Actually, changing the font on the GS2 doesn't require root. It's built in. Settings > Display > Screen Display > Font Style
 
hey guys

i have no idea what im doing here so this is what im trying to do.

i like the phone and all but have a few things i want to tweak

1) the homescreen to have 5 dock icons, i have this now, i downloaded ADW launcher but i want to make the icons a little bit bigger

2) change the lockscreen

3)i want to use Go pro SMS for my messaging unless i can edit the stock one. i have this done but i want to change the icon from the gosms icon to a regular message icon but i also want it to show the notification (similar to the iphone)


can i solve some of this through rooting or what, sorry for posting this here i just dont know
 
Total newb to the Droid arena. I tried to do this lastnight but can not get superoneclick to work. I downloaded the zip file but when I try to unzip I just get a message that says superoneclick stopped working. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Yes and no. Seems like you want an entirely new theme and/or a new ROM. You need to be rooted to do that, but you should probably see if there are any themes or ROMs out there that will do what you want first. Also maybe see if any other launchers out there will do what you want that maybe don't even need root.
 
You need Odin 1.82, the drivers, superoneclick, and the clockwordmod file. Easiest thing to do is to create a folder in your computer just for Android stuff. :)
 
OK, I downloaded all four things I need. So is clockwork just left zipped as it was when downloadex and then its location entered into Odin when I get to that step?
 
can somebody tell me why do i have to flash it before rooting it???
the method to root the captivate doesn't involve rooting it
i'm kind of skeptical
