Hi party people. Seems there is a lot of knowledge floating around here, and I'm glad of it. I just graduated yesterday from my first smartphone (Palm Pre) THE smartphone. I am in love, and am wondering why I waited so long to hit up Android.
I did developer mode and all that jazz on my Pre, but feel a little overwhelmed on all this rooting talk, so if you can, answer a few questions for me.
1) If I root without flashing a new or even rooted ROM will that give me access to delete ring/alert/alarm tones from the system folders and replace them with my own?
2) If I do choose to flash a new ROM will I have to manually update my phone? Will this require a flash ROM each time?
3) I spent a really long time getting my scenes just the way I like them yesterday, is there any way to save and transfer them to my new flashed ROM?
4) I totally see the appeal, but why wouldn't I want to install a new ROM?
Thanks,
~Tom
