New root

[Tonay]

Okay i just finished rooting and i was wondering a couple of things like....

1. How do i know if my phone is actually rooted?
2. What ROM should i start off with?
3. How do i get the gingerbread ROM?
4. Is there a test i should put my phone through to see if everything works?


Any suggestion from you guys that i should do if my phone is rooted

1. you should have a superuser app in the drawer. you can also download titanium backup in the market and once u start, it'll tell u if ur not rooted. also, try going into recovery and see if u have clockwork or amon.
2. check out the xda forums. start off with the stable roms (CM 6.1.2, Myn's Warm, Mikfroyo). Always do NAND backup before flashing and don't forget to wipe.
3. i wouldn't play around w/ gingerbread yet till you get accustomed to flashing roms due to instability issues.
4. only way is to actually use the phone and try everything out

You can actually grab them in Rom Manager, it makes life easy

XDA is better to get your ROMS from. Rom Manager hasn't been wiping and people have been having terrible issues after flashing that way.

XDA has them. Download the zip of whatever rom and then put it on your sd card. Boot your phone into recovery. Do a nand backup. Then wipe cache, data and dalvick cache. Then flash your rom from sd card.

You need a recovery. Doesn't matter if it is clockwork recovery or amon RA recovery. I prefer amon.

 

[Tonay]

For some reason my computer wont download amon RA recovery so i am gonnga try Clockwork recovery

 

[Tonay]

Can someone give me a link on where i can find either RA recovery or clockwork recovery cause i kinda got lost :/

those threads get updated so fast you may have to go to the 2nd page sometimes....

You can use rom manager to flash both amon or clockworkmod (just scroll to the bottom of the first menu).

Thank you for that!!!
