[Q] Questions about rooting.

[woodsytattooman]

I have unrevoked 3 and all the drivers installed on my pc,buy before I try root.

Can I revert back to the original Rom?

What Rom is the best to use and where can I get it?

Is the custom Rom stable?

Can I easily run live wallpaper after root?

Is the phone user friendly after root or will the average person be lost?

Will I still have HTC features such as weather widget etc?

After root can I reinstall HTC sync to update my contacts or is there another method?

Thanks

5 - its friendly to average users and advanced users.

6 - if you want to root and still have sense, install this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=708434

7 - make sure your contacts are backed up just incase anything happens

Thanks for going through the trouble of linking all the relevant threads. Just to clarify something though, rooting and ROM installation are separate processes. You can root the phone and your stock ROM would still be on the phone allowing you to still use HTC sync.

Thanks so much for the information.Now its just a matter of doing it.I see a lot of people having trouble going back to the stock Rom so I'm not sure I will try it just yet.

i'm aware they are two separate things. if you go through the process of rooting, it seems like you'd be selling yourself short if you didn't put a different/better rom on the phone.

if you read the *entire thread* of people having difficulties in going back to stock ROM, see the message and steps I posted which solve the problems.
