1) That is completely wrong. Rooting will not decrease your battery life. It will happen if you over clock your phone. But the added performance will be worth it.
2) If you follow instructions properly, nothing will happen. If you face a problem, ask us. We will try to help.
I would suggest reading a lot about what rooting is and what rooting does before you decide to root.
And remember, rooting your phone will not make any difference. It is what you do 'after' rooting that makes the difference. Rooting is just getting permission to make changes.

Oh my god dude. Why do people take a forum for the google search bar?
Take this.
It doesnt get more detailed than that.
Now tell me was it that hard to use common sense and look at one of the 17(million) guides on how to do that?
I got root without problem....

As Coburn64 said: There is a howto about getting root on the tattoo. But I would say: If you don't know what root is, you don't want to do it AT THE MOMENT. In general root will make us able to put custom roms on the tattoo (hopefully) and will enable us to use some programs that otherwise wouldn't run (for example sharing tattoos internetconnection over WLAN with a Laptop) - but not at this time. At the moment getting root doesn't bring anything to the normal user and getting root is not easy at the moment!

ok cool thanks think ill wait then til its easier and brings me better things, sounds interesting though =] any ideas when it will be closer to completetion

Hi this is my first post. Im really sorry if Im posting this again and if I am just tell me to delete it and point me to the correct one.
So i want to install the Cyanogen mod 7.1 that was released yesterday onto my HTC incredible s. however since i have only just had it around a month i know very little about android rooting and how to do it.
My question is what guide should i use? is this the cyanogen mod good. i cna tpost it here it wouldnt let me.
if so i know doing so will void my warrenty and so is it like jailbreaking where all you have to do is restore to stock firmware?
Update: installed using this http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Incredible_S:_Full_Update_Guide
worked like a charm
thank you very much.

welcome to the forum. just remember, this forum is chock full of great info. when you have a question, more often then not your question has already been asked. always use the search button first to reduce clutter
this phone is one of the easiest phones to root. just head here. voila. that's it.
yes, cm7 is THAT good. definitely worth it. fast and prob the best battery life out of all the roms.
you can always get the phone back to it's original state for warranty purposes. always a good idea to do a backup immediately after you root.
have fun.
ok thank you very much. Does the guide on the CyanogenMod website include how to restore to stock if you have to send your phone in?

i don't think so. that info is, however, readily available in this forum. just do a search
come to think of it, i think all you have to do is revert to the stock rom that you just backed up after rooting. someone please correct me if i'm wrong.
Does anyone also know if the root method for the HTC incredible S is temp? Does that mean you cant turn off your device? I'm confused.

no, it's not temporary. it will stay rooted until you unroot and return the device to stock/original state. why don't you try it out? it will be a good way to familiarize yourself with rooting, backing up, and restoring.
Hearing of the release of CM7 got me finally around of rooting my phone. This forum offers great tutorials and I managed to root is fairly easily. After rooting I was also asked wheter I wanted to flash CWM and I answered yes. Everything went OK and I was able to try CM7 after 30 minutes or so. The most time consuming operation was creating backup with CWM recovery.
But my opinion about CM7 isn't good. While I like the the effects and other neat customisation possibilities 3 thing turn me off.
First, I really love HTC's phone or dialler application which helps me find contacts by entering their number or trying to type their names. This is the single most useful thing invented on a telephone. As CM7 doesn't support that (only enterning numbers as far as I know) I will not use it.
Second, I wasn't able to connect to Exchange server for some reason
Third, Android Market shut itself down after 10 seconds and repeatedly kept doing that.

PS. I would have liked to post this info to developers forums, but as I don't have rights, I couldn't.

The markets fixed by going in to language settings and selecting English again.
Exchange worked fine for me...
Download another dialer application..
I'd choose double the speed, battery life and ram any day over sense
lets not start cm7 vs sense. this thread will never end really, it comes down to individual preference and that's not something we can argue.
cm7 isn't prefect but it's close, imo.
Please recommend a dialer app and I will give it a try Dialer One maybe?
Thanks for the market tip.

sounds good. and there are guides in the dev forum if you need some assurance.
Cannot download anything from the Market for unknown reason. The download bar just scrolls endlessly.
E: Restart helped. Everything seems to be working just fine. Will give an estimate of battery usage in a few days time. And will test out Skype as well.
I feel as though the guides here need to be updated current one is from June. Not complaining just sayin is all.

If this post is for real than you should start by reading through each of the guides on this forum and the incredible s dev forum after that use the search function to find answers to any questions you might have. Than after all else fails return here to post a legitimate question. After you find out what an h-boot is and you realize its 1.16.0000 stop and decide weather or not you really want to continue down this path because at the end of it the loss of your warranty.
Happy reading.

The problem is, that more than likely hundreds of people have had this same issue, and most have found the solution without having to post a new thread. He's saying, you need to do some real legwork instead of just asking.

Just so you know - my phone is hboot 1.16.0000 (and no I will not repeat myself how to do it) and I have cyanogenmod7.
It's good, but now my warranty is voided. I cannot revert to stock because the HBOOT 1.16.0000 was an OTA update, therefore it cannot be downloaded at this stage, so I have to stick with custom roms.
My charger port is now stuffed after a month of having it (STUPID design having it on the side,) and after speaking to htc because my phone is software modded it is automatically void. even though it has nothing to do with the issue. So now my only other choice is a 3rd party company to fix it or pay the premium for HTC to fix it, because it's not under warranty.
Your choice.
Expect the unexpected
If you can get your charging port to work you can run an RUU flash a HBOOT downgraded and then rerun the ruu on your phone. You will become S-On again.

Now, I waited a lot, holding myselft from replying to such a question in order of not being taken for a "noob killer".
The fact is that your question is far more dumb from being a noob question and people here have all the rights of feeling irritated seeing how much lazy one can be.
You ask me why?
Simply explained. I am at work now, at the coffe machines, smoking a cigarette. I have 15 minutes pause, and in those 15 minutes, look how many links I found related to rooting our phone:
General http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2098059
JB Root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180688
JB Root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230934
ICS Root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818502
General root concepts http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
And last, but first in order of importance, the link to our Question and answers section, where the very first answer is about rooting a p880
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147879
I won't even spell a word about "Putting" anything on the phone. If you need advise on that, then it would probably be better if you don't mess with rooting.
Hi guys,
I see there are some cool stuff on this forum. I've read some tutos about how flashing, unlocking and installing the cfw... Therefore I have no clue how to do it. I did not find any videos on youtube too to do the things step by step on my phone. Could someone provide me step by step things to do to reinstall a cfw on my phone please? I know that it's asking too much maybe, but I really would love to learn doing it. Mt battery is used by the ICS so quickly and there so many useless apps in the phone that I can not erase. Thank you very much.
