Rooting voids the warranty but if you unroot and send it back to them they will never know and will have no way of telling. :D

I'm using the home replacement ADW Launcher thats in the Market for free, search it up its great!

There are no ROMs available yet so im waiting on those. The wallpaper is called NexusMod Live Wallpaper which is in the market for free too.

Did the root void your warranty?

another words did yo have to unlock it? and what mod are you using?

I'm not really sure I completely understand you're question, but-

1. Yes rooting voids his/your warranty. But you can always un-root, so that really isn't much of a concern.

2. By unlocking do you mean "unlock the potential of the device" or "unlock so I can use on a different carrier"? If you mean the first one, then yes you need to have "unlocked", aka rooted, your device to use that specific app.

3. As far as I am aware, there are currently no mods/roms out yet for any of the Galaxy phones, but considering it is a world phone, I figure it is only a matter of time.

EDIT: Looks like I was just a little too late! ;)

Launcher pro beta is the launcher (app) that does it. I use it and I think adw launcher may change the screen orientation as well.:D

Confirmed. ADW also does this.


What else does that app do? I've heard it mentioned before... People saying they were using it to get rid of the Iphone looking appearance?

It's like a home replacement app. Gives you more customization like adding home screens, default screen, etc.

How do they change the screens appearance to make it look less Iphone-ish? I'd rather not install it just to see LOL :)

Well that all depends on which one you use. Basically some you can add more screens, some changes the transition of when you are swiping the phone to change home screen. You would still have Touchwiz regardless but if you make your home UI default you won't have to mess with it. Some have built in widgets... change the app drawer if you want...Its generally full customization you can do with it.
