Few questions about this phone.

[Samurai187]

1) Is there a difference between the Sprint Intercept and the Virgin Mobile Intercept?

2) How do you change the UI? I currently have ADW Launcher but I want Launcher Pro installed and cant seem to find the downloaded file.

3) How do you pull open the dock on the menu? For some reason I always touch something on the screen and it magically disappears. I have to go to settings and add a shortcut for the dock in order to open/close it then delete the shortcut.

4) Can the Samsung Intercept be rooted "safely" yet?

5) How do you save all downloaded applications and pictures to the microSD card instead of the phone's memory? I'm running out of space. Is there a way to just transfer them over and root all saves to the microSD?

1. I'm pretty sure the only difference is that Sprint got the 2.2 update and VM has not. There is still debate if VM will ever get it or not.
2. I'm not smart enough to answer this. I don't even know what UI is ahahaha.
3. I'm not sure what you're talking about :/
4. I'm pretty sure it can.
5. Idunno this is a 2.2 feature and I still have 2.1

HAHA I'm so not helpful at all

2- LauncherPro - Android app on AppBrain. In the market, you have to search LauncherPro...one word. The market search still needs lots of work!
3- Is this an ADW thing? Otherwise, not a clue.
4-Yes
5-With 2.2 or with rooted 2.1 running app2sd, many apps can be moved to the card. With 2.2, look for the app in menu > settings > applications and click the "move to sd" button if it is not grayed out.

Welcome to the forum and have fun!

I'm just trying to fulfil my guide duties to the best of my abilities. Usually failing quite spectacularly. Your help around here is appreciated.

That is THE most annoying thing about ADW. If you accidentally swipe it, it vanishes. I always have to restore my desktop in ADW (I have it backed up) to get it back. No idea how to turn that cursed feature off.

You have to touch it straight on, without moving your finger. You can also enable "swipe up" to open the dock, so you can do it from the center of the screen. I have that too.
