There is a thread in the development section about setting up a2ext so there might be some info in there. I would think it would be a similar process but no idea. If however its done and you have to format your sd card, MAKE SURE TO BACK IT UP. Formatting will delete everything on your sd card

Yea, thanks. I already got everything backed up.
I saw the thread, but I dont want to apply the wrong command and then my phone wont turn on or something.
I would like someone to tell me how to do it.

Back when I had a htc hero, I asked the same question and so did others.. If I recall a dev told me to pretend I'm setting my SD card for A2SD but to put 0 for swap size and 0 for the memory reserved as well try that, that's what I did and took it off, then reformat it in the PC as well to be in the safe side if you want.

Ok i set them both to 0 (zero)
Now i get continuous cyanogen loop. I deleted catche, and Dalvik cache.
Should I "Wipe data/factory reset" ?
then apply cyanogen 6.1.1 again
or does the "Wipe data/factory reset" root?

Yeah, I'd suggest you do a full wipe and flash a ROM of your choice, I'd recommend the latest CM7 nighty! It is by far flawless to me and fast! Btw always do a full wipe when flashing ROM's as it will delete any old files that can cause issues and nope it wont lose you root

Its the same thing, except his apparently doesn't wipe dalvik [from what I heard], and his isn't edify compatible, i.e. won't work on CW 3.0+.

I use ra but can I back up with mybackup root and restore after or just start all over I mean the settings and home and all I got it all set up already I would hate to do it all over again.

Yea, you can restore apps with titanium, mybackup, ect, after you've booted into the rom.

deodex: easier to tweak, lighter on ram, heavier on space.
odex: easier on space, tougher on tweaking and ram usage.
Personally, I'd go with a deodexed rom if you're using sense.

Help me please..

I see more people look at the General section more then the Q and A so im going to post this here. Im running CM7, 7.0.3. Ive been using it since the cm7 release candidates. This happened during the RC's too, i would be using it, and it would work beautifully for about 3 weeks, then near the end of the week i would boot the phone, and then a bunch of apps force close. Every app that i open force closes, i cant do anything on my phone without something force closing. I cant receive texts, check emails or anything. I open an app and it just closes. Im really really sick of it. I tried re flashing 7.0.3, didnt work. Im looking for either a fix for this, a for sure fix. Or looking for guidance to the original froyo stock rom with sense. It might just be a gingerbread problem, i was rooted on stock for over a month before trying roms. I really need my phone to be working. Please give me some help i would greatly appreciate it!!!!

Well then i make that 1%. Last time it happened when i had Cyanogens last update to CM7 i tried fix permissions, both in recovery and through rom manager. Didnt help. Only thing that helped was installing the update for the next version, worked for about 3 weeks, and now im getting the same force closes. I already tried it today before you posted, didnt help to fix permissions. I can have rom manager open for about 5 seconds then it FC's. Never had this problem on my stock rooted froyo.

Any help? i need phone working alright by tomorrow hopefully.

Can you flash a 2.2 rom.
Sent from my Optimized Inc using XDA Premium App

Idk, can i? I thought you had to do something else to downgrade from gingerbread to froyo.

Nope. Download another 2.2 rom and flash back. The only problem is the kernel but that's in the rom and would change when you flash. I flash between gbread and froyo all the time. If you go Froyo I recommend a z rom. If you want you can do newtoroots new optimized shift its really stable.

Wipe data factory reset, cache. Don't wipe SD card. Go to advanced then and wipe dalvik cache too. Just don't wipe SD card.

My personal opinion it is. Very stable. But all the roms are great just depends what your looking for. This seems to be most stable for my needs but I haven't tried the dream teams synergy nightlies yet either.

Well its running alright, had a couple of random force closes for reasons i dont know. Its fairly slow rom tbh.. I have about 70 MB of memory normally, with CM i had about 200. Ran fast. I tried to look at overclocking, but no app would allow me to. Would any kernel be okay for it? Like chads incredikernel betas? I really need some more performance in this thing, its just running so darn slow! Other then that i really do like the rom.
Is there any way to kinda increase the memory available? Besides closing background apps and removing widgets.

Well i installed beta 8, and it wont go passed my HTC Incredible white screen now, it goes to that then goes black.. Uhhhhh what do i do now? I can get into recovery tho. I cant transfer any files. ****
Someone tell me what to do now... Im screwed..
Was able to mount through recovery, transfering the rom to the phone and going to reflash. ugh!!
Another edit, gah i wish i could just get s-on and not worry about rooting now anymore lol. I just want good performance and a useful phone.

Is there a bug with browser??

Ok so im having issues with the browser. On calkulins 2.8.1 i touch the browser icon and it locks me out (black screen). My work around lock and unlock until the lockscreen appears then i unlock and quickly press the home button, because if i dont it locks me out and i get a black screen! Unfortunately its happening also on the Blend rom! So as im typing this i just remembered it did not use calkulins format all zip! Could that be the issue? I personally dont think so but would lile to hear what you guys think and if you are also experiencing this issue also!! If theres already a post on this ill delete this thread!
Thanks in advance!!

If you are having it on different roms but aren't wiping between flashes that's probably your problem. Use the format all and reflash. Then report back.

Actually doing it manually i go to wipe data then wipe cache then wipe davlik you know were im going with this! But that my method i use wen i flash another rom! Im going to flash Blazer rom and flash the format all zip as of now! Will report back if this is an issue! Odd thing is no one else said they have this issue maybe i do need to flash format all zip... And i thought i knew it all lol

I have this issue on all roms I try. I've wiped everything and gone back to stock but still no luck. I opened a thread on this a while ago but no answer. My only solution was to use another browser. I use boat browser as an alternative.

Yes FLASH Calkulins format all zip and as of now im on Blazer ROM and stock browser seems to work! Maybe that format all was the key... So far so good FOR NOW THAT IS.... Hmmm will continue to test the browser functionality...
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Was it just the shortcut km a home screen? Or from the drawer too? I get this problem at times on my home screen. Deleting the shortcut and making a new one usually fixes it.

No not a short cut!!.... Im reporting that the format all zip cleared that issue for me! 6hrs of testing and still no issue not complaining lol

Rule of thumb. When wiping dalvik/cash allways do it three times. I never use wipe all script and have never had an issue. Im just oldschool I guess.

if you don't format your system before flashing a new rom, you will have problems like that..

Roughly how many apps can be installed on data using the 65mb hboot? (without using sd-ext)

If you don't use any a2sd script, fairly few. The dalvik cache will be filling up the internal memory fast.

What if i use a2sd but with n, n, y ?
Would that keep the dalvik on internal (making it faster), but move apks to sd-ext?
Would i then be able to install a decent number of apps (say 50) even though the dalvik is on internal?
Or is there a different script for this purpose?
THanks

Dalvik on internal doesn't make a performance difference. Data on internal does.
http://db.tt/m4sQLDOI
Install this zip from recovery. It moves dalvik and data/app to sd-ext. It will be enough for about 100 apps, without affecting performance at all.

Cool thanks bro for the info & zip!
Why is it that it doesn't affect performance though? Is it to do with read speeds of sd cards being so fast that it doesn't matter?

Because dalvik cache isn't as frequently accessed as data, so it doesn't need great sd-card speeds to be fast.

I had about 200 apps on there with no issue, however it's been a while since I used it so obviously modern apps are bigger.

Try what @abaaaabbbb63 posted to move Dalvik Cache to SD if you need to. Any decent a2sd+ script should work too. I don't have a known working one to hand.
