Hi guys and gals.
Right, i have tried a few Roms, and been having minor issues on them, i want to do a complete wipe, and load the Rom freshly, before I report any problems to the dev.
I am currently on AuraxTSense, I have unRevoked, and before i installed this Rom, i did a factory reset, wipe dalvik, and personal data. Anything else i can do ?
Is this the best wiping I can do, or is there any more ?
Thanks
Well as the rom(AuraxtSense) is using a2sd+ do you have an ext-partition? In that case, in order to try a full wipe, you should do the following in the mentioned order when in recovery:
- make nandroid backup(in case anything goes wrong)
- wipe cache
- wipe dalvik cache
- wipe data
- wipe sd-ext
- flash rom zip file
- flash correct radio(if you haven't already done this)
BTW. i'm running AuraxtSense 7.6.1 without any problems at all
Ok I do have SD partitioned, and it was still giving me random reboots, i am back on leedroids latest now, and i will see how that goes, if its still doing the same i will try upit suggestions.
anohter question, if i format the sd card, is it still a ' goldcard ' or do i have to do the process over again?
I believe a goldcard doesnt loose its feature even on formatting ?
"once a goldcard, always a goldcard " ?
BTW whats wiping "cache partition" ?
before flashing each new rom with ap2sd+ do we have to format the sd card and partition it all over again ?
thanks

Sounds like its most likely your SD card. Backup everything off it onto computer, then format it, get rid of all partitions for eg. App2sd just to be safe, then put update file on SD card again, full phone wipe, dalvik cache wipe, and you should be ok. Mess about with app2sd once your bit more experienced.

Are you new to flashing custom roms? the first boot can take a while fyi
do a full wipe and wipe the dalvik cache before you flash the 3.3 rom
it must be that you didnt flash it properly, the 3.3 rom boots without problems on the hero
wipe/factory reset
wipe dalvik
wipe/factory rest
off
boot recovery
flash
reboot
setup
reboot
done!

Nope... I'm not new to flashing ROM. Almost flash to the level where I need to in an Anonymous Flash-oholics group.
I did do a full wipe and wipe the dalvik cache before I flashed the 3.3 rom.
I also re-flashed, tryed wipeing before and after, wiped the dalvik cache before and after...
The reason I do not have a ext part on my SD is, that I do not install so many applications, that I run out of space. And the speed of the internal mem is alot faster.
For keeping my apps between flashs, I find titanium back to be the best solution.
Is a ext part need to run the 3.3? I ran almost all the other villain rom version, without a ext part.

Hey,
I also have problems installing 3.3 ROM. I have a running 3.2 VillainROM but 3.3 will just not install! I did factory/ rest wipe + Davlik wipe but stuck @ bootscreen again! I do have a ext3 (or 2) partition which I did not flash, but the installing of 3.2 worked fine so I guess its a problem with 3.3...
Recently I've managed to root using Unrevoked and flash a new ROM to my HTC Desire, I currently have Cyanogenmod v.7 RC2 running and it's fantastic!
However I'm already running low of internal memory.
I've done some reading about how to boost this by setting up a partition on my memory card, however there are some things that don't quite add up in my head. Below is a list of what I think I need to do to obtain A2SD+ for Cyanogenmod v.7 RC2, correct me if I'm wrong anywhere please
Make a backup using ROM manager
Copy all important data from memory card as I will have to format it - This includes the backup.
Use ROM manager to format the SD card and create a ext3 partition
Download S2E (Simple2ext) from the android marketplace and tick the box to move the dalvik cache to the SD card.
If the process list above is correct then my questions are:
Do I need to have obtained S-OFF to complete this process?
Do you need to start from a clean slate when moving the dalvik cache, i.e. should I factory-reset/wipe dalvik cache/wipe cache and then install Cyanogenmod v.7 RC2 again?
When you move over the dalvik cache is this a permanent move? For example if I had problem booting and I went through the factory-reset/wipe dalvik cache/wipe cache and then install Cyanogenmod v.7 RC2 again would this reset the dalvik cache back to its original location on the internal memory? Or would something more complicated need to be done to achieve this?
Thank you in advance for any help,
I'm slowly learning the basics

Bump,
any help would be greatly appreciated.
For any tl;dr
I really just want to know if moving the Dalvik cache to the SD card is permanent? Or will a full re-flash restore the dalviks original path back to the internal memory?
1) No.
2) No, don't do anything.
3) The dalvik cache does get moved but not too sure if it's permanent.
I would say to move dalvik cache back to internal, you would have to wipe /system because it's a script that gets installed as you need to remove the script. It's not permanent the way your thinking of. Just if you move it using the script then I don't think you can move it back whilst the script is installed. When the script is removed it will reset and go back to internal. Does that even make any sense?
Before I used CM7 stable rom.
As I want to use data2ext, thus i flashed to RCMixHD v3.6.1 D2EXT Rom. But i got a problem after reboot the system. I have had wipe all cache, why still got an error ?? many apps are forced to close.......what happens??
Be more specific.
What kind of error? Boot error?
Application error?
It helps to know "exactly" what happened.
after flashed Rom, I rebooted system.
It can be entered the first screen of HTC sense. But when i unlock the screen, it is looped to load setting.
I also cannot used the home button and cannot go to any apps. It will be forced to close.
WIPE everything... not just cache, but system/cache/sdext/dalvik cahce (factory reset).
Then flash the ROM.
And make sure your SD Card is partitioned as recommended in the RCMixHD thread.
yes....I already wipe everything...
my SD card have also partitioned into FAT32+EXT3+EXT3+SWAP
but it also cannot be normal for my flashing
Recommended partitions are ext4, but i don't think that will be the problem. What Recovery do you have?
the system will auto change ext3 to ext4 for running the script.
Recovery???.....what do you mean that?
BTW, flash the ROM and after flash this fix:
http://rom.tat.tw/desire/Fix/bootHD.zip
Recovery: CWM x.x.x.x or AmonRA x.x.x ?
you mean the ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 ???
Try downloading again: http://rom.tat.tw/desire/RCMixHD/v3.6/
Check if the size is correct. It MUST work with CWM 2.5.0.7 and your SD Card setup.
If not. Try this : http://www.multiupload.com/C8Y4YPOFC0
i tried..it also cannot be worked........
does anyone know whether there is/will be a A2SD version of 3.6.1?
The latest A2SD is only 3.0 =/.
Right ive just installed android ics beta really nice rom and is working pretty good
I have a few questions since installing this rom as its the first time im using A2SD script, the questions i have is can i use darktremor's A2SD on any rom e.g. Cyanogenmod7.1?
and from moving the dalvik cashe to the SD card when say i want to flash a new rom do i have to move it back to main phone? (little confused there)
Thanks !
I'm also quiet a newbie in such things, but since
no one has answered till now, I try to give it my
best shot.
I'm not sure on your first question, since I always flashed
ROMs with already built-in a2sd support, or at least should
have had built-in support, which I could repair by flashing
the a2sd script (just did with miui-xj - man, was I scared to
break everyting!).]
But I THINK, that every ROM, which supports init.d and is
not the stock ROM () can be used with the a2sd script.
And on your second question..
As far as I understand, the dalvic-cache is moved on your sd-ext
partition, right? And since it seems to be always advised to
wipe all data, the sd-ext is also wiped and so is the
dalvic-cache.
I'm sure somebody will correct me soon, if I'm wrong!
You don't have to move dalvik cache back to the SD card, but you DO have to FULL wipe your /system,/data,/dalvik and SD-EXT or you'll get bootloop errors. When you then wipe dalvik cache it should rebuild on data.
cheers so i need to ensure i whipe the Ext partition also?
When you are using the ClockWorkMod Recovery, the
sd-ext partition is formated when you apply
wipe data / factory reset.
I can only recommend the
Noob Proof Everything Desire Guide in the development subforum.

At step seven it is described how one should proceed.
Moving dalvik-cache to sd-ext will possibly lower the volume in Sandvold's ICS rom.
Hi there,
I recently put mildwild CM7 on my HTC Desire (had a thread for this).
It didn't help getting rid of big boot problems (sudden reboots, bootloops....mostly after a reboot/bootloop, the device is stuck at HTC Logo).
I assume hardware malfunction, but would like to try a full wipe and another SD-Card.
Therefor I need help. Using 4ext, I read in this thread that I need to:
wipe data / factory reset
wipe cache partition
advanced > wipe dalvik cache
advanced > wipe battery stats
Also, I want to use a new SD-Card (8GB). I have no clue how to do that and of course not, in what sequence.
At last, I have a more theoretical/abstract question on a different toppic:
when I succesfully installed the mildwild CM7 Custom ROM, can I delete the two zip-Folder (part1 and part 2) of the ROM on my SD-Card or do I have to keep them there?
No doubt, I'm a noob
thx in advance!
Yea, you can delete the rom zip after you installed it.
sounds like maybe a problem with ext partition rather than hardware......Use GParted on pc to create your fat32 and ext partition on new card, then stick the rom on ur new card, new card into desire, full wipe desire, install rom, delete zip files of rom if you wish
