Stable Stock ROM with App2SD/Data2SD

Hi,
I want to know if it is possible to have App2SD/Data2SD on a standard Stock ROM with Sense, if not...Could someone tell me what is the closets most stable Stock ROM available.
I have come across Starburst and Cool DesireS (which is not stable with major bugs) and more that I forgot the names of.
Thank you!

Find Teppics one, its basically stock and you add what you want to it. Rock solid by all accounts

Thanks for you reply Eddy. I would like to ask if you could help me one more time and tell me the steps to flash this rom.
Rom:
2.29.405.5 ROM
Updates:
A2SD+
What I have now:
Code:
Android 2.2
Baseband: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Kernal: 2.6.32.15
Build: 2.29.405.2
And is it really necessary to install the Radio supplied? After this I should be able to restore apps using Titanium.
Many Thanks

I couldn't agree more, seeing more than 15MB with the Low Storage notification far fetched for my phone would just make my day.
I have standard 4GB card that comes with the desire, and if I decide to go with StarBurst, I'm not sure what 'ext' to pick.

Please someone help me flash 'Teppics ROM' and guide me on what ext for my card I should use, I need to do this quickly. Thanks!

For data2SD ext4 is recommend. Download gparted and use that to do partition. Your 4gb card will be fine am sure its a class 4 just do a ext 1gb partition, am guessing you already rooted your phone if so once you have done the partitioning download the ROM and put it onto the root of your SD card and then boot into recovery.

If you do go with starburst this is the main site it has lots of information about installing.

Thank you for assisting me. I think I will try Teppic's ROM and I may consider StarBurst soon after.

Does this guide also apply to other roms such as Teppic's? And What 'ext' would recommend for this ROM?
Many Thanks.

I have agreed to try this ROM as you have convinced me from your first post and by having read what Teppic's ROM has to offer.
My question was: What ext and partition is best suited for my card?
Thanks!

I use a 1GB EXT3 partition and it works fine

Your better of downloading Gparted and burn to disk, then boot from it.
download it from here
http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
Here video showing how to use it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9d7qhBpCJQc
Because Android is linux its ment to be better to use a linux partitioning software like Gparted, so I have read I had no problems using this. Where on my first time doing this I used a windows app and had lots of problems.

Thanks for this, I will ensure I use this next time (if I forget). I had managed to partition the SD Card on my own using GParted nethertheless.
Again, Thank you!

I use the RCMixHD v.3.6.1 D2EXT
no problems until yet.

Non ext partition roms

Is there any desire roms out there that doesnt require a ext partition these days?
I just want a custom rom without the need to always use that one sd card to boot and im not really much of an app user anyway.

a lot of the apps2sd roms will go on without an ext partition - but you'll just have limited space, usually about 73-130mb of the internal storage...

Looking in the android development thread it seems that most of them listed ext partiton as a requirement due to parts of system files are also in the ext partition required to boot.

Check with the dev of the roms for apps2sd ones that you might like... I am sure I saw an 'apps2sd killer' script too once so you might be able to apply that

the 2.1 ROMS usually goes well whitout the app2sd but its highly recommended

try CM7

Just delete the ext partition and the rom such as miui for example will detect that there is no extra partion an so will disable the a2sd scrript

If you do go down the road of partitioning as you put it
Save yourself some future hassle and purchase a class 10 memory card and read about changing your recovery program to 4Ext Recovery 2.1.0.

likely it depends on if you have already partitioned your sd. And edwin, any way we could get the link to the original post?

If u haven't try it, it move everything and lets u install many apps and the done does slow down at all from what I see in my phone. The developer has update the mod since Oct so its still alpha but it really does work! Whoever can talk to Simmons, ask him if he can combine this to the rom or improve it if he like thank you

It creates ext 3 partition. From what I saw after I flashed it.
Sent from my Marvelc using XDA

I think ppl who have no idea what something does shouldnt be allowed to repost it. This is the a2sd darktremmor script i havent looked at it but it esentialy it says to your phone that your ext partitition on sd card is part of the internal memory. If the script incloudes automaticly creating of ext3 partition that means 2 things-you wont need to partition your card yourself, you will lose all your sd card data as partititioning requiers formating sd. And kido this is not skype or IRC or whatever its forum, organize your toughts and put them in 1 post. It is nice that you are trying to do something good but in this case i think you are better of doing nothing as you might cost someone his sd card data.
Edit: Ok from what i gather it will not create ext3 partitition. However if you have ext4 it will reformat it to ext3. I might be wrong im no exper and i just took a quick look at the script.
else
Code:
echo " ERROR : No second Partition on microSD found: the ROM will most likely not work or only use app2sd";
fi;

I appreciate ur opinion but I know the developer and I know what this mod does but I understand what u are saying but if I know something works , I'm going to share it and it safe. It doesnt erase anything on ur SD card because I use it many of times.

I had ext4 prior to flashing this and I haven't had any problem's. I have a lot of space now

Ext of SD card

Do you have to ext your SD card in order to put apps on to it? I don't really want to partition my SD card tho!!
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app

most custom roms require an ext partition to work, read the first post requirements for each rom, I'm assuming you're already rooted?
i don't know why you don't want to partition your sd card though...it's not very difficult. use gparted or 4ext recovery only (NOT minitool partition wizard, rom manager or clockworkmod recovery). search for guides.
you may need to flash a different script to move apps to sd-ext, but again this depends on the rom as many have it built in.

No I would if I had a bigger SD card coz I only have a 2gb one and my parents refuse to buy me a 32gb one so yea......

oh didn't realise the situation. how about 4, 8 or 16gb as compromise? i'm holding off a 32gb myself until they become much cheaper.
or try dgb rom as i think it's designed on purpose without an ext partition. you would need to be s-off with custom hboot to make the most of it.

Yes maybe and I am already running a ROM which is alright for the moment but I really want runny ROM but obviously that needs an ext. I am running hiapk sensefun ROM by djroobs which I am happy with at the moment. I will probably wait until they become cheaper as well
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app

Yh ul need a bigger sdcard for runny rom, it needs 1gb ext 4 partition on ur sdcard and the rom itself from what i remember is 500mb (its huge)
Like eddie says, Even if u try get ur parents to buy ya a 4gb sdcard, they cheap enough and 4gb is plenty if u ask me
Sent from my HTC Desire

Thanks guys I will give it a crack or just try and buy it myself. Thing is tho atleast 500 mb of my SD is music and that's not all of the music I want LOL

Yep, I ran Oxygen for a long time with a small 2 gb card and it worked just fine. To be fair 4, 8 are now dead cheap and it will allow you to run the heavier roms that need 1gb ext.

Because they don't make working partitions. Compatibility issues, i think.

go here: http://4ext.net/ and download the apk
install it on your phone, and open the app to install the recovery
this will overwrite you current recovery which is fine.
Then go here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2125513
Read part 4 of that guide.
Once you are done making the partition, boot into your rom. Open terminal emulator and run these commands (press enter after each line)

You'll have problems later, you'll see.
You know, we aren't telling you to do something just because we're nuts. CWM recovery does bad partitions, that may damage the sd-card, and make the phone work slow.

lol i agree. When i first had to make a sd-ext partition i used cwm and it messed up my sd card. I had to reformat.
Also avoid minitool partition wizard, that messed my card up too

Done everything as in abaaaabbbb63 tutorial, made 1gb partition and now i got 113mb free on phone memory, is this right?

However, again and again guys, thank u, it works really good now!

yes if you go to settings>storage it wont display the free space on the sd-ext partition.
If you want to see that download titanium backup, and it will show you how much is left on sd-ext
