Congrats - and welcome to the club!

GEEZ - what took you so long!

HAHAHA

on a side note - if you have updated to the 2.3.....7 version you will need superone click in lieu of androot. : )

 

Congrats! Welcome to Root!

 

Happy flashing, if you choose

Need anything, let us know

 

It probably will unroot the phone, just ignore of course

 

Yep, you can stay stock and remove bloatware. Download Titanium Backup (highly recommend Pro), then remove the bloatware of your choice, but do tons of homework on which ones you can/cannot delete.

 

I would think all of those are ok to delete, but still not sure

The easiest way to determine what apks can be deleted is to look at what a developer leaves out of there rom. Usually they will have a list

 

All are safe to remove

 

Woah, you finally rooted What took so long?

 

If you want all that bloat removed, and a stock feel , Fresh roms have always been the ticket for that. And last I knew, which was a while ago, They had a couple useful root only apps pre loaded.


And congrats, BTW (sure took you long enough)

 

Gotta go with CM6 then

No troubles with your above mentioned wants and needs Plus it's 2.2

I'm sure someone else will suggest aosp, which is great too

Make sure you update prl first before flashing

 

I've been on CM6 since 8/10, never had any troubles with it. The differences between aosp and CM6 as far as performance, speed? Not much. CM6 has ADW as the launcher and aosp does not have a specific launcher so since you like LP, aosp might be the way to go. CM6 does have some nice performance settings in menu, settings. In CM6, you can enable/disable JIT, change your compcache settings, change your vm heap level. Aosp does not have these specific settings but vm heap is set at 32mb, JIT is disabled (you will have enable in terminal emulator). One thing I have also noticed, on initial boot up, CM6 has around 150mb of internal memory and aosp has around 100mb.

Dec has some nice kernels for these roms, CFS and BFS. Both stock kernels are good also and you can overclock the stock kernels either by setcpu or oc widget. If you plan on using apps2sd, both roms are native so no need to partition your sd card

Hopfefully there is some helpful information on the 2 roms and like I said both are great

 

Yep, you can do that with the launchers

JIT is 'just in time' compiler, Simply put, it uses the davlik cache to speed up the phone. Some people have success with it others do not. It's one of those things, you will have to play around with some settings for a day or two to see if your phone likes JIT. Enabling JIT is very simple in the CM6, just a check mark and then reboot the phone. Enabling JIT in aosp is a little more work look here xda-developers - View Single Post - [ROM][GPL][NONSENSE] aospMod v0.9.6 | AOSP 2.2.1 (Froyo) [10/31/2010] Now, if I remember, this was to disable JIT in aosp's previous release. I would assume just do the opposite to enable it. Maybe Cat would have a little more insight

VM heap is NOT voicemail, look here for information http://ryanolson.wordpress.com/2010...ory-per-vm-heap-can-effect-your-rom-cyanogen/

Youmail is fine for voicemail. Remember, there is no VM in the CM6 or aosp's rom. You can also try GV. I've had no troubles

 

Or...you can flash Sprint VVM - But you have to deal with strange texts replies - there is an easy fix for that.

Don - I flash between Cm6 and Aosp - use Aosp as my everyday rom - and Play with and tweak CM6 (Nov 2 nightly)

 

You will need Gapps! Enjoy!
Lemme know if you have questions
