Root on Incredible 2

[hbsurfer]

i'd been a total mess without you guys!!!
you guys are awesome!!!
downloading apps now!
going to do wireless tether & titan backup to see if work!

I am glad it is working. Let us know how you make out. Don't restore too many apps with titanium backup. It corrupts them sometimes.

Glad to hear it. I haven't rooted yet so I can't give opinions or answers about the apps.

Good to hear you have joined the"Darkside" the first rom I flashed after rooting was Cyanogen 7, and this rom has performed so perfectly I haven't even wanted to try anything else that's out. The level of customization is phenomenal, tons and tons of themes to flash if I get bored. Today, I installed a new kernal that has some fantastic governors (smartass governor) that I'm getting some insane battery life.

Plus, now all the good root apps are at your disposal.
My faves:
Titanium backup
Wireless tether
Setcpu (overclocking/underclocking)
Root explorer
Apps2SD

And those are just some of the great things you can do with root. You have opened up a whole new world for your phone.

darkside

what do you like about it?
just those things? i'm learning!
what are the steps again that I need to try it?
i have it on my sd card already.
i won't lose all date, apps, etc...will i? just had to reload yesterday all after all my "mess"!
i had it on for a few i think, and it looked awesome!
any other thoughts!?
and if i don't like what do I have to do to go back?
thanks!

"you guys are my heros!"(said in a darth voice!) LOL

 

[hbsurfer]

oh and by the way...

which apps2sd do you like better?

 

[hbsurfer]

where do you get all the updates, and themes, etc....for cyn7?
after you put it on!

 

[Darkside86]

There are lots of reasons i like cyanogen.
Very Stable Rom
Great Battery Life
Lockscreen Gestures
Theme Support... Just go into Theme Chooser and select your installed themes on the fly, no need to "FLASH" most themes

To answer your question... Yes if you flash, you will lose everything. A simple fix for this is to 1: Copy your SD card to your computer. 2: (Easy Way) After Rooting your phone, install Titanium Backup, and backup all of your apps. Then after you are done flashing the rom you want. You just use Titanium Backup to restore all your apps.

Here is a link to download CM7. Don't forget to download the Google Addon Package or you won't have any google applications.
