I feel strange paying money for a phone app. Hopefully that will change one day, but if it's paid I generally avoid it. I will use the heck out of ad-supported though.
I have a couple apps that I'd like to get rid of the ads in, but they've got other issues besides the ads, so I hesitate to pay them just yet. So far, I haven't spent a dime for apps.

Good point.
I use HOSTS file to rid ads. Works quite well. Similar in operation in windows, its in the etc\hosts.
I used to avoid paying for apps on my phone as well. Then I remembered that I willingly fork out $50 for a game that I'll play through once and forget about. Now I don't feel bad at all paying a few dollars for solid, useful apps that I use on a near daily basis.
If you already have one you want to switch to installed, go to Applications -> Manage Applications -> ADW EX -> Clear defaults. Next time you hit home, you'll be asked which launcher you want to use.
If you need to get another one, download Launcher Pro or something like that, which will usually reset the defaults for you so you can choose it on next launch.
ADW is one of the most stable launchers out there. You should seriously consider a factory reset, or coming by Toronto so I can give that phone some TLC.
In other words, FCs for ADW are just a symptom, not the problem.
Launcher Pro and Zeam Launcher are the popular alternatives.
So, what are the options for us T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2 (Hercules T-989) for rooting and what which ROM is the best? Are there any ICS ROMs available?

Thanks, Tushon. I had been reading xda and, of course, Cyanogenmod but wanted more info from by besties. I am growing very tired of the Default Samsung/ T-Mobile look and feel.
I like CM7 a lot and will thoroughly enjoy CM9 when it drops, as my phone will never get ICS otherwise.
Best thing I can say is try out a few ROMs without worrying about restoring data into each one just to get a feel for it. Just make sure you did the backup right first.

Good point.
Having a bit of trouble backing up my current stock ROM with Rom Manager, though. Looking forward to playing with some new software.

Is it possible to disable (or change) the ADW launcher on my phone?
It crashes frequently, and it does cause slowdown from time to time (mostly when transitioning to newly opened apps).
I like the launcher a lot, but the trouble it's been causing recently has me less concerned about awesome and more concerned with usability.
Just need this phone to go another two months.....
