While there's a thread on rooting
If I want to restore phone to factory, should I unroot first?
If j don't will I need to reroot after or will it stay rooted?

Why not insta-close these threads? Or would that make it even worse? If we assume 3-5 confused and lost souls like OP wonder around here and ask the same questions per day, that's not so bad... but maybe if they delete the threads, they will think some kind of error happened (assuming they have no forum-knowledge whatsoever), and they will re-post. That's .. 9001 threads/day. My god.

Request a thread for I9100G

Request a thread for I9100G since this phone is different from I9100.

I presume you mean forum, not thread, but either way spamming this one won't help your cause.
[Requests] Ask for new forums here.

Already been noted and passed to admin as posted in previous thread...

Like everyone else says. READ THE STICKIES then read them again!! After you understand whats going on then read the CM9 nightlys in the General Forum. There is a lot of good info in here. Just search for it!!! I did it and most other people did it too. Also you tube worked great for me!! Make sure you READ THE STICKIES and understand them before you do anything!!!!! SEARCH, SEARCH SEARCH the forums!!!!!

WOW
When people make threads like this. Make them search for what they're looking for. Pointing them towards what they want just keeps feeding these trolls. Make them search.

Just Rooted.......Finally!

After about 45 minutes of nervousness, I finally got this bad boy rooted. But now, I want it to shine. I want the latest & greatest of all root ideas from you all.
Mostly though, I installed a custom rom called JMZStock VM Shooter Odex. I'm not sure if it's all that, but if there's a better one out there, I'd sure like to have it.
So, give me your thoughs & ideas on this.
In advance........Thank You.
You're a senior member and should know better, so you get one Picard:

Try the [Discussion] Evo 3D ROM Information Thread in the General Forum.
You started this thread in the Themes and Apps Forum which has nothing to do with you getting root. Your best bet in the future is to post in the Q&A Forum unless your are sure the thread belongs somewhere else.

The only reason I posted in that section was because I was seeking themes & apps, so I thought that was the appropriate section. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Now, as for those suggestions.....
