i believe you can just flash the Broken Out zip ontop of it to go back to Blitz.
i asked if MT had any undervolting reccomendations and never got an answer. 192-1836 are your clocking frequencies, not actual voltages.
Yeah...That was what I was afraid of...back to installing and reinstalling apps....But if anyone wants to know...yes popcorn 2.0 does work with V3.0 BO sooooo there! LOL
Yup I know that too. Just wondering where to set everything to squeeze as much out of the phone as possible

i wouldnt think a data wipe would be required tp flash 3.0 on top of 3.0. The only thing your actually changing is the kernel
Pretty sure you just have to reflash the whole 3.0 ROM

So I went ahead and flashed evenless 3.0 over regular 3.0. All went well except I need to add back in a few missing stock apps. I've downloaded and tried Installing the alarm clock and LGemail apks but I get the "application not installed " message.
How do I go about reinstalling these apps? Do I need to use rootexplorer and place the files in a certain folder?

OK that's what I was thinking. After pasting files in app folder do I just reboot?
Its all good, I am back up since saying I was gonna reflash it anyway...
To install .apk's from outside the world....as it were, there is an easy way to do it. Download them to your download folder on your SD Card or any folder on your SD card that you designate. Go to the Play store and install Easy Installer. It will want Root permissions to scan your SD card. It should find the APK's you want to install. Checkmark what you want and install.

Still can't install those apps after placing in system/app. Thoughts?

I was never able to get the ones I tried to work, and based on the discussions I've seen here on the forums very few, if any, of those files can actually be installed.

You might need to.. and do a Dalvik wipe too, but I think I've dropped certain apps in there before and they were available immediately.
Dalvik and reboot can't hurt, though.

Dalvik and reboot didn't help. Oh well. I picked up enhanced email from Amazon a long time ago when it was free app of the day and it seems to be working ok.

if you ave a titanium back up with it you should be able to restore from there

Doesn't work either. They don't show up there. Must be something to do with being system apps.

Very happy with the latest release, this phone is very fast thanks to mt. Not a complaint just an observation, anyone else experiencing two different notification pull down looks depending on if you are in portrait vs landscape?
Yup, mine is different, still the stock icons in landscape. Not a big deal for me, hadn't even noticed till I checked after you mentioned it
I rarely use those and use landscape even lesshollywoods14

nothing super special really. I am not a real heavy user myself. Use Wi Fi when possible. i usually keep my data off, except only when i need to use it. i am overclocked to 1.8 and i thought lagfree, but actually was using the ondemand governer. I manually turn the screen off when im done using it, instead of letting it time out. Signal is a big one too, if you dont get a constant clean signal you will eat battery. I get that at the gym with the metal roof, but its inconsistant. sometimes i will kill 10-15% in the hour to hour and a half im in there. Then sometimes i will only drop 2%. Also you will notice the big loss of siganl, airplane mode!! Use it at night if you dont rely on your device getting you important information at night.
