His work has a bug: received some messages later (3days afterwards!): I think anyone should consider Aqtrans CM 5.07 (slower than warm eclair but fewer bugs) build or Warm eclair (myns).
This is the latest and fastest 2.1 release I've found that works out of the box with the Kaiser (f.e. wifi/BT/GPS/...). It's really much faster then the old polymod 2.1d most users (did) use. EDIT: now it's even faster. Mounting on windows x64 works fine (no need to install addition software).

I've added a working kaiser130 config bundle (SD card): extract to andboot on your MicroSD card and add the androidinstall.tar file (from Incubus's thread or others). Start haret (win explorer mobile) and wait for instructions (press D-button when asked for).
Installing to EXT2 goes faster, but you must format the ext2 partiions each time you reïnstall android. Please wait while installing, it can take a while (you'll see lot's of errors and in the end a black screen for a few minutes).
Thanks robuser. Tried this last night but couldn't get wireless working. trying again now.
Will post how I get on.
Yup working now thanks to the zimage. WLAN still not working out of box for me though.
Installing kallt_kaffe's gps and wifi update did the trick this time though.
Next thing is to flash to NAND one a decent TomTom replacement is out there.
for sd mount..i had installed polys build..i partitioned it 1 fat 32 and 2 ext...should i reformat and do it??
also wat gps are u using?? is it tom tom..i dont have a dataplan..nor am i gonna use the phone to make fonecalls..i just want to do gps..
IS BTaudio works on that build?
OpenGl ES
With SuperEclair Lite 2.1 RLS3, OpenGL ES hw acceleration is not working
I'm using dzo's kaiser nbh of 20100408
Is the kernel missing the hardware driver ??

DZO's Kaiser NBH's are usually without the hw3d.version parameter and it defaults to 0. Eclair NBH's have this set to 1. Use the NBH that I compiled instead (see first post of this thread).

I installed kallt_kaffe's GPS fix and installed Incubus26Jc's Super Eclair Lite 2.1 [RLS 3]. So far so good. Though I haven't had a moment to try out GPS, as I have no data plan and need to install iGO8. Unless someone can recommend me a better GPS application.
The only problem I noticed is that I removed the SD card and I needed to reboot in order for it to be detected. Been a while since I ran Android on NAND, so I don't know if this bug still exists.
**EDIT**
Can I install apps to SD, or do I need APPS2SD or am I screwed?

The best way to have increased apps memory IMO is to set /data to ext2 data.img or sdcard partition. For me the first one is the most stable and fast option.

Does that mean I gotta reinstall Android again? Not that big of a deal, but I like avoiding to redo a lot of things.
Also, I installed iGO and the screen doesn't show everything. I can't get past the select language screen. Can I change the DPI in Rogue Tools to fix this, or I gotta flash with a higher resolution?
Ok well I re-flashed it with 320-480 resolution, which makes the text barely readable. I used Rogue-tools to set the DPI to 144, and things look better, but I'd hate to see how this looks on a sunny day.
I set the data to SD card, and I'm hoping that's all I gotta do.

To use the option of data on sd card partition, you need to have at least three partitions on your sdcard. The first should be Fat32, the second and third should be ext2. The third ext2 is used by data on sdcard. A more simpler way is to set data to ext2 data.img, in which case all you need is a single fat32 partition, and the data.img is placed in the andboot folder. For resolution, many people find 320x428 @ 144 to be the best combination.

At 320X480 I set the DPI @ 181 and everything looks much better. I started up iGO and could select the correct options. Though iGO either frooze or was waiting for GPS signal, as I had control over my phone but not iGO. I probably need GPSTest running first before I start iGO.
I thought that ext2 on SD card need me to partition the SD card? I'm changing to that option now since it's the easiest. I have a 2 GB card with Android installation and a 8 GB for everyday use. This won't be a problem with ext2 on SD card data.img, would it?
**EDIT**
I set data to ext2 data.img, and it won't boot. I stop at the Android text and nothing happens for over 5 minutes. Tried deleting the data.img on the SD card and still nothing.

Once youre using your sdcard for data or system, you cant remove it while the phone is on or your android will crash. So if you use the 2gb card for installation you cant install onto the 8gb card, unless you first install android, and then through the installer menu set data to ext2 data.img after changing cards. Or you could just simply add the androidinstall.tar to your 8gbs andboot folder. Thats how I do it, I keep the install file in the andboot folder for 'situations'. Whatever works for you though, just keep in mind the limitation.

Hi all!
First of all - I'm not very fluent in the rom/flash related language, so it's quite possible that this is covered somewhere already - sorry for that...
I've been thinking about this thing with the limited internal space we have on our phones for installing apps, and how the phone handles updates.
As it is now an updated version of one of the "factory installed" apps we have in our phones (google maps, flash, gmail, youtube= almost 30MB) gets installed in the space we have internally for whatever extra stuff we download and install. And even if we do the App2SD that comes with Froyo or apply the App2sd patch we still see our internal space shrink.
So - my question is - is there any way of replacing outdated apps in the ROM-file (I'm not completely confident in the language here... sorry for that and hope you'll understand anyway) instead of getting them placed in our "dedicated" storage? I'm looking at about 9mb's of google maps, 12 mb of flash, 4,5 mb of gmail and with the latest youtube update I'm wondering why I can't put them in another place? Especially since I suppose that the "originals" still occupy this space in their installed location...
Is it as easy as downloading the ROM, and replacing the apk's (do I need new .odx files to?) and then flashing it, or is it more complicated than that?
Or how would I do this?

your kinda right, it cant be done with flash as it need all the libary files installed, but if you get the latest apk's for google maps & gmail and push them to the system partition they will work, but it wont gain you any space, especially if your using apps2sd. the apps are still going to store all there data in /data/data/ which is where all your internal space is going.
Ok... but if the applications still store their stuff in the same place, how can it be that an update of flash suddenly occupies 12+ mb's more? Is the change from one version to another really that big?
Sorry if I'm being a bit silly here... I just can't seem to be able to wrap my head around this...
Hello everyone.
I've recently switched to the Data++ Hboot with 10MB cache. Ever since then I haven't been able to download large apps from the Market.
I was wondering how to make the Market save the APK's on the SD Card instead of the cache partition. If I remember correctly this has been implemented in a number of ROMs, including the Oxygen ROM to name one. Where would I change that?
Sorry for deviating from the topic, but I have this strong urge to ask you this: How did you get 10MB cache with Data++? According to alpharev.nl, Data++ gives 5MB cache....
On a side note, I also have 10MB cache but my apps are installing fine (with a little help from A2SD).....how big are the apps you're trying to download? Maybe I haven't come across "big" ones yet...

Oh I see they've updated their website. I'm using an older version of Data++ (System 180M, Cache 10M, Data 261M). I still have the img plus a screenshot of the website to compare MD5, if you're interested.
Well, it was just a guess. Downloads to Angry Birds (both versions) and Rocket Bunnies are not working, to name a few. Since they're all over 10MB I assumed it was due to the smaller cache partition. I'm also using A2SD btw.
Hmmm,they are not too big then (was expecting 20+MB).....I just downloaded those two apps couple of hours ago on my one and it's running fine even though I've only got 10MB cache.
Normally you'd need a file manager (like the one with Titanium backup or root explorer) to do the job of moving .apk files to SD..these are normally stored in /data/app inside the internal memory and requires root access to get them...but the files must be downloaded in the first place.
Is your system up-to-date? I too had similar problems until I did a complete flash-over and updated everything.... unfortunately I didn't work out the cause of it

Oh I see, I was under the impression the apks get saved on the cache partition. In that case, I should look for the problem elsewhere. Yes, I'm running the latest Sense ROM (2.29 with the 5 ending), but modified to suit my needs. I guess it could be related to that.
More info about the 'non-downloading'. When I click on install in the Market, the download icon appears quickly in the notification bar and then quickly disappears. Was this the same problem you were having?
In short....yes...that was the main sympton I had....the download icon disappears quickly....and it only happened to some of the apps
Have you tried rebooting the phone?...

Yes, tried that. Also tried clearing the dalvik cache and cache but with no success. I have found this while looking for a solution on Google. Seems someone else is having the exact same problem.

Hmm, yea. The thing that's really frustrating is I still don't know what the problem was in my case..if I did I could've been a little bit more helpful. In my "rage" I just flashed a new kernel and a new ROM and that sorted out the problem for me....didn't stop to wonder what was actually causing it.
EDIT: I think changing the kernel, especially, did it for me...
Hmm…
I have the same problem (except my /cache is 3MB so I can't download files larger than that).
Funny though, it used to work just fine (I have Angry Birds and flash for example), it has only recently started to act up.
If anyone finds a solution (possibly without flashing), I'll be quite grateful
P.S.
When my download fails (downloading icon simply disappears), my logcat shows DownloadManager reporting that there is not enough space (with about 60MB on /data) and then Vending complains about the file not being found (because DownloadManager didn't download it).
Seems like a bug in DownloadManager to me. It probably doesn't look up the cache (mine is in /data/cache IIRC) but uses the free space on /cache to determine if there is enough to fit the .apk.
I'm now working on same think. Need to Market downloading apps to SD card instead of /cache. So is there any tweak for this?
Yep.
Requires a little bit of knowledge about how linux handles mount points.
Basically, the easiest way is to bind mount a folder on the sdcard/data to /cache.
I get this .. I just clear the market cache ... go back into the market , all fine .
I normally have to " download " stuff 3 times , before it installs.
Hi,
First i will say thanks for the great rom, i will try it asap (a little bit more stable)
i read about this rom in the topic since it was started .
i have some Questions, it will be my first "clean" Android (without Sense)
There should be a installer after first start of the rom after flash? Where can i found more information about the things i can chose?
Evervolv toolbox, is that an addtional Settings Dialog with more Options or still a app which can be used as "standalone"
(sorry for the bad english)
When you install it you will get some options to choose a launcher and a2sd-script.
On first start you won't get the app to set your g-acc and so on, you'll have to do that in the system settings.
And the Evervolv-Toolbox are additional settings the this rom it's not a standalone app.
Hope this helps
grtz
Please note that Sandvold ICS v. 0.4.2.1 has some stability problems at the moment. Many people experience "black screen of death", device fails to turn on screen after a period of inactivity, battery has to be removed to reboot. I found that raising the minimum CPU speed from 245mhz to 384mhz completely removes this problem. With this small tweak the rom is great! You *should* be able to change this setting with Evervolv toolbox, sadly it does not work. For some reason the toolbox runs with insufficient rights to tweak cpu speed, I did my own scripts to set cpu speed from the console instead.

This release seem very stable now. Just remember that the camera preview doesn't work. Also, you might have some problem with MMS.
App space problem
Hello - some help for a newbie please (well Desire newbie)...
I did try reading though Sandvolds thread, and I have tried to remedy, but I don't seem to get much further ....
I am running an ICS beta on my tablet, so I thought it would be interesting to try it on my Desire too. On the tablet there is more memory, so I have never experienced space problems with apps.
I rooted the Desire OK - and flashed 0.4.2.1 ... ran fairly smoothly, but hit space problems when trying to load up some of my favourite apps. I have a 16gb sd card. I downloaded apps2sd from the market - and moved some of the apps. However still not able to update some system apps from the market due to insufficient space (even though there appears to be enough).
Reading the other thread, I have gathered some/little understanding... and so before flashing 0.4.4 I reformatted my SD card from recovery choosing the largest ext4 that I could.
I was then ready to go to try 0.4.4.
On trying the Amarullz script and Nova launcher - I was having lots of lag after boot and I kept getting prompted to enter PIN number and reboot the phone. (I had done a factory wipe and cleared Dalvik after flashing the ROM).
I then reflashed choose Apex launcher, stock Kernal and data2sd option.
I wiped after flashing, did a few waits and reboots - as others recommended this.
Now seems to run quite smoothly, I have added back a bunch of apps via Titanium Backup ... but I don't see any apps 'automatically' being moved to sd card. I have moved as many as I can manually.
But I can also see that I am going to run out of space again soon ....
If I look in the settings at storage I see...
Internal storage - Apps 104MB Available 26.86MB
SD Card - Apps 239MB
Am I doing anything wrong?

1). www.revolutionary.io use this
2). www.alpharev.com download cm7r2.img
3). flash the hboot
Code:
fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
4). re-flash 4.4 and choose stock a2sd
5. enable a2sd
Code:
su
a2sd install
#choose settings#
Thanks for quick response..... I have a fee more questions....
I originally rooted my Desire via revolutionary .... do I need to do it again?
I guess I then flash the zip file.
The fastboot command - can I do this from the terminal app?
hi,
fastboot command and adb must be running from computer.
you need to instal sdk android sdk android
if you run revolutionary, u don t need to do once again but to flash an hboot you must be Soffed.
dunno if revolutionary does the job... i used alpharev to do son gain S-offed and able to flash hboot from fastboot command.
I saw the option to install agps in the installer but i chose gps. How can i add the agps when i already installed the rom? Because getting gps fix in navigation is taking way to long, so long that i abort it while trying

1. Done OK
2. Done OK
3. Done OK
4. Done ... BUT ... no Gapps, no Terminal app ... not much really not even a keyboard (even after 2 reboots)
- The link to Gapps for CM7r2 no longer works
5. Unable to try this as no Terminal app ... and I can't get ADB working on my PC.
where have my apps gone?
So I can't get cm7r2 to work, so I reflashed hboot back to standard, I then reflashed 0.4.4 choosing stock a2sd. I installed a2sd via terminal and moved cache too. After reboot I installed a bunch of apps .... and eventually ran out of space - as if apps not being moved.
I then rebooted, and all of the apps except the paid apps have gone. I installed a couple of apps from the. Market and they have also gone after reboot.
I turned a2sd off, then I was able to keep apps over a reboot ..... but I would like to get a2sd working.
Any ideas?
For now I am manually moving apps to SD card.
Sorry for this question...

4. Done ... BUT ... no Gapps, no Terminal app ... not much really not even a keyboard (even after 2 reboots)
- The link to Gapps for CM7r2 no longer works
5. Unable to try this as no Terminal app ... and I can't get ADB working on my PC.

Did you do a wipe after flashing the rom? I had a similar problem when doing that. CWM Recovery also deletes the sd-ext partition, and as on cm7r2 there are also system apps on sd-ext, they are gone.
With the included a2sd apps should be moved to sd-ext automatically. It is not shown on the phone.
How big is your ext4 partition? And did you create it with CWM Recovery? If so, try recreating with gPartEd.

This.

I created the extra partition via CWM recovery - maybe too large as I made it 4gb.
I wiped the device and Dalvik cache after flashing the ROM.
I then set a2sd via terminal and allowed reboot.
I then downloaded apps (or restored via Titanium)
Eventually ran out of space when downloading apps - so they were not being moved.
Apps run OK.
When I did a normal reboot - the apps 'disappeared '.
Reading Bortaks debug guide the only thing I can see that looks relevant is to try reformatting the SC card with 2 primary partitions.
Read what i wrote? Do the following:
1) Recreate the partitions on your sdcard using GParted
2) Do a full wipe BEFORE flashing.
3) Re-flash the rom and select stock a2sd
4) Do NOT wipe again
4) Reboot, start Terminal emulator, set up a2sd
5) See if apps stay
On my first try I selected stock A2SD and set it up as explained using the terminal. (using a 2GB ext3 partition, placed after FAT32)
I rebooted and everything seemed fine, and I installed several apps. After a while, though, I got the "insufficient storage" error whenever I tried to install something. In the application manager the internal memory available had a large negative value.
I then wiped everything, reformated the 2GB ext3 partition to ext4, using "Minitool parition wizard" and reinstalled the Sandvold ICS ROM with Amarullz. Everything seems fine, and it shows 2GB internal memory. However, I've noticed that the ROM gets more unstable the more apps I install (it shows 500MB installed apps now, after removing around 50MB)...
Most of the time what happens is that system apps start crashing (Google Music, Dialler, Contacts, etc.) out of nowhere. After a while normal apps crash on execution as well. Google music is useless, as it crashes after a few songs and brings down the whole phone. Other music apps don't have this problem.
Am I doing anything wrong with the way I set up Amarullz? Should I retry stock A2SD with ext4?
I'm using stock HBOOT, Nova launcher and stock kernel.
Got there ..... but.....
After repartitioning my SD card for the third time ... I finally have this working.
Thanks to all for help/advice ..... but (isn't there always a but) ....
Downloads from the Market/Play are extremely slow maybe 5+ times the same apps took before .... I have tried on different WiFi connections - still the same.
Is this a consequence of the write speed of my SD card (it is only class 4) ... I did see a post in another thread where a class 4 wasn't recommended, but this was refuted by others using a class 4 card.
Otherwise all apps seem to be running OK, with no real loss of performance.
I guess once I have finally loaded up on all the apps I want, the Play updates will be more infrequent and less of an issue.
Hi!
I bought a used HTC Desire. The person selling it had rooted the phone, installed a new ROM (miui, as far as I can tell, since there's at least the miui camera. He said he had wanted an ICS rom) and the phone is using the SD card for increasing its memory. Titanium Backup, LauncherPro, AC!D SoundMOD, Dolby Mobile, ES File Explorer, Firewall, Fancy Widgets, Pimp My Rom, QuickPic, SuperSU, two instances of Superuser, Task Manager and Theme Manager have been installed. LauncherPRO is used as the "desktop environment".
Some things from the "About Phone" dialogue:
Model number: HTC Desire
Android version: 4.0.4
Baseband version: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Kernel version: 2.6.38.8-cayniarb-ics-stock-022612-00844-ge004de8
Build number marius.a v.2.5(Temporary version)
The problem is, reboots keep causing programs to disappear or get corrupt. There are several ways in which this happens:
* Some programs launch, but don't show anything. For example Firefox ends up showing only a white screen with some basic OS-wide UI elements visible.
* Most programs simply say "Unfortunately, <programname> has stopped", where <programname> of course varies according to program.
* Some programs launch for a while, but fall to the "unfortunately, <foo> has stopped" after a second or a minute.
* Some programs completely disappear, leaving at best a picture of a green robot on the home screen. Touching the picture with my finger, I get: "Could not launch the requested activity."
* There is one program still working flawlessly: Andropas, a PT route planner for my city and Maverick, a GPS/maps program.
Also the Play store is now broken, although it survived many earlier program mass deaths.
I've fixed Firefox several times by uninstalling it using ES File Explorer and then digging it from the Downloads folder (I've installed a beta from an .apk file) and installing it again.
A reboot doesn't always break programs: My previous two reboots left FF intact. I once rebooted choosing Reboot from the menu you get by pulling the panel on the upper side of the screen downwards and then choosing TOGGLES and once choosing Shutdown from the same menu, waiting for the phone to shut down and then starting it again.
I am therefore not completely sure if the problem is reboot-related, but it has by now only appeared when I've rebooted my phone.
For adjusting yourself: This is my first Android phone, but I would call myself generally tech savvy and am able to grasp new OSes very quickly. A power user for sure, but not a developer on any platform whatsoever.
So... Any idea of what I should fix in order to get the phone functioning correctly?
If I have to go for installing another ROM, is there something about using the SD Card as memory extension that I should take into account in order not to brick my phone?
You have an old version of the Marius.a ICS Rom, and it has bugs. You should flash the newest one.
If that doesn't solve it, then repartition your sd-card. Check the guide in my sig.
