Good to hear! I've been interested in that ROM but I can't let go of MIUI. If you two have time sometime then tell me how you like it

I love it, I put it on our spare "house"phone that we leave for the kids or sitter. Once I let my wife use it she wanted it on her phone....done Then I showed my employee who had one and I am doing that right now as i type. I tried MIUI and hated it, to much like the Iphone for me. I tried CM and I think the other was shadow rom or something.....? Between my DX and these other phones I have been playing with I cant keep them straight. Anyway so far Sourcery has been great, New features never seen before (to me) and it is so easy to change things within the program as far as themes and such are concerned. Also they seem to care and are on top of keeping people happy and making mods/corrections etc. And no I do not know them or work for them I was just that impressed with it.

So, the kids and/or sitter get a rooted Droid with a newly released ROM? Pretty nice haha. And on MIUI, you don't have to have the iPhone look. You can have an aosp based theme that will make all of your icons the default icons like on all the other ROMs. Only thing you can't change are the menu. Which I like because it's all there and it has more options. How long has it been since you tried it? It's evolving quickly and is getting a new UI overhaul. Built in theme manager, music player is amazing, lots of good stuff Haha. Ranting, sorry.

Excellent. You explained this spectacularly. I have a MacBook Pro running Windows 7 64-bit on Parallels, and this worked with no trouble at all.

The only odd thing I experienced is that in Internet Explorer 64-bit, the dropbox file links returned a 500 error. When I downloaded the files in Firefox, they worked fine.

Thank you so much for the info. I learned so much. Even though I used Z4root, I really found your article interesting and it answered some questions about the rooting process that I had.
Bravo.

I'm using winrar

I use 7-zip, but it IS merely a .zip file...

Okay, try this one.
