Root Questions about DINC Root

Hey guys, a bit new here but it's my first android phone and rooting has become somewhat of an interest.

Just a couple questions I had from reading other forum topics and posts.

1) What's the big deal with City ID? Why is that the main thing everyone wants to remove?

2) Has anyone overclocked the DINC yet? Or is that not achievable yet?

3) Is there a list or group of apps you should get right away when you root? Like ROM manager and wifi tether?

4) From reading some of the other phone forums it seems as though the DINC has been a very hard phone to root in comparison to other, I was curious as to why?

5) Can I flash back to stock at any time if I have problems?

6) When you backup your phone in clockwork mod or recovery? I'm a bit confused on all that still. Is it a complete backup of root and all with your current apps installed?

Edit:
7) To remove apps completely that are unwanted such as CityID do you have to go back into recovery? Or can you just remove them anytime now because your phone is rooted?

8) If I buy a PNY 2GB to root, can I got back to my 16gb after once it's rooted?

I think that's it, sorry if they are newbie ish questions. :o

Cheers,
Flawless

It's just an annoying app that does pretty much zero except bugg you to pay for it

Not until nand unlock happens and roms are made

3) Is there a list or group of apps you should get right away when you root? Like ROM manager and wifi tether?

There's a thread around here that list all working root apps so far

4) From reading some of the other phone forums it seems as though the DINC has been a very hard phone to root in comparison to other, I was curious as to why?

Not sure, I'm not a dev

5) Can I flash back to stock at any time if I have problems?

You should be able to do so

6) When you backup your phone in clockwork mod or recovery? I'm a bit confused on all that still. Is it a complete backup of root and all with your current apps installed?

Titanium backup will allow you to completely backup pretty much everything on the phone

I think that's it, sorry if they are newbie ish questions. :o
