[Wildfire Android Development] flipmode_11:
Perhaps ONE post with details and explanations of EACH keyword, what they do, their advantages and disadvantages. Then a link to get more info from another site (DIY Help) etc, would be advantagous to members and getting answers to their issues??

I'm happy to start this off with common Questions and Answers.

Rather than repeating yourself again and again, you can simply paste the same link to these Q + A's! :D

Perhaps have one section for each ROM or ROM version!

Example Question:

- Why would I use certain files from the WildPuzzle ROM with my Cyanogen Mod 7 ROM? Aren't they different ROM's?

Please see all the example questions (that do indeed need clarifying).

Thank you to ALL who contribute and have contributed!

--------------------------------------------------

PARTITIONS + MOUNT POINTS + CACHES:

--------------------------------------------------

- What's this partition and mount thing?

* Partitons on your device can be accessed in a "logical" manner, similar to 'mount points' where a partition is 'mounted' or 'linked' to a directory. The partition is then accessed via a folder path.

QUESTIONS:

- In order to wipe and flush EVERYTHING on my device, should I wipe the partitions:

* /storage,

* /cache, and

* /??????

- How do we and where do we set the /cache location?

- What does the Dalvik cache do?

- Why would I want to move certain "caches" to external slower memory?

- It seems some people are complaining that applications can not appear (missing icons) after moving all apps to SD?! Is this only for certain ROM builds?

- Which APPS ***SHOULD NEVER*** be moved to the SD?

- Which version of APP2SD is best? And by whom?

--------------------------------------------------

GOOGLE APPS - SIMPLIFICATION:

--------------------------------------------------

- Where can we get the Latest Google Apps? - All links are dead!

# Pop on over to: http://goo-inside.me/gapps/. Make sure you read the chart at the bottom of the page! :)

QUESTIONS:

- I've got the Google Apps ZIP file, now what?

- Why would I use: "gapps-gb-20110120-signed.zip" (4.5 MB)?

- Why would I use: "gapps-mdpi-20110301-signed.zip" (16.4 MB)?

- What to do next? Pre install steps? Post install steps?

- Should I extract all archives inside? Which do I install and which order?

- Do I install via Recovery (browse and select ZIP) or via Android interface (e.g. A File explorer)?

- More detailed instructions and steps would REALLY be appreciated! :D :D :D :D
