I have flashed a custom rom and now my battery life is terrible, what can I do?

The solution which works for most is to reset your battery status log. First you will want to charge your phone to 100% Then, plug your phone into the wall charger and open the recovery app and reboot to recovery. Once there scroll down to Advanced and the select Wipe Battery Status. Return to the main menu and select Reboot. Unplug your phone and do not plug it back in to USB/Car/Wall until it's below 20%, let it charge again to full uninterrupted and you should notice battery life is back to normal.

I'm on vacation with my laptop but do not have internet access where I'm staying. I would like to tether my phone so that I can share a few pictures with family. What can I do?

One of the easiest ways to share your internet connection is by using an application bundle called PdaNet. You download this application on your computer (Windows and Mac) and it will also prompt you to install the application on your phone. The process is very simple and explained in detail on the applications web site. You can find out more, and download the application using THIS LINK.

What's An SBF File?

SBF Is A File Leaked By Motorola That Is The System Image Flashed By RSDLite.

Does the V6Supercharger, 98KickassKernelTweaks, And

3GTurbocharger Work For Both Froyo And Gingerbread Based Roms?

Yes, Instructions With Pictures.

What Do The MinFree Values Control And Do?

FOREGROUND_APP: This is the application currently on the screen, and running

VISIBLE_APP: This is an application that is open, and running in the background because it's still doing something

SECONDARY_SERVER: This is a process (a service that an application needs) that is alive and ready in case it's needed to do something

HIDDEN_APP: This again is a process, that sits idle (but still alive) in case it's needed by an app that's alive and running

CONTENT_PROVIDER: This is apps that provide data (content) to the system. HTC Facebook Sync? That's a CONTENT_PROVIDER. So are things like the Android Market, or Fring. If they are alive, they can refresh and provide the content they are supposed to at the set interval. If you kill them, they can't of course.

EMPTY_APP: They are apps that you have opened, but are done with them. Android uses a unique style of handling memory management. When an activity is ended, instead of killing it off Android keeps the application in memory so that opening them again is a faster process. When this memory is needed by a different application or process, the RAM is flushed and made available for the new app.
