    Help Stock GingerBlur email app, are individual notifications possible?

    I started using GB yesterday, and decided it was a good time to again try out the stock email app (had been using K-9). I have several email accounts on my phone, but I only want to be notified of new mail in two of them. I don't see any way to do this. Is this even possible in the stock...

    An opportunity... :-)

    Hey all you Hero root regulars! I have been thinking for some time that our Sprint HTC Hero section "how to root" stickies are getting kind of out of date and disjointed. Not too many folks need to do the old "copy and paste" via command prompt method (Android 1.5), although it should be...

    Menu - Settings anyway to alphabetize?

    I suspect the order of the items under menu/settings is listed by frequency of use, as expected by HTC, or Google. Is there any way the order can be re-arranged? Perhaps alphabetized? Wouldn't it be easier to use this way? I think on an old phone I had you could long press and then re-arrange...

    Different browsers used in 2.1 ROMS?

    I have a strange issue. I use the BofA app. (NOT the BofA text reminders that mess up the sms messages!) With Android 1.5, the BofA app would remember the device, and all was good. After trying several ROMs, I have now settled for the time being on the Zen Roms. Using 0.9.6OC, the BofA app...

    Why does it fail? And why should I even need to login to use maps/navigation? The maps still work, and so do driving instructions. This happens when I just click on the shortcut to Maps. Selecting menu, and "sign-in" results in the same message. Yet I never had anyplace to enter any login...
