Hi All,
I flashed Ginger Villain 3.3 for about a month now. I came from runnymede ROM but decided to just go vanilla with Ginger Villain. Just this morning my phone started to freeze when I tried sending SMS. Other freezes include opening phone settings etc.
I rebooted my phone then my SD Card cannot be detected anymore. I rebooted again then thankfully my SD Card has been detected however I started to get the message Low Memory for my Phone Storage. When I checked my applications via Manage Applications under settings there is only 68kb left. It looks like my phone's dalvic cache was once again moved to my internal. I rebooted my phone again and now it just keeps on showing the gingervillain boot animation over and over.
Here are some additional details:
Remaining external storage memory is 2.3GB/16GB
Remaining phone storage after moving dalvic cache to SD is 72mb/156mb
Created an EXT4 partition of 256mb via alpharev recovery menu.
Flashed the rom without any modification i.e. kernel, radio etc.
I also use HoneyComb as themes.
Noticed that when I play games the OC Beater that is pre installed with GingerVillain keeps on opening even though OC/UC are not set.
I've already tried wiping both the dalvic cache and the cache partition, still the phone is in boot loop state.
I hope someone could help me. Thanks so much in advanced!
Flash ROM with only wiping cache and dalvik cache, so just over current installation.
Swyped from ICS with Transparent XDA App
Already tried that. Didn't work. Anyways I wiped data,cache and dalvic cache. Flashed new ROM now. Should I delete this thread or just let it be for others reference?
You can't delete a thread, only mods can do it. But as XDA is made for helping, don't even ask a mod for it. Better write if flashing a new ROM worked for you.

Sounds like its most likely your SD card. Backup everything off it onto computer, then format it, get rid of all partitions for eg. App2sd just to be safe, then put update file on SD card again, full phone wipe, dalvik cache wipe, and you should be ok. Mess about with app2sd once your bit more experienced.

Are you new to flashing custom roms? the first boot can take a while fyi
do a full wipe and wipe the dalvik cache before you flash the 3.3 rom
it must be that you didnt flash it properly, the 3.3 rom boots without problems on the hero
wipe/factory reset
wipe dalvik
wipe/factory rest
off
boot recovery
flash
reboot
setup
reboot
done!

Nope... I'm not new to flashing ROM. Almost flash to the level where I need to in an Anonymous Flash-oholics group.
I did do a full wipe and wipe the dalvik cache before I flashed the 3.3 rom.
I also re-flashed, tryed wipeing before and after, wiped the dalvik cache before and after...
The reason I do not have a ext part on my SD is, that I do not install so many applications, that I run out of space. And the speed of the internal mem is alot faster.
For keeping my apps between flashs, I find titanium back to be the best solution.
Is a ext part need to run the 3.3? I ran almost all the other villain rom version, without a ext part.

Hey,
I also have problems installing 3.3 ROM. I have a running 3.2 VillainROM but 3.3 will just not install! I did factory/ rest wipe + Davlik wipe but stuck @ bootscreen again! I do have a ext3 (or 2) partition which I did not flash, but the installing of 3.2 worked fine so I guess its a problem with 3.3...
Hi all.
Please help I'm stuck at the white HTC Splash Screen.
I have a US Cellular CDMA Desire. Rooted.
Lately I'be been running low on memory storage and so I decided to look into A2SD Rom. I've tried CM and MIUI roms, but I really like stock Sense. So I was very happy when I found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947481
Stock Rom that supports A2SD.
I flashed it and it was fine. Restored a bunch of apps using market and titanium backup rebooted and it got stuck on a white splash screen.
I went into recovery and wiped the phone data, cache and dalvik cache and flashed the rom again.
Again started loading apps, but this time I rebooted after one or two apps. (that takes long).
Anyway, I got a whole bunch of apps installed and was close to filling up internal memory so I moved the dalvik cache to the SD card's EXT3 partition via the terminal simulator. Phone rebooted and was fine.
Installed a few final apps including Adobe Flash 10.2
Once again decided to move all the dalvik cache via terminal simulator ( I use "SU" and then "a2sd cachesd" commands)
The phone rebooted and now its again stuck on the white HTC splash screen.
I waited a while (over an hour), took out the battery same thing
Went into recovery wiped dalvik cache - same thing
Took out the SD card - same thing
Wiped dalvik cache again this time without the SD card, and again I'm stuck on the white splash screen. In all I think I'm close to 4 hours of the white splash screen (and obviously no phone )
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know I can go back to my nandroid back up, but I really want to resolve this so that I can increase my memory storage via the SD card's EXT3 partition.
Thank you for any help!
Restore your backup and try again.

I'm already on my 4th attempt. I think I'm doing something wrong, or there is something wrong with this rom.
It's and Adobe Flash problem, but I don't know what
Ok, on my 5th attempt here and I think I narrowed it down.
The culprit is Adobe Flash 10.2
I did a complete wipe once again and flashed it again.
Then right away installed Flash from market. No other apps installed.
Rebooted, and sure enough stuck at the white HTC flash screen.
Could this have something to do with A2SD?
Please help!
When I am trying to clear the Dalvik cache as a step in installing whatever ROM I am getting an error message.
When I go into Advanced>Wipe Dalvik Cache> as soon as I select Wipe and it asks me if I'm sure, a line shows up that says "E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]". When I scroll down and say yes it gives me a message that says it worked.
The SD card is actually at [/external_sd]. So did it work, or is it lying to itself?
I'm confused about why it's looking for the Dalvik cache on the external SD. I thought that would be internal. What do I need to change so that CWM (and my OS?) is looking for the external in the right place?
I discovered this when I was installing Jugs 3.7. It installed clean and is working just fine. This error message also reproduced itself when I installed Domination 2.0 with the ICS theme. That rom also installed correctly and, as far as I could tell in the hour I was playing with it, had no glitches.

Mine says the same with the volume ....I thought it was just me....but everything runs perfect so I didn't wanna bring it up

You can ignore that error. Almost everyone will get it.
The reason being, there are ext to sd scripts that people use on other devices that have very low internal storage. So they will move the /data partition to sd-ext. Now since the dalvik-cache is located in the /data partition, the wipe dalvik cache script inside cwm will auto-wipe to both locations, just incase. Since our phones don't really need this, we have tons of internal storage, we don't utilize those scripts.
Also don't confuse this with apps 2 sd scripts, or just moving apps to your sdcard, it's not the same thing.
I'm new to rooting but having read extensively on Android Forum and here I've successfully flashed MildWilds ROM.
I'm very happy with it so far but find it keeps locking up after inactivity.
I believe this is one of the more stable ROMs so I am trying to work out what could be causing this.
My current thought is that I flashed the radio from 5.11.05.27 to 5.17.05.23 prior to installing mildwild. I've been experimenting with my phone and it seems stable in airplane mode - but this may be a coincidence.
Any advice welcome.
Thanks
Radio shouldn't be causing freezes
Hmm if you search in mildwilds thread their is a zip to move dalvik back to system from sdext, i think that might help you
if you cannot find the zip pm me with ur email id send them to you
Thank you. I think I've found the reference post 1781

It seems there are two zips.. one to move dalvik to Internal and one to reverse this back to the SD.
But if you want Dalvik cache in interne memory, you can flash this file.
dalvik-cache-interne-signed.zip (3.5 KB) - md5sum: 227BC659B2960A7701EF15D5E7C27344
And if you want back to put Dalvik-Cache to SD
flash : dalvik-cache2SD-signed.zip (3.51 KB) - md5sum: A1BF45256C6E4540A597E5FD84DE18F7
Assuming you're right I assume I can try the first zip and see if it improves things.. if not I can just move the dalvik cache back to the SD card.
The phone only seems to lock up when not in airplane mode.
you got that right mate
first one , do post if this solved the issue
I've tried all versions of mildwild without this problem, running dalvik on sd-ext. Did you do a full wipe before flashing the rom: system, cache, data & ext partition? What type of ext partition do you have? I'm using an ext-4 but an ext-3 should be pretty similar in terms of performance. The only time I've experienced anything similar has been with a few sense roms, where the processor has been set to underclock when the screen is off. I presume that you haven't changed the CPU settings or flashed an alternative kernel?
Thanks.. I did a full clear before installing. 1gb on ext3 and left the cpu setting as standard.
I'm starting to think it may be a faulty SD card. I flashed Teppics Gingerbread ROM on a new card last night and it seems very stable .. even at work.
I'll leave it a few days and then plan to try the nandroid backup I made for mildwild on a new SD card. I assume it's easy to do this.
I'll keep you updated.
Few days running Teppics ROM.. and the phone hasn't locked up at all. I suspect it was an issue with the SC card. I'll try one of MildWilds ROMs later this week and let you know if it's stable on a new SD card.
i installed aio v6.0.4.3 but i have two errors-faults:
low memory warning
and battery sign freeze.
Does anybode knows how to fix them??
i saw this:
"(Q) My phone is giving me low memory warnings – Help!
(A) There are two possible reasons:
1. If you are using AD2SD and haven’t moved the Dalvik to the SD Card it can be taking up a lot of room in the phone.
2. All apps, even when they are on the SD Card due to AD2SDX, still have some component in the phone; eventually the phone memory will become low. Test this by getting Cache Cleaner from the market and use it to clear the cache and see if the low memory warnings stop. If you can’t install Cache Cleaner because memory is too low, boot into recovery, clear the Cache (but NOT the Dalvik cache) and then reboot. Then try installing the Cache Cleaner app."
I tried wipe cache and wipe cache app but it worked just once now i stuck!I can not fix it.So i thing of trying to do the 1st suggestion but i was thinging.....during installation i pressed(if i remember well)APP2SD,there was no other option.After installing rom i flashed AD2SDX file as this link says: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18911182&postcount=1784
(i mean this: "INSTALLATION
Copy ad2sdx-1.00-RCxx.zip into Your Storage Card
Go To Recovery Mode
Full Wipe Your Phone!
Flash The Sebastiaan15 RunnyMede Desire ROM
Flash/Run ad2sdx-1.00-RCxx.zip Directly After Flashing ROM
Reboot"
so sould i move the Dalvik to the SD Card.
thanks a lot.
