    Root New Incredible Owner :) - Couple Questions

    Hi, I just made the switch from a Droid Eris to a Dinc. I've got some experience with rooting and installing custom ROMs but I just wanted to double check a few things before going ahead. 1. Best way to root is unrevoked.com right? 2. I tried CM7 RC1 on my Eris and it was nice (although...

    Root Is Gingerbread worth it?

    I put GSB on my Eris and while I think it's awesome that devs have been able to put the newest version of Android on our old phone, I'm not sure if I see much reason to keep it over a rom like xtrSense. I think the customization of CyanogenMod is cool and there are some nice new features, but...

    Root SMS Popup over lockscreen

    I installed GSB 1.5 and it's great but I'm looking for a program to show my new SMS message over the lockscreen. I tried handcent and SMS popup but they didn't show it til I unlocked the phone. Am I missing something?

    Root ROM Switching help?

    I'm currently using xtrSense and I've had it on my phone for a long time now. I love it and it's been such an improvement over stock. But I'm interested in switching things up and trying something new just for a change. I'm liking the looks of the new ADW EX so I think I might try a froyo ROM...

    Root XtrSense vs. Nonsensikal

    I've been using XtrSense ever since I rooted my phone a few months ago. I love it and I'm glad I chose it. But I've been looking around at the different ROMs lately and I'm interested in trying something new. I'm really a fan of Nonsensikal. I like the look a lot and I'm interested in trying...

    Speed Boost app??

    Has anyone seen this app? Speed Boost - Android app on AppBrain It claims to boost the web speed of your phone by up to 80%. The reviews seem good but I'm skeptical. How does it work? Is this a scam?

    Root XtrSENSE vs stock 2.1

    I'm still running stock 2.1 and am pretty happy with it. I've heard so much praise of rooting and it's very tempting. After looking at all the ROMs, xtrSense 4 seems like it would be my top pick because it has SenseUI, it's new and very up-to-date, and it is known to run so well with so few...

    Root Thinking about Rooting

    I've been considering rooting my Eris for a while now, but I finally feel ready to go ahead now. Just wanted to clear some things up before I went ahead: 1. If I root using the new one-click method, should I do a factory reset after? Do I do this by doing a wipe in Recovery mode? 2. After...

    What is the best keyboard?

    I have a HTC Droid Eris and I've been mainly using the HTC Sense Keyboard. I like it a lot, although it can be laggy at times. I'm wondering if I should make the switch to an alternative input method. But I don't want to switch unless I'm positive it's the one I want because I plan on sticking...

    5 Questions

    1. I'm trying to improve the speed of the keyboard. Typing fast on it often causes lag. Few thoughts: - I have the Swype keyboard enabled (although not set as my default since I still prefer the standard keyboard). Would disabling Swype (so that it doesn't appear as an Input method) improve...
