Okay Boys............ She fixed it in record time. Restored my back up from this afternoon and even tried Titanium and got an older copy of my contacts and got all my pictures and data with it. Now we're talking. 30 minutes spent on this learning lesson. Dumped everything again except the three Google Talk apps/programs/files or what ever they were. Market is working now too. So I have 51 apps in the app drawer. The phone boots cleanly without any force closes and current internal memory with everything cleaned out is 81.8mb. I'm satisfied.

As JB said........ YAY for Nandroid............

Thanks again gentlemen. Now I think I can go to bed..........

So appreciate all your help and comments.............

Let us know how everything goes and yes Gtalk is important:p

Glad everything running good right now and good luck:D:D
 
One more thing I would say as a learning curve, next time when you root, I would leave the phone stock with root access and not delete anything and install the apps you want, then back that up with all your apps and data, this way if you have an issue you have a phone, stock rooted, and you are sure you are not missing anything, that is number one, also keep in mind this rooted stock is simply a back up for you to fall back on and flash your Roms or what else you want to do, so don't get so trigger happy with your first back up, this may have been what got you in the position you were originally, thus the reason I made you take the steps you did as I wanted to make sure that your phone was not missing any parts that needed to run properly. Making your flashing a none issue, JMO always remember when in doubt do without and ask, better safe that sorry, LOL
FYI today when I have a chance I will try to find that post that mentions which programs are important to leave when deleting bloatware stuff :cool:

Great idea about setting up the stock Rom and then backing it up before I start to delete stuff. But actually my phone is working perfect so far. No issues what so ever. I did another Nandroid this morning and then installed the XDA "HTC_IME MOD" keyboard with the smileys. That was the keyboard that I had with DC's rom and I got used to it. I got it working perfectly with the help of a gentleman on XDA. So I keep saying I'm done but I'm done. I will use this phone for a week or so and then go after a custom rom or two..............

Now I'm having fun.............

Enjoy your baby again, and you may want to post what you did to get the keyboard to work here for others to have and see incase they want to try it, maybe add Shootme in you apps and take some screen shots of your screen and also take a screen shot of your keyboard for other to see, enjoy again and it was a pleasure, take care !!

I just posted my experiences with the keyboard to the Root Forum. I'm working on getting the screen shots too but I will be happy of course to pass along my positive experiences. One other quick thing, I did pretty well on the elimination of the bloatware. I got in trouble with the Google Talk and I actually should have known that as I was using Titanium Back up to uninstall the apps and it was showing me I had backed those exact files/programs up in the preceding month which means I should have known better. The other thing I should have done was do a Titanium before I dumped them and I could have just put them back. The option existed I just didn't have the backup. Live and learn. But I am definitely up to speed on this stuff now

Thanks again for your help..............

K post your screen shots in this thread so they can follow your process

As Don said you will need to restore your Nandroid back up. That is what I had to do. I back up at every stage of this game just so I have a fall back and I hope you do too..........

Good luck.......

Just thought I would give you guys an update on how my phone is doing. I have had it rooted for a week now and I'm still running the .6 version of the Sprint stock 2.1 rom. All I can say is this phone is doing everything now that I want it to do and doing it trouble free. I'm still finding little factory tweaks and of course I installed the new XDA keyboard with the smileys. But a couple of real positive things are my Bluetooth works better then it ever has. The phone works better then ever and my battery life is unbelievably better. I'm just making a Nandroid right now as it's working so well. at least for now this new Stock Rom is where I'm going to stay for a while..........

Thanks again for all your continued help............

Enjoy and happy calling, LOL :D
