My 8GB Class 6 works nicely on it

BTW the new Contacts mod from Wysie (included in Cyan's) is excellent, so much customisation for the whole Phone.apk and contacts subsystem

Do you have a decent sdcard? Running apps from it may be better suited to a higher class card.

Yep. A Transcend 8GB Class 6 card.

If you do indeed format your card to include an ext4 and swap partition don't forget to back up your card first.

I know thats like saying don't forget to breathe but I'd rather say it and you do it anyway than not say it and you forget

New update from Cyanogen later that's to sort out some bugs.

What bugs?

 

[ElliorR]

As long as they've got 6 legs and not 8 I am ok with them.

You know what I meant!

 

[ElliorR]

I've no idea what bugs but if you go through the CyanogenMod thread on XDA, people with G1's and Magic's are always having issues.

Glad we're not among them.

Maybe we aren't but some of the bug fixes might make some things a bit smoother or more reliable for us.

Bit slow on the uptake here, but just papped on 4.2.10.1... LOVE IT!

All super quick, phone hasnt felt this good for a few updates now

 

[Reppyboyo]

Im still running on stock firmware (1.6 I beleive)
Whats the benifits of this Cyanogenmod rom?

 

[ElliorR]

The benefits are numerous, fast due to a lot of optimisation, lots of Android 2.0.1 features included.

The problem you have, if you are 1.6 Donut is there doesn't seem to be a way to root the phone to allow for using a custom rom. Several posters here have tried and failed.

 

[ElliorR]

Cyanogen has tweeted about multitouch in the browser and gallery. Hopefully it'll be up later tonight.

 

[mrk]

I want swiping in gallery!

*hopes*

The problem you have, if you are 1.6 Donut is there doesn't seem to be a way to root the phone to allow for using a custom rom. Several posters here have tried and failed.

As one who has failed I would still like for you to try rooting / downgrading. You may have more luck than the few of us that have tried.

 

[ElliorR]

Flashed 4.2.11.1 and alls well. Multitouch is a little over zealous if you are not careful but Cyanogen has stated it's a work in progress.

 

[V_R]

.10 and .11 have both killed my phone,

Just locks the whole thing up.

Had to do a Nandroid restore each time.

Any thing i can do to try and sort it?

 

[mrk]

Might be your SD card if you're not using ext/swap etc?

If you have a RA recovery (1.5.2) you could try formatting/partitioning again and using EXT4 then moving apps+dalv to the SD card again?

recent updates i've had to wipe my dalvik cache.
