With Froyo I don't think you have to rely on Apps2SD. It supports moving applications to SD card. Tried swapping cards on a Zte blade, if works if you copy contents of your old card to new via PC.

It supports app2sd indeed , but then you have to move them each manually to sd ... But I enabled app2sd through samdroid tools ported for CM , it automatically installs any app on sd ...

Guys, in future please make backup of /efs folder from the recovery and save it somewhere safe. So if you get IMEI error, then just follow the tutorial on the link and use the contents in /efs folder to revive the IMEI.

Froyo App2sd is a joke. It just puts part of the file on SD. Its best to enable app2sd from Samdroid tools.

Why do you want to connect it to KIES? I have never used that software. Uninstall it and install this. It will install only the necessary drivers for your spica to be detected on your PC. Needed for flashing through Odin.

mp4 playback has issues on CyanogenMod. It used to play fine on samdroid eclair (2.1). Try yxplayer. Have not tried it myself as i dont play any vids on my mobile. But many are using this on CM 8.3

Convert your data, cache, to ext2. It will decrease boot time and time to open apps which are installed on phone memory like contact, msg, phone

Dont know any app which does that. Get a 500mb -1gb plan and keep it always on. I use EDGE for checking mails, occasional download from market, map, FB and twitter. It usually is around 300mb of data per month with EDGE always on.

Guys my phone is acting a lil weird, Lukiqq's kernel not working, Handcent SMS not working, Slow response et all.

So i've decided to re-install everything, Are there new versions of .tar .pda files for spica? I plan to do it from scratch from Odin. And is there anything better than CM 6.1.1 alpha 8.3?

And can you help me on backing up EVERYTHING and restoring it later, My apps, settings and other stuff?

Can someone please tell me how to get the fastest spica :(

I am still on v4 kernel. I find CM 8.3 + 3d driver + Luqikk v4 + all to ext2 quite stable and fast. v5 slowed down my phone and there were random reboots. v6 has quite a few issues.

You can make a backup of ODIN package or tar of data, system and efs to backup and restore your current settings in recovery. If you want to backup just the apps try titanium backup.

Battery life is great. I used to go on without charging for almost 3 days. I am currently on some experimental kernels. Performance has increased, but battery has taken a hit. Runs good for 1-1.5 days.

Lot of apps like pdanet to connect to pc and use internet.
