Let the lurking commence!

I'm about to root and unlock my Samsung i897.

I recently upgraded to GB and all of the sudden performance sucked arse. Just had ATT flash it back to stock and upgrade it for me. I figure while it is clean of apps now, this is a great time to do a little tinkering under the hood.

Any recommendation for root-jailbreak software?

Any recommendation towards putting ICS on it?

I did upgrade and put in an 8gb card with the hopes of keeping the apps on the card and not on the main memory. The idea is that the main memory is for OS and running apps. Good idea?

Welcome to the Android Forms!

As one I am sure will let you know, there is a whole section of the form devoted to rooting AT&T phone.

Please check it out and feel free to ask anything you like.

As I have found, the group here is very friendly, and is willing to help any way they can.

Enjoy!

Holy cow! I've been reading on here and a few other forums. My head is full - and I have no idea what I'm looking at.

Well - I followed the instructions - Now I can't see the SIM card.

OOPS! Just realized I was asking questions where I ought not. Apologies.
