Rooting an Android phone
« on: June 18, 2013, 05:27:46 PM »
Have any of you ever rooted your phone? I finally figured out how to do it to mine and got some internal space gains from it. However, it's still not close to what I've read other getting when they rooted their phone.

So, no I am looking it installing a custom ROM that has all of the bloat stripped out of it. However, the directions I've found online might as well be written in Greek. I've tech savvy but they make no sense to me.

Sooo, to make a long story short, if any one has done this before I'd appreciate some help.

Thanks!!

I don't personally root my phones but everyone I know that does uses the following site. It has custom rom's and other developer advice and help. Simply search custom rom and your phone model
