Some Q's about Desire Setup & others

Hi Mates,
I have owned my Desire for 2 weeks and it is the first Android device i have had. I have done a lot of searching the www and XDA for answers to the following questions but not come across anything yet. Please could some of you help me out with answers to the following questions:
1) APN & MMS settings - Is there no automatic method of having these settings detected from the SIM card and operator? I find it hard to believe that with Android we have to manually do the settings!
2) I have saved on my SD card Root the file PB99IMG.zip but to prevent it from being read everytime i try to go in to Bootloader mode, i changed the name to PPB99IMG.zip so now it is ignored by the Bootloader. My question is, if i wanted to restore this ROM file can it be done without renaming it to the standard protocol (PB99IMG.zip) can i use the Recovery menu to restore .zip? If so does it give the exact same result that it would if run from Bootloader?
3) I have Titanium Back up Pro version installed. it allows almost any of the installed applications to be moved to the SD card. Are there any that should NOT be moved to SD card, such as Titanium itself, RomManager, Call blockers or Profile applications etc etc?
4) I have formatted my 16GB SD in to one Fat32 primary partion of 14GB and created another Primary partion ext4 of 2GB. I'm using a standard official ROM 2.29.405.5 which has been Rooted using UnRevoke 3.22 which I think installed CWM Recovery. So my question is does the standard ROM make use of the Ext4 partion or only Custom ROMS and is this the best / correct Ext to have used?
5) Apart from the first Boot loop that i got after my very first NAND back up using CWM (just needed to restore the back up that it made to recover it) I have not had any issues. But it could not format and partion my SD I had to do that manually using GParted with puppy Lynix. Also i do not have S-Off either. Should unrevoke 3.22 give me S-Off or is that another process such as AlphRev? Is there a process that only give S-Off without changing the Recovery mode?
6) I can not seem to send e-mail from Hotmail using the built in Sense mail application. anyone have a solution for that and also how to get all the mails from various accounts delivered to a single Inbox? I have 1 x Hotmail and 2 x Gmail accounts and whilst they are all selectable from the account picker they are not combined in the Inbox. I'm currently using TouchDown 2.0 for a fully syncronised Hotmail account due to the built in mail client not being syncronised with the Web accounts. Anyone give any advise about a better set up using Sense functions?
I think thats about it for now. Thanx for anyone who can answer any of the above, I love this phone and it is gona lead to trouble with me and the wife!
Happy new year to you all!!

1. Use APN Backup and Restore App. Desire Stock Rom for the region does automatically have APNs. But I've not seen them autodetect on rooted Roms.
2. You cant use rooted recovery to flash it. File name has to be same. Why should you have to keep it on the card. Keep it on a CD/Hard drive. Copy it to goldcard only when needed. When you need it, use the card on a PC to rename it. Also you can run the RUU as exe file from Windows
3. Widgets shouldnt be moved. System apps shouldnt.
4. Froyo Rom (Stock rooted) cant use it. Use a custom A2SD+ rom /Data2ext rom. Ext2 has maximum compatibilty. ext4 is the best but with limited support. ext3 is slower than both.
5. Alpharev gives S-Off. Unrevoked for desire doesnt. Rooting automatically puts the recovery on it. You need it for most basic purposes, including the process of S-Off
6. No idea.

Thanx for your fast reply DroidZone!!
I'm assuming that "APN Backup and Restore App" only works if you already have the APN and MMS settings installed?
Regarding the APN and MMS settings....so do you know which file the Regional settings are saved in? And would it be possibly in theory to collect this info from all the Regional ROMS and compile a single file that would allow Auto set up for any Region or country being visited?
My old Windows phone used to be the same with manual settings being required but in later WM6.5.5 relaeses this was all done automatically no mater i was in Nigeria, UK or China. It would be nice to have that flexability for Android.

True you already need the settings. But some custom Roms (I forgot which one. Check Leedroid's page on XDA) have a huge list of APNs which come built in. But the better solution is to ask your service provider for the APN settings intially and then backup with this app.It's not one file, so it cant just be copied and imported. This app is the best solution. As you learn about roms, you will learn how to incorporate this app into your rom so that it will autosinstall.

By the way how to send mms? I did not see mms option when creating messages from the sms app.

Downloading...
I'll report back soon.

yay nice to see another android dev on the scene, welcome

please another mirror for downloading...i cant download it -.-

Hi,
Thank you so much. This is the best nand sense rom that i have come across so far. I love that you decided to bundle Data2EXT with Stock Desire.
Aside from some wakeup lag (bearable), I haven't been able to find any problems.
Keep up the good work.

Thanks
Mostly, i dont have lag on power, though it seems to be a common Sense build issue, anyway i did put some kernel updates on post #3.
I used all the day my build with SetCpu @ 1190 without problem and lags and battery is fine, worth a try .
Check in first post what radio i'm using, maybe changing it can help.

Looks good, tempted to download as the build I'm using at the moment doesn't work with MDJ S10.3.
Maybe, you could include a stock framework and stock fonts for stock lovers?

No problem......i will make an update with both stock fonts and framework.

build looks nice - this is my second nand flash both desire based.
The first worked perfectly and then i installed yours so i could get the sd memory but now im finding that alot of the apps that previously worked no longer do and i have also lost contacts.
The previous build was lightning fast whereas this seems to have a slight lag.
Do you think i have done something wrong? And should i download those 2 updates

Which build you was using?
Looking at your reply i suppose that you was using a non Data2Ext build, so it is normal:
_ Loosing App and Data if not a previous backup with Titanium backup,Mybackup,...
_A little lag, because Data are on SD card.

No, it wasnt a d2ext build (DFT's Desire build)
I guess you are right and i should expect lag etc
Am i right to assume that the apps that i find that arent working are doing so because they dont support a2sd? or should they 'believe' that they are on the rom?
I find that a large number of them, when i try to load them, just flash up the screen asking me to force close them.
Basic apps that should always run like Lookout security (worked previously) but only works intermittently now and i keep having to register apps such as the Android Market.
Also i cant seem to save contacts.

I dont know if there are apps that doesn't support a2sd but i just gave a try to Lookout Security and it does work as expected and i also can save contacts without any problem.
My guess is that you have something wrong with your SD card partition, read again the Readme.txt for "how to" partition it and before flash again the build, give a wipe from Clockworkmod menu.

yeah i think that's what i will do.
Although i followed all the steps - im sure i must have gone wrong somewhere.
I was also finding that some of the games dont save my progress.
I'll let you know how i get on.
Thanks for your help

thanks for this rom seems to be the best desire rom,only one thing can you increase usb transfer speed?Markinus has done this with his rom,thanks again

Thanks
Anyway USB transfer it is already patched, though i've seen that it is slow while using Multi Mount SD card.apk, can't go over 2,00 mb/s.

LeeDroid 3.0.x FAQ [UPDATE 23/04 - v3.0.3]

This is a summary of most useful and repeated info in main thread about ROM LeeDrOiD V3.0.x GB | Android 2.3.3.
Updated until April 23.
I've been reading most of the "ROM LeeDrOiD V3.0.x GB | Android 2.3.3" main thread , but have not installed it myself. Not in a beta testing mood. So decided to help instead by compiling what seems to be a FAQ, derived from that thread - so that the main thread needn't be polluted by always the same questions.
This is not meant to be complete. If an answer isn't clear enough, it's because more info is out there, either on Google, XDA or e.g. on http://leedroid.com/bravo-wiki/
All credit goes to Leedroid, and the experts answering on the main thread. I'm just compiling info - hopefully to slow down the rate of always-the-same posts in the main thread.
NOTE: do not use this thread to ask new questions. Only to debate the correctness of the FAQ.
* if you report a problem/success, make sure to mention your version of: HBOOT, recovery, S-OFF/ON, PVT (1-4) (if PVT4 also erasesize), did you wipe before flash, what was your previous ROM, etc, ...
* best way to install LeeDroid 3.x A2SD+ ROM:
- optionally backup all your apps with data (e.g. Titanium)
- optionally backup all your contacts, sms, apn's, etc (whatever is not saved in the cloud) - various apps out there.
- optionally nandroid backup (recommended for an easy way back if it fails)
- make sure to have HBOOT 0.93x
- flash new recommended radio (32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08), reboot to previous rom. Check radio version in Setting / About Phone
- set up your SD card with a (1st) primary partition FAT-32 and (2nd) primary EXT partition (512MB-2GB)
- from recovery: wipe all partitions (data, app, cache, dalvik) (except if coming from earlier Leedroid 3.x)
- flash the "Convert sdext to EXT3" zip (unless you know exactly why you don't want to - e.g. if you want to keep EXT4).
- flash the LeeDroid ROM
- reboot, wait, could take 5-20 minutes
- enjoy.
* ROM is only partially multi-lingual (system language). (is based on a leaked test ROM directly from HTC, many languages incomplete. Can't be fixed)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12968676&postcount=341
* IMPORTANT: so far, nobody with HBOOT 0.75 or 0.80 has reported success. It always hangs on boot. Solution: get HBOOT 0.93x.
Option 1) flash latest RUU (you will need to re-root also then). E.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13056537&postcount=1457
Option 2) Get it via AlphaRev S-OFF
* If you are S-OFF (alpharev.nl), make sure to have the default "stock" partition table sizes (Bravo Stock 250M/40M/147M).
* partitions of your SD card: (1st) primary partition FAT-32 and (2nd) primary EXT partition (the EXT partition should be 512MB-2GB; for most users, 512MB-1GB is plenty enough). Experts highly recommend Gparted (use align to MiB option; this is a Linux application, but easily used from a boot CD/USB for Windows users). (You may want to research this issue if you're new to it, is out of scope for this FAQ). Esp. if you didn't use Gparted, it's highly recommended to use the "Convert sdext to EXT3" zip -> will align the partition for faster read/writes.
* many people reporting ROM failing to boot/flash, fixed it by running the "Convert sdext to EXT3" zip. This will align & format in your EXT partition.
* Which recoveries work? So far, no special comments. CWM 2.5.x or AmonRa 2.0.0/2.0.1 seems ok. For some, flashing with recovery CMW 3.0.0.5 leads to boot hang, but others say it works.
* Several programs force close (e.g. angry birds ) when run from SD. Fix: move app to phone (Settings / Application Manager). Note that on an A2SD+ ROM, having the "app on phone" really means that app is on the EXT of the SD, so that's exactly what you want! ("App on SD card" as used in the Settings / Application Manager is an inferior method of saving data space)
* Gingerbread - Handcent: no LED. Known problem. Works with Green LED, not with Blue LED (in Handcent settings). Some say this can also be worked around with GO SMS and/or Led me know - search main thread for more.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13000559#post13000559
* Menu (button) to wake is problematic. This feature was added in LeeDroid 3.0.2. Only works for a short time after the screen lock. Lee's working on it.
* for some apps, restoring from Titanium *INCLUDING app's data* will lead to app FC. if so, delete app's data via Settings/Applications
* Adobe Flash Player / iplayer (BBC UK) problems? Redownload Flash Player from Market. Some say "it worked but only until the next boot!"

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13005263#post13005263
* Some people had problem until they wiped (write zeroes) the EXT partition from Partition Wizard, and reformatted (no need to touch the FAT32). Probably easier fixed with the EXT3 zip.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13003478#post13003478
* Some say "Swype needs to be switched on after every reboot"
* (sibere/droidzone's) Data2SD flashable zips DO NOT work on LeeDroid 3.
* EXT4 does not work with the leaked ROM (HTC). EXT4 support was added in LeeDroid 3.0.2. However, many have said that EXT4 is readable but can still not be used as A2SD partition with 3.0.2..
3.0.3 should bring improved EXT4 support - waiting for user reports!
* Compass is broken (doesn't point in right direction). (one user report that it works with older Radio)
* Visually it's almost identical to Froyo Sense, because it's still the same Sense version (some say 1.9) from Desire stock Froyo (with a few feature (text copying?) as in Desire HD Sense). Supposedly the Gingerbread improvements are under the hood (better memory management, speed, battery). Nobody knows whether future real/leaked ROMs from HTC will include a later Sense version (as in Desire HD or S)
* Gingerbread contains new feature "fast boot" which resembles hibernate... if enabled, you can't go into recovery on boot with the usual key presses...
(1) Try Settings > Applications > Turn off Fast Boot. (2) Or use ROM manager's (included with LeeDroid 3.x) "reboot to recovery" feature. (3) Or use Restart and hit vol- the moment screen goes black.
* Data++ can be made to work... but requires editing ROM before flashing. See main thread post by anderl78*
* Do I need to wipe? Some users say it works without (when coming from Leedroid 2.4) - if you feel adventurous, try yourself, but if problem, go back and wipe. (and report). This depends on how "different" your current ROM is.
Specific to 3.0.3
- see changelog on 1st post in main thread.
- No wipe required from 3.0.2
- No locale modifications yet, we will need a new WWE build from HTC
- no change on the menu/trackpad to wake...
- Many report that upgrade/uninstall of app via Market leads to soft reset. (but that install of new apps works). ==> update: there's a specific patch for that in main thread OP.
- compass still pointing in the wrong direction

good overview,well done mate!
i seem to be one of the few lucky individuals who was able to flash 3.0.2 without any problems whatsoever

Nice piece of work, thanks for that!
Could you add one other point? You DONOT need to disable fastboot to get back to recovery. ROMANAGER is pre installed, just open it up and select boot to recovery.

really useful thread mate!

Not sure if this is just mine or not, but when downloading apps from Market, it says "starting download" throughout the whole time it is downloading it whereas it used to show the progress of it..

Well done mate. Worth mentioning that reinstall flash works only until reboot on s-on phones,as you need to be s-off to edit system folder.
Reboot to recovery, either use Rom manager or normal restart and as soon as all light go out just hold -vol button.

Success
100% working, no fc's or problems flashing ROM (small problem with wake from menu/trackball commonly reported). Flashed newest radio before flashing ROM, came from LeeDroid 2.4
Read some people with old HBoot are going back to newest stock RUU to get 0.93, making life a little easier by starting from square one and then going through the procedure of root and s-off.
SD formatted Ext3 using GParted (it's a great tool)
Excellent thread, lots of waste of space questions in the main thread!

I second that, I came from ReflexTsense HD 1.8, as I only use EXT3 I didn’t have any of the problems I too can confirm the menu > track pad wake only works for a brief period but everything else is SOLID.
If your coming from a custom ROM I suggest you use MyBackUp Root to back up and restore all data (sms, contacts, settings, etc etc) and apps as I installed LeeDrOid 3.0.2 then downloaded a file manager, installed MyBackUp Root and I have been up and running with no FC’S. I do miss the features of a Desire HD ROM as it allows you to install some awesome Sense skins and just because of Sense 2.1 on HD ROMS, I am tempted to go back.
Thanks again for the FAQ dude.

Desire hardkey backlight
Thank you for the comprehensive FAQ.
1. Could you please advise if there's a mod or some other solution (prefereably non-battery-intensive) to turn off hardkey backlight on htc desire with Leedroid 3.x?
I tried "LED's hack" app but it pops up "superuser access granted" all the time + mentions that it can be battery-intensive. Maybe there's an alternative way, a patch of some sort, or a terminal command?
2. Lee says that LED backlight was tweaked. Still not good enough for many night users - too bright; is there a way to add led backlight custom level tweak functionality seen in CM?
3. Mainpage says "smartass\interactive governors used, selectable by SetCPU". Anybody happens to know what CPU governors \ values are used in screen off state? I assume smartass is on by default for screen on.

What about reading 2 post above yours? THAT is lazy mate.

Can I suggest that you ask people to format and partition their card using G-Parted via Linux/Ubnuntu boot CD - I think this is a better method than using the zip align and I'm guessing the reason that many people didn't have issues was that they originally partitioned their card via this method in the first place.
It worked for me when zip align didn't, I tried re-partitioning using AMON RA 2.0.1 and zip align and no joy.

Nice thread. Was certainly getting messy in the main thread.

Wanted to mention that instaling stock RUU from HTC site will give you 0.93, for those not wanting to S-Off. You'll have to re-root, but no big issue.

Seems to be 100% working here, save for the few glitches mentioned like Menu wake-up etc. I am 0.93 and S-On...all good

Whilst a new app is currently downloading and you go to the "My Apps" list, it will constantly say "Starting download" as opposed to showing the progress of the download. Once the download has been completed the app does still install..
I've tried clearing data/cache but it doesn't change it.

Easy recovery - restart phone and hold volume down once screen goes off

Guys, for new issues is better to put it in leedroid main thread where more experts see it. This thread is to collect and summarize known info. And to feedback on FAQ.
I will update OP tonight or latest tomorrow eve
Ps: Thx for feedback and suggestions to improve

My apologies then. I had this issue with stock ROM, factory restore fixed it for me. Google stuck download market issue,there will be a solution. I don't think its ROM related.

does this rom have compatibility with htcsense.com ?

^^^^No.
From the latter post it looks like people who don't have any problems flashing this rom are on hboot 0.93 and amonra 2.0.0/2.0.1 or older cwm 2.5.xxxx recovery, regardless of s-on or s-off.

a problem after installing new rom

hello all, i used to run the stock rom froyo, now i installed Android Revolution HD 3.5 wich is froyo also, and i'm making all the settings and app install, but i'm trying to move apps using app2sd or the stock application manager, the system give me computing for all apps without finish the computing, and i cant move apps.
since i know that customized roms are better with moving apps to sd than stock and support better this feature, what is going here, did i missed anything?
i did a full wipe before i installed the rom, but nothing else.
i installed all my apps, and all went to sd, but i have to move some of them to the internal just as how i used to manage on the stock, but i cant, anything to help please?

did you missed out to "allow" the superuser for apps2sd apps ?

apptosd never asked for permission, not before and not now, i think it's something related to the sd card repartition or ext4, i'm not sure just speculations.
and one more issue i have now with the new rom, in the dialer i used to enter numbers and the smart feature filter the phone numbers by contact names and numbers, now it's just do the filter by contact by default, and in order to make the filter by phone numbers i have to long press the 0 first and then enter the number, and my phone usage is based on searching the call history or dialed numbers by phone number filter. is there a way to fix this also?
thanks for any help

any other suggestion and help please? i'm stuck with the app installation i cant install anything now before i move apps

you can try with any apk from the market to move the apps to sd-card.. if it it isn´t effective i recomend flash an other rom and test if persists...

No Disk Space, Sandvold ICS

Hello,
I installed on my Desire with STOCK HBOOT Sandvold ICS in the Version 0.17.1.1. I choosed stock a2sd in the installation and active in terminal a2sd install. Then I restored my apps by Mybackup Root. I have now the problem if I want to install a app from the market I get the error message "No Disk space available" (or something like that, I'm using German language).
I have a 512mb ext4 partition and activate a2sd in Terminal. I searched the topic for problems like that and found that I have to install mount2sd. I did this, but it didn't help either.
What should I do now? I haven't enough posts to post in the sandvold ics topic.

Why? No.

If you can live with slower perfomance, active the stock a2sd again with answers: y, y ,y

I had exactly the same problem. At first I chose during flashing the option "Regular a2sdext" as it seems good to me. However, nothing has changed, it was not working for me at all. Then I reflashed again with "Stock a2sd" and after booting I went to terminal and activated it. I tried it with several combinations (in some of them I got the message "Insufficcient storage available" and I only had like 5 apps installed...). At the end I finally made it work with the combination that is recommended by Sandvold - Y N Y. After that I have been installing several apps and my internal memory does not go down almost at all :good:... I will see later, but for now, this is the best set up for me....

I had this problem
I had this problem with one application. When installing from market, there'd be a pop up message saying that there was no more storage space even though there was plenty.
A few hours later, everything went back to normal and I managed to install all the apps I wanted.
(Side question: have you guys updated to Sandvold ICS 0.18 Beta?! I have, but I lost root access, so now I'm trying to regain it. Could someone alert Sandvold? I'm a new member and I can't post to 'Android development forums")

what do you mean that you lost root access? I was planning to upgrade to 0.18 today (I flashed 0.17.1 yesterday, but I have an issue with my phone - I cannot recevie any phone calls - and I hope another flash might help it...), so I guess I will wait a while....

I have been testing 0.18 for a few hours now. Your phone issues should be resolved except you will encounter a new issue. You will lose superuser privilliges, to restore this, you have to install a zip of superuser through recovery.

I had 0.17.1.1 and all was well, it was tiny bit laggy, but overall it was cool.
i updated to 0.18, and I lost root access: the apps requesting SuperUser premissions were denied. (If you don't know what root access is, please google it)
As iyf said, you can flash the zip provided in Sandvold's official thread to restore root access. Check page 1601 or so for the flashable zip that will restore root access. I did so, and regained root access.
Then I got back all my apps as Sandvold 0.18 is my daily driver. But as I was using it, I noticed that whenever you change something in the system settings, it does not apply immediately. For example, I want my phone to lock immediately when it goes to sleep, well it simply doesn't. The power menu lost a few of the shortcuts it had in 0.17.1.1 (sound profiles...) and even if you restored them in the system settings, it won't change.
All in all, 0.18 is great step in terms of stability and reactiveness. No more scroll lag, apps open seamlessly, and no more 3G signal problems. The camera still isn't working though. Nevertheless, bizarrely the system lost its coherence: the system settings are not immediately applied and used, and the screen just won't lock. Those are the problems I encountered this afternoon.
I hope Sandvold takes a look at this thread as I cannot post on the official ROM thread coz I just registered on XDA.
(My Home button died today, even if I press it really hard, it won't respond, but I think it's a hardware issue)
EDIT: About the no more space issue, I had this today even though there was plenty of space left. I rebooted the phone and the warning disappeared.

of course I know what root is, otherwise I would not be here, right? ... I just did not understand what happened to you when you updated to 0.18.... Now I understand.... and regarding to your issues - in 0.17.1 I had exactly the same problem - my screen did not lock even I set it up correctly and I also had the problem with Home button, it simply did not work + I could not receive any phone calls... all of that was really annoying and I tried to find some help on sandvold's blog, without any success, I also tried their IRC, nobody helped me either. I did not want to do a full wipe again, but at the end I did (and now I have to set up everything as well ) but after full wipe, everything is working correclty... I can receive phone calls, my screen locks and home button is also working ... so I recommend you to do a full wipe, I am sure it will resolve your issues as well...

I also lost the root access with Beta 0.18(with full wipe),
(Beta 0.17 "root access" is OK!)
Superuser is out of order with this issue so that I can't activate A2SD
btw,
I have once tried the "AD2SDX", but didn't work normally:
I merged 1GB ext4 for it. And every time when I install about 10~15 Apps
A message on the top of the screen would tell me that I almost reached the limit.

By full wipe you mean:
1. wipe data/factory reset
2. wipe cache
3. wipe dalvik cache
4. wipe battery stats
right?
I always do that when I flash a new ROM... Anyway, will try again later and hope that it works.

yes, it is what I meant... I did full wipe before flashing and then another after it ... I do not wipe battery stats during that process,but it does not matter I hope it will work for you...

Whenever I got this message, I'd reboot or hot reboot and it would disappear. I can't remember if I had the same script.

you mean working with AD2SDX ?
Can I ask you how do you merge and format ext4 ?
Actually, I'm using MiniTool Partition Wizard, is it okay ?
cause I did reboot after I saw the message, but didn't work.
But I surely know that I can see "1GB" in "Apps" in "settings"
quite confusing

It's not okay, minitool doesn't do that correctly. Use 4ext recovery to partition your sd card.

Quite confusing indeed. I must say I'm no expert developer or programmer, heck I'm an engineering student. i just experiment on my Desire. But my experience in bricking/unbricking/flashing/etc tells me the following:
Minitool wizard apparently is not okay. I used it at first too but my Desire just could not read or detect the EXT3 partition I created. I tried EXT4. I tried different roms and scripts, none worked for me. (To be honest, I only tried 3 roms and a few scripts).
What I used is plain simple: Clockworkmod Recovery partitioning tools. It works for me!
First restore your SD card to full FAT32 configuration (I might suggest changing the basic storage unit from a few bytes to a few kilobytes as it might increase SD card responsiveness).
BACK IT UP, you will lose everything on it when you partition it in CWM.
Boot into recovery and select partition SD card (It is advised that the size of your partition does not exceed 1.5 GB as a few ROM developers have pointed out - not Sandvold though- I use 512 MB, which is more than enough for me). Set SWAP to 0 Bytes. (i have no idea what swap is, should google it, but most threads advise a swap of 0 B).
That's it, you have your partition.
I use CWM and Sandvold 0.18. If you use this setup, everything should be okay, at least it's ok on my phone.
I use stock a2sd when flashing Sandvold ICS ROMs.
I'm on stock HBOOT, S-OFF, and using the regular Kernel that comes with Sandvold 0.18. (I tried tiamat, but the battery dies after half a day of use!)

just to add - I have Amon RA Recovery and I partitioned my SD card by that, it was also working without any problems everytime I did it...
@CzarD - I am glad to hear that the wipe helped you...

You should try out the Amarullz or INT2SD from the Aroma installer. I have INT2SD and I have 1,3G of free space (2G EXT partition)

As I know, swap in linux is somewhat like virtual memory in Windows.
Will be launched when the system is in low memory.
That's exactly everything I know
I'm now Using Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4, stock HBOOT, S-OFF
And just follow your way to full wipe then install the system again(stock a2sd)
I still can't get the root access. thus, I can't activate a2sd in terminal
PS: with Beta 0.18
But Beta 0.17.1 currently work!
