    Default rooting G1 made easy


    I posted this at another thread so Im not sure if I would get any replies...so I'm posting it here again...if this isnt allowed please tell me and I won't do it again...excuse the noob...
    ok...first time posting here in the community and I must say, out of all the tutorials that I've seen on how to root the G1 this http://androidcommunity.com/forums/showthread.php?p=137477#post137477 is the easiest....I currently have the newest update and that's big for somebody like me who is not tech savvy at all....so I just want to thank the author of this post big time!
    however, now I have a question...like I said, I'm not tech savvy at all...but I think I can follow instructions pretty well, but for the life of me I cant figure out how to install and run apps from the sd card...the post at XDA was just a little too techie for me to follow, too many terms like "NANDROID", "partitions", and the instructions themselves...(adb pull /system/etc/mountd.conf /*somewhere you may want to back it up*)...where can I back up?
    anyway, if anybody can simplify this or at least explain it, I would be eternally grateful and I'm sure so will everybody else who's just learning about this wonderful system...
    again, thanks...

    Welcome to the community - Thanks for adding useful content.

    Most people who want to skim the actives tend to hit "discussion forums" and then look at the right column for posts recently updated. To get a post some attention that you feel needs it for some good reason, simply make an edit or useful addition to the post to have to show up in that column and get some needed attention.
