I managed to root this phone Orange Stockholm, and remove all branded software including boot animation.

1. Install - Gingerbreak V1.2 - enable unknown sources (application settings) and usb debugging - root the phone.

2. Install root capable File manager , enable root explorer in advanced menu

3. Open and modify /default.prop

Change line: ro.secure=1 to ro.secure=0 Save file.

4. Install Terminal Emulator, run following command

$ su

$ mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock8 /cust

5. Install File manager Delete /cust/orange folder but leave the /cust/lost+found folder there

Reboot

6. Install Root uninstaller - uninstall all programs with same orange coloured icon

Orangehomescreen, analogue clock, digital clock, homescreen tips, orange headlines, orange startup, vipcontacts, profiles, sim toolkit, stock games...

7.Reboot

Internal free space before: 127mb internal storage/ after: 137 mb

Now you have a clean android system.

Enjoy!

Attention! You loose warranty by Rooting your phone !
