Yes, you can delete that because you no longer need it. What you need to do now is find a rom that you like and just flash it. (Giving your phone history, I assume you're familiar with roms).

Can you use the free hotspot with root? I really don't want another ROM. also if you root, will you still get the updates? Can you go back to an unrooted state if you want?

You're welcome bro, always good to pass along knowledge and links that others have shown me and always good to see another person root their phone and be free from the bloatware and experience the potential that our phones have.

Glad to see that your venturing into the ROM flashing world, it's a little scary the first few times but before you know it you'll be a flashaholic lol.

Ok now that you downloaded rom manager you can open that program and then scroll to the bottom and pick flash alternative recover to RA Recovery 2.3 as it's a better recovery to use and less problems flashing ROMs.

Now download your ROM of choice and get that bad boy on your SD Card and put it wherever you want as you can navigate to it once you reboot your phone into recovery to flash it, personally I just make a folder on my SD card named custom ROM's and store them their.

Before you get that far you need to do a nandroid of your stock ROM in case you ever have issues and want to go back or need your wimax keys.

Download the ROM you want, put it on your SD card, reboot phone into recovery and then go to back-up/restore and do a nandroid, then volume down to nandroid backup and let it run, once that is done you can scroll to return and then hit the power button to start your ROM flash. Scroll down to wipe and then to wipe ALL userdata/factory reset and do that 2 or 3 times, then do the same for cache and dalvik cache, once those are done return back one level and go to flash zip from sdcard and then navigate to the ROM you downloaded and then flash away, always make sure that you read the ROM thread to to know if there are any issues with the ROM and if their are what fixes if any are available, personally I read the ROM information that's in the first couple of posts and then I'll read the last 5 or so pages to know what issues/fixes are available and if anyone's having any issues installing the ROM, stuff like that.

Sorry for the long post but hope it provides some useful information to you, if you have any other questions feel free to pm me, good luck!

I'm not familiar with that program but I'm assuming you are talking about a program that's in the market. You should be able to root the phone and install that program without any issues. Why you wouldn't want another rom is beyond me, if anything they have custom stock roms that takes out all the sprint bloatware and adds in a few programs and the phone runs better. Any updates that sprint comes out with a Dev will incorporate into their custom rom. The only way that I'm aware of to go back to being unrooted is to restore your nandroid or flash an RUU file via your computer, the link below is to a thread that has a link to a site with the stock roms on it.

I would still switch from within ROM Manager to RA as people have issues with Clockworkmod recovery more than RA Recovery, but if you want to use Clockworkmod then have at it. Yeah Titanium is a good program to back-up your programs and their data, I wouldn't use it to back-up anything else. Well it's personal choice on which rom you run, I personally run Synergy which is a Sense 2.0 and hints of 3.0, great rom that's very stable for me, I have also used a rom called R3charged by a Dev called Evolvedrom and it's a Sense 3.0 rom but it's not as stable as at 2.0 or 2.0 with hints of 3.0 in it. Below is a link to a thread that has links to a lot of great roms.

Like I said before I suggest looking at the different roms and see what you like and read up on what it has installed in it and what issues if any it has.
