i think you started on the right path to what you want, but just need some more work.
you should be able to gid rid of the unwanted or "freeze" apps when rooted, as for the yellow triangle, it does no harm and can be changed via a jig. i think there are other ways but im no expert.i just keep an eye on info and read up myself along the way.

If you just want the standard samsung phone with no vodafone bloatware then flash some firmware from here (you do not need to be rooted):
[ROM + Guide]Official i9100 KE7/KE8/KF1/KF3/KF4/KF2/KF3 download and Root Guide. - xda-developers

If you want to be rooted without the yellow triangle then follow this guide:
[29.06.2011][CF-Root v4.0] KE2/7/8, KF1/2/3/4 - su+bb+CWM4 - xda-developers

The 2nd post tells you how to get rid of the triangle without the need for a Jig.
