ok so i know what i like but im interested in your opinions.
I still have my 4G active and have not yet activated my 3D (untill permaroot w/recovery)
What are the must have apps you are missing because you traded in your 4G to get the 3D?
Setcpu... Oh and MIUI music player...

I'd have to say Wireless Tether. I'm pretty happy with the phone overall otherwise.

setcpu - only good with a custom kernel.
MIUI music player - shoulnd need root for that. just find a .apk file from xda and install. (unless you want the volume buttons to scroll tracks in which you will need another rom)

I think that is in my top 5 personally.
if i could get some dependable kind of app for wifi tether alone i would be happy.

ive found (in some cases) if you turn off mobile / wifi the adds dont run because they cant get the data they need. alot of hassle though just do something silly like play angry birds without adds . lol

Yeah there's no overclock but raising the min. CPU frequency makes this phone run like a dream.

Odd. I reinstalled. After I did perm root and recovery. Now its running well. Obviously perm root and custom recovery didn't have any effect in it. Maybe just needed to be reinstalled...either way. Way better than stock/htc player.

here are some apps i pulled from the optimus 3d rom dump. there are a couple 3d games and the awesome 3d gallery. I dont know if any of these work, since im not getting mine till Friday but it would be nice if someone can test them for me so I can get started on porting them over. hopefully I can get it done over the weekend

None of these apps are currently working and won't work till we have root and the games probably never will work as they are compiled for the powervr chipset of the optimus
Didn't install for me.

The version on the EVO 3D is YouTube 2.1.7 which enables 3D support on mobile and is newer than the YouTube 2.1.6 that is in the market.

I hoping to have something up tomorrow early to bed early to rise. Lets get it done.
Ok I have had my photon for a few months now and I am coming from a evo and a hero before that. Those phones needed to be rooted to get the best out of them. I was looking around the development section and while I know there isn't a lot of roms, I just wanted to get everyone's opinion on rooting. I really have no need for wireless tether, and while I would like to remove some of the bloat, I just don't know if its worth it on this phone.
Just throwing it out there to get some input from other photon users.
Thanks guys
For me, it was worth it just to run an adblocker. That's all I use it for.
It's a very fast and easy process.
The photon runs great as it is, but like willysp said just the ability to use adfree makes it worth it.. and of course if you like modifying little things here and there to make the device more yours
And to me was actually the easiest device I have rooted thanks to the one click root script.
There's a couple of other ways to root it but that was the first I found.
I came from Hero and EVO as well. This phone is great as it is. No need to do anything else. I have to said beside Nokia, Motorola is the best phone in term of reception.
Which method did you use? Did you flash a rom after rooting or did you just keep it stock and just use ad blocker?

I root for adfree and LED's hack mainly but also quite a few other that I can't think of. Editing the build.prop is also a huge plus gotta have my GAMELOFT fix lol
You can use the one click method which takes 5 minutes.
One good reason to root is to use SetCPU, which easily doubles your battery life by letting the CPU slow down when not in use.
So what is the process? Root and then flash a custom recovery? I just need a step by step of what to do.completely forgot about setcpu. But don't you have to have a custom kernel in order to use setcpu?

That's incorrect.
SetCPU requires more than root. Needs a custom kernel, which requires unlocking. And we don't have a fully functioning unlocker.

Slowing down your CPU (underclocking) doesn't save any battery life, undervolting however does.
And yes a custom kernel is required to undervolt and to flash one we need to unlock the bootloader.

Isn't the bootloader unlocked, but 4G is borked?
The bootloader is perfectly fine, the 4g issue is because sprints security keys for wimax look at the bootloader state. Not even the official test phones have 4g.

For some games you need to edit build.prop to change phone model, for others disable the hardware overlay in developer options. Keep in mind that no matter how great CMX is running, it is still a nightly and a lot of polish is still needed

Oh sorry I forgot to also mention chainfire, the things that guy has done with older hardware like the htc Leo is crazy. He has an app called chainfire3d that let's you load plugin drivers and if you decide to get the paid version it has his market enabler

Your probably right. Did scan it with avg, but that's not really saying a whole lot.
No push ads or anything, but all the malicious malware worth its salt is geared towards stealing financial info these days.
Idk if I'd go out of my way to modify a game for people who are too cheap to buy it from the market though. In our case we can't even buy it.
Hoping it is just an apk that was uploaded by a normal person.
