data2whatever - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi guys maybe a stupid question, but at the moment im trying teppics stock gingerbread rom with data2whatever, is there away of gettin all of this together into a zip file to create a rom with it all in,so there would be no need to install data2whatever after the install of rom.
i spose what im asking is can i take off my phone the settings into a zip file?
this probably makes no sense and my grammar is bad!! appologies!!

IMHO data2sd is the best solution over data2w or data2ext. It was the first and is the most advanced. Perhaps look into the starburst roms by Droidzone as these are designed to work with data2sd.

rootsu do u no if i can flash droidzones data2sd that he uses in his roms on any rom?

Although I am not rootSU, I feel to answer: I am pretty sure you cannot do this. But why don't you ask droidzone himself?

thanks for your help mattdroid. i shall be fowarding question to him aswell. i have just ran it on teppics stock gingerbread works seems bit laggy tho.

The data2sd droidzone uses is sibere's.
They kind of work together on these things (although to what extent I am unsure).
I used it on Gingervillain and Defrost, although its better on sense IMHO.
Sibere's thread is here:

[Q] THE GREAT ROM DEBATE or THE QUEST FOR THE PERFECT ROM!

I have been going back and forth with roms and wondering some things myself.
I like the speed and system memory available with the A2SD of the AOSP roms (oxygen) but need my video camera so the gingerbread thing is out till they sort that out and Im finding I like the sense roms.
Anyone have any experience with the stock roms? Are there any sense stock roms with very little of the garbage apps that come with most sense roms but still have A2SD? I guess Im looking for the best of both worlds here.....
There are froyo AOSP roms so no sense and a working video recorder, you can also strip Sense roms from the stuff you don't want, just make sure it's not a critical part.
But if you want a Sense rom I suggest you use Leedroid with A2SD and don't worry about space or removing sense apps.
Leedroid is my 1st rom, then i tried defrost, open desire, gingervillain, Oxygen, they all give me bugs, as for other sense rom, i've tried AuraTSense & Modaco, not tat perfect for me, as for Sense HD rom, don't try it, they're not mend for Desire... lastly i go back to Leedroid, now it's 23d already, and it's smooth, bug free... i just hope tat i know how to take out those stuff that i don't need inside... I really wanted to have a smooth non sense rom, but non of them is better than leedroid...

I use Baadnewz' HD rom it's pretty fast and stable (as fast and stable as leedroid's in fact) and you get the sense 2.0 goodness too. I was on Leedroid for a long time but wouldn't go back to old sense anymore.
thx for the info, i think i'm gonna give it a try...
hmmmm
I'm running Leedroid right now and start up is quite laggy and my phone is not very responsive. I just s-offed my phone so I'll see what I can do with it now.
I tried Baadnewz but can't remember why I didnt like it. lol
The HD roms seem to give me bugs.
I have been debating making my own rom, a sort of Frankenstein rom, with bits and pieces of all the things I like from other roms. The main problem I'm having is finding a tutorial on making roms. I have searched but found nothing...

i prefer the hd roms also , had no problems with them.

I get lags if I don't do a full wipe or use titanium backup to restore old system settings with any rom. Once you are on a certain rom you can usually just upgrade without a full wipe.
Tried Baadnewz' HD rom, not that responsive... sometimes need press 2-3 times to screen on... going back to leedroid... ><

To take out the unnecessary stuff search LeeDroid's minisite - there is a great tutorial, how to remove stuff you don't need.
Also you can delete the not needed .apks from the .zip file on your PC and after that you can flash it.
Also tried a few ROMs (including gingervillain, Oxygen), but using LD, cause it is the best for me.

I deleted 2 apps (cifsManager & DefaultclearHome) and it was working without any problems so far.
I don't know about other .apks, but in that case i recommend the tutorial shown here:
http://leedroid.protogenlabs.com/wiki/guidelines-for-safe-removal-of-included-apps-apks
However, there is written, than you can just simply delete from the .zip file.
Do we have a poll /or can we have one for best ROM available for Desire ? .
Just wanted to know whats the most used ROM on the forum .

[Q] Which ROM?

Hi all, I have HTC desire and I am constantly running out of internal memory I am going to root the phone to solve this. I am a complete noob to this so which custom ROM would be easy to install and stable out of the following Cyanogenmod7, LeeDroid 3.0.5 or MIUI ROM, Thanks
Id try the cyanogenmod or miui.
Cyanogenmod 7 or Gingervillain plus CMHBOOT(from alpharev.nl) can solve your problem I think
Thanks for replies jroc716 & plohoi. I will have closer lock at the ROMS ye have recommended
all these rom's r running fast and stable. internal-memory problems had gone by integrating ext-partition(s). so which rom u take is just a matter of ur personal favors.
I have had look at the ROMS suggested in this tread and I am going to flash MIUI Rom by xavierjohn22 but not sure which version is most stable. Should I flash the froyo version (2.2) or 2.3.4 gingerbread (latest version) or 2.3 gingerbread. . I be grateful for any help on this, thanks
1st of all you better obtain an SD Card at least Class4 then follow the guide with the link I will give below. This will help you move your applications to SD and have more space.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084
And as a ROM Choice, better use InsertCoin
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016940
Thanks alpivelopx for the reply. Ya I have class 4 SD card and I have carefully studied the noob proof guide just can’t make up my mind on which rom to flash.
I likr the look of MIUI have any experience using this rom? Which version is most stable?
I have had a look at InsertCoin and having the new Sense would be cool.
I use google maps a lot and assume this bug “compass doesn't always point north” will be a problem. Is there a stable Froyo version?

At first: One cannot say, which is the best rom. It's a personal feeling. You should read the posts where the authors describe there themes and then you should decide. If you cannot, just try one. If you like it, stay with it.
I think you should install the latest version of MIUI. It's usually the most stable version.
I cannot find a (stable) Froyo version of Insertcoin. Maybe ask the author (baadnewz) if he can upload it for you.
Thanks Matdroid, I think your right. I'll try a few roms and decide which is best for me.
I can recommend Leedroid 2.4.1.
A very good and stable Sense rom with A2SD+!
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Like others have said... it's more of a personal opinion with ROMs as to their speed and usefulness but if you can get by with the compass issue until it gets resolved (hopefully shouldn't be too long as devs are working like crazy at porting sense 2.1/3.0 to desire) I warmly recommend InsertCoin.
The chef is pushing updates like there's no tomorrow an also makes time to answer people's questions (how he manages it I don't know...) and also you have all the info you need in the first 2 post of the thread.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016940
PS: regarding speed, keep in mind that benchmark apps (Quadrant) don't tell the full tale. Try the ROMs for yourself.
I second leedroid 2.4.1..... fast and stable with a2sd+. I wouldn't bother with gingerbread yet still a bit buggy
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
+1 on leedroid 2.4.1
My first not-htc-rom was leedroid v.3.0.5. It was nice. But since a while i use redux v1.2. I like it much more than leedroid, although you have to readjust a little to use a non-sense-rom.
The best froyo sense rom is the InsertCoinHD 2.0.1 Data2Ext.
The best gingerbread rom is InsertCoin v25 CM7.
Keep in mind that Cynogenmod and Miui don't include Htc Sense on it.
I've been using on Leedroid (froyo) for sometime and it was great and stable.
I'm running now Insertcoin v25 (gingerbread) and it's also great. I got 2 issues that I can live with - the compass issue (not pointing north) and the camera makes my phone boot itself sometimes. but other than that it's great.
Both roms have a2sd+, and if you want something stable than I recommend Leedroid 2.4.1. After some time you can get gingerbread roms based on the official release from htc (something like mid-june or a bit later)
Hi
Hmm running out of internal Space *gg*
I Recommend you use InsertCoin, or an ROM Which fits on CM Hboot, Here is the System Partition smaller, difference space is added to userdata, so "more internal" Memory for you.
Pls. Think if you change your SD Card, or crash of it, your OS Cant booting because 1/3 of our System is stored on it. (sdext)
S-Off required.
If you don´t want to manipulate hboot (afraid of crashing bootloader), use any App2SD Rom.
I have many Problems with DATA2SD and DATA2Whatever Scripts.
App2SD is very good.
*I User Insertcoin GS_V26* and i´m happy with it.
Baadnewz is providing these Rom with STock or CM Hboot.
Just Look at a few Roms, (Download 2-3 Roms and test it) an fix install it, which you mostly like. ))
Sorry for my bad english, i´m from austria *hmp*

@MindVision1Thanks for the reply. I am right in saying the Hboot resizes the internal memory to allocate different amount of space to the system. You can get different hboot's from http://alpharev.nl/ so I am right in saying the cm hboot you recommend is the Bravo CM7 on alpharev site.
So If I go with the CM Hboot I have to get a custom rom that fits the 130MB system memory and will also have 300MB free for apps on the internal memory.
If some of the rom is on the sd card and I remove it or it gets damaged I will have a major problem?
How do you know what size a ROM is?
My desire is stock with no branding

Rom with APP2SD

Hi,
Is there any sense roms out there that don't require a partitioned sd card... ala CM7... that just all you to use the froyo app2sd functionality?
If so, which is the best and easiest to install.

Check the list of roms.

looking for a rom

i have a us cell htc desire 2.2 cdma hboot 1.06
gonna use revolutionary to do it.
could someone recommend a decent user friendly rom for a noob
First ROMs I used were the LeeDroid Froyo versions. Very straight forward and easy to use.
Most here would recommend the CyanogenMod ROMs, or Oxygen. MIUI is popular, but I read just as many bad things as good with that one. Of the GingerSense ROMs, you can't go past RCMix, InsertCoin or LeeDroid. There are also CrystalPyramid and CoolSensation, but I would consider those a little more advanced than the others listed.
In all honesty, most ROMs are pretty easy to use. Some require a little more setting up of partitions or the like, but there's not alot to be scared of.
Good luck!!
this there any roms that i can just flash and go?
is there a certain CyanogenMod ROM you could recommend?
i dont know how to do partitions on my sd. just want the easiest thing yo flash, i wouldn't mind a rom with ginerbeard..

you can use gparted, or minitool partition (I used it and it's simple as..)
after a lot of testing im now on latest leedroid. Stable and fast, any issues.
U should give it a try! Install with full cache, davlic, data wipe - and it will work without any probs
from what i found on google this afternoon theres not many roms that work with htc desire (bravoC)?
will this work?

what does this mean?"You must have an ext 2/3/4 partition on ur SD-Card (512MB - 1GB recommended)"
SGBS is for GSM Desire only ... sorry
That means that you MUSt have an second partition on your SD-Card, because some system files are there and A2SD+ needs the scond one.
damn is there one like that but for cdma ?
this there a rom like the one i posted the link for but cdma instead?

[Q] Sense ROM for my noobish father

So time has come to switch my good ol' Desire for the One.. It's still in great shape though so I will give it to my father, who has never had a smartphone before. My mother has had a Desire for a while now too, so I'd like to pass the responsibility of teaching him how to operate on it to her.
As such, I need a Sense rom that is as close to stock Froyo as possible, very stable and with a good battery life(which will seem short anyway for a smartphone-newbie. I've tried MIUI and MW's Oxygen roms in the past and while I was very happy with those, I need a Sense one for this and I haven't tried any of them to be honest so I have to ask.. Which do you consider to be the most stable, fast, good battery Sense rom available?
So far I considered downgrading but thought it's too much of a hassle for nothing since there are a variety of Froyo ROMs but I have no idea which are the best in time.
It doesn't have to be the newest, as I said even an older Sense version is alright since I want it to look as close to Froyo as possible. Space isn't much of a concern either but since I can't take my card to the new phone a2sd is welcomed. And one last thing, though I don't know how feasible, if any of them have additional language support, Romanian in this case, that'd be swell.
Go to development section and theres a thread at the top for a rom called CoolSense, thats prob the best oldish sense rom there is. U will need to partition ur sdcard tho if u want a2sd, theres a guide in my sig.

I already have my card partitioned since I used a2sd/d2ext as well in the past. I assume you're talking about CoolDroid v3 being based on CoolSense? Or the older CoolSense 2.1, since CD seems rather new and bloated(for my needs) with GB/ICS themes etc.
