ad-free slows your phone down more than anything out there.

Also...you are totally clueless

anyone who hasn't bricked a Vibrant has never really done anything to a Vibrant.

The only thing that is nice is titanium backup...which I am not sure at why it needs root access.

Root access is needed to access /data/app/ folders to backup and restore them.

I'm pretty well done with modding and flashing too. I think my phone will just stay exactly as it is till the Holidays and see what's out, then I will sell my Vibrant and either get a new phone, or move to a new carrier.

Yes, you do. A full custom rom is required if you want to completely get rid of it, saving the internal storage space.

Saving it for what?

I can't even express how happy I am that I switched from Tmo.

I'm on Verizon now using a Droid X. Everything works perfectly fine out of the box. No hacking new radios just to get a chance at GPS. Tmo can DIAF as far as I'm concerned.

Heh, you left Tmo because of price complaints and ended up at the most expensive, gold-plated carrier?

Let's face it, you're restless. The itch will come back -- maybe for LTE, maybe in some other way. You're "done rooting" for as long as you keep the Droid X and its limited customization, sure.

1. go to xda-developers
2. find your phone's forum, click on themes and apps
3. find and download a theme you like.
4. copy the zip to your phone
5. boot into recovery, install from zip, select file, find the file you downloaded and apply it

Thanks. I will give that a try.

Other than some system Kernel tweaks, the Droid X still has a ton of customization opportunities.

Verizon give me 19% off. I got 2 free Droid X's and will be saving about $20/month.

Works for me.
