hey guys. im very new here and new to the world of andriod. took the plunge with the Supernova rom, loved it till it gave issues with freezing
found the above mentioned rom and tried it out
LOVING IT. its super fast and stable without a joke, but here are my problems:
1: unable to download and install ANYTHING from the android market. when i try it, the phone flashes to the mildwild screen as if it rebooted and then nothing, no app installed
2: unable to set the free space on my memory card to be read as phone memory (as in supernova, it allowed u to set ur ext4 partition) i have a 8gb card and it was partitioned using Gpart for the supernova installation. i just cleared the partitions and tried the same thing with this rom. it only reads 140~mb free space as phone memory.
another point to note, i tried flashing the data2sd that was used with supernova. the phone didnt boot at all and i had to reflash with the mildwild rom to get it up again
so am a bit lost. any help is greatly appreciated
no one can help at all?

1 Try a clean install.
2 MildWild does not have a built in d2sd script. use s2e from market. Do not flash the supernova d2sd.

please help me
I try about 3 roms and when I try to install new app the device reboot..
what should I do ??? please help me X_x
Which roms did you use?
Model: Wildfire S A510e
Recovery: unofficial CWM
Rom: JxMatteo_ROM_V1. 1 with Link2sd - OC - Rooted
apparently freezes and reboots can be a problem if you forget to clear everything before installing custom roms....so you need to do factory reset, clear all cache, clear dalvik cache or whatever it's called, then install rom.
this didn't actually work for me when i tried to put CM7 on my phone, i've ended up clearing it all, formatting evrything and just going back to stock because CM7 was so unstable on my phone.
but if you forgot to clear everything when you first installed, try that first?
Hope you get it going. If not, you can also install stock, but you can still partition the sd card and use link2sd to give you basically a gig of "internal" storage (it lets you install pretty much all apps to the 2nd partition on the sd card. running very well now on mine.
I was just about to create a thread about this problem. I flashed m1ndh4x8r's ROM onto my device after a bad experience with the CM7 nightly, fully wiped, permissions fixed. I was on that exact same ROM the day before flashing CM7 and it was working perfectly, did everything it said it would, apps installed just fine. And the first time I installed that ROM, I didn't wipe a single thing.
So, now I'm thinking we should revert to the stock ROM, then flash this one back over it with no wipes, then if that doesn't work, revert to stock again and try flashing the ROM the proper way, wipes and all.
I'll try fixing this every way I can. I'll tell you if I find a fix for myself that you could use as well

is a type of rom... currently cm7.2 stable build... CM stands for cyanogenmod
check this site: cyanogenmod.com
Pretty much every ROM ever made says be sure to wipe EVERYTHING. They put that there for a reason. The only time time you MIGHT get away with not wiping is if your flashing the exact same ROM you just had. Then and only then, you might get away without wiping your dalvik.

Idk, the ROM worked fine for me, even though I think I didn't wipe anything. When I did wipe the phone before flashing, there was a problem. Though it could just be my device and my bad luck
God hates me, I don't know why I even bother living anymore -.-
EDIT: My faith in God is restored. Just flash this ROM instead. You'll be happy with it and it works just fine for me. Also, wipe EVERYTHING I can't agree that you always have to wipe everything, since not wiping actually solved a problem I had with CM7, but I think that was just an isolated case.
Hi guys,
I have an other problem with this ROM. Sometimes when I turn off the screen the device locks, the only solution is remove the battery and turn off the Desire.
When the device locks I have or the screen totally black or the boot animation blocked and any commands don't work.
Someone have this problem or know the solution?? Thanks
Jerry

Go back to using a stable rom and stop using a beta rom only to complain things doesn't work properly afterwards.
Go to recovery and do full wipe. Factory reset, cache and dalvik cache

Ok, Thanks. I have another question for you about this ROM. The volume (ring and alarm) is very low, how can I increase it??
From sandvold site
"Volume is very low!
Have you used Amarullz or Darktremor A2SD? Although both methods uaually work well they have been shown to cause lots of FCs with this ROM. A alternative A2SD method is baked right into this ROM so you don't need another one. See the question above this one."
Also you can download via market "audiomanager"..
But propably its the a2sd
You use darktremor script ? Because when you move dalvik cache to sd your sound will be low
Sent from my HTC Desire
i use it too, but my sound its ok, it wasnt at 0.3.4, but now at 0.3.6 my problem is fixed

Yes i use Darktremor script. I flashed this script because the "native" app2sd script of the ROM doesn't work good.
I follow the guide of the ROM to install the script but after the reboot i have always the same problem, the problem is that every app that I install is copied to both internal memory and external partition, so the internal memory fills up quickly.
The sound is now ok.
I still have the problem that I wrote at the beginning of this discussion (freezing of the device) but it is less rare.
u have the latest version 0.3.6?

No, actually i didn't format the system, i did only all wipe. I can do also the format .
So I can do this:
wipe chache
wipe dalvik cache
factory reset
format system
flash ROM
it's right???
do this
i did this and everything works fine
1. wipe data/factory reset
2. mounts and storage --> format system
u dont need to do anything else..these 2 options do all the other wipes and formats
3. install clean rom

Gallery problems
Its a great ROM with a few expected problems being a beta. The problem I'm having is with the gallery. I can't access any of my albums.
I've tried Quick Pics but it doesn't find images stored online in G+ or Picasa albums.
Has anyone else come across this using a2sd?
sorry man, dont know what else to say..
Hey Guys,
I downloaded MildWild 3.0 w/ Xperia Arc Launcher found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353861
This rom installs using my sd partition I believe, because I have a 1gb partition, and when it loaded up I had 800+ mb free.
This morning I downloaded the Cm7r2 version of Alex-V: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872464
I wiped my data/cache/dalvik/battery stats and installed that rom, but when it booted up it was MildWild again, so I did the same steps and tried again, with the same results.
I figured that there was something on the sd ext partition that was booting MildWild so I downloaded the "data2ext/whatever 387mb Hboot version" version of that same Alex-V rom.
This time it booted into a loading screen that said Android, instead of MildWild, but it just kept looping, and after leaving it for 15 minutes I just pulled the battery.
Now I decided to just wipe out my ext partition and sd card in full, so I went into the settings > storage > unmount sd card > wipe sd card
Booted into CWM, installed the Alex Cm7r2 rom again, AND IT BOOTED INTO MILDWILD! lol...
I have no idea what's going on, any info is very much appreciated.
Reflash recovery or try a different one and wipe again.
Do a full wipe.
if in 4ext....format all partitions (except SD card)
Else wipe/format system, data, cache, SD-ext.
formatting ur SD card will not wipe SD-Ext.

Thanks for your post.
I'm using CWM 4.0 and I don't see any option to wipe sd-ext, but it seems to do it when I do the wipe data / factory reset.
I can only see the 4ext remote that costs 2.50 or something in the market, is that the one you're referring to?
there is a free app 4ext recovery updater

Thanks, got it off their site ( for anyone else it's on http://4ext.net/ )
ok, so when I opened that app it just had the same options as I have in CWM, no sd-ext wipe, just factory reset/cache/dalvik and battery. When I chose all of them it asked me to boot into recovery to do them, and it just booted up CWM again lol
you need to flash 4ext recovery first via app
just confirmation are you s-off?

Flashing recovery doesn't require S-Off'ed.

for 4ext: Flash the latest recovery (classic or touch) from the updater app. touch recovery is a good one to start with.
Thank you everyone for the help. I installed 4ext and flashed it ( I am s-off'd btw ) and I was able to wipe all partitions (except sd card) and it worked. I'm not sure what I was missing in CWM, because I definitely formatted the ext. As long as it works I'm happy tho, thanks again!

Your initial problem seems to be that you were not wiping /system/.
Your problem with the Alex 387MB version was that the /system/ partition was too big for your hboot.
When swapping between 2 different ROMS you always need to:
1) Check that the new ROM will fit on your hboot
2) Wipe all partitions except SD from recvovery.
Hi there,
i tried to post this question in the Sandvold ICS thread but XDA doesnt allow me because i have less than 10 post etc
So i currently have Sandvold ICS Beta 0.15.0.1
I would like to install the most recent version. I am not sure whether to install it or do a fresh wipe and then do the install?
What should i do?
Thanks in advance,
You should always do a fresh start. So, wipe everything except sdcard

How do i prevent it from not wiping the SDCard?
I am using ClockworkMod Recovery 2.0.5.7 by the way.
Thanks,
Factory reset / wipe data will do it. To be honest it shouldn't wipe the SD card unless you specifically ask it to. The only bits it should touch are .android secure and if you have and ext partition.
I do have an ex partition on my sd card. I do have apps installed in that particular partition.
Am i right in saying that i will need to backup the apps from that particular partition?
Also will my partition remain when i do the wipe?
Thanks in advance.
Yes backup all apps and data using something such as Titanium and then do a nandroid backup in recovery.
The wipe / factory reset will wipe the EXT but your partition will remain.

Sandvold ICS
Yes to get a newer version of Sandvold ICS, you would need to do a fresh install.
Though if you like Sandvold ICS, I really strongly recommend you to try CyanogenMod 10 Elk759 (JellyBean)
It is simply faster, better and more stable if you ask me. Beside that it also includes a OTA Updater, which
allowes you to update your rom without having to to do a clean install each time.
You should diffenetly check it out!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827934
- Though remember to install GApps which is also linked in the post.
Hello,
I'm using JB AOKP by Vj and for space needed reasons I decided to try the int2ext+ script. It works only the first time I boot the phone, on the second time it stays stucked on the boot animation.
Thanks in advance.
Did you delete the old script first?

I dont think u did. Like k3lcior said u need to delete a2sd from the rom. So on ur computer, open the rom zip and go to system/etc/init.d folder and check if theres any a2sd script there, if so delete it. Also check system/bin. Then put rom on sdcard and in recovery, full wipe, wipe dalvik then flash rom then int2ext script then reboot.

How did you partition your sd-card?
I had to primary partitions. My first is 6gb FAT32 and my second is 2gb Ext2.
I solved my problem. My solution:
1. Like mentioned above, remove a2sd from the int.d folder or how it's called
2. because it didn't reboot, I cleanded the dalvik cache with the clear dalvik cache zip by croniccorey which was made for the use with the script. you can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716124. it should fix the problem.
