Had some rooting questions, but I felt that some of my questions were specific enough to the razr to warrant a post in this subforum. Due to hopes of conserving some battery life, turning into my phone into a hot spot (doesn't necessarily need to be rooted I believe), and I guess anything else I run into I've been looking into finally rooting my razr.
I don't find most technology related things difficult, so I'm not against using a more difficult solution to root the phone if it accomplishes anything different. However from what I understand about unix, gaining access of the root user is getting access to the root user. There's nothing else terribly complicated about it. If someone could just explain the different ways to root, and why one would choose one method over another it would be much appreciated.
Secondly, I was curious if there were other Kernel's available for the razr that would be 'better' than the stock. I'm also curious where people find OS's to update their phone with once rooted, and if updating the OS is necessarily a good idea.
And finally, I'm just curious of some of the more interesting things I can do once the phone is rooted. I had planned on grabbing titanium pro and set cpu once rooted to help (as mentioned) with conserving battery life. I had read that there are also applications that let you take screenshots once rooted, which could be a cute feature (although I don't know the names of said applications). I'm just curious what some more interesting possibilities open up once a phone is rooted.
Thanks!
