I am running cyanogen 6.1.1. I just added a partition to my sd card and am wondering why I did it. aside from a slight performance increase, I think it did nothing else. are there benefits that I am unaware of, or did I waste my time doing this?

I'm not 100% certain about this, but I believe since froyo, apps2sd was done using the single FAT partition it comes with. The swap partition is good for Linux devices which Android is, but unless you're doing heavy multi tasking, and I mean heavy, it's not going to help. I suppose it helps if you have themes and widgets that take a fair amount of memory. In conclusion, you likely wasted your time.

I was wondering if there is any way to have 2 active roms that you can switch back and forth to without having to do nandroid and restores. I have CM and would like to have a sense rom that is easy to switch to without the hassle of doing nandroids. Anythijg like this exist?
I don't think so, i have two roms i boince between but i wouldnt called them both active
cyanogen/evervol-acies flavored gingerbread
I believe there is a dual boot option, but I am unsure of it's usability. Do a search.

Only thing a Google search really turned up was dual booting Windows 7 and Android on the HD2. This would be a sweet option to have though!

Clear the cache or upgrade to a custom rom.
Nfinity ROM made wonderful things to my Tattoo.
Faster and more feature than before, Sadly the camera and FM-radio doesn´t work .... yet but I hope it will be in the future... soon
Once I got some laging on my tattoo and factory reset + formating SD really helped... I had some garbage all over the SD card after too much installed and removed apps.
Custom ROMs are risky but great way to literally reborn the phone... For four months I was using the stock 1.6 and it was working nice but this custom ROM I'm currently using is much faster then the stock!
If wipe and factory reset don't help, you know what you have to do!

I just noticed, blandroid rom on the rom manager menu, has anyone tried it on N1? I'm using cm7 Rc4 and I know you'll all say stick with it, but I'm still curious.

I noticed it a couple of weeks ago. It says it's a stable 2.3.3 with no bloatware. Sounds very intriguing...in fact so much so that I downloaded it, but have yet to flash it...lol.
Certainly tempting isn't it, is this a case of who goes first lmao, out of interest how big is it? I notice the cm7s are just over 80 mb.

Seems like a plain stock ROM, nice to see to be honest.
Noticed the same thing, but was wondering what all it supports, site doesn't say much. I.E. what kernel it has/supports, TB alert stuff like that.
Hopefully the dev comes and explains what all he's done.
Well, I flashed it, for like an hour then when back to cm7 using the recovery I made.
First thing, market didn't work.
Secondly it didn't have the extra apps cm7 has, which I expected, but I instantly missed theme chooser.
Thirdly it wiped my contacts list.

First. The market issue is probably a wipe issue as I had the same problem with two different MIUI GB ROMs.
Secondly. That would be the lack of bloatware mentioned above. It's like stock android, so not sure why you even flashed it if you wanted bloatware.
Thirdly. It didn't wipe your contact list you didn't sync with google, becaue all of your contacts are backed up there.
You know what, I knew that'd be the replies I got, to be honest I'm curious of any rom that 1might increase battery life, currently using 85% over 10hours!! And of course the dreaded wonk which is seemingly inherent with cm7.
I couldn't force Google to sync with my phone, all my contacts are stored with Google you're right there.
Btw how would I get the market back?

Blandroid 2.3.4p0 works pretty good. Just curious about this app hidden in the list written in Chinese ...

I think it is another keyboard app. When you go to change the keyboard, it lists something in all Asian symbols.
I just deleted it and I have not noticed any difference with how blandroid runs.
The wonk was almost fixed on latest release of cm7. If you don't have the latest version, try it.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
Nearly fixed isn't fixed. The problem is really dragging out and these stock ROMs are showing that its fixed with them. Wonking isn't the only issue at the moment either. There is still problems with the sound levels after docking the phone sometimes where its maximum level is halved etc.
CM is an ace project and I truly respect the guys and their efforts behind it, but CM7 is very buggy, and when it starts to affect the ability to take calls its hard to use it.
Oh! Thx for the reply. I got scared and ran back to cm7

Give E-xtrememod 2.0 a try, been on it since yesterday and no probs so far, looks nice too!

What sort of battery life do you get and is there good support from the Dev?
I could go for no wonk
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
I like!
Went for this until the CM stable kills the wonk; now I may not go back. I haven't used it for long enough to know about stability. I think of it as pure AOSP, but already rooted (and a just a few essential CM goodies).

So far, I haven't found anything missing I need.
And if you want a bit more eye candy and customization, just install launcher pro or adw.launcher from the market.
I give it thumbs-up!
I'd like to have both TouchWiz and Google Edition ROMs on my phone and to be able to switch between them when desired. At the moment I'm unsure which one I really prefer, but having to reflash and restore all my apps each time is kind of unrealistic. I'm wondering if there's a way to do this.
Thanks!
Set up each ROM then make nan droid backups of each in trwp and restore when you want to switch.
You could see if Boot Manager (play store) works with your device.
That app looks kick ass. No support for us. I looks like the newest samsung it supports is galaxy nexus. It looks like the wifes phone just became my guinea pig
U can ues up to many roms as u like. As as long u have alot of space in your memory chip. And by uesin any rom. Just restore rom to rom. That u wanna uesss
