    I know that Fresh 2.0d says it does apps to SD. I came from fresh 1.1 and all and never had apps2sd before however I would love to use it. Is it on automatically when you install 2.0d or do I need to do something for it to work? I am still using the stock SD card that came with the phone. If it...

    I took of Advanced Task Killer when I put Fresh and Gumbo on since some have said that they don't play nice. I sometimes mess up and don't close out the app by hitting the back button.

    SetCPU vs Overclock

    I will be rooting tonight then putting fresh 1.1 on and then the gumbo kernel and want to use one of these two to speed up the phone. Which one should I use? I am okay with paying 99 cents for the app so please do not count that against it. I am looking for overall performance.

    Thinking about Rooting and Custom ROM

    Cleaning the HTC Hero Screen

    So I expected this as I have friends with iPhones and I see it on their phones. Smudges! I hate smudges! So normally I just wipe it clean with a microfiber and it looks pretty good, however that does not always remove all the oils caught on the screen. I would think that over time, the oils...
