    i've been trying out making a gold card following a few guides.....seemed easy enough but i've no idea if it's worked.

    Has anyone got a working gold card that they have put in their desire?
    I am just wondering what i'm actually looking for to confirm mine works as it just boots up as normal at the minute which leads me to believe either i've fucked up or the sd card just isn't compatible as a gold.

    It's pretty easy really hard to fuck up if you follow the guides i've only had mine since monday .....the main benefit is the ability to put your apps onto you sd card....other than that fuck knows .

    Overclocking, Install unsigned homebrew apps, run custom ROMS (This is ace!), tweak system files to make the OS run faster, unsigned themes,install non-google app stores.....

    The list is massive - Check out http://forum.xda-developers.com to get up to date with everything.

    Its the first thing I did with my HERO.
