OK problem fixed!

**Rooting from 2.2.1 on Droid 1**
For those having the same issue as above and using Rom Manager:

Use SuperOneClick 1.55 method for temporary root access(this only gives simple kernel access DOES NOT ALLOW FULL ROOT ACCESS)
Install Rom manager from the market and go all the way to the bottom and use "flash SPRecovery 0.99.3b"
Then use this update.zip file placed in the root of your SD card to provide full root access. Then once back up and running go into Market and install the latest SuperUser app.

See source if you have any questions regarding the process.

Pretty sure this would also work on ANY os regardless of version.

**Source for where I received some of the files to do this Big thank you to Motocache1 @ Droidforums.net

Excellent thanks for the suggested apps!

Now I face a dilemma, to root or not? If the process is simple and yields many great benefits (Which tbh I am not aware of atm) then I'd be more inclined in doing some research. However, if the risks are high and not much changes aside from not being able to overclock then I'll just stick withs stock.

Was in the same predicament not too long ago. Is the phone working up to your standards? Is there anything that you can think of that you would NEED that requires root?

Root access, if you have ever used **nix, is just that. It gives you Superuser access to the full filesystem. Allowing for updating and modifying ANYTHING related to your phone.

Yeah I know what root means its just that even if I did root I just don't see what I'd be able to with it that I can't already do. I don't really feel the need to overclock performance to battery drain ratio is good in my book.

 

[Ahhzz]

the only reason I rooted mine was for Titanium Backup (requires root), and a couple of the games I play stream tons of ads, and I've got an app to edit the hosts table, which also requires root. Otherwise, I haven't even installed Cyo or any of the others

 

[JrRacinFan]

After using latest Cyo 6.1.2, I switched over to the latest Bugless Beast, much MUCH faster just all around better. I must say, titanium backup+rom manager, you are near 100% free of truly killing the phone. Only way you could potentially kill(kill is a strong word, should be unusable) it is if you don't have a rom backup of your previously working stable rom.

Count me in, got a replacement for my borked Nokia X6 last week, the HTC Wildfire, it's not as good as the likes of the desire, but bloody hell am I impressed with this phone so far, Android is far superior to crappy symbian which my Nokia ran. Not installed many apps yet as the default ones are fine for now and not really had the time to.

My fav app so far, PhoneMyPC... It's god damn amazing.

best possible forum for android: XDA-developers
here is the desire subforum: clicky

everything you need

and check out tasker, it is the most useful app i have found yet

you need root access (which you loose your warranty) and you must/attain an app called SetCPU

Unless you find a good custom rom which has pre-clocked kernel. Also got milestone overclock which works with stock kernels.

@digibucc

Been using Project Elite, just updated to 4.1. Man this is nice! You should try it out!

@The Don

Very VERY nice phone. I like!

 

[Kovoet]

Hi Guys add me if you can please. Using the Samsung Galaxy S with 2.2 loaded up with some Gingerbread apk loaded as well.

What do I think of the phone love it and it took a while for me to get off Balckberry's. I work in the mobile industry so wanted to get to know the android market and loving it.

 

[Marineborn]

Add me i have a samsung galaxy S

Screen based keyboard and text editing, DROID X

I have a question... a DROID X: When entering/editing text using the on-screen keyboard, moving the cursor to the right location is a f*cking b*tch! Have to use the back button and try positioning with my finger, not easy with entry boxes within web sites... SMS and other DROID phone entry boxes have a "magnifying glass" that helps you slide the cursor with your finger and get it in the right place, which is ok in most cases.

Are there any add-ons (or something already there) that acts like arrow keys to move the cursor?

 

[JrRacinFan]

@Sasqui
Have not seen something like that (yet).

@digi
Man that stinks. Which one you on currently? Cyanogen?

 

[digibucc]

Fresh. for Evo and Hero.

it is Sprint Sense based, but minimal for speed and battery.

 

[JrRacinFan]

I like that. Is that a 4G phone? Been meaning to ask you, is 4g really that much faster than 3g? Cause i was looking online and was doing reasearch. I saw 4g does 100Mbps when mobile and 1Gbps when stationary. Would it be more down to what your provider allows? Sorry, so many questions and with me being the inquisitive kind....

 

[digibucc]

np.

I like it alot. only android phone i've had, but i tried the hero and didn't like that as much. this thing is a beast. snappy, powerful. battery is a killer, but as long as you turn off wifi/3g/4g when not using, it fairs well enough.i've never lasted more than 3 days on a charge, but i consider that pretty good for these things.

as for 4G. it's not really 4G. in fact, they were told afterwad by the ieee they can't call it that. too late. it's WiMax. I don't have it in my area, so have only used it a couple of times. it was fast sure, but definitely up to the provider. more like 6-10Mbps. WiMax can handle 100, sprint won't give it to you.

 

[JrRacinFan]

Ok! Thanks that was the answer I was looking for. Cause if I go to www.thebetterinternet.com they are a new provider that goes over 4g for a complete wireless solution. I was thinking about switching but their advertised is something like 3mbps/512kbps and right now im getting 12mbps/2mbps(and sharing between 4 pc's). So in theory if it they "open the bottle" could see WiMax being a complete wireless solution even for the home soon.

I prefer using the new TeamViewer app for Android!!! it RULES!
