I finally got sick of the bloat and rooted it. I used The tutorial from here:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/10/26/universal-android-rooting-procedure-rage-method/
In the tutorial download file I substituted with the new version of the superuser.apk and su from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828
All you need to do is substitute the superuser.apk(system/app) and su(system/bin) the rest of the folders/files are not needed. This method worked 1st try, you just have to be very cautious and type everything exact.
Thought I would share for those that like to do things manually Now on to de-bloating, anyone know of a good list of apps that are safe to remove? So far i just got rid of cityid and infoalarm.apk(daily briefing).
Or you could install z4Root from the Market...
This is true but I like to know whats going on under the hood.

Yeah, that happens sometimes. I don't know why. That's one reason that I like SOC better. That and I can see what's going on.
Question. If/when I Jack up my phone, and it needs to go in, is there a way to restore the Mez to it's original bloated glory? Thanks in advance

You can tether without rooting with the stock wireless modem app unless you just don't want to use that one. Saving apps to the sdcard won't come until Q1 2011 with the 2.2 update.

Since you are in the Rooting the Mesmerize thread, have you gotten the phone rooted? Next, if so have you gotten Clockworkmod installed correctly? That is in a different thread?
Just trying to get background info to know where to start the help. I definitely don't mind helping.

You're supposed to, however. I have talked to several us cellular employees and they cannot tell if you use it or not. If you go over your 5 gigs, they'll assume and charge you. I've been using it and have not had anything said to me.

Yeah, If you just flash to stock then flash the vibrant port you should be good. If you dont flash to stock you'll get a bootloop.

Pretty much...change kernel and modem and broaden your horizons.
Really? How do you make sure you don't brick the phone? Im on t-mobile and I'd really like to get wifi calling so could I use one of their roms to do that?
I wouldnt know about wifi calling.
As for brickage, odin is your friend.

the phone is so much more smoother now and lot of the lag is gone. but thats gingerbread for u its a much better os than froyo. i loved the phone before but love it a lot more now. this is what android needs to from there phones to show how much faster they are than iphones and keep them UPDATED thats a big thing.

So I have spent the last 2-3 days combing every respectable forum on the web and can't find an answer to this.
I did the kies update to 4.1.2 and then rooted with SuperuserSU. Now I need to tether. I tried freezing the TetheringProvision 4.06.30 but that didn't work like it did with the Tethering Manager in GB and ICS.
Can someone advise what the issue is?
I would appreciate any assistance you can give.

I have a SII i727 on the ATT network;
Im not sure exactly what you are using for your wifi app but I use Wifi Tether for Root. After updating to JB 4.1.2, I rooted using openrecovery twrp 2.5.0.0. in odin 1.85. I deleted my previous Wifi Tether app and started fresh. I found the following site and directly downloaded/installed the TrevE Mod from the browser in my phone using a Google search. I then followed the instructions from the following;
This is where I would have inserted the link however this site restricts me from doing that since I am a new user. So instead, google search "wifi tether treve mod" and your first hit should be a site from highonandroid dot com. From there, they do all the work.
I can't believe it, but it works on both my ipad and laptop flawless!!! I hope that helps and best of luck to you...
