Root need a better ROM

[Anamacha]

I've got Harmonia 1.6.1c installed on my OV, and although it functions okay, I have this annoying problem. That is that I can install apps only about 10-20% of the time. Sometimes it works, most times it doesn't.

I'm thinking that Harmonia is the problem because I started having this issue only after I installed Harmonia 1.3 (I think that's the version I started with). After I restored my backup, I installed a few new apps, then nothing.

Since I upgraded to 1.6.1c the problem has gotten a LITTLE better, but has yet to go away entirely.

So what's a different ROM I can use, that's comparable to Harmonia?

thanks

Try an IHO rom, such as Harmonia 2, or BACKside.
And remember, always backup before you flash.
And do a full wipe/format before installing a different ROM.

I am going to guess that it had the mvdalvik01 script.

Look in \etc\init.d\ and if there is a file named mvdalvik01 move it to your sdcard. Then clear the data and cache for the market. Reboot into recovery and wipe your cache and dalviks and then reboot the mobile. You will find much less space available on your internal memory, but you can download apps again.

Or you can try this simple script:
Open terminal emulator and:
$ su
# cd /cache
# mv download download.old
# mkdir -p /sdcard/cache/download
# ln -s /sdcard/cache/download download

No, harmonia1 doesn't have the 01mvdalvik file.

Sounds like you need to make a decision as to which apps you really need.

What are IHO ROMs?

What would make the script you gave me better than looking in \etc\init.d ? Aside from not losing internal memory (which is one of the reasons I like Harmonia)?

What would be taking up the internal memory, if I did that other thing you gave me before the script?

What would make BACKside any different from Harmonia, aside from the fact it might make my installs work better?

And finally -- where can I get links to these two ROMs?


thanks and apologies for all the questions. Can't afford to brick my phone quite yet
