Downloaded a terminal emulator, figured out to type “SU” since it forgot to mention that, but then when I type “adb shell” it comes back saying “shell: not found” What is that command supposed to do? ---

adb shell is only used if you are connecting to your phone from your computer (via the android SDK). You already have a shell, so just skip that one. ---

> [@Fry](#): > > OIC > > So what’s the over/under on me bricking this thing? Maybe I’ll just leave well enough alone. I dunno…I mean what was the purpose of rooting? Just to remove a couple of pre-loaded apps? Did you backup your ROM beforehand? ---

if you back up your ROM then you can always just restore if it all goes bad for some reason ---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 AM ---------- try this, go to the market and download root explorer ($ .99 highly recommend this app use it myself can use this to umm “copy” paid apps), then go to system/app find the apk you want make a copy of it put it to your sdcard just incase something go wrong then go back and rename it to a .bak in the system/app folder for example the amazon mp3 app is com.amazon.mp3.apk change that to com.amazon.mp3.apk.bak ---

> [@ProgRocker](#): > > Did you backup your ROM beforehand? Fuck no. I’m a cowboy. As for why? I should ban you for even asking for a reason to fuck with a gadget ya homo. But yeah, it was to uninstall crapware. When I see apps that I don’t want and can’t uninstall sucking RAM my OCD flares up. ---

I highly recommend anyone who has the original Droid still and is rooted to run the bugless beast v0.5 rom, it is a lot faster than the ota update with a few nice features too. You will not be dissapointed I always run the bugless beast roms ---
