[HD2 Android NAND Development] ASCIIker:
hey sundawg and team!

you might remember i tried an earlier version of this build about 3-4 weeks ago and gave some feedback but couldn't continue using the build due to some issues. i said i would return to try again another day and that day has come and gone! its been 24 hours since using this build and so far no problems!

i decided to switch to clk and the touch recovery beta 8 (as suggested in the OP) and also decided to do a full wipe+repartition+format of my sdcard. i was using magldr with 4ext recovery when i tried this build last time. now using 2gb ext and 128mb swap, rest as fat32 space.

so one of those steps probably made all the difference between a smooth experience and a troublesome one.

i like clk! magldr is great if you want the option of booting wp7 and/or booting android from sdcard. but clk seems nicer/simpler for all other remaining purposes. i'll know in a few days if my setup's combination of mobile network and clk's ability to provide PPP data access are stable on this build.

regarding the build's experience, i am glad to report that the boot time is fast and after restoring all my apps and sms messages, the build is still running smoothly and with about 140mb free space on /data after restoring 40+ apps.

only minor issue i noticed was that the play store app would sometimes complain during normal searching/using on the play store that there is "no connection" when on wifi. i double checked with gmail and the browser and the connection was good, so it was something that the play store app was experiencing. this happened 2-3 times as i was enqueueing about 40+ apps for download. each time, simply disabling/enabling wifi would fix the issue.

in terms of speed, it feels maybe a tad faster than the last build i was using (dansta's flavor since april 2012!). and boot time is FAST! included apps are to-the-point. i only uninstalled es file explorer after installing root explorer because i prefer root explorer. and i think you should continue to include es file explorer (or any file browser app) because its useful to have one out of the box.

so far, no force closes and/or random reboots and/or sleeps of death. sound quality is clear, signal strength is good, battery life seems normal, if not better. haven't tested camcorder yet...

only thing i am curious about is the memory management. i'm not a big fan of lots of free ram for the sake of lots of free ram. after all, ram is there to allow apps/processes to run so trying to maintain a certain minimum pool of free ram by aggressively cleaning up recent apps/processes might be detrimental to the experience. on the other hand, i understand that sense+home screen might unload in case the free ram pool drops too much. so i understand its a delicate balance to achieve.

can you share some of the details of the ram tweaks you've used? i feel that the task killing might be a bit too aggressive on this build and i'm wondering if i can tweak it a bit to favor background processes/activities even if i end up with a bit less free ram. i'm not even sure if your tweaks include modifications of the default task killing parameters, thats why i'm curious to know how i can experiment with the memory management tweaks. i'd appreciate some knowledge sharing for the community! ;)

will update my signature soon. thanks sundawg and team for a legendary build! and thanks button pressed! :laugh:
