So...I now have the Sensation on Cincinnati Bell and love it, and have a bunch of questions about rooting/bloatware/etc.
- First of all, I basically understand the allure and advantages of rooting, but some places I've seen articles/how-to's on One Click rooting - what are the advantages/disadvantages of this and what are the risks versus regular rooting?
- Secondly, if rooting is not the path for me, are "bloatware removal files/apps" safe to use if I just want to remove the HTC Sense(which I don't like) - like this Non-Sense Bloatware Removal.
- What are the real risks of bricking my phone if I do decide to root?
- Lastly, If I do decide to root, I've read the xda guide to rooting a Sensation. I don't understand if all these things - S-off, Unlocking, ClockWork, HBoot, SuperCID, etc - are dependent on doing them in a certain order, or if I can pick and choose the things I want to do.
So, I know those are lengthy questions and take a lot to answer, but this whole rooting idea is quite overwhelming. Thanks in advance.
