Ready for root

[psychotic_penguin]

Woody and birdman are working on it, but haven't found a way to root or unlock it. It may be a long wait.......

You can try to bribe c skills (@steaith) into coming up with one. I don't know of anyone else actively releasing android exploits lately.

I'll match that, even if it's temporary root -- I need my root tools and to kill this godawful bloat.

Just to keep everyone posted, as I see it has already been, yes me and birdman are working on finding a new exploit and getting root, we tried for awhile last night and got nothing, but I'm confident we will have something soon.

Just got my Droid 3 today. Overall, the new Blur is not nearly as annoying as the old one, but the bloatware has got to go. Here's the list of extras from my phone:

Amazon Kindle
Vz Apps
Blockbuster
Citrix client
City ID
DLNA (Way cool. I'm keeping this one.)
GoToMeeting
Guided Tours
Vz Im
My Accounts
Ny Verizon Mobile
NFL Mobile
Skype Mobile
Slacker
Social Location
Social Networking
Vcast Media Manager
Vcast Music
Vcast Tones
Vcast Videos
Vz Navigator

There's also a pretty decent file manager and network printing app that are pretty neat too.

If they would just give us the ability to remove the Verizon ware I suspect most would be fine with not having root access to the phone.

Good luck woody and birdman, I hope you guys come up with something soon. I know me and everyone else are really counting on you devs to really make this phone impressive.

I actually like the task manager Moto put in as well. It shows you the apps, if they are running or not, how much memory they are taking up and you can kill the processes. That is well done.

But the bloat is absolutely just stupid, I count 20+ garbage apps and I am pretty sure that's north of 300MB of space taken up.
