Hey all,
I've been having a LOT of stability problems with my phone ever since I've been running the cupcake builds. This may or may not be a coincidence, but the more I've read about others' experience with restarts, the more the SD card seems to play into it. It was my understanding with the Haykuro builds that the A2SD builds were always looking for the partition on the SD, and if you weren't using A2SD, it would cause performance issues. Unfortunately, JF's builds don't give you a non-A2SD choice, and since he credited Haykuro for the method, I assume he's using the same one. So what I'm wondering, before I revert back to a non-cupcake build (oh, God, please, no), could this constant checking of my SD card scenario (just the way it was explained to me...please correct me if it's wrong) be causing my instability problems? I am not using A2SD, because I only have a class 4 card, and not a ton of apps--no need really. Before cupcake, I had only seen my battery once. --The day I installed it. Since cupcake, I see my battery about an average of 6-7 times a day when I have to pull it out.
Your thoughts?

It doesn't constantly check, it only checks on boot.

JF version is a clean install without apps 2 sd included. If you are gonna use JF 1.5 i recommend following this link and follow the instructions. This apps to sd method is still the best with the least problems. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480582
Well, crap. If you guys are right, thanks for letting me know, and I guess that's not the problem. Suckin. My next steps were going to be running without an SD card in the phone at all for a while and see if I'm still crashing, then to downgrade to the last build I KNOW was stable as a rock, which was probably 1.43. Then I was considering going to the HTC ADP build, just to see if, for my phone, it's "hacked" cupcake that's the problem...
Crash-prone phone is the WORST.
Ok, I am running
Cyanogen Mod version 4.2.7.1 + CMrecovery 1.4
on a PVT32B
no apps2sd on a 4gig sd card
lol this information is probably irrelevant for my issue, but anyways-
I dont know much about rooting phones, i'm a newbie. so i may have missed something, idk.
But my problem is that this rom is going incredibly slow for some reason, more specifically when i return to the home screen. I have only about 4 widgets on 5 screens.
does anybody know the options i have available to make my phone operate faster? i heard about the 10Mb hack but i dont wanna do that.
Did you wipe before flashing ?
wow i cant believe you started a thread for this.
oh wait its your first post thats why. still, stupidity is not an excuse.
well, (for what its worth) you need to wipe and reinstall now since theres no telling what you did to make the phone slow. Just wipe everything and reinstall the rom. If its still slow then post in the CYANOGEN rom thread about your problems cause this thread is most likely gonna be deleted/removed soon.
omg my bad, apologies. I knew i shouldn't have posted this over here.
this is my 3rd time starting over and wiping it. Sometimes i will have no apps or processes running and it can take up to 45 seconds for my homescreen or dialer to load
and ok, I'll do that right now
Not a fan of Sense, but it is at least bearable on HDPI devices. I used the official HTC RUU from the UK as a base, and now have a bootable, somewhat working Froyo ROM for the CDMA Desire.
It is by no means a daily ROM. I'm uploading here so we can get some testers and help from other developers. Since I'm usually occupied writing code for a living, any help is welcomed and appreciated.
What's working?
Audio, incoming/outgoing calls, SMS, data (works, but flaky), camera, GPS (needs more testing to really be given a thumbs up), backlight, vibration, live wallpapers
What's not working?
Wifi, BT, orientation, lights, MMS, and I'm sure much more.
What's included that isn't stock?
Busybox, DarkTremor apps2sd, root shell, deodexed
Currently, it's booting off of the stock 2.6.29 kernel and modules. I was able to get the 2.6.35 Cyanogen kernel to boot, but did not get all drivers/modules loading properly. I will be looking into that soon as well as possibly using the Incredible ROM as a base.
What can I do to help?
Download, test, tweak, get in touch with me. Twitter or PM on here will work. Pay attention to this thread, I will keep it updated. I look forward to your feedback.

Remember to wipe before flashing.

good luck with everything i will give this a try once it becomes a little more stable. nice to see some cdma roms out here
I was correct in assuming we'd have success with the Droid Incredible build. Testing now and will tweak more tomorrow, stay tuned for updates.
Wonderful news!! I have been using the CM6 nightly on my Cell South with only a MMS bug but I will def rock out DPhase's ROM once it gets a little more stable. I am so excited to see a developer from Cell South! Can't wait to buy you a beer. I use my phone for work but I will flash this weekend to check it out and test for sure. I have a source that is putting the release of a OTA 2.2 on cell south to no earlier than the first quarter of '11 at best.

Have you had any issues with data on CM6?
I have been using CM6 as well on my cell south desire, I have not experienced any data issues. But it has only been a couple days since flash.
It seems a little slow but I think that is more Cell South than anything. I jump on wifi any chance I get. Still no MMS no matter what size file I try to send.
I would love to help with this... thank you for looking into it. Since it is not a "daily" rom, I really cannot run it too long until WiFi is fixed.
By lights is that the Message LED only correct? Or is it the Camera LED too?
Thanks again for starting this project! I would hope that you get the cyanogen kernel working, because I want the overclock
what can i do to help with this? i have a lot of time at work. but am far from a developer. CM6.1 is well on its way. id like to test for more devs. let me know what i can do. im flashing your rom now. then im going to try your MIUI

Ok great... I'll load this up sometime tomorrow. I am doing a battery test on my phone today to see how CM6 compares to the 2.1 stock sense rom.
I'm in
I'm onboard i've been running your 2.2 w/o sice all day it works great. There have been a few things and i am sure i will find more in the next few days. But so far so good i will write in that thread what i find.But i am also gonna give this a shot tonight so i will hit you back with what happens.
hell yeah
After just 20 minutes of using this it is the [email protected]#$ other than the things you mentioned it is running great keep it up.
i just installed this and have been playing with it for an hour,and OMFG it is so sweet,thank you so much for working on this ROM. i will post any bugs i come across and hope it help to build better sense UI froyo ROMS for the CDMA desire!
thank you again! loving this so much right now i feel like a kid on Christmas!
i have formatted and partitioned my sd card ,the first one is 6 gigs fat32 and the 2nd is 2 gigs ext2. i cant get the SD card to show up on the phone,says its unmounted??? is this a known bug or something new. or am i doing something wrong? i will try taking the partition out and leaving it as 8 gigs fat32, however i thought that for APPS2SD needed a ext2 partition?
EDIT.... i deleted the ext partition and left the sd card as a full 8 gigs (7.65 gigs) fat32 and now this rom will see the sd card,however it will not move apps to the sd card.....
I don't think you are supposed to have an EXT partition more than about 1GB. That might be part of your problem.

apps2sd will not work with fat32 partitions. You must have an ext partition, recreate but don't go over a gig.
Sorry Dphase I didn't get a chance to load it up today... I had alot on my plate today. I will give it a shot tomorrow night and probably through the weekend. How is the battery life on this compared to 2.1? I am getting double the battery life on 2.2 cyanogen for the BravoC than I did with the stock rom, so I am having trouble getting myself to switch at this point.

thank you, i will try to recreate a smaller partition now and try again.
EDIT.. I cleaned up the sd card and started from scratch, set my fat32,then created a 512mb in ext2,(1st partition is fat32,2nd is ext2) same problem. when i start the phone it says on the top of the screen "safe to remove SD card" message goes away,then i go to settings/SD card it says the card is unavailable.
but if i format the whole card as fat32 it will show up and work for everything BUT apps2sd. i know that i wont be able to move apps till i get a ext partition on the card, i just cant get the phone to see the sd card after i set it up.
I bought my Charge about a year ago (still no 4G in our area but that's a whole other discussion . . .) and figured I'd wait until the manufacturer warranty expires before rooting my phone.
I glanced over the development page and noticed that JT is still working on ICS but it's not yet fully ready. Does anyone have a recommendation regarding which ROM to root to my phone? It will be the first time I've ever routed a device before but I know how to follow instructions, so I assume I'll be fine.
Any recommendations anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, guys!

Either Tweaked or Eclipse. Essentially, they're our only two choices, but they're both good quality. For kernels, most people like Imnuts' PBJ kernel.
Yeah, I was looking at that one (someone else suggested that one and the transparent ICS theme). It looks like one of the links comes already bundled with the PBJ you mentioned so I'll probably get that one.
One question I did have was regarding EX4. I don't know if I need it or not. I have a stock SDA card but I don't know how to check if it's EX3 or EX4 or if I even need that portion . . . I'd rather not have to wipe my SD card but it's really not all that hard to backup to a computer so I guess it's not a huge deal. I'd rather not do an extra step I don't need to do though.
So yeah, is there anywhere in the forums that talk about EX3 or EX4? I searched in these forums and found a few articles about it but I still don't know if it's something I need or not.

I'm pretty sure EXT4 conversion does not affect external memory. It will only convert the data/dbdata/cache/system partitions to the newer file system. So no need to worry about your SD card. Personally, I would not recommend converting to EXT4 at this point. There is always a chance you can corrupt your internal partitions and brick your device. It is very difficult to hard brick a Charge, but from what I can recall those that have have been a result of a bad ext4 conversion. Ever since the Gingerbread OTA was rolled out, RFS has been more than adequate for the Charge. While you do get higher benchmark scores with EXT4, difference in real world usage is negligible (from my experience).
And Tweaked is by far the best current ROM for this phone. It is hands down the best ROM ever made for the Charge. If Eclipse is ever updated again, I would give that one a chance too.
In my opinion, the only reason to convert to ext4 on EP4 or FP1 is to make nandroid backups work. If you don't intend to use nandroid, no reason to convert.
ext4 definitely has significantly higher I/O throughput, but you'll only see it in benchmarks. You won't see any difference in the real world.
Tweaked gets my vote and as for kernels go, an increasing number of people prefer the stock kernel over PBJT for various reasons. Try both to see what works best for you.

I use Tweaked, and am very happy with it. I've tried PBJ kernel several times with EXT4, but can't get rid of some lag issues, so I keep going back to the stock kernel.

I like tweaked - plus it gets the most support right now. I think the eclipse developer has a newer phone, so that ROM has probably seen it's last update.
additionally, you've also got great themers here like Blackness, etc...
finally, you don't have to choose a custom ROM when rooting - you can still stick with stock or a debloated/deodexed ROM. but that will lack the bells and whistles of a tweaked or Eclipse.
also keep in mind that there are very easy ways to revert back to stock (just ask blackness - I think he did that 28 times over a 10-hour span last weekend ) so VZW will never know that your phone has been rooted....
I have what is probably a very silly, basic question. If I want to root my phone to using tweaked 2.2, should I be following this guide (except with Tweaked, rather than GB 2.3.4)?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160580
Is there another guide you would recommend?
Also, I'm hoping to read a bit more about all the terminology for rooting phones, all the basics, etc. I've been able to find a couple of general guides (in this forum and using google) and each one teaches me a little bit but I figured I'd ask the masters. If you were just starting to look into this, what guide/articles/pages would you recommend reading?

That's as good of a guide as I've seen. I don't think I've ever had to "tap" the power button to get into download mode, fwiw. Just hold Vol down and plug it in.
There's not a whole lot you can screw up that Odin can't fix. Just make absolutely certain that your computer does not lose power and that your device does not become unplugged during any Odin'ing you do. I'd recommend going over to www.imnuts.org and pulling the EP4D and Charge.pit files in the event that you need to back out. Having them on your computer will save you the headache later on.
As far as guides, most of them are going to be really dated. The Charge community is winding down, and those of us who are left are generally pretty helpful and patient when it comes to questions. We don't have much in the way of guides because there is no large influx of newbies ever coming our way to clog up the forum. If you pay attention to Rootzwiki, there is a new fella who tried to do things on his own and got really frustrated by the lack of info. That lack of info is probably due to the fact that none of us really need it.
That said, if you run into a question, just ask. If nothing else, I'll try to help you out.
I had a babyzilla turn off my computer during the Odin process, and I was able to fully recover. So no real danger there.
Also, www.chargeforums.com has also got some helpful how to threads as well.
tappin' that....

I've read that you can get hosed if it stops in the middle of flashing the modem? I don't know if there's any validity to that.
Not really sure where it was the process, but it happened a few tines. The first two times were due to a certain web page freezing up my PC.
tappin' that....
For the record, I put Tweaked 2.2 w/PBJ on my charge, used tweaktools to add Transparent ICS and it looks and runs great. If anyone was considering whether or not to use it, I'd highly recommend it.
Thanks for your help, everyone!

Questions & Troubleshooting[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+2]Specific to
CyanogenMod 10.1 and 10.2 by Albinoman882[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+2]This thread has been created for people to share issues,
question and help
while using Albino's CM 10.1 and CM10.2 ROMs[/SIZE]
CLICK HERE to see the Development Thread
PLEASE make sure to thank Albino for his dedication to this ROM
Please do not clutter the Development thread with non related development chatter
*
Albino's developement thread is meant for development, meaning posts should be focused on bug reporting (with logcats) and assistance in improving the ROM. Development threads on XDA are NOT intended to be 24/7 tech support for everyone who has issues with the ROM.
But even the best Android modders out there need some help configuring or changing settings once in a while. So this thread will be a great place to ask all the tech support type questions you have that aren't really related to the further development of the ROM. This will then leave the development thread a little less cluttered with day to day support questions which will allow Albino to read through the development related posts faster so he can continue improving this great ROM.
XDA members who don't have the 10 posts required to post in development threads are more than welcome to ask their questions here as well! In this thread there is no such thing as a dumb question!
ALL QUESTIONS ARE WELCOME HERE!
(In the development thread, that rule does not apply. Many questions will be dumb there and will be answered accordingly.)
Before we get started I will say one very important thing that applies to ALL ROMs. Before you ask any questions about any ROM, read the first post of that ROM's development thread. I promise you that you will find many of your answers there.
And finally, if someone in this thread helps you, please take a second to click their 'thanks' button! Someone has taken the time to assist you, and clicking thanks will make them feel appreciated so they come back the next day and help someone else! You get 8 thanks a day, don't be stingy with them! (I'm not even talking about me. I'm not looking for 'thanks'. Save them for others who directly answer your questions. They will deserve it.)
To the experienced users who might be able to help your fellow XDA members asking basic questions in this thread, please take the time to do so. You were new to all of this once yourself. You needed some hand holding and basic coaching on simple stuff at one point. Pay that forward! And be patient with repeat questions, but don't hessitate to try and teach someone how to use the 'search' feature either.
How to best ask for help in this thread!
Give the following information when asking your questions. This will greatly help the community to find you an answer.
Are you S-On or S-Off? (If you don't know, you are S-On)
What firmware version are you using?
What is the build date of the Albino ROM you are having trouble with?
(Go to Settings>About Phone>Read the Build Date)
What have you already tried to fix the problem? (No point in telling you to try 12 things you've already done)
And I can't stress this last one enough...BE AS SPECIFIC AS POSSIBLE!!!
Please don't ask your question in this thread AND in the develoment thread. If you do you can expect to get flamed in the development thread.
Some of the most frequestly asked questions....
Where is the actual development thread that has all the download links?
Click here. It's all in the first post.
You can find the most up to date changelogs and download links in that first post as well.
If you just want to update from your current install of Albino's ROM, you can use the Goo Manager app that came with it. Check your app drawer.
How do I install this rom?
1: If you are coming from another ROM do a full wipe
1a: if this is just an update to THIS ROM BASE you can simply wipe cache and dalvik cache
2: Flash gapps (not needed if you are simply updating from an earlier version of this ROM)
3: Reboot
4: Enjoy CyanogenMod 10.1
I have a question about Bruce's CM10 Android 4.1.2 ROM. Is there an awesome thread like this one for that ROM?
There sure is, you lucky devil!
Dag nabbit! How come I can't scan networks? And why won't my MMS's work either?
Because you need to read this thread and do what it says, my friend!
I'm still getting the annoying blinking data bug on T Mobile USA? I thought Albino fixed that!
It does appear to be fixed. However the fix breaks data for Sensation users in Europe. You have to make an adjustment to the build.prop to fix it in the USA. See this post for instructions on what to do and enjoy reveling in the death of that bug.
I live in a different country and my WiFi doesn't work!
Read this about country codes in WiFi. Enjoy the working WiFi goodness that follows.
I cannot live without Sweep2Wake! How do I put that kind of voodoo magic on my phone?!
Simple. You check out this post and follow the instructions.
Suddenly ADB doesn't work. It can't see my phone. What the bleep has gone wrong?!
You need to update ADB to be compatible with Android 4.2.2. It's a security issue put into 4.2.2 by Google.
Dkephart has created this easy to follow guide explaining how to do that.
(If use that guide, give Dkephart thanks.)
What happened to the Developer Options in the settings menu?
To prevent every noob from messing with those settings and screwing up their phone, the CM team hid the settings so you can't change them by accident.
To view this menu go to the Settings>About Phone>and tap the build number 6 or 7 times.
The Developers Options will now be available in the main settings menu
Gasp! The advanced reboot menu that lets me reboot into recovery or bootloader is gone! Can I get it back?
It's still available. It's just no longer turned on by default.
Go to Settings>Developer Options (See questions above)>and click on Advanced Reboot
My phone is constantly rebooting when on this ROM. Am I doing something wrong?
Maybe, maybe not. Rebooting has been an issue since the beginning with this ROM. It's gotten MUCH MUCH better and continues to improve daily. It's a ROM in development still, so there is always going to be that chance for the ocacsional reboot. Don't freak out if it happens once in a while. But if it's a regular occurance, try the following...
1) Your battery may be loose. Put a peice of thick paper next to the battery to wedge it up against the connector pins. There is a great guide somewhere around here with pictures, but I can't find it. If anyone posts the link to it in this thread I'll add it up here.
2) Some Sensations can't handle being underclocked to 192 (but some can). 384 is the minimum stable clock speed for some Sensations. There's nothing you can do about it other than set your minimum processor speed to 384.
3) Try not to undervolt at 192 or 384 either. Too much undervolting can cause reboots.
I think my battery is draining too fast. What is normal?
Don't judge battery life by how long you go between charges. Judge it by how much combined 'screen on time' and 'phone call time'. Those are the two biggest battery drains in any smartphone. When the battery is down to 2-3% you should see about 2.5 hours of combined screen on and phone call time on a good stock battery or 4+ hours on an Anker. (I've never tried other batteries which may givedifferent results). That may takes you 6 hours since unplugging or it make take you 3 days.
If you're not a power user though and leave the phone in your pocket most of the time, you may see 2-3 days between charges, but less than the 2.5 to 4 hours of screen + talk time. The battery is being used when the phone is idle, so if you have 40-50 hours of idle time, it will cut down on the total screen on and talk time you'll have on a charge.
Of course depending on your set up and screen brightness and all that sort of of stuff your milage may vary. The numbers I'm giving here are examples. And they only apply to the Sensation running Albino's CM10.1 ROM. On another ROM, expect totally different battery results.
If you are seeing something like 1 hour of screen + talk time and the battery isn't even making it through a single day, something's wrong. If you've got the original battery, go buy an Anker one. They aren't expensive and the difference will shock and amaze you.
If your battery is new and you get 1 hour os screen + talk time, ask about it specifically. There's probably something specific wrong with your set up or a rouge app causing wakelocks.
Should I wipe my battery stats to help calibrate my battery?
No. It's a giant waste of time. Calibrating a battery isn't a real thing. It's a myth.
Wiping battery stats isn't without it's place though. I like to do it occasionally to clear my battery graph so I can easily see if changes I make mid battery cycle are being effective. Things like trying to squish a wakelock or something. It's nice to be able to start over on the battery stats sometimes to see if the change was effective. But this will NOT help your battery life.
I get a TON of wakelocks caused by Google Services Framework. What gives?
Google thinks that your phone is thier phone and that they can have their stuff run 24/7 for whatever reason. If you're willing to sacrifice Google Talk and Google Search (Googel Now) and don't mind if your signal bars always stay grey and never turn colors, follow this guide....

You can end the Google Services wakelocks, improve your battery, and if you don't use GTalk or Google Search now, you won't even know anything is missing.
I hear that AC!D Mod is awesome. Can I use it on this ROM?
Yup. Click here to find out how. Thanks to Shawa2 for the write up!
I still see graphical glitches. And my bar code scanner doesn't work. What gives with that?
Disable H/W overlays in the developer settings. Don't know where to find developer settings? Look at the 5th question in this thread.
Sweet mother of god! My wifi isn't working! Don't make me rely on mobile data speeds! I need downloads NOW!!!
This is a common issue for people who are S-ON and have flashed the rom improperly? Use 4EXT Recovery to flash your ROM, enable smartflash and reflash the ROM. It should fix the problem.
Man this ROM is awesome! Can I donate to Albino somehow?
Yup! He's kind of shy about it and certainly isn't asking for it nor does he expect it. But he certainly deserves it.
Here's his note about the matter from the development thread...
I really didn't want to do this but people keep asking so here is a donation link if you want to buy me a coffee or pack of smokes (I go through a lot sitting on the PC messing around lol) go ahead. But not required or expected by any means

Happy Flashing

Great idea Skipjacks. Let's just hope the noobs come here and learn to fix their own problems and in turn others', instead of bogging down an excellent development threat with incoherent ramblings.

Just post the link to this thread when they ask a basic question in the development thread. The questions that are dumb questions in the dev thread are more than welcome here.
I also would hope that people who take the time to answer those questions in this thread do so with patience and understanding. Remember, we were all new to this ourselves at one point. We ALL needed a little hand holding in the beginning. There's nothing wrong with asking questions! (As long as it's in this thread nad not a dev thread)
That being said...to all the experienced users please check this thread out regularly and look for people you might be able to help out. XDA is a beter forum when everyone is trying to help each other.

Hi,
Subscribed.
wifi can't connect
Deal All,
I'm just installed this amazing rom but I'm finding a seriuis issue:
wifi can detect all the networks around but can't connect to them. Just saying "Saved" or "Connecting" for a few seconds.
I tried fixing it with all the tricks I found in the forums (wipe of all partitions, boot without SIM, wifix, getril, boot.img flash, static IP) but no way to make it work. Tested both the 201230306 20130307 versions.
In the past I had the same issue installing android1234567's kernel on CM9 Opensensation. I solved using tamcore's kernel. This time I'm just using the kernel packed in the rom.
Maybe different hardware? Mine is European Sensation, not 4G.
Thanks for your support.

Are you S-On or Off?
What firmware version? Have you tried changing firmware?
It's really strange that you can see the networks and not connect to them. Obviously the Wifi radio is working. But you're having authentication issues. This is not a super common problem with this ROM. That leads me to believe that your set up is messed up somehow. And that's a good thing because it probably means it's fixable.
If all else fails I would bet this can be fixed by doing a full RUU back to stock and starting over. Re-root and s-off and flash Albino's ROM fresh. But let's not jump to those drastic measures just yet...
I'm S-off and using the 3.33 firmware (from the mike1986 Partitions Info | [11.07.2012])
Still not tried to flash 3.32 version.

Oh wait....sorry it just hit me. I've never made this settings change myself so it didn't cocur to me right away.
You need to set the Wifi settings to the Europe region code. Europe uses different Wifi frequency bands than the US does, so your phone is trying the wrong frequencies to connect.
Go to your Wifi settings in main menu. Click the menu button (the one beneath the screen, second from the left), then click ADVANCED, and 5th row from teh top you should see Wi-Fi Region Code. Click that and switch it to whatever country you are in. I think Europe is listed as 1 county if you're actually in Europe.
Let us know if this helped!
Thanks for the thread, that's the thread I've been looking for before I had 10 posts.
My question is not very ROM related, I could not find any thread here or using google talking about this, but I saw a post today in the ROM thread (and I cannot find it right now) so I'll give it a try.
Background of the question:
Someone asked if it is using space to let appollo or another google app since it is on the system partition. Another answered that's ok and he has a custom partitioning of the System / Data, as the ROM is using so little space.
My question now: I am S-OFF, I know that it might be possible to flash / modify the MTD (?) paritioning / system / cache / data to have more space for apps for example.
I have been doing this on my HTC Desire using the alpharev custom HBOOT from this page (http://alpharev.nl/)
Has anyone here modified his partition system ? What would you recommand as partition sizes if running the ROM from Albinoman ? How would you proceed ?
Any experienced problem ?
Thanks in advance.

Unless you have REALLY specific needs to do this, I wouldn't mess with it. It's very easy to brick your phone when partitioning the entire internal memory. If you make it unreable somehow it coudl be very difficult to recover it.
And there probably isn't a huge need to do so. The internal storage has 1GB of memory. That should give you more than enough room for a couple hundred apps and all of their data. Keep in mind that the apps using large amounts of data space will all use the SD card anyway. So they take up even less room internally. And most apps are only like 0-5MB anyway.
The system partition is about 3GB so there is deffinately extra space that you could be using there. But you could expand the user partition to maybe 3GB. Is that extra 2GB really worth it? Especially when you can just go buy a 64GB SD card for like $40? Or a 32GD SD card for like $20? Then you'll have more storage than you would ever needon a smartphone with 0 risk of bricking the device.
However, I'm not your father and can't tell you what to do.
So if you still want to try it...start your research here.
http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...ng-htc-sensation-4gb-internal-memory-for-data
Then research some more. And then some more after that. Make sure you REALLY know what you're doing.
I see your point, I don't have 4 Gb internal or system. Adding both I can count 2 Gb.
I still have 443 o on system and 564 on Internal so I guess I'll be safe for a looooong time.
HTC Desire had such low memory it was a must to do so, we also had A2SD and so on. I also did a ext3 partition on the SD card of my sensation and did not see any improvement, so I went back today to full FAT32. I evolve just slowly from desire world / thinking into sensation but still, I'm learning
I guess the juice is not worth the squeeze in this case. Thanks for the heads up.
Re: [FAQ] FAQ and Troubleshooting Help for Albino's CM10.1 Android 4.2.2 ROM
First of all, thank you Skipjacks for this thread! You have made a n00b feel very welcome!
My question is regarding Acid Audio with this rom... I have come from Frankinstine's 4.1.2 AOKP build and the sound really blew away! I have a pair of beats headphones and I don't feel it's as loud on this rom and even gets tinny at high volumes.
Is it a complicated process to flash? Do I need to remove existing audio setup (DSP)? Do I re flash acid after any updates to this rom? Where be the links I need?
Thanks in advance!

Sweep2Wake : How to enable it
Not a question but something I just found out and want to share with other noobs on this ROM.
I already heard about sweep2wake, did not know what it was. I just flashed the 7 mar build so I had to redo my /system/etc/init.d/99kernel adjustments. I found out that the sweep2wake is to be enabled here and not in any other settings or apps !
Why would you want to activate it ? Well IMHO and coming from HTC desire, we had trackball wake, which was very useful. On this ROM you either have Power Button or Volume Rocker wake, which I did not like. Sweep2Wake enables you to wake your device by swiping from the HOME button to the Search button. Pretty cool for me.
How to do it ?
Use ES File Explorer or any other file manager allowing you to go up to the root.
Go to /system/ etc/ init.d
Edit the 99kernel file with some txt editor (You need to enable root access to save the file !)
Find the line # Enable Sweep2Wake
Replace 0 by 1 or 2 if you want backlight or not.
Reboot
Let your screen go to sleep
Slide your finger over the buttons (starting from home)
Smile / Say "Sweeeeeet"
Thank Beri

I don't know if it works or not as I've never tried it. But here is the process to try it and find out.
Make a full nandroid backup of your current set up so you can revert if this screws things up. I cannot stress this enough.
Freeze DSP manager using something like System Tuner. Don't uninstall it so you can go right back to it if this fails.
Reboot into recovery and flash the Acid mod.zip. You are on your own to find the zip file.
Reboot and see what happens. If its all messed up simply reboot into recovery and restore you nandroid backup and all will back like it was 10 minutes prior.
Whatever happens, report the results back here so others can learn from them

Thanks for this thread SkipJacks
After doing a clean wipe you know even after flashing the newest gapps i noticed that my phone still remembers my wifi password and a bunch of settings that i had in the previous rom. I usually just do a clean data wipe and dont mess with the other stuff like wipe dalick cache and things of that nature. almost like it didnt fully wipe everything. My question is, is there another way to erase the data that saves my wifi password and system settings?
using 4ext btw
Two things which hasn't been for the last two builds.
1) If I try to enable video-recording with the front-facing camera (the camera app crashes with the message "Error cannot open gallary").
2) In previous builds I was able to do a Network scan (by that I mean I could get a list of available Network operators).
But now if I attempt to do this I get the error "Error while scanning for network".
Any idears on howto solve these errors?
