overclocking stock d2

[bsteady2]

hello everyone...i have been searching for a thread that covers overclocking the original stock d2 rom, but no luck so far...Im crazy about this phone. vzw gave it to me because i had so many certified like new replacements..i believe it was about 12 over a years time frame..anyway this phone is slow, whereas my d1 was good to go..please someone share their experience with getting it to run faster...

Here's a simple guide to rooting the D2.

After rooting snag a copy of D2 Bootstrapper from the Market and Bootstrap your phone for a custom recovery.

Then of course do a Nandroid back-up then I would worry about overclocking because I've been seeing a lot of posts of people having boot-loops today due to overclocking.

Cheers!

I looked at some of the OP'S previous posts. I don't think he is interested in rooting.

I know how some people don't like using the search button

Don't need an app. You can use this way, but I'm pretty sure you still have to be rooted for this..

Settings >> Applications >> Manage Applications >> Select Application you wish to move >> Tap "Move to SD Card"

idk if you have those files or not, but they can be found in the rescue squad files (see link in sig)

There is an app called "app2sd" on the market. I use it just because it seems like a faster method, it allows you to move all compatible apps with 1 click.
