Hello all. I've had my thunderbolt for a little over a year now and decided to root since the 1 year warranty is up. But I have some questions.
1) If rooting allows you to get rid of bloat ware. Does it speed up the phone getting rid of lag and provide for better reception? Does everything stay the same on the phone except to be able to get rid of the bloat ware?
2) Do Rom's work with any rooted android? Or are they more specific?
3) If they are more specific, I have a verizon thunderbolt with there latest software update. This is what my phone tells me.
Under phone sorfware status it says. Thunderbolt 2.11.605.19
Under about phone it says. Android version 2.3.4 , Htc sense version 2.1 , software number 2.11.605.19 710ord
4) With that info, which I hope is enough. What roms should I be using? And is there a sticky or post with a list of roms for the thunderbolt?
5) Does someone have a compiled list of thunderbolt Rom's? If so can they post it and then have it stickyed under the root and rom processes? Also would like to see what they look like if that's possible.
Any suggestions on roms would be greatly appreciated.
What I'm trying to get out of the root is to get rid of bloat ware, simplicity without being boring, better reception and battery life and just better over all performance. Lets just say I want something to match my personality.
And I've been up for the last 20 hours plus reading the boards and tried all the tips and tricks I could find. Which lead me to wanting to root my phone. Now I'm brand spanking new to all this and find some of the stuff confusing but not all. Those who have put in the time and energy for the simple one step root I applaud you, BRAVO! And many thanks. And I'm not worried about rooting anymore. What I am concerned about is Rom's. Any info or input is greatly appreciated. Please also understand I really don't understand a lot of the tech terms and would appreciate things put in simple laymens terms if possible. Lol sorry
Thank you in advance
