And it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. In case you don’t know what that means, I pretty much hacked it to be able to access some system level commands that normally wouldn’t fly. Here are some things I can do that you can’t:

  • Delete the shutter sound on the camera so I can creep more (j/k)
  • Wifi tether – This is the best. I can now make a wireless hotspot using 3G. F off Verizon for blocking this because I got it anyway
  • Titanum Backup – Can backup any app/ app data and restore it
  • SetCPU – The Droid has a 600 mhz processor in it. Verizon underclocked it to 550. F that. I can now OC it to 800mhz. I have it running at 600 though, and 250 when the screen is off to save battery. It’s legit
  • Screenshot – I can take screenshots by shaking my phone
  • Ad blocker – I am able to write a hosts file to block admob and all the stupid shit
  • Delete those stupid fucking Verizon apps they don’t let you get rid of (Amazon Mp3 and Visual Voicemail)
  • Rom Manager. Can use custom roms
  • Quick Reboot widget

Droid = much more win now
