I believe I've just rooted my phone, but haven't put a custom ROM on yet.

I've got a few questions about it:

1.) What Sprint apps can be removed without affecting other things? (such as weather widget)

2.) Is there a way to eliminate some of the boot screens (especially the Sprint one) without putting a custom ROM on?

3.) Will root alone, and the removal of those worthless apps speed up my phone a bit? (especially the occasional lag in bringing the notification screen down)

4.) Can these changes be undone one by one rather than doing a complete recovery?

Thanks in advance for your help.

 

I've looked at this for quite some time. These questions are more clarifications from a first person perspective, in order to make up my mind on exactly what I want to do with it. There's no reason to be an ass about it.

 

and that is the reason I asked, to get a first hand perspective from people who actually did it, and could put it in more of a layman's terms. I find myself pretty "techy", but it doesn't mean I know the terms they use. I'm certainly not trying to get anyone to do it for me.

 

Thanks for that, I had already found it earlier though

Even decided to put the Fresh ROM on it to see what the hype was all about...guess I don't notice much difference, but I haven't exactly pushed it to perform much yet. I do notice that I seem to no longer be able to roam (even after updating profile and PRL)...weird
