What's new in this version (2.4.1):
Version 2.4.1
* Added higher heap values (use with care!)
* Added ICS UI compatibility
* Added partial XHDPI icon support
* Updated icons
Version 2.3.0
* Fix Android bug causing FC on non-rooted devices
Version 2.2.0
* Added CM compatibility (thanks to Joshua)
Description
Requires *FULL ROOT* (aka S-OFF or NAND unlock) and *BUSYBOX*. Please use Busybox version 1.17.x as 1.18.x compile is broken!
Allows to change the Dalvik VM heap size to give demanding applications more heap space (thus decreasing frequency of garbage collection) to speed-up your device and improve overall performance including battery life. YMMV though.
Please note that changing the heap size may affect the stability of your device and therefore use this app with care!
Special thanks for helping out go to Stephan and Anthony :)

Does not work Hero 2.1 does not reboot and settings don't stay after manual reboot.

Far easier than manually changing it. Works great. HTC Droid Incredible/Sky Raider 3.3.2/kingxklick kernel #5@1113MHz
