[Q] app2sd - Introduction - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys!
As the title says, I would love an introduction to app2sd so i don't make any mistakes..
Frist i installed a script from Darktremor, but i showed out to be for Nexus1.
Therefore I installed another one, but deleted that again because suddenly i only had 2,7GB, when I i used to have 4GB..
Well now I have 3,7. therefore I don't think i have deleted one of them completely!
is there a way to delete it?
And also, what app2sd should i use? Please help, as I would like to get this solved so i just can enjoy my phone and the CM9 Bravo ROM
So this i the things I need to know:
Which app2sd shall i use?
Can I delete a script? If yes, how?

Sorry, if my english has some mistakes. I'm Danish.

Which type of a2sd you use is dependant on the ROM you wish to install and the a2sd support provided by the ROM. If you wish to use the Bravo CM9 ROM, read the OP for that ROM. In this case is is referred to as Mounts2SD

Again, read the relevant para in the CM9 thread!
If you already have a different version installed, you really need to start with a full wipe before installing the ROM

[Q] Big Thanks and some questions about Supernova ROM

Hello everyone!
First of all sorry for opening a new Thread, but I am not yet able to post to the ROM Thread directly :-/
I want to thank everyone involved in the creation/development of the Supernova ROM, because I am thrilled with what it gave me!
I struggled with the memory limitations of my Desire over a year until I decided to give rooting and custom ROMs a chance and the first rooted stock GB ROM with APP2SD+ Support gave me much more space than I ever had before, but as you may suspect already it did not hold for long, so I searched for a more drastic solution and stumbled upon the Supernova ROM!
Clear and precise installation instructions, easy installation and now I got rid of the memory restraints once and for all! Thank you again for that!
Never the less I have two questions regarding the ROM and I hope someone can answer these for me!?
I am using 4EXT Recovery and excluded Cache and Dalvik from the backup to save some space, but I read the warning about wiping cache and/or dalvik so I am wondering whether I should disable the exclusion or not!?
Second thing is that the Android Market App does not Update to the latest Google Play and I am wondering whether I can do anything about it!?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Regards,
Guido
You will have to download the Play Store manually because, I used SuperNova rom some time ago and it does not allow market update because new play store is slow.
Here you can download play store

Yes, you should be including cache and DK in your backups. Otherwise the restored backup wouldnt have your app data.
Market update is blocked in my Rom, so as mentioned, you should backup the rom, and flash a Market zip manually. I'm still using the old Market which I included in the Rom.

Well, good that I asked before making a Nandroid Backup
Are there any disadvantages in using the "old" Market?
And one other question! Speed with all Data on the SD is ok, it is a 16 GB Class 4 Sandisk with a 1.5GB ext4 Partition! Is it safe to use Apps like SD-Booster to try out different read-ahead values? What would you recommend?
Also is there a short explanation / recommendation when one should use the DalvikOptimizer.zip?
Thanks again!

Why is that? And what about manually increasing the readahead?
Regards,
Guido
Change the line:
Code:
readahead=256
in the file /system/etc/init.d/01data to the value you like for readahead. 256 is 256KB. The effect of changing the value is different for each sdcard. You'd have to experiment on your own to find a comfortable value.

Thanks! But doesn´t the app SD Booster do the same?
And if it does, why not using it?

Use whatever you want. You asked a qn about the rom, and I was explaining what was built into it. If you wish to use an app to do the same thing, be my guest.

I only asked about this because the user "race55" said that using SD Booster would be bad and therefore I liked to have a statement from the ROM Developer, because I trust your opinion more!

Just needed your assessment about this!
May I ask another question?
Due to low RAM the task Htc Sense got killed very often! I took your advice and disabled unnecessary events with Autostarts!
Isn't it possible to just prevent Htc Sense from being killed?
Thanks!

It shouldnt be killed if the foreground task and Sense combined require RAM <= Free RAM. There are some scripts which allow you to tweak these settings. Search for Supercharger.

its pretty hard not to find a rom nowadays that doesn't have it baked in. but if you do here is a link to a flashable a2sd zip that will add it to any rom. also if a rom has it baked in and you flash the a2sd zip it won't mess anything up so you don't have to worry about it.

You can, but with my ROM, you won't need to . It's already included.
But one thing to note is that a2sd won't work on any ROM - the boot.img needs to be modified for it to work.

[Q] Stock Rooted 2.3.3 ROM

Hi to all!
I have been searching for stock rooted 2.3.3 rom for htc desire for some time now. A rom without any add-ons, plain stock, just rooted. I have also checked all threads and haven't found anything like that. Maybe I have missed something? Can someone please help me out?
Thanks in andvance!
Here's one:

The link is broken but there's a mirror on the last page of the thread.
It comes with an a2sd script as well, but it won't do anything if you don't make an ext partition.

Thank you very much! I need something ultra stable but rooted. Thank you also for clarifying about a2sd. I'll delete ext partition so it won't use it.

There is too many way to flash custom recovery. For that you can use my signature (there is a link for CWM).
And if you need to know about custom recovery then read these Tutorial - 1, Tutorial - 2, Tutorial - 3 or use search option on XDA.
fine
