Just came back from 10 minutes of googling. And yup, LCD churns out more power displaying black, by a mere increase of 3.16% (average). Okay, I'm gonna change back into the whiter one. But blacked out apps are suitable and comfortable for night mode. Softer on the eyes. Peace :)

thank you ptrrrrrck for including the dark Google Search widget in the OP. I thought I might also mention for those that don't know, that Go Launcher Ex provides a way to have a transparent Google Search, by downloading the Go Search widget, and the Go widget transparent skin... they are both free I believe and it looks slick... and the transparent skin also works for the other Go widgets obviously, like Bookmarks, etc.

For those of us who do not run CyanogenMod, I have been experimenting with a way to get the web browser (any browser, any ROM) to use a black background using a web filtering proxy. Please check out my post here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=17960461 and see if you can take this concept further.

I think the Gmail app link is outdated. The latest black background version (2.3.5.2) is available at this thread: Gmail 2.3.5.2 - Inverted and Transparent. There is another transparent version available at TRANSPARENT GMAIL 2.3.5.

Also for Samsung phones (works on my Galaxy S II, not sure about others), Samsung's Email app lets you set a black background for reading emails. When reading an email, click the menu button, select "Background color," then "black." After that, all emails will display with white text on black backgroudns.

Samsung is the only email app I know with this feature. (Maybe also Motorola? and other phone-specific apps.) I don't think K-9, Enhanced Email or Touchdown Exchange can do this.

I don't know if this counts, but for a very light RSS reader, my suggestion is Scrollable News Widget. This is an RSS widget, not an app. You can customize the widget background to any color, including black or transparent, and adjust the text colors as well. Tapping a RSS entry will load the article in a web browser, which you can also force to a black background using CyanogenMod or my web browser solution.

I know that flashing a radio via Recovery on an Oxygen r2 or Data++ hboot will brick your phone, but I was just wondering-- what would happen if I forgot that I was on a custom hboot with only a 100Mb /system partition and flashed a ROM onto it via Recovery?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
Nothing will happen, you will just have bootloop.

Also flashing radio on oxygen / cm7 hboot will not brick your phone, you will just get an error.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Pretty much what he said ^.. if you flash a ROM with a bigger system than what your partitions have allocated for it then the phone won't boot, and a simple "fix" for it is just to flash a different Hboot and do a clean install of the ROM.

Note: Sometimes you may experience a bootloop with a ROM, and it is not because of your Hboot, so don't always count on that to be the cause, more often than not when that happens all that needs to be done is a clean install of the ROM again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Borat38:
Thanks guys. That (mis)information about the radio bricking the phone when flashed to a 5Mb /cache partition was also from XDA. Good to know it ain't true.

After a lot of frustration and just a bit of sheer luck, Im 100% positive I've found a way for people to root their sk4g as well as modify the recovery so that they dont have to do adb (im pretty adb retarded). I came up with this method after i had soft bricked my phone and couldnt figure out how to put CWM on the phone after i Odin'd back to stock. All i did was take the correct recovery from the cwm, replace both recoveries in the 1clickrootexploit and run, reboot phone, install Rom Manager from marketplace.

Credit goes to Noobn1 and the guys for creating the 1clickrootexploit, and Krylon360 for the CWM.

Actually, you don't need (and I don't recommend) Rom manager at all, it just ends up having issues with our CWM versus the build in Rom manager that has issues.
