hi guys, pardon me this might be a really stupid question.
i rooted my hero on the first day i bought it all the way to the sd card partitioning. i didn't get to use the adb method as it just wouldn't mount. so i used flashrec and ran the rooting and rom flashing via the recovery console.
so here comes the dumb question, did i actually do a wipe or did i do an overlap install over the existing rom?

second question. i use advance task killer. but as time passes by like a day or two the available memory just keeps getting lesser and lesser. i need to reboot the phone to increase the available memory - is this normal or something went wrong from the above process ?

Yes, you have to use the goldcard method. But once you have the goldcard part done, the rest is just the same like my guide smile.gif I didn't include the goldcard method to protect the user's files.
First of all, welcome to Android world smile.gif You did it excellently my friend. Flashing a ROM is NOT like installing something. It clears the previous ROM and writes the new one. So you don't have the previous ROM anymore. Tadaa~ smile.gif

Don't use advance task killer. Take my advice and use the best application. Search in market for "TasKiller" and use that. This is what you should do after that:

In the settings, allow autokill (check it). Then, in the list, allow all the applications that you use all the time (phone, home, messaging, clock, etc)
To allow them, long-tap on the application and add to ignore. Once you have done this, go to the home screen. Add the widget which is called "TasKiller". Note that it creates 3 types of widgets. Use the 1x1 widget. Now, on your screen, tap that widget and see what it does. It will even tell you how much memory you have left smile.gif Now you will not feel the low memory problem anymore.

well it's all thanks to your wonderful tutorial. thanks for the TasKiller - it's wonderful. i will look forward for more android stuffs from you biggrin.gif

i actually ran into that problem. i gave up on using adb shell and went straight to use flashrec and copied the files into the sdcard root folder. then it was a breeze from there.
