Switched back to Thunderbolt.

[RVC]

Well I got my Rezound on the launch day. Loaded all my apps, SD card, accounts, etc. I really love the phone its smooth and fast and data connectivity is great and the screen is so crisp. But I found that I was missing my rooted phone so I broke out the old TB and put the Rezound back in its box. When S-Off is obtained for the Rezound I will switch back...I guess I am addicted to having g a rooted phone. Anyone else do this?

I un-rooted (de-rooted?) my TBolt a couple of months ago. To me, having a rooted phone was getting to be more and more trouble with less and less benefit. Any update that comes along I would have to wait until a dev had the time to come up with a way for me to install without losing root...

So no, I didn't switch back to my TBolt just because the Rezound isn't rooted yet, I have no intention of rooting this phone.

Why do you care so much if the phone is rooted or not?

THIS. I had a rooted D1 for over a year and a half and I will probably never root again. Rooting is so overratted (to me). These modern phones are just fine out of the box for my needs.

Because I hate bloatware. This phone could be so much better without all that bloat.

I'm with you, I have almost 60 bloat items (that number still shocks me) frozen on my Bionic. It made the phone faster and I got better battery as a result. I don't see why this wouldn't be the case for any phone.

Its crazy the amount of bloat on these phones. It man s such a huge difference when it is not there. I guess that is one of the best things about the Galaxy Nexus.

I have faith Revolutionary (or someone) will get that permanent s-off sooner than later... the phone is already getting major props among the devs.

Now I know if you temp root and delete the apps they will re download. What happens if you temp root and freeze them with Rom Toolbox or TB?

We shall see. I'd bet there is a TON of crap pre-installed on there.

I did realize today that the battery life on this thing sucks ass. When I look at power usage though, almost 80% was from the screen, so I know the bloat isn't killing it. Though when I look at the memory number in use, I wish I could permanently freeze some of that stuff. Thats one thing I hated even on my D1, is that some apps kept re-starting even after you go into settings and force close. grrrrrr

My battery life has been pretty good with gps and music going alot of the time.
