Smile root pictures and repotting!

I repotted my phals tonight and took a good look at the roots. They seem good to me; very firm and almost all of them green. On the photo of the bigger phal with lots of roots, should I cut off any of the white-ish roots? Some of them are green at the end. I only trimmed dried-up ones. Also, I think it's starting to flower, and it definitely perked up after a night in a humid tupperware! I read that if you cut the stem just below the first flower (after the flowers die) that there is a chance it will re-bloom. I'm hopeful! (I see something growing from the 2nd notch down in the photo!)
