Like the title says, what's next? I mainly did it because I can and to get access to more functionality for Tasker scripts. What root apps should I look for? Not sure I want to do custom ROMs just yet - maybe later... What should I do to optimize my phone now that I have root access?
Sorry, I know this question has probably been posted before, but I was too lazy to dig after my searching for root methods that were reassuringly simple for me on my first attempt at it.

So i recently rooted my MT4G and all and that really killed my brain haha. And i wasnt sure if i wanted to keep it rooted. So i read one of the post how to unroot. I was quite confused. Its pretty much like the same process as to root it. Now i watch a video on youtube where a guy used a program to root it and unroot it was With a special program or something and i was curious to know if anyone was working on something like that or knows of something like that in the future.
Even though its a different HTC phone. I was just wondering if some day it will be that easy to root and unroot.
I cant post a link yet because this is my first post. but go to youtube.com> seach How to unroot your mytouch 4g. And one came up as How to Root and Unroot your Samsung vibrant. 2.24
There are guides on how to root and unroot in the android development section. I can't imagine why you would want to unroot? it doesn't hurt anything and even if you never install a custom rom it is still good to have to backup your current rom and apps with ROM Manager and titanium.
Although the process is not a one click solution it is almost. temp root with visionary r14. Copy one file and run it from the terminal app on the phone then use visionary r14 to permroot with one click
Please post questions in Q&A Section.
Well it did hurt the wifi. Cause i keep getting Error. And when i looked at the solution patch to fix it. i went what the ****?!?!?! im more of the visual learner. If there are videos on how to root/unroot or whatever it would make my life alot easier.
To unroot its the same process as to rooting just put the unroot folder in?
HI Guys,
Im a bit of a newbie on the rotting front.
Ive done some reading up on rooting that seems pritty simple and i get what it does BUT if i root my phone will it change its appreance in any way or the way it works by default if i dont change any thing. As the only reason i want to root my phone is to get rid of the ****ty apps that come on it.
also if i root it can i update to gingerbread?
All answers welcome

see....this is a very common asked question,
if you root your phone by propc method Link, it will give you a gingerbread theme.
but if you root your phone directly, then you will have same appearance, only there will be a Super User Permission app.
and you asked about gingerbread ROM, you wont get it now.
bcoz there is no custom ROM for it. developers are working hard to get it. so you need to wait for some time.
rooting is absolutely safe if you follow each step carefully.
i will recommend you to use this guide. Link
hope you succeed!
Droid X2 2.3.4 unrooted (for the moment). Can I remove adds? Addfree is for rooted only, and I cant make my HOST FILE r/w because of noot root access. But there MUST be a way to get rid of all that junk...
Thanks in advance folks!
Incorrect.
I suppose you could root...apply adfree...unroot.
Only problem being that you couldn't update the host file again.
Also, why not root?
It's as easy as one-click to undo it...
And once you realize the MINIMAL potential that simply rooting gets you...maybe you'll wanna' break into custom roms!
They really make your phone YOUR phone.
And you can always go back to stock again from there as well...which will take about an hour. Seriously.

Please note that anything Droid X2 related should be posted in the correct forums. The Droid X2 has it's own subforums.
To answer your question though, there really isn't a way to block ads without rooting. Just not possible. Why not root your device and install a custom rom? It may seem over your head right now, but I guaruntee you'll love how speedy your phone will be. We have plenty of guides and tutorials over at our section, that will assist newbs like you in getting started.
What advantages do u get by rooting your android devices?
Sorry to ask such a noob question bought my first tablet couple of days ago, had a desire s a couple of months but still a complete beginner with android, only ever been interested in pcs
Well, there are a few items it will allow you to do.
1. Load a custom ROM.
2. Theme.
3. Run root enabled apps.
4. Install Mods.
But root in it self is not needed unless you have a valid need. You should not root your device just because someone else is. If you have a need to do it, then by all means, do it.
yeah I ain't gonna bother doing anything til I learn more about it, just been reading the forums and seen people talking about and wondered what the advantages were.
Thanks for your reply

Really dude. Please take some time to search through this forum, read the stickies and how to's, the general postings, Q&A postings and the development postings AND follow-ups.
Rooting is really simple with this phone; so is adding a custom recovery and kernel too. [in begins with CF]
Seems this question gets asked daily.
However if you are spoon fed you will get the benefit and pleasure of actually learning for yourself.
A great video to start with is right here.

As above post. Questions are ask in Q&A. Also depending what firmware you are in. MDC,MDL,MF9 each has a different way to root. Just takes to search. We arent bashing on you for asking this its just that A LOT of people call themselves noobs and keep asking the same question over and over and over again over time.
