Morning all!

So for those of you who have rooted your phones - I'm seriously contemplating it. There is too much saying it's not that difficult and that the performance is much better once you do. My question is this......what do I have to do prior to rooting? I know there are probably threads about it but I'll be honest - I don't feel like wading through hundreds of posts to find the essential information that I know some of you can give me. Thanks.

yeah once you have the drivers and everything backed up which is not really needed because when you root you will not lose anything on your phone until you wanna take the next step after rooting which flashing a Rom.

what you are actuality doing is pushing an app called Superuser which gives you the ability to give certain apps to run on a higher level of required permission... you will also be turning S-off or the built in security that is put on the incredible and when that is turned off you put the phone into a debugging developers mode and once there you can flash custom roms and things like that

all that is done with one click with the root program which you will download from
unrevoked

Hello friends. I hope everyone is doing great. Between working out of town, the intense heat, and life's obligations it seems I have not had time to say hi. Have I missed out on anything exciting?
