The letters "efghi" mean what versions of Android they work with, Eclair, FroYo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich. If you see SuperUser in your apps, click on it and go to "Check for update". It should tell you if you're rooted correctly.

1) You're not supposed to extract/unzip the SuperUser file. At all. Just get the zip and place it on your SD card.

2) You downloaded the Fastboot Command Folder, right?

Great! So that folder you downloaded with the 3 files, open that folder, and in a blank space in that window, hold down the Shift key and then right click. You should now see an option to "Open Command Window Here". Use that, and it should work now.

Personally, I love the look of BoRKeD ROM, but if you're looking for tons of mods and stability, I suggest HOLLICS ROM.

There are others too, so take a look!

Hi guys. My tech guy will come tomorrow and root and flash my phone as i am scared to death of this process. My vivid is having software issues (shuts off itself when asleep and wont restart without reinserting battery). From my research, most guys say that it is due to the software and bloatware etc.

What i need to know is which rom would best suit me. There are lots of them listed there. My phone comes with icecream 4.0.3. But i don't really need a fancy rom. Something stockish and minus all the junk and running smooth and fast.

I was told that WildChilds was the best but now that seems to be out of commission. Any recommendations?
And should i go up to jelly bean? Is it worth it?

Yeah, WildChild had a ROM that was beautifully stock, but I'm not allowed to share it publicly. However, HOLLICS is ICS, stock, with fixes, mods, and tweaks. You can keep it stock, or change things around.

It's a similar clone to WCX. It's just not overclocked.

What are the benefits of an overclocked rom? Wondering if an overclocked one would suit me better.

I just read up on overclocking, and think it could be helpful, as currently when i run a few too many apps she does tend to get a bit slow.

Any other roms that you would recommend, that are just and good and stable but also overclocked? P.S stability btw is paramount. If need be i would sacrafice the overclocking feature.
