Win 2k, xp, 2k3 + .net framework
RAM: minimum: 1 GB (+very, very fast paging file). To cook comfortably: 1.5 GB
CPU: I was using Centrino 1.4 GHz and it was enough.
HD: 180MB free. If you want to make backup of every version (it is useful to find errors): 180MB per version. For example: I have backed up 29 subversions before releasing my 1st release, 13 subversions before second release.
Good text editor (I'm using UltraEdit).
low ram
is there possibilty of not booting, or bricking the device with a ROM whihc is cooked with a low RAM , like 256MB

Less RAM - set a lot of virtual memory. Total (virtual + phisical) at least 2GB.
Cooking will be very sloooooooooooooow, but with good results.
sectors
cooked a ROM with explodes latest kitchen, but at the end of cooking process it does not say anything about free sectors,
Im afraid to flash the ROM, since I may brick da device
any suggesion
Only one : Do you really read the output given by the command shell?
And yes we are speaking about CreateROM.bat, but you know it since you read the guide and so on...
yes

You have selected too many packages.
defaults
its only da defaults that are selected, I guess it not much
ok, done
I guess it was the low, which causes the problem, upgraded my RAM to 1.24GB, now no problme,

Hi guys, I have a problem with RAM.
I have 4GB RAM but Windows Vista recognise only 2.5.
Do you know any solution?
Except changing to 64bit OS.
Hi there, Vista 32-bit can only use up to 3.5 GB. Not more. But still you miss 1 Gb if you really mean 2.5. Be aware that you graphics may also use shared memory!
Best regards,

could be the motherboard? Might not support 4gb
Has your pc EVER recognised all of the RAM?

Try doing 'Clear NV RAM' and 'Load Defaults' in the system BIOS, that might help.
Hi,
i want to partition my 8gb class 6 sd card with RA-dream-v1.5.2.
I use CyanogenMod the newest version and the HardSPL+newest Radio...
Which size would be making sense for swap and ext4???
I think for ext about 500mb, or???
And what is with swap size?
Thanks for help

well, as many of the threads posted by devs say, 512 is a good recommended ext size. as far as swap goes, you don't really need it for any CM builds. that isn't to say you can't use it. I always have my card partitioned at about 6.5gb fat32, 512 ext3 and 40 for swap because i got tired of repartitioning it everytime i wanted to flash a hero or eclair.
So i don't need swap for CyanogenMod???
Should i although give swap size 96???

Cyanogen does not use swap by default and it will not be activated unless you make it so. I would just because if you go to a rom that uses swap you won't need to repartition
Ok, so i make no swap, thanks....

Super-D & Wesgarner's roms are faster.Might wanna try those out.Cyan is good for those that want just the stability and normal speed.
But for those I need Danger SPL, or???
Are they stable like CyanogenMod???

they're a lil bit more iffy. i can't say for sure as i haven't given either of them a fair chance on my device, but from what i've heard, they're speedier. but for supreme stability, Cyan is the best. and just to be clear, you don't NEED swap for cyanogen, but it's always good to have it just in case you want to test out a hero or eclair build, you know?
and i'm not sure, but i think those do require the danger spl, but honestly, if you read the directions and know what you're doing, you can accomplish is with great success. i've done it twice already and both times have worked flawlessly.

You are right, they need the Danger spl
Yeah, but the question is, if i need an other rom than Cyan...
Have the roms any more functions or something else???
The Cyan has the advantage that i can Update with only my G1 and have often updates+many themes...
I heard that the Hero Roms haven't bluetooth, what i don't find good.
Are their else any differences or why do many people use hero or eclair roms???

for one thing, hero is GORGEOUS. eclair has supreme features and it's really sexy too. as of right now, eclair is my rom of choice, with a backup of cyanogen for stability. the only downside for eclair really is the camcorder, which will be worked out once htc releases the drivers. camera works now, as does practically everything else.
so to answer your question, yes, other builds have other features. but in essence, it's a matter of personal preference. if you want stability with good speed, cyanogen is a great choice. if you want a gorgeous look on your phone with awesome widgets, go with hero. for the latest features, then eclair is your rom. it's a matter of what you want.
Ok, so i think then i test hero and ecliar...
First i have to install danger SPL, have anyone good and safe tutorial???
And what are the best hero/eclair roms???
???????????????????????????????????
Super D
Just my 2 cents - I've found SuperD just as stable as Cyanogen, actually more so - never had an fc problem since installing 1.5 and then 1.6. If you've got DangerSPL/don't need it because you're on a MT3G, then definitely give it a whirl. i was really shocked by how good it is. Same with Dwang, although there's less in the way of goodies. Haven't tried WG yet.
I keep a swap partition on my card - 64mb personally. even if the rom ain't using it, it stops me from losing my data going to hero/eclair as mentioned above.
But with hero and eclair i have no bluetooth, or???
What i have to do now?
My SD 8gb sd card is partitioned: 96mb swap, 512 ext4
I have to update to danger spl and then??? Install a easiliy the rom, or have i to wipe or something when i change rom???

Please HELP!!!
so i got cyanogen's 4.2.12.2 loaded. apps on SD.
the phone is kinda slow, but the biggest concern is that it stalls/freezes for few seconds and stops responding, then works just fine. it happens a lot. it makes my overall usage experience a sluggish one. all i have left in internal memory is 27 MB ! why? shouldn't apps be on sd. is that cache that being used up every time an app is running in the background? not really sure i understand whats happening. i know i have over 100 apps on there, but i thought they should be running off of my SD.
i'm growing tired of the phone. is it possible to speed it up? can i get some memory back without sacrificing too many apps?
Try going to the android market and downloading the "overclock widget", and also snag the free task manager and then add the widget to your phones desktop so that way you can kill the apps and set the clock with over clock.
That should help your problem broski.
Cyanogenmod is a bloated pig.
Look in the dev section for enomther's "expansion pack". It basically adds on some extra features to a more-or-less stock rom. Performance is phenomenal.
my concern is the internal phone storage. i don't understand why it's dropping. i see people reporting 40 and 50 MB for internal storage while having 100+ apps.
how is that possible? what am i doing wrong.
by the way, my current internal memory size (based on taskpanel widget) is 17 MB!!!
Try a different rom....i suggest WG Build Y 2.6 or Super D, they are fast and stable.

Super D is based off of dwang/Cyan...HTCClay is the orig person that started Super-D but he stopped development and gave it to BB.
Enom's is really good, its stock and doesnt have a bunch of hacks and its still faster than cyan.Expsetup is a good addon from the expansion pack.

I would tell this guy to re-partition, wipe everything under wipe, and then flash
overall, i like cyanogen's mods. i'd like to keep it if i could.
i installed PeakMemUsage and took a look at whats using up most of the memory
- Android system/checkin service 30 MB
- Quick search box/home/google 26 MB
- better keyboard 14 MB
- weather widgets 17 MB
- My Account 15 MB
- Dialer 16 MB
is this normal?

then go with SuperD - superficially it looks the same - all the same additions from eclair, spare parts etc, but a hell of a lot faster.

Here you go:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=613809
I'm pretty sure Super D just uses the 10mb ram hack and compcache - no linux swap support, but I've you've already got a partition on your card (I've got 64mb myself) it won't hold it up - it just won't be used. you can keep your partition setup, just wipe everything (I use amon ra recovery - can't remember if wipe ext and cache is on cyan's build) and flash the update. I'm on an HTC magic 32B, so haven't needed to go down the SPL/radio update because stock can cope with it, but if you're on a G1 then you'll need to do it *very carefully*. if you don't follow the inx you can brick your phone.
if you want to keep your apps use backup for root users - it can be a bit iffy, so i tend to just redownload everything from the market - your downloads are remembered, so it only takes a few minutes.
i stayed with cyan's roms for ages - very user friendly and stable, but it's worth experimenting to see which you like best. if you've got a class 6 card then check out some of the eclair roms for the live wallpaper stuff, superD,m dwang and WG for speed and stability and espresso for prettiness.
Which is faster? Super D or xROM (Eclair)?
Hi fellows!
I have a nexus one, witch should have 512mb RAM, but only shows 199mb.
I read that's because of the kernel, don't know if that's true...
Does anybody knows if there is a kernel or a intire ROM that runs all of the 512mb RAM? Thanks
ALL kernels and ROMs do, unless you're still stuck with Eclair (2.1). Read some more.
If it run all 512mb ona rom, where is room for your data?
Reason it only show about 199 cause the rest is taken up by system apps.

Please don't post if you're clueless. Unless he's referring to 200M of free ram, he's either on an ancient kernel or he's completely confused.
What you are referring to is storage, which has nothing to do with ram.

Hello devs,
Our htc one is the greatest and powerful smartphone in the market. but still it have many drawbacks. The biggest is that it does not support ext sd card. And in 32 gb model there is only 25.49 gb available to the users.
I know this left out space is for OS and rom types memories and some tools...But 6.5 gb is very huge space..
So can we increase this internal storage to more like in many low end devices like explorer, wildfire, wildfire s, desire, etc..
Plz devss make a fix for it as i know you guyz can only make this..
You guyz are great.. thanxx
Best of luck devs

Not that huge imo. A stock ruu.zip is about 1.1gb compressed and some space required for cache, app data and user data.

you can't... it's just space that isn't there for you. there are several other partitions that use the memory... so you won't get these gigs.. and you also have to calculate these 32 Gigs like this:
32 Gigabytes for intelligent people: 2^30*32 bytes! -> 34'359'738'368
32 Gigabytes for vendors: 10^9*32 bytes! -> 32'000'000'000
And there you see... then just calculate this way and you get what the android system shows you:
(32*10^9)/(2^30) = 29.9 Gigabytes...
What you see now: You lose(at cause of other partitions) about 4.3 Gigybytes... so that's what you actually can get... but remember, the system and all the other partitions are very important too, and stealing their space could cause insability!
