I THINK I just rooted....

[krichmond0306]

...but when I tried to install Titanium Backup it first asked for permission (which I assume means I successfully rooted) then said it couldn't run. Is there a way to make sure I rooted? I want to backup my system before I start doing what I want like remove 'bloatware'.

Also any suggestions on what I should do now that I'm rooted? Best programs, etc?

if you have a terminal emulator app you can type in su and see what it says. if its permission denied then you didnt root. if it comes to a # sign then your rooted. Terminal emulator apps are free on the market

Ok I did that it came up with a file path and the next line only had a $, rooted?

Hit the Problems button in Titanium Backup; it needs to download an updated version of BusyBox in order to work.

Yup got that so I am rooted. Now what should I do? My big goal is to improve battery life

Clear your Dalvik, do a power cycle, use Set CPU to underclock when the screen's off and when your battery starts to drop.

Best app to underclock? How do I do a power cycle? What is it?

SetCPU in the market and you let your phone run down till it powers itself off, plug it into a wall charger and let it sit for an hour to two hours so the charge not only finishes but stabilizes, and then use normally.

I'm unaware of any other over/underclocking apps in the market besides the ones for the X/2 and Milestone, so I might be mistaken, but SetCPU is the de-facto overclocking app (and it lets you underclock for things like screen-off, overheating, and low-battery levels so you can save juice and rock Andy a little longer. ).

I used the Rom managers back up utility, and it works flawlessly from the boot recovery screen.
