[Q] runny 5.0 quest

hi guys!!
im not allowed to make a post in the development forums, so i make here a quest:
im using runny 5.0 by sebastian... great rom....
my quest is: how big is your swap of your ext when you use roms like sebastians runny?
thanks

I guess you mean your SWAP partition when you partition the SD...i've set it to 0 based on a root guide that is highly recommended and successful among german users. Works perfectly fine. I also have an ext4 with 1,5GB and Runny runs like hell

Ok thanks dude!! Closed

I wanna ask something about the ROM, actually the bug I found is in all 3.5 sense ROMs.
Every time I pull down the notification menu, the usb connection restarts, it's very annoying.
Is there anyone with this bug?

A quest? Oh goodie, a RPG game! OK, I'm ready! What's the first quest? Will I get new armor or cool weapons?

while on the subject of Runny 5, I'm kinda curious about this ROM, while still being a tiny boot noob-ish. I think it might be working when I have revolutionary hboot and 1GB ext3, but I would be calmer if someone could tell me it will/won't work

Yes it works perfectly.. you need a ext 4 and it recommend cmr2 hboot.. it works also with stock hboot... But i think its better with the modded hboot table...

So I should partition my sd with fat/ext4, do a full wipe and just install runny? I currently have ext3 and don't feel like copying all my music back to sd card... do you think it would work just as well with stock hboot and ext3? I saw it on rom manager (didn't have any problems yet with it) and would give it a go

I think it will work (boot up) with a ext 3, but sebastian recommend a ext 4, so i dont know... Just give a try... At first you have to wipe all user data, cache and dalvik... Then you flash the rom.. after this you flash the script (a2sdx v3 you can find it in the runny thread)
Its better if you use a ext 4 partition... Its not so.difficult to format the partition.. or?

[Q] about [ROM] [20/08] Pre-rooted Stock Gingerbread (3.14.405.1) from teppic74

Hello there Dudes!
First i want to send you my compliments for your GREAT and helpfull sites/ forum about all rootings & stuff
A past few Days i had such no idea about rooting etc. You helped me sooo much, i just want to say thank you...
And NOW?!?!
I'm coming from FROYO_2.2.2 with 5.11.xx now i have the OFFICIAL GB 2.3.3 with 5.17.xx
I HAVE ROOT! I HAVE S-OFF!
I have a new Hboot and CWM flashed!!!
Everything works fine.
But I still have problems with the internal Memory. A few aps and im out of space This is why i now had part my sd with des RomManager Tool. 512 to ext and 256 to cache.
But the Stock-Install don't mount the ext.part.
Now i have read, i had to do it BEVORE install ROM. Right? Not a big Problem, but i want to stay Stock as possible. So this ROM seems to be perfekt.
It shouldn't be any problem with GSM/HSDPA/EDGE and all the european NetworkStuff?!?
By the way: Provider is O2 (but i think it doesn't matter)
BUT:
Now I have a little problem to download the file from mirror placed in the entry-post. Is it a fault of my network or did you move the files to another server?
Can you give me an alternate adress?
I can't post in the developer forms.
THX a LOT
PS: Just another little Q i didn't find an answer:
Must a system be installed on the device, to flash a new ROM with an RUU executive? Or will it work too if the Desire in Bootmenu, only?

Hi,
I Didn't need to activate a2sd before installing rom.
I use Cyanogenmod, but i thing it should work on stock rom too.
Search for “darktremor“.

And you need only the recovery to flash a rom.

Have you installed a2sd addon from Teppic's thread?
SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk.

No, I hadn't install the ap2sd from teppic yet, because the downlink seems to be broken too.
But, it doesn't matter. I want to wipe my phone, because of other (i hope) software errors I had on phone since a long time.
For example the international storage have after install the GB update from 2.2 to 2.3 only ~110 to 120 MB free. This can't be right, can it?
So, now I want to try to do a new installation with min 3 wipes/ factory reset before.
This is why the question is: can I install a RUU file over USB, when there is not longer a system on phone? I think I have to make it from Cmw-Recovery with an zip?
So, my greatest wish is. Please give me a funktional downlink to the system of teppic!
Thanks so far!
Edit: now I realized the post from conch

UPDATE:
Plugged in a new 8GB µSD (C4) and partition it with CWM-Recovery to 1024MB ext and 256MB Swap.
This should be enough
Now coming up a new Question. What is the ext-part now of format? ext-2/3/4? I don't have seen any option to change this in recovery? Is the AmonRa better with this? I read, there you can have a format of your choice.
So, now I only have to get the rom of teppic
EDIT: New thinking way...
1. Can the errors be solved by a damaged kernel? The ROM's dosn't inklude Kernel, does it?
How can completely change/erase the Kernel and flash a new one? Like the Same as flash an ROM or Radio?
2. When i flash an lower ROM (2.1/2.2) coming from a newer/higher (like 2.3.3 with Radio_5.17.xx) do i have to change the Radio too? Maybe for an 2.2 the 5.11.xx? Or will 2.2.x & 2.1 also work with an higher Radio (like 5.17.xx)
Thanks a lot!

I think it is for the best you do it from the scratch. Extending partitions rarely gives desired results IMHO.

So far, so good...
I had now installed the Stock GB Rom. From the official developer update RUU.
A few wipes, before install, seems to be cleaned my system. No I have ~125MB free space on phone!
I installed the CWMR 5.0 again and also the SU 3.x from teppic. Everything looks fine and working.
Just again the same little problem that the diskspace for my apps will be totaly full soon... What did the think about this little storage??? Arrrgglll!
Before installing ROM i changed the partition on SD to 1024MB ext-3 without swap.
And noew I have installed the ap2sd from teppic74 too. In recovery, everything looks fine. The install-procedure runs to end and show no errors.
But I still have 125MB and can't find any ap2sd app or something
Do i have to mount the ext-3 in any way, or did I miss something other?
Best regards and many thanks to all the people answered me! And not much less all the people who created this forum!

1) a2sd is not an app but a script. Besides ls I don't think there is a way except observing how your /data partition behaves. Frankly, I think adb is little over your head now. If not, search Droidzone's guide.
2) exactly what are you doing? You have a ruu installed now and you flash a2sd over it, or you installed Teppic's ROM?
SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk.

Exactly I installed the developer RUU. Then flash it over adb with the ClockworkMod-Recovery and than install the v3.x SU from teppic with flashing from CWMR. Make new boot to check if SU works. Seems to be fine.
Then installed the ap2sd, from teppic, again with CWMR. Looks fine. But I don't think it was success. Because I've seen a screenshot in another thread, from an HTC desire, where you can see, the phone storage is more than 1GB. But I don't find this post again:/
Now I go on, first install the "Rom Manager".
So pls my friends tell me what I did wrong. Because the great internal storage with ap2sd+ was the main reason to make my phone root.

A2sd+ doesn't change the reported internal memory. That screen shot is from something else. I have a root memory faq in my signature which will explain how it works

V. Little Storage Space

Hi, I have a problem where the phone only allows me to install about four 3-4mb apps before is says 'storage space is running low'. This has been the case for a long time over many roms.
Tried with and without an 1gb ext4 partition on a 16gb and 32gb memory card. Roms tried include most ICS, JB 4.1 and JB 4.2. Have also tried with a2sd and without. Result: no changes.
Am currently on Nikez's 4.2 roms.
I hope there is a solution...
Thanks

Did ya activate a2sd via terminal emulator?
a2sd install (grant superuser perm)
Then answer....

About 100mb - but it gets 'used up' with about 20mb. I am s-off, stock hboot. Is there a way to completely return it to factory settings so i can start over again. Factory resetting doesnt help the problem, nor does swapping sd cards

Exactly after flashing the rom, flash this:

It should get you a lot more space by also moving dalvik cache to sd-ext (no need for terminal commands anymore)

My sd card is currently not partitioned, and i don't really want to re partition it. Is there any way to fix this without partitioning sd card. I have previously tried a similar file to the one you posted, and it allowed more apps to be installed but still not as many as was used to
Edit: Having seen your sig, i read the how to partition guide, and I used the 4ext recovery method. Is it possible to remove and then recreate a partition from that recovery?

alternative custom ROM

hi im using currently mildwild 9.5 based on redux
and it crash a lot, so i need alternative ROM that will automatically save apps to my SD partition like this ROM i have - i dont like these app2sd never transfer everything on SD and i get low on space
any suggestions?

MW9.5 is very stable. How did you partition your SD card? Suggest you to wipe everything, re-partition if needed and flash. Everything should be working just fine.
Alternatively, you can try other MW ROMs like the one based on CM or oxygen. They're working perfectly too.

can you link it cant find in search or full name

You are probably low on space because you are still on stock hboot.
Nandroid backup and change hboot using fastbout commands, search for guides. There are custom hboots posted in that thread if your search. Or just use something like cm7r2 hboot.
512mb is also quite small, you can use at least 1gb.
Check everything is working by installing another app like diskusage to browse all your partitions.

I meant the ROM that you are running is stable, so its likely a problem on your end. Try doing a full wipe and reinstall it.

I had pink led and then blue one i left it for 35 min even more than this ,it didnt work, full wipe and no progress... Any ideas? If not then what ROM based on gb look with increasing internal memory do you reccomend?
Thanks for any help.

Did you follow all the instructions here (http://supernova.droidzone.in/category/installation/ )?
You could try MildWild Redux. It's supposed to be updated today, and it moves data/app and Dalvik cache to sd-ext. Combined with the cm7r2 hboot, it should be enough for about 100 medium sized apps.

No problem. You actually do a lot better than others.
So, you did the right steps, including the full wipe and the correct partitioning. Then it might be the sd-card's fault. Do you have another sd-card laying around? If you do, then partition it, and try installing supernova.

What were you wiping until now? When you install a ROM, you have to wipe everything except sd-card. Sd-ext too.
