What are the chances of me bricking my phone if I decide to root it? What are the major benefits of rooting? How hard it rooting?
Sure, I could read through this thread, but face it, I'm injun. Sent from my teepee

just rooting isn't very hard and has little to no chance of bricking
but rom flashing can get scary sometimes on a DX luckily SBF files save the day, if they've released one for the latest DX OTA

you have to root to flash a rom. root is like admin access to the phone. a rom is the operating system.

Interesting. Only thing I really want to do is screen shots. Pisses me off you can't do that stock.

Ok, so disabling the "safe headset volume" or whatever stopped it from adjusting my media & alarm volumes when headphones are plugged in. But it still throws my phone into vibrate whenever I plug headphones in. Even if I turn it all back up after plugging in the headphones, when I unplug them it puts it to vibrate again. WTF
I guess I'll flash the next AOSKP and hope it was a bug they fixed. I'm on a build from a while ago.

CM10 and AOKP are still pretty similar. Besides this bug (which may be fixed by now) I like AOKP better, but I don't know why
 Might flash MIUI today just to fuck with it.

I wish all the MIUI devs would work on one build. There's MIUI.us, MIUIAndroid, and I think an Epic one or something.
 The first two are the big ones, which to try  ---------- Post added at 09:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 AM ---------- think I'll try miuiAndroid first
