LG Revolution Rooted – Bye Bye Bloatware, Hello Development

It seems that while HTC may be provided a temporary roadblock in development regarding their devices LG has released theirs in the open state we’re use to. LG’s most recent device, the Revolution, hit shelves yesterday and has already been rooted. The guys over at RootzWiki managed this feat by using the rageagainsthtecage method which gained them super-user access. Although we’ve yet to see a source code it seems that the Revolution is well on its way to seeing some custom integrations. For starters how about gathering up the bloatware and hitting the delete button.

I'm an avid technology lover. My first Android device was a G1; I fell in love (except for the battery), next I got a Samsung Captivate; error in judgment on my behalf, now I've moved on to the MyTouch 4G; which I absolutely love. What started with me just needing some kind of phone to use, i.e. free G1, ended with a new addiction.... I also enjoy long walks on the beach and luxurious bubble baths.... Oh wait.
