1: backup all data on the SDCards as it will be wiped
2: if it is not already in the ROM - install ROM Manager: http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/rom-manager_fjxs.html
3: use Rom Manager to partition the SDCard. (I use 'no swap' and 512MB EXT3)
4: put the data that you backed up in step 1 back on the SDCard
5: install a ROM that supports app2sd. All ROM cooks publish if whether their ROM supports apps2sc or apps2sd+
5: reinstall all your apps. They will now be installed on the SDCard until that runs out of space.
6: done.

I have rooted my htc desire with Goldcard, installed Involkd image for recovery
do i need to run any scripts or anything to get the apps2sd to work, i currently have Market fixed rom installed, as like to keep it as close to the org rom as possible,
So if the apps2ds is not installed with the rom were can i download this from, please you give me a link,? so i can flash this to the phone. also how do i use that rom manager, what is no (Swap)
Many Thanks for the help.

No. On booting the phone will link the memory on the SDCard to your internal memory, so the phone thinks it is loading all apps in internal memory, while it is actually stored on the SDCard.

This ROM does not support App2sd. If you want to stay close to the original AND use apps2sd, use a ROM like NextSense: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742371

On creating an extra partition on your SDCard, the Rom manager will ask what size the swap part needs to be (I used 0) and what size the EXT3 (I used 512).

No problem.

This Rom seems to be very unstable, i want a rom close to the org as possible, but also to include apps2sd, or a download for app2sd how to guide please.
I love the one i got, as its hardly been messed with, bloatware drives me crazy, if its
not broke do not fix it.
Thanks

Has all the problems with Sense rom been fixed.
Is their anyway i can update the rom i have, with the Apps2ds added to it, or do it has to be embedded into the rom.?
Also when you say ext 2 3 4, do i need to format my sd card 1st. and if so how to format in the phone or by a program from the market, ie : what you suggested before.
Thanks

Just try them all. I used NextSense for a while (5.1) and for me it was very stable.
New ROMs come out every day, so just try a couple of them and see which work well for you.
At this moment I use WhiteXperience 2.0 which does not use sense, so I do not use Sense at this very moment. Btw.: WhiteXperience 2.0 is extremely fast with low batery use. For me this is more important than Sense.
With Rom Manager you can quickly create a full backup of your ROM with all the apps and data. So, create a full backup, install a new ROM, play with it for a few hours and either keep the new ROM or restore the old ROM.
This way you can quickly test a new ROM and see if it does what you need.

That is the reason I use WhiteXperience, since it is based on CyanogenMod 6.
But again it is not based on Sense, which is what you want.

I have not tried that. I have only tried ROMs that support Apps2sd.
But then again, just try it out: http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-appstosd2-qBx.aspx and let us know if this works for you.
However, since Froyo uses another way of storing apps in SD, you might end up with an unstable system.

After the partition has been created you end up with a formatted, empty SDCard. So no prior formatting is necessary.

I've tried most of them if not all and NexTSense 5.3 is by far the most stable and best Rom on here. It's almost as stock as they come with Apps2sd installed. I think the only app changed is google maps to the slightly better brut version.
Define unstable? Most roms require a clean wipe before installing.

I agree with sbdags. NextSense is absolutely stable and, if you want Sense, this Rom would be the best choice to try out.

[Q] s off is freezing

hey everyone
im trying to install miui geingerbread 2.3.5 on my htc desire, the thing is that back in time i had cyanogen mod 2.3.4, and now i decided to give it a shot to try miui, so i went into recoverymod wiped everything and went to install zip chosed the miui zip fie and everything went good until it finished installation and says installation finished, so i go back to reboot system and my phone freezes at the s-off picture ( which says why so serious alpharev ), it kept like that for 45 minutes and i tried to reinstall twice...
can anyone please help me and tell me wut might be the problem
and could it be that i have to install froyo on my htc desire instead of gingerbread or it doesnt matter, wut about kernels...

which rom did u download
miuiandroid.com
or miui.us
or from xda-developers

try fastboot commander (requires java jdk and android sdk). Once you got it boot into fastboot, go into the "misc" tab on fastboot commander, thenwipe everything (apart from recovery, hboot and radio) and then try to install MIUI again.

i downloaded this one
MIUI XJ D2EXT X-PART 1.7.29 - 2.3.5 GS 3P FINAL

from this thread

can u tell me if its the right one please
is this an update or full rom, im trying to download 2.3.4stable one from here http://miuiandroid.com/roms/miui-stable-roms/
ill try it
i hope it does work

yup, I used that one before and it worked absolutely fine. It's just good practise to do a full wipe of everything before you install a new ROM so you don't get left over crap from your old ROM.

actually i did wipe everything, including dalvic cache
i will try the 2.3.4 release i guess
i hope it works

try the data++ hboot, worked for me with that.

Did you read requirements for D2EXT X-PART?
You need 2 EXT partitions for that, try flashing A2SD version if you have one EXT partition.

Not true. For the D2E X-Part One EXT is oneough (you can use 2 tho) to make it work.
I have one and it works.

[Q] Superwipe?

Hi,
I'm helping out a friend with his WFS to unlock, install clockwork and root the phone, so far i've done this successfully which isn't to bad for me!!! I've now come to flashing a custom rom and what i want to know is how do i get a fresh install from rom to rom as i try them?
I've read about a superwipe then flash a rom so everything is clean but after doing a seach on here i can't find a wipe zip file for the WFS?
Also when i install a custom rom i seem to have a very low internal memory left, as low as 35mb?!!
can anyone assist please?
Thanks

You just have to remember 3 wipes in clockwork mod (CWM) before flashing a new rom.
1.data/factory reset
2.cache partition
3.dalvik (in advance)

Thanks for that, found them all in CWM.
I've re flashed this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432259
After i do the initial set up of the phone im only getting 48mb of internal storage free, is this normal or a bit low? I've partitioned the sd card and running link2sd so overall space will be ok, but just think the internal is a little low?
Thanks

The link is not working for some reason.
If its a sense based rom I have read many people having the same issue.
Why not try cm7.2 cyanogen by alquez.
I've been using it for months now and find it by far the best.
Its fast, stable and good on battery too.
No going back to sense for me.

[Q] sebastian15's Runnymede AIO isn't working

I tried Runnymede AIO from sebastian15, but always I flash this ROM it freezes after few minutes from boot then I have to take out battery. After that phone boots normally and after few minutes freezes again. I've tried to flash different versions (5.0.4; 6.0.5; 6.5) of this rom on different hboots (CM7/r2 and then stock)
and via various recoveries (cwm and 4ext classic and touch), tried many combination of options in Aroma Installer but without any result.
I would like to change my rom for a while (juts got bored with cm7) and few weeks ago this rom was working right.
Thanks a lot for any help.

I suppose it freezes before you restored any apps and/or settings, right?
In this case, my first thought is there might be something with your SD card.
Maybe try to repartion it or try a different one?

Are you using the A2SDX version or the generic?
Because if you use the first one, let the rom settle (only set up basics screen) the reboot before doing anything.
This way it worked for me.

i used the rom also for some time and was very happy with it, if u fallow the instructions from first page must work. make sure your partitions are formatted as suppose to be, and be careful when restore applications, especially with Titanium Backup, restore only user applications, do not overwrite system applications.
version 6.0.4 and 6.0.5 i found them very stable releases and great rom.
sebastian have some very good tutorials with all steps of instalation, if you fallow it suppose to be ok. do not forget to format all partitions excepts fat32 one before you install.
good luck and give us some feedback

Thanks for answers I'll try repertition my SD card.
P. S. I've tried generic a2sd and ad2sdx as well. And i hadn't done any changes (restoring apps, adding new accounts etc.).

Sounds like the ROM file you've downloaded is corrupt. Do you check MD5sum?

i've checked md5 sum ofc and repartitioning sd card didn't help so I'm waiting for stable cm9 or maybe some rom based on ics with sense. Anyway thanks for trying to help me. I won't download AIO.

You can try [ROM][20.02.12][★★ SMS ★★ ] by ★ RSK TEAM ★ with AMAZE CAM [v.5.0][CM7R2][STOCK]
It is a sense 3.5 same as sebastian one, very fast and stable, i use it since 3 days and i love it.
I use a hboot with a generic a2sd, rom is not that big and remain with 100+ mb internal memory.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Bad question, maybe, but did you do a full wipe?
I tried the rom, worked for me but i wasn't satisfied with speed. Try RSK team rom mentioned in previous post, I'm using it having no problems (but use generic a2sd and don't try fix wallpaper view in panel mode you will get more trouble than you can compensate with the view).
You can also try Cool 3D Runnymede, but you will have to flash RC tweaks separately.

Yup full wipe is necessary and I know it. Thanks [ROM][20.02.12][★★ SMS ★★ ] by ★ RSK TEAM ★ with AMAZE CAM [v.5.0][CM7R2][STOCK] works good.

[Q] Elk759's JB Rom not booting

Hi to all !
Pardon me if the question has already been asked.
I have actually the 0.27 of Elk759's JB Rom installed on my Desire (S-On, no Sd-Ext or whatsoever). I wanted today to install 0.34 every time I get stuck on boot animation. Not even a reboot. Just stay on boot animation. And I had the same problem on versions after 0.27.
I have made all the wipes twice (Data, cache, dalvik) to be sure, but the always stay on boot.
Have I forgotten any requirements ?
Thanks for all !

he is s-on, so must be on stock hboot
@Monkeypox95, in the OP of the thread it says, YOU NEED GAPPS TO USE THIS ROM, have you flashed them straight after flashing the rom.zip?
also, if you start to install apps, you'll run out of space quite quickly without sd-ext partition. i recommend s-off, install 4ext recovery, backup sd card and partition using 4ext. enable a2sd using instructions in first post.

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that I am on stock hboot AND that I have flashed the Gapps straight after having flashed the rom.

Hi all,
I am new here and new to flashing phones with new rom's. I rooted my desire with the package: revolutionary-0.4pre4.zip
that is successfully installed. I can boot in to the recovery mode. After that i made a backup and did a full whipe. I installed the 0.34 rom (without a2sd). And directly after that (no reboot in between) i installed gapps using the link provided in the dev thread.
I have the same result, phone hangs on the CM bootscreen.
I will now try the latest update with a2sd and will let you know if i have a better result.
Thnx in advance!
~Spud
EDIT1: Got no luck with the a2sd version.
as mentioned above i think i should look at the hboot for this problem.
I am currently on hboot 6.93.1002 S-off.. is that bad for this rom?
EDIT2: So,... after doing some more reading i reformatted the SD card. with the largest available size, for swap and data. After a reboot and hanging at the bootscreen for a couple of minutes the phone has booted!
Hopes this might come in handy for some of you folks.
Thank you Elk759 its running very smooth at this moment. Did not really expect this performance from this old phone
