[Q] Rooting NewComer

hey everyone,
I have a Droid X that I just rooted using z4root. I have the official 2.2.1 update.i currently have Milestone Overclock. I have the speed set to 1.5Ghz. I was wondering what I need to do/know in order to be successful at rooting and other things with my Droid. Any help/tutorials would be awesome. For instance where to find info on custom roms. Basically I just want to know how to do things on my phone that rooting allows.
Thanks

Welcome! There's a whole section of forums dedicated to the droid x. Custom roms are available there. Pretty much anything you'd be looking for is there. Start in the general forum.

I figured I would utilize my first post at xda to lend a helping hand.
If you check out the Droid X Wiki on xda it lists some custom roms and tutorials that should get you at least familiar with things. I would offer you some info but im not too familiar with the droid since my platform is the Evo. Read the wiki and look in the development section for the droid to research which ROM people seem to be gravitating toward. You cant post in that forum yet, as neither can i, until your post count is 10, but through intelligent searching and reading you should be able to at least get the basics to get you started.
Also, im not too sure what the stable underclock/overclock speeds of the Droid are but 1.5 Ghz seems a little high. I could be wrong but check it out anyway. Good luck.

Help with rooting and custom kernal

Hello
Im pretty familiar with gingerbread and run custom roms on my desire hd but am struggling with where to start with my xoom. Are there any simple guides or one click rooting tools. What do I need to do to install a custom kernal etc etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

What version do you have? Wifi only or 3g plus wifi? Are you currently running 3.0.1 or have you gotten the ota for 3.1? Are you familiar with using ADB? The answers to these questions will help this community help you.

There's plenty of info on the Development Board, including setp by step. As was said though, tell us which Xoom you have etc, etc.

[Q] New to this

Hi all
I am new to this whole thing, I once flushed the ROM on my HTC Hero a long time ago, but from what I understand things are easier now.. I now own a Motorola RAZR and would like to install Jelly Bean on it.
Is there a post that someone can refer me to, where they will tell me step by step what needs to be done to accomplish this?
Thanks for the help.

[Q] Custom ROMs?

Hi all, Im new to this site and to Android, I was an iPhone user for a long time and could do anything with it, jailbreak etc. had it all hacked, but got fed up of apple so I bought myself a Motorola Razr i XT890 and I love it. I rooted it straight away and no problems. As im new to this id like someone to point me in the right direction of where to find custom ROMs? Would i be right in saying I cant get clockwordmod recovery on my model and therefore cant get/install custom ROMs?

Just a quick Google search will return some results for roms (droid razr . com is a good site) Otherwise though you do need safestrap in order to flash roms. (again just Google it) anything else you need, just look through the forums and you'll find it.
And might I suggest simplex as a rom.

[Completed] I need a basic rundown of rooting benefits.

I recently bought a Moto X Pure from an XDA Member which should be here at the beginning of next week.
I used to own a GS5 which as you know is pretty locked down. Locked bootloader, hard to root, if you updated you're screwed, ect. So! I've been out of the rooting game for a while now and only really dipped my toes in to begin with.
My question is, can anyone explain the basics and benefits of a rooted device? Specifically, Xposed Framework/Modules, Root detection with Android Pay, and maybe some things that i've gotta try out with a fully unlocked android device. I plan to install an AOSP ROM but im gonna try out stock Moto X first and see how i like it.
Another short question I have regarding Android Pay, i've heard that some root techniques make Android Pay not work, some are fine, some custom ROMs wont work, AOSP roms will, can somebody clarify all this for me?
Thanks guys, you're always helpful. Glad to be back.
