Should I root my phone?

I got the samaung galaxy s 4g a few weeks. I was using a rooted g1 with froyo 2.2 on it. My friend has the samssung vibrant and hes bricked it twice and had to send it to tmobile. Is it worth rooting my phone and flashing gingerbread on it. My galaxy s 4g is running 2.2.1 I just wanted to delete some of the preinstalled apps to clear up somw space and get some more ram? Any ideas without having to root?

I'd say its not reliable yet, most rom chefs are already went back to the JSx roms.

Rooting? Yeah for sure, its always nice to have it rooted.
Gingerbread? Wait some more, as mentioned before its not perfect yet, 2.2.1 is still more stable and better for daily use. Sammy will bring out the official ginger soon and then It wont be long before the stable roms leave the kitchen

yes you should root - no steer clear of vm1. Its a very buggy beta and the clean final is imminent in any case.
After rooting suggest you experiment with flashing any of the excellent 2.2.1 custom roms out there - then when the gingerbread roms come out you will be experienced enough to take advantage of those.
That is the best advice I can give to you
oh, and do plenty of reading in this excellent forum - there's plenty of brilliant advice - but you have to take the trouble to find and read it all

*SOLVED*[Q] How can I root my GT-S5570 SAFELY with Android 2.3.5?

CLOSE THIS THREAD. PROBLEM SOLVED.
Hey guys! I'm new to XDA and I have a question: How can I root my Galaxy Mini SAFELY? I already broke 4 phones and my parents are getting really mad if I break another one.
I already tried the following:
-SuperOneClick (Any version I could find )
-Z4Root (Just freezes :/)
-UniversalAndRoot (Doesn't work too )
I don't want to use GingerBreak and Odin because I am really sure I would mess it up.
http://androidforums.com/galaxy-mini...3-2-3-7-a.html
I found this site and I was wondering if it would work with my phone too.
Please reply if it works for my phone
Some detailed info about my phone:
Carrier: T mobile NL
Language: Netherlands
Picture: IMPORTANT

I hope you guys can help me.

LGUI3.0 JellyBean ROM in the works - Needs few testers

Hi,
Yay I'm back. Will release TouchWiz ICS4.5 this weekend and TW5 JB in two weeks.
As above I have incorporated TonyP's LG CWM ROM with CM10 to make as a LG3 ROM with 4.1. I have deleted the CM10 parts from it later so its very stock like. Please a few testers try it and give me feedback as my 2X isn't available at the moment.

Thank You

Feedback would be great ASAP. I hope it even installs lol

Awesome
I have downloaded it, and installed it. First off all I use 3.0 gig data partition and teamwin recovery, wich works flawlessly. It says in system info that it is still 4.0.4 but I don't know if that's actually true , the rom is smoother than the others, stefan and tonyp's and for the rest I don't really know what to say, sorry I'm a noob but, thanks and it works!

If you can run CM10 it will work. Requires no partition.

Does Google Now and Chrome work. It would be fast as it has project butter.
Yeah I've realised I have wrong build prop in there.

[Q] advice needed for ROM selection

Hi all,
My wife is using an international Samsung Galaxy Note.
As all of you have already know the performance of the phone has been degraded more and more as upgrades are added to it. I have wiped the phone and downgraded to 4.0.4 but wouldn't help.
I didn't know pay attention to the development of third party ROM for Samsung Galaxy Note. So I would be much appreciated if some of your can tell me which ROM is close to Stock firmware (TW based) and with speed optimization. Graphical improvement or additional function is not my highest concern, I just want to make the phone faster and easy for my to use (same interface as stock rom).
Thank you for all your help.
El

All Roms posted in the forum are good. But nothing beats the rom " Mybest Rom" developed by dsmas.

Indeed it is. Thread closed
