Android Market Apps/Games

Root, root, root your phone - It's the only way

 

I want to root my thunderbolt. I'm still kinda new to the smartphone world and not tech savy enough yet to feel comfortable doing it without worrying about bricking it.

After reading this thread I bought Leigh's Truck Stops just for the weight station feature. It would be pretty handy if it were updated more often and showed history by time of day instead of day of the week. Oh well, I'll be doing my part to keep it current.

Other apps -

Dictionary
Google Earth - handy to see what you're getting into
Fling - fun little mind game
HeyTell - the middle man between texting and actually calling someone
IMDB
Kelly's Blue Book
Text from last night
Truth or Dare
and of course Drinks Master for those days off

BTW, gingerbread is available for thunderbolt if rooted. Still in beta, but mostly stable.

CT,
I bought an HTC TB last month. My phones not rooted yet and I went to the xda forum and watched a video on dowloading files but its seems intimidating because it warns you on every step about bricking your phone. Whats gingerbread? Maybe I can find someone local to help me with the root procedures.

I have purchased a few apps from the market - cannonscan to snap a picture of paperwork, CDL, TWIC or whatever then attach it as a pdf to an email. TIKL, Smart Alarm, Weatherbug,POker,Blackjack,Solitaire,. MY DAT truckstop has a great app thats free for finding walmarts, rest areas,fuelstops,catscale or get a load if your an OO. Springpad is another great app for time mgmt.The rest of my trucking apps are GTHOS,DOT lookup, Fuelbook,Loves, Trapster, Drivers Journal and Michelin Truck tire locator.Urban Spoon is a restraunt guide, Yelp is another one finds local business like the google maps locate feature.Scanner radio is cool if you want to listen to FD,PD, EMS. Thats about it. Happy Androiding everyone.

 

Gingerbread is the latest android OS. Stay away from it for the thunderbolt for now. The leaked radio might have a problem. The auto root is safe, just read the instructions carefully before and after.

CT,
That androot file contained a virus according to microsoft security when i tried to look at it on my laptop. trojan unix rootkit virus. Is this because i tried to look at the file on my laptop? Or is it a virus? Im not a computerologist, so alot of this stuff is over my head. What i was attempting to do was download the file onto my desktop, then was going to install on my phone with the usb/phone cable.

 

Any root program is going to be viewed as a virus because of what it does. It is taking control of your phone and making modifications. If this was happening and you did not understand that it was doing this then it would be a virus.

 

If this happens just turn off your anti virus software and it will download it ut to root your phone I suggest you use the simple 1 click root with clockwork mod and recovery found over at xda-developers

 

Thanks Nakumay, I will go visit xda again and give that a try. Hey I see your from the Choo Choo. You ever bobtail over to Beas on Dodds rd off hwy 27? Awesome food, family style lazy susan in the middle of table and they just keep bringing the home cooked goodness.
