I havent updated my phone yet and so I havent done rooting yet..

stock apps I've deleted are roadsync & all the 4games
rest of the applications are quite useful and i would not advise you to delete any application atleast any google application..

anyways if you use titanium backup u can always get them back

and if worse you havent backed up

you can connect your phone to pc and use pc companion to repair your phone as simple as that

Alright, do let me know once you updated to 2.1 and let me know how the thing work kay ?

And also do you encounter any WiFi problem ? Like disconnecting it own or so.

 

[suhel28]

root doesn't work.. ah..

 

[kiz1983]

Yup, root doesnt work on 2.1

 

[gwsa]

So, have to wait for newer version only can root?

Anyway, how's the performance in every aspect after updated to 2.1?

You may download No Lock from market. Just 1 press and you're good to go. As for the another one I'm not so sure cause I havent got my X8 yet

You don't mention what location you are in and what carrier. The market is not available in certain locations but why you should have it and it then dissappear I don't know.

2.1 would be my choice, for one simple reason. the improved WEB BROWSER tis really cool
