You guys are the greatest and most knowledgeable of all the forums I read..I am going to root my phone this weekend...I am a noob, super noob if you will. I have been having issues with tmo 3g coverage. But after reading this forum, I am going to go for it...from what I can tell..just take your time and read, read 1st...couple questions for you rooting geniuses....will I be able to access the market with ease as I do now and can you forsee Google unleashing an update that would be better than cyan...probably not but dont bash me too hard for asking a dumb question.

Yes you can access Google market as normal with the mod. I never had any problems navigating through. As far as Google unleashing a better update against Cyanogen, most of the updates google released are just fixes from previous ones if not some new stuff are added. I always keep in mind that moders like Cyanogen have something better than OS roms as long as its not in Beta stage.

they are just different ROMs. It's all about personal preference. CyanogenMod is basically stock but more speed, and more options. Modacos is the Desire ROM on the Nexus. You wont be able to run both at the same time you would have to reboot into recovery and flash the other ROM. If you are going to be switching ROMS often I suggest getting Quick Boot from the Market, just lets you get into Recovery a little bit faster. Hope i answered your questions.

so, whats the Bluetooth issue with rooting?
I mean the Bluetooth in its current stock form has issues, i can't stream audio without there being skips and such which Google is supposed to be aware of and coming out with a fix at the next big update?

I just rooted my phone and OMG did it take me forever...I am such a noob. I started at 10:09 with a full battery...there are a lot of things you have to be aware of..small things that will cost you hours of time. Anyway I am tired no, so after work tomorrow I will start playing with all the cool features. I got a lot of info from searching this forum..actually had the best answers and sure enough like Neonmonster, Ralphie speaks and some others said..."every problem I ran into, I searched and found it in one thread or another" thanks again everybody...now I can enjoy more features even if I am still on the EDGE network with Tmo.LOLOLOL
