    It works flawlessly

    To restore the apps?

    I had a red X in the free version beside the restore option and in brackets (pro version only) but I could be wrong

    The pro version is worth it anyway IMO

    My apps are backed up weekly to Google drive

    Yep used it today to restore old apps from my xperia x10 on to the NEO when I put the sd card in :)

    But yes it would easily be worth the purchase price,that and ES File Explorer,although the latter is free anyway :)

    And we are back in action :)

    For future reference, once you have already installed a recovery image,holding power and volume+ will boot you into it :)

    OK now what's next ;)

    I agree Gravity Box well worth it, I have android docking station . Because charging slot was at top phone was upside down and screen wouldn't rotate when using it. A nuisance. Since I put gravity box on it lets it rotate, Great

    The 2gb refers to RAM I think, use clean master to clean the RAM as it gets full, that's what I did.
    I did put in a 32gb card though but it failed to transfer the Margato ROM correctly.

    ok as far as i can tell the 2GB is where apps get installed,if you have an sdcard installed you can move some of them there,

    At the moment the 32GB is only for putting files on yourself manually,

    There is also 2GB of memory which is a separate thing and it is this that clean master can clear,

    There are a few workarounds but i havent needed to try them yet :)

    the second 2gb you talk about is RAM.
    Have a look here if you'd like to understand it. http://www.google.ie/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CC0QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.webopedia.com%2FTERM%2FR%2FRAM.html&ei=GUjPUrjRGub07Abxv4DYCA&usg=AFQjCNEQNRrq9HSkt65pXPu7ZiR1YL1uiQ&sig2=yFzwtIZnz49oXmKp_0DLEQ&bvm=bv.59026428,d.ZGU

    You can set it so that when you leave an app it automatically kills it, not taking up some of your RAM.
    with 2GB of ram it shouldn't really be an issue.
