Tired of all the bloatware and running apps. Tired of have to kill those apps over and over? Root your phone (root is the superuser account in Linux, which Android runs on)! This voids all warranties, but it is worth it. Use HackIt to permanently root your HTC, then download the HTC Revolution ROM and flash your phone with it. Then install Terminal Emulator to access your phones root shell. You’ll also want Gemini App Manager (Free), hit Menu to go into Expert Mode and you can uninstall ANYTHING, even your keyboard (which you should NOT do).

cd ~
sudo apt-get install libv8-2.0.3 libv8-dev libv8-dbg libssl-dev curl
wget http://nodejs.org/dist/node-v0.4.3.tar.gz
tar zxvf node-v0.4.3.tar.gz
cd node-v0.4.3
./configure && make && make install
sudo curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sudo sh
sudo npm install socket.io

First we change to our home directory via cd ~ … even though the tilda in the code above looks like a hyphen. Then we install Google V8, SSL development files and cURL. Next we grab Node.js, configure and install it. Nearly last, we download and install npm. Finally, we tell npm to install socket.io for us.

fin.
