I'm happy with the default theme. HTC Sense is pretty sweet anyway. I'm guessing your phone is rooted, Geoff?

I've thought about rooting, but does it void the warranty?

I'm pretty sure it falls along the same lines of jailbreaking an iPod. Just reset it if something happens.

LOVE my Galaxy S Captivate! Wipes the floor with my fiancees Iphone!

Im rooted with the Cognition 2.2 Mod. Very speedy!

I knew I should have gotten the Captivate over the Aria

Resetting the phone can undo rooting?

The Captivate is a gorgeous phone! The screen is absolutely awesome and the HD videos look really good too. Ill post a video in a sec of a video I shot on it.

If you do a master wipe and reset it should reset the factory image on it.

As far as I know, when you root on android your wiping the original image in place of a new one. Thats the way the Cognition mod works at least, I think there are a few different versions that you can do to varying degrees.

Dorky video, but you'll get the point. Captivates HD video camera destroys anything the iphone can do!

Watch it in 720p obviously, I show this to people and their mouths just drop that it was shot on a cell phone. It looks WAY better on the Amoled screen too.

No, that's when you install a new ROM. Rooting just gives you admin privileges.

Sorry your absolutely right, I was confusing the two.

Nope. Still private.

Don't worry mate. I totally know how good the camera is.

I also was thinking of a ROM. Undoing rooting by resetting makes much more sense. (I don't know why I mixed up rooting and ROM as they are very different...)
