As a free alternative i can recommend SD-Booster with similar functionality. Also, SD Maid might be helpful in cleaning your system.

After using s-booster for a day, I was getting a lot of sd card related issues with it un mounting, not being able to access folders, games crashing, etc. Reverting back to my default settings fixed it. Not sure why it would cause such problems, but it did.

    How could you include Barnacle instead of "Wireless Tether for Root Users"? That's a miss, IMO.

    I have just one question... I have rooted my HTC Magic 2.2.1 few minutes ago and i was wondering if SetCPU is worth buying to get more performance... I suposse yes because all the opinions are very favorable but i just prefer to confirm it... (I just hate wasting money and later regret it)...

    Thanks a lot.

    Totally worth it. But you could find the donate version on these forums.
