[Q] How to flash RunnyDroid

Hey I would really like to flash this ROM but I am a noob at rooting/flashing as I just rooted my phone. So I was wondering if somebody would help me by giving me a step by step on what exactly I am supposed to do to have this ROM on my desire.
Thanks

Thank you very much. I'll try it out and tell you what happens.

I think I will stick to CM 7.1.0 for some time before trying RunnyDroid.

Very simple, just follow the steps in post and ready, now more than has the graphical installer. : P

I don't know, I'll backup my CM ROM then try it.
1 question though, how long will it take to do this?

How big does it show the 1st partition? And how big is your SD card?
Sent from my Wildfire S using Tapatalk 2 Beta-4

my SD Card is 4GB
and it shows 3.37GB
i mentioned it wrong i had made 256MB partition ext2
hope you could help

I don't know if this will work. But you can try it.
Reboot into recovery,
Connect it by USB,
Go to mounts and storage
Unmount sd-ext (only if you see it)
Mount USB storage (don't press anything else now)
Check mini partition tool if it sees the 2nd partition.

Yes you can. But you need to be rooted to use it. You can use clockworkmod or mini partition tool (windows) to do it.

I'm not sure about this but you should be able to install any ruu that has a software number higher than yours. If it doesn't work, make a goldcard and try again.
You can overclock if you flash a custom overclockable kernel

1. Revolutionary only, unrevoked will not work with your hboot.
2. Use 4ext recovery it's better than clockworkmod. Revolutionary will flash CWM but after rooting and rebooting just install 4ect recovery updater app from Play Store and flash recovery through it.
3. With 4ext partitioning is better, partitions are better aligned then in CWM, and you can choose which type on ext partition you want (ext3 or ext4).
But be careful, stock kernel doesn't support ext4 so you will need to flash some other kern if you want it.

+1...This is the proper way to answer this Ques. 4ext is the best recovery i've used and its so much easier to handle ROM management and has very powerful partitioning tools and some advanced features not found in other recoveries.
And for S-off, revolutionary will do the trick.

As stated: revolutionary is the easiest/fastest way to S-off

When you enter recovery there's an option 'tools' and inside 'partition sd'. After pressing yoi will be promped for sizes and types of partitions, choose fat32 for the first, and ext4 for first sd-ext (1-1.5GB not more) without second sd-ext and no swap.

Jst one more Que..say I made partitioning in 4ext recovery and I decided to move to CWM recovery. My SD ext partition still remain on SD card???
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app

It will, but you don't want to move back to cwm..if it's because of ROM manager, ditch that, it will break your phone.

ICS Sandvoid on Desire - FC / Wait / Kill
I flashed my HTC desire (Stock HBOOT) with ICS (Sandvoid) 0.15.
Installed smoothly. Then I ran a2sd install and answered y/y/y (wanted to see how far I can take it
Immediate observation was that when I run some app (facebook/youtube and even some system apps) it used to hand throw up a screen that app is not responding and option to WAIT / KILL etc
If I wait usually the app would come back but it was nagging too much.
My question is if I get a class 6+ SD card would this issue disappear?
By the way, it was beautiful to see ICS on my desire and I want to go there again.
For now shifted to Oxygen 2.3.2 with HBOOT oxygen r2. wondering if it also has an option to move data 2 ext inbuilt? tried a2sd install did not work (I know its inbuilt etc etc)

You need app2sd which can move your application and data to the partition or you use INT2SD which mounts the 1GB partition as internal memory where all the installations will be made. But therefore you need another ROM which supports that.

On factory build that's rooted the only thing that can be used is link2sd app from the market because it's kernel doesn't have init.d support. Flash some other kernel and some a2sd method (for your case with factory build I suggest darktremor a2sd), or choose some custom rom with built-in a2sd script.

i went to search for kernals and darktrmor. i found this http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=158809660835039 but it says installing DT on stock rm is not supported for 2.3.3., and also not for EXT4 partitions...i have stock version and GB.. still can i install it anyway or i have to install a custom ROM??

Flash some other kernel from recovery, any of Droidzone for example, and you should get ext4 support.
After that flash boot.img that I attached you via fastboot (I modded for init.d support while I was using factory firmware. and then without reboot go to recovery and flash Darktremor a2sd script. After that reboot the phone and if it boots follow Darktremor instruction for a2sd that you found.

Last time i checked you needed to have s-off to mtd partition remap. With the old htc wildfire buzz we have a custom version of clockworkmod recovery that we used for repartitioning the mtd partitions, but its been a long time since i have done it.

Make sure u have Stock hboot and i think Data++ hboot will work as well. U must have an ext partition on ur sdcard for a2sd (guide in my sig) then full wipe in recovery and flash the rom. Simples
Im sure user sudkcoce will post a reply here coz he prob knows more bout this rom than most :silly: he'll be able to tell u the pro's & cons, but overall its very good.

What is the size of the ext4 partition that you have?
