root or ICS leak

[rickrabies]

i recently acquired a droid 4.
i had a rooted and liberty rommed D2. it was nice but had some qorks from being old.

i have a hatred for bloatware and nonsense. ..
that being said. should i wait for the ICS update?(oct 2012?)
or jus root the phone on GB and enjoy it?
or download the leaked ICS? then root?

either way id like to delete bloatware but try out the ICS in the future.
i have 2.3.6 and version 6.13.219

anyone debate the same question with yourself?

**edit**
not sure why and how i didnt see the "all things root" at the top, sorry

i tried this to the T
http://www.digitaltweaker.com/andro...t-motorola-droid-4-on-android-2-3-6-or-4-0-3/

It didnt do anything. droid didnt even reboot. did t respond at all.
checked in romtoolbox and system apk, shows no root

so after no answers and more research i found this.
Droid 4 Users! WE HAZ ROOT!

and it worked...and i HAD to HAVE the motorola cable, no other cable worked.
rooted now...but now i have lots of force closes on stop apps :/ ffffufufufu

Hmm, force closes eh... did you uninstall the bloat or freeze it? Personally when I first rooted I did a bit of both, although you have to make sure what you get rid off/freeze is safe to do so.
