I see allot of people are using a 96MB Swap. Im a noob to this stuff and am a little confused as to what exactly that is, i have tried to find some threads on it but i suck at searching lol
What exactly is it and is this 96MB swap something that will help out the performance on my phone? Its a G1 running the latest Cyanogen's with a 4gig class 4 SD card.
start here, I was just reading about it earlier today:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529361
I highly suggest you get a class 6 if your going to use your sd for this purpose.

No, but you could use 32mb as mine never uses much more than that. Most people would go as far to say that it is not needed at all for AOSP roms.

So i was just wondering whats the highest storage the xda will take? i was thinking of buying a 4gb SD card you know if this would work on the exec/universal?
I saw somewhere last weekend that Sandisk is comming out with 8GB MiniSD cards.

The 4GB card works just fine on my Universal. I love it, never have to swap it out for a different one.
The only issue I've heard about (but isn't an issue for me) is that the camera won't let you save pictures to the card unless you have at least 2GB filled up. It's an issue with the way the camera application was written.

Does that ROM include the goofy battery indicator and jumping clock? I've avoided upgrading the ROM because 1) I don't really have any problems with the way it's running now, 2) I like the clock to stay where it is and 3) I don't need a battery indicator since I have Batti. Sort of a case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
It's good to know they fixed it at least the camera thing though, thanks!
huh?
Dude the new rom is much quicker than old ones.

is the new ROM really quicker or is it the fact that installing 'any' ROM again and giving your decide a nice hard reset and wiping all other programs would speed up or make it appear as things are running faster?

I think it MAY be more that, but hey, the new rom has brilliant A2DP, AVRCP, and Push Email!
My Universal is plenty fast enough as is. None of the new ROM's bells and whistles are really that important to me, so I'm just going to keep it as is.
I think we've gotten a little off track and hijacked the "SD maximum" thread!

This was an April Fool's joke....
Sandisk, as good as their cards may be, are usually one of the last to release big cards.
I've not heard rumours of 4gb miniSDs let alone the 8gb.
I have a HTC Magic 32B I installed Modaco_custom_1_51_java_flash-sapphire.zip
and although I think its fantastic it wasn't running very well the phone.
Did I miss something? Did I not do something right to get it running at full speed?
I have a linux and ex4 partition on my SD card (class 4).
If you have any suggestions it would be grate because i'd love to go back to it!
cheers

Considering the Hero has 96mb more RAM, it's not going to run as fast as the Hero itself. 64mb swap partition on a class 6 card would probably help (remember, swap is nowhere near comparable to RAM), but I use Cyanogen Mod because Hero just isn't worth it imo.
yeah I though so. The rom did say it was stripped down though.
I have been looking around for 2.1 ROM for a while and though few ROMs are great but as in life none of the ROMs are perfect
My simple wishlist is:
-app2sd
-no RAM Hack
But believe it or not I am yet to stumble upon one. In fact I used OpenEclair for a while and I loved it but RAM hack meant no games and no video so had to revert back to Cyanogen's.
If this is a n00bish question then kindly excuse 'coz ATM that's what I am .
Thanks in advance.

I was hoping you'd say no
I want to avoid using swap as I'm not sure of how much damage it will make to my sd-card.

well so far iv had mine for a month with a lot of flashing and repartitioning and i havent had a problem yet
you can always grab a new one for around 20$ http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-mic...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1268266465&sr=8-1
sacrificing 20$ for a great rom is more than reasonable in my opinion.

why do you need a2sd with a magic? if your worried about thrashing your sd with swap why aren't you bothered about running apps from the sd?
try an openeclair rom
just use a 64mb swap and thats it..no apps2sd
or if u want try open eclair with no swap or apps2sd
Thanks guys for your inputs. "kings droid Eris2g1" looks compelling. Gonna try this weekend .
That when a stable android build is out for the HD2, it will be able ot run on the internal memory with NO windows mobile at all, and not kill the battery? i just wnat to make sure that i will not have to run the build of my sd card for ever.
i just would like all your opinions, cause i don't know weather to be patient and keep my hd2 or get something else...Just wondering what all your thoughts are..and when would you think a stable working full port would be?
thanks gang. Love this forum
Thanks DEVS! Great work on this!
no one??????
To be honest I think you'd be better off just getting an android phone if your looking to completely replace the os.......
You could be waiting a while otherwise.......

Really? that is what i feared...
what (IYHO) would be a "while"?
I wouldnt like to even guess at how long because my knowledge of the whole android thing is very small, its not really something that interests me to be honest......
From what Ive been reading the newer builds are coming on in leaps and bounds but at the end of the day the HD2 is built to be a WM device, android will never run as efficiently and as stable as it would on an android handset....
Of course its going be fun to play around with but I dont think it will ever be able to replace the original os........
It sounds like you'd probably be better off with a desire / evo.........

Well they have been going since March, it's now July and we are on alpha release. A month, two, three...? Who knows.
i wonder how "usable" it will be, and will there ever be a rom that works on the internal memory and not the memory card?

I should think it would be stable and you may well be able to flash it to the internal ROM, or at least have a dual boot option. Personally I have no interest in running Android on my HD2, despite tinkering with it already.
I have my eye on the 'Desire HD'.

I have never tried Android, but I do like WM 6.5.x a lot, but it's well on the way out now. I'll be gunning for an Android phone next I think, and the 'Desire HD' looks like it will fit the bill nicely.
When I was considering the HD2 or the Android, the main reason I chose the HD2 was because of WM6.5. Despite all the bad impression, WM is still fairly stable for me. Furthermore, you can only install apps onto Device Memory using Android. How many programs do you think you can get onto the Device Memory?
I have an 8gb card (standard issue) and I have no qualms installing a program and playing with it for a while, and don't need to worry about memory becoming too low...

First of all, both of those are Sense 3/3.5 builds. Others have differing opinions, but I personally find them to be extremely laggy, so I use CM7 ROMs instead. It's a shame because I really like the Sense UI, but can't do much about it. Some things which will improve your user experience are:
1. Overclock using SetCPU, will make the ROM smoother
2. Use a task killer. Again, there are largely varying opinions on this but I always, without fail, find that my ROM runs smoother with 200mb free RAM than with 100mb.
3. Change your ROM. This is probably the best thing you can do, CM7 ROMs (e.g. Hyperdroid, Typhoon, Dorimanx etc.) and MIUI ROMs are much faster than Sense 3.0/3.5 ROMs. However, the fastest ROMs in my opinion are actually the Android 2.2 Sense 2.0 ROMs. Unbelievably fast and smooth with the Sense experience
ok and thank you.
can you link me to some roms topic ;p?
also i dont know what Setcpu is,so a link will be good ;d
thx
I think this will help you tremoundiously.

Great thread and stuff, but this is misleading, it implies that he needs to switch to cLK. @OP, don't bother, it has no performance advantages over MAGLDR and is far too much effort.

Hmm, people actually recommend a class 2 SD card for this sort of stuff I think. Not sure whether or not this is only for SD Android, but this thread shows that most people find that a Class 2 SD is more than fast enough. On the last page, one post says that the transfer from a class 2 to a class 10 made no difference.

If your considering changing to cLK their is a newer one that is better than MAGLDR. I personally believe cLK for Android has been better the entire time but the new 1.5 version certainly is. My guide is written for cLk 1.4 which if your not sure what your doing that is better for now. But cLk 1.5 supports repartitioning without a computer and comes with recovery built in. None the less, I really did not mean to link to that guide the first time. I just copy and pasted the wrong thing accidently.
