Reporting in !

Besides flashing to cyanogenmod, there's no way to install apps on the sd card ? Is that right ?

and is it okay to charge the phone whenever i am not using it ? will it damage the battery in anyway ?

despite milestone being a 1 year old phone, i am pretty satisfied with it. Android is constantly (maybe not that constant) updated, with the number of apps growing every day. Every day, i can find new stuff to tweak and play with.

The Symbian interface simple cannot match iOS and Android, it feels so dated, so last decade

anyone here mind pointing us to the links where you guys followed to flash to CM6 ? I know how to google, just that to follow the exact steps that you guys followed to make it work would be much better, in my opinion.

Really appreciate the help.

I've just updated to the 22.12.10 build. Currently testing, no issues so far on camera and video works fine. I haven't had any force close apps yet so far - mostly i think those are due to buggy apps and not the OS.

Its also very advisable to make sure that you clear out all caches and do a factory reset first in Open recovery before installing a custom ROM. Then install all apps fresh again and you should be fine.

i would love it if you can update us with a guide. the old guides are somewhat outdated, and files are missing from servers. thanks, looking forward to it

after flashing to CM6, i find that returning to the homescreen after opening any apps/games can be pretty laggy. overclocked @ 800mhz though. Is it possible to uninstall the adwlauncher ? lanucherpro seems to be more stable for me
