I know this has probably been asked before...but I'm a noob and couldn't find anything in the search.
I've rooted my Froyo X using doroot just for the wifi tethering. I want to know what other uses there are for a rooted phone.
Can I change the notifications so they're unique to the event? I get the same sound for a text and when I plug in the cable.

First check out the Droid X Wiki for some nice guides and info on what you can do with your newly unlocked device.
And to answer your last question... you can do that without being rooted. Just go into any app that sends you notifications.. and in the settings of THAT app... you can change which notification sound it plays when that particular app notifies you.

Oh cool. Thanks for the info and the n00b guide. I just got the X a couple of days ago and came from an omnia winmo6.1 so this is all new to me. I fkn love this phone/interface so much more intuitive.
Does anyone know if there are more TV apps like TV.com?
Former i910er myself... It was a huge difference jumping from all this omnia roms to this. Also loving my X... Love it when girls say how big it is...

Sorry...I mean it worked in the sense that you can make calls, but texting was a chore and navigating through contacts, making appointments was next to impossible without the stylus...which I promply lost after getting my 910.

Ok, I have to give you that. The default WM 6.1 was a HUGE pain
It was much better after upgrading to WM 6.5.3
I used Thumbcal to replace the calendar, and Swype made typing easier

Alot of these or all of them are done with rooted phones... you have to be deodexed as well keep that in mind.

I have been a long time xda'r and Android fan boy ever since I got my G1 on launch day. The phone I had before my G1 was a iPhone and I did love that phone.....till my G1 and haven't looked back since.
One thing that really kinda peeves me is when someone asks a question like "how do I install the stock launcher" and you see people respond with "Why would you want to get rid of TWLauncher?" One of the beautiful things about android is the deep level of customization you can do.
Dont like your back ground: Change it.
Dont like the stock mms app: install a different one.
Dont like the notification bar color: Use metamorph and install a different one.
You have your tastes and preferences, but yours isn't the only one. If there was only one way to think, we would be asking Steve

Is anyone using KIK messenger on there HD2? If so, what are your experiences?
Worked fine for me, but I don't really see the need for it over regular sms.
Actually the story of me installing it was pretty cool. My friend mentioned it to me and another friend. None of us had it installed on our phones. One of them has the iphone 4 and the other has the evo. We all started trying to install it at the same time. I had downloaded it, registered and started adding friends before the other two even had it downloaded.
Yeh I just like the fact it shows up as D for delivered so you know it got there. Then R for read so you know they read your text. My only problem is that it lags when receiving new messages. Whether its my data or not I'm not sure but I normally have data connection and they still don't come.
hey how did u guys get it in on your hd2? i thought it was only for andorid, bb , or iphone?

Have you added these libs from an Eris ROM to /system/lib:
libhtc_acoustic.so
libhtc_ril.so
And added these lines to the build.prop:
rild.libpath=/system/lib/libhtc_ril.so
ro.telephony.default_network=4
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=310012
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Verizon
ro.ril.htcmaskw1.bitmask=4294967295
ro.ril.htcmaskw1=268449905
I would also take out any ro.ril.* that are in the original build.prop.
Of course, I haven't looked at a Moto ROM in a while, so I might be totally off base.
Thanks that might help
I'm curious -- what device are you porting this from?

What are the benefits over the stock OS? I don't see anything new, and switching in between home screens is glitchier. I am running 1.8.3. Also wondering where the webtop option is? It's not coming up when I plug it in, nor am I finding it in the app drawer.
Well.... i don't believe GingerBlur is a different OS. As far as i'm aware, because of the locked bootloader, that's kind of impossible at this point. I believe GingerBlur is basically just an extremely modified version of the stock OS to make it look as much like Gingerbread as it can.

First of all, please don't shove words in my mouth. I am thankful for GingerBlur, and whoever is making it is doing a really great job, I am just wondering why my home screens are really running like crap. There is nothing wrong with it. I understand it's still in beta, I am just wondering if it's my phone doing it, that's why I posted here in the first place and wondering if it's normal.

It's a bit glitchier than normal. Like they aren't as "smooth" as they are on stock when flicking left and right to switch between the home screens. Also the webtop hack was installed before installing gingerblur, and it said it was included in the 3.1 update. I just don't see that option when connecting HDMI.

nvm reinstalled the webtop hack, working great however the homescreen shouldn't be lagging the way it is. I am uploading a video, it's not showing how slow it is though through the video. maybe I flashed something wrong in my phone.. i just rooted from stock without wiping anything, and updated to gingerblur. i keep seeing steps to flashing to gingerblur and reflashing the sfb first.. , but i didnt do that, maybe thats the cause of my "laggyness"?
UPDATE (Video with lag, it really looks smooth in this video for some reason, it's really only half that)

I think the ones in older Sense devices just logs crashes in apps though, while the one in new Sense devices logs everything, giving the old one less important info, and leaving the new one far more vulnerable.
Isn't this where droidwall or the like comes into play? Removal is always best but blocking those unwanted apps from accessing data should be commonplace.

I removed it from my wife's stock 2.2 shift and it caused a force close loop which I had to pull the battery to fix. Once the phone rebooted everything was fine though and the logger was uninstalled.
