Easy fix to get rid of SprintID icon in launcher.
I downloaded free Android 2.3 Launcher from Market and when choosing it as my default launcher it replaced the SprintID menu icon with the green Browser icon link.
Don't pay for app as there is a paid version, the app is free and taken from the Nexus S 2.3 OS.
The Android 2.3 Launcher also has settings to set up 3D app drawer but that feature doesn't work, well it sort of does but it is off centered.
I also downloaded free LiveWallpaper from Gingerbread which is from the Nexus S.
To take the screenshot I downloaded ShootMe (Screen Grabber).
There you go, even though SprintID is still there somewhere in the background it is no longer visible on Launcher making for an almost stock Android experience.
