Hey guys!

Just thought I'd show what my current setup is. Haven't done much as of right now, just have the stuff I need on my screens. Still in the process of downloading apps and widgets since flashing a new ROM. Enjoy! If you have any questions just let me know.

How did you take those

I finally got the balls to attempt to root with that hack kit that was posted over in the XDA forums. I'm not a noob per say, but the only thing I rooted was my Captivate and that was pretty easy with the Super One Click program. This was a little more difficult and had a lot more steps you had to take, but it was worth it. After I rooted I downloded an app called ShootMe. It's pretty cool. You start the app (which can run in the background as well I believe) and give the phone a good shake and it snaps a screenshot.

I posted all the info you need to root in the All About Root subforum but it hasn't been approved by the mod :(

This is what I used to root.

As an FYI to anyone that reads this, any current ROM you flash to the Inspire will have less than stellar sound. It's kind of a sacrifice you have to take until there's a fix for it. Right now, whether on a call or playing a YouTube video, there will always be a bit of static. Everything is ok when headsets are plugged in tho. I know some people would hate to lose sound quality so I thought I'd point that out.

Apparently they're supposed to make an easier way of rooting too, so hope that comes out soon cos this took a while.

Is this one of the things you got when you rooted, or does this come with the program...I'm referring to the bills due thing I see...I'm still trying to decide if I want to get an Inspire...and if that comes with the phone, without rooting...I'm definitely in...:)

Actually, that's anMoney which is available in the market without root. It's a little pricey at $9.99 but in my opinion is THE BEST money management app in the market. I don't purchase too many apps, mostly just download free ones but this was a must have for me.

That is pricey...but it's worth it I think...so when you purchase the app you don't have to open it up every time you wanna use it like the iPhone? You can set it up on the screen kinda like a widget?

That exactly right. The upcoming bills will show what's due (I haven't input any info yet) but this will show you what the widgets look like with actually info in them. The widgets to the left are really cool as well. Those are the quick transaction widgets, so all you do is hit the plus sign, and a there will be a pop up that asks for info on a specific transaction you made. So say you were at Target or something, you click the plus sign and put the merchant name, dollar amt, date, etc. Really convenient and although it is pricey, I highly recommend it.

awesome...so i'm guessing it gives you options to select a certain bank? Or does this not even deal with a bank account? Does it remind you of payments and such?

No it doesn't sync with your bank, which I personally prefer cos every app I've tried that does sync with your bank is horrible. I've tried Mint before and it would take 2-3 days for a payment/transaction to reflect on your app. This one is done 100% manually, you input everything. I guess it can be a hassle to some, but I'm putting all the info in so I feel like I can trust it more lol. And yes it syncs with your google calendar (which every Android phone has) so it can remind you of payments :)

sweet...well thank you very much. :)

And I'm sure you'll know the answer to this, I sure don't because I haven't gotten the Inspire yet...but I don't have a gmail account...I currently use yahoo and my colleges school email...will I still be able to use my yahoo account or will I have to switch to gmail?

you can use it but you will need a gmail account to activate and sync any android phone

awesome :)

I get paid next Friday...and will be going straight to Best Buy to get my Inspire...now...if only this week will go by faster...I'm so excited to get rid of this iPhone!!

Haha I was the same way as well. Couldn't wait for this phone to be released. I'm sure you'll love it! And yeah, like Andrea said, you will need a gmail account to do a lot with Android, but I'm sure you'll love gmail as well! Enjoy your Inspire!

Thanks! I actually just spent the last hour setting up a gmail account and switching all my account info. Lol

Yeah, it's really worth it to input your contacts too, so just in case you have a bad phone, or maybe wanna get another one later on you can always just sync your phone to google and all your numbers will be there. Super easy and quick.

Nice! I'm still trying to figure out how to take advantage of all 7 screens lol. I'm currently using only 3 but there's so much more room I feel like I gotta take advantage of it! Haha.
