Android > iPhone

So, I got an HTC Evo 4G for my birthday a few months ago, and it was pretty sweet. Only, not sweet enough. So, I rooted it. "What is rooting?", you may be asking yourself. For those of you who don't know, fuck you. It's great. I won't go into detal, but it lets you overclock your phone, WiFi tether when you're not supposed to, get free Android apps, and oh-so-much more. If it runs Android, you can make it do stuff it's not supposed to do.

As for what ROM to choose. The term 'rom' is essentially synonymous with 'operating system'. Some roms have different colors, fancy lockscreens, etc. Some roms let you hook up a Wii remote to your phone so you can play SNES, GBA, Genesis, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, or even Playstation games on your phone. HOW FUCKING COOL IS THAT? If you're new to rooting, I recommend Cyanogenmod. They know what's up. If you're experienced, get a Cyanogenmod nightly or build your own damn rom. If you haven't rooted your phone yet, go defenestrate yourself.

Convinced yet? Go do it. Now. If you have any question about anything regarding Android phones or rooting, ask away; I'm more than willing to help. Have an iPhone? Go fall into a knife.
