[QUOTE="bettingpython, post: 1290901, member: 4307"] The root was out for the captivate before it was even available for sale... bought mine the day it went on sale took it home rooted it, installed clockwork mod rom manager backed up my stock rotted rom image, installed titanium backup, backed up all my apps and settings then uninstalled all the AT&T bloatware useing Titanium backups uninstall utility. The root is as simple as copying an update.zip package to the root of your internal SD card, reboot the phone while holding down both the volume keys then selecting reinstall packages. XDA developers forum is the place to search for all things android. I am awaiting cyanogenmods to come out with their 6.1 rom for samsungs so I can load a nice non branded FroYo for my phone now. FYI you don't have to use AT&T's telenav pay app even if you don't remove it, google navigation is free and available as part of the google apps package available from the android market. I have also changed my settings.db database to allow installation of non market apps. Another one of my complaints was the touchwiz launcher does not allow the desktop or google search to rotate to landscape, I use ADW launcer as my desktop launcher now everything rotates like I want it too now. Any of the other carrier branded phones will need the initial root, backup and uninstall of bloatware if you want to get rid of their carrier specific apps. [/QUOTE]
