Moving from CM7 to SSRLS5

[Guest cjp666]

I have installed CM7 using the TPT method and my phone is now Gen2; what would I need to do to install SSRLS5. Can I just install using ROM Manager leaving the partition sizes as they are?

Thanks in advance

Chris.

I seem to be posting this a lot :unsure:

Read from post # 88 and onwards for the last three pages. You will then be more aware of the potential consequences of moving to a 2.2 ROM if you have a small cache size...

http://android.modaco.com/content-page/338...2-only/page/80/

you will then also be informed on how to change that to something more suitable.

You will note that I changed to...

20mb cache

140mb system

280mb data

if I was doing it again I would now change to...

40mb cache

150mb system

250mb data

Sorry if it has been asked a number of times. I had trouble finding an answer but thanks for the link. I'll have a good read when I get home and try and decide what to do.

Swedish Spring RLS5 handles a 2mb cache partition perfectly fine, so for that ROM specifically, you don't have to change anything compared to the CM7 layout.

I'm having the same situation also, but I have problems installing SS5.

I have a Finnish Blade Gen1 -> TPT CM7 Gen2.

I flashed SS5 with clockwork 3.0.1.x which I had at first, and the phone BRICKED in the Android logo. I tried with clockwork 3.0.2.7 too, but no luck.

Luckily I had the CM7 tpt image on my sd card, so I could revive it.

Have to study more what's the problem. But what i was coming to say in this thread, keep an TPT image ready! :unsure:

EDIT: Yes, I did wipe.

EDIT2: IT BOOTED! Earlier I installed it using the Rom Manager CM7 had, which did not work. I installed SS5 straight thru clockwork, and AFTER install i wiped cache and data.

I did Gen1 to Gen2 TPT

Then flashed SS RLS5 with ClockworkMod Recovery and all was ok :unsure: So now i have 2mb cache, 138 mb system, 315mb data with SS RLS5.

Thanks to everyone who replied

I will have a think about if I want to move away from CM7

I love CM7 but there are a few issues that concern me and maybe SSRLS5 might be another option

I have exactly the same thoughts. CM7 is very fast, but the battery life is horrible, about 12-18 hours before the need to recharge.
