[Q] [NOOB] HELP ME ROOT my SK4G!!

---

Extreme Noob for Android Development (but a techie at heart).

Have LOTS of questions before "taking the plunge" into rooting, etc.

I see an early thread in this section on Rooting...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1064257

...but it clearly says you cannot UN-ROOT with this method.

Does this mean if I root, does it void the warranty? How can I un-root? Is there a different method that will allow me to unroot if needed?

I read that - it was only somewhat helpful.

Unroot does work, not sure what was going in the earlier thread, but unrooting works. If it doesn't work through superoneclick, you can always use Odin to restore your phone to its' stock state, so you can always unroot.

I have some more questions...

If I Root, is there any way I can FORCE a Phone-Memory-only app that does not have widgets to be moved to the SD card to save space?? I was SHOCKED to see how many simple apps/Games

If I Root, is it possible to REMOVE built-in default apps and replace them with Market Apps (like Calender, SMS, Phone/Dialer, Contacts) as well as to remove a lot of the Bloatware that was built-in?

to remove bloatware you have to use a file manager go into system/app and remove! i would suggest just adding .bak to the end just incase you ever needed the

and you can move most apps to sd card but some apps will not support it and if it is not supported you can't force it!
