I have an 8gb SD, titanium free, file manager. Mainly use Wi-Fi so I can d/l music surf the net and play games(wwf's) . So without spending more than 15 bucks how can I make my phone faster and look cooler? Space is not an issue. And yes I have searched the forums :). A here is my setup thread for different.uses would be awesome. Ty to the ppl who make this site what it is!
 
I'm not really sure what your asking for and why you would need to spend money at all.
Do you know how to over clock? There's also plenty of theming options. Quick silver is up to date, green machine is and I can update mine if you like any of those.

I like The Blues. Could you update that for 0219?
 
Ty for the reply. Yes I have my CPU @480 min. 749 Max.. I was using. GMT but too many glitches. Q S is nice. I have read the rom tools pro is a must. I just want to know if I can buy anything to boost my speed and performance.
 
I've been using GMT since I first flashed BACKside, I have not had any problems with it. What are these glitches of which you speal?
 
I use to have problems with the Green Machine Theme causing the same problems. I started waiting till after rebooting the ROM a couple of times to install the theme, no more problems!
 
how do i install a differnt theme? i can install green machine but any other like the blues dosnt work i just get adw error force close
 
I haven't updated blues for the new build in a while but if your wanting I will update it tonight when I get home in a couple hours.
The build of the theme has to match the build of the rom.
 
Most of the custom themes that are ROM specific are also build specific. When an update for say, the BACKside ROM is available, then you have to wait for the Developers of the themes to pull the proper files from the new update and apply them to their themes in order for their themes to work on that update. Old themes will not work on new updates. It is also handy to keep the old Theme.zip as well as the old ROM.zip on the uSD card in case the new update has some problems and you need to drop back to the known good build.
 
Have you looked into build.prop/int.d tweaks?

There's a few build.prop lines you can add that I really like to us that makes your phone pretty smooth. My phone runs as smooth as butter with no O/C, SmartassV2 governor.

debug.composition.type=gpu
ro.max.fling_velocity=12000
ro.min.fling_velocity=8000
persist.sys.ui.hw=1

I also change:

windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=260

from 260 to 60 since that's basically the FPS and even my gamer eye's can't notice much of a difference over 80. This line is already in the build.prop and does not need to be added. The first set of lines can be added to the bottom. (Supposedly this will save battery but feel free to leave it the way it is for better performance.)

Just mount system as r/w and edit them with a text editor. There's one built into Root Explorer. There's tons of tweaks you can find if you Google build.prop and/or int.d tweaks. Test em out and see what you like.

Oh and I almost forgot tvall's new kernel. It's a geeked out version of bob's. Just flash it like you would flash a ROM. It's super smooth. Just be careful if you are utilizing an sd-ext partition. You may want to disable it before trying to flash the kernel.

Here's links to d/l the kernel and his O/P where his ROM build and Kernel are posted.

Make sure to backup before you start the fun. :D
