I am running the RAM drive from the GO themes. I am seeing a lot of useless things that keep running that I don't need. EX... postguard, liveware... I don't use any of that. How do I get rid of all of that. Next question is there is a lot of useless things on the SDcard. What is a good list of things that is not needed?

Yeah that is to delete things you have downloaded, I am talking about, like I unlocked it and using it on Telus. I wanna delete everything that has to do with Rogers. There are some apps for that, so on so forth.

ncassie is right the phone needs to be rooted to remove those preloaded apps that cannot be removed through application settings.

It is not bad for your phone. By rooting, you can
A)Remove Apps that are pre-loaded on the phone which frees up memory
B)Use Custom Roms
C)Often times you can get the latest Android OS update. Especially if you are on 2.1 but want 2.3. There are people who have roms built around the latest roms that will give you up to date features.
it's not bad...Except if you have no idea what you are doing and don't follow directions you can possibly mess up your phone.
I'm 18...I'm a girl so I already have some negatives against me when it comes to technology but i managed to do it and it is fairly easy.
But by rooting you do void your warranty on the phone but there is a way to remove the root so that the carrier/manufacturer's don't know you did it in the first place.
