[Q] Need help changing ROM

Hello !
I had my Desire 1 month ago but I was in vacation so I couldn't download any soft to root my phone.today, I rooted my HTC and installed ClockWork Recovery with Unrevoked , this was simple. Now I want to install a custom ROM : LeeDrOiD HD (I'll update to have Sense 3.0)
But, I see two versions : Data++ and A2SD++, What do they mean ? I kown I have to do a EXT3 1 Gb Partition on my microSD. Can I do it with my Ubuntu Linux or I have to do it with GParted Live CD ?
Thanks in advance !!!

Data++ is a technique that was first implemented and tested by ClassicalDude. Using a re-laid out nand MTD, only the davlik-cache is retained in the internal memory. All .apk's are moved to the SD-EXT partition, where they are rarely accessed. This means a HD RoM can be fit in 180MB, leaving a lot of room for userdata which will remain in the internal memory. This results in a lightning fast ROM which stays fast through with no lag whatsoever during market downloads etc. Add to this the cool fix from coolexe and baadnewz that creates a dynamically resizable ram-disk for market downloads: and you have a great RoM that doesn't need to waste space for cache and will never have a market download fail!]/quote]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992176

A2SD+ is a script which moves all apps you install automatically to an ext partition on your sd card. You must not do anyhting. If you use "move to sd card" in application settings, the app will be moved to fat32 partition of sd card. Android can only difference between apps in " internal memoory" and in "fat32 partition of sd card". Furthermore, with A2SD+ the dalvik-cache will be also moved to the sd ext partition on your sd card (which does not happen, if the rom is only using a2sd).
To sum it up, a2sd+ moves only apps and dalvik-cache to an ext partition on your sdcard, whereas data++ also moves some system apps to it. That's the reason why roms with data++ works with less space for internal system partition.
You can use Ubuntu to partition your sd card. If gparted is not included (I do not remember, installed ubuntu some time ago), you can download it from ubuntu software center (search for "gnome partition editor").

What do you think I should choose ?

I cannot say it, I did not employ with the advantages of each script. Compare both advantages and disadvantages, and then pick.

Last question ^^,
I made a GoldCard to install the official Froyo months ago, now I want to change my microSd to a 8Go one, do I have to make it GoldCard (to install a Custom ROM) ?

No. The goldcard has nothing to do with the rom. It's only connected to sd card. You can stay with the one you have.

Thanks a lot man !!

cm7 and cm7r2 hboot rom won't boot

Hi i am using my desire fir nearly 2 yrs and have flash many roms with all hboot. Now when i'm trying to flash a rom with either cm7 or cm7r2 hboot , the phone won't boot. I have fllow the instruction on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192984 but still the same. can anyone help me to sort it out.
Thanks in advance

What hboot you have now and what is the rom in question?
SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using XDA App.

I have the same problem..
I'm trying to use sebastian15's Runnymede 4.8 ROM.
Any ideas?
I flashed the CM7r2 hboot, wiped data, cache, dalvik, rebooted to recovery, flashed ROM, rebooted, now I'm stuck at HTC splash screen.

I guess you should partition your SD card: the most common is 1gb ext, rest is fat.

I already did that using gparted. 1gb ext4 and rest fat32

Set both partitions primary? Created first FAT and then EXT partition?
SwiftKeyed from dGB with Transparent XDA App

ya both are Set primary partitions . I have created the fat partition first and then ext 4.

Same here guys,
CM7r2, 1GB EXT4, 7GBFAT32. Used Aurora 0.41, decided to change to insertacoin as aurora wasn't very stable and looked like partition wasn't working correctly. Pus, EXT4 partition is gone aswell
My sd card isnt readable on Recovery either (recognisable on pc though).
I've tried fastboot oem enable qxdm 0 - Still nothing. Card gives "unable to mount" message. Been at this for 8 hours now....
BUT, when i insert different sd card - seems fine...

OHHHHHH,
Finally looks like i'm all working.
I had to use my spare sd card to load Oxygen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971904
This enabled me to reformat my sd card (that was unrecognisable previously) on my phone - after rebooting the phone twice to recognise the card ( mounting and dismounting).
Card is now back to full capacity of 8GB. I've applied EXT4 1GB again, loaded Insertcoin and it's all GOOD!!!!
In terms of faulty EXT4 - performing fastboot oem enable qxdm 0 seemed to erase all the partitions and bring the card to factory state.
Hope some of you will find it useful.
Good luck to yall and MASSIVE thanks to those posting advice on this forum!!!

The case of vidrom is not the same as mine. see the first post it state clearly that i can't flash rom with cm7 or cm7r2 hboot. nothing to do with card can't recognise. I'm still searching for a solution.

Hey rajesh1108,
Have you tried flashing with Android Flasher ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794638
I found it to be the easiest way to getting around flashing.
I was once stuck with at boot load and basically redid everything from the beginning using a different guide. Try following this:

Sorry i cant be specific - i'm quite new to all this.
GOOD LUCK!

What rom are you trying to flash?
@vidrom:
Excuse me, but how should your post help the OP?

I solved my problem! Updated my recovery to a new version of Clockwork using ROM Manager.

i'm trying to flash runnymede 4.8.
Yorba which version of recovery are u using. how did u proceed. updated recovery and then flash hboot(cm7r2) and then flash your rom?

I would flash Hboot, recovery and then rom. Are you sure you wiped everything? Created an ext4 partition with at least 512 MB?

ya i have flash the same way you have mention and my ext 4 is 1gb

[Q] Available Internal memory

Hi
I have a question regarding the available internal memory for installing new apps.
One of the main reasons i rooted my desre was to gain additional space to avoid the constant low memory space warnings.
So from my understanding, the additional space is achieved in 2 ways. Firstly using a custom hboot which gives more space to data/apps than the standard stock hboot. I've updated to alpharev cmr2 which should give me 287 internal mem.
Secondly with the use of apps2sd+ more apps should be moveable to the sd card.
So far I have flashed a miui rom and now I've got the cooleve runnymede v5 rom.
When i was using the miui rom - internal space appeared to be showing approx 400mb available. When I have flashed the coolexe rom internal space available appears as approx 120mb.
Why is there a difference between the 2?
What I want is sense 3.5 rom which will give me approx 1gig memory to install apps to without worying about space. is this possible or have all recent efforts gone to waste and I'm back at square one???
Thanks
manny

Wipe the phone and then re-install the ROM but before rebooting it flash amarullz ADSDX script then reboot. Should get 1gb but it will take 10-20 mins on first boot so wait!

Whats the difference between using x2sdx and apps2sd?
Is one better than the other or do they both do different things? And are all roms compatible with this?
Thanks

Same issue
Hi,
I have rooted my desire for the same reason as mannysroot - low memory!
I have rooted with unRevoked and installed CM7. I got some more freed up internal memory as the stock HTC apps were gone. However, after installing a few apps, I again got the low memory issue!
My Titanium Backup shows:
System ROM: 262 MB (122 MB free)
Internal: 154 MB (15.8 MB free)
My queries:
1. Now, while my internal still remains a measly 154mb, I have got free space on the system rom! Can I use this for my apps?
2. Do I need to install the app2sd scripts mentioned above? Cos I already can move most of the apps to the sd card. Of course, some apps refuse to move.
Just to complete, my device info:
HTC Desire GSM
CM7 - through - Unrevoked & ClockworkMod Recovery)
S - ON.
I have searched on xda forums and a whole host of others. Sorry if I'm being a noob.
Thanks in advance (for reading at least)

Zanyguy - from my understanding, firstly you need to S-off which gives you access to write to a part of the memory which is currently locked. Once you have achieved s-off you will have access to this area. To do it - i used the revolutionary tool.
Once you've done that, you can update your hboot. Again from my understanding, updating the hboot will update the layout of internal memory. I updated to CMr2 hboot (downloaded from alpharev.nl website). What this gives in theory is 287 internal mem. The area used for storing the rom will now be a lot smaller, which will mean your stock rom ownt work. So you will need to flash a custom rom which will fit - look for the cool 3d runnymede v5 which I am currently using.
Once you've done all of that you will probably get to the same stage I'm at - whilst you've gained more memory, its not as much as expected.
You will also need to partition your sd card to have an ext4 partition. i used gparted tool for this. I allocated, 1gig for the ext4 partition, thinking that I will have 1gig to use for apps etc. However, so far this hasnt been the case, but having an ext4 partition appears to be a requirement for a number of roms.
Thanks
Manny

XD2SDX makes your ext4 partition look like internal memory, e.g 1gb ext4 will look like 1gb internal memory!
It's only for certain ROM's. It works fine in coolexe's sense 3D 3.5.
Here's the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18911182&postcount=1784
Steps:
Change your HBOOT to CM7r2 using the bootloader
Wipe all of your system using your recovery
Flash the coolsense 3.5
Flash Amarullz XD2SDX script
reboot
Wait 15-20 mins when the HTC screen appears
And follow the setup
And you're done!

I suspect you're using the stock HBOOT.
You need a 1gb ext4 partition on your memory card using GParted
Flash CM7 again
You'll need Darktremors apps2sd script
Follow the instructions:
http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=158809660835039
Flash the downloaded file straightafter flashing CM7
You'll now have loads of space for your apps!

I followed the steps above, but I'm not sure it worked. After I installed the Darktremors script, my phone hung on the HTC boot screen. After awhile, I pulled the battery and it rebooted fine. However, I'm only showing 100 mb free. I ran Quick System Info and it appears my ext4 partition is working fine. Are there any settings I need to change? I have a Desire CDMA, does that matter?

By the sounds of it there isnt much point/advantage to apps2sd+???

I tried a newer version of the Darktremor script and the phone rebooted fine. However, I'm still at less than 100 mb free. What can I try next?

To a certain point there is. The darktremors app2sd script allows the apps to be installed on the ext partition and therefore allows you to install more apps!
Although XD2SDX is now my favourite script but you need the cm7r2 partition to use it. As you already have it, it is all good

System ROM: 262 MB (117 MB free)
Internal: 154 MB (58.9 MB free)
SD card: 14.0 GB (13.3 GB free)
SD card (a2sd): 1.55 GB (1.51 GB free)
It seems that Darktremor is working to some degree (or maybe the CM7 rom is just better). It's moving more of the app to the SD card than my stock rom did. However, it's not moving anything to the ext4 partition.
Would I be able to do the cm7r2 partition with XD2SDX and have better results?

How do I check whether the apps2sd is writing to the ext4 partition or not? Or how can i see how much is being used of the ext4 partition?

Download sebastiaan15 Runnymede AIO V3.0.5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315961 Make sure you have CM7/r2 Hboot and have partitioned your sd card with Gparted.
First partition fat32-primary second ext4 primary.
Put rom zip on sd card and boot into recovery full wipe, even in advanced settings wipe dont touch battery.
Flash RoM and at the end it will ask you if you want xd2sdx or normal a2sd+ you want to select YES. thats it reboot and enjoy 1GB storage.

I guessed as much after seeing S-ON. Well, I guess I'll first try S-OFF and then go for the 1 gig partition if required. Scared of tinkering with things I hardly understand!

I guess I will have to go for the partition sooner or later looking at how measly HTC has been with the internal memory! But, then I will have the guts only when I need to do it
Another thing I noticed were the number of guides now available online! Its like the information overflow problem. Just that you don't know which to go with!
Which one should I go with - in particular for turning s-off, changing hboot and partitioning sd card! Any help appreciated.

Will this Runnymede ROM work with a CDMA Desire? It looks like the Cool3D Runnymede works with CMDA, but it doesn't say anything about xd2sdx or even a2sd+.

I'm going to try re-partitioning my SD card with gparted to see if that makes a difference. I read a negative comment about Minitool, which I used, and I'm wondering if that's my problem.

Think its only GSM you should always use Gparted, I like to stay away from recovery partition and windows partition.

Recovery partitioning is as good as partitioning with GParted. One should only be aware of programs like MiniTool Partition Wizard.

[Q] My Htc Desire doesn't work and can't boot, i need help!

Hi everybody,
I have an Htc Desire, just 15 minutes ago, i wanted to flash my HBoot to Bravo CM7 R2 with Android Flaher, i thought everything went fine, but instead, my phone can't boot and can't work normally, it goes directly each time to my recovery 4EXT Recovery Touch.
Please can someone help me to recover my phone?

Hi,
I did a recovery from the Back up i did earlier, it worked fine, but still, my Desire couldn't work, but thank god i could boot my phone this time. Now i have CM7 R2 as an HBoot, so the operation went well. I tried to start many times my phone, but it stucked on the White image with the HTC Logo in green. i choosed to flash my phone with "Runnymede_AIO_V6.0.4.3_Special_Edition" like i had before, now my desire works fine, :laugh:.
I have two questions :
1- Why my Desire didn't want to work after i flashed the Hboot to Bravo CM7 R2 with Android Flasher?
2- i wanted to flash my hboot to CM7 R2 in order that my Rom can recognize the 4EXT Partition (1 GB), but it didn't work. How to solve this problem?
Thanks.

1. When u change hboots u must boot recovery and format all partitions except sdcard.
2. If u mean in settings/storage then yh, it dont show ur 1gb partition. CM7r2 hboot is just ur phones memory so
System size is 145mb
Cache size is 5mb
Data (internal memory) size is 287mb
it has nothing to do with ur sdcard partition. Theres an app called DiskUsage in playstore, it shows partition sizes and whats being used, download it and then download a few apps and can check in the diskusage app if ur sdcard partition is being used.

Hi, thanks for your reply
1. I didn't format the partitions you mentionned, thanks for the tip.
2. To be able to use the 4EXT partition with the ROM "Runnymede AIO V6.0.4.3 Special Edition", i should have flashed my Desire to either CM7r2 or, Stock, i choosed the first option. But also i had to flash my Desire with "ad2sdx-1.0-RC01.zip", which i did.
Now, i have 1 GB free space internal memory, :laugh:. Even though i should have 1 GB 4EXT + 287 MB Data = 1,29 GB. Plus, i used the DiskUsage Appli, and i got only 585 MB free space from my internal memory. And on Android Assistant Appli, i found out also, i had 585 MB of free space & 422 MB of space used, how come? I thought i would have at least 1 GB of free space.

Im using runnymede aio v6.1.1 with INT2SD-S.
Basically ur ext partition get converted to ur internal memory, so i have 1.5gb ext4 partition and after the rom is installed i was left with 1.1gb internal memory. So with a 1gb ext4 partition u would be left with around 500-600mb internal, so yh its correct what u have.

[Q] Cool3D Runnymede v7 and A2SD

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to give a second life to my GSM Desire. Like a lot of people, I had internal memory problems with my Stock ROM Froyo, so I decided to skip on custom ROMs with unlimited memory.
I tried CM7 but I missed Sense. Then I flashed Supernova Xtrem, unlimited memory was good, but my device was rebooting once or twice a day, loosing each time 5 by 10% of battery life...
So I decided to flash another ROM: Cool3D Runnymede v7 by Coolexe.
My device is rooted, S-OFF (Revolutionnary) and I installed 4Ext Recovery (which is really very usefull) !
Coolexe wrote that it's Stock Hboot compatible so I kept my Stock Hboot.
I've a 1GB Ext4 partition (thanks to 4EXt recovery).
The md5 is good, so I flash the ROM in the recovery (Stock Hboot, dalvik to SD, GSM version), the phone reboots and the ROM works.
BUT I can't use my Ext4 partition! The free space on my internal memory is only about 140 MB...
So I looked for a solution in the forum and after many wipe/reflash/reboot/wipe/reflash/reboot, I found the Amarullz'A2SDX script ! I flashed the 40ad2sdx-a2.zip file in the recovery and, fantastic, it shows in my internal memory 330 MB and 660 MB free.
So I install some apps, I use the web browser and I get a message telling me that the internal memory's full..Damned!
So, Could you suggest me a "A2SD" method that works with this great ROM ??? :fingers-crossed:
I unzipped the ROM package to see how it was made and I saw It already has a "initd" folder with a "40a2sd" file in it. Is it a clue?
Thanks in advance!

BUT I can't use my Ext4 partition! The free space on my internal memory is only about 140 MB...
So I looked for a solution in the forum and after many wipe/reflash/reboot/wipe/reflash/reboot, I found the Amarullz'A2SDX script ! I flashed the 40ad2sdx-a2.zip file in the recovery and, fantastic, it shows in my internal memory 330 MB and 660 MB free.
So I install some apps, I use the web browser and I get a message telling me that the internal memory's full..Damned!
So, Could you suggest me a "A2SD" method that works with this great ROM ??? :fingers-crossed:
I unzipped the ROM package to see how it was made and I saw It already has a "initd" folder with a "40a2sd" file in it. Is it a clue?
Thanks in advance!

The ext partition is working. It will not show in the internal memory. You will see that your memory will be filling a lot slower. Just continue using the ROM. You didn't have to install anything.
Reinstall the ROM, and use it like it is.

Woow, impressive! In fact, it was so simple! Seems to work! I installed a lot of apps: as you said, the internal memory fills very slower...But I have to install lots of applications to make it full...
Problem solved!
Thank you very very much!

Hi !
I have no more problems with A2SD but sometimes (at least once a day), the phone freezes. It can be when I open a game (angry birds or fruit slice) or even when I open the internet navigator ! The only solution I found: take off battery and reboot...It's the ONLY reproach I have for this ROM, so if I could solve it, it would be great!
Could it be a RAM problem (in this case, I don't know what I can do) or perhaps a kernel problem (I have this one : 2.6.35.14-gingercakes-0.9-avs, is there a bette one for this ROM) ?
Thanks in advance!

Try droidzone kernels, prob the best sense kernels around.

Ok, thanks for the advice! Where can I find it and which one is the best for the Cool3D ROM ?

Google would be a good start. Also i never used that rom so i dunno. Droidzone has alot of kernels, all with different features. Have a read at them and test a few of them over the next few days
