Re: To Root or not to Root? « Reply #1 on: July 19, 2010, 04:23:46 AM » I see no reason for me to root it. Samsung announced that they will upgrade to Android 2.2... and the phone is already fantastic as it is. What would rooting it bring to me that the phone doesn't already have?

Well worth it.

I choose not to root at moment, but just 2 weeks.    I choose not to since 1. it's so far so good, enough for me. 2. maybe wait for anroid 2.2.   dont know how Samsung annouce it and how to upgrad it officially. 3. maybe I am too old to do such thing.

Don't really see any reason to root. Phone's plenty quick, memory booster handles maintenance, mybackup handles backups, slideme/and app/androidgear and a half dozen online stores handle my paid app needs. So, I really don't see any point in rooting my phone. And when 2.2 comes out, it'll just make things better. Can't complain.

Re: To Root or not to Root? « Reply #13 on: August 31, 2010, 07:11:00 PM » Both widgets' name are there. The first screen-shot is Fancy Widget, but it had been taken off the Market, recently, due to a complain by HTC as it is very similar to their Sense. There's another similar widget as this in the Market now, you can search for WF and Clock Widget. The other one is a paid version of Beautiful Widgets, which also includes those control button widgets. ________________________________ Sent from my Galaxy S using Tapatalk Best Screen Protector Jeff Jr. Member Karma: +0/-0 Offline Posts: 24 Re: To Root or not to Root? « Reply #14 on: September 04, 2010, 10:12:20 AM » Thank you Omnian.
