Yes, I have silenced all the bloatware that came with it (Blockbuster, City ID, etc), removed the camera shutter sound (no, i'm not a creeper - it just annoys me), moved cache data to the SD card (saves space on internal memory). I haven't played with over / under clocking yet, but there are several apps that will allow you to do so to gain speed or conserve battery power.

Then there is also the free wifi hotspot apps that let you turn your phone into a wifi hotspot without paying the monthly fee to your carrier (carrier obviously frowns on this, but as long as you don't abuse it and rack up multiple GBs worth of transfer monthly the odds of them seeking you out for it are pretty much nil).
