Question Just a quick request for the next root project.

I was satisfied with the stock ROM as is but wanted root access so that I can run certain apps and have control over the system, so I opted to try the root.

Fact is, running the stock ROM with "ADW launcher" and "Auto Task Killer" was an almost perfect running device. Bottom line, everything just worked!

So please... is it possible to have a quick and easy method like you have done already without removing or adding any software (except maybe moxier)?

Maybe we can have that done with the next updated 2.1 coming...

As much as I want custom ROMS, SE did a very good job for their first try. We have to admit that. I am confident 2.1 ill be even better

What are everyones thoughts on that?

hi

just skip step 4 of the root guide if you do not want apps removing , im not even sure why it is in the guide in the first place. it is more 'aftercare' than actual root. it is over complicated guide for little reason, imo we need a root tutorial not a set up the phone to devs preferences tutorial

root on 025 firmware is accomplished after step 2 , step 3 adds part of a newer baseband , step 4 removes apps/keyboard and moves them to SD card as .apk

skip step 4 and use an uninstall program to remove moxier

edit- this is based on the original root guide from sunday evening .

Will doing it that way still have no issues with MMS, Headset and so on?

The root from sunday was on a firmware release from feb, the recent one is from the release from 2 weeks ago,

some changes are faster/smoother timescape/mediascape
longer batter life!!!

few more bug's fixed. I would suggest doing it all over again

Follow up, I tried the new root method...

All I can say so far is

It's a much better way to go, for sure!

The new update is from feb but the FOTA package updates all the phones files to the R2 Rom which was released two weeks ago so the whole package is smoother and faster generally speaking.
