just disable the stock message notification,
go to message app -> settings -> untick "Received notification"

don't have to ask whether is it worth rooting,
instead you should ask is it worth NOT rooting

even if you root you can still have the stock HTC sense apps,
rooting only grants you the superuser permission
as long as you don't flash to non Sense based ROM, you will always have Sense apps,
but you can remove some of them if you prefer to,
however some are not removable even if you've rooted, such as the dialer


whatever you're doing, its always worth rooting
reason for not rooting is ONLY the warranty,
besides that whatever reason it is, it is a stupid reason for not rooting.
hence why I said "is it worth NOT rooting"

lol, no, that's why I quoted you to explain.

I've a rooted phone, a Desire,
flashed with a custom Froyo Sense ROM,
it works like any other Sense ROM, except better,
its smoother, faster, plus save more battery due to all the optimization tweaks done by the custom ROM developers.
besides that I'm able to flash custom icons, themes, fonts, animations on top of the Sense ROM.
the official Froyo has nothing compared to custom Froyo,
the downside is only that you need to learn how to root and flash a custom ROM.

yup, rooting does void the warranty,
you can unroot it back when you want to claim for warranty,
that is if you know how to

same for me

true..
if iPhone 5 is not coming out with at least a dual core processor in the future..can say bye bye to Android

its free

did you install other launcher already?
if yes, and there's still nothing,
go to manage application and clear default,
then press home again, it should prompt you to choose a launcher

I'm not on sense rom now, so I could be wrong, but iinm go to message app > settings > untick notification

Swype keyboard, SlideIt keyboard, SwiftKey keyboard, ThickButtons keyboard,

if you're looking for the best tech,
no matter what its going to be obsolete fast, because technology itself evolves too fast.
and to be fair, if you care much about having the best tech, you shouldn't get a Wildfire in the first place.
its targeted for the low end market.

plus, you do realize there are still a lot of people who are still using cheapo feature phones out there?
those phone are even more obsolete compared to WF
and I think using 'obsolete' is too harsh, its not like WF is totally unusable

you sure you unticked the one in the message app?
if you have by right there should be any notification anymore.

go to settings > account & sync > choose your gmail account > remove account

is that what you mean?

after you've installed the keyboard,
you need to enable it first in settings,
go to settings > language and input > tick swype
after that you'll be able to choose swype as input method
