Hi forum! Just taking a second to introduce myself.. I've been in the tech scene for a long time and have always enjoyed tinkering with PCs and the like, but had yet to get a smart phone until a few months ago. Got myself an LG Optimus S for pretty cheap and am having fun with it but it's a bit slow.. am hoping that rooting it will make it a bit faster for playing the silly games i spend hours on it with.

Thank you all for your very helpful posts and information. It is truly appreciated.

Welcome aboard.

Rooting will not make it faster.. all rooting does is give you write access to the hidden system folders.

However, if you root it and then install SetCPU which allows you to modestly overclock it, that will make games faster.
