How do you move an app shortcut between launcher screens?
So I have a few icons and folders on the leftmost launcher screen. I want to move them to the middle one.

I tried a couple of overclocking apps such as SetCPU and CPU Master, but none of them let me actually "over"-clock the CPU, because I can't set the maximum to be more than the default 528 MHz. I have read about speeds of 624 and/or 710 MHz possi...

What is this "com.android.backupconfirm"?
What is the package on my phone that is called `com.android.backupconfirm`? I tried Googling and found an answer on a random forum that said that is the UI for the backup confirmation dialog.
