what's this unlimited thing all about?

Ask me, ask them!
Do they even understand its algorithm?
Just following... Mtchew...

yehmy: Step to follow do not install any app on ur fone yet, nw open ur link2sd create mount den unthick all d box in d settings of ur link2sd u cn leave d fast scroll option if u like, nw restart ur fone manually by removing d ba3 nd putting it back den start up ur fone.
open Root Explorer goto data open den goto sdext2 delete everyting inside.
Exit root explorer open it back goto data MOVE App, Dalvik-cache nd Data MOVE them to sdext2.
Now inside sdext2 long press App options will pop up nw scroll to link to folder nw link it inside data that's where u move dem frm. perform dis for oda files Dalvik-cache nd data.
Now restart ur fone nd goto settings on ur fone nd goto Application den goto Preffered install location choose INTERNAL start installing apps.
NOTE- Some apps will still b save on sd card dnt bother abt dem nd dnt move dem to fone memory. and if u want to un-install apps use link2sd to un-install all d apps u want 2 un-install
After installing apps always restart ur fone for better performance.

i will try this this simple method of your,, it is basic enough. Thanks for mentioning rebooting mamually. i av tried rebooting from recovery brfore and that made me to lose root acess, and i had to root my phone again. This is worth giving a trial.

Anyway gingerbean final is simply outstanding.
I've applied all memory boosting tricks incl elegale's xclusiv method as well as the modified adaptations but lagging had remained persistent. Had to reformat it yesterday after a crash. I decided to tyr something that i have been itching to do since elegale's enlightenment.
Did all about elegale just that i did act on only the app and dalvik cache folders exclusively. Results? Faster booting time with same no of apps as b4 and no noticeable lagging effects . Increased consumption of internal memory but neva to disturbing level, due to untouched data folder. But all the same i am extremely contended.
Thanks 2 elegale xanders et al

.

yehmy:
We've also used dt method tested nd trusted buh d data sumhw still consume sha tho nt much dts y we had a fix of it by moving d 3 folder i mentioned nd link dem bak.

K
(Noted)
Thought as much when i saw same posted
However must now that the left over folder ie app private is virtually and actually empty and as such has had little or no effect on our outcomes hence my satisfaction to let the data folder be.

WITH ALL BEING SAID AND DONE.....DOES THIS CUSTOM ROM ALLOW US TO PORT ICS AND MAYBE JB COMPATIBLE APPS ON TN3

GINGER-BEAN AURORA!
k....so i said 9th June in the last post, but things worked better than I had envisaged.
here you have it, Ginger-bean Aurora.

A few brief comments from Ginger-bean Architect, xanderz:
[b]Over a month ago, when I first started the Ginger-bean project, I had a vision of what I believed should be the custom rom
for our Tecno android, Ginger-bean RPM, a good rom, adding pre-shell root allowing for full modifications by the user, for the first time Tecno N3 users could experience what it really means to be a "superuser";
Albeit, this fell far short of my expectations, because I could see this machine could do more. hence, the need for other releases, gingerbean_v1.0, gingerbean_v3.0 (full init.d support), and gingerbean_final (Actual 4.0 cosmetics). the aim wasnt yet met, target not yet achieved, which was to bring to the tecno N3 the three main essential features of a Clockworkmod recovery enabled device; such as init.d support, mount ext2 partition, easy disaster recovery (system restoring and backup) which are the reasons why xda-developer koush made the recovery in the first place.
Now, I present the Aurora, which isnt everything I have in mind, however, I can gladly say it comes closest.
Hope you enjoy AURORA.
