Don't burn that sucker out before the big update! :icon_ banana:

I overclocked my Droid and I am loving it especially wifi teather.

Ah....go ahead and let him burn it up, cause THERE IS NO UPDATE!!!!

You big tease!

Got to agree with this. I'm also overclocked (@ 950 mhz), wifi teather and running Smoked Glass v 4.0. That rom is slick as anything and honestly has most of the features that everyone is waiting for in 2.1

Its not difficult to root and get these things installed. I did everything on mine in about 20 minutes total. Just read and follow the directions and it should go great.

and just because i like beating dead horses.......
a rooted phone alone will not prevent the unlikely yet still anticipated "official" release of 2.1 we are not going to recieve?

Depends on what you did to root it. I believe if you used SPRecovery to root that it blocks the OTA. Not sure about others. In any event, if you are rooted and some kind of official 2.1 comes out, then you can always reload a clean, stock 2.0.1 on your phone and get the 2.1 update that way.

Thanks for that...hadn't read that article....at least some good news

Not sure whats in that update. When I rooted the other day, I followed the instructions here - Installation | Sholes and then I followed the instructions to install Smoked Glass. I know since I have SPRecovery installed that OTA is blocked. But, if your rooted, you should be able to get back to a stock image if you need to.

If you want to install the 2.1 roms then yes, you have to root your phone. If your asking about having to root your phone when official 2.1 comes out from VZW then the answer is no.

You create a "nandroid" folder yourself
