Root app that roots, install roms, wifi tether for you

I installed the sholes yesterday at 3. VERY happy with the performance, the new Gallery is worth 5 bucks alone! Much zippier around the menus and the unlock is quicker without the stupid heptic feedback...BUT

Ive had 3 reboots, once required me to remove the battery.

After a call was dropped on their end my phone froze and vibrated endlessly until I popped out the battery... lol....but not really lol ya know what I mean?

Then this morning was watching a vid I recorded, skipped about 20 seconds in and then stopped, phone rebooted.

And lastly my stock browser hates hotmail, keeps going back to desktop\home with no error screen or anything (not too big of a deal as I use xscope and dolphin) but still weird.
 
Their web site said they pulled it today due to instability, dont know if they just fixed it and put it back out or not.
 
I think it is fixed and back out. By the way I still am not getting the coverflow music app. Does anyone know anything?

The coverflow music app only seems to allow the new cover feature in landscape mode (after going to library in the menu). It is pretty cool now that I figured it out.

2.02 installed without a hiccup!

Yup, fixed, according to the site:
- Reverted change from initial 2.0.2 that had a new su binary that caused the phone to reboot

Thanks, that was a tricky one. Another fairly useless thing too stare at endlessly moving my finger across the screen! :o

I have noticed the covers are different from the portrait mode ones.
 
lol ironically I sold my ipod touch for 150 yesterday (1st gen 16gb bought for 209 at bb well over a year ago).

2.02 seems to be doing great.... no reboots yet.

Are live wallpapers an option on sholes? Didnt see it.

I put my droid to the test all day with the sholes. Now i have not tried bugless beast so I can not compare it. After i romoved jit and installed home switcher and switched to the default home it has been good FOR ME. Bluetooth worked, music, camera, texting, it all worked for me. For those using it, even though you do not have to be an expert it is best to go the the obtain root, root your droid website to atleast be familiar what is going on with your device. To root or not, bugless or sholes is up to you. I am not getting a cut from either party so i am not gonna push either way. I am just telling u im rooted oc at 800 and running smooth (I prefer 800 over 1000, yeah im scared to go that high lol).

If I already installed the sholes updater and everything is working fine how do I go back and remove the Jit without doing that crap all over again. The reason I ask is, although I have no wierd reboots my browser keeps force closing, especially when trying to type on this sight. I heard turning off the jit(whatever that is solves everything). How do I go back and do that?
 
I just noticed since installing 2.02 my custom ringtones are not playing (the stock ones are fine). I am going to try installing again. Not a deal breaker but strange (I can play the ringtones in the mediaplayer). Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to flash I go...
 
Can someone help me please. How do I fix the browser force close issue? Do turn the jit off that I see everyone talking about? If so how do I do that? I downloaded the sholes updater yesterday and have had no problems except for browser. Not even a reboot. And what is this 2.02 everyone is talking about? Is it an update to the sholes update already?

There are two options:

1) Stock 2.0.1 (no root)

2) Sholes MOD 2.0.2

Although I have not tried #1 it should do the trick. Maybe you need to ask someone at the Sholes.info site.
 
what is the difference between this and bugless beast? how would I OC if I rooted myself and installed beast?
