Hey Jake, welcome to our AndroidForums!

I've moved your thread over to our all-things-root sub-forum for the Optimus S for you.

I'm sure the folks that are knowledgeable about rooting this device will chime-in shortly.

Cheers!

Sorry mate, I'm a XDA guy and thought I put it in the right area.

No worries, Jake! Just wanted to make sure you'd get the best views and replies. :thumbup:

Is that me you are referring to, (I'm using the same user name there as I am here). If it was me, thanks ... and you can ignore the following text, I'll post it for the advantage of any other person wanting to root the LG Optimus S

Wow! Wish I knew that a week ago

I've been able to move / delete some system apps too ... though deleting (not movable) "Sprint Installer" causes most of the phone functions to freeze up ... plugging the phone into the computer via USB made it function again, so I re-installed the "Sprint Installer" to get it back to function more properly now.

Looking into Link2SD now ...
