Root Froyo thoughts

Hey mods...i think posts 53, 54 and 57 should be pulled...

I would wait if I were you. Just be patient. I won't be long. 2.2.1 is OK, but the custom ROMS based of 2.1 were way better. The most annoying thing is all the ads popping up everywhere and not having the ability to delete "Myspace" and all the other crap apps that they shove down your throat.

I used root explorer, hit the button at the top to switch it to r/w (in system/app), moved the ones I didn't want to data/app, rebooted, then went to settings/applications/manage applications, and uninstalled them. I made a backup first with everything still there, but after this, I wiped cache and dalvik just to be safe and rebooted. None of them came back for me.

You have to be rooted for that though.
