Erik, I also have (and love) the EVO.

 

I’ve always hacked and tinkered with every phone I have…

 

I initially rooted the EVO a lot and played with many roms when I first
purchased it.  However, throughout time I have stopped doing so, and kept
with the stock rom.  Mainly because it got to be time consuming and I always
found quirks.  That, and when Sprint would release an update, I couldn’t
apply it because I was custom and ‘special’. 

 

Sprint technicians are also getting pretty good at weeding out rooted phones
and denying any support for those.

 

I’m happy with my decision to stick with stock roms.  I can still install
some custom apps (Keyboards mainly).  Check out the gingerbread one if you
haven’t yet.  IMO the best so far.  The only thing I currently see
advantageous of a root is the ability to take a full image backup of your
phone.  But then again, I back up *most* of my phone nightly, so if I do
lose the phone, I’m covered.  Just have to spend time re-tweaking the new
one.

 

Hope this info helps.

 

-Sam

Lately I’ve been seeing a number of articles and videos on rooting Android
phones, including the HTC EVO that I use.

 

Besides the obvious ‘gaining root access’, has anyone done this that can
list some of the benefits from rooting your phone ?

(I’m thinking maybe I could finally uninstall that Nascar app that was
bundled by Sprint )

 

Thanks in advance

Holy crap, I thought Erik was joking amongst friends.  If that is not the

Erik, you're right. I did overlook the part about "first-hand experience."
That being said, at least I gave you valid information. I don't know what
your problem is, but I'm a bit tired of your dogging me. You don't want to
see my contributions, then filter me out, or can't you figure out how to
create an email filter to delete my posts from the list?

Subject: OT : Rooting Android phones

Lately I’ve been seeing a number of articles and videos on rooting Android
phones, including the HTC EVO that I use.

Besides the obvious ‘gaining root access’, has anyone done this that can
list some of the benefits from rooting your phone ?
(I’m thinking maybe I could finally uninstall that Nascar app that was
bundled by Sprint )

Thanks in advance

None... can't afford the data plan. :-( Just speaking about what I've read.

So John, which Android phone do you have, and what advantages did you gain
after rooting ?

Basically by "rooting" your phone you get the ability to install 3rd party
apps that are not specifically approved by your carrier and as you say,
uninstall crap that you don't want. :-)
