Thanks man, seriously. You are giving me free Android/CM7 lessons and I REALLY appreciate it.
About the task manager. Yeah, if it wasn't included I assume it was for something useful. I use (sometimes) the advance task killer, I do not abuse of that since I know it damage the OS, but this app doesn't actually terminate "active apps", it terminates process that the OS mantains.
So yeah, I will terminate my music and active apps from "running services" and that's it.
About the 40MB less in my internal memory compared to the stock (using the same apps and apps2sd), I read that it is normal that after you put CM7 the internal memory downs a bit, since the rom its a bit bigger than a normal stock rom.
But I discovered that CM7 lets you move almost every app to the SD (despite not being able to use widget or see its notifications), while the stock rom didn't let you that.
It seems App2SD doesn't work as good with this "extra feature" that CM has and some apps that figured as "not movable" were indeed movable, so I moved some of them to the SD and now I have 89MB free. I miss my 118MB but this feature of moving almost any app to the SD will compensate my internal space in the future
Yeah, it seems CM doesn't have a log "directory". Quiet wierd, It should. Maybe we will need to find it somewhere
So far I REALLY LIKE CM7. I'm really happy man. I was really scared prior to flashing it but so far I love it. It runs like a new phone.
Obviously it has some new tweaks that I think it might be "bugs" (yeah, I'm kind of paranoic about the bugs
) but it ends up they are just that, tweaks.
For example, it doesn't beep and notify when the battery is fully charged. I notice its fully charge because the battery indicator and the battery widget doesn't have the "bolt" anymore.
I love this, since the notification sound upon fully charged was something I really hated. But I thought it was a bug, and I read on a forum that it wasn't.
Other silly thing is that the screen doesn't turn on for a few seconds after the arrival of a new text message. Again, I like this better than the previous behavior. But I thought it was a bug
Besides that I managed to investigate and configure most "changed" things at my own. I really miss the "enter" key on the keyboard while texting for example. It appears while filling some "forms" but not while texting. I don't know why. If you know how to put it back I will be happy
Another thing I miss is the Memo.apk. But I read that it was a Samsung app and that's why this CM doesn't have it. I guess I will have to find something similar on the market.
About partitioning the SD. I'm still new on Android. I have this phone for 2 months now. I thought I would never touch it and look now. I guess I will leave that for the future
