Is there any desire roms out there that doesnt require a ext partition these days?
I just want a custom rom without the need to always use that one sd card to boot and im not really much of an app user anyway.
a lot of the apps2sd roms will go on without an ext partition - but you'll just have limited space, usually about 73-130mb of the internal storage...
Looking in the android development thread it seems that most of them listed ext partiton as a requirement due to parts of system files are also in the ext partition required to boot.
Check with the dev of the roms for apps2sd ones that you might like... I am sure I saw an 'apps2sd killer' script too once so you might be able to apply that
the 2.1 ROMS usually goes well whitout the app2sd but its highly recommended
try CM7

Just delete the ext partition and the rom such as miui for example will detect that there is no extra partion an so will disable the a2sd scrript

If you do go down the road of partitioning as you put it
Save yourself some future hassle and purchase a class 10 memory card and read about changing your recovery program to 4Ext Recovery 2.1.0.

Hi! I have used the Revolutionary: S-OFF & Recovery Tool and got my phone S-off, rooted and with a custom recovery (ClockworkMod). Now I want to install an app that alows to transfer apps to SD without all the limitation of the native Android 2.3 app. I would prefer to keep my stock HTC rom and not having to instal a new rom. Which app do you think is the best for this?
I have searched a lot, and Link2SD https://market.android.com/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD&feature=search_result seem to be the best. Can anyone confirm or suggest better apps? What are their addvantages/disadvanages comparing to Link2SD?
Thank you a lot!
Yea that app is quite ok for beginners, but the best solution would be a init.d script that symlinks like on any custom rom.
However the init.d folder is not initialized by the stock kernel on boot, so if you are not up to tinkering too much the above solution should be ok

Disadvanages are there's no linking of data to sd and libs need to relink on boot.
Data of every app remain on data (user) partition and soon or later you will get warning low space.
I currently have installed 135 apps, 128 linked to sd and 7 on sd, and have free 52mb.
There's no better app.
Better is rom with data2sd

Gingerbread 2.3.3 RUU Rooted S-Off with Link2SD partition 512MB
There are rooted Stock HTC roms pinned in the Everything Desire Section where you could just pick a ROM that supports Data2SD (like SuperNova or LeeDroid or Oxygen). I'm not sure if Data2SD works on CWM, but it won't hurt to try flashing the Data2SD script on top of the ROM itself.
If you use an app to "transfer to SD", you will still run into "memory space low" problems soon. I have 180 apps on my phone, and still have 1.3 Gb of free space because my Data2SD partition is 2Gb. Never encountered lags or bootloops (I'm using Oxygen, as my sig shows)
Any more experiences with Link2SD? Thank you!
I tried this app, it is performing not bad so far, this is good choice if you want to have stock ROM and more internal space Thanks.
I´m quite happy with it too. Working 100%. Highly recommended!
My question essentially is Im curious just HOW MUCH usable INTERNAL MEMORY will you get in total if you root and install a custom rom with A2SD+ I saw and heard someone saying you can get 1gb internal memory for all of your apps? of course due to having partitioning your SD card, how many apps can you install and run ?

whats the difference between data2sd and a2sd+ which one is best to allow you to have the most amount of internal memory to install apps possible? my friend has got a htc desire with a miui rom and has installed over 300 apps ? how? i wanna know which is the best way to get most amount of memory ?

With a2sd+ internal memory still decreases because not all app data is moved to sd-card, some ramains in the internal memory.
data2sd moves entire data folder to ext3/4 partition on sdcard so nothing in internal memory get decreased (maybe something related to dalvik cache?).
That partition can be very big (I have 512GB - not much but I'm too lazy to repartition/reinstall). I saw some users are having as big as 2GB. I guess it can go more.
I'm runnning droidzone's Supernova 2.0.2.0 and I'm having 150 apps there and still 40 MB of free space. ROM is stable, fast and comes with data2sd metioned above.
i really appreciate you clearing that up sounds great i was curious if you know or if anyone knows for that matter wether there is any sense 3.0 or sense 3.5 roms with the data 2 sd script in it ? if not what are the best data2sd running roms for the htc desire?

Cool3D AceS v3 has a data2ext version.
Sent from my HTC Original Desire using Tapatalk
data2sd is better imho. It is constantly being developed by Sibere here and still well supported. Not to mention it was first.
I am unsure why sibere's work gets so overlooked all the time.
Im using CM7.1 ROM and it supports A2SD. Partitioned my SD card thru recovery using clockwork and installed S2ext. Set one of the extesions to 512 mb. Already Installed 43 user apps and (126 apps including system apps), but still i have 111 mb free memory. A totally great boast to my Desire as compared before on a stock whereas doing a hard reset every two weeks due to low memory issues.
is data2ext the same as data2sd? and is there a clear step to step guide on how to get the Cool3D AceS v3 ?
rootSU - Tell me the reason WHY you say data2sd is best?
it depends from the size of the apps, if you have root, then try to put the dalvik cache to ext3, too

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
EQDKP 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.

Not when i have a 32gb card... plus, with an ext3 partition, i can backup that sd card in linux.
In other words, when you have the extra space, use it!

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)

I'll root her wildfire s in some days. So can you told me how can i root it.
And need i to stay on stock rom? What is the best rom or kernel or whatever other things.
Thanks
I am using stock rom too.
There are many roms like cm9 which is ICS build and others are cm10 which are jelly bean builds..
You can find roms on android devlopement thread.
And for internal storage tweak first of all you need to partition your sdcard.
FAT32 :remaining
EXT3/EXT4 : 1 GB ll be enough
LINUX SWAP : 512 MB
linux swap partition isnt madatory except link2sd.but you hv 16 GB memory card so make that partition too.it works as backup RAM.its 512 MB because wildfire s has 512 MB RAM.
ALL PARTITIONS SHOULD BE PRIMARY AND YOU CAN MAKE THEM BY MINIPARTITIONAL TOOL ON WINDOWS.
There are many tweaks for internal memory link2sd,mounts2sd and int2ext+
Best one is int2ext+ but for that you need custom rom with init.d suppport..
Tell me if u need more help.good luck

haha.okay man dnt worry.
so for rooting.follow this tutorial:
http://www.htcwildfiresblog.com/2012/03/guide-to-rooting-htc-wildfire-s-235-s.html
in this tutorial first you need to make account from htcdev.com and then follow instructions on that page:
(IN TUTORIAL YOU FIND STEP 1,UPDATE YOUR BOOTLOADER BUT IF YOUR PHONE HAS LATEST UPDATE 2.26 ,THEN YOU DONT NEED TO UPDATE IT.YOU WILL SEE THAT INSTUCTION ON HTCDEV.COM PAGE)
then,
download rom manager from play store and install clockworkmod recovery.( its necessery to flash rom,mods etc)
and most important, after flashing custom recovery(clockworkmod) make backup of your current rom.because if you want to come back to your stock rom,it ll be helpfull.
about roms:
there are stable cm9 as well as cm10 roms.
cm9 is very stable,no major bugs except little lag on camera ( negligible) and camcorder record at 15 fps.
cm10 has some bugs but you can see jellyking rom on android devlopement page.people said its very stable.so you can use it if you want taste of jelly bean.
and there are another option like MIUI which has best UI. and sense 3.5 roms.
thats all.
i am using my stock rom because i like my sense best,stable,not a single bug and works good.
