[Q] Best a2sd method and script? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know I probably seems like a noob because I have like 1 post but I just havent got arpund to posting until now... Anyway
I have an HTC Desire running cm7 and I was wondering what the best method of obtaining more internal memory is? I have an 8gb sd card with 500mb set as sd-ext, but I dont know how to fully use it can anyone elaborate on the use of these scripts?
I havent seen any really upto date posts on this so I thought I would ask, theres bound to be a thresd somewhere but you know...

in my opinion is #Typhon Data2SDInstaller for Supernova Classic 2.0+ (Version 4.0)

don't know whether that method works on cm7
a couple of things that i know of:
1. S-OFF (search revolutionary) and change partition table to something like cm7r2, check alpharev. your internal memory goes up from stock (only 147MB) to 287MB.
2. flash an A2SD script such as Darktremor to make the most of your ext partition. it won't appear as extra internal memory, just tricks apps to move them there. keep all your apps on internal though i.e. don't manually move them to SD.
3. a different option, separate from A2SD is a data2sd script, don't know much about these, but have a look if they interest you. they extend the internal memory (adding your actual internal + ext)
and nandroid backup before trying any of this.
should have plenty of space after that!

I would combine 1 and 2.

Yes, but as title suggests, it's designed to work only with Supernova. If you want a generic data2sd installer, visit Sibere's data2sd thread.

...and enlarge your sd-ext probably to 1GB
I wouldn't recommend data2sd on 500MB, pretty pointless. If you're going to do it, do it properly

i have S-OFF already and ill look at the partition tables thing too see if that would help thanks, i tried simple2ext or something like that and i had to restore my nandroid is it functioned horribly so ill also look at darktremor
EDIT:
Ill extend it to 1gb then if you think its needed i have like 4gb free on my sd and i could get a 16gb if i could be bothered...

It certainly seems a waste of the script, lol.

Anyone willing to talk me through flashing the hboot from alpharev? ive done things along these lines before and i have half-bricked my phone before so any helpers?

I have an faq you can read, which will help. Then if you're still unclear...
Its the adb and fastboot faq via the link in my signature (guides etc). Just skiup the adb stuff as its not relevant.
First read and understand that. Dont do anything yet. Just read

I know how to use fastboot its just that alpharev says flash then wipe cache which is fine but then says "wipe everything and restore" I dont really get that?

I am very happy with CM7 and an ext4 1gb partition made useable for apps and dalvik moved by this tool: S2E (search for it in Android Market)

You should be fine with nandroid backup, flash hboot, nandroid restore.
It never hurts to format system, cache and data via recovery (cwm based) or via fastboot commands

Thanks for clarifying that, I just didn't understand why wipe then restore ... But they just say that to make sure the chances of error are extremely minimal and so it's not needed thanks again I'll flash it tomorrow night

INT2SD is the best d2sd ever. So if you enjoy using cm7, just flash INT2SD script.

I use S2E for CM7. just download from market -really easy to set up and works great.

This is the best solution. it also enables the necessary speed teaks (you can choose) such as journal off, perfect mount and the sd speed tweak

[Q] Can't get Cool Kingdom to work smooth

I would like to use Cool Kingdom, but what ever I do, include full wipe, I cant get Cools roms to work smooth. Everything is working slow and get hangups.
Have really good space all over and about 100 mb free memory
I really want this rom to work.
Any ideas???
hi there
which hboot do you have?
what class micros sd card do you have?
first you need to use gparted and delete all partitions on your card( backup whatever you need on the card)
then remove all partitions
create the fat32
create the ext4
format both in gparted
now put the card in your pc and copy the rom.zip, alignment.zip and weather pack
put card in your phone
boot into recovery
wipe factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache
wipe battery stats( i always do this but it shudnt matter)
then install the alignment.zip from the sd card
then the rom
then the weather pack
then reboot
and it should be ok
im using a class 10 microsd tho

Speed's are better on EXT4 and if the ROM actually recommends you to use EXT4 then you should have EXT4.
Be sure to always use what the specific ROM requires(radio, Partition etc.) to ensure a nice run of the ROM.
L.E.: Also make sure you have the latest Radio the ROM recommends. It is pretty important.
Hope this helps.
Radio won't update

I have made a ext4 and flashed the rom, but when I try to flash the Radio, nothing changes.
The Radio is maybe the key to my problem now, because the rom is sooo slow!!
HBOOT-0.93.0001
Radio-5.17.05.08
Before I used InsertCoin Nightly A2SD v51 at ext3, it worked smooth but I missed some i that ROM.
Still not working smooth!

you will never get a perfectly smooth rom with sense 3.0 due to the Desire's "hardware limitations".. Cool Sensation worked okay for me

[Q] runny 5.0 quest

hi guys!!
im not allowed to make a post in the development forums, so i make here a quest:
im using runny 5.0 by sebastian... great rom....
my quest is: how big is your swap of your ext when you use roms like sebastians runny?
thanks
I guess you mean your SWAP partition when you partition the SD...i've set it to 0 based on a root guide that is highly recommended and successful among german users. Works perfectly fine. I also have an ext4 with 1,5GB and Runny runs like hell
Ok thanks dude!! Closed
Sent from my HTC Runnymede using Tapatalk
I wanna ask something about the ROM, actually the bug I found is in all 3.5 sense ROMs.
Every time I pull down the notification menu, the usb connection restarts, it's very annoying.
Is there anyone with this bug?
A quest? Oh goodie, a RPG game! OK, I'm ready! What's the first quest? Will I get new armor or cool weapons?
while on the subject of Runny 5, I'm kinda curious about this ROM, while still being a tiny boot noob-ish. I think it might be working when I have revolutionary hboot and 1GB ext3, but I would be calmer if someone could tell me it will/won't work

Yes it works perfectly.. you need a ext 4 and it recommend cmr2 hboot.. it works also with stock hboot... But i think its better with the modded hboot table...

So I should partition my sd with fat/ext4, do a full wipe and just install runny? I currently have ext3 and don't feel like copying all my music back to sd card... do you think it would work just as well with stock hboot and ext3? I saw it on rom manager (didn't have any problems yet with it) and would give it a go

I think it will work (boot up) with a ext 3, but sebastian recommend a ext 4, so i dont know... Just give a try... At first you have to wipe all user data, cache and dalvik... Then you flash the rom.. after this you flash the script (a2sdx v3 you can find it in the runny thread)
Its better if you use a ext 4 partition... Its not so.difficult to format the partition.. or?

[Q] Partitioning SD, is there a clear easy guide?

after a few hours of searching and reading on xda and google, i understand the reasoning for aligning partitions on the SD card, but i just cant find a clear set of instructions on how to do so. I´ve read Sibre´s thread on partitioning, which mostly made sense but the calculations seems a little confusing. I have a 16gb class 6 SD card.
Currently my SD card is partitioned as Fat32 + EXT4 (1gb), which was done with gparted, aligned to MiB.
1: does anyone know of an easy to follow guide?
2: Is there an app (or command line string) that can show the details of an SD cards current partition configuration, and/or confirm if its correctly aligned?
i just use ext4 recovery... not the touch one, its still too large, i dont want to brick my phone... but the normal one it great!
this recovery will do all you asked for and all you need.
There is no reason to re-partition your SD card, unless you wanna use a ROM with DATA2SD (which needs an EXT-partition with 1,5 GB - 2 GB). For the rest of the ROM's your setup should be totally fine.
If you really need to partition your SD card, the easiest is to do it with recovery (my recommendations are 4EXT or RMD). The alternative should only be GParted, nothing else! Please do not use something like Rom Manager or Partition Wizard if you want to have the rewards of your SD card!

Thanks for info. Im currently using MIUI-XJ D2EXT rom, but have been trying CM7.1 which seems quite laggy in comparison. Manu´s Kernel seems to give best performance, have also tried tiamat´s.
I wasn´t quite sure if the lag in CM7.1 was due to SD alignment, as i was using D2SD.

I can appreciate that others have a better experience on theirs with cm7, but not so in the case on mine. As much as i´d like to be using cm7 (as i really like the options), it doesn´t perform near as well as miui-xj d2ext on my desire. Possibly the D2SD is causing the lag.
CM7 in itself is a fast rom and doesn't really support any "xxx-2SD" that's why we say that the ROM doesn't lag.
Since the hardware limitations of our device, we are 'forced' to apply 'hacks' to get the most out of it. I haven't flashed/used any scripts but I do use S2E app on the market and haven't experienced any lag with CM7. Yes there is a possibility that the D2SD you are using is causing the lag.
Check out this excellent tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning
on cm7 i suggest a2sd ONLY, NOT dalvik/caches 2 sd, NOT data to sd, NOT a2sdx
simple a2sd using, oddly simple2ext, or one of the unofficial scripts given out in the CM7 nightly thread... (gingervillian uses darktremors a2sd, but even that causes lag with dalvik2sd)
https://market.android.com/developer?pub=OlegKrikun
if you use anything else you are likely to cause lag.
I've used ClockWorkMod Recovery for partitioning my sd-card. I'm running Runnymede AIO V4.0 SE now. No problems at all.

[Q] about [ROM] [20/08] Pre-rooted Stock Gingerbread (3.14.405.1) from teppic74

Hello there Dudes!
First i want to send you my compliments for your GREAT and helpfull sites/ forum about all rootings & stuff
A past few Days i had such no idea about rooting etc. You helped me sooo much, i just want to say thank you...
And NOW?!?!
I'm coming from FROYO_2.2.2 with 5.11.xx now i have the OFFICIAL GB 2.3.3 with 5.17.xx
I HAVE ROOT! I HAVE S-OFF!
I have a new Hboot and CWM flashed!!!
Everything works fine.
But I still have problems with the internal Memory. A few aps and im out of space This is why i now had part my sd with des RomManager Tool. 512 to ext and 256 to cache.
But the Stock-Install don't mount the ext.part.
Now i have read, i had to do it BEVORE install ROM. Right? Not a big Problem, but i want to stay Stock as possible. So this ROM seems to be perfekt.
It shouldn't be any problem with GSM/HSDPA/EDGE and all the european NetworkStuff?!?
By the way: Provider is O2 (but i think it doesn't matter)
BUT:
Now I have a little problem to download the file from mirror placed in the entry-post. Is it a fault of my network or did you move the files to another server?
Can you give me an alternate adress?
I can't post in the developer forms.
THX a LOT
PS: Just another little Q i didn't find an answer:
Must a system be installed on the device, to flash a new ROM with an RUU executive? Or will it work too if the Desire in Bootmenu, only?
Hi,
I Didn't need to activate a2sd before installing rom.
I use Cyanogenmod, but i thing it should work on stock rom too.
Search for “darktremor“.

Have you installed a2sd addon from Teppic's thread?
SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk.
No, I hadn't install the ap2sd from teppic yet, because the downlink seems to be broken too.
But, it doesn't matter. I want to wipe my phone, because of other (i hope) software errors I had on phone since a long time.
For example the international storage have after install the GB update from 2.2 to 2.3 only ~110 to 120 MB free. This can't be right, can it?
So, now I want to try to do a new installation with min 3 wipes/ factory reset before.
This is why the question is: can I install a RUU file over USB, when there is not longer a system on phone? I think I have to make it from Cmw-Recovery with an zip?
So, my greatest wish is. Please give me a funktional downlink to the system of teppic!
Thanks so far!
Edit: now I realized the post from conch
UPDATE:
Plugged in a new 8GB µSD (C4) and partition it with CWM-Recovery to 1024MB ext and 256MB Swap.
This should be enough
Now coming up a new Question. What is the ext-part now of format? ext-2/3/4? I don't have seen any option to change this in recovery? Is the AmonRa better with this? I read, there you can have a format of your choice.
So, now I only have to get the rom of teppic
EDIT: New thinking way...
1. Can the errors be solved by a damaged kernel? The ROM's dosn't inklude Kernel, does it?
How can completely change/erase the Kernel and flash a new one? Like the Same as flash an ROM or Radio?
2. When i flash an lower ROM (2.1/2.2) coming from a newer/higher (like 2.3.3 with Radio_5.17.xx) do i have to change the Radio too? Maybe for an 2.2 the 5.11.xx? Or will 2.2.x & 2.1 also work with an higher Radio (like 5.17.xx)
Thanks a lot!

So far, so good...
I had now installed the Stock GB Rom. From the official developer update RUU.
A few wipes, before install, seems to be cleaned my system. No I have ~125MB free space on phone!
I installed the CWMR 5.0 again and also the SU 3.x from teppic. Everything looks fine and working.
Just again the same little problem that the diskspace for my apps will be totaly full soon... What did the think about this little storage??? Arrrgglll!
Before installing ROM i changed the partition on SD to 1024MB ext-3 without swap.
And noew I have installed the ap2sd from teppic74 too. In recovery, everything looks fine. The install-procedure runs to end and show no errors.
But I still have 125MB and can't find any ap2sd app or something
Do i have to mount the ext-3 in any way, or did I miss something other?
Best regards and many thanks to all the people answered me! And not much less all the people who created this forum!
1) a2sd is not an app but a script. Besides ls I don't think there is a way except observing how your /data partition behaves. Frankly, I think adb is little over your head now. If not, search Droidzone's guide.
2) exactly what are you doing? You have a ruu installed now and you flash a2sd over it, or you installed Teppic's ROM?
SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk.
Exactly I installed the developer RUU. Then flash it over adb with the ClockworkMod-Recovery and than install the v3.x SU from teppic with flashing from CWMR. Make new boot to check if SU works. Seems to be fine.
Then installed the ap2sd, from teppic, again with CWMR. Looks fine. But I don't think it was success. Because I've seen a screenshot in another thread, from an HTC desire, where you can see, the phone storage is more than 1GB. But I don't find this post again:/
Now I go on, first install the "Rom Manager".
So pls my friends tell me what I did wrong. Because the great internal storage with ap2sd+ was the main reason to make my phone root.

[Q] Still Unable to Partition sd card using 4EXT in rooted S-OFF STOCK ROM?

coming to the point:-
*my desire is rooted,s-off and have official stock rom gingerbread 2.3.3, software no. 3.14.
.i used 4EXT Method to partition 1GB from 16gb mmc and the process went pretty good inside 4EXT Recovery. (i tried both 3ext,4ext type ).
when phone rebooted,there is no extra space for ext.partition in freespace app,system app and still getting low space error.?
* m i missing something?
p.s i didnt install any a2sd script using emulator because i dont have it :/
i dont have pc so i cant use gparted method.
help me using 4ext method.
Lol u can't just make the partition and suddenly have your apps move to the ext. You need a script.
First of all I would recommend flashing a custom ROM. Try mildwilds oxygen ROM since its very fast, stable, and comes preinstalled with a2sd.
All you need to do at this point since you've already done everything like partitioning and what not, is flash the ROM.
Download it, put it onto your SD, reboot into 4ext and go into the wipe menu. Then format all partitions except SD card. Finally choose install zip from SD card, navigate to the ROM u downloaded and flash it.
Then all the apps u install will be automatically installed onto the ext partition u made on the SD card.
Here's the download link BTW:

I dont think he's promoting that ROM. Its a GB based ROM one of the fastest, stable and fully functional ROM.
If you need Sense based GB ROM, try Cool Droid V3.

Nope, he's suggesting it and it's a pretty good GB ROM. If you don't want to use oxygen maybe go for one of the CM7 versions, I quite like the JG version though for sense (which I guess you're used to) RSK team had a fantastic gb rom.

I'm not promoting it... In fact I've never even used it. I was just recommending it to you since from what I've heard, its one of the most stable and bug free ROMs for the desire. As a bonus it comes with a2sd preinstalled, so your apps will be installed to the ext partition out of the box.
The ROM is GB, it just has a jelly bean like ui. If you want something like the stock sense ROM, try using the one dvsk69 suggested above.

oops, I forgot to add punctuation. Jmcclue has linked to some which he has experience of, but RSK did have a sense rom, I ran it for maybe 6 months.
I'll try again

coming to the point:-
*my desire is rooted,s-off and have official stock rom gingerbread 2.3.3, software no. 3.14.
.i used 4EXT Method to partition 1GB from 16gb mmc and the process went pretty good inside 4EXT Recovery. (i tried both 3ext,4ext type ).
when phone rebooted,there is no extra space for ext.partition in freespace app,system app and still getting low space error.?
* m i missing something?
p.s i didnt install any a2sd script using emulator because i dont have it :/
i dont have pc so i cant use gparted method.

I had exactly same problem with using deo roms. After using this method i can install any custom ROM and 4ext is working for 90%.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37383522#post37383522
Due the fact some custom ROMs have preinstalled 2SD different way, Im using scripts attached below the instructions. If script isnt working ( 1%) of all cases, Im using apps showing storage information - if the system information are showing still low memory it doesnt mean its not working. Its needed to use only external app to see reality.( lot of them is on google play).
I hope it will help, cos Im satisfied with it for 100% on all of my adroids .
