Guest Asselberghs Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Hi guys. I am asking on behaf of a friend, as I myself have been a bit "scared" off of constantly flashing my phone. My phone has become quite slow after several flashes. Anyway. He´s using MoDaCO MCR with either A2SD or A2SD+, can´t remember sorry. Now he´s curious about Cyanogenmod. Cyanogenmod is as far as I can tell based upon Android´s native A2SD with some enhancements. will he be able to just maintain his app partition and flash the rom? or can that not be done and he has to wipe the partition and start over? I know that the difference between A2SD and A2SD+ is Dalvik Cache moved to SD card. But I don´t know if A2SD,A2SD+,A2Ext and stuff like that are universal to all roms or something specificly done by the developer. Should he be able to do the move? or is that something that shoulden´t be done? moving A2SD partitions between roms of different developers? Kind Regards Asselberghs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest persko Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Normally, when you switch to a different Rom, it is a good idea, to clear everything before flashing the new Rom, meaning erase /system, /data, cache, and also the ext partition used for A2SD, you could backup the applications beforehand with titanium backup, and try restoring afterwards. If you do not clear everything, there is a big risk, that you run into a bootloop. Beware, that the Cyanogenmod Rom is a pure android Rom, that does not contain Sense. Do take a nandroid backup including the ext partition, before doing anything, then you can always go back to the current setup. Per Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
