setup summary

Ok, Thought I would do a summary of mine, now that I have got it settled down..

Be-aware sometime you are going to “green screen” or get a “Kernal panic” but as been stated before once you get it going it can fly..(refer to the combinations to reset it.. they work.. just hit the keys in the right sequence and do as been stated).

If fact I would almost suggest that you do a reset so that you can setup the new Google Market and set this up how you want it.. as it seems to be working a lot better now then before I did one..

Right, I am running the ADWLauncher EX as my main launcher and it runs smooth.. got the docks setup and are loving it..

After that I recommend “Quick Task/app killer pro” by easy filter.. and use it consistently..

(my pet peeve are programs that don’t shut down.. and on a machine like this you got to kill them out of memory).. let it hang up in the notification bar and keep going back to it after you open any programs that don’t unload.. this will get you out of that “slow” mode..

Ok I will list some of the other ones that are useful and some that I find work fine for me..

Betterkey board

User Dictionary for Hero – adds words in to Betterkey board for you..

Adfree Android – BigTin Can - Kill those ads..

AndExplorer – takes you in to system

Root explorer – Takes in to system files

CPU Benchmark – so you can see you only have 800 overclocked

Appmanager – uninstall apps

Autorun killer – free up first boot..

Absolute System – To play with

SuperUser Permissions – Working

Universal Root – Doesn’t seem to want to give me a successful Root.. but as SuperUser is installed..

I seem to have access to everything

Battery Indicator Pro – Keep a check on my charging.. doesn’t actually give me the read out when I go in to the main spec’s as I haven’t built up any logs I think.. Also as I am using a heavy cache cleaner this culd be wiping them out too.. but it gives me a good reading in top bar of how long its been unplugged and how usage I have left.. today I had it on for at least 6 hours.. with loading in programs and surfing with some down time in screen saver mode.. so I am happy with the usage I am getting out of it..

cacheMate – use it often

QuickApp Clean Cache

Beautiful Widgets

Titanium Backup Pro

Xscope – Browser

Miren – Browser

Dolphin HD – Browser

exPDF Reader – PDF reader

Documents to go - Msoffice

Aldiko – reader

Google Maps

MSN Droid

QQ – As I am in china so can keep in contact with chinese friends also a fast file sender

Skype – Working

Winamp – Working

AudioPlayer with EQ - Working

I am not a big gamer but got Hungry sharks, chess and Frogger..

Ifitness – works with video’s too

I have a lot of Chinese translator and training materials on it and all seem to work well..

Thinking Space – mindmaps

Big Oven – for a bit of cooking

Buzzbox – News

AG Aussie News – to keep me up with the gossip back home

XDA – So can stay up with you guys!!!

Plus stock programs..

GPS is working but I haven’t used it much yet..

Want a VPN on it.. so will try to install over the coming weeks so I can use the Facebook install.. will post back once I get it setup..

I use a wireless mouse on it and saves scrolling all over the screen.. but I did do a recalibration and the touch is fine with using a light touch with my finger nail and or the styleless..

K.. hope this helps someone that is just setting one up.. have fun.. and its not a bad toy..

But I am ready for an upgrade already.. this is fun for around the house and coffee down at Starbucks.. but the next 6 months are really going to bring us some nice pads to play with..
