I have an AT&T X10 on 1.6. I rooted to remove at&t apps, add tether, swype, etc. I pretty much have it running exactly how I want, I think. Question is, should I mess with upgrading? What will I gain? Will I have to re-install all the apps? I assume I'll have to re-root to get the root apps to work?
Thanks in advance.

make a backup of your apps, upgrade to 2.1, install xrecovery and restore your files.
voila
But what is to be gained in features, etc?

Compare it to going from VHS to DVD and you'll get the idea.

use your brain little or just simply google it
2.1 is way better than the 1.6
You get HD recording for the camera. Better user interface. Better keyboard. Snappy time scape and media scape. You also get live wall papers. There are many more things which I want you to discover yourself to make it interesting.
The bottom line is to get an update. Its really worth it.

I am new to this android world, but I love it. I recently did the no PC needed root (which is working great) and the lag fix (2200 quadrant score).
I was wondering what is a good app to use to back-up my Vibrant? Also, will rooting stop me from being able to getting Froyo?
Thanks for the answers!

You can try My Back up Pro or Titanium Back up which you can find on the Market.
I'm new to the whole Android thing........ I'm not completely happy with a couple of things with my phone... I have the Samsung Vibrant from T-Mobile. The music player is good but not quite up to par in my book and was wondering if anyone knew of a different one I could use? And if anyone knew how to sync the phone with my computer or is this possible as well...... Thanks in advance!
I use MortPlayer. As for syncing, do you mean contacts, music, photos...?
Sent from my Vibrant using the XDA app.
with the syncing I'm just trying to get my calender and contacts and everything..... I guess the normal things you would sync with your computer from a windows mobile device......
It syncs your calendar and contacts to gmail. As of today I'm sure if you use hotmail you can set up hotmail as your ' corporate' mail and sync calendar and contacts
If you want to do old fashioned way and sync to outlook you can use samsung kies program

Thanks i really qppreciate the help! Do you know if there is a way to gey rid of the tmobile screen on start up and power off with out having to root or anything like that? Im not quite brave enough to atempt that yet........

I use MixZing music player. You can specify what folders you want it to use for music, has a homescreen widget, and a lockscreen widget (that actually takes over your lockscreen, i don't like that part).
Thanks I really appreciate the help from everyone........ I'm still curious about the t-mobile screens on start up and shut down and if they can be changed without rooting.....
Tmobile has the double twist app. Looks alot like itunes. Haven't really messed with it to much though to give a solid review.

Thanks so much for the last one! So far the double twist seems the most promising! I greatly appreciate the help with the music player!

First off welcome to Android. In answer to your question, no I do not know of a way to remove the bootup screen without rooting.
Also I am using Zimly player at the moment. Had it for a few days and it works quite well. Love the look and feel of the UI

those are system files, so you will need to have root...... unfortunately.
Thanks.... I was really hoping I wouldn't have to root but everything so far is leaning towards having to root!
Unfortunately, You will have to have root to change those. You can use the One Click Lag Fix in the market. This will allow you to root your phone. I have used it and it worked quite well. If anything goes wrong, You can use the same app to unroot your phone.
Thanks I really appreciate all of the help!
Root is cake on the vibrant nothing to fear. Easiest device I have ever rooted.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yes it is. I have rooted the G1, the MyTouch 3G and now the Vibrant. The Vibrant is by far the easiest to root.
I haven't tried it but I imagine the Samsung Kies would work the best for any kind of syncing, including calendar. You can download it from Samsung > http://www.samsung.com/ae/consumer/...XSG/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=support

+1 on this, the vibrant is by far the easiest phone to root, AND it is almost impossible to brick.....ALMOST.
Also once you root, you can remove all of that bloat-ware curtesy of samsung and tmobile.
That is one of the primary reasons I rooted, to remove all of the bloatware!!!!
About how much app space is taken up bloat ware

I was just wondering if upgrading to Froyo will replace the camera App that came with my Vibrant. This camera has the best options. The panoramic creator itself is worth NOT upgrading to me. I just want to know what the upgrade removes from stock Vibrant with Touchwiz. I have rooted and OCLF. Could I backup the camera App and restore it in Froyo?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I would imagine that if you backup the original camera app to your SD Card, you should be able reinstall it. Although, if the update DOES change it to a new app (which I highly doubt), you will still have the option to install the other one.. just like how you can use FXCamera from the Market as an alternative...

Samsung is likely just preparing all of their custom apps for froyo, so the camera app will likely be the same... maybe with some improvements by Samsung.
There its no camera in froyo... They took it out completely to save space... They figure you will be spending all your time playing farmville anyway...

My fiance just got the xperia x10 through ATT. There is no setting to allow her to install any apps other than market apps. I have read pages and pages of crap here on how to root which seems to be the only way to do it however the one click root apk will not install because its a non market app. WTF?
Bottom line is she just wants to be able to install non market apps right now. What is going to be the easiest way to do this? Thanks for your help. I know how much people hate repeat questions, but I cant find what I need after an hour or looking.

You can remove most of what you want, just make a back up and use common sense. As far as ROMs there're plenty of good ones, I personally like team BAMF's work.

Do you still want sense?

Here is a list of the roms. I am running Das-Bamf's Gingrebread de-sensed, stripped down version. I like it, but if you go Gingerbread, you will have to download and flash the new radio. I would suggest trying a few of the fryo Roms first, and go form there. here is a link to a thread with a list of roms.

I wouldn't remove anything, just freeze (with Titanium Backup Pro) or rename (if you don't have the Pro version).

You're pretty safe removing apps unless they have "HTC" or "Google" in the name.

Renaming them should remove them from your app drawer. Root Explorer or another app like it should make this very easy.
