I noticed when running moodio.fm that the temp hit 111, granted I was streraming it for 2 hrs. I now know if I am going to stream like that and the screen stays on to just throttle back. Have any one come across any other apps or programs that it is best to throttle back.

I Can't Believe I Rooted My Droid

111 seriously is no worry for your device. Think of it this way, will 111 degrees kill you? No. We are way more volatile when it comes to heat than electronics are. Warning: argument does not work for examples containing water.
After reading multiple guides and testimonials, I think I'm going to be taking the plunge tomorrow. http://www.droidforums.net/forum/ha...ng-only-sprecovery-terminal-emulator-zip.html -- This looks like a good guide to me 
wish me luck

Borrow mine, lol.
Seriously if you are scared buy Sholes and have it install for you.
the thing is, this phone is almost idiot proof to actually brick. There is an awesome step by step guide by matthew for bugless beast. You won't regret it.
See how many of us have done it? If something happens and you need some help we are here for you!
Actually temperatures of 105 or more can kill you. ;(
That being said many people have had no problem with running the droid at that temp in the short term, but we have no long term data on it. This is part of why rooting and overclocking voids your warranty. While the phone can and does run at these speeds no problem for most, some people do experience problems and that's why Motorola shipped the phone the way they did.
i thought it was high because all other apps and data on my droid normally do not peak above 101. Moodio.fm feeds live and it keeps the screen on so its processing the stream at 800 and probably everything else. Either way to be on the safe side when I run moodio.fm to stream sports Ima just throttle down to 550; i didnt have a problem with it running at that speed before.
I was the same way, afraid of what could happen. But I have no apprehension of building a $3000 computer and oc'ing it till it cries. Yet here I have a phone and afraid to touch it. LOL
So just like a computer- read-understand what a rom will do. Read what all the tools needed to perfom the job do. Backup-backup-backup and you cant go wrong.
And it helps to have the forums to guide us along

My biggest issue now is probably finding a window of time to do this. I'm thinking the instruction path vs the auto install path might be more preferable as I think less people get stuck. (stuck as in it took a whole lot longer than they thought it would).
For those who don't want to root because they won't get the OTA remember you can always go back to stock and get updated. I suppose you can even stay rooted, see what the update includes and then decide to go that path or wait for it to be rooted so you don't lose wifi tethering and overclocking. If you take the update prior to it being rooted and Verizon did something to make rooting much much harder that might be a bummer. Although, I did see mention the Nexus has been rooted but I also saw that Google was releasing the code to the manufactures who could then make further tweaks before updating their phones.
I manually installed 2.01 and am wondering for those who got it OTA...was it a notification and was it optional?

I rooted using the Scholes updater and it worked as it was advertised.
I have a question - I have lost the ability to use maps and the car application. I did not uncheck during install, but have lost for now.
Also still have corp calendar even though i unchecked during install.
I love the new mod and the new speed, but would like to have these apps back to use.
Thanks for the help, and I didn't "f" it up in the process. Just need a little help

You need to read the screens better ... for corporate calendar (and the Car Dock) if you want to KEEP them, you need to UNCHECK it. (The screen is for REMOVING the app, so checked means remove, uncheck means keep).
As far as losing the ability to use maps, if you mean it is not installed, then install maps from the market. If you are having other issues, let us know what they are.
I wish I had the sack to try this.
RFLMAO. me too. I don't NEED to do it. I'm not a power user at all but, I wanna do it. Someone had a hilarious response to someone telling them that rooting was easy. His response:
But I'm scared!
am running away.
or something like that. I was dam near on the floor. That was sooo funny to me. Now that the root app is out, I know deep in my heart eventually I'm going to do it. Right now, too much of the terminology is foreign to me to try it. I'll tell you what though, if rooting would give you Bluetooth voice commands, i'd figure it out right now.
When I read the "sack" comment, I literally lol'd!I wish I had the sack to try this.

I feel the same way, though. I've built several computers, overclocked them & made them my b****, but I am so afraid to touch my Droid! I've read all the guides on manually rooting & it seems very easy, read up on sholes & it seems easier still, but I just can't dig up the guts to jump into the pool.
Like everyone else, I don't really NEED to root, but some of the benefits are intriguing, I must admit.
Much like you guys, I did not need to root my Droid but wanted to, decided to take the plunge and wasn't up to the task, asked for help and got it. Have been rooted for about a week now, trying to get up the nerve to overclock, don't know yet wether I will use sholes or do it by direction, if I get stuck I know I will be able to get some help from this forum.
