Someone please guide me........please

Instead of bumping your thread have you tried looking at the thread of the chef released rom for your phone as you might realise that others have same issue with the rom or not. I did a quick search of forums and i managed to find the answers within seconds.
We cant support your rom as we dont know what you are using / version and questions regarding that rom need to be posted in the correct forum thread

Sorry M8...But i am really confused with several ROM's and Methods listed here...
I will follow your instructions in future....Sorry Again....

Different roms work differently and you really need to try one, then ask about it in the chefs rom thread and if you dont like try another. Swapping roms and trying to use the same instructions on each may not work so you are only confusing yourself.

Thanks Again.....

A2SD is indeed moving apps to the external memory. A lot of custom roms have it. It requires an EXT partition on your memorycard, an easy way to do that is to get rom manager from market

Thread moved to Q&A.

judging by your post, you have already rooted your phone
here's an example how to do it with Official Froyo HTC Sense ROM v1.0c, which has built in old A2SD. I think it should work
- backup apps and system data with Titanium Backup Donate
- copy sd card content to pc in disk drive mode (by doing this, you will also copy your backups)
- download rom, radio and put them in root folder of your sd card
- you need to have some sort of recovery (whether it's update.zip in root, or permanent recovery - it's your choice)
- say a little prayer
- enter hboot -> recovery
- wipe all alvailable options (it depends on your current settings): data, cache, davlik cache, ext
- flash radio, it will ask for you to reboot from recovery, do it, it will restart few times, don't interrupt process of instalation.
- flash rom
-after you finish it, don't reboot, instead partition sd card using standard options: swap 0, ext2 512, fat32 rest, sd: ext2 to ext3 (this will format and partition your sd card, you will loose it's content
- reboot your phone, it will last longer than usual
- copy your sd card content from pc back to sd
- install titanium backup donate and restore system data and apps, it should force apps you previously had installed to sd
- reboot phone to finish restore
- install quick system info and check if your A2SD storage is partialy filled with data
-you should have your current apps and settings with A2SD enabled

Finally did it today with ROM manager huh......
Thanking all for support...

[Q]Some curiosity about my desire

Hello ppl,
I am a little curious about my desire and have some really silly questions...I would be really thankful if you answer some questions for me
1) My desire doesn't boot if memory card is changed or not inserted...Is it because my dalvik cache is on sd??I have a custom rom named
.AuraxTSense v7.6.1
Sense-FroYo 2.2 Official OTA
( FRF91 Fast l SYSRW l 720p| Stable | AP2SD+ | MULTILANGUAGE | Undervolt )
2) Can I connect my phone to my desktop via wifi??If yes,can I use it to share files??
3) What is Open Vpn??
4) While inserting a recipient for sending sms,if I select the "people icon" on top,then even e-mail addresses show up eventhough I have un-ticked google accounts in the settings where it is asked that "what all contacts to be displayed" I have only ticked phone contacts..
5) What is difference between AmonRa and Clockwork Recovery mod?? I have clockwork recovery mod installed by default in my phone...Which one is better of the two??
6) Is there anyway to backup and restore apps so that I don't have to install all the apps again after I install a new custom ROM???

sorry for double post but can anyone please do the favour of answering these simple questions??

1. you've installed all apps and cache on the SD card, so removing the SD card is stupid. Why should you? You can connect it via USB.
2. Yes. Yes, use the search to find results.
3. Don't know if you mean the same thing, it's a Windows, Linux program, Google is your friend.
4. Maybe because your contacts contain the mail addresses, too.
5. Both are good. When I took a look at AmonRa and compared it to ClockworkMod I just noticed that AmonRa has a few more features, like creating a partition and having a command prompt, however, it seemed outdated to me. i don't know the differences exactly, if you want to know it better, just use the search.
6. Yes, use the fu**ing search. Titanium Backup and MyBackup.

you have got almost all the answers in the above post but still
3)VPN- virtual private network,,,, i cant explain about it now ,,,google it
4)Yes it is the common issue ,,but it is solved in New sense ROM which is ported form htc desire HD,
in old sense roms if you still want the solution delete all the contact under google account i.e All e-mail ids. be care full dont delete your phone and sim contacts during the process
5) Both do almost same work but i chose clock recovery since it is supported by ROM manager
6)Use Mybackup-pro or titanium backup

thnx a lot for the answers people,it really helped me!!

backing up contacts before rooting?

hi all about to root my phone for the first time.
how will my contacts be saved and how will i restore them once ive rooted? i think they are synced to my gmail account.
also is the best method to root using unrevoked? there are many guides on the forum but whats the most updated one?
i am on a tmobile branded android 2.2 htc desire

Using unrevoked is the best method, imho.
I recommend to follow this noob guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084
Yes, this is a good way to backup your contacts. I also do this and never had problems restoring them.

If your contacts are all google contacts then they should be stored on good, and you can just sync the account on your phone after installing a new ROM.
Another option is to export al the contacts to a CSV file (there are free apps on the market to do this.) The upload this CSV file into google contacts.
Then all your contacts will be stored on google. So matter how many times you install a new ROM you can always sync the google account and it will bring down all your contacts..

thanks very much guys had a good read and got a few questions
1) why do some roms need ext3 or ext4? whats the difference. do i just partition whatever the rom needs?
2) should i flash a new radio before i install a rom? its not mentioned in the guide

ext3 or ext4 will be the sd partition to give you extra storage space...
ext4 i think is a bit quicker than 3...? if you look on wikipedia it'll probably explain

[Q] ROM Revolution v3.0

Does anybody can tell me if in the new release 3.0 they fixed the issue with small font ??

I'm still on V2.0 but looking at the changelog I don't think Tamirda did anything with the fonts, you could try changing the fonts to the ICS roboto font. Made the texts all much nicer looking and easier to read. That's how it is to me anyway

What about the A2SD+ working? Despite having installed this, my internal storage still shows 120ish megs...someone in the development thread said it's still working but I dunno, since after installing maybe 5 apps I went from 14megs used to maybe 30megs. It doesn't show the external partition size in the settings.

I was going to quote you but pressed thanks instead. lol. Can't say much about the A2SD+ version coz I've only been using data++ but since everyone says its working then it must be working right? You should try out the data++ version. Its much better and you get more space of course.

A2SD + for me works good . A t the beginning i had 170Mb (more or less) free internal space . Now i have installed 40 apps and i am at 100Mb free . So you dont' have to care about that number . it works , i don't know how but it works .....
But if you have to install hundreds apps you should use Data++ version .
To see if you have done the right partiotion yuu can use TitaniumBackup , there you can see all memory partion ( ROM , Internal , Partition)

How did you do to change the fonts ? i need to make it bigger because it's smaller than stock size . i asked to Tamirda(Revolution's cook ) and he told me that for changing it i have to do a very difficoult procedure so i gave up !

Well like I said I only changed the type of font, not the size of it. But by changing the type of font it looked easier to read. You can use an app called Font Changer
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.martino2k6.fontchangerlite
and use this Roboto Font.

Thanks for the tip about TitaniumBackup... I just flashed revolution back onto my desire and checked Titanium and it does indeed say SD Card (a2sd+) and the partition size... I guess I was just used to seeing it in the settings under SD and Storage like other roms and so when I didn't see it, I just assumed it wasn't working.
Thanks man

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A

Hi, installed on thursday (first rom installed) and i have two questions if anyone can help
1.Available space: Internal storage sais 28.79MB and SD card (a2sd) sais 1.62GB
I assume there is plenty of space for apps. Right?
2.Notification sound. There is no way to use my own notifiaction sounds, only the ones loaded with the rom.Other option is HTC Hub. There is no option to add my own as i did for the ringtone. I am missing something? Tried to copy my own on t=o the same dir with the rom's notifiaction sounds but access was denied.
So far battery seems to last longer.
EDIT: add third question=> Google calendar is missing and i can not add it.When i select calendars only "PC Sync" appears in the list. This is quite an issue for me.

Getting worse...
I did a fresh installation. Flashed radio, hboot, creted ext4 partitions on sd card, full wipe and installed RevolutioN.xMas.Edition.v3.0.Data++-signed
Now, each time i select a day in the calendar (HTC calendar) i get an error and the white screen with the green HTC logo.Text error:
"Sorry!
The application HTC Sense (process com.htc.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
After that i see the white screen with the green HTC logo and widgets are reloading.....
This is really frustrating and i can not post on the rom's thread since these are my first posts.
No one came up with this???
Not a good start for 2012
--------------------------------
Device: HTC Desire PVT4 S-OFF
ROM: RevolutioN v3.0 Data++
Radio: 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08
HBOOT: Cm7r2
Recovery: 4Ext v.2.2.7 RC6

Which hboot did you flash?

AlphaRev CM7 r2
HBOOT: 6.93.1002
------------------
After adding and removing my gmail calendar which lead each time to the same result,fail and white screen, i removed the htc sense clock and added fancy widget. Then i noticed that i could select any day in the calendar (HTC calendar) without getting an error and the white screen with the green HTC logo.This did not solve the issue but it is a workaround.I prefer using the calendar than using the sense clock widget.
I noti ced that the option to clear cache for HTC Sense is grayed out but i don't know if it is normal (Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications -> HTC Sense -> Clear cache)

Regarding the Notifications @ RevolutioN v3.0
I noticed on a second Desire with RevolutioN v3.0 (A2SD+ version) that it was not possible to use my own custom notification sounds via the settings menu.
However, after installing zedge and i successfully assigned one sound as notification from zedge.
After that i copied all my sounds into the zedge notifications directory (/sdcard/zedge/notifications).
I guess zedge added/mounted this directory with the systems notification directory and this dir was not read-only like the systems default notifications directory (/system/media/audio/notifications/)
(still can not post to the dev section RevolutioN thread ...noob alert )

Hi there,
I'm new on this and I still don't understand too much. Can you please help me?
I rooted my phone with revolution, that was the only one working for me. I have a HTC Desire Bravo. I have ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0 and some questions...
1. How can I flash the newest radio? I have tried to install from a zip archive and I get an error message each time.
2. How can I change the Hboot from 6.93.1002 to CM7 R2? I need it to install the Data++ of Revolution Rom. Is it the same way? I get the zip file and run it from the phone?
3. I have already tried to install once this rom and the available intern memory is somewhere around 11Mb. What am I doing wrong?
4. How can I do an ext2-ext3 and ext3-ext4 from revolution? On another HTC Desire bravo I did that with unrevoked but i'm stuck now on revolution, it seems impossible...
Thanks in advance for your answers. I'm trying to learn and I really appreciate any guidance.

Hi.
I am running RevolutioN V3.0, the A2SD+ version.
I really like the performance of this ROM, but there is just one thing that is bothering me.
The problem I have is actually a known problem in the standard HTC Sense. This is related to how phone numbers for contacts in Iceland are handled. The country code for Iceland is +354 and all phone numbers have 7 digits.
But the problem is that if I have a contact saved with a phone number that includes the country code (+354 1234567) the contact is not recognized when I receive a call from him, since the received phone number is without the country code.
On the other hand if I have the contact saved without country code in the phone number (only 1234567) the phone doesn't recognize the contact when he sends me SMS messages, because the country code is always included in SMS messages.
So because of this bug I need to have all contacts stored with two copies of the phone numbers, one with country code and one without country code.
I don't know if this problem only occurs with Icelandic phone numbers or if this also happens with some other country codes, but it would be very good if this is something that could be fixed. I don't know if the problem is in the ROM itself or the kernel.

I did these two steps with FastbootCommanderV.1.51 by mumilover (found it here on xda).Before using this tool, you have to s-off your device first.

3. I am also new at this but i have to assume that the problem is that you tried to install Data++ version with stock hboot. You have to read carefully the requirements on the rom page
4.I don't quite understand what you mean by "ext2-ext3" and "ext3-ext4">If you want to know how to create the ext3 or ext4 partitions on the sd card, i did them quite easily with 4EXT Recovery which also takes care of the allignement of the partition

7 digit caller ID fixed

Hi again.
I just wanted to let you know that I finally found a fix for that caller ID problem in HTC Sense.
The fix is in this thread:

I have tried it and it worked for me, so now I have this finally working in Sense.
Best regards,

Hot restart problem - RevolutioN rom 1.5
Hi all !!!
Yesterday I flashed my Desire with RevolutioN rom, and I have problem because I can't do "Hot restart". When I choose this option phone freeze. Maybe I missed some option ?

[Q] Deleting old app data

Hi there.
I've used two RUU in the last year on my DHD. After a phone restart, I go straight to the Marketplace to redownload the apps I had before using the RUU.
Some of the apps don't automatically download, and I can't remember them all so there's probably some old applications and associated data on there.
The SD card is getting full so I was wondering if there was an app out there I could use to remove all app data except that of apps which are currently installed.
I'm running a stock DHD on the latest 2.3.5 ROM with Sense 3.0.
Thanks for your help!

Easiest way I find personally...
Back up your contact list, photos, music, ring tones and the settings files on the main programs you can remember - Even better, use the HTC program
Format the card.
Plug it into the phone and let it load it's file system and then make a back up of that on your PC for future use. Just remember to back up your new contacts, photos etc...

Go to recovery or 4ext / CWM and delete Dalvik
EDIT: Later you can delete them one by one those which you don't use

I think SD maid can do that... I've heard it works pretty good.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

On SD card there is directory called \Android\. There are apps data.

Best and safest way.

I got a question about filesystem on SD card.
If you format it ext4 - how is it speed-wise? Actually what are main advantages?
And can windows7 then normally recognize "disk drive"?
