You have to restart the phone twice before using apps2sd ...Well first reboot to i think enable it...second reboot to transfer you pre-installed stuff to the SD card...and dont ever take ur card out...herd it causes applications which u hv installed on it to crash.

**Tips to Recover Space on you Phone** Observe Caution while executing any of the mentioned steps in the link. Assuming you guys r aware of basic Linux command, ADB tool & Sam Android Kitchen sink mod is already applied. =>Execute these steps at your own risk<==

Link -> Barebones - CyanogenMod Wiki
Salvage Tips:
1. Make sure you always copy the app that you remove to sd card preferably to '/system/sd' partition if you have applied Samandroid kitchen sink Mod. This partion is ext2 unlike the /sdcard partition which is FAT. DO this for anything that you remove or move from phone memory
2. If the app that you removed happen to cause some application to crash then you can restore it but with **SAME PERMISSION**. Usually permission command that you need to execute is 'chmod 644 /system/app/<app name>.apk` after copying to app directory from SDcard
3. Whenever u r executing 'rm' command on adb shell make sure u use it with '-i' option. For Ex:- rm -ir <file name>. This will prompt you before you delete anything & confirmation for those involuntary finger frequently messing things up
4. I was also able to copy the mail database over to sdcard but i wud not recommend it to anyone unless they r in dire need of phone memory
5. DO NOT REMOVE ANY APP THAT IS LINKED TO ANY SORT OF GOOGLE SERVICE UNLESS U R 100% SURE
6. ALWAYS ALWAYS backup you phone using Sam Andorid Back up utility from Recovery mode before you follow any instruction online. I would strongly recommend frequent Backup so that you can restore to any Data point
7. I also noticed that it is quite SAFE to FORMAT dalvik-cache from recovery mode. DO it only if in general most app performance is lagging
Hope this helps for those looking to free-up some phone memory. Snap shot of partition info

How do we send attachments in gmail. The gmail app is only giving a list of photos to be included as attachment. Gmail in browser shows the attachment button as disabled. I am on I570EDDJC5. Is this solved in samdroid mod?
but works flawlessly

Today I tried those experimental samdroid components and here are the benchmark results.
Benchmark apps I used are
Linkpack for Android
Quadrant Standard Edition
Benchmark
I'm just posting the results of Linpack and Quadrant here
On STANDARD DVM (Stock)
On DVM ARM11 OPTIMIZED
On JIT ARM11 OPTIMIZED
Meanwhile one of the results was surprising coz RAM in spica seems to be 160MB
Guys it would be helpful if you post your benchmark results on firmwares you are currently using. So that it would give us a better idea, which firmware is stable and fast, and which mods are better in terms of Speed etc.
Plz post your scores using the apps I mentioned above

Wohoo ! more speed for your Spica !!
Before Using Optimized Dalvik VM + JIT + new OpenGL drivers My Score Was Around 3.101

Sometimes i Really Miss My Motorola Rokr E6
Hi Guys...
This is some really good stuff, I'll be trying all of it once I get the elusive Spica. The availability is really irritating now...I have been looking for one in Bangalore for some time. I cant raid shops since I am pressed for time due to work..Anybody has any idea when the phone will be back in stock?
I tried tradeus too, but didnt find it there either...please help me get one
(five actually since my friends want it too 
)
One OT question; I plan to buy a bluetooth handsfree too with the phone...which one works best with spica? budget for the handsfree is about 1k
Thanks,
galois
