Im gearing myself up to finally root my phone...all because of the news of this rom. Ive been waiting for a froyo 2.2 rom that has just about everything working. No 4g in Detroit yet so im not worried about 4g. Im really excited about the use of full flash in websites...However once i root, will i lose all of my previously installed apps? I know that this question is a little off topic but, I want to know that once I install cyanogens rom all of my paid and free apps can be recovered(Noob Question)
Thx
