Root rooted or waiting?

[ylexot]

I'm fine with it as-is for right now and figure FroYo will be coming soon. I'll wait until after that update (assuming that root still works after the update).

I rooted, and there is no reason not too. When 2.2 comes out it will just erase it and I will start it again. Doesn't hurt anything and for the next month I get to have some fun with a few things.

I am not going to remove any bloat, so the better question for some would be why wouldnt you? Cant brick, doesnt hurt, just will get re-written over soon. Who cares?

I just like knowing I am the giver and taker of Wifi's in my office.

Im waiting for Froyo and then i'll make my decision.

F'n root ROCKS MAN!!!!!! just do it cause you can man!!!! This would be good practice for you all who haven't rooted before...so when Froyo gets here you already know what you are kind of doing...and its tons of fun!!! jmo

I think the droid x is already using variable cpu speed software.

I don't know for sure but I would assume it clocks down when its a sleep. Most modern processor do it now.

You would assume ALL phones would clock down when they sleep...

Ahh... but one can dream, right?

I have an idea how to retain root past the Froyo update. We'll see if that works but I'm hesitant to say. I don't think Moto would have a way to plug it before release as they are likely too far down the road on the release. They may have not even plugged the original 2.1 expoit either.

What exploit?

I rooted as soon as the exploit dropped, I don't see a need to wait.

well it looks like my edit didn't make it in (guess I forgot the "save" button)

I also would add that most modern processor clock down and up depending on the work load.
I'm not sure about the processor in the X so I'm just guessing but I would think any device that needs every bit of battery power to be used wisely would do it or have software that does it. You certainly don't need a 1ghz processor for a sleeping phone.

If it doesn't do this they need new engineers.
