So my friend azoller- I did as you said and after 2 tries of slimdroid - Icy - its finally working. Will post back any issues but I get antutu score of 8200- not sure how that stacks! Also I will now do a nandroid backup to SD card- I assume that will be my safe harbor in case something messes up (pls. enlighten). Also I see from another reply you posted about waiting till tomorrow for ZV8- does that mean I shd. flash the latest version too tomorrow? thanks again

It's a bug on ics once the bootloader is unlocked. Leave your phone plugged in to the computer and then restart the phone and the computer well then see it
thanks guys! Few quick qs about this ROM and my LG spectrum:
- how can I tell this ROM to save all future apps OR data (as needed) on my SD card as opposed to phone's hard drive- where's that option.
- how can I look from my PC into my phone's hard drive (4GB) and create/manage a folder there to use the 1.5GB or so of space that it says is avialable.
- If phone's memory is 4GB and say 400MB is used by ICY fusion ROM and another 200MB in recovery etc...shd. I not be using only less than 1GB if I have not installed anything else ?
Again, just a little googling got me to How to Install Android Apps to the SD Card by Default & Move Almost Any App to the SD Card
Long story short. Either issue "adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2" from your computer using adb or install Terminal Emulator from the play story open it, and issue "su" then "pm setInstallLocation 2"
Use any root capable file manager. (root explorer, es file manager, etc). Change directory from the sdcard to the root file system (usually shown as /). Anything that is not under /sdcard is on your internal memory. However, even this will not reclaim all that space as android partitions out the disk space just like linux does. So many of the folders that you see are actually just mount points for other partitions.
However... that said. This is somewhat of a bad idea. If you tie up the space on the internal partitions and the phone is expecting to use that space for something... bad things happen.[/quote]
Refer to previous answer about using the internal memory. It's not a great idea.
But keep in mind. You're counting 400MB from this rom based on the download size. That zip is going to expand, im guessing to at least 600MB or so. Beyond this ROM though, there are quite a few other things squirreled away on that internal memory. Firmware, factory settings, boot, cache, logs, and a good few other things that android's space function probably isn't taking into account.
Just for funsies. From a terminal emulator issue:
su
df
This will show you the disk space use for mounted file systems.
for example, /firmware is allocated 1.5gb of the internal memory. On my phone it only uses 28.2M. But think about it... do you really need that other 1.4gb bad enough that you'd really want to take up the space that the phone thinks it has available for firmware?
...Probably not.
*edit*
Sorry, i missed where you were looking for just the 1.5gb it says you have. That's stored in /data (still need a root capable file manager to get there). This is where all your personal settings and such get stored as well though, so I would probably avoid filling it to the brim.
I thought you were looking to recover all the extra space on the 4gb internal.

Like az said titanium backup will backup your apps. There are other options but that's the one I use.
I don't think you can look into your internal phone hard drive from your pc...only the sd card...you need to use a root file explorer to go into your phone's internal memory
Since 400 + 200 = 600 then yes. But if you have been using computers for more than a week you should know the advertised space and actual usable space are never the same on hard drives.
I've played around just a bit- but looking good so far AZ.
One small peeve tho - in call logs, when I see missed calls, the phone number and time are evident (light on black background) but the name is not, unless I select to see it...is that because of theme I chose or a detail missed ??

That is from the system theming. It isn't complete quite yet. If it bugs you too much, you could switch to CM10.1 or AOKP42 until it is finished.
ok..I'll wait...I'm generally quite faithful to whatever I'm attached
..About battery life on this, which is nowhere close to what I got with Droid X on VXL before, is there anything that I can use while I'm on ICY- like the V6 scripts I see guys suggesting elsewhere on this forum?
Or what other tweaks can I do to ensure this prolongs the juice as much- I keep brightness to only 50% already.

I find that about 25% brightness is sufficient. Also, what are your cpu settings?
cpu settings..how to find them ?
if you mean over-under clocking..I havent done that. If it'll be helpful with battery, I can try it..How it'll be done (which app do you recommend) and what settings ?

I would personally recommend setcpu but if you want something free, no-frills cpu control is pretty good. Then, set max to 1296, min to 192, and use ondemand or conservative with deadline. That should help with battery. If you notice any lag, you could use interactive to help fix that.

This ROM has been awesome! One grief I've had is that 3.3 and 3.4 have had non working Wi-Fi for me. It recognizes networks in range but will not connect. Reflashed back to 3.2 and works like a charm. Any ideas or thoughts on how to diagnose?
ok....so I shd. still do Ortrigger's steps mentioned above to improve battery and disregard AZ's undervolting cause its already done by ORT...Right? Pls. confirm before I execute...
