HI! I am a newbie here... sorry for this question... it's probably pretty dumb question considering you are all quite the tech-wiz....but I would really appreciate if anyone could please explain to me what "dumping" or "rooting" means and what this download on the rooting thead do for me?

Can anyone help me understand? Pleaseeee...

Re: Droid Eris System Dump? ANYONE???
 

The ROM dump is used to create new ROM versions for the Eris and other devices by retrieving all of the system files.

Rooting basically gives you higher user permissions on your phone allowing custom ROMs to be loaded, a wider variety of apps to be installed and overall more control over your phone.

It's not quite that simple but that is the general idea.

Thanks, Pjsockett. I appreciate the explanation. :)

Would I need to do rooting in order to get the GPS nav to work on this phone or is this function just not available for this phone due to the limitation of the android 1.5 ver? If 2.0 ver becomes available, would that be something I can simply download from HTC or verizon website and get the GPS working properly?

Also what other really cool apps would I be missing out if I don't have access to the phone with rooting? Any examples?

Thanks!

The app I'm most waiting for is wifi tethering. There are other nav options besides Google maps navigation but when 2.0 comes out it should be included in the release.

HUH? GPS works just fine for the Droid Eris. I have about 10 GPS enabled apps (Google Maps, CO-Pilot Navigation, the standard weather Widget, the standard Footsteps widget, and a handful of other small apps [like Compass, etc... that all are location aware and working great).

You may just have your GPS turned off. Google Maps won't turn it on by default. IF off, it'll just use the cellular triangulation. Make shortcut to the GPS switch and you can turn it on/off at whim to save battery.
