Hey , I've got a Samsung Galaxy Portal (Spica) and if you have it, you will know its shit.
so i was thinking of rooting it. but not sure if i should or weather to trust the youtube tuts.
Benifits:
More free Phone memory (Get rid of bloatware)
Move Apps to SD card
Special Apps Froyos 3D Gallery
WiFi Tethering
Single click CacheCleaner
Enhanced Phone.apk
Titanium Backup for backing up all apps and settings

Multitouch!
Visual Delight Themes
Boot Animations
More accurate battery indicator

Various Bug fixes and optimizations

Only downside is that it voids the warranty, and that it may "brick" my phone.

so, should i try it? and does anyone know any tutorials that actually work for this phone? i dont want to risk it if i dont know. :/

Dan

omfg dude i have the same phone i will help you!

i will post video proof if i can find another camera

i did it and if your gunna do rageagainstthecage's cyanogen (mod)

its the best ROM you can get, with no downsides exept black and white camera interface (still takes in colour)


and bluetooth has to be shown at 15 second intervals,

VERY WORTH

and i can get you TONNES of apps for free!
