    So frustrating.
    task killers are outdated and pointless on the current versions of Android. The OS manages memory better itself now, and using task killers now actually uses more battery life trying to close out apps than letting the OS manage things.

    Anti virus programs are pointless as well, seeing as how there are no viruses on android. The reports of stuff in China was actually shady apps taking advantage of stupid people not reading the permissions they grant to those apps. Apps can't do anything on android unless you grant the permissions, so just read those before installing anything.

      I used the same ROM but have been experiencing a few reboots. Have you had any problems like this happen?
      I've heard this "patience is a virtue" junk all my life. I'm happy to say I have no virtue, no scruples, and no desire to wait too long for anything. In my humble opinion instant gratification takes too long!

        Haven't had any reboot problems. Have you added anything via the Fresh Updater?

              Ah yeah that's a popular one. The only thing holding me back is lack of 4G support. Though they are very close to getting it done, and that's when I'll be flashing over to CM.

                    little over 1500 on the Quadrant test. Pretty amazing for a 800mhz processor. Way faster than EVO 4g, even faster than Nexus S.

                      For some reason your SD card was unmounted (disconnected from the OS, even if not physically so), could be a sign of your sd card going bad, could be nothing. I would back everything up and just watch it, if it keeps unmounting or fails to mount have it replaced.

                              I would love to try that rom if only they could get 4g to work with it.

                                Anyone use Ad Block for the Droid?

                                I can't stand seeing pop up ads on the browser....or Angry Birds.
