Rooting the droid

Android terminology forum post.

A few how2's.

The 's just mean you'll need to download something and have it ready for the rooting/flashing process.

Here is the droid rootkit that scripted most/all of the rooting wiping process.

After you complete the rooting flashing to 2.0.1 step you can proceed with flashing the bugless beast V0.4 ROM. Don't enter your google user name until after bb V0.4 is installed.

This is the ROM that I'm running, it's called bugless beast V0.4 based on Adroid 2.2 release FRF84B.

Ok to enter your google username now. Phone will seem sluggish at first. Enable wifi to speed the download and restore of all your old apps.

You'll want a new kernel. Mine is the ChevyNo1 ULV 1.25GHz version. Some phones don't support that fast a clock speed though.

A few benchmarking programs, you can search and install from the market.

Linpack - I get 19.196 Mflops on my droid.

Gears- I'm getting 61 frames per second.

Quadrant Standard - 1557 is the score on my phone.

NenaMark1 - 11.8 seconds

Manual install process for the interested.

A few tricks that your phone can now do:

Install adobe flash 10.1

Wireless Tether goodness. I downloaded from the Market though.

Get yourself a terminal emulator.

Chrome to Phone. Send links directly to your phone from chrome or firefox.
