+1.. great app. it not only prevents unwanted app startups on a reboot, but you can use it to prevent app startups when there is connectivity change , or a host of other system events that can trigger apps to startup.

like the app. only downside is the huge file size and you cant install to sd

Is there any downside to leaving both wifi and 3g off at the same time when not going to be using the phone for a length of time? I tested this, and even with both off, I still received incoming text/phone call. I guess the 3g connection automatically comes on when needed? keeping 3g off...

Usually I only reboot after applying a mod of some kind, but occasionally I will reboot if the I perceive the phone acting up somehow and I want to see if a reboot would help. same with my home pc..on standy/sleep when not using and only will reboot if necessary for software install or...

my optimus v is rooted.. when I run adb shell\su I get the # sign. when I run ROM tools to flash recovery it does not verify root..gives the $ sign. how to I flash custom recovery?

can this tool install a zip file on the sd card's root without using a custom recovery?

me too. ran superoneclick and clicked on root instead of shell root. ran the root test in the program and it said success. downloaded a few root apps and they worked. uninstalled some of the preinstalled crapware and found a command to allow more apps to be installed to SD card. rebooted...

If the market update option is actually true (and I doubt it) then I would think the only areas that would get update to gingerbread are those that may apply to all operator versions of the device across the board, like the gingerbread keyboard, stock browser or whatever can be applied to any...

ES File Explorer is good too. it will allow wireless LAN browsing through your home network. just click on the apk in the folder it is in on the PC and it will automatically transfer the apk to the SD card and ask if you want it installed.
