Check out Link2SD on the Android Market! market.android.com/details?id=com… This works for ,1.6,2.0,2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and 3.0.
When I gave this a try it let me install all my apps to SD card. Now I have almost 200 apps on my phone and still have tons of room left.

Tips and Tricks
Android Battery Saving Tips!
I have noticed that alot of Android users are always complaining about battery life. Yes its one of the major downfalls when it comes to the Android OS. One of the main reasons for this issue is that the OS has so much running in the background. Such as Sense updates, Push notifications, Facebook, and other applications that have to run in the back. Why you may ask, well cause Android is about getting things fast to the consumer. In may return drained battery life.
So here is a few tips on how to make your day go longer without running for a charger!
If your out and about and not under WIFI all day, turn your 3G or 4G off and use 2G. You will still get all emails and tweets but less Data use and Network searching. The Network searching is the main thing that drains battery. It searches and searches till it has the best connection. Sleep or awake.
Another great tip is to let battery drain till phone turns off! Then leave it off and charge for two hours or more. This is a battery learn procedure. If you do this two times a week or so, your battery will have longer life.
Last tip:
If your not using a application just uninstall it. Alot of apps sometimes run in the background without you even using it. You can verify this in your settings. (Menu,Settings,Applications, and Running Services.).

He is not being a troll he was just stating a fact that we have a similar thread for this that pertains to both phones. So this thread is quite useless as it sits, and IMO does need to be deleted. And the fact that you are soliciting your website on here doesn't help your case either....just saying.
Thank you fate. If only I were a moderator.... hmmm.

Ya probably b/c this forum wasn't created until about a month and a half ago, And the fact that there is still no source code released for this device, that makes it somewhat difficult to make any significant modifications to the phone.
Anyway here is the thread I referred to in my last post.

Lets keep it relevant here please..
I'm not gonna you any more of a hard time, but my point is the fact that we have already started a thread with some of these same findings, and so far your findings are not relevant to any special Sprint only modifications, We have link2sd, we have sysctl settings tweaked... So what tweaks are you talking about that is so special on the Sprint ZIO that you cannot already do on the cricKet ZIO?

Has anyone here ever been charged twice for an app? When minecraft pocket edition came out for all phones, I bought it. However, I don't like the game in it's current state and will rebuy when it's more like the PC version. So I hit the refund button thinking everything was dandy and when I checked my statement I had another charge of $6.99. I contacted Mojang and they never responded, how do I get my $14 back? :|
Thanks.
Keep annoying Mojang until you get a response? Or... maybe you could contact google and tell them what happened since. You know.. they made the market and stuff

Thanks for the video. Friday's almost here!
I didn't realize they put the power button on the top left. That's a weird spot to put it...I do like that they put the proximity sensors on the left side of the front. That is a major design flaw on my s3 at the moment (every time I'm on a phone call and I try to swipe down notifications, screen will turn off since it registers my thumb.)

This was the same problem with the EVO 4G LTE. I'd always end up tripping the proximity sensor when I swiped down the notification bar during calls and what not. I like the new position, and it adds a little more industrial aspect to the overall look of the handset.

Yeah, just fixed that. That was my fault. I meant if you want to know more about the phone, I'll be happy to answer questions. I've been typing a lot today. I think it's time to take a break from the computer.
Well done
Because of the curved back, I'm guessing it's a bajillion times more comfortable to hold in your hand, no ?

explicit, how is that battery holding up?
Also, it might be a network issue, but my LTE would have trouble with incoming texts that are more than 160 chars. So I would receive the 2nd text first, then the initial text would come in second. (When one long text gets broken down into 2). I was wondering if the One did this too.

there are unlocked codes available now for it.
as asked above, what exactly is this?
I used themer solidly for maybe a day total before uninstalling it. Its a great concept in terms of making a phone look different from stock but it completely fails in ease of use. I don't use social or shopping apps but over half the themes have a folder for those. And deleting either folder kind of kills the look. Also, that weather widget almost never shows the actual temperature. No matter how my times I reopen the app, it refuses to update.

This app is always really unresponsive, especially in first use. Trying to scroll a page can cause freezes for a few seconds.
Not seeing this with any other function. Stock Google factory build with Franco kernel running stock settings.
I bought the app for simplicity and speed over having to use a browser but the browser is normally faster?
Ideas?
Its junk and I would never pay for it. I prefer XDA desktop in Dolphin browser!
XDA app is really weak. You can try tapatalk, but it's also slow while scrolling, etc. Just poor coded apps from what I've been told. You can try tweaking your system to improve performance in the app, but it won't be perfect.
aosp browser with xda only, no apps needed nor wanted. always fast this way
I've said a million times the only reason I use Tapatalk is because there aren't any alternatives. XDA app is pretty much the same thing.
I cant complain about app, its works, notification works fast, no problems, sometimes kinda slow loading, but never crash
Good to know. Surprising given the skill of many people on this forum, a simple app like this should be perfect..... They have my money so too late for me! Back to the browser.

Tapatalk isn't made by XDA. The XDA app is also just a branded and licensed Tapatalk client. No apps are "perfect" either, regardless whoever created it.

Not sure if it can be considered as a serious alternative but give a try to Forum Fiend. I didn't test recent updates but the user experience was slightly different compared to Tapatalk.

Its just that there are hardly any good alternatives. Most forums apps you can find will be based on the Tapatalk API anyways, too.

Can't come fast enough. I do have a feature request for XDA One. I want it to data mine all the links I press and send me to an XDA redirect that's down half the time, pr2-xda-devolpers.com. Make that happen, and I'm on board. Oh, and I want little XDA branding on all the screenshots I upload.

O frabjous day, calloo callay! This is pleasant news because I don't think it can be overstated how ghastly and absolutely horrid the Tapatalk user experience and design are.
Looking foward to the new app however; it's obvious the current one is lacking and far behind
That is wonderful news. I have one question not related to the actual development of the app, will it replace the free and premium apps or become a new app? (Reason being is I bought both Tapatalk and XDA Pro)
