just want to divide between user ... stock rom /custom rom.. if people dont need this thread. i will close it down. 

No, don't close it down as many are using cyanogenmod now. Yes it's good to separate stock and custom rom so there won't be confusion and
people will know where to get assistance correctly.

You have my support, Curioso. 

My question is out topic.. You're one of the most active member giving us guidance.. but why ur post count only 11 posts???   

I don't know also..... but it doesn't matter.... what matters is that we can share and help each other.

Go Launcher Ex - highly customizations. You can use your own new folders to categorize you drawer apps.

It's more or less the same without hotfix, but the volume control in stock radio is fixed.
Yup, Psyke's phone bricked already. He's send to repair.

Don't get your meaning..... do you want to upgrade to Froyo 2.2 or to CM 7.1 ? Please provide your current rom version so that we can offer you the proper guide to upgrade.

Hotfix 2 [18 September 2011]: Boot: removed custom lowmemorykiller tweaks; kernel: various updates (smartassV2, TinyRCU, Simple and V® IO schedulers), bugfixes and optimizations, changed default scheduler to Simple IO; libaudio: code cleanup and reduced overall FM volume; Framework: enabled hardware-accelerated 2D rendering.

Great noticeable improvements on :

1) Screen lock - formerly it was quite lag and now it's smooth.
2) Switching screens - improvement in speed while switching between home screens which is fast.
3) Battery usage - last longer.
4) FM radio volume reduced.
5) Apps loading faster with screen more responsive.

My opinion : Highly recommended to install this Hotfix2.             

1) It's advisable to backup with CWM first...just in case if anything goes wrong, you can always restore back.

2) If you're upgrading from v.1.2, you need to install all the three files - v.1.3 , hotfix2 and gapps in sequence.

3) If you're already with v.1.3, just install the hotfix2 only.

4) For all the above, data wipe is not necessary.

Yes, use that gapps. But for upgrade rom versions, ie. from v.1.2 to v.1.3, you need to flash all the three files in order - v.1.3 , hotfix (if there's any) and gapps.

For hotfix, you only have to just install the hotfix only and reboot.

Set CPU : Min 245MHz and Max 729Mhz.
Governor : Ondemand.
Disable : Dithering surface
VM heap size : 24m

Did you install s97ramscript?

Simple2Ext (S2E) Quick Guide:

Please make sure that you use ROM version v1.4 or later, as it includes a patch to prevent S2E's aggressive filesystem tweaks that cause corruption.•[Optional, but highly recommended]. To make absolutely sure that your /sd-ext partition is not corrupt, manually format the /sd-ext partition:

Code:
adb shell mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

or using Terminal Emulator :
#su
#mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

•Install S2E from Market.

•Open S2E, click the Menu key -> Settings. Enable "Mount as ext4" (mandatory). Do not select "Set read buffer", as the default value of 2MB will cause extreme lag on our phone. My port already sets the buffer to a more conservative value of 256KB, which I have found works best.

•Close the app and reboot.

•Open S2E again, select the folders you wish to place on the SD card. I recommend that you don't move the "Download cache" folder, as it makes more sense to leave it in internal storage (/data).

•Changes will take effect on the next reboot. Note: your dalvik cache will be rebuilt, so this reboot will be slower than usual.

NOTE : For those who are currently using Link2sd and want to use S2E, I would recommend :

1) Install the new version v.1.4 first (remember, for new rom versions, you need to install again - v.1.4 , hotfix (if any) and gapps.

2) After installing, using CWM, back it up. (Just in case S2E gives you problem or doesn't work).

3) Unistall Link2sd and follow the procedure/guide as above given by Psyke.

Enjoy!

EDIT : After installing the new rom version, the S97ramscript will have to be re-applied/inserted again.

oh back to the community, having tough days fixing phone corruption and else  . oh guide to flash? i can, but need confirmation.. to use s2e, you guys use ext2,3 or 4?

emm.. previous version its ok. but now it wont work if using ext4, at least on my phone. anyone else got positive result using ext4 with s2e? 

Not to worry. Everything is fine for you.

just to ask.. how do we root cm7? or do we not need to?

Another latest hotfix release : 

Hotfix 2 [5 October 2011]: Kernel: Bluetooth initialization fix; enabled compatibility with new basebands - you are now free to use any Froyo-based baseband with CyanogenMod.

If you are just using v.1.5 without hotfix, it's already enabled. You don't have to do anything else.

To use the dual touch, open a website or a picture from your sdcard ,

1) Touch the top-right of your screen.
2) Move your finger to the left side, downward left and then to downward right - anti-clock wise movement untill
you see the zoom. You can zoom-in and out just by moving your fingers anywhere on the screen. All these
movements using without releasing your finger.
3) To zoom back to original size, just tap the screen with your finger twice.

If you have installed the hotfix 1 or 2, you need to enable it (see previous post for enabling) as these 2 hotfixes does not have dual touch enabled by default as it gives the option to enable it or not.

For the contacts, you just have to go to the contacts and delete them.

For all CM roms, they are all already rooted by default.

All CM7 roms are rooted by default.

If u use GO CONTACT (Currently has updated to new version Go Contact Ex) You can use Merge.. It will merge all duplicate contact either base on name or by. no. or by email... but u need to merge one by one.. there's no "select all" option.. 
OR

If you have back up your contact using other application (I'm using NetQin Antivirus to backup my contact), u can use BATCH DELETE to delete all ur contact then RESTORE back using ur contact backup.. Using NetQin, it will OVERWRITE previous backup data with the latest one.. Not like stock contact backup where it will duplicate everytime you backup.. If we backup 5 times, there will be 5 duplicates when we restore back..
