I'm running cyanogenmod 6.0 with a few tuned settings at the moment, as disabling all the effects and dithering and so on. As the phone runs some days, it will get slower and slower.The browser is crashing and i'll get back to the home screen when pointing to an url for no reason. I think it is because the memory is absolutely full.

So i'm searching for the most g1 optimized mod. Which (pref. froyo) mod do you run on your dream / g1 and why?

I'm also running Cyanogenmod 6 (6.0.0-DS-RC2) and it runs fine for me, until I fill up the memory a little too much. The system needs a little breathing room (for cache/swap). If you're on CM6-RC1, I would suggest upgrading to RC2 (or higher, if a newer version is out by the time you get around to it). I also had a good deal of issues with CM6-RC1, so it sounds like that might be what you're running. What may also help you curb your memory issues is using FireRat's Apps2SD script. You have to copy the script file to your SD card and run it from the Terminal app (as root). BEWARE, however, that if you aren't careful with how you use the script, you will find yourself restoring and reinstalling all of your apps (I recommend using AppBrain, it can save you a lot of hassle of trying to remember what apps you had installed; it saved my butt more than once when this happened to me).

In my experience, CyanogenMod 5.0.8 ran best, but CyanogenMod 6 has lots of fun FroYo features, so I like it much better. Plus, they're still improving CM6, so it will only get better. They might even get a proper Apps2SD going on CM6 someday (Apps2SD support is much better on CM5.0.8).

Oh, and you might also try an app called "Cache Cleaner" (root only, for those wondering), which can help you keep free space at a maximum. – ch3mi0n Sep 23 '10 at 8:01
Thanks for that advice. A nice to know tool, because memory is one of the weakest points on the dream – mru Oct 24 '10 at 18:03
