What app can I use to get multiple control widgets ie WiFi, Brightness, 3G etc on one bar?

"power control"

I've used that one before, but looking for one that has 3g and others.

Something like Singh's on the right hand side, but with more options

Well you can either use SwitchPro Widget or Extended Controls. In my screenshot above I'm using Extended Controls. I should point out that you can select what functions you want to show on your widget control, but both programs feature a crap load of options to have shown in the widgets. I only have 3 selected, because they are the most that I use most often.

The full official RUU package for Froyo / 2.2 is out now. Get it here.

I find Dazzle works great for that, can fit more than 4 items on a 4x1 bar for example. Options are 1x1 to 4x1 which should be more than enough for all of your off/on needs.

You can do that with the apps I mentioned too. You can have as many or as little as you would like on the widget. All sorts of widget options sizes aswell.

No, you shouldn't do. Just a GoldCard probably.

Apparently there is a trick to double the battery life...

Sounds a bit far fetched but there are reports that it works... (unless it's a placebo effect)

switch pro and extended controls are probably better but dazzle is free!

goldcard roots your device mate

goldcard roots your device mate

No it doesn't. Goldcard just allows you to flash different official ROMs. Hence why when you debrand you phone. You grab an official generic ROM, and then create goldcard, and then flash that RUU.

so what does rooting do?

Allows you to flash unofficial roms amongst other things. Also allows root access to protected areas of the firmware so that you can do things like over or underclock the cpu.

I can't explain why it's good. It's pointless. But good.

Yeah I've used this a few times to annoy the missus and also keep the little one entertained with the noises I was generating.

Pointless fun as you've stated and you can get it to sound like a Theremin if you tweak it a bit
