On Super Bowl Sunday while waiting for the big game to start I was bored out of my mind. Who gives a crap about all the pregame crap? I decided to take the plunge and root my phone. After a month of reading posts on forums like Alldroid, and Howards Forum I decided to go with SholesMod (now DroidMod). Thinking back, Rooting my Droid after drinking a few beers wasn’t the brightest idea but what the fuck. I followed all the instructions and watched as my phone scrolled through all the command prompts. I have to say, the process was painless and pretty fool proof. Now I’m not saying go ahead root your phone, nothing wrong can happen but it worked flawlessly. In a matter of minutes I was rooted and overclocked. Since that time I have unrooted and rerooted my device. Added Theme Rom overlays from Krazykrivda at Alldroid and used Metamorph as well. I have found the DroidMod theme to be stable but I am now getting ready to try out Cyanogen Sholes Mod. I’ll let you know how that goes in a few weeks. Until then, I highly recommend checking out DroidMod, at your own risk.

Rooting and Modding my Droid

How’s cyanogen…? I had it on my G1 for ever ago… was… ok… but that was about 5 months ago, I know a lot has changed… I did basically what you have with DroidMod and have been thinking about trying Cyanogen again… is it worth the effort?… I really hate wipeing and reinstalling 90 apps, setting up the home screen and all… so?
I think so…I am currently running Pete’s rooted ESE83 2.1 update on my Droid. The Mods that are out there seem to be a lot more stable than they were in the past. Also, ROM Manager makes it easy to switch between the different Roms out there. If you don’t want to have to reload your apps every time you should download Titanium Backup from the market. You can backup up your apps and it will restore them with the Market connection. Check them out…You can always switch back.
