I found the culprit for the phantom lock screen issue I reported a while back. Handcent is the issue, not the rom.

I have 258MB of app storage on internal memory. Thing is, that the apps are all actually on sd-ext (I've checked multiple times, and this is correct) and mounted to /data/app. Is it possible that the system is reporting /data/app usage as internal usage, even though it's on an external sd-ext? How would this be fixed? I've "hit" the memory cap, even though I'm using sd-ext.

You may need a larger SD-EXT partition. The system reporting it as internal storage is actually correct behavior. From how I understand it, the scripts "trick" the phone into thinking your internal data partition is in the same spot, when it's actually being redirected to the SD card.

Hmm. I guess I can understand that. But the reason I don't get it is because I have at least 500-600MB free on my sd-ext partition (just checked), but internal storage lists 40MB free left. Wiping dalvik cache does nothing, and it lists it all as app storage. That's why this is so peculiar to me. It doesn't make any sense. For all intents and purposes, I should not be running out of room, because there's plenty left, yet I'm being told I am. :/

Edit: I was wondering if it was possible the phone is reporting a total MB storage of what it has on internal, only reporting it on the sd-ext. So, for example, if you have a phone internal of 250MB, when you hit 250MB on sd-ext, it says you're full. Don't know if that's what's happening, but only thing I can guess at the moment. This hasn't happened to anyone else?

Note: Total internal phone storage lists itself at 450MB or so..

Does a SD partition make the system any faster?

depends on how much you put on it. Some say yes, some say no. I'm a huge yes though. I had a lot of space and performance issues straighten out after I added one

/data/app and /data/dalvik-cache is moved to the sd-ext but /data/data isn't and that still fills up with a bunch of libraries and app storage. I have about 90 apps installed and have 32mb free even though I have 923mb left on my sd-ext.

So there is still a limit.

We should move /data/data to sd-ext in the ROM then... I think that might solve our problems then. :) Because internal space still dwindles down quickly, though not quite as quickly as with apk's on internal, but still...

Would that possibly solve the insufficient space error on the play store? Because I have noticed it has no problem updating small apps, but big apps like Google Maps refuse to update.

Yeah I can do that .. Might make it an optional thing.
Ya, of course. I would expect it to be optional. Thanks. :)

Edit: I don't think /data/data is my culprit though. It's only 34MB. UNLESS that 34MB would cause the memory to go down that fast that is.. Maybe /data/app (130MB) + /data/data (34MB) + /data/dalvik-cache (116MB) cause everything to really add up.

Edit 2: I installed a app called diskusage. This shows me what's going on here. /data/data lists 129MB with a free space of 43MB left.... That's exactly what my internal storage lists as left. So ya, that does seem to be the culprit after all. Ignore the above edit then. Moving /data/data to sd-ext will really solve a lot of 'out of space' issues for me and others. Thanks! :)

I've noticed that the fact that the phone doesn't fully enter deep sleep mode causes my phone to run about twenty degrees higher than normal. On stock and 2.3 i ran at about 65, with quattrimus i run at 79-85. With bobz since the deep sleep fix it runs at about 70. Has anybody else noticed this?

Afterburner could be modified to display the circle style battery indicator, I'll talk to Anthony about it. I'm working on two roms right now plus I got married today, otherwise I'd offer to do it myself.
