Rooted last night, few questions...

[awdtsi42o]

Last night after doing a lot of reading I rooted my phone Thanks to all of the people who made the one click root possible - that was awesome! Have a few questions...

1) I download BusyBox Installer and ran it, but there is no icon for BusyBox and I can't seem to find out how to use the application. I am not even sure what BusyBox does but read I should download it after rooting so I did. It says the installer ran fine and says done, but don't see anything different.

2) Where is the best place to get themes for my phone? This was one of the main reasons I wanted to root my phone, and can't seem to locate themes to download that are good...

3) After rooting, do I continue to use the Android Market? Are the new applications that I can use available on the Market or do I need to download a new application?

4) I current;y don't have internet at my house, roommate busted router Anyway, I only see 1 - 2 KB/s using Utorrent and it will take a week to download a movie. Sometimes it will jump up to 50-60 but only for a minute then it will drop to 1-2 KB/s and stay there. The higher speeds are only when I first plug in. Have tried it all different times of day and night, service is almost full. I know 3G isn't going to be anywhere near the speed of cable, but I think this is quite low from the reading I have done about this. I have tried EasyTether and WiFi Tether.

Thanks very much guys for any help you can provide, I appreciate it very much. You guys have a great forum here, glad I found it!

1) You should now have an icon that says Superuser . If you have that , then you are good 2 go .

2) Go Launcher EX has a lot of FREE themes from the Market you might wanna try .

3) Yes , you can still use the Market .

4) You might wanna try this link : Faster 3G

Didn't work 4 me but a lot of others are having some good results .

I am using Wireless Tether for Root Users and getting good speed . Make sure you get the Stay Awake Widget or your phone will go to sleep & you'll lose signal .
