HELP PLEASE!!!! I AM SUPER CONFUSED!!!!!!!!!!!
i am super paranoid to root my samsung captivate. seriously. plus, i have searched this forum, and everyone has a DIFFERENT spin and A DIFFERENT opinion.
concerns:
1. i actually like the daily briefing - i just use it for weather and calendar.
2. the power on and off sounds are fine with me.
i do not need or want to sideload anything right now, but may in the future.
3. i like my google navigation, the app with the blue star trek icon.
4. i do hate all the other at&t crap, and will be happy to remove it, BUT PREFER TO REMOVE WHAT I HATE MYSELF.
5. if i root this way, do i get to pick and choose what is removed, or is it 100% automatic and NOT in my control? i prefer to select what i want removed.
6. i have an sd card. i have read similar posts elsewhere you need to remove and then re-install the sd card. what is correct??
7. again, i am super paranoid. i just would like super simple steps, as i am afraid of ruining my phone. i am not an idiot; i just want a simple way to do it.... AND ON TOP OF THAT, THERE ARE A ZILLION SUPER LONG POSTS IN THIS FORUM, THEN TO CONFUSE ME, THE ORIGINAL POSTER SAYS, OH, DO THIS INSTEAD, THIS IS EASIER. VERY CONFUSING!!!
8. i suppose it will void my at&t handset insurance, is this correct?
9. is it easy to unroot?
10. i am not a developer; i have a usb cable. i DO NOT WANT TO BECOME A COMPUTER PROGRAMMER OR A DEVELOPER. i am super scared. maybe i should be scared, looking at a zillions methods here. there is no clarity or concise method, and if there is, the original post says, "oh, sorry, do it this way now".
11. waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
12. some say use a usb cable, some say email the file to yourself.
13. MY GOAL is merely to remove the at&t crap, except a few at&t apps i like. i do not feel like adding a bunch of new things to replace some of the few at&t apps i do like; therefore, i would like control of what i delete, even though i want to delete probably 90% of the at&t bloatware.
many, many thanks!!!!!!!
