I don't understand why you wrote to "decrease system partition to 242mb". It seems like it should be reduced to something like 130mb. Am I misunderstanding you?

Update: I went with a 140mb system, 10mb cache setup. I believe the numbers ending up being "1120 80 2521". That gives me this:
Code:
$ df -h
Filesystem                Size      Used Available Use% Mounted on
tmpfs                   145.5M     32.0K    145.5M   0% /dev
tmpfs                   145.5M         0    145.5M   0% /mnt/asec
tmpfs                   145.5M         0    145.5M   0% /mnt/obb
tmpfs                     8.0M         0      8.0M   0% /app-cache

/dev/block/mtdblock5    315.1M    141.4M    173.7M  45% /cache/download
/dev/block/vold/179:1
                          7.0G      2.4G      4.6G  34% /mnt/sdcard
df: /mnt/secure/asec: Permission denied
/dev/block/dm-0           6.1M      4.1M      2.0M  68% /mnt/asec/net.flixster.android-1
I didn't need to reflash CM7, everything has just magically continued to work after the partitions were resized.

Have you noticed any performance lag with the smaller cache? I know I did when it was less than 35 mb.

I haven't used it much yet but it's only showing 1.1mb used. What apps gave you problems?

There's so much free space now that it wouldn't kill me to bump it back up if I had to.

It was in the reboot process - the home screen took quite a bit longer to display my widgets and such.
Now it's fine using your settings. 315 MB free. Wow! Before this, it was 185 MB.

Now that you mention it, yes, I did notice that it took longer for the widgets to display after rebooting. That's caused by the cache being too low?

I just rebooted again to test. It took about 40 secs to get to the lock screen and another 45 secs for the phone to login to Google's servers (turning the wifi meter blue). At that point I unlocked the phone and my widgets were loaded. On the whole, that seems equivalent to how it was before. Unless there is another problem, I'm satisfied with it now.

But because I was so low on space in the past, I quit installing non-essential apps like Facebook and Google+. Maybe once I start reinstalling these the lower cache will start to cause problems.

EDIT: I've reinstalled a bunch of apps and run them. Everything I'm running seems to cache data to the SD card. My /cache partition still shows 1.1mb used.

I think its because new partition layout and not reinstalled rom cause that! Try to backup all your data and restore backup after hboot upgrade!

well, since Desire C is ARMv7 someone will have to recompile all the lib to ARMv6 and it is very very hard.

OK. I'm stuck (again).
I tried to reload the stock HTC ROM, and now I'm stuck at the HTC black screen with four warning signs in each corner.

I tried the HTC bootloader unlock, but it didn't work.

Oddly, I can get to recovery by using Android Flasher. but the phone won't boot or get back to the bootloader or recovery menus on its own.

Any ideas?

Update:
Now I see (when I unplug the device) that it's S-On again (after trying to update it with HTC software.
Now I think I'm screwed...

Thanks!
