im rooted... now what?

[dannymarz]

ok, im a noobie that just rooted my droid 2... now what? im not sure what i can do or how to get it. ive tried scolling around the forum to find out but everyone is talking way too technical for me. i jailbroke my itouch and it was pretty easy to get free apps and custom themes, but i cant figure out what to do with my droid.... someone please help.:icon_eek:

Check out the Droid 2 rom section. Add arom, theme, Overclock, wifi tether etc.

have a blast, be sure to back up!

Making a backup before you make any changes to the OS is critical. A solid backup can save you hours of work and frustration.

What recovery system are you using?

Recovery system? Not sure, how do I check that?

That's not much help. But thanks anyway.

Sorry for the delayed reply. I needed to research something. SPRecovery will not work in the Droid 2 so you need to use Rom Manager/ClockWork.

thats my problem.... when you say "use rom manager/clockwork", i have no clue what it is, where to get it or how to use it.i would love to learn more about all this. is there a section that teaches the basics of using a rooted phone that speaks to "us" less technical users in a less technical way? or maybe a reference section for technical terms that ive seen in the forums like rsd lite, rubix, motoblur, blackice, sprecovery, roms...etc.

Download droid 2 bootstrap from the marketplace. That will get you a custom recovery image which is how you flash roms.

Thanks for the tip, Spazz. Is this analogous to SPRecovery?

OP, here are a few links that may help:

You'll need both ClockworkMod Recovery, which as we all know can only be installed from within ROM Manager, and Bootstrap to backup and install ROMs.
