Root You've went and rooted the phone. Now What???

[argedion]

Taking the step to become root on the phone is a glorious moment indeed however much like marriage its not about the wedding (that one event). It's about keeping control over what is on it and what isn't. Most have started down this process for the simple reason of getting rid of bloatware on a phone that we deem as ours. What to do with that power is totally up to the user now. No longer are you being dictated to by a corporation that thinks they know what people want but now you are being dictated to by your own imagination. Getting Root on your phone means that you can do anything from change ROMS/KERNELS to THEMEING your phone. It also opens up NAND so you can NANDROID BACKUP/RESTORE. Something many of us feel should have been given to us by this so called corporation that knows whats best for us. So now that you have taken the plunge to ROOT the phone now what to do with it.

RECOVERY

There are two basic ROMS. Corporate ROMS (Sense, Fungus, etc) and then there is AOSP (Android Open Source Project) What to install is totally up to you and what you wish to do.

one question, what is fungus?

It could be a happy mushroom

Technically its says that I didn't remember other names of interfaces so I put fungus in there. However, because I am how I am I'm sticking with happy mushroom

I had also envisioned Early asking this :smokingsomb:

That being said Phases may decide that the duplicate is not needed and delete this post. I am sure he will make appropriate changes to the ATR that point to this post and have it point to the one in the FAQ.

Again none of this would have been possible with out the awesome people that hang out in here.
