Ha. Awesome. Though my phone is already running at 512 from overclocking... I'm interested in the better browser and better overall functionality. That list of goodies sounds nice, even if I dunno what half of em mean. Lmao. Plus.. it looks hella easy to do apps2sd. That has been a long, unwinable process I still hope to accomplish. Plus, doesn't look hard to install either, considering I'm rooted.

Ill probably try it out tomorrow.

Oh guys, thanks for not flaming. As I said.... its been a while...
