AT&T Quickfire (GTX75) mods

I'm moderately skilled at hacking into phones and grew up unlocking and flash/flexing my previous phones to my liking. I would be interested in knowing if anyone here has any information on the Quickfire OS and it's vulnerabilities that would allow me to get access to it.

Here's what I would like to do:

1. Change application security permissions to never ever ask (not even once) for internet access. I paid for unlimited texting/internet and want to be able to use it without annoying permission requests every time I open and use Opera Mini, Gmail, and Google Maps among the other apps out there.
2. Get an equivalent of the iPhone's Last.FM streaming radio app. I have a current subscription to XM in my car, so I don't want to pay for the same service twice.
3. Remove or replace the AT&T 3G startup video/sound.
4. Reorder and/or create new menus -- remove/replace unused items.
4. Create new themes.

however, the touch screen really isn't that bad. furthermore, i'm not exactly sure how you came to the conclusion that the design is similar to a child's playtoy, but i will have to politely ask you to either contribute something useful, or go back to sucking steve job's sick c| ick.
