i also would just like to throw a heads up out there for people that keep music on their phone and are thinking about switching to a gingerbread rom. the new google music app will sync you music to the google servers and you can stream the music to your phone

All this gingerbread stuff sounds pretty nice, not sure I feel like going through all the work to get it though.

i think the home screen delays and icons disappearing have a lot to do with the kernel used. In the GB rom i still have those problems but when i had the 1ghz kernel flashed i saw that a lot less but my battery suffered at that expense

Is there any way to make it so I don’t get email notifications while I’m sleeping? I want to be woken up by texts, or calls, in case of an emergency. I use my phone as an alarm clock, so turning it to vibrate or silent won’t do. I plug it in next to me at night, so maybe if it wouldn’t notify me when it’s plugged in that would work. I just don’t want to be woken up by spam in one of my email accounts. Any ideas?

I’d rather not have to turn off email notifications on four different email accounts before i go to sleep. What kind of app? If it applies i’d be happy to beta (or even alpha) test it for you.

it deals with customizing all sorts of different types of notifications and the part you will like you can schedule when you want notifications to be on and off. like a set it and forget it type of thing

That would be awesome. I found an app called locale which does that, but it doesn’t work with email. You have to buy a .99 plugin called locale email silencer as well as the $10 locale app to get it to work.

There is one that manages alerts, shuts off things (GPS, WiFi, etc.) at certain times. The name escapes me. I’m sure Tuner knows.

There’s a battery manager built into the X that lets you turn off syncing at night. Lost it with the Liberty ROM though. I’m going to try the ones you guys are recommending.

Ah, here we go. Downloaded fission from here [http://www.teamdefuse.com/roms/rom-manager/](http://www.teamdefuse.com/roms/rom-manager/) and installed the stock battery manager. :tup:
