Hey fastRX8, once again, thanks for all of your help. I just wanted to mention something you might want to check out.
After I ran with Calk's ROM for a bit, I wanted to mess around a bit more ... in the interest of learning. It's not a flash addiction!
Anyway, I flashed the stock-rooted ROM I found on XDA (

And then I went to SDX, where joeykrim has an excellent ONLINE ROM builder. (
http://forum.sdx-developers.com/deve...al-update-zip/) Right now it mostly removes bloatware, but that will work for many people who are biding their time waiting for 2.2. I removed all of the crazy Sprint apps and dumb widgets I don't use.
He had one for the Moment and I loved it for that device.
Also, that stock-rooted rom gave me that SuperUser icon I didn't get before.
Thanks again!
