OK.. thanks
I think I am going to root when I get off of work.
Why would someone need both? Or was this a typo.
I am really on the fence on this right now.
Do the current roms have flash and every other spec/enhancement that comes with the 2.2 update?
Yes and more. As far as I know none of them have flash preinstalled (I could be wrong). All you have to do is just get the apk and install the flash yourself.
get the free version of rom manager. Also the the paid one. You can then flash away. I just loaded jrummys Lithium and it is by far the best rom I have ran so far (been rooted since 2.0.1) you may also want to read up on how to use rom manager it takes some getting used to. But is real easy once you get a feel for it.
gotcha. Tryin to find reason to not root and go wit the ota..but i cant find any lol. and when the 2.2 root comes out.. i'll just go to the 2.2 and root from there
Thank you very much for those helpful information and I definitely will try out those ROMs you mentioned !
Actually I am glad that I closed my eye and clicked the purchase button, I am a happy rooted user now!!
Pretty much what is going to happen is someone is going to get the update.zip and forward it to the devs. Once that happens they will work their magic and we will have the exact same thing as the OTA. I like my wifi tether and ad blocking so I'll just wait for that. To each his own though I guess.
Just a word of caution though. If you install the actual update from Verizon it may take a while to get root. It isn't as easy as update then root. It has to be cracked first. It could potentially take a while so if you want to get rooted you may want to go ahead and do it now.
I have been sitting here for an hour trying to decide to press that "root" button.
I can't seem to do it. Some sort of nagging fear of having to resetup my phone or lose data or something. one of those things that once you have done it you would be like "oh man, if I knew I had to do that, I would not have done it".
Plus, I dont feel like I have the several hours needed to really get into it:
root, download roms, test, learn new 2.2 features, overclock, kernals, etc...
ugh
Yea, thats what I meant. Id root before getting 2.2. So afterwords id wait for the 2.2 root to come out and then get that. Instead of getting 2.2 thru ota and waiting with stock 2.2 for the new root

after doing a lot of reading on it...its not that much of a learning curve..just a few new terms and your good to go. repitive motion. and if you make a mistake you can always upload your old data file and start over with what you left off with.
I did this a little while ago. Quick, painless, and simple. Now I'm enjoying the root-only apps.
