I already said that JUST rooting your phone you can overclock, which means changing the speed. There is a thing called "SetCPU" in the market for 2 dollars, just look it up in the market and read the description and see what I'm talking about.I don't wanna JUST root, what's the point of JUST rooting without the good stuff? I wanna learn how to do the rest too. What are roms exactly, and kernelz? What do they do, are they easy to put?
What's good about JUST rooting is that your phone is rooted lol
You can have Wifi Tethering on it and still overclock it!
Putting cool ROMs and themes and stuff on are nice extra, but wouldn't ever hurt to just simply root first then go on from there.
There is a ROM section on this forum, developers just like me and you create them and people put that on their phones. It's not to hard to do, just follow instructions.
If you have AIM I can try to read through it again and then I'll go over it with you and help you root if you want.
Oh and I have a 1.1 GHZ kernel that lets my phone run at well, 1.1 GHZ's which is twice as fast and smooth as ours right now, yours is running at 550 MHZ's.
I was in your position only 2 weeks ago so it's still fresh on how I was like when in your shoes lol
No I don't wanna JUST root my phone, I want to change the processor speed along with it as well and make it quicker. (Does running at 1.1 GHZ cause any problems whatsoever to the phone? If it's normally running at 550 mhz, and doubling the speed it can't be normal lol)
I keep reading something about bugless beast, I'm guessing that's a rom?
I'm gonna try and do this maybe today, tomorrow or whenever soon.
I'm gonna private message you right now and give you my aim screen name. Ill go on later on tonight, I'm stepping out soon though.
BTW, is there anyway that I can back up the phone JUST in case something goes wrong? And when I do root it, is everything saved on it still?
Bugless Beast is a ROM, and that developer put out a kernel that makes my phone run at 1.1 GHZ with that ROM. It runs REAL smooth and fast, I'm running Helix Launcher 2 from the market flawlessly. Switching screens and opening up apps and what not is just awesome.
There is a ROM section in this forum you know, with several different ROMs and whatnot, including Bugless Beast. Those developers create these ROMs and everytime they make it better they post it on this site for people to try and stuff.
And btw there is a 800 MHZ kernel, 1.0 GHZ, 1.1 GHZ. 1.2 GHZ, so you can choose different speeds depending on your phone. I personally love the 1.1 GHZ though, a lot of people like a nice simple 800 MHZ, it's whatever lol
But um, devz make ROMs and themes and whatnot and it makes the phone look and feel different too. Like for example in THIS post you'll see his icons are not the same as the ones you have, and other stuff like the power control colors and all icons are like black and white. That is a Bugless Beast ROM but he has several different other themes and whatnot to make the icons like that and stuff.
But you seem like the person, like me, that doesn't care to much about the looks, but the real internal improvements. If this is the case, go with Bugless Beast. BB also has different customizing icons, like the facebook widget is black, and whatnot.
But Bugless Beast is one thing, and if you look HERE you will see the latest Bugless beast ROM and it has option for themes too like Nextheme and SmokedGlass theme, which are just different looks, it's not hard to try them both out to see what one you prefer. Oh and also a Stock theme.. lol
Hope I helped a little!
