The Motorola Droid is the reigning king of the Android family, but it's getting a little old and you're probably looking for a way to improve your phone's performance if you own one. Why not root the dang thing and install a custom ROM on it so it'll at least be organized the way you want it to be! This video will show you how to install custom ROM's (basically phone UI's) on a rooted Motorola Droid phone, allowing you nearly limitless customization options for your awesome phone. The ROM in this video is a well-supported one called Smoked Glass.
