[Q] Alaska is behind.....stuck with 2.1,help with app2sd on Unrevoked rom.

Yo,
Big thanks to XDA!
The short version.I'm in Alaska, we won't get froyo working correctly on our network up here for a while........Right now I'm running a CDMA Unrevoked 2.1 rom and the phone does everything I need except app2sd. I've done allot of hunting with no conclusive answers to my following question.
Can I push my apps the sd card on the unmodified CDMA unrevoked rom.(try saying that 10 times fast...)I have partitioned the sd with clockwork (rom manger) but have not been able to find a way to push apps to the sd with an unmodified unrevoked rom.I may be missing the most obvoius answer but I'm asking anyway......
I know this will be asked.Why not run a custom rom?
I have run a few modded roms, but I have issues with them on our network up here. Not the roms fault,so I'm working with what we have. The best (no bugs) rom I've run up here, is the unrevoked 2.1 cdma rom.
If app2sd cannot be done on the stock 2.1 unrevoked rom I can accept that and wait.I just need confirmation for the masters.
Any help is appreciated!
THanks,
Nick

If your using a rooted stock sense rom just flash this boot to get app2sd to work on your phone.

Its for cellsouth but works with ACS according to the post and it worked fine on my GCI/Digitel phone as well.
I just used Darktremor's apps2sd. Make sure and move the Dalvik Cache too as you will still run out of space on the desire.
Here are the commands for apps2sd
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7021609&postcount=5

Awesome! I downloaded both files and installed as recommended. I already had the SD partition using Rom manager so I only had to flash from the SD. Looks like its working so far.
Thanks!

Yo!
So to give an update and a hint if others on ACS are setting this up. If I move that dalvic cache to SD the phone is dropping the network. Phone and internet. I moved dalvic cache back to internal and all is well. It may be due to a new topram 32g SD card I installed at the same time as app2sd , but I'm okay with the compromise on internal space given the phone is not glitchy at all now. Figured I would give a heads up to anyone up here.

Data2sd on RUU?

If I manage to get S-OFF and root then is it possible to increase my internal memory by Data2sd on the standard ROM?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using xda premium

after s-off and rooting you can partition your sd card, install link2sd and move all your apps to this partition freeing your internal memory... atleast this is what I did... no need to flash any custom ROM for this... you can do this with the official htc rom... not sure about data2sd though
i am sure you will find some link2sd guide in these forums...

So my internal memory will be same? That's kind of nice but still I'd like to know about Data2sd. Let me know if you get any info, thanks
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using xda premium

with link2sd the internal memory remains the same...i have about 40 apps installed now using link2sd but still have about 85mb internal memory...
I think for data2sd you require a custom rom that supports it... i am a noob when it comes to android so i may be wrong.. even I want to know whether we can use data2sd on official htc rom...
wait for some experienced user to comment on this...

It'll work. Install CWM Recovery, root and super user your phone then:
Just follow the instructions to flash it in CWM Recovery.
Prepare for a long initial boot.
BTW I have Link2SD installed and have 122 apps installed including big ones like Swype, Doubletwist, Co-Pilot Live 8, 32 of those apps including Swype on the internal memory for quick loading, and I'm sitting at 75 megs free internally and 440 megs used on the ext4 partition. And yes...it's fast.

[Q] about [ROM] [20/08] Pre-rooted Stock Gingerbread (3.14.405.1) from teppic74

Hello there Dudes!
First i want to send you my compliments for your GREAT and helpfull sites/ forum about all rootings & stuff
A past few Days i had such no idea about rooting etc. You helped me sooo much, i just want to say thank you...
And NOW?!?!
I'm coming from FROYO_2.2.2 with 5.11.xx now i have the OFFICIAL GB 2.3.3 with 5.17.xx
I HAVE ROOT! I HAVE S-OFF!
I have a new Hboot and CWM flashed!!!
Everything works fine.
But I still have problems with the internal Memory. A few aps and im out of space This is why i now had part my sd with des RomManager Tool. 512 to ext and 256 to cache.
But the Stock-Install don't mount the ext.part.
Now i have read, i had to do it BEVORE install ROM. Right? Not a big Problem, but i want to stay Stock as possible. So this ROM seems to be perfekt.
It shouldn't be any problem with GSM/HSDPA/EDGE and all the european NetworkStuff?!?
By the way: Provider is O2 (but i think it doesn't matter)
BUT:
Now I have a little problem to download the file from mirror placed in the entry-post. Is it a fault of my network or did you move the files to another server?
Can you give me an alternate adress?
I can't post in the developer forms.
THX a LOT
PS: Just another little Q i didn't find an answer:
Must a system be installed on the device, to flash a new ROM with an RUU executive? Or will it work too if the Desire in Bootmenu, only?

Hi,
I Didn't need to activate a2sd before installing rom.
I use Cyanogenmod, but i thing it should work on stock rom too.
Search for “darktremor“.

And you need only the recovery to flash a rom.

Have you installed a2sd addon from Teppic's thread?
SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk.

No, I hadn't install the ap2sd from teppic yet, because the downlink seems to be broken too.
But, it doesn't matter. I want to wipe my phone, because of other (i hope) software errors I had on phone since a long time.
For example the international storage have after install the GB update from 2.2 to 2.3 only ~110 to 120 MB free. This can't be right, can it?
So, now I want to try to do a new installation with min 3 wipes/ factory reset before.
This is why the question is: can I install a RUU file over USB, when there is not longer a system on phone? I think I have to make it from Cmw-Recovery with an zip?
So, my greatest wish is. Please give me a funktional downlink to the system of teppic!
Thanks so far!
Edit: now I realized the post from conch

UPDATE:
Plugged in a new 8GB µSD (C4) and partition it with CWM-Recovery to 1024MB ext and 256MB Swap.
This should be enough
Now coming up a new Question. What is the ext-part now of format? ext-2/3/4? I don't have seen any option to change this in recovery? Is the AmonRa better with this? I read, there you can have a format of your choice.
So, now I only have to get the rom of teppic
EDIT: New thinking way...
1. Can the errors be solved by a damaged kernel? The ROM's dosn't inklude Kernel, does it?
How can completely change/erase the Kernel and flash a new one? Like the Same as flash an ROM or Radio?
2. When i flash an lower ROM (2.1/2.2) coming from a newer/higher (like 2.3.3 with Radio_5.17.xx) do i have to change the Radio too? Maybe for an 2.2 the 5.11.xx? Or will 2.2.x & 2.1 also work with an higher Radio (like 5.17.xx)
Thanks a lot!

I think it is for the best you do it from the scratch. Extending partitions rarely gives desired results IMHO.

So far, so good...
I had now installed the Stock GB Rom. From the official developer update RUU.
A few wipes, before install, seems to be cleaned my system. No I have ~125MB free space on phone!
I installed the CWMR 5.0 again and also the SU 3.x from teppic. Everything looks fine and working.
Just again the same little problem that the diskspace for my apps will be totaly full soon... What did the think about this little storage??? Arrrgglll!
Before installing ROM i changed the partition on SD to 1024MB ext-3 without swap.
And noew I have installed the ap2sd from teppic74 too. In recovery, everything looks fine. The install-procedure runs to end and show no errors.
But I still have 125MB and can't find any ap2sd app or something
Do i have to mount the ext-3 in any way, or did I miss something other?
Best regards and many thanks to all the people answered me! And not much less all the people who created this forum!

1) a2sd is not an app but a script. Besides ls I don't think there is a way except observing how your /data partition behaves. Frankly, I think adb is little over your head now. If not, search Droidzone's guide.
2) exactly what are you doing? You have a ruu installed now and you flash a2sd over it, or you installed Teppic's ROM?
SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk.

Exactly I installed the developer RUU. Then flash it over adb with the ClockworkMod-Recovery and than install the v3.x SU from teppic with flashing from CWMR. Make new boot to check if SU works. Seems to be fine.
Then installed the ap2sd, from teppic, again with CWMR. Looks fine. But I don't think it was success. Because I've seen a screenshot in another thread, from an HTC desire, where you can see, the phone storage is more than 1GB. But I don't find this post again:/
Now I go on, first install the "Rom Manager".
So pls my friends tell me what I did wrong. Because the great internal storage with ap2sd+ was the main reason to make my phone root.

[Q] HTC wildfire S best custom ROM

Hello guys please tell me the best custom ROM for
my htc wildfire S
for best performance and installing more apps

The amount of apps you can install depends on which you choose Link2sd or Data2sd. Choose link2sd if your card is of class 4 or less. Go for data2sd only if you have a good card..
Almost all the ROMs are good here...
Personally I prefer these according to their spec.
Sense 2.1 / GB2.3.5
Wildchild
hensemod
Mindhaxor GB2.3.5 The thread was deleted so sorry can't get you the link.
Sense 3.5/ GB 2.3.5

I have both HTC Wildfire S and HTC Explorer. I would still prefer Wildfire S over explorer. The only drawback of WFS is that the processor is slightly older.
But WFS has a good android development team but there is just a single ROM for Explorer.
Go for Wildfire S. Its worth it.

Custom WFS ROM on S-ON?
Can I install HenseMod7 on my S-ON Wildfire S?
Im asking this because, in the steps for installing HenseMod7 there is some steps only of S-OFF devices... That means HenseMod7 is intended for S-ON devices too (S-ON means UNROOT too)
So my question is the HenseMod7 can be installed on my UNROOTED + S-ON Wildfire S?

You need SOff or S-On with unlocked bootloader + root.

The Wildfire S has that really irritating low internal memory problem when on stock.
Use the Data2SD flashable ZIP included with most ROMs posted up there. You can use ROM Manager to quickly partition your SD card (but it formats it so you lose all data on it).
If you use a Sense ROM, then Facebook for HTC Sense will pump your ContactStorage with profile pics, so even if you do Link2SD (which doesn't link system apps), you might run into low mem after a few 1000 messages and syncing contacts with fb.

.theme prob
.guys i've downloaded some themes for this ROM alpha6.
.after applying these themes, nothing happens. i mean, icons are still the same.
.the only theme that worked for me is the outline theme for cm9.
.anyone with the same prob? thanks for the ROM though its great

MIUI V4 is the best Rom.

If your'e looking for a fully stable rom then cm7...but i prefer cm9 but it's not as stable as cm7

For daily use wildchild is the best. It can play games overclock and everything else so well with lots of free internal memory.

in addition to this great post, you should also save what you want if you havent flashed your phone yet, and partition your SD card so that it will have a swap and apps partition that the phone will throw apps to instead of the phone memory by default. i have a 32GB sd card myself so it gets a 4096MB apps ext3 partition, and a 1025MB swap partition. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for better performance. by default, Android does NOT have a very large swap file, if at all. this all can be achieved by using the ClockWorkMod Recovery Image. Use that to achieve your partitions instead of using a PC.

This is the EXACT problem I have with links2sd on the wildfire s I currently have.
However, everyone suggests, on this rom and others, that if you don't have a class 6 or above card, then don't use apps2sd or data2sd (are these the same?)
I have the stock 2gb card that came in the wildfire s and I believe it's a class 2 or 4 maybe? Is this going to be a problem with the stock card?
Also I think this has to be setup as a gold card or something? I can't remember how it works with this phone

WildChild mentions that he has odex and de-odex? Which one does everyone recommend? Odex has 117 mb free, de-odex only has 77mb free.
Also Wildchild only used app2sd, not data2sd.
Hensemod uses links2sd which is where the super slowdowns on my phone are coming from per above.
How would I use data2sd instead on either of these?
(I tested my sd card speed and it's 6mb a sec easy)

Which rom suits my requirements?

Hello,
hoping for some input guys- I have got here an old Desire which runs 4.1 It is extremly slow and as soon as i install a game it shows me that it runs low on memory
i want to give the phone to my daughter but i need a properly working rom. It should be fast and reliable. No extras needed and i should be able to install a few games without running into trouble.
any recommendatios?

Install any of the Mildwild's ROMs. They are light stable and fast.
If you need Sense, then install the Cool Droid V3.
Ics and jb ROMs are not yet fast enough.

A2SD is integrated in the ROM. Since you already have an ext4 partition, it should get activated automatically. No action required from you.

Please allow me to borrow this thread a little bit instead of starting a new one.
I am also interested in getting a custom ROM, but I just can't live without the default Sense UI. I think I read somewhere that Lee Droid is a popular ROM that has the HTC Sense UI. But I have searched for it using Google and they don't seem to have a dedicated website.
I think there is a member here at XDA with the name LeeDroid. Is that the guy behind this ROM?
Is Lee Droid being actively developed at the moment?
How do I download and flash Lee Droid, or any other ROM? I mean is ROM Manager a must? Or can I use the option "install from zip" in CWM?
So except for Lee Droid, and Cool Droid, what other ROMs are using Sense UI? I just need the basic version, nothing extra flashy and HD, etc. I installed Cyanogen 7 once but didn't like the interface so I removed it.

To answer your question, Cool Droid V3 is not Lee Droid's ROM. Its by another dev. You just need an ext 3 or 4 partition on your SD card and 4ext recovery installed. You should be good to go.

I see that LeeDroid requires ext3 partition for Data++. I'm not sure what Data++ does but I know it has something to do with memory, and I love memory, and this phone (Desire) is known for constantly running out of memory. So I'm interested in that feature.
I used the Link2SD app for some time (on root, S-OFF and stock ROM with Android 2.29) and it worked pretty well until the Netflix app broke it down for some reason. It just wouldn't play nicely with Link2SD, the Netflix app was the only app that did not work. I ended up in boot loop and having to reflash everything with RUU. Luckily I saved my data.
Which one of those ROMs listed above is best for off-loading the internal phone memory and has minimal change to the UI? Do they all have A2SD integrated? I think this part is essential for this phone to work properly. I can't believe they put in so small memory in it. If I knew I wouldn't have bought it. I was not informed about it, I was just swept in all the hype about it that I didn't pay much attention to that aspect of the phone. I think I was under the impression that at least 512 MB would be available for user data.

I see that LeeDroid requires ext3 partition for Data++. I'm not sure what Data++ does but I know it has something to do with memory, and I love memory, and this phone (Desire) is known for constantly running out of memory. So I'm interested in that feature.

Data++ is an hboot. An hboot is the partitioning layout of the desires internal memory. There are 3 partitions: system, data and cache. In order to have the most amount of space for app data, you want a bigger data partition. The Data++ hboot allows you to have this. As you can see on alpharevs website, the data++ allocates the memory like this:
System -180M Cache-5M Data-252M
To use this hboot, the rom's system size must be able to fit into the system partition (in this case 180mb).

So HBOOT is not the actual bootloader (IPL+SPL)? Because that's what I thought it was...
I would like to try the An-Droid (Anderl's Android).
So what I need is "bravo_alphaspl-data.img" file from AlphaRev website and the AN-Droid 2.2.0 data++ file? The AN-Droid file is called "An-Droid_2.2.0_data.zip" and it is 154.8 MB. So this will work?...
I have radio 5.09.05.30_2. I checked the HTC Desire stock radio thread. It says that 5.17.05.23 is the latest. Do I have to upgrade mine?
