i didn't do this A2SD:
Open terminal emulator
Type su press enter
Then type a2sd reinstall

never have used figured i didn't need to i don't collect many programs? noticed it still puts any dloaded programs on sd which is good i guess. if u do the terminal a2sd thing what does it do exactly group them together?

A2sd needs an ext partition... It wont work if you dont have an ext partition and will probably boot loop your phone.

I guess the question is why bother setting up the2sd if the rom puts the dloaded programs on the sd anyway. Great rom by the way.tons of options. I can listen to my streams n use my bluetooth with screen off and it runs at 61. Used setcpu to see what mhz it was actually running at.

It doesn't unless you open the terminal and type the command

There is a difference between native android apps2sd and dark tremors apps2sd. Native apps2sd put a large portion of the app in a secure folder on your sdcard. Dark tremor's, utilizes an ext partition, essentially "fooling" the system into thinking your ext partition is actually your data/app. The whole app is installed directly to your ext partition. Dark tremor's method saves mass amounts of space, but can shorten the life of your sdcard. While native android a2sd saves space it's not nearly as much as dark tremor's...

    About the kernel... It is based off of htc's 2.6.35.10 kernel source. The clock tables, voltages and added governors are a combination of the 5 kernel developers I mention below. I also added v(r) i/o scheduler, thanks mdeejay from Team Virtuous.

    This has been a long time coming. :beer: First I have to thank my wife and kids for being so patient while I stared at a computer screen. Endless thanks to one_love_420 and Dread 7us for all their hard work, knowledge, and patience. Huge thanks goes to Dodgejcr, for taking the time to teach me almost everything I know about kernels, answering my noobish questions :), and writing up some awesome tutorials located at his website http://dodgejcr.com. Tommy Tomatoe has been such a great help to all of us, we can't thank you enough. I have some more thanks to give to a few other people, in no particular order toastcfh, scaryghoul, mdeejay, dodgejcr, x99 (kernel sources to compare, and help trouble shooting), aamikam (a2sd trouble shooting), strapped365 (panorama camera), and htc (base kernel source). Last but not least, the whole Shift community, a.k.a. the best community on xda. I hope you enjoy this ROM as much as we did making it. If I forgot to thank anyone, please let me know and I'll add you. :)

    Edit: Here is a link to custom skins for those that are interested... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1048894
