Questions about a specific phone are best answered by others who have that phone in that forum. In this case, it might be the rooting sub-forum.

My almost 2 years with a Pre+ are coming to an this weekend. Galaxy Nexus should arrive on Monday. Thanks for this guide it looks like it will be a big help.

Hopefully I can avoid mucking up the new phone with a bunch of duplicate contacts. Synergy was so great for contact management.

What about OpenSSH server, so I can login to the phone from my desktop?

Came over from webOS reluctantly with a used EVO Shift until Sprint comes out with a phone I like...I have not updated from froyo so I can root and get free tether. I just temp rooted and am now trying to find a free WiFi tether app that will work with my TouchPad as it will not work with Ad-hoc...any ideas? Also, I have checked out the "rooting, ROM, et" thread and am hoping I can use the auto-root method but haven't been able to open the program successfully. I'll keep tryin. I've been procrastinating as learning an entirely new platform can be frustrating. I'm using a windows 7 64bit machine, I have the SDK/ADB installed correctly, I believe...any links you think may guide me in the easiest direction is appreciated.

I too came over from a Pre. I rooted my Evo 4G because I thought I would have to to get the cool features. But on my Epic 4G Touch I found no need to root.

[Only registered users can view links. ] and [Only registered users can view links. ] are popular apps to tether without root. Here is lots more on Tethering.

Has anyone found a podcast player that works even remotely as well as drPodder? Google Listen, BeyondPod, and the others I've tried don't even seem to work as advertised. I just want something that will automatically download new podcasts automatically every morning and let me play them easily. So far I've been lucky if the podcatchers I've tried would even download the list of new episodes automatically.

I've been trying really hard to like Android, but there's simply no comparison to webOS. I still use my Pre2 exclusively for listening to podcasts because everything I've tried on Android sucks. With the Pre2 firmware update that includes Skype calling, I'm tempted to switch back to the Pre+ or Pre2 for everything and only use the Droid for its wireless hotspot, camera, and GPS. I swear even my non-overclocked Pre+ was at least 2x-4x faster than my Droid X2, even on the X2's best day. The only thing I like better about the X2 are the larger screen, working GPS, and the much-improved call quality. The app selection is a little better, but most of the apps on Android are crap, aside from a handful of games and a couple productivity apps. The fact that I can't even do a 100% reliable full phone backup also irks me, because the only "solution" to the famous X2 reboot problem is a factory reset or a new phone.

Thanks for the great intro. I will likely be moving from webOS to Android in a few months and really appreciate the effort you have put into this guide.

Need a Dr podder replacement. Amazing what android can do but amazed more so.by what it can't do given all the hype. On my statrosphere I have to use three email apps: Gmail, yahoo mail, and the stock email client for Hotmail because there isn't a standard email app like on webos. I have tried k9 but it feels too raw and buggy. This is 2012 and its a smartphone...don't understand how email is so weak on the device. I still am a webos fan at heart and keep my pre2 with me along with my touch pad...I am trying to keep an open mind about Android and some other operating systems...but some of the basic deficiencies are mind boggling.

For Dr podder replacement try Doggcatcher. I can from webOS and I love it. Works great. Also get presto plug in and you can increase playback to 1.5x w/o distorting voices
