[Q] Total noob I flashed 10.1 everything works but .. - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I followed the directions for installing CM10.1 on my 32G Touchpad on the "Easy Way" thread. I used the ACMEinstaller5E. I put the 20131019 build in the cminstall folder with the gapps and the cwm6. Everything works. Apps updated (I had CM9 on for a long time) and all seems ok and working. However, I noticed that my internal storage is now at 1.5G ( I assume the 5E did that) but only 300M is free. That seems like a lot is in use. I had made a nandroid backup of CM9 before i started and went straight over 9. Is the backup sitting in internal memory, I wonder.
Does having only 300M free of 1.5 seem like something is wrong? I believe I have 52 apps.
The other thing I discovered, since I have to push buttons, is that in the recovery or moboot menu when you first turn on the machine, there is an entry for Evervolv and an entry for CM. The first time the TP rebooted after the 10.1 install all the apps updated. Well after I turned off and restarted the TP, I did not expect to see Evervolv on the menu, but I entered it any way. No Problems. Started right up. Showed the 4.1.2 build and everything worked. Decided to see what happens when I chose the CM entry instead of the Evervolv. Took forever to boot and all the apps updated again. Again, it was the same 4.1.2 build and everything appeared the same either way I started; through Evervolv or CM.
So.. where is all that memory being used? And is it unusual to see both the Evervolv and CM choices in the boot menu?
Thanks for any insight you could give me.

I have about 40 or so apps installed and looking in settings/apps shows I have 1gb of storage space used on a 4gb /data partition. I'm guessing it would depend on the app as to how much space on /data it would take up
Using terminal emulator and typing df will display sizes of partitions and how much space is being used.
Your boot options as displayed by moboot depend on what is in /boot. You could use a rooted file explorer such as es file manager to delete any entries you don't want, but be careful what you do delete! If you're running cyanogen mod then its safe to delete the evervolv entry - this gets left behind if evervolv is installed then cm installed at a later date.
Hope this helps...
Peace

Success installing Nookie Froyo 0.6.6 using CWR -- n00b guide

Hi, I'd post a reply here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883175&page=75 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938200&page=18 but this is my first post so I cannot post a reply
Here were my steps to get it all together. For reference, here is the link in the dev section (that I can't respond to).
Background: The 1.1 update installed without my knowing on a rooted 1.0.0 NC. It would go to the intro animation and would stall and restart in an infinite loop. I decided to take the plunge to Nookie Froyo on the eMMC.
I had also installed Customized Nookie Froyo 0.5.9 on a Patriot Class 10 card and it was painfully slow and market was not working. When I did this with the latest version to the eMMC it was fast and did not have any problems in either regard.
Steps:
-- Burning the image --
I unzipped and followed directions for my Mac OS X system: http://nookdevs.com/Nookie_FroYo:_Burning_a_bootable_SD_card
I booted off the SD Card, literally turn it on with the new MicroSD in there, this is the Clockwork Recovery
I went into "mounts and storage" Formatted boot, system, and data in that order. The volume keys are navigation, N button is select, and power is back. After formatting "boot" I had to restart by holding down the power key for some reason (non-responsive), but it was fine.
I then went to Wipe my Cache BEFORE restoring. I know the instructions place it last, but think about it. You want to clear everything before hand rather than after you've re-imaged it.
Then I restored the zip. You will have to select the zip.
Twiddle your thumbs. When it's done writing, you'll know cause it'll say done. Now you can take out your SD card. Go back to the Main Menu of CWR and select reboot. It'll pop you out to Nookie FROYO!
First things, first. Unlock, and then re-lock, this gets rid of lag.
Set up your Wireless, then set up an Account for Gmail in Settings > Accounts.
I then went into "Settings->Applications->Manage Applications-> Google Services Framework -> Clear Data" There was no Cache for the Market at this point.
I let it sync everything, while I set other things up (e-mail acct, time, and etc)
Then I went into Market to get Appbrain. Success!
When I synced with Appbrain I still couldn't "see" certain apps in the Market. So I went into:
Settings->Applications->Manage Applications-> Market->Clear Cache and
Settings->Applications->Manage Applications-> Google Services Framework -> Clear Data
AND REBOOT
I then saw a lot of the other apps, but couldn't find Angry Birds :-(
Finally, wanted to see how it performs as an eReader, but when I stuck my SD card in there. Crap, couldn't see it at all
Had ADB installed which is necessary and run these commands with these vold files found here ( http://dl.dropbox.com/u/313036/volds.zip ): http://forum.androidcentral.com/bar...ion-install-nookie-froyo-internal-memory.html (as well as on xda-net.
Couple of things with ADB, the screen must be on, otherwise the device goes offline and you're get protocol errors. The reboot never happened on its own, so I did it manually. SD card is recognized!
Couldn't be happier. Works very well. It's speedy without the 1.1Ghz kernels.
Those were my experiences. It's rather straightforward.
Oh forgot to mention one CAVEAT. My Power button is really really sensitive now. Like a capacitive charge turns it on (I am putting absolutely no pressure on it). Any workarounds for this?
I am enjoying the 0.6.6 flashable Nookie Froyo experience. But, I haven't yet figured out how to get the Market App on the device. Am I missing something obvious?
you should be able to find the apk in the dev section, install via adb
I'd recommend installing CUSTOMIZED Nookie Froyo as opposed to Nookie Froyo which is very vanilla whereas the customized version has a lot of things already set up -- such as the Market, Google Apps, Softkeys and SuperUser.
where does one find this CUSTOMIZED version. i assume not on xdda becaue it includes gapps>?

kexec for HP TouchPad (WORKING release!)

kexec is now fully working!
Kexec host kernel: https://github.com/willcast/ubuntu-kernel-tenderloin branch is "kexec"
Graphical bootloader: https://github.com/willcast/kexecboot
Compiled host kernel uImage UPDATED: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4WUjKii92l2RHJoNE93c2dVRlU/edit?usp=sharing
THE ATTACHED KERNEL PATCH (decomp_copy_atags.diff) _MUST_ BE APPLIED for ANY kernel to be bootable FROM kexec.
YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ko_4cOj_5iM
Kexec kernel and OS installation is best performed through SmackMe2, which is available in its own thread on this site.
I have no idea what you are saying, but keep up the great work!
Keep up the good work man , one question with you work in the future can we delete web os from the touchpad forever?
I imagine that's already possible. Use lvm to delete all the logical volumes not tied to another OS and then delete the uImage.webOS symlink. That deletes webOS, frees mostof its space and removes it from the moboot menu.
If you choose to do that, though, using the doctor to restore WEBOS will be even more difficult because you'll have to wipe out everything AND potentially need to "unbrick" your TP (using the method involving NovaCom, the small boot image ripped from the doctor and a string of LVM commands that is posted on sone or other forum.)
Lvm? Can you make a tutorial? How to remove webos from touchpad?
Thank you
Before this is complete or posted for testing, I think we will need a tutorial and links to files of how to fix the tp from a full brick such as issues with removing and restoring webos.
Great job if your boot loader works as planned we will have a full multi-boot device with a few restrictions(drivers for untested ports, etc).
Keep it up.

Awesome that you're resuming development castrwilliam! Can't help you with kexec though, sorry. I hang around in the Motorola Defy forums and some developers like Quarx have tried pursuing the kexec route in order to load custom kernels onto the Defy, might be worthwhile to throw him a PM. Would be great to have a more flexible bootloader!
I anyone needs a full restore, this thread helped me out. I followed the instructions when I screwed up and doctored without removing partitions. I believe WebOS Doctor handles repartitioning, so it should work:

WORKING (but non-Kexec) Android multiboot for TouchPad.
DON'T TRY ANYTHING UNTIL YOU HAVE READ THE WHOLE POST!!
Beta 2 Updated with support for my Froyo Qcom kang.
I created a script that can install multiple versions of Android on the HP Touchpad, side by side, such that they can be selected at the MoBoot menu and operate independently. The script modifies them, on the Touchpad itself, to work with the new names for the partitions.
I want your feedback on this installer. It is used in the same way as ACME Installer but only shares one line of actual code with it (and it also uses the same binaries and config files on the initial ramdisk image, but they are Open Source so that should'nt matter.) I'll be posting this on XDA in a minute, my username there is also "castrwilliam".
If you do choose to use (TEST!) this:
- You need to create a folder on your media partition (the one that is shown when you select USB mode) with the following zips:
moboot [moboot_0.3.5.zip]
(the rest are optional but I recommend using them all so that you can help me test everything)
Froyo Test [Froyo-2.2.1-Qcom-Kang-Touchpad-a0.1-incl-gapps.zip]
CM7 alpha3.5 [update-cm-7.1.0-tenderloin-a3.5-fullofbugs.zip]
CM9 latest nightly [cm-9-xxxxxxxx-NIGHTLY-tenderloin.zip]
CM10 latest preview [cm-10-xxxxxxxx-EXPERIMENTAL-tenderloin-FOR_LIMITED_TESTING_ONLY_CAM.zip]
2.3.x gapps [gapps-gb-xxxxxxxx.zip]
4.0.x gapps [gapps-ics-xxxxxxxx.zip]
4.1.x gapps [gapps-jb-xxxxxxxx.zip] MAKE SURE not to use 4.2 gapps!
(NO Android Recovery will work yet, so don't try. It will reject TWRP and CWM at least.)
- If you already have Android and/or Moboot and/or native Linux (Ubuntu, etc.) installed:
* back up any data on your media volume. webOS should back up your apps for you.
* make both a nandroid (which WON'T work to restore in a multiboot config, but if you go back to single boot, it will be fine) and a Titanium backup [which should be portable to the same OS.]
* run ACMEUninstaller and then run SmackMe-Installer.
* if you have native Linux, backup your /etc and /home (I recommend the lovely GNU tar and gzip/bzip2). That should be the majority of what to keep.
* ALSO uninstall any native Linux you may be using after you back it up.
* lastly unzip and novacom boot the SmackMe-Installer.
If you don't already have Android, MoBoot OR native Linux, just:
* back up any data on your media volume. webOS should back up your apps for you.
* then unzip and novacom boot the SmackMe-Installer.

Can i remove webos with this multiboot? And stay only on android and ubuntu?
This is strictly an installer. I was going to write a webOS removal script. However, android doesn't have the needed binaries. That leaves me two options: make another thing like SmackMe to do it or do it under whatever version of native Ubuntu you are running. Either way, I really don't want to have to test it myself. If I need to I'll have to doctor my touchpad EVERY TIME I do it. That's a lot of doctoring and a lot of flash write wear. So the answer is basically "find me a dev that wants to remove webos too. They'll either make you one or beta test mine." Sorry man.
Amazing keep up the good work castrwilliam !
Strange request
Hey, does anyone here still have the 2011 Froyo (2.2.1) system dump for Touchpad? It wasn't CM6, just something that HP accidentally released and someone over at Rootzwiki dumped. I'm posting this here because I have no account and they'd think I'm a noob there. All the links are down to it and I want to try messing around with its files, just for kicks. Maaaaybe I can get it to boot, and add support for it to the SmackMe installer, so at least I can have *four* versions of Android on my touchpad.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1234381
You know, 'cause I'm just that crazy.
Wow it's been hard to find it but i think this is the good dump:
http://download.digiex.net/Consoles/Tablets/HP-Touchpad-Android2.2.1-Disk-Images.zip
sources:
http://digiex.net/downloads/downloa...hpad-android-2-2-1-system-image-download.html
it's alive! (sorta)
Somebody on XDA found a link that I thought was dead. It was the mmc dump of someone who had Froyo leaked by HP onto their fire-sale Touchpad.
FAQ:
"Obviously nobody wants this. Everybody's running Jelly Bean."
That's exectly why I did it. My point is to do the most outrageous and downright unnecessary things possible with commonplace hardware.
"What doesn't work?"
Rotation, sound, wi-fi, softkeys (i.e. Home, Back, Menu, Search.)
"What does work?"
Camera (OH HAYULL YA), touchscreen, battery reading, power button, volume button (but it dosen't matter b/c sound is borked).
"I can haz Modded Froyo?!"
Not yet.
YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zX29IcTIB14
Hah awesome work, I think you hold the record of most different OS'es on one device now! It looks quite functional already.
Oh and about the "Obviously nobody wants this. Everybody's running Jelly Bean." quote, I only run WebOS and your Ubuntu 12.10 port on the TP!
As soon as I get my power button sorted out I am on this!
Sent from my slim_tenderloin using xda app-developers app
Hey everyone! Froyo here!
I've just zipped up my Froyo kang such that it will work if flashed from SmackMe, and if you're crazy enough to run it alone, hopefully also Android recovery.
sound works!!
The Wi-Fi works now BUT YOU NEED A STATIC IP ADDRESS. (problems with dhcpcd)
The buttons are hacked to work (by my new shell script: /system/bin/buttond, check it out) as follows:
Volume Down is Back
Volume Up is Menu
Center is Home.
Obviously once the audio works (if ever) that will be an issue. My embarrassing secret (at least probably to the devs here) is that I don't know Java. That makes it difficult to mod on any touchscreen buttons...
The real audio library is /system/lib/libaudioflinger.real.so and the stub one (default via a symlink) is /system/lib/audioflinger.so. Using the real one causes bootloops.
Auto rotation still won't function.
Google Apps and even Facebook are included in this ROM. (It's not CM6.) So are some potentially geeky Qualcomm apps.
Don't set up your Google Account during first boot, because it will ask you to slide the keyboard open. That sounds pretty impossible onn this device. Set it up from Settings later, and you shouldn't have that issue.

I wanted to try froyo soo bad when I heard about those dumps last year (I think) lol. I still want to try it.
Now, if I read correctly, I can flash this from TWRP/CWM right?

It should work from that. I only tried with my SmackMeInstaller from the last page. That said... MAKE A NANDROID, because it WILL delete your current Android install, and if anything goes wrong (or even if it works but you see a CWM/TWRP error/warning), tell me and I'll fix it.

[Q] Two Touchpads I Can't Flash, Multiple Issues-HELP!

On the 32 GB:
On this one it downloads the .zip but when I attempt to flash it, it does not do anything; here are the reasons/issues:
*On this one the volume works backwards. That should be the download I made which is an older one.
*I did not partition this tablet because I figured it has the memory to operate properly.
*About tablet:
Android version 4.1.2
Cyanogenmod version: 10-20130418-EXPERIMENTAL-tenderloin-FOR_LIMITED_TESTING_ONLY_CAM
Build: Thu Apr 18 00:04:59 CDT 2013
Memory 864 MB
model no. cm-tenderloin
CPU ARMv7, Processor rev2 (V7l)
*TWRP message: "Root is required for this app" WTH??
*ROM Manager msg:"You must root your phone for ROM Manager to function. Superuser was not found at "/system/bin/su" or "/system/xbin/su". Use Google Search on your computer to find instructions to root your phone --->OK.
*SuperUser: I have four logs, 10/3/2013 Voodoo OTA RootKeeper; three are allowed, one is created.
*Voodoo OTA Root Keeper v. 2.0.3
*Checked statuses on this app: Superuser app installed, /system supports root protection.
Hope this information helps, if this causes issues with you guys when it comes to following different solutions I NEED THEM IN A SPECIFIC ORDER (not shouting but stating the obvious) for the flash to function properly on the tablet. I deleted apps and skimmed through the File Manager and deleted unnecessary files but did not touch anything that was downloaded with the Android.
Please please be kind with me! I downloaded with YouTube and my family has enjoyed the tablet tremendously now that it has Android, especially with our Chromecast.

32 GB Stuck At Order And Flash Selected
UPDATE: 16 GB Updated Successfully! Didn't do anything in particular, it just worked .
Now the 32 GB is stuck on the same spot as before, where it doesn't allow me to flash. Same issues at above. I have combed the threads but I am concerned on what to fix first, in order for the tablet to work smoothly. If you believe I have to flash from the desktop, please let me know.

Bypassed TWRP Root Message, Read Below

It says that it's installing my update plus a new gapps file, I selected:
Backup
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik
I downloaded OpenRecovery--->never ran, it's not inside the GooMgr folder. There's that arrow swipe to unlock, it does not do anything. Left or right, still it says it's downloading both files.

MODERATOR: Please close this thread
Update:
Roland sent me a message to flash that tablet from my computer then it will fix the issues, and I did. After this happened, Goo.im popped that I had a new OS update, and it flashed on the tablet.
Thanks to Roland for the helpful information. Now both are up to date with the same updates and running smoothly :victory:

[Q] Dynamic Kat 1.4 Lost root

Since I'm mostly a lurker and I rarely run into issues that someone hasn't already run into, I don't have the post count to post on the actual Dynamic 1.4 thread. But I'm a little stumped. I seem to have lost root, and when I run anything in SS I get multiple I/O errors referencing data/data/chainfire su files.
I came from knoxraid. Installed new safestrap. wiped. Installed 1.0 from SS then 1.4 from SS. Set up the phone. Restored apps. Set up my favorite xposed modules. All was good for a few hours then I noticed I didn't get a full screen call ID on a call. I went in to check xposed and all the modules were unchecked. I tried to install/update but it said xposed wasn't compatible with my version. So I uninstalled xposed and tried reinstalling. Now it errors on install with "Can't install, free up space and try again" I have plenty of space, but I noticed the last I/O error I get in SS refers to data/data/xposed something or other. So I did the whole wipe and start with 1.0 process over, but nothing changed. No root. And I don't know if the I/O errors are keeping SS from wiping system when it installs, so I'm wary about installing another rom just to see if it works. But I can still boot into SS.
So I'm not sure which direction to go from here.
The errors are:
E:error: I/O error
E:error opening '/data/data/eu.chainfire.supersu/logs'
E:error opening '/data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer'
" " " /data/data/eu.chainfire.supersu/requests
fix permissions didn't work. An extra error was "unable to chmod data/data/eu.chainfire.supersu/requests"
I can't access those files using file explorer in SS.
Well if anyone runs into a similar issue- I wasn't able to install any applications after that as well.
A wipe from stock recovery fixed it. Although it wiped a lot more than I had anticipated
Was the installation on the stock slot? That is where it needs to be. Get your post count up so you can join us!

Yeah I made sure to use stock slot. And everything was fine for a few hours. I really don't think it had anything to do with the rom. I'm leaning towards and install/enable/unistall/disable process that I was burning through on xposed, since the locked up files were su and xposed. And I had other apps downloading and installing in the background. I just gotta learn to slow down. Got everything set up today and it's running beautifully. I was on your Dynamic GPE for JB and it was my favorite. I gave the KK version of knoxraid a shot but got super excited when I saw SS had updated and I could go back to dynamic without odin.
It was fun now that it's fixed. I hadn't been into stock recovery since the old DX days. I didn't realize a data wipe from there took out just about everything on internal storage. Good thing I had the important stuff backed up.
I've been following your work for a while. And you sir, are fantastic. :good:

[ROM/A1/Recovery][Wifi+3G+TMobile][4.4.4/2.8][Oct 27]Omni Based Rom and TWRP

Summarized Standard Disclaimer: use at your own risk. I use it at mine.
*Full wipe recommended if coming from another kitkat rom*
MAKE SURE TO HAVE A BROWSER APK. THERE IS NO MORE STOCK BROWSER. For firefox see below.
My personal build "Diamond Rom 4.4" is based on omnirom with the following additions:
CM Calculator (the newly redone one they're proud of)
CM File Manager
CM Wallpapers
Bash shell
Nano text editor
Powertop
Koush's full featured open source superuser (and it's INTEGRATED into settings :cyclops: )
Carbon rom blue balls wallpaper
Cyanogenmod port of 2 column settings adapted to Omni rom.
Omni floating window
I've added a few of my personal touches which include
Batter circle color changing: green 100%-51% yellow 50%-16% red 15%-0% This was my favorite I9000M framework-res mod that I've missed since switching to CM7.2 way back.
Killed lock screen music full screen (personal privacy thing when riding public transportation)
Disable android external storage management: messes with ext4 formatted hard drives or multi partitioned hard drives. Use the unix style mount command
Disable hardware keyboard on boot: disabled but not removed. You'll have to manually turn it on
Removed camera sounds
Disable SELinux at the kernel level. It's even disabled on my laptop/desktop at the kernel because it seems like it's more trouble than it's worth.
Put the dalvik cache in the cache partition. Don't waste the data partition for it. :cyclops:
And of course, comes bundled with my A1 kernel :cyclops:
Every thing I've tested: camera, youtube hd, sound, gps, usb otg(use manual mount command) etc work.
*Instructions*
First time flashing omni:
-Read second post FAQ and other important information.

Can't mount ext4 media: kill the e2fsck process assuming you safely removed the media before sticking into the tablet.
(Below this is optional)
(Android device manager does have legitimate uses. However, please read and consider the following paranoid but realistic fantasy:)
Completely disable android device manager: By only going to Settings->Security->Device administrators and un checking "Android Device Manager" this doesn't completely remove the ability for google to send in commands to your device. Go to the google play store through a web browser, choose android device manager, and try "ringing" your device. To my horror, my tablet started to ring as if it got a phone call. I don't find it acceptable that gapps gives google a way to setup a remote command and control operation. In any other operating system this is considered a back door or virus.
To close this back door install Xprivacy. Enable system apps to be modified. Look for the entry (should be highlghted in red to indicate a system app) "Google Account Manager, Google Backup Transport... (lots of items here) ...Google Services Framework". Check mark Notifications and open its menu. Check mark the items in red. These are cloud to device (c2d) permissions which do exactly what you think. While not necessary, disable identification too for good measure. This disabled the ring feature on my tablet which means android device manager should no longer be able to send in commands. I don't have the guts to try the device wipe feature but it should work too. Do not disable location otherwise google maps won't be able to find you which means no gps car navigation.
See this post about building from source. I use a different, simpler trick for prebuilt chromium binaries. Fear not, they are source built but only when there are real source changes. They're just recycled in between to save 90mins/build of time.
Downloading now!! Thanks for your work!!

Another 4.4.3 for the tab?
Thank you very much!
Hi AAccount,
thanks for your 4.4.3 ROM, sounds promising ... however, what about the graphical glitches on that vesion? I always went back to ROM version CM10.2/SGT7 as this seems to be the latest one without those glitches (last version I tried was Nameless ROM version 4.4.2 where they were still visible ... and annoying).
Thanks in advance,
mistersixt.
Great job!! Runs fast without bugs and glitches, only youtube HD...
The best kitkat rom!! Thanks !

Best kitkat rom. I have some glitches. It is not as smooth as cm10.2 so i am going back to cm10.2.
What graphical glitches do you mean? I think ever since omni fixed the screenshot way back most graphical bugs have been ironed out. By youtube hd do you mean it doesn't play or can be laggy? If you mean laggy I read on wikipedia the GPU video decoding on the tegra2 sucks. That's a hardware problem.
3G build and new recovery coming later today. I cheated the chrome renderer build process by copying all the freshly done ones from the wifi only output folder.
My github is now fully up to date with all the appropriate omni repos forked with my personal touches whether it be the audio blob fixes or little things I like.

What are the flashing instructions? Is there a preferred gapps package?

With all ROMs starting with 4.3 it looks like if a flash of lightning goes from one corner to the other (my wife is saying it looks more like a scratch) for maybe 100 ms, this happens quite constantly though, every minute or something. Also, in some games like flappy bird the application gets stuck for maybe 100 to 200 ms completely (every 5 to 10 seconds maybe) before it continues, this makes playing games unpossible (temple run is another good example).
With 10.2/SGT7 this does not happen ... for whatever reason.
Regards, mistersixt.

I added instructions. There's no really preferred gapps package. I just like that one because it's the smallest one that gets the job done. There are some gapps packages that are bigger than the rom which I consider bloated.

I get these randomly sometimes but not often enough that I would consider it an issue. In angry birds it's an issue but if you go to Settings-->Developer Options check mark "Force GPU rendering" and "Disable HW overlays". Then you can play angry birds at least without the lightning.
And now for an important question
I have a script that puts /data/dalvik-cache on /cache/dalvik-cache as it was way back in android 2.2 froyo. Even though our tablet shipped with android 3.0 and my I9300 S3 shipped with android 4.0, Samsung seems to have been very sloppy and left the /cache partition huge to accomodate the froyo standard. This is a waste of space that will never be used. The cache paritition is 0.5GB. Is it OK if I include this script as a boot script? Is 0.5GB/500MB enough for most peoples' dalvik-cache? This will free up that space and add it to the internal sd card.
Great room, thanks! Everything working OK during the first hour of use

Thanks for posting this! Great ROM. Only problem I'm having is the APN settings are blank for my 3G tablet (P7500). I input them manually and everything works, but normally they are preset.

Many thanks for this!
"Disable HW overlays"- for some reason this setting does not stick between reboots (not your ROM problem- it happens in all devices that I've ever seen). Is there a way to apply it automatically during or after boot? Such as in a script, or init settings etc?
Regarding the Dalvik cache, is there a way to know how much space all my installed apps + system are currently using?

Go to the CM File Manager --> Settings --> General Settings -> Compute folder statistics and check mark that box. Also in the same area be sure to set access mode to prompt user mode or root access mode. Then, go to /data and hold dalvik-cache folder until get a menu and choose properties. The size will show up under "Size: ". Mine is 208mb.

238MB here. Maybe a quick poll can help gather info on how much allocation must users are using?

Same around 2xx mb. I'm fine with it, since the 400mb in /cache is wasted anyway.
