Android Phone owners thread

Thx Alpha you hit it on the spot.

Basically what I linked shows how you can create two partitions. One of ext2 or 3 for the linux portion that the phone can use for it's apps and additional internal storage and another one of Fat32 for any music, video, and whatever else. I use 500mb for int ext3 and 7500mb for fat32 personally.

There aren't much improvement in terms of performance, instead it expands the limited amount of internal memory to install more apps. I'm just getting past the 100ish apps mark and I definitely needed the extra room.

You can do this many ways, but the easiest for me was to use a terminal from my phone. Of course to have access to terminal or make split partition usable, you'll need to root your phone. It can be a bit daunting, but if you can mess with bios and overclock with ease, it shouldn't be difficult for you to pick it up after some reading from xda developers. There are some great guides as well.

If you are looking for a bit of performance gain you should look into this thread for an app called swapper.

You'll need root for this as well. This app basically creates a swappable page space on your sd your phone can use as temp ram. Helped me quite a bit with multitasking/web browsing while streaming something to listen to.

Have you tried any of the new Hero Builds?

[XFreeRollerX]

I been using the CM builds - the UI tweaks are much better than any of the 3 main builds I tested

I rooted my phone 4 days ago

I been waiting to see if someone was going to say oh no! The phone crash but there has been very good reviews with JACHero 2.5

I own a G1, but the doggon cupcake update has not come to my phone yet.

[Salku]

Are you running the stock version of the G1?

It's a great build. LOVE the UI. but it's too slow for my likings. I'm running Cyanogen. x)

Refer to my post earlier in this thread, it will tell you how to manually update to Cupcake.(Still stock/un-rooted.)


Edit: Here's the exact post. Post
