anyone???........

flash clockworks latest recovery instead. can be found in a zip file to flash or can be found in the newest version of unrevoked. the recovery developer has a full list on his site which im sure you can find if you search for it and you can flash that.
once you flash that do a full wipe of the system from the recovery menu. and flash any zip. it should work.

Could be that those roms use a2sd+ and you will need a ext3 partition to use them. Have a search on here to find how to partition your sd card.

a2SD+ is optional.
for it to work you need an ext2/3/4 partition on your sd card depending on what rom you are using. i think a full wipe should do the trick. im just trying to get the user to update to the latest recovery image.
Edit: P.S. in wrong section of forum. dont mind helping but it should be posted in Q & A.

I got the same problem but mine is crazy reboots on non sense roms.
I think it's the kernel that's not stable on some handsets.

Ext4 questions :(

HI to all buddies!!!!
i have some questions about ext 4 partition...
i have the 4ext recovery and it says this about my phone:
"""sistem: ext4
data: ext 4
cache ext 4
sd-ext: ext3""""
1-need i to convert sd ext to ext 4 for better usage of my device if i have installed honeysense (maded on ext4)????
2- whats the exactly function of the "sd-ext"
3-whats the exactly function of ext3 and ext4???
maybe are silly questions but i need to solve my doubt please!

........bump

Hi Sergi I see there is a tool to convert to ext4. I haven't noticed any difference between ext3 and ext4 ROMs. Now I am trying Virtuous Unity Pyramid. It's the real Sensation Rom, seems very good.

Hi!
1. you don't NEED to. You can and maybe it will give you slightly better performance if you are using a rom right now that makes use of sd-ext partitions.
2.
"sd-ext" partitions are just additional partitions on your sdcard (besides your fat32 partition). You only need to create them if you install a rom that makes use of them, otherwise they are useless.
3.
ext3 and ext4 are just different file systems you can format your partitions with.
Ext4 is theoretically faster than ext3. The speed difference can be marginal to very big. This depends on the usage.

[Q] Low disk space with Oxygen--what's the solution?

I've been running the latest version of Oxygen and my available internal memory wanders between 13MB and 18MB and always has. The same thing happened with Cyanogen before. A friend of mine with a slightly newer (12 month instead of 18) Desire has well over 100MB of free space. We haven't done anything differently except that I tried several ROMs before Oxygen and he went straight there.
After rooting with unrEVOked about 14 months ago I tried Leedroid (Froyo), then AuTrax, then Gingervillain, then Cyanogen, now Oxygen. I might've forgotten one. At some point I partitioned the SD card to use A2SD.
Currently reading as....

Mod version Oxygen-2.1.6
Build number GRJ22
I have all apps on the SD card apart from widgets and Swype. Before every new ROM I wiped all data, dalvik cache, and battery statistics. I use Cachemate and even erasing the data from nearly every app (except LauncherPro and other essentials) still leaves me with under 20MB free.
I've seen this question a few times but never a solution except "Use Data2SD!"
I'd rather not have to do that, and I can see Oxygen working just great on another Desire so I know I shouldn't have to.
But what's the solution?
Thanks in advance!

Go for S-OFF with alpharev.nl
Then change stock hboot (149MB) to Oxygen r2 hboot (about 340MB). Then make 1GB ext4 partition for A2SD+, and use script for moving data part of largest games and maps apps to ext4.
About 150 apps (largest games and nav apps) and 90MB of free internal mem with dalvik cache on internal mem for lag free experience.
This combination beats any other's including data2sd. Period.

You have the exact same apps installed, received the exact same e-mails, browsed the exact same web pages the exact same amount of times, got to the exact same place on every game, have the exact same settings for every part of android/apps and have the exact same contacts as each other?
All these things use disk space.

Imho, it's completely senseless to use a2sd if you already changed to oxygen hboot.

Ext Partition isnt used

Hey,
I am using insertcoin on my desire and have a 1gb Ext Partition.
Titanium Backup says the half of it is used but my phone says my phone space is full.
Why? How can i make the Ext Partition use?
Metin

The fact that you got Insertcoin installed proves that you have a working EXT partition. Now if you are using the CM7r2 version of the ROM, be advised that the dalvik cache was not moved to the ext partition for speed considerations. That's probably the part that is full on your phone. I use FreeSpace app on the market to view every partition. It's better than the one built inside Titanium Backup imo.

No i am using a2sd and want the apps to be installed to the Ext partition.
Ive tried link2sd but this makes some apps like opera unstartable

They should be installed to the ext part out of the box. Although it's been a long time I cant remember if I'm right. And yeah using another app could just mess the script baadnews implemented for the rom.

And what i have to do?

What partition type do you have? Ext3 or Ext4? I remember using EXT4 with Insertcoin.

I use Ext4

I run the CM7r2 version of InsertCoin. Your apps are automatically installed on the EXT4 partition BUT not all the app is stored there so some of the internal memory is still used when you install an app.
How many apps have you installed?

I have 60 apps or so, but i see the apps folder is linked to Ext. My data/data folder is about 60mb, would it help to move it to Ext? But where are the other 60mb used on Internal? Which folder would best to move?
How i move it?

I believe moving anything will cause problems.

Are there any suggestions? I have a 1gb Ext Partition but i can only use half of it?

I ran this on Sandvold's ICS with a class 4 SDcard. This has a flashanle zip. But as you can see in the thread you have to manually install it. I tried the ICS zip with a fresh InsertCoin flash and it falied. I have not attempted to install it manually yet as I have been focused on installing and learning to live with s Linux OS...
Try this.
Edit
I meant to say the download from sandvold's site for the ICS ROM is a flashable zip. It appears that you need to manually install it for other ROMs.

I think the libs of apps like opera are very big.
I think it would help if i link them to the system partition.
Link2sd link them to SD but would it be possible to link them to system?

Read this...
http://docs.insertcoin-roms.org/master/en-US/misc/free-space-without-data2ext.html
I remember someone made a little script based on this to make it easy. There was a thread about it.

I ve read that moving data to Ext isnt good because it damals the SD but can i do it same way to system Partition?

Probably not. From what I understand, when the phone boots it reads the system partition first before it reads the SD card. If you link system to sd-ext, I believe the phone will not boot at all as the system files cannot be accessed during the initial startup since they are on sd. I'm not an expert but I haven't heard of anyone moving system to ext.
If you are really after more storage than the Sense hybrid, check the Supernova ROM. It's the official GB rom from HTC with a lot of space for apps. Downside is it's the old Sense.

I mean a symbolic /data/data/*/lib=>system (or may to SD, but system would better) because the libs are big.
I have tried link2sd for it but a2sd deleted all libs from SD.

Memory Question

Hi guys,
I need some help :S. I'm not sure what I did wrong but for some reason my Desire doesn't have any space left. All it has left is like 15 MB. Now I'm wondering what i could have done wrong. The ROM currently running on my phone is : Insert Coin CM7 1.0.8 Stable

Obviously it's the MTD /data partition which is mounted as /data. 147 is expected to be total space.

Why did you flash cm7 version in stock hboot? Flash cm7 or cm7/r2 from alpharev and reflash the Rom... Of course s-off required

well I flashed CM7 because ppl said i should do . I'm a bit confused now :S what did I do wrong and what do I have to do and in what order ?
Thanks in advance !

You basically want to flash the right ROM type for the right HBOOT you have.
Insertcoin CM7r2 Version for CM7r2 Hboot
Insertcoin Stock Version for Stock Hboot (which is what you have)
Why is that? It's because of the different space allocation between hboots, the dev needs to implement a different set of "tricks" so to speak to install the rom.

I see. So i Have to wipe everything and redo it ?
Actually I was anyways about to get a new ROM ^^. So if i change my ROM to Runny ROM should I flash the CM7 r2 HBOOT and I'll be fine ?
Oh BTW:
When I boot my Desire into recovery I always get the msg :
"CID incorrect!
Update Fail!
Do you want to reboot device?
<VOL UP> Yes
<VOL DOWN> NO"
Is there anything to worry about ?

Post your hboot. Are you S-off or S-on?

Which recovery do you currently use?
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk

CWM-AlphaRev Recovery v2.5.1.8

Could it be that you have some update .zip on your sd card that it tries to install when you go to hboot?
Since you are s-off I would recommend that you change your recovery to 4EXT Recovery. Check my sig if you are interested.
About the Runny ROM, I'm not sure about the requirements. Check the thread. It will say if CM7r2 hboot is a requirement. I think it also supports Stock Hboot. A fast sd card with an EXT partition would be mandatory for the ROM afaik

Alright I'll try 4EXT Recovery & CM7 r2 & Runny ROM I'll let you know if it worked

Everything worked super fine, thanks for all of your help
