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.

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)?
Ok, my friend has the hero for sprint and it keeps saying his phone storage space is getting low. Its making his phone run very slow and I said i'd help him fix it. Can you guys pleeeaaassseee help me?

Go to Settings > SD card and Storage and see what it says for free internal memory. I remember getting that message when mine was under 15 MB. I had too many apps on internal memory. I switched to a ROM that had apps2sd and now I have 100+ MB Free.

Sweet! His phone isn't rooted yet but I'm good with knowing how to root phones. What ROM has that apps2sd app thou? I have a samsung fascinate soo I don't know much about the hero lol. And its a stock ROM rom btw
1sT GeAr, U MaD??
Almost all ROMs now have apps2sd integrated.
If your friend wants to stay "stock" with the Sense UI, anything by nfinitefx45 is quality. He just released a ROM based on the newest Sprint release this morning! Check it out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849024
If you want something completely new, froyo AOSP, check out CyanogenMod 6.1 RC1.. it's perfectly stable.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755795
With both you'll get a lot more internal memory than stock ROM. If you still want A2SD, it's built in nfinitefx45's, and if you want it for CM6 then just run the easy froyo a2sdext in my signature. Just partition the SD card to ext2 and then upgrade from ext2 to ext3 before installing nfinitefx and it will work automatically. If using with CM6, partition anytime before running the script.

Exactly right, or for no sense but more speed, try CM 6.1.0
Or try AOSP!

low memory
Low memory can slow down the phone... lag the hell out of it if there is no room for "working" memory. You won't be able to view photos or listen to musice if you have too much on your phone. Been there done that flashed on cm6 no problems since.
Hello!
Im currently running GDX v28b with alfs v8a kernel. I didn't make any big tweaks so far, only overlocking and SuperCharger.
Is making ext3/4 and swap partitons on microsd worthy? Can i really make my X8 faster thanks to this? I heard swap can shorter microsd life-span. I have 16gb 6-class microsd card. How much can it shorten it's life-span?
What are other tweaks i can do to make my x8 faster?
Thanks for the answers!
yes, i uninstalled the unused apps too. i'm just wandering how could i do more . thanks for your help and i'm waiting for more opinions
Actually the ROM you are using is pretty much tweak for performance and I guess adding more that your not certain of might cause problem to its performance. Btw do you play on your phone a lot?
No, i don't play a lot, but sometimes when i have to quit one app and load another one the phone is very laggy. That's why i thought about applying some more tweaks to the phone .
Thats normal because of our device low memory. You can try Ram Manager.
btw supercharger is tweaks too,so many tweak include there are 3g turbo charger,kickass kernelizer,flush engine,etc...
but if you need more tweak you can try "jimdem droid"...its easy to installing

Hi guys. My uncle gifted me this device with CM Mod 3 month ago. Now this device lags as nokia 5800 .
I have only 72 mb of 256 free RAM space .. I cant play Trial Extreme 3 and so on.... I run Opera and Vk , and my device cant open any other applicantion.
Processor overclocked on 1Mhgz and i use JiT ( setuped in cm settings)
It surely needs a swap partition. Read other topics how to set such a partition on the sd card.
Sory but i dont understand, i need to swap a partition for more Ram ? Or better to setup CM 10 with android 4.2 ?
Swap partition is a partition you create on your sd card. It supports your phone with extra memory and its capacity. You can use mini mod by fufu to setup swap, ext partitions.
If you want to set up Cm 10 on your milestone, you can't make it without ext. The swap partition is required too.
Cm10 will work faster or slower? I can make 1gb swap , i have 32gb flash, cuz i only want very fast phone
Definitely it is cm7. Much faster and smoother. The thing is, Milestone is kind of outdated phone in terms of hardware (some say it has pretty good cpu, but has to be overclocked anyway), thus you cannot expect miracles. I would sick to cm 7.
CM7 is your choise
