I made a swap partition w/ CM7 Elitemod and when I type 'free' in terminal, i get straight 0's
How do I enable swap? I wanna test it out
There are many guides out there. Im not sure what cm7 requires you todo but i know with virtuous roms you need to enable it after you vcreate the partition. This is done with a nice script that is placed in the root of your sdcard. You also need to reeneable it everytime you flash a new rom.

I've run 2 scripts now found in the G2 dev forums and they both error out when running them, problems with syntax errors
Can someone recommend one that works for them on CM7?
You don't need swap on CM7, G-Lite, Google AOSP type roms. However if you want to test it out you can find the guide at the Virtuous site. Honestly on Google AOSP it won't do much, but maybe limit how much time you have with your sd card. Also the kernel needs to support swap so that may be why some people are getting errors.
On cm7 the effects can be for the worse. Also, u need a kernel that supports it.

per your guys' advise, I am abandoning the idea of a swap partition.

S-offed and rooted when I first got it. Removed all the bloatware, and got some needed space back. Tried to install custom ROMS that I found off of xda. When flashed the Rom with unofficial cwm recovery, the phone booted back up, but with no signal. When trying to connect through WiFi, under the quick settings option said "Error". Cannot use WiFi or get a signal. Was wondering if it had anything to do with the bootloader not being unlocked. Went to htcdev.com to unlock bootloader, downloaded the Rom update utility for the virgin mobile wildfire s, the ruu told me my Rom image needed updated. After starting the update, phone reboited with the silver HTC on the screen, then shut off and restarted only to be told by my computer that there was a "device id" error. Anyone know why no signal with custom flashed ROMS? Thanks.

Have you been flashing GSM roms? If so i believe this have been caused because of that. Roms that you should flash on your phone should be CDMA only.
I'm not sure. I mean I'm pretty sure they're CDMA roms cause I searched "htc wildfire s virgin mobile cdma custom roms" on Google and found like 5 or 6 roms. I've been trying to get some sense 3.5 roms for it but I've been having problems with no service.
If you go to the Wildfire S Android Development section, there are several active threads for Marvelc phones.
Try:
-[Rom] [Kernel] [Soff] [Many More] Team MarvelUSc which has a ton of stock ROMS and custom ROMs.
-[WFSDEV][AROMA] .sense, a customizable Sense 3.5 ROM for the Wildfire S & Salsa which is a Sense 3.5 ROM with some Marvelc support (some users have reported issues).
-[WIP] [ROM] [AOSPKERNEL] SSCM7 for CDMA Wildfire S which works with bugs with MMS and the camera.
One of those should work for you. These are just some examples of popular threads. There are many, many more ROMs out there.
Thank you. Sorry for being lazy and not looking through all the threads, there are just so many out there and I don't always know exactly where to look. That's why I just made my own topic so I could get some user/dev advice quicker. Also, does Astro File Manager let you change folder permissions such as read/write? I.e. I'm trying to delete the virgin mobile boot animation and it wouldn't let me.
ASTRO does not permit you to change root directories as it does have root privileges.
It is best to use Root Explorer or Root Browser, or something similar.
I use Root Browser and never have any issues and it's free. You can easily change permissions, copy & paste files and folders, etc. I have never personally tried Root Explorer.
Thank you for l the replies. Thought I wouldn't hear anything back for awhile. Gonna download root browser and try that out. Got the playstation one boot logo with sound and wanna try it out but gotta get rid of the vm one first cause its really obnoxious. If anyone has cdma roms or come across any will you post them in this topic so I can try them out?
I'm running jmz's v1.5 right now, just make sure u partition your SD card for it.

Is it a sense 3.5 rom and if so could you provide the link for me so I can test it? I have a 32gb SD card with 28gb free. How much should I partition it?
I partition 512mb and about 60 swap run dalvik off sdcard using app2sd. Works great. Really smooth 2.1 rom.
P.S. kernel oc's to 806 mhz

I'm new with the app2sd and data2sd and I'm eerie about messing with it until I read more or get more feedback on it. I did read about increasing my internal storage to 150mb with data2sd and partitioning my SD card but I'm kind of scared to do it cause I'm afraid something will go wrong.

The internal storage is 150mb all the time unless u use a partition. It's very simple to do, just make sure u copy all your music, pix, etc to a computer before making the partition as this will format your card.

Its very easy. If you don't have anything worth saving on your sd card (or if you do, back it all up on the computer), go to recovery choose advanced then partition sd card. Then it will ask you the size. Choose whatever you want. I chose 1GB just to be on the safe side in case i decide to go app crazy. Then everything else is automatic.
If you want to go further and free up more of your /data partition use the apps2sd app and move dalvik-cache to SD.
What apps2sd program do I use and where can I get it?
If u r using jmz's rom it has the apps2sd GUI app preinstalled. U can use it to move dalvik cache to SD, zipalign on boot, etc, but once u make the partition and install the ROM, your apps will automatically move to your SD partition. No need to do it manually.

Make sure u have cwm 5.0.2.6 if u have a different one u could run
Into problems, also check your hboot. I'm on 1.06 and recommend the same. Also make sure u r clearing dalvik cache, formatting boot, data, system, cache, and SD ext before installing ROM. I would also create a new partition of 512, so it will be a completely clean install. If u have done everything right u will have no problems, if something wrong has happened, most likely it was an error u made and can be fixed.

If your phone is acting funny you could try superwipe by simonsimons. I did just because I was flashing so many roms and mods everyday
He has also posted original stock ruu's. I recommend jmz's rom it's been working perfectly, and I've tried the others. Most mods have flashed without issues.

I partitioned my SD card for 4gb with a 256mb swap (which I don't quite know what that means) I have a 32gb class 10 SD card and I don't even use a 1/3 of the space so I figured I'd partition using the biggest option available. I flashed jmz's rom and everything went okay. I currently have 102mb of internal free by using the link2sd method and I ended up flashing back to the stock vm Tom cause I didn't like how jmz's only had around 56mb free. Is there any way to get more than 56 or is that cause all of the stuff on the rom?
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?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
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

Hi guys i have rom manager pro i want to partition my sdcard to allow me install apps on it but i have a limit of 512MB.
the thing is i want to know all about creating the partition, the benefits and all the technical stuff like swap size and all that and how safe my apps are if i flash diffrent roms cos am quite tired of having to re-install apps every time i test a rom. also is there any way of increasing the partition size, and again is it all apps that can go there

.....rom manager and clockwork recovery aren't very good for the g2, I suggest switching to 4ext recovery and don't use rom manager if you don't know how to use the recovery
in which every recovery you use there is an option to partition sd card. 512mb is rather small unless you have a g1. usually want a ext4 partition larger than internal memory, but use what works for you
linux swap is often a bad idea unless you do a lot of multitasking with sense roms, even then I feel it isn't a performance boost in most occasions but rather it slows the phone
having your apps on your ext partition won't mean the apps reappear @ a new rom flash, it doesn't work this way. and what you said was a bit contridicing as you won't be changing roms but you want apps on sd to keep them when you do? well either way that isn't the point of a2ext
and as a side note you would have found all this info plus more with a little searching

I am using stock rom too.
There are many roms like cm9 which is ICS build and others are cm10 which are jelly bean builds..
You can find roms on android devlopement thread.
And for internal storage tweak first of all you need to partition your sdcard.
FAT32 :remaining
EXT3/EXT4 : 1 GB ll be enough
LINUX SWAP : 512 MB
linux swap partition isnt madatory except link2sd.but you hv 16 GB memory card so make that partition too.it works as backup RAM.its 512 MB because wildfire s has 512 MB RAM.
ALL PARTITIONS SHOULD BE PRIMARY AND YOU CAN MAKE THEM BY MINIPARTITIONAL TOOL ON WINDOWS.
There are many tweaks for internal memory link2sd,mounts2sd and int2ext+
Best one is int2ext+ but for that you need custom rom with init.d suppport..
Tell me if u need more help.good luck

haha.okay man dnt worry.
so for rooting.follow this tutorial:
http://www.htcwildfiresblog.com/2012/03/guide-to-rooting-htc-wildfire-s-235-s.html
in this tutorial first you need to make account from htcdev.com and then follow instructions on that page:
(IN TUTORIAL YOU FIND STEP 1,UPDATE YOUR BOOTLOADER BUT IF YOUR PHONE HAS LATEST UPDATE 2.26 ,THEN YOU DONT NEED TO UPDATE IT.YOU WILL SEE THAT INSTUCTION ON HTCDEV.COM PAGE)
then,
download rom manager from play store and install clockworkmod recovery.( its necessery to flash rom,mods etc)
and most important, after flashing custom recovery(clockworkmod) make backup of your current rom.because if you want to come back to your stock rom,it ll be helpfull.
about roms:
there are stable cm9 as well as cm10 roms.
cm9 is very stable,no major bugs except little lag on camera ( negligible) and camcorder record at 15 fps.
cm10 has some bugs but you can see jellyking rom on android devlopement page.people said its very stable.so you can use it if you want taste of jelly bean.
and there are another option like MIUI which has best UI. and sense 3.5 roms.
thats all.
i am using my stock rom because i like my sense best,stable,not a single bug and works good.
