For those wanting to root, I thought of a few other things that I did with my Captivate.
*The Captivate doesn't have an led notifier, so I loaded a kernel that allows my capacitive touch keys to light up and blink when I have a new text, email, or missed phone call. Basically, any app that would normally light up an led, now activates the backlight to the touch keys.
*Another is that I removed the time from my status bar, and moved it to where the date would normally be if you pull down the notification bar.
*Lastly, I side loaded an alternative camera app, that allows me to take pictures with the power button, instead of touching the screen. I don't know if the app actually requires root, but ATT doesn't allow side loading, so I needed root to get around that.
Also, I'm running 2.3.4 right now, which isn't available as an OTA update yet.
