CM7.2 issues/Recommendations for Daily Driver ROM

[acejavelin]

Well, due to unexpected turn of events, I am using an HTC Aria as my daily driver phone on Net10, S-OFF and currently running the last CM7.2 Nightly ROM with the included kernel (Max clock 768/Min 245, OnDemand and tried Interactive) and I have been getting daily reboots, not really bad but annoying. Any thoughts on cleaning up the reboots, is the Official Stable version better? I am running at 25 MB free consistently after moving everything to the SD card that can be moved, could this be part of the reboot problem?

Is there a better daily driver ROM, perhaps one with more internal storage free or one that uses the external SD as it's primary storage (acts as internal storage)? Thoughts on MIUI or something else? What is everyone who is still using the Aria using as their daily driver ROM?

I know this is very much a legacy device, but for the next few months at least I need to make this work fairly solid and I really don't like the stock ROM with all it's bloat

I'm not using my Aria anymore, but I gave mine to a friend, and it had the latest CM10 rom(not CM10.1) on it by WinSuk. So far it hasn't been giving him any problems. Maybe you should give CM7.2 Stable a shot before trying CM10 out though, since there are some bugs on CM10. Have you tried using Links2sd or moving the dalvik cache to the sd card for more storage space?

I have been using DroidSail's App2SD thinking it was the same thing, but I am learning it is very different. I will look into that, thanks. I was short on time yesterday so tried to dirty flash back to CM 7.2 Stable, but it was rather... umm... unsuccessful... Had to nandroid back, when I get some more time this weekend I will probably try again with a clean flash, maybe CM10, and perhaps MIUI as well. Thanks again!

EDIT: Interesting, last night around 7pm I changed the Max Clock speed to 787 MHz instead of 768, and dropped an app I didn't need freeing up 15MB of space (maintaining 41MB free on average), much smoother operation of the phone all around and no reboots in almost 24 hours. Note sure if the extra space helped or changing the clock speed, but seems to make a difference. I would assume that 787 uses a slightly different bus speed than 768 rather than a multiplier change so that alone could make a huge difference if I was at the edge of what the HW could take.

Edit 2: Nvm... it still reboots, back down to 600 MHz max for now.

I still use my aria as a media player, and keep it as a spare phone. CM9 and 10 were both nicely stable for me, but at this point you pretty much have to run an apps to ext partition solution due to the current size of apps and lack of internal space on the device. In any case, mine has always had random reboot issues if I overclock past 768, on any ROM.

I have CM10.1 on there now... but I can't get s2e to work with it (my old standby for apps to ext) and link 2sd seems to be misbehaving, or I don't know how to use it correctly. I'm going to go back to either cm10, or maybe a stock based froyo rom if I can track one down, just for the heck of it. What I want is attn1's liberated fr008.

Good luck.
