All,
So I'm brand new to this forum, but I've got a couple of questions.
I'll start with a little background though..
I've had an og droid, and a droid 2 (since my original kept breaking, the insurance company didnt have any more droid1's so they sent me a droid 2), and when the droid 4 was finally released I left work and picked it up the same day. I've had my droid 1 rooted, but never rooted my d2.
Anyway, I'm downloading the appropriate files as of now. I am a little confused though, does the utility option have the ICS 212? or is it the original first leaked version? If I were to utilize the utility option would I be able replace the ICS file inside the "files" folder and drop in the 212 version? or would I have to flash after I rooted my phone?
I also have a question about ROMS... Where do I find the best one for me? and is there a way to find that nifty little startup customization that has the droid destroying the apple trademark?
And last question, if I have to take my phone in for service, is there a way to unroot my phone? or since it will have ICS on it, the option won't be available until the official ICS build comes out?
I'm not worried about being off the official upgrade path since I know that so many people already made the jump to ICS that SOMEONE is bound to come up with a fix since they will be off the path as well. Besides, the customizations that are available on the rooted path would make up for the official OTA path.. at least I think so..
Anyway, sorry for the long post, just curious because I want to make the jump today, but at least with a little more knowledge.. If I posted in the wrong section please let me know, but I'm guessing since this covers a plethora of areas, I'll be allowed to keep it here.
Thanks for your time and nice to meet everyone!
