I'm not sure if this is a rom issue or boot manager issue but when I flash chevyno1's 1100 MHz mv kernel, I get suck at the M. Anyone else have this problem?

I have never played with the heap. How would you go about tweaking that?
Clear cache and dalvik cache and try flashing again. Your phone might not like the combination.
INSTALLATION (only if currently running version 1.8.19 or later with CWM or RZR Recovery)
- NANDROID BACKUP!
- Run Updater app (Thats it!)
- If apps do not show up after initial flash, rebooting should make them reappear
- If you run into problems, lots of FC, reinstall with wiping data / factory reset
Everytime I try to run a2sd command it just says a2sd not found ?
Chewy, I am still going through your wifi logs. I think the issue w/ importing bookmarks is that you are trying to import bookmarks in a file format that the miui browser does not support. I think it can only import bookmarks that were previously exported with miui browser.Still the same 2 issues for me. Wifi drop and reconnect and native browser fc trying to import bookmarks ________________________You had me at herro
Are you sure you are running the latest build? On terminal or adb shell, you can go to /system/bin and look for file called a2sd. It should be there. Not sure why it is saying command not found.Everytime I try to run a2sd command it just says a2sd not found ?
Thanks for passing on info. I may look at lowering heap to 32 mb for next week. BTW, what swap option are you using?so...I have been playing with MIUI since, what, last October? Well, I had some time off yesterday from work (and wife and kids) and decided to do a study on kernels, speeds and voltages (the results of which are not important as each d1 seems to have different preferences). Anyhow - what I did stumble on is that my droid HATES a large VM Heap size. It seems that there is a movement to go with larger heap sizes as this 'seems' to make larger apps, such as big games, work faster. This obviously works well for devices with larger memories (512) but for the d1, particularly if you are running multiple apps and background processes...this seems counterproductive. For kicks I tested heap sizes of 24m, 32, 40 and 48m and then benchmarked using linpack and quadrant as well as running (the same) programs and just getting an overall feel for the devices responsiveness. Note: I use this phone for work and with the exception of solitare, rummy and jewels do not do any heavy gaming on my phone.I did benchmark significantly higher with 24m heap size - but more importantly my d1 no longer lags to any degree and actually benchmarks faster than both the last froyo miui build and petes last froyo build. Is there anyone else out there that could validate what I am seeing? Thanks, and by the way...thanks Magi - I am really enjoying this build. Not seeing the WiFi issue.I used VM Heap Tool to adjust, and would like to know if anyone else has played with this and what your results/feelings are with how it alters performance.
The idea behind swap is to create space for files to be cached so they can be quickly accessed. It is sort of like RAM, but much slower, so it isn't a perfect replacement. It does allow more memory to be used by apps in the background so they do not get killed by android os. In android, swap is not used by default. There are a couple ways it can be implemented. One way is to create a file that is used to save all this cached data. That is what is created with the option 'file'. It creates a file on the /cache partition of the phone. The other way swap can be used is with compcache. This compresses the ram so that there is more space available. The extra space in ram created by compression is converted into a virtual swap space. Compcache can be started on boot by using the 'compcache' option with swap. The default option on boot from a fresh install will be set to 'none', as in there will be no swap file and compcache will not be used. I have had good performance with using no swap for most activities. If you do a lot of multitasking or use bigger apps / games, you will probably want to enable one or both of them.Okay read your post on the swap option but im still kinda confused as to what is the difference is between the default swap (at boot) and swap file if i wanted to run that?
