I just picked up my Evo and am ready to download stuff to it

What are some must have apps? (Let's post a name and a description )

Also, anyone have a quick how-to or what-is rooting for this phone?

And finally, how do I tether with this thing :uhhok:

 

Root -

http://unrevoked.com/#evo

run unrevoked forever, follow directions word for word . . . .

as for tethering if you want through usb cable use pdanet
if you want wifi tethering you can dl wireless tethering once you are rooted (however i never can get it to work that well)

 

used http://www.appbrain.com/app/ryanzas-...QuickFixLagFix
for root and lag fix.
titanium backup is pretty cool to well back up apps... and deleted apps that came factory.
XDA forum is full of goodies

 

that's for the galaxy S

there is no lag fix needed on the evo

 

 

Thanks ...I gotta look at hose tonite. I can't get amazon mp3 to stop running


Is there an app that tracks battery usage?

 

don't worry about that running

and don't use task killers

the way the android OS works is completely different from how you would normally run a PC on windows. Just because apps are "running" doesnt mean they are a battery drain nor a resource hog.

You can google the topic and see many blogs and articles on why not to use one. but basically let me put it this way . . . programs run better and battery lasts LONGER if you DONT use a task killer

 

ex task killer here - i agree, dont use it.

 

Hmm, guess i should read up on getting rid of my task killer

evo owners, what care are you guys using?

 

care? wat?
