[HLUG] Fwd: [lugmaster] FW: Free Your Android installation parties

[Tim Spivey]

Hello

Installing Cyanogen ROM (or any custom ROM) involves rooting 'phones.
Although fairly safe this is not 100% and could possilby brick (ruin beyond
repair) phones.  I don't think we could do this to Joe Public.  Just a
thought.
