    Do i need to do a clean wipe and install to make everything work. If even just a *little* better than without? I haven’t put anything on my phone, waiting for my Class 6 to arrive so now is the time?

  • AndroidFan

    @Wayne: Yep I always suggest a clean install. Helps to narrow down de-bugging process if needed.

    It amazes me how many people will pull their hair out for hours dealing with 3rd party app FCs, blaming it all on the modder, than just wiping and starting fresh.

    I know its too much for people to re-install apps on their mobile

  • DancingWombat

    @AndroidFan: Partitioning is pretty much seems to be required for 4.1 to run in a stable way. I wouldn’t advocate running 4.1 without partitioning the card.

    @Joe Levi: Go to your Settings, and look at the SD card info. You should have a “SD Card Secondary” section, that will tell you if the ROM sees, and is using, the ext2/3/4 partition.

    @Craig,

    I don’t know where I read it, but I’ll pass along a quote:

    “With flashing ROMs and using the toilet, 99% of all problems can be solved by wiping.” – unknown

    That said, I haven’t wiped my phone since before 4.0.4 stable (and I’ve flashed all the experimental ROMs since then), and I haven’t had a problem. Your mileage my vary.

    I’ll mirror what AndriodFan said, clean install (including wipe first) is always a good idea.

    If you’re experiencing FCs, wipe, then re-flash, THEN report any problems.

    @DancingWombat,

    “SD card secondary: Total space 457MB, Available space 366MB” but no mention of the swap partition, nor what filesystem(s) is(are) in use.

    Am I missing something?

    No, that’s about right. Mine doesn’t mention the swap either, I think I saw Cyanogen say something about that in his Twitter stream,

    Sounds like it’s working, but if you want to get in to specifics, then go in to the Terminal Emulator and run “mount”. It will be more info than you need, but also show you where everything’s mounted, and what fs.

    @DancingWombat

    Thanks for pointing out the additional storage section under Settings > SD

    Looks like it might have been successful, not sure what the “mount” command is but i’ll do some research but i’m 99.99% sure its there if the ext4 shows up

  • http://www.JoeLevi.com Joe Levi

    @Craig,

    “mount” is a command-line utility that you use in to “attach” some external storage so that’s it’s accessible to the system. Of course that’s a gross over-simplification.

    It’s not something that most Android users would ever have to do (us tweekers on the other-hand… ;) .

    Hey guys, i’m currently running MCR 2.2 on my Orange branded HTC Hero handset. I’ve heard lots of good things about cyanogen’s release’s, and have been looking through this site today and they sound cool – donut oh yes!! Question is does this rom work on the Hero and if so which version is the best to put on? I saw stable as 4.0.04 or something i think? and latest is this one…what ya all reckon?

  • Scammah

    Hello unable to find this information. Is Linux-swap something I should have or not with Cyanogen? I noticed some information in the changelog and was curious before I preceded. Thanks

  • http://www.JoeLevi.com Joe Levi

    @Scammah,

    If you’ve got an sdcard with a swap partition on it Cyanogen’s ROMs uses that swap partition by default.

    (Please correct me if I’m wrong.)

    As AndroidFan pointed out, a swap partition is not ~required~ to use Cyanogen’s ROMs, but I ~recommend~ running with one. :)

    @Joe Levi: Thanks. Now I just have to find a good tutorial to partition a 16gb sd card. When I go to “Parted” it doesn’t show me what I have in MB. It shows in GB it gets confusing that way.

  • http://www.JoeLevi.com Joe Levi

    @Scammah,

    There have been positive reports of people using sdparted with 16GB cards: http://bit.ly/11lYMq

    @Joe Levi: Thanks I will check it out looks promising.

  • Lorenzo Aliani

    I want to know why ‘on all cyanognemod rom htc sync not working and Exchange,,

  • Zoc

    @45/Anthony

    You just made my day. My HTC Magic was pretty much useless with Hero (nice but slow on Dream) and without 3G (‘t was but the missing APN entry and the magnificent Interweb provided me with access parameters.)

    Cyanogenmod now looks very promising.

    Many thanks!
