Root Cyanogen 7.0.3 Light edition

Still, no a2sd is not for me. You can't go happily installing large amount of apps without worrying about the storage shortage.
If Rastaman has 90 apps with 90MB free, I have 131 apps to put there. I can only guess that with that amount of apps I'll quickly start partitioning my SD card again for a2sd.

Another advantage of a2sd is that you can use a larger /system partition to try different ROMs, knowing that you can still install the same amount of apps.

Finally, with a2sd I can control what I'm moving to SD card: apk, lib, or Dalvik cache. Google a2sd blindly moves part of the application only and always leave Dalvik on internal memory. Notice that the size of the Dalvik cache is also increasing with the amount of apps installed: mine is already 100MB large!
 
Well I thought I'd give it a go and I think I'll keep CM7 skinny, only I'll install Darktremor too. CM7 is skinny compared to a sense rom and I was surprised when so much more was lopped off again by CM7 light. Even AOSP has bloatware :eek:!

Not sure I agree. Obviously my set up is a bit more extreme, but I have 108 apps including flash, angry birds, cordy - all the large stuff and I have 180MB free. You can still move apps to FAT32 using standard methods. Instead of filling part of a 1GB dead-space ext, you take up only what you need on FAT

Rastaman, dont forget to keep data/local/download cleared down. I have a shorcut to a script manager script

Code: 
rm /data/local/download/*
on a home screen. Also I have it in init.d to clear on every boot too.
 
so can i use oxygen table with this rom without the need for my ext partition? what apps does this miss that are common in most other apps?

I might have larger apps than Flash and Angry birds: I use also Opera and Copilot (each of them about 24MB).

About /data/local/download - this is something I don't have to worry about. The Download cache is by S2E script moved to /sd-ext/download location, and it gets cleaned automatically. :)

You guys need to try S2E + L2E script combo. It's awesome! You have individual control over what exactly to move (at apps level) and it works flawless on CM7 (I imagine also on CM7 Light). :)

point is we dont want them :P
i have no need for them, i have loads of apps i dont even use that often
seriously

do you need all 130apps, i could imagine half of those you dont even use. i know i dont really use half of my 90+

also the calculation does not include system, this is data only and im not using gingerbread/froyo a2sd either :P

I found the Manu1.4 made CM7 run like a pig in a shower cubicle. It would silence Pro Amp for seconds at time!

Not found a problem so far, though haven't done any music listening since installing, so will see. Overnight battery was fine (79% -> 77% over 7 hours).

Anyway, we're expecting some new test kernels from EViollet today, so I doubt I'll still be using it by the evening :)
