Re: How-To: Root your Droid

I just got the Droid from VZW and used the free app "PDANet" to watch the Colts game on my drive from New Orleans to Pensacola, Fl. I didn't experience any problems watching the game. I was delay streaming (10min) on my HPdv7, and never got disconnected.

Back to the topic though, I really want to root my droid and have a couple of easy questions.
1. Will I lose the apps I have installed on my Droid.
2. Is there a way to increase the bandwidth of the phone.
3. And I use windows 7, one of the first instructions mentioned not to rename
using .zip, what does that mean for me?

Thanks.
