Try Nameless V1 if you want to stick as close as possible to stock.
You SHOULD root because that allows you to flash a custom kernel and recovery.
1) you get to fully backup your phone in case you FUBAR stuff
2) custom recovery allows overclocking (if you want)
3) with a custom rom - like Nameless - you can move the dalvik-cache directory to the /cache part
this allows more install room in /data
4) if you're really wanting to watch space - get Root Explorer or ES File explorer or some other app
that allows you to set read/write permission to the /system folder - what this allows you to do is
move system apps that update - like GMail, Google Maps, etc, back into the system folder from
the app directory - which will free up even more space! *KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED*
If you do not understand /data /cache /system locations - do not play with #4
But if you do play with #4 - you did step #1 and backed up your phone first - correct?
