My experience with different roms, corrupt sd card, and a fix?

[doubleu]

Lately I have tried several of the roms available on here and xda-dev for the Vogue. These include jd's, dcd's, the Bell rom, the factory sprint rom (obviously), and the "Sprint Big Storage rom". Although I didn't' use jd's for more than a day, I've had daily sd card corruption to one extent or another with all of these roms EXCEPT the "Sprint Big Storage" rom. I have flashed to the "Big Storage" rom on 2 different occasions, and haven't experienced sd card corruption with it yet.

I'm not sure if anyone else has had this same experience, but if so, chime in.

If you'd like to try it, the Sprint Big Storage rom can be found here:

I use the Big Storage version and still get the corruption -> only music and pictures on my SD card.

weird! i don't do anything different that i do with the other roms. I store my pictures on the sd card, and listen to mp3s on the card with pocketmusic. i run lots of apps from the card too (don't ask why, it's just out of habit from my 6700/700wx days i guess). i guess i'm not sure why i haven't had any problems with this particular rom then

It is VERY VERY difficult to know you have a fix for the SD problem because it happens so erratically. I've had one corruption and none in one month have done practically nothing different.

One thing I did do is on Vista a directory is modified on every Sync on the SD card (like it or not). To minimize writes during a Sync to the SD Card. I deleted the directory and replaced it with a file of the same name. This breaks Media Player Syncing with Vista but I don't care.

I don't know how much that helped. But it's one less thing that writes to the card which is a good thing. If it's not writing it won't corrupt.

Only other thing I have that I have no control over is iGuidance writes it's settings where the maps are. And there is no work around.
