I am not sure where to put this, and to my luck my question might have been answered in a previous thread. A little back ground. I have so far rooted 3 phones. A Motorola Droid 3, A Motorola Droid X2, and now a Samsung 4g Epic touch with a Gingerbread build of GINGERBREAD.EL29. When I first rooted my Droid 3 I started to freeze programs. I didn't want to remove them do to OTA updates. I wanted to be able to go back to stock if needed. I didn't freeze many apps; most of them where just the Verzion apps. Then bloatware I was never going to use. I bricked my phone doing so. I had rooted my phone with Pete's root tools, and that had an option to install the original hardware. To my l lack of knowledge on how the to make the file system so that the Root tool could find, and install. I had to turn back in my phone. I played dumb. The root was gone I uninstalled it. That's how I got the X2. I rooted that just to have bragging rights that my phone was rooted. So now to my question(s). One: What is the benefit of rooting? Two: I been seeing a lot about custom roms. How do I install a custom rom?, and if I choose to install a custom rom how do I revert back? What is a good custom rom to install? What about the partition that the new phones are doing? I have 11.5 GB of internal memory, but only allowed 1.9 GB of that for apps. Does the custom roms Delete this partition? I know what I am trying to do avoids my warranty. I know that there is a risk of completely bricking my phone. That is why I am coming here. To find that the with the experience, and know how of not bricking. Thanks to those that help in advance!
