    So long for now HTC

    Departing from the world of HTC for a while and got a Nexus S. Never really took off with the DS, was just a phone to me as opposed to the fun I had with the original Desire. Maybe it was just too similar. Will see what HTC offers this time next year when I upgrade with my network.

    Anyone here got experience of messing with the CPU settings in Oxygen 2.1.4? There are also governers available for powersaving and performance. Are there any stability issues with these and what are the provable benefits?

    Root Date format

    Well I've decided on my two fav ROMs - Oxygen and Redux, due to their overall lightness and lack of apps I have no use for. Only problem, and I've encountered it on each, is the date format. I'm in the UK and as such use day/month/year. Both ROMs allow this format in setting, and change the...
