Generally, you don't want it bigger than maybe 320 MB. Any bigger and it won't have any space on the system partition, which means no boot or bootloop.
But even thats kinda big.

Thanks for the quick reply! Right now I'm at 612 for the whole /system folder and have deleted every app that seems it is not required. There is probably no way that it ever could fit.
Our EVOS only have 395 mb space, you have a long ways to go.

Yea you're gona have to do a lot of work, since that phone has 1gb ram. It may be able to be done, but you're gona have to put some work into it.

Start symlinking everything and only keep the essentials needed for it to boot then you can work on adding everything back that's needed when you get it booting.

It doesn't look likely: http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/14/htc-sense-3-0-will-only-support-sensation-evo-3d-flyer-and-new/
Seems like htc has upped the ante on the devices. I have a thunderbolt now and they're saying its a no go for us. I think devs can port over some of the key features tho. Widget locker might be able to kind a replicate the lock screen. That or someone in Dev land will create an app that will replicate. A home replacement app can definitely replicate the behavior ie the carousel home screen scrolling. Google spb mobile shell5 for android. Regina 3d home has an animated flip clock!!! Trust me. Home replacement app developers can do this!! Fede can do it if he does his homework. Let's flood his forums with the idea. Lol. Imo he should definitely step his game up before lp gets left behind like helix launcher...
I think htc is full of s#!+ tho. How they gonna say that the firmware requires dual core and the htc flyer (single core) will have it. Sheesh!

How much space is needed? Looks like I could probably easily steal 50-75mb from datadata and put it in system. I only have 22mb of 130 used... Depends on how full it ever gets though.
How much space is used in everyone's datadata partition? Open a terminal and type df and look under the used column.
This would be really cool.

I'm kind of thinking that if Sense 3.0 is sluggish on the Sensation, it'll be something like unusable on the Incredible.
Is there a version of the stock rom without all the unnecessary apps that come preinstalled on the phone?

dont think so, but doesnt really matter. you can delete them easily by just opening the zip and deleting what you dont want and then flashing the rom. be careful, sense roms have apps that rely on each other and deleting one could break a function. its trial and error to see what can be taken out and what needs to stay. just play with it

Also, once I install a rom and want to get rid of bloat that I don't use, I just use root explorer to delete what I don't use........but as said above, be careful what you delete, because certain things in any rom depend on each other.

I had this problem too....are you partitioned? If so, make sure its EXT3. Format your SD Card, put only the ROM and TB folder on the SD. Flash it, and then if it boots put all your crap back on the SD card.

It really depends on how many apps you plan on having. I would think 512 would be more than enough though. I have 1gb partitioned on my 16gb card and I barely fill it up.

Hey, I need help keeping an app alive. Let me explain:
The other day I tried out cm7, and one app (Cut the Rope) would FC on me when restoring it. Now I believe this has to due with data corruption it had because I had this issue when going from EH17 to EC05 (however Cut the Rope still worked as long as it was on my internal storage).
What I'm wondering is if there's a way to keep my saved data of Cut the Rope when switching ROMs. Mostly because I was really far in the game, and it would suck to redo everything.
Any suggestions?
I lose progress on games all the time, its a sad result of going back and forth between froyo and gb.

Go into data/data, find the name of the app (com.xxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxx.wtf idk), and copy it peice by peice until you find the right file that has the gamesaves.

Maybe some of you on custom ROMs have noticed that your second core functions strange, which would also mean terrible battery life and abnormally hot phones.
Well, this is due to something causing the cores to switch governors to "performance" upon boot. The only way to fix it is from a script or other app that controls CPU. That's not all. The second core seems to not function according to specs. It will either always stay on, or always stay off. mpdecision doesn't appear to work properly.
Well, I've narrowed this down to "samsungani" and "samsungpowersound" which are located in /system/bin/. Removing these at an attempt to get custom boot animations working and to get rid of boot sounds are what's causing the funky core behaviors.
The fix is to restore the two files and chmod them 755 as well as chgrp to 2000 to get them back to the way they're supposed to be.
I'm not sure if any of this effects custom kernels but it sure does on the Stock kernel.
The file I uploaded will restore the samsungani and samsungpowersoundplay files to /system/bin/ as well as copy over silent PowerOn and PowerOff sounds.
Wow that's awesome that you figured this out. Great job!!

Just flashed it rom definitively seems alot more responsive I was seeing the lag and just had some plain weird stuff going on glad we have a dev lime you to find stuff like this and squash it. Do we need to flash this after we flash a rom obviously your rom will have the fix so I'm not worried about it but for others who arent using your rom.
Edit: is there any way I can test to insure both cores are doing what they are supposed to be doing like an app per say

Well, it really only will matter if your current ROM includes a different boot animation and/or removes those files. In any other case, it will do nothing.

OK thanks again love the rom I know you get asked this a lot but if you ever need a tester let me know I use to test for mijuah but my son stole my s2 so I'm bored now lol.
Zip applied, and I had to duplicate the process to confirm what I thought I saw:
Been running blazer 1.6 for a few days now and I honestly don't know what (if any) boot animations are built into that rom, but in the spirit of testing (and flash addiction) I used this zip.
This is what I noticed (and duplicated to confirm)--
Chainfire's live dmesg/logcat (I used paid versions) were replaced by this zip file.
When I "reinstalled" the first attempt found no boot animation files. I attempted install again and this time it did indeed "repair" the logcat/dmesg boot screen.
This is my first dual core so I have no experience in these apps working or not on such phones.
If this is wide spread then perhaps chainfire might want to look into an update to his code, if this is specific to the sgs3 then maybe we have deeper issues to delve into.
