Rooted Android Phone

[TerriblePizza]

Has anyone around these parts rooted their Android phone? I consider myself pretty technically savvy, but I haven't worked up the courage to actually do it yet, seeing as you could brick your phone.

I have the T-Mobile G1, and I'm beginning to really feel the limited space for apps.

how many apps do u have? and how many apps do u really need?

The problem is that the G1 (the very first Android phone ever) has very little ROM space. I literally only have 5 or 6 apps and that is pressing for space.

does it void your warranty when you root your phone? I want to root my Droid to get access to 802.x1 wifi or whatever you call it.

If it doesn't void your warranty I'll probably do it on friday and report back.

That really sucks that 5-6 apps is pressing for space, I'm happy I waited a long time to get a smart phone. I don't buy any new technology until it's established. The last days of old technology are always wayyyy better than the first days of the new technology.

yeah i know how you feel man. i have the same phone and i dont have much space. plus the battery SUCKS!!!!!!!

i do know that people have rooted it. on another forum i go to a guy said he does stuff like that all the time and he sent me a link to some site about how to do all that stuff. but i also saw that some peoples phones did brick up.

so i didnt do anything with mine.

I think I'm going to give it a shot this weekend. If it bricks it, its just an excuse to buy a new phone.

@SorthNarolina: It does void your warranty.
