Develop Bugs

[Q] Which ROM is the best for me? See in topic.

I would like to root my phone, but I wanna first choose a ROM that I want to take. But I don't know which one, here are my requirements:
- New Sense ( I thought from HTC HD )
- App2SD
- Stable ( without any freezes! )
- Using setcpu set the ( when screen off ) in battery save option.
- No more ext partitions ( I've created one using a guide with 512 MB and 0MB swap, I don't know what ext partiton it is. )
- a working www.htcsense.com
- Less bugs!
- Not overclocked.
Does anybody know a ROM with this?

Fast, stable, designed for using, not for benchmarking
Fits all the points you mentioned.

Seriously, in development? Wrong board mate.

If I install this one, how much free space will I have in internal memory? FOUND ALREADY 133 MB ( is this alright? )
How do look the notification area?
( image please )
Will the apps which I install be automatical set to SD card?

You have the thread to InsertCoinHD 1.9.5 Here!
There you will also find dome screenshots! If you want a power widget you can flash that after you have flashed this rom, and also cook the notification icons, power widget to whatever at UOT
You need to have a ext partition (and you said you have 512 MB), and then the apps will be on the SD automatically
This is the rom I am using right now, and it works perfect!

Ok, but how looks the notifications area? I can't find a picture of that part.

It looks like this.

I was to slow, but now you can see how you can modify the battery and power widget!

Ok, that look cool! One last question: is the battery life improved? And how many internal free space do you have with this Rom with 1 ext partition? ( 512 MB)

Battery life is good, depends on kernel, radio, usage.
I can get 30+ hours out of the phone with medium usage. Up to three days, when it's lightly used.
I have 1Gb EXT4 partiton, and currently 623 MB is free.

And what will it be with a normal ext partition with 512 MB?

Normal EXT partiton? EXT4 is normal, too You mean EXT3 then. Depends on what you install. ROM should be taking up a few megabytes for apps and 35-40MB dor the Dalvik-Cache after install.

I thought it was a ext2 partition...

Ext2 is not really supported by those A2SD+ scripts. 3/4 recommended.

Ok, still one question. When I make a nandroid backup, will then be all my settings, apps and everything will be backed up? And too my stock ROM? So when I'll flash insertcoin and want to go back restore with nandroid is enough to go back to stock ROM? With my settings, apps and everything?

Nandroid backs up everything, yes.

So then i don't need to backup everything using titanium backup?

If you don't want to restore them in your ROM you want to flash then no.
Nandroid writes the whole ROM into images.
TI Backup only the apps and settings - so you can restore them in other ROMs.

[Q] After cfw install internal storage only 20mb

Hello.
I installed a cfw with data++ and also a2sd. I did partition ext 3 on my sd card with cwm.
But I have a problem. After the istallation there are only 20 mb internal storage free. And it writes that there are only 176 mb internal storage.
Shouldn't that be more?
What make I a wrong.
My desire is rooted.
Please help me.
Thanks

What is a cfw?
Sent from dGB using Transparent XDA App

cfw= custom firmware.
I installed RCMix S V2.0 HBOOT CM7 DATA++ and also tried LeeDrOiD_HD_V3.3.3_GB-Port-R5-Data. And its always the same after install about 20 mb free internall storage

as you are rooted... did you get s-off? because you flashing cm7 and data++ version

yes. I have rooted and s-off. And the installed cfw runs, onlay the storage is to less.

what hboot you running?

sorry I've the handy not here, is from my daughter. But I remember something with alpha.
I will see tomorow.

it is from alpharev but important is what is after

ok. i will look. but what have this to do with the storage?

those are partition layout on the phone
you can move empty space from system to data etc...
stock you have 250mb system 40mb cache and 147mb data
cm7 130mb system 5mb cache and 302mb data
when is system not big or you use symlink system apps from sd-ext to system then you can use more space on data

thanks. and can i set this in the alpharev hboot?

You can set it up by flashing chosen hboot which is required for specific Rom... When you give me info I need i will take you through

Hello.
Here the infos about alpharev.

For what art of cfw is this hboot? Alternatively wich rom can I install with that hboot that I have more storage free and a2sd or data++ funct?
On the microsd is a 4
Thanks

What is written just after Alpharev?
you can try droidzone rom or alex-v in development section... as you have a microsd card class 4 you need to check developer instructions... or you can have try with sebastian 15 Runnymede AIO running from cm7/r2 with amarullz script, which mounts sd ext to data partition...
To tell exactly what rom you can choose is the best is really hard job as everybody has a different taste and requirements... If you like AOSP roms (pure android) you can have look on dGB of ROOTSU...

Thanks. Is it easy to use runnymede rom?
After Alpharev is nothing written.
Here the screenshoot

that looks stock hboot for me... for that reason you had minimum space...
are you sure you did not flash any hboot?
Runny sense 3.5 is eye candy, it is easy...

Should I try to install this version of alpharev : Bravo CM7 r2 and than as rom runnymede.
Must the sd card be empty when i copy the PB99IMG.zip on it or doesn't it matter when there is a partition with ext and on the fat partition music and pictures on it, and the others zip files from runny and ad2sdx?

yes you can try Runnymede....
doesn't need to be empty...
but follow all instruction from sebastian...
btw better to install 4ext touch recovery from here

ok. so I have to install 4extrecovery with the old rom.
Than I copy PB99IMG.zip runnymederom and ad2sdx on my sd card
At first I start the hboot modus and the alpharev will automaticly change?
Than I start the recovermodus and do the instructions from sebastion. Than i install the ad2sd+ and reboot, and ready. Or? Have I a fault in my thinking?

Ext Partition isnt used

Hey,
I am using insertcoin on my desire and have a 1gb Ext Partition.
Titanium Backup says the half of it is used but my phone says my phone space is full.
Why? How can i make the Ext Partition use?
Metin

The fact that you got Insertcoin installed proves that you have a working EXT partition. Now if you are using the CM7r2 version of the ROM, be advised that the dalvik cache was not moved to the ext partition for speed considerations. That's probably the part that is full on your phone. I use FreeSpace app on the market to view every partition. It's better than the one built inside Titanium Backup imo.

No i am using a2sd and want the apps to be installed to the Ext partition.
Ive tried link2sd but this makes some apps like opera unstartable

They should be installed to the ext part out of the box. Although it's been a long time I cant remember if I'm right. And yeah using another app could just mess the script baadnews implemented for the rom.

And what i have to do?

What partition type do you have? Ext3 or Ext4? I remember using EXT4 with Insertcoin.

I use Ext4

I run the CM7r2 version of InsertCoin. Your apps are automatically installed on the EXT4 partition BUT not all the app is stored there so some of the internal memory is still used when you install an app.
How many apps have you installed?

I have 60 apps or so, but i see the apps folder is linked to Ext. My data/data folder is about 60mb, would it help to move it to Ext? But where are the other 60mb used on Internal? Which folder would best to move?
How i move it?

I believe moving anything will cause problems.

Are there any suggestions? I have a 1gb Ext Partition but i can only use half of it?

I ran this on Sandvold's ICS with a class 4 SDcard. This has a flashanle zip. But as you can see in the thread you have to manually install it. I tried the ICS zip with a fresh InsertCoin flash and it falied. I have not attempted to install it manually yet as I have been focused on installing and learning to live with s Linux OS...
Try this.
Edit
I meant to say the download from sandvold's site for the ICS ROM is a flashable zip. It appears that you need to manually install it for other ROMs.

I think the libs of apps like opera are very big.
I think it would help if i link them to the system partition.
Link2sd link them to SD but would it be possible to link them to system?

Read this...
http://docs.insertcoin-roms.org/master/en-US/misc/free-space-without-data2ext.html
I remember someone made a little script based on this to make it easy. There was a thread about it.

I ve read that moving data to Ext isnt good because it damals the SD but can i do it same way to system Partition?

Probably not. From what I understand, when the phone boots it reads the system partition first before it reads the SD card. If you link system to sd-ext, I believe the phone will not boot at all as the system files cannot be accessed during the initial startup since they are on sd. I'm not an expert but I haven't heard of anyone moving system to ext.
If you are really after more storage than the Sense hybrid, check the Supernova ROM. It's the official GB rom from HTC with a lot of space for apps. Downside is it's the old Sense.

I mean a symbolic /data/data/*/lib=>system (or may to SD, but system would better) because the libs are big.
I have tried link2sd for it but a2sd deleted all libs from SD.

Insufficient storage Link2SD error?

I'm not sure what the problem is here. I'm running CM9A6 via the RobotoMod 1.0.2 ROM, and I couldn't get the default S2E to work at all. I installed link2SD as a workaround, and while I know it has it's limitations, I can't determine why it won't link an app.
I downloaded Where's my Perry? for my kids, and due to it's size (50+ MB), I wanted to get it out of my internal storage. It isn't working, though - link2SD is throwing an error saying there's "insufficient storage". I'll let the screenshots speak for themselves:

Perry?free is already on the SDCard. You are trying to install it to internal memory and then getting Link2SD to link it back to the SDCard. As you only have 51.18MB free on your internal storage and Perry?free is 52.73MB it won't work. Leave it where it is.

Hi,
For CM9, use Ext4 on 2nd partition on SDcard. Do you have it?.
Link2sd was working fine with me when I had CM9Alpha7. Try only with Link2sd(don't have multiple SDcard apps).
Select 'Autolink' on Link2sd settings. If you do right, all apps will be installed on SD card.

2nd part is formatted Ext2. It works fine other than this one program, and I have it configured to install to SD.
I'll try linking just the dalvik-cache and library, and see if that works, leaving the app on the SD card.

If you bothered to look at the images provided by the OP, you will see that Link2SD is working fine. Changing the partition to Ext4 will not magically create more internal space.

See tats the problem wit link2sd. I used it for a long time after using data2sd. Now I'm back to daya2sd. It may boot slower but it gives u happiness.

[Q] How to get MORE free space in Internal after Link2SD?

hi all,
hopefully this won't be too much of a noobie thread, but I've done a fair bit of reading and cannot seem to find what I'm looking for...
I've rooted the Wildfire S and installed CM10.1 as below..

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
I used Link2SD to move my user apps to the SD card 2nd partition, however the phone is still moaning that the internal memory is low
looking in /data I can see that there are 3 main culprits..
/dalvik-cache (63MB) - this contains the .dex files for the system apps (and linked .dex files for the user apps)
/data (34MB) - seems to be user app data?
/app (7MB) - contains the files for Link2SD and Titanium Backup, which I have running on Internal.
so I guess I have the following questions:
a) is it possible (or advisable) to link the system .dex files in /dalvik-cache to the SD card? maybe there are some that are less risky?
b) can I move/link the user apps data somewhere else?
c) any other advice?
thanks in advance guys & gals.

There's an option to create a link for apk, dalvik cache and lib file. Just tick all of them and u will get more space.
M also using it same have enough space.

thanks, but I have already linked all 3 for my user apps.

May be u should then factory restore, again install all application. Last time m having something similar problem, even after linking I got very less space. But now with same apps installed have 40 mb space still left.
Have a nandroid backup, try once factory restore. If didn't worked u have the option to use ur backup.

Even though Link2SD provides an alternative way to install more apps on our device, it still has it's limits.........Installing too many apps will cause problems no matter how much the 2nd partition is free,plus CM10.1 gives us so less space in /data that we have less space to start with.
You can try to wipe once to see if some file is taking unnecessary space, or try an INT2EXT script for more flexibility.............but it might hinder a bit with performance
