D2ext Roms - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have only used A2sd Roms but now thinking of using D2ext Roms. I have a few questions first,
1. Other than speed, do D2ext Roms offer any other advantages?
2. Is it true that nandroid backups do not work on D2ext Roms as recovery does not recognise the 2nd partition?
3. Any disadvantages?
4. Anything else I need to know?
Thanks

The main benefit you get is additional space.
Personally I would only move if you are really low on space. I have tried a couple but found to many issues.

had some issues too but i know if it was my slow class 2 micro sd being the cause... i tried miui data2ext

Go try droidzone's RoM startburst 2.2 or supernova 2.3. Class4 or better is best for data2sd, but other people have used class2 fine, maybe there using good braned cards.
I would never go with another RoM with out data2sd because I like having 2GB internal space, I was so pissed of when I got my phone and after couple days it was asking to remove app's. Droidzone RoMs are very fast and stable 2.2 but not has fast has 2.3.

[Q] If you put a Custom ROM with A2SD+ on HTC DESIRE how many apps can u install?

My question essentially is Im curious just HOW MUCH usable INTERNAL MEMORY will you get in total if you root and install a custom rom with A2SD+ I saw and heard someone saying you can get 1gb internal memory for all of your apps? of course due to having partitioning your SD card, how many apps can you install and run ?

105 with 20MB internal left, so I'd say it is about that. Stock hboot.

That doesn't mean you can go crazy on games and Google Earth either. I have 105 which are apps that are used to improve functionality, not for boasting.

Droidzone on his Supernova ROM with my data2sd has installed over 450 and still has a lot of space left

Sent from my HTC Desire with DATA2SD
whats the difference between data2sd and a2sd+ which one is best to allow you to have the most amount of internal memory to install apps possible? my friend has got a htc desire with a miui rom and has installed over 300 apps ? how? i wanna know which is the best way to get most amount of memory ?

With a2sd+ internal memory still decreases because not all app data is moved to sd-card, some ramains in the internal memory.
data2sd moves entire data folder to ext3/4 partition on sdcard so nothing in internal memory get decreased (maybe something related to dalvik cache?).
That partition can be very big (I have 512GB - not much but I'm too lazy to repartition/reinstall). I saw some users are having as big as 2GB. I guess it can go more.
I'm runnning droidzone's Supernova 2.0.2.0 and I'm having 150 apps there and still 40 MB of free space. ROM is stable, fast and comes with data2sd metioned above.
i really appreciate you clearing that up sounds great i was curious if you know or if anyone knows for that matter wether there is any sense 3.0 or sense 3.5 roms with the data 2 sd script in it ? if not what are the best data2sd running roms for the htc desire?

Cool3D AceS v3 has a data2ext version.
Sent from my HTC Original Desire using Tapatalk
data2sd is better imho. It is constantly being developed by Sibere here and still well supported. Not to mention it was first.
I am unsure why sibere's work gets so overlooked all the time.
Im using CM7.1 ROM and it supports A2SD. Partitioned my SD card thru recovery using clockwork and installed S2ext. Set one of the extesions to 512 mb. Already Installed 43 user apps and (126 apps including system apps), but still i have 111 mb free memory. A totally great boast to my Desire as compared before on a stock whereas doing a hard reset every two weeks due to low memory issues.
is data2ext the same as data2sd? and is there a clear step to step guide on how to get the Cool3D AceS v3 ?
rootSU - Tell me the reason WHY you say data2sd is best?
it depends from the size of the apps, if you have root, then try to put the dalvik cache to ext3, too

[Q] Partitioning SD, is there a clear easy guide?

after a few hours of searching and reading on xda and google, i understand the reasoning for aligning partitions on the SD card, but i just cant find a clear set of instructions on how to do so. I´ve read Sibre´s thread on partitioning, which mostly made sense but the calculations seems a little confusing. I have a 16gb class 6 SD card.
Currently my SD card is partitioned as Fat32 + EXT4 (1gb), which was done with gparted, aligned to MiB.
1: does anyone know of an easy to follow guide?
2: Is there an app (or command line string) that can show the details of an SD cards current partition configuration, and/or confirm if its correctly aligned?
i just use ext4 recovery... not the touch one, its still too large, i dont want to brick my phone... but the normal one it great!
this recovery will do all you asked for and all you need.
There is no reason to re-partition your SD card, unless you wanna use a ROM with DATA2SD (which needs an EXT-partition with 1,5 GB - 2 GB). For the rest of the ROM's your setup should be totally fine.
If you really need to partition your SD card, the easiest is to do it with recovery (my recommendations are 4EXT or RMD). The alternative should only be GParted, nothing else! Please do not use something like Rom Manager or Partition Wizard if you want to have the rewards of your SD card!

Thanks for info. Im currently using MIUI-XJ D2EXT rom, but have been trying CM7.1 which seems quite laggy in comparison. Manu´s Kernel seems to give best performance, have also tried tiamat´s.
I wasn´t quite sure if the lag in CM7.1 was due to SD alignment, as i was using D2SD.

I can appreciate that others have a better experience on theirs with cm7, but not so in the case on mine. As much as i´d like to be using cm7 (as i really like the options), it doesn´t perform near as well as miui-xj d2ext on my desire. Possibly the D2SD is causing the lag.
CM7 in itself is a fast rom and doesn't really support any "xxx-2SD" that's why we say that the ROM doesn't lag.
Since the hardware limitations of our device, we are 'forced' to apply 'hacks' to get the most out of it. I haven't flashed/used any scripts but I do use S2E app on the market and haven't experienced any lag with CM7. Yes there is a possibility that the D2SD you are using is causing the lag.
Check out this excellent tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning
on cm7 i suggest a2sd ONLY, NOT dalvik/caches 2 sd, NOT data to sd, NOT a2sdx
simple a2sd using, oddly simple2ext, or one of the unofficial scripts given out in the CM7 nightly thread... (gingervillian uses darktremors a2sd, but even that causes lag with dalvik2sd)
https://market.android.com/developer?pub=OlegKrikun
if you use anything else you are likely to cause lag.
I've used ClockWorkMod Recovery for partitioning my sd-card. I'm running Runnymede AIO V4.0 SE now. No problems at all.

rom with more space

hi everyone, a friend of mine has a desire (stock rom) and always the problem that the internal capacity is full. now we are looming for a stable rom which basicly has sd card limit for apps and is not restricted to the intetnal one.
ive read quite a lot here and lokked at some roms and have some favorites, but i would like to get some input from actual desire users what rom they use and how the situation is with the app storage space.
so what rom do you use?
and hows the app storage situation with the rom?

you're going to get confusing answers from this question in my opinion, though you could try here. if you want stability at the moment stick with GB roms.
best bet would be to browse through a few in the development section, see what your friend wants, rather than what other people tell you is the BEST ROM EVER

virtually all of them will have raised the limit on app storage using various scripts, which is one of the main reasons of custom roms on desire in the first place
each rom will have their own requirements, but generally need an sd-ext partition (use 4ext recovery or gparted) and/or a hboot partition table.
i've always found this guide useful in understanding root/memory stuff.

Supernova,by Droidzone, just do a 2gig ext4 partition and you will have 2gig of internal memory.
This Rom is base on stock 2.3 and is tweak for the better. Super smooth and your low memory days are over. Don' t take my word try it yourself
my HTC Desire runs actually BCM cyanogenmod9 with a data++ hboot
Anyway, you could get free space without changing rom and avoid using sd card ext (which might introduce some lags), by flashing the bravo Sense hboot (saving 70MB and keeping HTC Desire's stock rom).
That's my point, but it depends on your friend's rom preferences
thanks all for the feedback, actually i looked yesterday at some roms and supernova was one of the roms i considered since its aosp based, the other would be mildwild which is cm7 based, i guess i will just add my friend what suits her better and then go with that.
any bugs or other issues i should be aware with theae roms?
oh and i think the device has 5.11....radio i think. will that cause problems?

I just converted to mildwild 4.1.9 and can vouch for it being very impressive. I have setcpu app on it and now have 75% battery at the end of the day. I have a 16GB SD card and loads of storage so far, but I must say I am more disciplined with what I install now, as I used to gum it up with anything and everything! Mine is a desire GSM btw.

Oxygen rom is worth a look. AOSP rom that is closest to stock Gingerbread that you'll gonna get for desire. Just use the custom hboot for it found in http://alpharev.nl. (s-off required) and EXT partition on the sd card and it should give you one of the most stable rom with decent space for your apps.
check http://oxygen.im to get the rom.
iv been using mildwild oxygen the past week and got no complaints, i used runnymede aio as my "stock" rom and always went back to it lol but i honestly cant see myself going back this time
Sent from my HTC Desire
thnaks a lot for the feedback,
we tried mildwild oxygene but after one day and 5 self reboots its clear this is not stable at all.
now i have an other question, i flashed cm 7.2 with full wipe but the device always booted/rebooted into recovery... what can be the cause of that? mithg we have some partitioning problem here?
or something else thats wrong?
i partitioned the sd card with the cwm (1gb ext, 32mb swap) that gets installed with rom manager (5.0.2 or so i think).
if this is the problem, would be awesome to get a link to what we need to make cm 7.2 work. thanks.
lol mildwild oxygen not stable? probably 1 of the top 3 most stable roms iv used. using it now, not 1 single problem.

maybe you could mention something better instead of just calling cwm crap?
well maybe if u wasnt so cheeky i would of. cwm is known to make bad partitions so maybe try 4ext recovery or gparted to partition. i use 1gb ext4 and rest fat32 (no swap) with mildwild oxygen and iv had no problems so maybe try 4ext recovery
Sent from my HTC Desire
thanks for the information, i will check the partitions today with gparted and probably reformat. i created a 32m swap partition and i dont know if cwm created a ext3 or ext4 partition so that might be the problem...
i did not intend to be "cheeky" (and not sure if i understand it correctly, sometimes im getting a bit upset when people post something like: " it works for me." and do not think about adding some info what could be different:O
if ur gona use mildwild oxygen i dont think u will need a swap size when u partition sdcard, just do a 1gb ext4 or 1.5gb max and the rest fat32

The amount of apps you can install depends on which you choose Link2sd or Data2sd. Choose link2sd if your card is of class 4 or less. Go for data2sd only if you have a good card..
Almost all the ROMs are good here...
Personally I prefer these according to their spec.
Sense 2.1 / GB2.3.5

I have both HTC Wildfire S and HTC Explorer. I would still prefer Wildfire S over explorer. The only drawback of WFS is that the processor is slightly older.
But WFS has a good android development team but there is just a single ROM for Explorer.
Go for Wildfire S. Its worth it.

You need SOff or S-On with unlocked bootloader + root.
The Wildfire S has that really irritating low internal memory problem when on stock.
Use the Data2SD flashable ZIP included with most ROMs posted up there. You can use ROM Manager to quickly partition your SD card (but it formats it so you lose all data on it).
If you use a Sense ROM, then Facebook for HTC Sense will pump your ContactStorage with profile pics, so even if you do Link2SD (which doesn't link system apps), you might run into low mem after a few 1000 messages and syncing contacts with fb.
.theme prob
.guys i've downloaded some themes for this ROM alpha6.
.after applying these themes, nothing happens. i mean, icons are still the same.
.the only theme that worked for me is the outline theme for cm9.
.anyone with the same prob? thanks for the ROM though its great
MIUI V4 is the best Rom.
If your'e looking for a fully stable rom then cm7...but i prefer cm9 but it's not as stable as cm7
For daily use wildchild is the best. It can play games overclock and everything else so well with lots of free internal memory.

in addition to this great post, you should also save what you want if you havent flashed your phone yet, and partition your SD card so that it will have a swap and apps partition that the phone will throw apps to instead of the phone memory by default. i have a 32GB sd card myself so it gets a 4096MB apps ext3 partition, and a 1025MB swap partition. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for better performance. by default, Android does NOT have a very large swap file, if at all. this all can be achieved by using the ClockWorkMod Recovery Image. Use that to achieve your partitions instead of using a PC.

Not when i have a 32gb card... plus, with an ext3 partition, i can backup that sd card in linux.
In other words, when you have the extra space, use it!

This is the EXACT problem I have with links2sd on the wildfire s I currently have.
However, everyone suggests, on this rom and others, that if you don't have a class 6 or above card, then don't use apps2sd or data2sd (are these the same?)
I have the stock 2gb card that came in the wildfire s and I believe it's a class 2 or 4 maybe? Is this going to be a problem with the stock card?
Also I think this has to be setup as a gold card or something? I can't remember how it works with this phone
WildChild mentions that he has odex and de-odex? Which one does everyone recommend? Odex has 117 mb free, de-odex only has 77mb free.
Also Wildchild only used app2sd, not data2sd.
Hensemod uses links2sd which is where the super slowdowns on my phone are coming from per above.
How would I use data2sd instead on either of these?
(I tested my sd card speed and it's 6mb a sec easy)

in addition to this great post, you should also save what you want if you havent flashed your phone yet, and partition your SD card so that it will have a swap and apps partition that the phone will throw apps to instead of the phone memory by default. i have a 32GB sd card myself so it gets a 4096MB apps ext3 partition, and a 1025MB swap partition. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for better performance. by default, Android does NOT have a very large swap file, if at all. this all can be achieved by using the ClockWorkMod Recovery Image. Use that to achieve your partitions instead of using a PC.

Right... I tested many custom roms and finally stuck in stock sense with dust kernal and link2sd.... Pretty good and stable....

Stable Sense ROM with A2SD?

Hi,
I'm on my way to a friend who is giving his old Desire to his girlfriend. He wants to put a stable sense rom on the desire which expands the internal storage on the sd card.
Now I know a lot about my devices, but almost nothing about the desire. I'll have no problem flashing and setting the thing up, but need advice which rom I should use.
If it weren't for the A2SD part, I'd go with the latest stock rom, but the internal space is just too small
I was running the SMS by RSK for some time without issues, very stable. Just create an ext4 partition first (1 to 1.5gb) and no need to run another apps2sd script.
