Root XtrSense4.06.0.1 installed

[Peter123]

I have just installed XtrSense4.06.0.1 - it is AWESOME.
1. For starter, I made titanium backup fro all apps,
2. made nandroid backup
3. Copied everything to PC
4. Added the EXT3 partition
5. Copied back the SDcard content
6. Copied the ROM to the SD root
7. Wiped all and Flushed the ROM
8. Setup sync
9. Setup gscript; added app2sd and cache2sd, everything else left to default
9. Restored my apps using the Ti-backup
10. --- The ONLY thing that did not re store quite well
was swype beta. I re-downloaded swype beta. Now it works.

Summa summarum:
Everything works, (I have not checked Google voice though), fast, really fast.
With 10+ plus apps installed the phone's internal storage now has over 140 Mb free space.
The speed difference showed up remarkably the I ran Maps in Sat view. the loading/displaying new tiles of the map is much faster now.
Zach, congratulations, you have created a Masterpiece.
I also wantet to thank others (LED, Frisco, OTD, scary alien, KarateExplosions6) for help and encouragement.

Thanks for posting this! Wanted to make sure the new version runs well before I go ahead and install it.

So do you like the OC by default now? How's the performance and battery compared to xtrSense 4.0.5?

And by step 4 of your installation, did you mean that you setup your SD card for apps2sd? Previously you weren't running it?

If I already have apps2sd running on 4.0.5, do I need to run the gscripts again to enable it on 4.0.6.1? Or maybe it depends on whether I install it over my current ROM or do a wipe first.

Yes, the OC is on by default. My questions is how fast is the switch-over from the standby (245MHz) to the
high gear (710MHz) when I do something with the phone.?
At step 4 all I had is an empty SD card with an EXT3 partition.
Next I copied to the SD root the ROM and also the content of the SD card that I had saved to PC at the very beginning.
This was followed by wipe and flushing the ROM.
The sequence is good (as suggested by KarateExplosion6) because when after the reboot, when you
setup the phone (sync, etc) your contact photos are already on the SD card and available.
I did the app2sd and cache2sd via gscript as a last step.

As I heard you don't need to wipe when upgrading from 4.0.5 to 4.0.6.1
And I am not sure that you should rerun gscript for apps2sd and cache2sd.

I just did the same thing, and dunno how to move the apps to my sd card

Wow, just tried the Sat Layer in Maps, and it's SUPER fast.

I went through with a clean install of 4.0.6.1 and wow, it's AMAZING!!

The speed is insane and it's so solid and reliable. I love this ROM so much. Thanks for the help

Has anyone tried LOWERING the cpu speed back to stock? The one main reason I'd think of going back to xtr was the fact that he kept the cpu speed at stock...If he's starting to overclock for a 2.1 rom...I'm getting worried. Keeping cpu speed at stock=less strain on cpu, possibly longer life, less overheating, longer battery life.

In the Gscript app Zach has included a script to set the CPU back to stock speeds - I did that yesterday. The ROM is still nice and zippy - in fact if there was a difference in speed I couldn't notice it.

I went back to the stock cpu speed. I prefer longer battery. And, this rom is so quick at the stock speed that I do not see the need to overclock.

Haha, I just saw KarateExplosions DETAILED explination to you over at XDA. I'm going to be flashing 4.0.6 later tonight and will be using his post to set everything up as well. Very excited to take this bad boy for a spin
