Root Rooted and have some questions

[JasonPurp]

Let me start off by saying I am not in any way new to Android or rooting (I don't know why I felt like adding that, but I did).

Anyway, today I rooted and installed the Voodoo Lag Fix. Are there any NOTICEABLE changes? Everything seems to be just as slow or fast (however you want to describe it), and the colors seem to be the same (I read that it enhances colors).

Also, I want to keep my phone running quick, so I want as few apps installed as possible, but I also didn't root for nothing. SO: if I remove bloat that's safe to remove, will I have any problems taking the Gingerbread OTA when it comes out? I remember the DROID X used to check for all bloatware or else the update would fail. Also, are there any good root apps to check out? I know about most of them, but anything specifically recommended for the Charge? I've never overclocked because I read it can overheat the phone, but I guess if it IS a better experience, I should give it a go, right? What's the recommended overclock setting?

And finally, should I accept the GB OTA when it comes to us? Will the rooting method be the same, just with different files?

I know it's a lot but I'd really like some answers. Thanks in advance!

The voodoo lag fix changes your file system type to a faster version. I was unaware that it enhanced colors, never heard that one.

Also, I want to keep my phone running quick, so I want as few apps installed as possible, but I also didn't root for nothing.

Yes, the upgrade would fail for the same reasons. However, you would be able to flash a custom ROM or go back to stock if you want (to get the upgrade).

Also, are there any good root apps to check out? I know about most of them, but anything specifically recommended for the Charge? I've never overclocked because I read it can overheat the phone, but I guess if it IS a better experience, I should give it a go, right? What's the recommended overclock setting?

All preference... I personally like AdFree Android. Everything else doesn't really matter to me. I personally don't feel the need to OC.

And finally, should I accept the GB OTA when it comes to us? Will the rooting method be the same, just with different files?

Too early to tell. IMO, just wait and get the rooted version.
