I've been on CM7 by almost a week now, and I can tell you it's amazing. Very smart rom, lots of customizations possible, gingerbread based...
The only side effect is that it's still on beta stage. This means that has a list of medium and small bugs that could upset the phone user. It depends on what kind of user you are. If you like to try new features and don't mind encountering some little issues, then I recommend you to give it a shot
For any reference, question, problem, read the CM7 thread in the development branch.
hey thanx then i will try today xda rocks...!!!!!!!
CM 7 is awesome!!! But still there are some bugs in beta 1.1 like after a call, sometimes the screen turns black and returns to usable state after a minute or so. There are some bugs in DSP manager and hardware decoding of videos don't work. But remember it is still beta, so no complaints

can anyone help me ?
sorry for my bad english
@xzet2
I too had the same problem. Here's what I did :
(First wipe all cache, dalvik, android.secure (?) , factory...etc.)
1) Reboot in recovery
2) Flash the format.zip ( or better yet, the Debug-FormatSYSTEM.zip )
3) Flash cm7 beta2
4) Reboot into CM7 beta2
5) Reboot into recovery
6) Flash gapps
7) Reboot into CM7 beta7
Hopefully, it'll work.
Can any of the CM7 users tell me what all is different in it as compared to normal 2.2/2.2.1 ROMs?
Awsome 2.3 for Optimus One
Hello to all,
Great build of Gingerbread for P500H.
Just installed last night and seems to be great.
For tethering, download Android Wifi Tether from Market.
So far no black screen issues.
Gps getting a faster lock then with original rom.
However, bluetooth still seems not to work properly.
Thanks a bunch
My device, Opti one from Telus unlocked and using Bell

Hi, I have question about CM7. When I want upgrade from .void and save some kind of image of my system, can I do it without consequences? I mean make nand backup, flash CM7 and when wont like it I could return back to void and use it as before using restore nand backup am I right?

Hi, yes, it is possible, I have the same option of going back, I also used .void, and wanted to try CM7, but I was very impressed by .void ROM, and I have just finish all customizations, so I didn't want to loose it all. Here's what you need to do:
Start phone in recovery, and try to make nand backup (nand + ext + .android_secure) but what happened to me, it wrote an error and that I have to make it via adb shell. You will find how to install adb here:
addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/
(Sorry, I'm still quite new to forum, so I can't post it as link)
When you have adb, run cmd and type (Phone must be connected and in recovery mod, and have to have mounted /system - but I'm not sure about mounting ):
"adb devices" - you should see your devices with serial number.
"adb shell"
"nandroid-mobile.sh -b" - this will start backup to your SD card into "nandroid" folder
When you have your backup done, you can start flashing CM7. I wiped data+cache, then flashed "Debug-FormatSYSTEM.zip" from CM7 thread, flashed CM7 itself, restart your phone and you should be running CyanogenMod
note: if you want to flash Google apps (I assume you would), you have to boot CM7 at least once, because if you flash it immediately after flashing ROM itself, you will see .void booting screen and phone will freeze, and you will have to flash it all again.
And finally, if you'll prefer going back to .void, just restore your backup in recovery mod, and you're back I have two backups, one of .void, one of CM7, and can switch theese ROMs (by restoring backups) in up to five minutes
Hope it helps
Man its awesome. Real speedy. Installed yesterday. I even installed Darktremor a2sd. It is also working cool. Moved cache and data all to my SD.
Cm7 though, does not have titanium backup pre-installed. Rename ur titanium backup folder before u install. I lost mine. Got over written.
Will be testing during week end.
Here is what i did.
Downloaded the 3 files from the first post.
1. Backed up my apps using Titanium.
2. Backed up contacts.
3. Booted into recovery.
4. Connected into PC.(Linux in my case.)
5. Formatted the ext partition to ext4.
6. Deleted the Android folder in the fat partition.
7. Wiped cache, Dalvik Cache, and android_secure from recovery.
8. Copied the 3 files into the fat partition.
9. Copied the Darktremor A2sd zip (Do a google search for "Darktremor a2sd zip" without quotes)
10. Flashed the Debug-FormatSYSTEM.zip and the ROM.
11. Then rebooted.
12. Again Booted into Recovery.
13. Flashed the Darktremor A2sd zip.
14. Reboot and start terminal app.
15. su (to get root access)
16. a2sd cachesd (phone will reboot)
17. a2sd datasd (phone will reboot)
Thats it folks.

Update:
No Black screen after making/receiving phone call.

Yes, it's great, but there are some small problems with black screen after calls for me, slow GPS and the most important is battery drain. But its still beta and its amazing on the other side. I am looking forward to next steps beta 3 or rc.
I'm testing it too, It's relly great and fast.. but i've found some bugs, hope that devs see this thread as well(I don't have permitions to post on the official thread):
- Black screen after call;
- Do not save the keyboard selection over reboots(I have to activate a select every boot)
- Can't connect to eduroam, don't know why tho..
EDIT: GPS icon is not showing on status-bar.
I relly apreciate the job done!

DUMMIES, FOLLOW THIS STEPS TO INSTAL MIK_OS GINGERBREAD CYANOGENMOD 7 PORT:
FIRST OF ALL GO HERE AND READ MIK's POST and thank Mik for his work!!!!!!!!!!!!
READ THE CHANGELOGS AND THE KNOWN BUGS!!!!!
Let's suppose you have Froyo on your device and want to go Gingerbread:
- you need: root, custom recovery, and rom zip from here
- boot into recovery, go to backup/restore and do a backup. For your own privet safety, you could use TitaniumBackup before booting into recovery to backup your files and settings.
- while in custom recovery, go to wipe and perform all wipes. WIPE DATA AND CACHE IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM FROYO! Go to adb shell and make a /system wipe (mount /system in recovery; adb shell rm -rf /system/*), or copy this file on sd, and flash it via cusom recovery to automatically wipe your /system data
- after the wipe, put your rom on the sd card - get the beta2 here , and flash it from custom recovery.
- wait until it boots up and set the phone up. If you're stuck on LG logo it means you didn't performe the wipes corectly, mainly the system wipe.
- you will have no google apps after the install, so go here and get them, or manually download them from market
- you now have Mik_os unofficial CyanogenMod 7 2.3.3 on you phone. Install TitaniumBackup and perform a restore if you used this metod to backup your data as i described in the second step.
Now, if you have an older version of Mik's CM7:
-boot into recovery and flash the newer version just like that. It will update the one you have on your device, and no data will be lost.
GO AGAIN TO THE OFFICIAL DEV THREAD AND RE-READ THE BUGS AND CHANGELOGS. AND AGAIN... THANK MIK FOR HIS WORK!!!!!
If you have questions about Mik's port, go to the correct thread and ask them! This is not a developer thread, it is just for info, or for those of you who are new to xda and cannot post in dev threads.
AND AGAIN, THANK MIK FOR HIS WORK, AND BUY HIM A LOLLYPOP VIA PAYPAL.
I have tried your steps but could not install this ROM. It got stuck on the boot animation. An it wasn't CM7 animation. Tried few times but without any luck. Now i am back to my old rom. atleast i did not brick my phone but i will sure give it a another try
You are probabily stuck at the lg logo. You should try to wipe the system manually, by adb or flashing the zip I linked in the original post, in the third step. I had the same problem, but this solves it.

I wasn't stuck on LG Logo. I had Megatron installed, it went through LG logo, then got stuck Megatron's Android Logo. Seems the rom was never installed properly and i have tried few times.
I have wiped everything, i have flashed from the zip you provided, and also i re-partitioned the sd card but it never worked
Did you got any errors when flashing cyanogen zip? From what you said, I think you shoul rewipe everything, part the sd 0 swap, ext 2 to ext3 and ext3 to ext 4. Make sure that you have the check for signed option in custom recovery.

How did you do the system wipe? You flashed the zip for wipeing or did you do it from adb shell?
I have another friend that flashed the /system wipe tool, and forgot to flash the actuall rom zip file, and had the exact simptomes as you described.

I used custom recovery, nandroid back up, then re-partition the sd card. then wiped the card, then usb toggle to copy 2 zips on to sd card. flashed debug system just in case and then flashed mik's rom. I don't know where did it go wrong.
Would have been great if someone made a step by step video and put that on youtube

Yes, I think so. Don't worry about it for the moment. if it worked for you, it will work for me too. I may have missed something that i can't remember. I will give it a try again this weekend
Although if you could give me the Partition requirements. I know the swap should be zero. But how much should i use for ext2?
Ext partiton can be how big you want, it's where a2sd puts the files and other cache info. I use 512 mb, and works flawless.
I will make a video guide in the morning, and link it in the original post.

The link i posted goes to another thread that explains some basic stuff. Including the recovery. But i didn't find any problems using different versions of custom recovery. So go for which one you like more, as long as it can backup your system
1. go in recovery mode
2. wipe everything
3. then go to others
4. mount/system
5. flash the system zip
6. flash the rom zip
7. reboot
it worked for me. hope it helps
Ruwin buddy, you will be happy to know that i am using Mik's rom. I still don't know what went wrong last time. If some thing that i had done differently, that would not upgrading ext3 to ext4.
Thanks buddy for the support and the tips

Thanks for the advice but I figured it out before you posted this thanks for the advice anyway everything is going well and now I have to go apologize to nick for the constant help spam
Sent from my T959 using XDA App
Hi, I've signed up for an account quite a while ago since I was on HTC Tattoo, but this is my first post because I've gotten really desperate here but I couldn't figure out what has been wrong.
I've done searching around xda-developers and tried Googling. I have an Xperia mini pro SK17i and here's my problem:
What I've done:
1. I've unlocked its bootloader.
2. Flashed Rage Kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398910).
3. Using CWM included after flashing Rage Kernel, I flashed Hybrom V6 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1373435).
4. Before this I partitioned my SanDisk Mobile Ultra 32GB Class 6 microSDHC for sd-ext (27.7GB of FAT32 and 4.06GB of ext2).
5. Installed Titanium Backup.
6. Yay, from Titanium Backup I could see that a2sd is enabled.
Then came the problem:
7. I POWERED OFF my device.
8. Pulled its battery out.
9. Put it back in.
10. Turned the phone back on. When it's at the homescreen, Titanium Backup is gone.
11. So, I installed Titanium Backup again. But this time, I can't see a2sd's remaining free space, means it's not enabled?
12. So, I went ahead and rebooted into recovery, reflashed the rom again, and it all goes back to step 1.
While I was doing those, I tried checking whether a2sd was enabled each time, and it seemed that it was random. Sometimes enabled, then after a reboot, it got disabled, then I reflashed again and so on.
I'm really frustrated now. Any help is really appreciated!!
Try installing Hybrom v7 now
And when ever you flash your rom everything which is inside your SD card and was associated with system files will be of no use as you have to reassign it to system after you flash your rom
To solve this,when you think you have fully working system and now you want to keep it as backup to avoid reconfiguration when you reflash your ROM then make a backup of current working ROM for this
Reboot in recovery mode of CWM
Go in backup and restore
Make a backup of your ROM and you are done !
(This backup can be found on SDCARD/clockworkmod folder)
When you want to reinastall the "Same ROM" then you can use that created backup to get back to the status where you made backup.So there is no need to reinstall software and no need to make settings again.
This backup creates MD5 check sum so it can't be used for any versions of ROM.Use it with same version of ROM.And you will get ex-sd back as you mod in before back up.
I hope you got what i said ... cause when ever you completely flash the ROM and start it freshly you will have to go to step 1 as you said and do all things again so backup is good way to avoid this frustration and problem
And because of that sd-ext will not work...
Thx for the advice.
But I still can't get a2sd to work.
I connected my device to my computer, then I via adb shell I typed
a2sd check
everything seems to be okay except that sd-ext is not mounted. :'(
What should I do to get it to work?
I managed to get a2sd working consistently.
What I did was to partition my sdcard and format it separately.
Whenever I did a wipe data/system/cache CWM would wipe and format the sd-ext partition too, because of this, upon flashing a new ROM, a2sd would not be enabled.
But now I have another problem, I would love to move dalvik-cache to sd-ext, I tried doing it with:
#a2sd cachesdreset
then it reboots my device, but it ended up in a bootloop.
What should I do next?
I found out another issue. Everytime I pulled the battery out, my Xperia mini pro would fail to mount sd-ext.
THEN I would have to first do:
# a2sd repair
then the device reboots, then:
# a2sd reinstall
then it would get a2sd back again. But this time, all of the settings for the apps on sd-ext are lost.

This thread is for noobs by noobs , a place to talk about the app so that we don't clutter the ROM threads .
I hope this works out and helps anyone including myself with using this app.
Here is another GUIDE by JJsax posted on The Root Of All EVO that is a lot more detailed then this one.
The Official forum for BootManager is Init2winit if you would like to learn even more about the app.
As I learn about this app ,as to how and what works with it I'll update this and maybe it will help everyone out that is trying to use BootManager.
This app also works with EVO 3D's with hboot 1.50 s-on
Thank XDA member mnomaanw for that information.
If you use this app and have the time to reply to this post , please share what ROMs you've got to work and a little info on how you installed it. This way I can add it to the op to make it easier and faster for everyone to find.
This is what I've learned so far.
How to install* ROMs via Boot Manager...
Thank seraph863 for filling me in and writing this up. I just changed a few details cause his was for a specific ROM.
MAKE SURE THE ROM IS ON THE ROOT OF YOUR SD CARD NOT IN ANY FOLDERS
1.)* PURCHASE Boot Manager. It does a License check upon boot, so your jacked version will just give you a headache. Seriously, I tried it. Doesn't work.
Here is a Market link to Boot Manager if you didn't already purchase it.
1.a) IF you didn't purchase it... WIPE ALL Boot Manager data and files, including the folder on your SD Card. Then buy it and let it setup again.
2.) Open SuperUser. Hit Menu -> Settings -> Disable Logging.
3. Open BootManager. If you're at work and on Wi-Fi, you may not pass the License check due to firewall issues. If you get a black screen, or license failures, switch to 3/4G and try again.
4.) If all is good, you're asked to Setup the Phone. Do so now. [ You will need to set up your Phone ROM any time you flash a new ROM or kernel to your phone ROM.]
5.) Once installed, hit Menu -> Settings -> Force Large Boot.img
6.) Swipe right to Slot 1. Hit Install .zip and browse to your downloaded ROM.zip file. Make sure to check the Wipe System, Data, and Cache boxes so that it will wipe before it flashes the ROM. Select EXT4 as the file structure.
[This is the important part. This build will take a LONG time. Do NOT use your phone while it is running.]
8.) Once the install has been successful if you need to flash a kernel , theme gapps etc..., go back to Slot 1 and select Install .zip (again). Choose the .zip file. Do NOT wipe system, data or cache. It will ask you to over write it just hit OK.
9.) You should now be ready to boot to your new ROM! Celebrate!
Since this is for the EVO 3D I recommend to always use ext4 as your file structure.
If you get any error messages start over.
Known working ROMs to my knowledge.
These are ROMs that I've set up.
Infected Eternity Phone ROM and sd ROM
KMyers CM7 beta 7.4* with gapps ext4 sd ROM

ROM2:MIUI v2.1.6
I've found it to work better to flash and set up my ROM on the phone ROM and then back it up and restore it to a slot.
If your having problems restoring backups and your using TWRP recovery try using CWM. I was having issues with TWRP and since I went back to CWM (touch and 5.0.2.0 both work great but there is no usb mount on the touch version) and I haven't had a single issue restoring a backup to a ROM slot.
My setup will be changing all the time.

I set the boot.img to large or what ever the setting is cause thats what they said to do in the video on the site for the app. My real issue though is that restoring my backup to a slot it installs to my system memory. I would like to be able to install backups cause I've read they run better. Hopefully some that knows more about this will come in here and school us a little, I'll even add it to the op and make this a guide if we get enough info.
Here's my quick and dirty instructable I posted in the CM9 thread.
How to install this via Boot Manager...
1.) PURCHASE Boot Manager. It does a License check upon boot, so your cracked version will just give you a headache. Seriously, I tried it. Doesn't work.
1.a) IF you didn't purchase it... delete ALL Boot Manager files, including the folder on your SD Card. Then buy it and let it setup again.
2.) Open SuperUser. Hit Menu -> Settings -> Disable Logging
3. Open BM. If you're at work and on Wi-Fi, you may not pass the License check due to firewall issues. If you get a black screen, or license failures, uninstall BM and delete the folder. Switch to 3/4G and try again.
4.) If all is good, you're asked to Setup the Phone. Do so now.
5.) Once installed, hit Menu -> Settings -> Force Large Boot.img
6.) Swipe right to Slot 1. Hit Install .zip and browse to your downloaded CM9 .zip file. Wipe System, Data, and Cache. Select EXT4 as the file structure
7.) This is the important part. This build will take a LONG time. Do NOT use your phone while it is running.
8.) Once the install has been successful, go back to Slot 1 and select Install .zip (again). Choose the Google Apps .zip file. Do NOT wipe system, data or cache.
9.) You should now be ready to boot to your new ROM! Celebrate!
Warning: Several users report to NOT use any Backup app such as Titanium to restore your apps and data, since the apps on this ROM are very very different. Your mileage may vary.
FYI I'm doing this by memory, so the minor steps might not be accurate (i.e. disable Superuser logging).
If you get any error messages, start over. I assure you, this process worked for me step by step.
Go to their official forum
Applications-->boot manager
You will find my thread named [REF]working and not working rom list
There are many phones
And if you test a rom that is not listed please report if it is working or not

I saw your guide in the cm9 thread and tried it with no luck I did exactly what you said and everything seemed to go fine but when I hit boot to ROM on slot one where I installed the ROM I'm stuck on the splash screen. Any ideas why? Thanks for the help also.

I was on there I even posted my issue and my log but haven't gotten any help. I did see your list of ROMs but didn't know if its up to date.
I'll have another look at it cause I really want to get this to work and its driving me crazy cause I can usually figure problems out on my own or by searching but I just can't get this.
Thanks for the replies.

Which ROM are you using?
I would start over. Use a file manager to delete your ROM from the SD Card and take another image. Make sure you have plenty of storage on your SD card. You could also try clearing the Cache and Dalvik.
You can always get back to your phone ROM manually by booting to Recovery and flashing sdcard\bootmanager\phonerom\update.zip
Edit: Don't forget to check "Use Large boot.img" within Boot Manager

Should I just delete the whole bootmanager folder and clear the data for the app also?
another thing is why when I restore a backup to a slot its installing to my internal memory?
Yeah I just had another look at your list and there aren't many ROMs for this phone on there and they look old.
Thanks again for the help.
It up to date
Anyway gflame is busy
What do you do to install the rom
And wich rom?

I wiped everything out and starting over. I'm going to just try and install viperom in one slot and see if that boots, then I'm going to try and restore a backup to another slot from within a ROM slot to see if that will fix my internal memory issue cause it wont have anywhere to install to . I'll post back with what happens.

I disabled logging in su checked off larg boot.img then whet to slot one hit install zip choose cm9 ext4 then checked all the wipe opinions, when that finished I flashed the gapps the same way but without wiping . Everything finished with that I didn't get any errors but when I went to boot to that slot it just hung at the splash screen.
I did that 2 times with cm9 , 1 time with the Eternity ROM sense 3.0 r130 , 1 time with Team Nocturnal's Blackened ROM and they all got stuck at the splash screen.
I did get MeanROM to work using those same steps last night.
Now with the restore of my backup I did basically the same thing but it doesn't give any wipe options when you install it but it would get an error saying boot.img something like that and then I would get a low memory popup saying I only had about 30mb left internal memory when I had over 800mb when I started.
Edit: I have about 6gb free on a 16gb class 10 sd card. I believe its a Samsung card I think.
Edit2: I finished flashing viperom and now that to is stuck on the splash screen. Is there a way to wipe caches for that slot and fix permissions like you would for a regular ROM in recovery if something like this happened.
I'm really starting to think I wasted $3 this is very frustrating sorry.
Thanks for your replies and trying to help.
I went into recovery to go to flash the update zip to restore my phone ROM but when I open the bootmanager folder I don't see anything in it. I'm using twrp 2.0 recovery. Could this have something to do with my problems?

The steps in your previous post were all correct, except you said you turned OFF "Use large boot.img" ? Make sure that option is ENABLED (has an X on it)
I'm confused as to why the app is trying to install to your internal memory... Mine installs to my SD Card. Make sure the USB cable is not plugged into the phone, and try increasing your screen timeout so it doesn't sleep during the install.
The fact that you're getting the splash screen means you're getting somewhere. Maybe you're being too impatient on the install? Wait a few minutes even after it says Install Complete before continuing.

I said I checked the larger boot.img off meaning it was enabled sorry for that misunderstanding. I flashed 2 of the slots last night and didn't even test them till today so I don't think that its cause I'm not waiting long enough. Why would none of the folders inside of the bootmanager folder show up in twrp recovery? Could I copy and paste the phone update.zip to the root of my sd card so that I can recover without having to nand restore cause I've already wiped and restored about 10 times trying to get this to work.

My phone:
Phone ROM: SteelROM 2.72
Slot 1: AOSP ICS - wifi doesn't work
Slot 2: CM9 - (google talk and books FC)
Slot 3: MIUI
Slot 4: CM7 (kmeyers)
Boot Manager has a problem trying to restore from a NAND backup, it did the same thing to me where it was installing to the phone's internal memory. I was trying to figure out the problem, but I moved on without success.
I've had the best time installing tricking ROM's by this method. I installed CM7 to a slot, booted into CM7 and installed the ICS and CM9 from there. It's been pretty successful.
If you are getting it to freeze with mounting images, I came across this issue because my SD card did not have enough room. You can try to free up some more space to see if this is the same issue.
I had most problems installing due to not enough space on my SD card, I now have a 32gb card, and have had no issues
Also, I've never had to set it to large boot.img to get things to work, and make sure you disable logging in SU, and use EXT4

To quickly get back to your phone ROM (make sure you setup your phoneRom in boot manager first to create the update.zip file, you need to recreate this anytime you change the ROM or Kernel for your phoneROM)
Boot into Recovery
Install the update.zip inside the \boot manager\phonerom\update.zip (not sure if location is accurate, but you get the idea)
Reboot system
Phone should boot to phone ROM, or you can install any other update.zip from your slots, to boot to them etc

What cm7 ROM would you recommend ? For some reason I couldn't see files inside of the BootManager folder but I checked and they are there. I have about 5gb free on a 16gb card ,I was looking into getting a 32gb if I get this app working.

cm7 worked thanks.
So I just realized that A2SD really corrupts your phone. Why?
Because every rom I use with A2SD ends up having the same problem over and over again, no matter what rom I'm using. And as a matter of fact, it's happening to me right now AGAIN after 3 weeks of recovering from a major one. Last one was worse because I couldn't wipe dalvik cache or flash any roms from CWM and had to completely reflash a 5 package with Odin.
Your phone will start turning off randomly. I myself just found my phone off WHILE CHARGING again. The common factor between all the roms I've been using is A2SD. No matter what script or mod I use. The fist time it happened to me was using Jusada's ICS final and now I'm all the way on The Myth 2.
I will still be using A2SD since I really need the extra space. My C++ compiler by itself is 60MB.
Just wanted to let you guys know, if it happened to you, you're gonna have to reflash a new rom all over again. If you can't wipe something from CWM before installing a rom, Odin is your fix.
Just want to make this clear, does your phone turn off completely or does it reboot?

I've been using the INT2EXT4+ script for a few months(?) and I havent got in touch with this issue. You could try to go stock for a week (with your essential apps installed + another sdcard) and see if this occurs to confirm it, such a hassle though...
To me this doesn't really sound convincing if I were to be honest, mostly because it hasnt struck me (yet).

I don't know. It keeps happening to me constantly. I just finished reflashing Myth 2 again. The script I was using before was INT2EXT+. Going to do the same thing all over again. I'm not sure if its the SD because this happened way back in the Jusada days and back then I had just recently bought my phone + SD.
Even while using S2E on CM7 and while I was using DT's A2SD when I first started using Myth 2. Not really sure how it's possible. This is my only theory.
Yep I also have issues with different A2SDs.
S2E
After a reboot my sd-ext is not mounted. Had to use Advance restore in CWM (sd-ext only)
Darktremor's A2SD
Random bootloop after a reboot. Had to completely restore CWM backup
INT2EXT/4
After a reboot, sd-card is only mounted as R/O. Had to use Advance restore in CWM (sd-ext only)
So every once in a while I always do nandroid back-ups. That's the only solution I know. But now I deleted scripts in my init.d specifically Adrenaline Engine because I noticed some of them has remount scripts at boot. I only left the default ones and the a2sd script. After a few reboots no problems so far. Hoping this will continue for a long time. :fingers-crossed:
I don't think that the matter is to be taken as drastically as in OP.
Using an a2sd script obviously puts your phone in the condition to be less stable than before, but some little steps will help you facing it.
1) If dalvik is moved to sd-ext by the script DON'T WIPE IT. It will result in phone not booting. If you are using INT2EXT script there is a flashable zip which wipes it in a secure way (just have a look at the Cronmod topic in this forum).
2) If the SD doesn't mount properly try taking it away and cleaning it (I think blowing at the SD and at the socket will do). It happened to me that the phone wasn't booting, no matter how many times I restarted it. After cleaning SD it was all right... and the same happened to a friend of mine.
3) Do frequent backups (at least once a week). You never know.
Hope I was helpful.

I can safely assume that I was using a2sd far longer than you and for the 3-5 months I stuck with Apocalypse S2E and A2SD works perfectly with no problems .

i've been using dt a2sd since the first time i use custom rom, it's a long time ago, no problem so far..
can honestly the problem isnt with the script i had this issue tons of times aswell with multiple roms.
something on your sd ext is corrupt format your sd card with mini partition tool and recreate an ext 4 using that aswell will sort the issue out
n btw i was getting bootloops and andriod force close alot before i formated
now using Amarullz tho its alot more stable

1. I never wipe dalvik unless I'm flashing a new rom.
2. I've never had that problem.
3. Yeah, I told myself I was going to do that but I kept forgetting. Either way, if you do a backup, won't you save the to-be-corrupted files anyway?

So you're saying the problem is the ext partition that CWM creates? Ext 4 is better? But a lot of people make partitions off CWM and theirs still work fine. :/

Hmm.. about to make a backup right now then. I was thinking of backing up a clean version of Myth 2 but I remembered to when I was already restoring my apps. I guess there's still time.

What's your sdcard ? And class ?
Sent from Ursa's claws.
I already used S2E, DT A2D, Link2SD and never had any problem like this.
But I'm facing a different but at the same time similar problem. By "similar" I mean that the problem also persists even flashing the ROM again, or flashing other ROMs (CM based ones).
WelI, I was testing CM 7.2 SIII Mod v2 ROM and after a reboot the PlayStore app disappeared. I did the 3 wipes, flashed the ROM again and it wasn't there either. Then I installed the Stock 2.3.6 with Odin and again flashed that same ROM and nothing again. Installed Stock 2.3.6 with Odin again, downloaded the latest CM7.2 from cyanogenmod website, flashed it, and guess what ? No PlayStore app! Now in every CM based ROM that I flash, PlayStore is missing. In Stock based ones there is no problem, it's always there.
