I am sorry if a thread like this exists but I didn't managed to find it.
I tried different Roms but I can't remember from all which is the fastest.
I am mainly using my Polaris for:
- phone calls
- wifi browsing: Opera Mini/Skyfire
I want the fastest Android Rom that will suit my needs. From your experience what ROM would you recommend me ?
Thanks.
Try to use froyo 2.2 RLS 12, right now i use it on my phone, it is fast naught to do all the usual things without wait. I overclocked my CPU to work at 540MHz (this says Rogue Tools) but it is working at 520MHz really. The market it is working fine, bluetooth also, wifi can be solved to obtain ip, everything is ok. If you wanna more details, PM and i will try to guide you in romanian

how can I flash froyo 2.2 RLS 12 to my Polaris?wifi is ok?
1. READ POST1 HERE - FOR THE INSTALL PROCESS INSTRUCTIONS and download the install-seq.sh .
2. READ POST1 HERE - DOWNLOAD THE Latest FroYo NBH or ZImage (POLAIMG.NBH) for your panel type, and the RLS12 All Languages Themed (androidinstall.tar).
3. READ POST1 HERE - FOR THE NBH Editor v3.5.2 YOU CAN DOWNLOAD AND USE THIS PROGRAM TO CHANGE THE PANEL TYPE FROM 1 TO 3 OR FROM 3 TO 1.
After you read all the 3 posts from the 3 thread and you download all the files you need you can proceed with the install using the steps described in the point 1.
For solve the WiFi obtain IP adress, after you install successfully the Android on your Polaris, restart it and press the volume button up when booting Android, you will see a menu with some options, select FIX PERMISSIONS menu and wait... after the fix WiFi will work just fine and it will obtain the IP from the network.
Hope this post will help you.
Indeed, I am using since yesterday RLS12. It is pretty ok, some freezes here and there but nothing really important. Sometimes in Market the phone restarts. I thought about overclocking the CPU but I was affraid not to broke it. Is it safe? Is there a performance improvement ? What about battery drain ?
In my case i don't have any problems with freezes or restarting in the Market, but when you change the camera settings application from photo to video then the program stops. About overclocking the CPU, i use it in this way (540MHz) from some time, all is ok, the phone is fast and the battery is not drain, in my case work from 3 days ago and i have use it my phone to calls, WiFi (browsing), Bluetooth (send/receive files).
this last several days i've spent time to try a lot of android build for my device polaris100. here is my opinion about the best adroid build i've tried :
1.Incubus26jc's Super Froyo (RLS13)
the best build for show off to your friend in reality my device's 128 mb ram can't run it as smooth as it should be. too many frezes it work but with limitation. you need to tweak it a bit to make it bearable : 1 launcher page, keep launcer on memory, kill all windows animation. try to move the installed program to your sd might increase the cache files. uninstall those you never use. minimal widget. you might want to overclock your procc at the risk of your beloved polaris.
2. Kallt_kaffe VaniljEclair RLS11 (CM5.0.8)
It has the bling bling as the froyo build but it works generally alot of better than the froyo one. it work fast out of the box. and if you do the tweak i mentioned above it work alot of more faster. but not as fast as it should be if compared to those official device that came out with eclair.
3. [ANDROID] Myn’s Warm Donut - [RLS 5 - 04/24/2010]
this is the oldest adroid of the two above. but it has the least hardware requirement, in other word it really work as it should be (compared to the device that officially came with it). it just some glitches here and there but it is bear able. I'm having alot of fun with this build.
there is alot of other build that i tried but IMHO those 3 above are the one worth to mention.
hope this help.
CHEERS!

can u tell me, what works and what didnt work, in these androids???
Most stable for Polaris
Hi,
I always testing any incoming releases.
I vote for Incubus Froyo (RLS13 yet). If you don't use lot of screens, widgets, than it is the most stable for daily use. These things are the most important for me and they are work:
- Incoming calls come fast
- Data plan works: Task, Calendar, Contact
- BT carkit works
- Battery: I use sometimes pcarvalho lastest winmo and it drains battery more, than Android.
I think the most freezes are about the low free memory. But I'm on it to get more memory. If I use app and data on SD, I got max 40MB of free memory.
Hey, I got the same impressions of the Incubus RLS13, very stable BUT suffers from a memory problem... well, can't expect too much from the Polaris RAM when compared to the new devices in the market.
However, can u guys tell me if the Launchers (PRO and ADW) should make the phone slower (choppy)? I decided to stay with the stock launcher, apparently works better (apps, screens in/out), but I checked that PRO and ADW don't use a lot of memory.
For example, Tjahjo07, when u say keep the launcher in memory and 1 screen only, which launcher are u referring to?
Cheers!
@grgomes
he means launcher pro.
Tks Phyt. Yeah, I did try the speed-up suggestions, my Pola100 is much faster now.
2 screens LP, keep in memory, people widget and weather only. Minimal freeze and FC so far.
I did however go back to Liquid's 16/07 nbh, the 26/07 from DZO was giving me a lot of charging and booting issues. Seems much more stable now.
Im waiting for a Pola version for the 24/08 nbh from DZO, read some good reviews from people using Vogue...
I flashed Incubus26jc's Super Froyo (RLS14), Kallt_kaffe VaniljEclair RLS11 (CM5.0.8), Myn’s Warm Donut - [RLS 5], but there is no-one can run in my Polaris smooth.
My suggestion is don't install Android in your Polaris for business. Otherwise, maybe you will loss order or job.
Good Luck Everybody!
VaniljEclair
Use the VaniljEclair an reduce the pages of ADW.Launcher to 1! It works really fast!!! Ive got Pola200. If i flash Incubus Froyo WLAN dows not work. Running the other ROM everything works fine!!! I had 1.6 myns warm donut before. It had benn run from SD Card. By flashing Eclair I got a 2.1 which works as fast as Donut from SD card. Try it! Its great!!!
F1 plz
i read this guide : sourceforge.net/apps/trac/androidhtc/wiki/HowToInstallWithAtoolsNand
step by step done, but after install hardSPL, when i'm pressed CameraButton and Reboot, see the tricolor page , and nothing happen. what can i do ?!
@moapz: oh my god .. take a breath, you have posted in all the topics. wait a minute. someone will answer you. i think you are not doing something well. i have did that tutorial some time ago and had no problem with it. it would be better for you to try to install in haret mode first.
Have a nice day.
i have a problem to, when is the bars on the phone what i have to do? i need a program to flash the nand polaris? please help

thanks TrakX.
i installed android NAND on my pola200 and worked. but after some days it goes crazy and according to this forum thresd i could remove old version and now i want to install another stable version, so i read wiki page but all links not worked! or say file not found. so i'm going back to read threads again to find what version is good. but another problem! ; many of this guides uses haret.exe to install android but i cant do this, because i don't have WM on my pola200 to run it. so can you help me for that? how to install new android ?
Introduction:
Two questions.
1: should they be renamed to be 2825 kernels?
2: I need some help. I have realized that 1.5 hero roms provide an amazing experience with the extra ram; when swap and cc are disabled, while still leaving sense running, I can switch freely between clock, browser, messaging, and rosie (sense homescreen) without any of them quitting. App launch times are phenomenal, and I really would like to use a 1.5 hero as a daily rom.
Unfortunately, SD card, ringtones, and other features don't work. My only explanation for this is because historically, hero 1.5 roms always had a seperate modules.sqf in /system/modules/modules.sqf.
I think this is the reason, because when I try a 1.5 non-hero rom with a 2708 kernel, the result is all of these functions working perfectly.
Some comments:
I find it amazing that these newer kernels work so well with the older roms.
I will update this thread as progress occurs.
CURRENT PROGRESS
The only progress I know of is this:
ezterry has posted an "OLDBUILDS" kernel that enables only 8 of the available 14 megs so that camera works.
Download: http://sandbox.devnull.name/android/ezOldBuildsKernel-2708_S.zip
Please help. This can be an amazing project.
Beawtifull thread.
I love sense roms (1.5 is ok ) and also vanilla donut.
With some mb of ram more would be amazing !
I have used 1.6 vanilla with 14mb ram more, but camera don't works.
update:
I can't find any 1.5 sense roms for g1 that DONT have the modules.sqf, but rather have them somewhere else.
Could people please:
1. provide me with information about what modules.sqf is, and how it can be extracted/ combined/moved/ etc so that anykernel will pick up those modules.
2. find a 1.5 sense hero rom without the modules.sqf, but with the necessary files to allow SD access and ringtone selection to work.
known not to work
mightymax hero 1.9
maxisma sense 2.0.1
qteknology 3.05 cupcake sense
sensehero 1.4
3. These problems could also be caused by xbin.sqf, as in the proper xbins aren't able to be accessed that allow sd card and ringtone selection... but both of those are conrolled by mediaserver which is in bin (afaik).
Smart people please input.
nobody? at least post your thoughts here about what you think i'm doing, is it stupid, is it blatantly obvious, etc?
Essentially what i'm asking for is a 1.5 kernel that works with 2708.

Um. The sqf files are just squash fs disk images (mount them via loop).. there is no reason my kernel will have an issue with this.
If /system/xbin isn't mounted check logcat/dmesg.
Make sure losetup is finding the loop device.. you may need some shortcuts to be added in init.rc to adjust the loop device location.. that or pull losetup or toolbox from a newer build and see if it helps.
If the screen isn't black its mostly just updating the core version of linux to behave I think.
No news? I would really love sense 1.5 with 14mb ram hack, or vanilla 1.6 with more 14mb
bumpidibump
jcarrz:
did you try the zx 1.5 hero (zachattack xillius thing)? dont know how it is called correctly
id go for sensehero 1.4 with the extra ram!
still the most stable/usable sense rom i ever flashed.

Both Amon_RA ION1.6 and the ZX_Donut (and more) will run with ezterry's 2708 kernel. you will need to set the camera's rez to 1mb to take pictures. An if i remember correctly the wlan.ko from a CM or CM builds such as the biffmod is needed to make the wifi work.
I ran donut with ezterry's kernel for a long time, and finally switched to CM 6.1 due lots of new apps i want to try are 2.1+ only.

If you use the kernel in the op you get 12 extra mb of ram and camera will likely work as usual..

yup, IIRC i tried it awhile ago and camera worked in high rez.
phone pictures are generally for a quick share on social networking sites anyways, 1mp was the setting i've always used.

Glad to still see an interest in this. I've been fooling around, and made some progress.
first, Beav_35 has made a donut 2708 kernel that has had mixed results for me so far. He nor I are responsible for any damage to your phone. it is not guaranteed to work at all. use at your own risk.
http://www.multiupload.com/0YROAJ4IDY
Second, I am working on getting a nice 1.5 sense working 100% on the g1. I will update this thread periodically.
thanks jcarzz1! il watch this thread!
Are there any complete, stable , ready-made Donut ROMs that has a 2708 kernel? Preferably AOSP.
DEAD
I will try it today and let you know
thank you for the ROM
Sorry for slow download guys! When I finish my build, I upload to ge.tt which allows end users to instantly download while I upload. R3 is also broken -_- ; will upload fixed again
Please stick with r2 atm until r4 is done uploading.
Why the mandatory 96MB Swap and 512MB Ext4?
Wow...this rom is so horribly slow. Amazing how Roms can still get worse.
Slow UI, no improvements over 2.2.1, Market doesn't download anything. No Superuser installed. No busybox installed either. Commands such as a simple "cp" doesn't work.
Horrible.
Honestly with EzTerry's odex'd Asop and Richies F4T 182 de-odex asop build you are a long long long way off lads, nice effort but there is a lot better available already. And as for it being Danger SPL or custom mtd patch needed for what 90% of people are using 2708 with 14mb extra ram then this is a massive home goal.
Sorry just speaking the truth.
No, thats allright, I haven't applied much stuff to it yet.. I just uploaded it the day I compiled.
i'm impressed, just needs a little work. Also, those figures you have for free ram is with or without swap??
do you include a 2708 kernel? is that the default one? that could be a little clearer.
Sorry for the bugs, it is my first native phone rom.. Those figures are for free ram (physical) with the stock system without google apps with 2708 kernel. I did not include 2708 kernel yet but I will very soon! With the google apps and without the 2708 spl/radio, i got around 30 mb of free ram.
The mandatory ext4 partition and swap is for the R5 (uploading now) with a2sd but su still does not want to work. The "su" file was not included in the aosp compile for some reason and it messes everything up..
I like the fact you have changed the OP now about it being fast or faster
Look forward to see where you go with this fella, maybe a look at EzTerry's Froyo Parts.apk if it can help you out. I ported it with Terry's permission to F4T 182 and may be a useful additional update for your rom in the future to add additional functionality.

Yeah sorry I overestimated
35 MB of free physical ram with market, pinyin IME, and google messaging running DangerSPL and stock radio, no 2708.
Well, I'm curious to see Froyo 2.2.2 on my G1 anyway. I have it on my TP2 and the major difference I noticed is that 2.2.1 doesn't have wifi tethering in its Wireless and Networking settings but 2.2.2 does. (Not really a big deal I suppose, since I already have a tethering app.)
I'm kinda curious about why Lazlo or the others haven't merged 2.2.2 yet.

Simple answer - Go ask them
My guess is nothing more than a reduction in memory footprint??? And Wireless tethering is so easy using the google code website (just for those that don't know) http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ last time I remember wireless tether included in a rom was back in Donut days.

Nothing wrong with the link, works fine. I suggest taking a closer look at your pc
i was using an adblocking hosts file. who the hell doesn't? especially on xda... LOL i guess some people like ads
Ok, R5_Stable released. It is COMPLETELY STABLE with 97% bugs fixed. The UI is smooth and fast after all dalvik-cache has caught up on first boot. I have already messed with odexing and it works but will be in next release(s) because I still like my themes!
Note:
-DO NOT use QuickBoot application as it shuts down android incorrect (at least on this build), it works, but after you press "reboot" and android loads, up, android immediately crashes, and then reboots again and works fine..
-Now includes Live Wallpapers
-Launcher pro is default launcher
-seperate google apps for legal reasons (yeah again)
-On first boot, please wait until dalvik-cache has caught up (about 2 min) or until the phone has received radio signal for rom to run at full speed
-Pershoots .11 kernel added now
- 30+ MB of free physical ram with danger spl!! 60+ with 2708+ radio/spl/kernel.
-Requires Danger SPL now
- battery life is good but does not last 2 days
- setCPU recommended with ondemand at 122mhz-614mhz s (lower if you want to save battery but still runs fine @ 528mhz)
- usb tethering does not work unfortunately (the one built into rom)

Fella just because you use a host file please don't blame the links or assume no-one else is using them when links work for them. Not my fault you blindly use the host file and have no clue of how to configure it to allow certain things. The fault is the user because a computer works on a simply principle of it can only do what YOU tell it too.
smooth but on the mytouch wen using any other kernel it breaks wifi and the stock kernel doesnt support the new radio
hi all
i followed the disskusion in Milestone XT720 Android Development CyanogenMod 7.1.0 Milestone XT720 RC1
tried 2 reply but i never posted something so iam not allowed to post in def forum
i think iam not the only one with this problem
tried to make my 10 post in offtopic to join the diskussion but faster deleted than posted
so here i go
at first i wanna thank all the devs for the good work
to see cm7 build from source on my xt720 makes me smile
although thanks to all other guys made roms 4 xt720 loved most of the tested but CyanogenMod is my favorite
my last rom was Mioze7Aes cm6.3
so again thanks to all and back to the now
things i missed/bugs found:
still no crystalltalk
missing the standard gallery 4 hdmi /the realhdmi app i used on cm6 although not working
fixed in the builds i got from
https://github.com/peshovec/playground/downloads
when i push hardwaremenubutton/manage applications/running it shows me 0-15mb free ram most time i locked 0-5mb
when i look in other tools like android assistant it says 25-60
is it a bug or is it only cause i have no plan about the ram use
btw what about swap saw the qestion in orginal thread too can we do it the same way like on Mioze7Aes cm6.3
other people with same problems ? some are altough talked about in the orginal thread

hi jensblau...
i'm having the same difficulty with the 10 post issue.
i would also like to post to that forum topic
---------- Post added at 08:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 AM ----------
i apologise for the short messages i may post but maybe we can get our 10 post minimum requirement on your thread. or possibly this thread will catch a developers eye and acknowledge our posts.
i have tried many versoins of the roms. however due to functionality and asthetics, i always find myself flashing back to dexters froyo.
i have not been a fan of AWD launcher as the primary launcher of any of the threads until i flashed this CM7 rom. the transitions are smooth and it looks great.
here is a list of things i have found on my side regarding the rom, i have only used the latest build [30.10.2011]:
Camera issues:
hd recording: initially when i went to recording, it partially worked but the screen looked like a tv with an interlacing issue. now the screen is just blank. i'm not stressing too uch about this as the hd recording was never really reliable on any rom, including the stock 2.1.
Widescreen photos: this one bugged me the most so far. there is no longer the option of taking photos in the native aspect ratio of the screen, which makes the phone seem less impressive in the gallery as pictures do not fill up the screen.
Applications:
i have not tested the GPS as extensively as you [30mins] but so far no issues. i cannot seem to successfully launch any gaming applications, whether graphics demanding or not. games just seem to hang on the loading screenshot and shortly after force close. i am not sure if the games cannot load due to an accelerometer issue?
is anyone else having gaming issues?
Memory::
RAM: seems inconsistent, whether 50mb+ is available, or 15mb, i cannot seem to run apps smoothly.
Links2SD: cannot link applications with links2sd, i have triedformatting the partition to all supported formats on the setup screen of the application but still no luck.
other than these issues thus far, i think this looks like a very promising rom
My problem is I can't charge when phone turned off, stuck at M logo @@
gps/navi
my navigation problem was the loadingcable from usbradio in the car it seems
without cable no reboot no force close dont know if the radio is the problem or the phone
@shalzn that was my hope to someone of the other thread recognizing this
@jjackichan works 4 me had that problem with an erlier build
update-cm-7.1.0-MilestoneXT720-beta-26102011-signed.zip was it i think are you running update-cm-7.1.0-MilestoneXT720-beta-30102011-signed.zip
bzw i reflashed 2.1 betwen what i didnt before since cm6.3
swap
this is the thread i found and used on cm6.3 4 swap maybe i ll give it a try at we
i used the file from post 5 i think
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1210343&highlight=swap
is there a way to switch ext betwen 2/3/4 without formating it
If you nandroid backup then restore sddata it will restore as ext2. In Mioze7Ae's recovery mod for the xt720 there is an option to convert ext2 to ext 3/4.

Converting along this path ext2 -> ext3 -> ext4 is pretty easy. Going backwards isn't very easy. If you just want to gitrdun, use ORXT720 to make and restore a nandroid of "SD Data". This will automatically backup, format your /sd-ext as ext2 and then restore it's contents. Then you can use "SD Card Utilities" to change it to ext3 or ext4 if you wish.
thx 4 the fast help
nice this tock not long time you found our nerdthread big THX 4 your help
maybe you can answer the qestion about swap too
is it possible like in your cm6.3 with fjfalcons CustomCore3.rar

I think it does. I just booted boot2.img from CustomCore3.rar and it came up with swap enabled. But, swap seems to make things lag quite a bit from what I can tell. It shows 60MB free after boot. I think we have too much memory pressure with our current minfree settings so too much stuff is being forced onto swap and we're thrashing. So, it will probably need tuning using something like AKMO or maybe my swap is just too big.
Caveat: I didn't use the other parts of CustomCore3.rar (because I'm on linux). Also, the build I'm running is very close to the one fjfalcon built and released, but it's not the exact same one (nothing about the swap support should be different, though).
You'll find that our forums are a bit more friendly than some of the others out there. Just keep posting until you reach the min to get into the dev thread and then you can ask directly.
AKMO-autokiller memory optimizer is going to be your friend for awhile until you get your personal memory issues worked out. It is free in market and set it to optimum setting to start out. Then once you get the hang of it, you can tweak at will.
thats the plan
love this forum it allways helped me with my problems
next qestion is how to use akmo strikt or optimum bzw one of the others
wich do you use
and what heapsize should i have tested 32 and 40 i think
but will edit this afternoon after checking this no time have to go to work now
edit:much better after installing akmo
Go with 32 heap size for now and use the optimum setting in AKMO for a bit to get the feel of it. Then we can work on tweaking that. When I was on Kahls V4 my heap was 48 and my custom AKMO were 16,16, 74, 82, 90, 98 and usually had high 50's to mid 70's free ram always with no swap boot. That was on that ROM, not CM7 though.
@ woodrube...
hi there, i am fairly novice compared the skills of the others. i think the reason though is that many of the bugs reported concerning baseband, market. disappearing messages have not happened to me.
in connection with your post above, could these settings be keeping me from running graphics intensive games? they all hang at the startup screen and force close. nfs shift ran superbly on my stock 2.1, and dexters froyo. but now it seems nothing will run unless i rsd my stock rom. i tried brian lee's 2.2 v1.7, which runs the smoothest out of the lot, but still no 3d games.
i would like to be able to run at least something decent to show off on CM7...
You just need a lot of free ram when you run those games. The AKMO tweaks will help with that. I suggest getting Titanium Backup Pro (root) version from market. It is well worth the money. Go into settings, apps, running services and you can see what is running and how much ram it is taking. You can use TB to freeze renegade system apps that eat ram. This will free up available ram to run heavy games. Another app is Chainfire3D with 3plugins. It is used for Tegra gaming and graphics. I can upload the plug ins later on this evening bc they are a pain to find on the net. These should help.
Edit: Chainfire3d app is in the market (root) but I uploaded plugins here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19090240#post19090240
@ woodrube
tried these apps. but no luck. as well as V6 supercharge, tried a few of the modes.
the titanium backup pro does not function as you described to view running apps, unless i'm missing something.
i have 61mb free an not able to run anything.
going to rsdlite back to 2.1 to test the games to see if its not something that changed entirely on the phone.
will give feedback and maybe you can assist from there. have you managed to run anything graphics intensive on your handset just?

this is the name of 2.1 rom i have been flashing : UNMODIFIED_STR_U2_01.1E.0_SIGNED_UCASHLSTABB1B4DEMA039.0R_UCASHOTBRTLRTCEE_P001_A008_HWp3_1FF.sbf
CM7 required flashing ti a 2.1 rom before installation.
NFS will not run on this 2.1, i dont recall if i have ever gamed on this sbf. do you think the problem could start with this rom being the start point of all flashing?

Titanium will not find the rogue running services, it can freeze them. Say you do not use Maps for example. Go into Settings>Applications>Running Services and see if it is running. If so, then you can go into TBPro, find the Maps app and "freeze" it, thus preventing that app from running and eating up valuable RAM in the background. FYI without running Swap boot, 61mb is reasonable. I do not run graphic intense games, so not sure if the problem is the 3D graphics, available RAM or something else.
Looks like the SBF that you are running is the Brightpoint one. Maybe try the Cincinnati Bell Wireless one. It is in the SBF thread and has proven to be one of the most stable SBF foundations. I would suggest you try the CBW SBF if you want to test on 2.1 or maybe try one of the other ROMs and test on them to see if it works on those. Don't forget that CM7 is still a work in progress. Build up your posts so you can post in that forum. Others in there might be having the same issue. There are a few gamers over there.

The differences between the brightpoint and cbw sbfs are inconsequential-- just things like default homepage in the browser and preloaded bookmarks.

He is just having 9 kinds of hell getting that game running. Bet Libertymonger could help him since he runs games like those. If he is having this much trouble getting the game running, I dare not say anything about running swap.
thanks for the help guys.
i'm beginning to think maybe there is a problem with my older apk's and data files.
all the games that used to run on my stock rom and dexters froyo are not running anymore on any roms.
however i have gotten NOVA, and Samurai II [tegra 2] to run smoothly and from the experience they seem to be more involved games. so in theory the phone and roms should not have any difficulty with the older ones. so i'm gonna give it up as installation issue. plus i dont really like nfs, it was more of a show piece in the losing battle against blackberry amongst friends...
i have tested the above mentioned on bravo 2.2 v1.7, and cm7. runs a bit smoother on the bravo for now. but it will keep me happy until the kinks are out of cm7.
would you recommend me running swap boot? will it increase performance? or should i not tamper too much now that its running?
BTW, free RAM has dropped like crazy. +-25mb. nothing major running. keyboard t9 mod : 8mb, google framework: 9mb, whatsapp: 10mb. the remainder add up to under 2mb
does this sound right with those figures?

Hi,
I do run swap boot on CM6.3 and have seen almost all games working better except a few (9mm which was quite laggy even after a swap). But I think problem with swap is that It freezes my XT720 once in a while.
BTW, I plan to switch to the Bravo V1.7 for the time being as I want to try HDMI out which I never used even in the stock due to its limitation of gallery view. Does the Bravo HDMI out work on any games?
Thanks to all the Devs for keeping my XT alive.
Cheers

I think A2SDGUI is better than Link2SD.

indeed, it is... because the non movable system apps are also on the second partition of the sd....not only the movable. so in the end there is more avalaible space free on the internal storage.
but with link2sd, even if you have less storage available (around 75mb with linksd, 110 with a2sd on 1.54) you also never run out of space...
