What if i make ext partitions on two SD, then install a specific rom on both, can i swap them?
Thanks
Edit: SDs not SdD, stupid keyboard
i think this is a pointless thread you cant install two roms in one phone.
so the so the answer is NO

Wrong. Bootmanager. It has it's limitations though... such as giving you trouble with D2EXT and A2SD ROMs etc. I don't use it, didn't really like it, but the possibility to do what you want is there.
So before you answer, make sure what you say is correct, instead of misleading people.
Ok so i got misunderstood, i don't want to install two rom, the same rom on two cards, to be swapable for ex. with my camera.

For what?
And unless you install a D2EXT/ A2SD ROM you'll be fine

Because all new sense roms need partitions.
Not a big need, just wondering if i could.

Hi,
I already rooted my Desire and i want to know if i can now flash any rom. Or i have to do anything else first, like partion sd card, etc?
And which roms u guys recommend?
Thanx
Fail...
Do some research, questions like this are asked FAR too many times.
Which ROM to use? Try them for yourself, what works for one person might not for the next. It depends what you want out of it...
As for EXT partitions, only needed if you plan on using A2SD+ (and if the ROM you're looking at supports it)
Ok.
I'm gonna try some of them.
Thanx
Hi, I'm sorry if this has been asked many times, but I couldn't find any REAL answers with a bit of searching. Just "use apps2sd+" or something else, but no-one ever said where to get it, or how to use it...
So, I have a (euro) HTC Desire with stock 2.2 ROM, rooted with Unrevoked (don't know version, did it today (23th of October).
I want to be able to install all apps to the SD, as the Desire's internal memory is practically a joke (HTC, are you listening? WHAT MUSHROOMS DID YOU EAT? 140Mb?? Really?)
Can I install some a2sd/a2sd+/apps2sd/apps2sd+/etc. any letter combinations to this rooted stock rom to be able to install more than five programs at a time? I really, really don't want to install a new rom, I'm very happy with the stock with Sense, other than that stupid limitation...
Just install this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773997 , additional packs easily installable, also a2sd+

It's completely the same ROM you're using now + it's prepared for a2sd+. Or you can go and silently cry in the corner about bad bad HTC.

The reason is, I can unroot the thing if need be, but if it has a completely different (yes, not exactly completely, but it isn't the stock rom which came with this phone) ROM, I'm sure the repair shop will be happy to send me a bill next time I would have to send it to repair under warranty...
So it is NOT possible to use Apps2SD (or any other letter combination) with the Stock ROM?
Aw, that sucks.
You voided warranty when you rooted it, so whats the point anyway. If you use the RUU update to unroot it, you'll get back to stock ROM. But for now, why limit yourself.
An option is Google's Froyo a2sd implementation -> http://myhtcdesire.com/tutorials/how-to-force-apps-to-sd-without-rooting-on-froyo
But that's crappy anyway, not all apps are movable and you gain much more space with a2sd+.
Ok guys need some advice.
Do i need to partion my sd card with synergy rom? And if I do what a2sd should I use.
btw huge kudos to the synergy rom team for creating an awsesome rom.
i dont think you have to partition your sd card..but its recommended. as soon as we have a root method for 2.3.3, im going to use that ROM!

Well I have had my phone rooted since last september. However I can say go with this rom asap. The team of devs is amazing.
There's a topic in Development about partitioning that has ALL the steps you need AND there's another topic on THIS section that has ALL the steps you need.
That search button really works, so does reading a few thread headlines.

Hip, I did read that thread about partioning. Maybe I being dumb here. but by partioning my sd card, does that free space on the internal memory which helps for more apps or does it help with the speed of the phone?

This frees up a TON of space from your phone. I'm pretty sure it also slightly speeds up the phone.

hey guys
I've been looking for an answer for this question for 5 hours but wasn't able to understand what the next step should be.
My Story (not necessary)
I've successfully rooted my HTC Desire (which was a pain because I had to downgrade my phone first and root it with unrevoked on Ubuntu 10.04). I thought the latest version would be supported, actually it didn't change anything! (well it's rooted now after all...)
I was looking for the best method to update the Desire without loosing root. After hours spent on google looking for an answer
I wanted to know:
The best method to update an HTC Desire without loosing root. As far as I understand gingerbread was the 2.3 release and Froyo all the earlier releases.
Where do I get it?
How do I install it?
thanks in advance!!
ps: All methods from 2009 and 2010 wouldn't work for me.
my specs:
Firmware Version: 2.1-update1
Baseband Version: 32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09
Kernel Version: 2.6.29-0cfb9f166
[email protected] #1
Build number: 1.21.405.2 CL174215 release-keys
Software number: 1.21.405.2
Update using a custom ROM (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=628 for all the threads containing these ROMs, and a how to). I use sebastiaan15's Runnymede AIO which is a Gingerbread with HTC Sense 3.5 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315961) but there are plenty of others on there, depending on what you want. You will keep root, as the Custom ROM will be rooted.
thanks for your quick answer! it really helped me getting a good overview!
still I have one more question:
that means that every custom rom is rooted?

I suppose technically it would be possible for a Custom ROM to not be rooted, but there aren't any that I am aware of, or have ever installed, and I can't see why a dev would produce a non-rooted ROM.
I'd recommend 4ext recovery (install it via the market), so you can take a full ROM backup. That way if you don't like a Custom ROM that you flash, you can just revert back to exactly where you were beforehand. Even if the new ROM won't boot, you can just boot into recovery and restore.
Also, a good idea to use Titanium to do a backup, so that you can then restore your user apps when you're on your new ROM. DON'T restore system when swapping from one ROM to another, or it may very well mess up your new ROM.
Hope that helps. I went through all this, and had all these sorts of questions a couple of months ago, so happy to help you work through it.

wow thanks, when I first watched the introduction video I thought I wouldn't get that much and awesome help here
There is still a question bothering me:
Concerning SD formatting, there are some guides which say that it is possible to create "virtual ram" by adding a linux swap partition at the end of the sd card, is that actually true? or does that also depend on the rom?
does that really help? (I know that having an ext4,3,2,1 depends on the rom and is used for app2sd)
thanks so much for helping me guys!!

You need to have a swap partition with some ROMs (swap partition is not the same as ext partition!). Select ROMs you like the most and read the first posts really carefully. All usefull info are there! Once you have selected the ROM you want to install, prepare your card accordingly, flash the ROM and ENJOY!

Hi, I've not found I'd ever need any extra RAM, so I've never bothered with a ROM that needs it. In my humble and limited experience I've not seen any that need a swap partition. An ext partition on the other hand is very useful, as you can install more apps. My sdcard for all 4 ROMs that I often use (Seb15's Runnymede, CM7, Stock Froyo and ICS Beta) just has a 1Gb ext4 partition (for apps2sd) and the rest fat32.

Do you want to be stock rooted or unrooted? There are roms for each. You'll want to look around the development section. Look for return to stock img or Condemned Soul's CCM7 or Andybone's Stock, then read up in the threads before deciding which to use.

If you want to get the clock widget and still run AOSP, there are alternatives at the play store too. Just sayin.
Fancy widgets or Beautiful Wifgets are 2 examples.

Let me guide you, oh naive one, to one of our Best ICS ROMs. Since all you want is the clock widget, I'll say why not go for the UKB Rom II 1.3.1? A bit overkill, but it has the best version of the Clock widget. The Sense 4.0 one... *drool* And DON'T UNROOT! noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo....... oooooo....

Mine was 451 MB. Most roms are at LEAST 120 MB.
Not sure how much you know but in recovery you'll want to wipe data, system, cache, and dalvik cache before flashing.
ClockWorkMod recovery is the most popular and likely what you have on your phone.
4ext is nice. I'm running it myself at the moment.
TeamWinRecoveryProject is another popular choice lately.
Any of the three will get the job done. Once you get the rom up, stable, and gotten your apps setup... you'll want to go back into recovery and do a backup. It will eat some space on your SD card but it's well worth it to have a base to fall back on later and makes it easier to try new roms since you can just restore the backup and have your 'base' back at any time.

1. If you aren't sure how the whole flashing a rom process works, you really need to spend some time reading around the forums. That's how we all learned.
2. You are given a daily allowance of XDA Thanks. You should use them because several people have been extremely helpful, without flaming your noobishness...even though you have a high post count.
I'm not being rude, but if you really read around the forums and educate yourself a little it will help you out a ton and save a lot of frustration. You need to get to know the particulars of flashing on this particular phone.
And no, 4.3mb isn't a full rom file.

Which means you probably did something wrong...and need to read up to make sure you do the steps correctly. Here's a freebie:
1. Download ROM
2. Check MD5 sum
3. Wipe phone
4. Flash ROM
5. DEPENDING ON THE ROM: flash kernel
6. DEPENDING ON THE ROM: flash gapps
7. Reboot phone
There may be some additional differences as specified by a roms dev. If you don't know what all of those steps mean...I repeat, please read around the forums. The answers are all over the place.

Do you know if you are S-Offed? That is probably the only reason why u are stuck. If not, you need to do that first OR learn to flash with simply HTC dev unlock. Otherwise, make sure you follow the steps to the T. Always wipe data/dalvik/cache and if possible /system (but not necessary as the ROM will and should wipe that anyway.)

It should say S-OFF as well. Because it can be S-ON and still unlocked via HTC Dev Unlock.
