<div>1. I lost root after the flash. All links point to
GingerBreak but multiple attempts didn't work. I now read
that someone noticed it's done after leaving it for 2.5
hours so I'll try it again - I stopped it after letting it
run for an hour. If you know of anything better then I'd
love to hear.<br>

Yeah, you'll always lose rose if you flash back to a stock image.<br>
Did GingerBreak help you?<br>
Otherwise just flash any rooted / insecure kernel.<br>
(And then download su.apk etc...)<br>
<br>
Alternatively flash a custom ROM, which will have this all done for
you.<br>

2. Hebrew keyboard - in Froyo I used "Keyboard from
Gingerbread" with a Hebrew language pack, both from the
market. But the Hebrew language pack says it doesn't suite a
"real" gingerbread environment.<br>

Well, I'm currently using the SlideIT keyboard (like Swype but it's
Israeli, had Hebrew support long before, and I found it has better
'error correction').<br>
<br>
The popular hebrew keyboard has always been the AnySoftKeyboard,
haven't used it in ages though.<br>

3. Battery life - what else can I do to extend it as this
was my main problem with Froyo and I'm not sure how well GB
does so far (but only one day of experience).<br>

Often ROMs have various tweaks to help with this.<br>
<br>
On my S1, I was using PilotX ROM and had great battery life; that
was still Froyo though, but maybe there's an update by now.<br>
<br>
Don't forget, you may need to recallibrate the battery (more on this
elsewhere... it involves wiping the battery stats from recovery and
doing a few full full-empty-full cycles (i think from the lower
level charger when you don't turn on the phone).<br>
<br>
If you use something like OSMonitor and find that kswapd is always
using lots of CPU, you can change some of the vm settings with
sysctl... I don't recall off hand but I can check for you if you
can't find it... vm_dirty or something, and I think one other one.<br>
<br>
Good luck!<br>
