There is nothing more that you need to do per se. If you want to install JIT then go here.
what I meant was whats next for me? What do I do? What do I do with superuser and busybox? where and how do I get apps and install them? Sorry to bombard you guys with questions, but I'm sure by now you know that i'm extremely new to all these. Please help me learn! Thanks!
Install jit. Remove bloatware. Apply themes. Read forums for answers.
There its lots you can do.

Oh and you don't really do much with superuser and busybox. But they are needed so leave them alone.

Go to Market for apps, get some basic like Titanium Backup and Restore, APN backup and restore. Do a backup, include system settings. Just in case.
There are several threads on JIT, this is one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829660
Try just the JIT piece before trying optimization.
Read read read, then read some more, and don't be scared to play about with your phone! I'm all for helping people out, but what you want to know is quite basic stuff that you should be finding out by exploring your phone, and you should really have found out "what next" before actually rooting, and HERE is a good place to start.

This is a great post. Particularly the bold part. The majority of phones functionality that I know of, I've learnt from sitting down and playing with it. Most of the questions on this site can be figured out by just looking through all menus, screen etc.
Not having a go at you, but I don't really understand the "I've rooted my phone, now what?" type posts. Why root if you don't know what it does? Especially given that this forum is all about development rather than "make my phone look cool".
As XperiaX10iUser said, it helps to read as much as you can to get a basic grasp on things. Not trying to deter you from asking questions! Just helps to know what you're actually asking when you do.
Maybe you could start to read few of FAQs from the link of my signature?
Thanks everyone! I will do some research and play with my phone more. One of the reasons why I'm kind of scared to really play with my phone is because i'm afraid I might "brick" it =/ what are some of the things a Noob should avoid doing so he doesn't brick his device?

Props to SE, the X10 is pretty unbrickable. I haven't come across anyone who wasn't able to recover their phone. It can be a pain in the ass but do-able. If you do start playing with modding your phone, chances are you will get the yellow exclamation mark of doom at some point, but a little patience and some more reading and you'll be right! Chances are someone else has had the same issue too, so the search tool can be your friend.
The only tip I really have is don't "play" with it late at night when you know you're going to need your phone the next day!
I"m trying to use superoneclick that came with the JIT v2 files, however, I'm having looping problem with shellroot, and i have spend like an hour re-doing it, but it is still looping. Is it because I rooted using z4root? should I re-root it with superoneclick? I tried the "allow non-market apps" and it works fine. It only loops when I try to shell root. I have not tried the rooting option in superoneclick yet..... my debug is checked, and I press "charge phone" when the option pop up, but superoneclick is just killing and starting ADB server. Please help!!
also, I did some search for the multi touch option, but I couldnt find it. How do I enable ( or get) the multi touch option that was otherwise unavailable to un-rooted x10? Thanks for all the helps!

Well, It's 2.1 currently. Also look at my "R4A024", I searched that but theres others which appears.

I'm trying to help you help yourself. A thread full of posters reporting no issues should be enough to show you it's a decent and safe app. The worst that will happen is you'll have to reflash, so make sure you're backup just in case, but how many users in that thread have claimed they've had to.

You're the type of person who shouldn't be rooting their phone in the first place... You didn't search very hard at all...
And no, rooting does not give you "free" apps. It suddenly doesn't make the Market free, or unlock your phone. Rooting gives applications access to the operating system. e.g. tether, Titanium Backup, etc.
Use Titanium Backup to save all your apps & data.
Ah thanks, the main stuff is more controll after rooting + themes.

No, with flashtool you won`t need PCC or SEUS for anything (assuming you have already used at least once. usb drivers).

I really not sure but...you have a problem, right? So don`t miss to much
guys i bow in humble awe, flasher worked like a charm back to 2.1-1 dualtouch, cause i made that ftf before and saved it. i for some reason thought i needed to use seus or pc companion to go into flash every time. however seriously can someone else test the AT&T 1.6 rom on olafs original operator post. after flash it messed my fone up. caused the time and media scapes to fc and several other problems. im 95% sure it wasnt my error. ive been flashing no problems for a few weeks, rooted xRecovery and jit enabled. i love the idea of the post he has and its intentions are noble.

yes i just did a factory reset. and now the keyboard is working correctly. now i want to root and install a different rom. i am on 2.2 att. my build number is 14844, baseband version is gausb1a134031-us. kernal is 2.6.32.p-perf. how should i go about rooting it?
root with superoneclick v1.7 its very easy there are guides here on xda on how to do anything you want to your streak! search, search, search the answers are here. remember to search it is all on xda! if you get stuck just ask many people here are very nice and know the answers
Hi, I will be getting this phone today (i9100 unlocked) and have a couple of questions on how to proceed onwards. Any help would be greatly appreciated
1. What is the best firmware and rooted kernel for me to go on?
I want the absolute simpilest way to root my phone (total beginner) and I don't know what firmware I will have when I receive it, I also don't know if I should stay on a gingerbread firmware or go to ics? I also don't care if it is official or custom as long as I'm not sacraficing stability. If possible I would like a rom that is good for battery life. I also want to root my phone in the safest way. There are so many tutorials I didn't know where to start
2. What are some of the essential rooted apps and how do you install them? Through superuser or market?
3. What are the risks involved with a standard flashing/root because I'm getting my phone second hand I don't have warranty.
Thanks for all your help!
Edit: I just say a sticky saying not to ask what roms are the best so I'm sorry if I broke a rule. I just literally have no idea where to start, I've never even used android before. I've found so many methods of rooting and roms but most seem outdated. I would just like someone to point me in the right direction of the up to date way. Sorry if I'm really not supposed to ask!

Superuser is not used to install apps, you would either download them from the market or manually install the .apks

Rooting your phone would void the warranty anyway and bricking is probably your biggest risk.

I don't know about anyone else, but I stopped reading after this part. I didn't even get to the problem. Remember, you messed up your phone. You need others to assist you. Complaining that other people aren't helping you fix your mistake fast enough isn't going to encourage many people to want to try harder to help you.
Edit: I peaked at teh rest of your post. I think it's a fairly simple fix. But I'm not going to respond to your demanding post that is so overtly negative about this community that has helped so many.
If you reask the question nicely I'll be more than happy to try and assist you.

Well I didn't read your post as thoroughly as I should have before saying I thought I had the correct answer.
I missed where you said you were using an LG Doubleplay. This forum is for the HTC Sensation. These are VERY different devices. What would work for the Sensation may not work for an LG device. I don't want to give you bad information.
You are much better off asking your question in the Doubleplay forums where users familiar with the device will be able to assist you.
there isnt a forum for the double play thanks anyways

Firstly if you try to flash a wrong rom...you risk bricking...specially without backup.. find sensation roms by googling htcsensationroms
The rom you have mentioned is NOT a sensation rom
Dont open the rom you downloaded, connect the phone to ur pc and copy the rom to sd card
Also you need to speciify if you are S-On or S-Off.....
Provide more info abt ur situation (android version, recovery, S-On/Off) ...ill try to help
AND there are some really good devs on these fora...professionals(ask Skipjacks nicely, you should have your problem solved)....but you are going to have to ask NICELY....I'm preety much a noob but can handle rooting a etc
OK...just refreshed this thread...guess youre in the wrong place...look for LG forums...best of luck
sorry, im using the lg double play v 2,3,4 and im hopeless right now.
can anyone help?
No. You are asking this in the wrong place. You are going to get bad advice here that will likely break your phone even worse. Find an lg forum.
And do not use odin to update an lg phone!
