Roms List - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Any Roms that combat the reknowned small internal storage like that let you install apps direct to sd card without any data on the internal memory

You surely don't need THAT much storage unless you're downloading the entire android market. I'm sure oxygen would suffice, if you use the SPL (hboot) that comes with it that is, you'll have 332mb of internal storage.

I use the Data++ table and GingerWally 1.5. I get 210 MB free for apps and the stock GB ROM from HTC (stable, no Data2SD etc.) + various small enhancements. Right now i have some 50 apps installed (12 of which are games like NFS - Shift) and i still have 92 MB left on the Data partition. Oxygen with its 332 MB free should be more than enough for any well-organized user.

Answer to your question is yes, Roms with data2sd, data2whatever, and data2ext all use various scripts to install apps on ext partition of sdcard, leaving nand for other tasks.
Swyped on my Htc Desire running on Supernova Extreme - Gingerbread goodness with 2 GB of Internal memory

I can only barely have 4 games installed n thts with to sd so ye n tried oxygen it very nearly ruined my phone. Does cyanogen have something like wat u said? Htc sense would be good to

Oxygen is a really good rom - it should be rock solid.
Pretty much every Rom here has some sort of system to create extra space - either by transferring portions of the app to the sd card, or by shrinking the size of the Rom so creating more space on internal. For the second method, you need to change the hboot to take advantage of the smaller Rom.
Have a look at the threads, there are a few discussing 'what Rom are you using' and also the index on the development section.

it looks like the original..but has a optimized-for-speed data to ext

I run the runny AIO 5.0.3 nu sebastiaan15. If you are s -off and have a 1gb ext4 partition on your sd choose the AD2SDX. I have around 700 MB left for my apps

Base is 1.33.401.2, ROM is deodexed that is why size is small as compared to hdpi devices..

The ROM is based on European version so it should include Spanish as well. About the screenshots, since it is a stock 2.3.3 with Sense 2.1 so that's why didn't include any

How much internal storage do u have now? after flashing the ROM? is ap2sd script working fine for you?
If interested you can be my tester for future releases
Edit: Actually i want to make this ROM for you guys & it will give u enough FREE RAM with good speed as well.. check this Ginger S

You have to do as jikantaru says here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17617165&postcount=1
in order to get freed up space...and you'll get a lot!!
I just tried it quickly this morning. When I saw the "only" 60Mo of free RAM, I didn't search how to improve it. So I didn't use Jikantaru tip.
Because jikantaruROM (euro version) gives me 120Mo of free RAM (and working well), it was obvious that I'm going on to use it.
To fshami : If you want testing, I'm your man !
you get low internal memory cause rom is deodexed. thats the reason why I didnt deodex my roms. You'll only get 62mb available storage in internal memory. Unless there is a compatible data2sd in wildfire s that would be great. Ext memory card partition used as internal storage. like 512mb or 1gb.

AP2SD Support is included in the ROM. Did u try flashing it with the required partitioning?
I know apps2sd support, like link2sd, so no fun in there.

I know that you know that what is ap2sd. Just wanted to check if u tried my version to check that the script is working fine..
nope, cause I have a lot of apps and nand backup takes to long. And I have fully customized my wildfire s, so I'm not testing this yet until I get some problems with my current one.
I tried again your ROM with Jikantaru's tip.
I've got 136Mo of free RAM. Amazing !
I'll beta test it. I don't use the Marvel as my daily phone so I can try new ROMS and really put it through it's paces. I'm installing it now.
Any tips so far? I'm tearing out a few HTC apps already, so it's not unadulterated.
did we get link2SD or data2SD going?

Are you talking about system flash memory or system RAM? There is plenty of RAM to run whatever we have going. It's system flash memory that is in short supply. I think we need to figure out what HTC junk can be jettisoned without harming the rest of the system. That would save some. Plus we really just need to move cache and Contacts and Gmail to the SD for there to be plenty of space.
---------- Post added at 08:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 PM ----------
There doesn't seem to be a Contacts app. Did I destroy this in my crazed HTC removal phase of installation or is it really missing?
I'm still trying to figure out what the best method of moving data to the SD is. I don't want everything on it, but definitely most Apps and even cache would be good.

lolz contact app is there in the rom, may be u deleted it while cleaning the ROM.
I included ap2sd script in rom, will also try to check others like data2sd or link2sd.. How is ur experience so far with the ROM?
It's pretty good to work with. I'm going to go back to test it just the way you meant for it to be and then see if I can get it running well like that before I tear out the HTC components.
I'm jumping between your ROM and the CM7 build by alquez which shows great promise and hopefully eventually what we get to run on this. A CM build for this phone would make it competitive with many much more expensive ones.
I'm reflashing now and will update again when I'm back up!
You said that you already have the a2sd script in your ROM, so which A2SD app do we need to run? I didn't see one already installed, but it might be running the stock A2SD app too right?
I'm going to add a link2SD app or data2SD app any suggestions?
_________
okay, the compass and gyroscope isn't working. orientation sensor and compass are not registering data it appears. That's going to screw up a lot since it means no map orientation and it also means no screen rotation to landscape for youtube, etc.
added Jikantaru's method for cache2SD and now have 123mb of free system memory. I'll see what it acts like but that should be enough for running some required apps from the system mem and for syncing gmail and contacts.
I'm actually going to put my sim in this phone now and use it!
also Swype keyboard on this is swell. really works great. Still huge problems with flash memory though and I'm constantly trying to move what I can to the SD card. It really needs a lin2SD or another solution.
_______
just tested pretty thoroughly using Sensor List and the Orientation Sensor, Axex Accelerometer, Magnetic field sensor, Gravity sensor, Linear Acceleration Sensor, and Rotation Sensor are all not registering. I also checked them in Elixir and they report nothing. Any idea's about what's going wrong? I wouldn't think that these would be affected by the ROM. Maybe it's the cache to SD or something additional.

[Q] miui rom questions

got a few questions about miui roms , at the moment i'm using miui us .
is it possible to use data2sd eg expand the internal memory ? (do any of the english miui roms support data 2 sd ? ) does data 2 sd cause any instability in miui roms or loss of data etc ? and is there flashable zip thing which does data 2 sd configrations etc thing for me , like what droidzone provides with his gingerburst rom (can i use the same zip for this rom ?)
just want a noob proof way to add the extra internal memory etc
thanks
Check the thread for MIUI XJ. There exits a DATA2SD-Version (named: X-Part) which seems to be the of the thre versions (according to user reactions). As long as you have an SD card with at least Class 6, you should not have any problems with DATA2SD.
What you need to do to get this version working, will be posted in the thread.
Search in market "S2E" and your done!

new to the g2...best ics rom?

i see there's been other threads that have asked the same thing....however, things like this change on a daily basis....just wanted to get an idea of where to start on an ics rom for the g2. thanks in advance for those who respond
also, if you do recommend something, any heads up on what trouble you've had with it.
They're all good honestly. For AOSP, Virtuous Quattro is heavily outdated, and the rest perform (very) similarly. Camera works, but it hasn't been completely figured out yet. Other than that, it seems like most of the issues have been figured out. In my experience with Andromadus I had absolutely no issues.
For Sense, again, they all perform similarly. They are somewhat faster when compared to the AOSP counterparts, but the camera doesn't work at all. Atm I'm running Sensewich B6 and it's very smooth/fast. No issues so far.
If you're happy with a possible buggy Rom go for andro test. It is far smoother than the stable release (B2).

lol, stable release (Beta 2)
As crestofawave said there's only minor differences about performances from one to another and there are only few issues left.
I'm running CM9 Unofficial and i'm really happy with it. People seem to be happy with the lastest Andromadus too. And if you want Sense, don't hesitate, Sensewich B6 is really good.
where can i download andromadus v11 from?? i'm running GB 2.3 on my G2 and its acting up now for some reason.

Go to development area & just find the rom you want to try. As far as not knowing what to do, how lost are you? I see youre new here. Backing up? Flashing? Let me know
Are there any miui ics roms out there suitable for use as a daily driver? I'm currently using strawmetals miui rom.
I use the one in my signature and I much enjoy it, it's fast, it's stable the camera/camcorder works, and the dataswap mod makes multitasking very smooth.
ics roms are too laggy once u add more apps on cuz you run out of ram fast. it sucks ive tried cm9/andro/mimicry. Its what you have to give up inorder to have ics on your phone.

Not the case with the ICS Rom I'm using in my signature, and I have 150 apps installed (as per the 'optimizing # of 150' when I clear the dalvik cache and have zip align feature enabled). Though it seems to *need* the latest *.19 radio to use, but you don't need the DZ hboot since it's quite a light rom in comparison to other ICS roms. Works best with sd-ext and 64/96 dataswap option.
mimicry was the fastest for me, but i couldn't record audio in some apps like evernote. what i did was flash quadsense and THEN mimicry w/o formatting partitions. don't know why but this solves the problem. like the user above said, the new radio is necessary--i saw instant increase in performance after the flash.

what does sd-ext and 64/96 dataswap do and what audience is it ideally for? do you have to reinstall your apps after a flash of a different rom? btw, do you have problems with the launcher app drawer taking long to load? i tried both nova and apex, but both are plagued by the same problems. i tried the tweak to keep launcher in memory and it helped but i still have a slow down with initial opening the app drawer.

DataSwap compliments SD-Ext, with his rom if an sd-ext partition exists on the SD card it'll automatically move the content of /data/app and /data/app-private to /sd-ext/app and /sd-ext/app-private. Unlike most sd-ext apps it does not move the cache/dalvik-cache to the SD Card as that would only slow things down.
With DataSwap it places a swapfile on the /data partition (hence using the space freed up by sd-ext and splitting the usage between two devices rather than all on the /data partition), which is much faster than using swap on the SD card, although it will still use swap on the SD card if present, will just add it to the total swap (but will rarely be used as ~54MB seems to be the sweet spot with Eliterom). 96MB is used for people who tend to be heavy multi-taskers for extra smoothness.
I do not have a problem with the apex loader taking too long to load with at least the 64MB DataSwap mod applied, and the app list is quick in the drawer as well.
IF you switch to a different rom, then naturally you're going to want to wipe everything before flashing a brand new rom, as not wiping between different kernels/roms/systems is just asking for trouble (though upgrading to a new EliteMod Rom or Kernel usually does not require a wipe unless he specifies it in the change log).
PS: With sd-ext used, you DO NOT move your apps to SD card, as /data/app* is mapped to /sd-ext/app* and you are already using that partition on the SD card for your non-system apps, moving to SD card will instead move it to the FAT32 portion of the card and performance would be noticeably degraded.
The G2/DZ isn't exactly ram friendly for ICS so swapping, whether it be with a mod like DataSwap or a swap partition on your SD card is advised for the best performance, otherwise you run into the sluggishness or forced closes you described when memory starts to cap out.

Internal MB and SYS MB

This question might have been asked to death ., but still i would like to get a real answer. my phone shows that the system ROM has 367 mb and 110 free .and my internal 446 mb and 75 mb is free
if i find a ROm lets say 150 mb would that increase my internal MB .or the sys ROm is dedicated lets say 450MB.,and that is it.so if i use a ROM 150 MB or 400MB the Internal will not be effected ??
anyway so what if I install a basic ROM with nothing much there ,.no apps ...etc and i install the apps i want what ROm with that be that runs and stable ,one that built using Android 2.3.3. since these i can tether ...from my phone .

The smaller the rom size, the more initial internal storage you will have. A 350MB rom would have less space than a sticks and stones 90MB rom.
If you flashed a basic rom like you described, and started to install apps, you would see your internal memory get smaller with each app. However, most roms have a2sd baked in. Once you partition your sd card and upgrade your ext to the rom specifications, the apps will be placed on the space on your sd card, not the phone.
thank you for the answer.

[Q] Wich RUU or Radio for my Desire Z ???

Hi, sorry if duplicate
I have a Htc Desire Z (but dont know wich one really : eacause with different rom it changes the name as ; Vision T-Mobile Desire etc)
Acctually i am runnig on flinnycm101_vision_25_test4. But sometimes its lag and freez, so i heared about Radio (kind of driver for device on mobile) but i dont know wich one install !!! please help .
Otherthings please :
I am looking for a guid to learn how to create a partition ext3 or ext4 that allows to install all appz to SD - Card ; i changing the rom every 3 or 5 month but never got a fulid one and always my memory built-in got full after 1 month of use, so i hope to find a way to install all appz on other partition and have lot memory built-in on my phone !!! please help also .
I put 4 screenshot of my setting .
Thanks and sorry again if duplicate
Some body to help !!!!
Its rather doubtful that changing radios will help your lag problem but you can find links to info here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43195539
Also it doesn't matter the radio you choose in the sense that they are all compatible, most often one of the newest is best but it differs for everyone.
As for apps2ext, just copy contents of SD card to PC, then boot to recovery and format there, both clockwork and 4ext have the option to do so. But 4exts is a bit faster and easier.
Then you would need an app2ext script depending on ROM you're running it may be built in and toggleable in settings. Try maybe elitemod cm7 or ICS for an easy built in option or cyanmobileX
Otherwise you can get an app of the market to do it for you easily as well

All will work as they are all compatible with the HTC vision, which one works best is hard to say so you need to try a few out to see what works.
The SD card repartitioning is easy, if you're confused I'm sure there are many YouTube videos out there, just search android partition SD recovery, it will be almost the same for all devices. As for adding apps2ext that might be a bit more confusing so I suggest a few ROMs that have it built in, just go to settings and choose apps to ext
