Dunno how useful anyone will find this, but I figured I'd share a couple of "must have" apps that have made my Sero pro a much better experience, and thought I should recommend:


Tegra overclock


https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...tegraoverclock


Not because it can over clock the sero, but because it fixes an issue iI had with gaming. Basically, any time the sero would start to warm up a bit, performance would get horrible. I saw this on games like Nova 3 and Horn, graphically intensive games. They would get so choppy as to be unplayable. With the tegra over clock app, I found that the kernel has a three step "thermal guard" set up, and the first step was set at 45C... And cut the CPU speed in half! The app recommended that the speed not be throttled until about 70C. I changed to this and now have no performance issues. Only downside... The setting has to be redone after reboot. The app has other useful features as well... Such as disabling the annoying tegra prism screen dimmer that adjusts brightness even when auto brightness is turned off (tell me I'm the only person who notices this??) Also most of the standard stuff found in most kernel tweaker apps. Very good app anyways and regular updates from Dev too.


Folder Mount


https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...evasque.fmount


An apps2sd type app but much better. Folder mount can link any folder on the built in storage to any folder on the SD card. ANY folder. It can create the folders for you and move the files for you. So easy to use. It has an app analyzer which will show you the apps that it can automatically move arranged in file size order. Very user friendly automation but again very flexible if you want to create specific links yourself. I have more Gameloft games installed now than could ever have fit on the seros 5.5 gigs of internal storage, and still have 3.5 gigs free. Also constantly updated by the Dev. I wouldn't have kept the sero if not for this app...


GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys


https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...d.hidesoftkeys


Frees up space on the screen by hiding the softkeys when you don't need them. Great for gaming. Also gets rid of the screenshot button for this who want to stay on stock phone ui. Lots of configuration options.


Anyways, thought I would share... Too bad this will get buried quickly... Come on xda give us a dedicated forum!
