    Farewell Hero

    Finally ordered by Nexus S from ebay today it should arrive in like 10 days. This was my first android phone and it, dare i say, changed my life (technological aspect anyway). At least now I see that the iPhone fad is really just for sheep. This phone will always hold a special place in my...

    Just found this in the XDA theme section and it seems pretty cool, nice way to customize your phone even further. Anyone else taken a look at it and know if it works in Eclair Sense roms or any Hero roms for that matter?

    Root Fastest Rom (Current)

    What do you guys (from experience) think the fastest rom out there is? For now, I think VR13 is the fastest and smoothest. I tried Elelinux's Gingerbread rom sometime ago but it seemed really sluggish compared to VR13. Idk if Speedmachine or any other roms are really faster or smoother than...

    What are kernels? What do I use them for? Do they improve battery life? Do I need one? Do they affect my battery life positively? Do I just flash them normally? Cause pretty much everyone on the XDA forums has a kernel in the list under their sig and I never have a clue why it's so...
