How big is your EXT partition? And check if your EXT partition is being used with Quick System Info or Titanium Backup.

Hmm. I can't see the photos, they won't load for some reason.
Anyway, which hboot are you using?

the firt is what i get when i try to open htc browser
the second is the what i see in quick system info

As far as i have understan AD2SDX is a program that moves cache-dalvik to sd-ex and helps mobile see sd-ex as ram.Furthermore most of .apk will be install to sd-ex after flashing AD2DSX.However cache is still on mobile's ex so that is why on xda site says:"boot into recovery, clear the Cache (but NOT the Dalvik cache) and then reboot. Then try installing the Cache Cleaner app."
Unfortunatelly i did that and still nothing.
The bad things is sometimes not only htc browser won't start and shows that picture that upload but there are some other programs that is forced to cloce such as market and facebook.(Even though all the above after wipe cache(using app)i am able to download opera mobile(25mb).Opera could browse and htc browser still gave me full storage message.)
My thought are that something went wrong at installation or it is the HBOOT.But i really don't know-understant so much thats why i need help.(it's about 1-2months i learned what root and s-off is!)

The solution is simple. Do not flash the ad2sdx. If you have titanium backup, on the first page, you can check your ext storage and see what I mean.

To be honest i did open titanium backup but i did not get what you wanted to tell me.What i saw was this: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/215/titanium.png/
The think is when i flashed the rom i didn't see exactly this picture: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/832/4aroma.png/
i mean everything was the same exept the option of the rom mod
i get only one option APP2SD(if i remember well) no ADD2SDX!
if i remember right firt time i did flash the rom without flashing ADD2SD i get only the beats backround from the main screen no ring lock no menu option no nothing only main screen.(ADD2SD was not at all in sd)

Your titanium backup info shows that you are using stock hboot (250MB system, 150MB data, 40MB cache). APP2SDX requires a CM7r2 hboot. Change hboot with Alpharev and try reflashing the rom again and see if you have this problem occurring again.

I was running this ROM until a few days ago. I have a stock hboot like you but I had plenty of space using the stock a2sd that comes with the ROM, no need to install run an extra script (even if it did work with stock hboot). From memory, I had 500 or 600MB remaining for apps on my 1GB ext4 partition.
Looking at your TB screen, your ext4/a2sd partition is quite small, showing a 154MB partition (not 1.2GB) with just 978kb free - this would explain the low memory errors that you are getting. It would be worth taking another look at your partition in GParted.

You don't seem to understand. He has this problem (low a2sd) because of the x script. There is no need to change the partition. If you really want to use the xscript, change the hboot to cm7r2. But I would strongly advise you not to use it. Switch your hboot to cm7r2 and use a2sd. You will get more speed and enough app space.

I just started everything from the beggining.
1)dowload and rename PB99IMG_cm7r2 to PB99IMG
2)make the partision from the begginig(just in case)
3)i put the PB99IMG the Runnymede AIO V6.0.4.3 Special Edition and my old file clockworkmod.Clockworkmod just in case.
4)update the phone with PB99IMG(did not reboot)
5)went into recovery flashed the Runnymede AIO V6.0.4.3 Special Edition
6)reboot the system
The only strange thing is between 5 and 6 i got this message:
"Aroma installer finished…
E:Error in /sdcard/Runnymede_AIO_V6.0.4.3_Special.Edition.zip
(status 0)
Installation adorted."
what does it mean???Shouldn't i get:instalation finished or something like that??
The second thing i was confused is that i get opera mobile app cache cleaner and titanium backup without downloading them if i remember well the does not come with rom!!right??
P.S:1)i didn't put the AD2SDX zip file in sd-fat32 but i did get the option of it at the preferations in the rom installation(i hadn't this option before)
2)i will use for some days the rom and tell you what i get!

Can you Post the aroma log here? I suspect it's because your have not fully wipe the partitions, hence the error. And the 2 apps it's possible that it came from before you reflashed the ROM.
The reason you have the A2SDX option now is because it is supposed to be used only with CM7r2 hboot and hence because you are using it, it appears as an option.

I didn't understant what do you mean by this :"Can you Post the aroma log here?"
I make the partision from the beggining so i believe that sd-fat32 an sd-ex4 was completely empty,so there were no app in sd.
Let's talk about the phone now i did a full wipe(1)wipe data/factory reset
2)wipe cache partision(wipe cache)
3)advanced->wipe dalvik cache
So if i am not wrong no rom and no app should be neither to sd nor to phone.Right?

1) Ignore the log part, I forgot that that's optional. Basically when you install a ROM with aroma, at the end there is an option to save log so that we can see what had gone wrong if problems cropped up like yours.
2) No. What you do just ensured that your sd-ext and data partition is empty. As such you will not have any apps, but your ROM (or most of it) is still intact as the system partition is not wiped. However, Sense roms from 3.0 and above will store some files on the sd-ext partition as there isn't enough space, so when you wipe the sd-ext (factory reset), you are left with an incomplete ROM.
Edit: To write system partition go to Advanced> format system

So you suggest to do all from the beggining adding one step before reboot system: Advanced->format system????
As i saw at recovery->advance->(i have these options: )
-reboot recovery
-wipe dalvik cache
-wipe battery stats
-report error
-key test
-show log
-partision SD card
-Fix permissions
By the way options at recovery are
-reboot system now
-apply update from sdcard
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache partision
-install zip from sdcard
-backup and restore
-mounts and storage
-advanced
-power off
what should i choose??

The option should be in mounts and storage if I'm not mistaken. Sorry, all the recoveries place it at different places and I get mixed up with the locations.
So all you do is (presuming you've changed to CM7r2 and your ext partition is created)
1) Full Wipe (Factory Reset, Wipe cache, Dalvik, Format System)
2) Flash ROM
3) Flash mods (optional)
4) reboot system

Mods just means modifications to the original Rom. If you check the threads normally, other than the original rom zips, there are normally the 'addons' such as framework mods, a2sd scripts etc. which you add after flashing the Rom.

Couple of things to add to the folks above:
1) It won't work on ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0 since it's an Amend script (update-script). Amon_RA 2.3 and below, and ClockworkMod 2.x both support amend and edify (updater-script and update-binary), so it will work for them.
2) Isn't needed on ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0 or Amon_RA Recovery 2.3 since each have the options to wipe all your partitions (albeit you have to wipe each partition separately. I personally nagged Amon_RA to put in the wipe /boot and wipe /system options).
3) It wipes everything on the phone's internal storage except the WiMAX partition (which would be incredibly stupid since it would wipe out everyone's WiMAX radio and keys!). What it really does is format /system (your ROM and system apps), /cache (the kernel and ROM's cache), /data (your apps, settings, app data, etc.), and dalvik-cache (which is usually on /data or /cache, and is the cache for the Dalvik VM; the thing that runs apps).
4) Your SD card, .android_secure (on the SD card, this is where apps that have been moved to the card via the Applications settings in Froyo or Gingerbread), and sd-ext (old style of moving apps and cache to the SD card WHICH SHOULD NEVER BE USED ANYMORE) partitions are left alone. THEY WILL NOT BE WIPED. So if you have any apps on your SD card (for example, all the Angry Birds games install to SD by default), you will have to wipe them manually.
thank you guys!
If you open up the zip and look at the update-script file, the following commands are listed in it
Code:
show_progress 0.1 0
format BOOT:
format CACHE:
format DATA:
format SYSTEM:
show_progress 0.1 10
To anyone with half a functioning brain cell, it should be obvious what each line does.
Post #5 says it well. The only thing I'd add is there really is little reason to do both wipe and this (esp with ra recovery 2.3). If you do the factory wipe option (first on the wipe menu), that will clear both the cache and data partitions. And since the data partition is already formatted, doing an addition wipe dalvik cache is really not necessary.
To the OP: Please use a more descriptive subject in the future. Almost passed this thread over because of it.

[Q] Installing Android 4 on HTC Desire

I hate asking a question which has probably been asked before, but I could not find this information. Is there any thread explaining how to install Android 4 on the HTC Desire?

Removed. Soft keys reduce screen space. Desire has hard keys so those are obsolete.

These are the steps you have to do:
1. S-off
2. Get the appropriate partition for the system (see the Alpharev instrutions);you need Bravo Stock or Bravo Data++ ;
3. with Geparted from Linux live cd, partition SD card FAT32 and at least 1,5Gb 4Ext, both as primary partition;
4. power-off your Desire;
5. press Vol. down and Power;
6. go in Recovery;

1. S-off its not needed
2-You can get an ext4 partition using Mini Partition Tool (2mins) (Windows) its the fastest method.
3. 1Gb ext4 partition its needed.
Then continue with the steps mentioned before.

S-off is needed if anyone tries to change the partition table. Other than that its not necessary. If u have not yet installed any custom rom than its the Bravo Stock HBOOT.try the build from Sandvold (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355660), this is Made for STOCK HBOOT. But these roms are in the Beta stage right now. And as Dark_AJ9 mentioned, u will need a dedicated 1GB SD-Ext from ur SD card.
Go on, flash the roms u like.
yes, but you can install ICS without S-off i know it because i've had ICS and i dont have S-off

Thats right I also used ICS with S-ON. Only thing you need to do is a full wipe of everything!

[Q] Low on memory..

Basically we all know that the Desire has a useless ammount of memory. I'm running ICS one of the first beta versions, anyway I've got no memory, I've tried to partition the sd card to ext 4 but it rejects it so I'm looking for someone to point me to the next step with some instructions mainly if I need to revert back to gingerbread, how would I do that?
Thanks Dave
[EDIT] Should also mention I found this thread but doesn't really help me.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1429570&page=2
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
How are you trying to partion SD card? Most reliable methods seem to be with 4ext or Gpart.
I've used gparted via ubuntu, but it for some reason doesn't like that, I'm thinking its rom related as it worked on a GB rom but since going over to ICS it doesn't work..
what do you mean 'rejects it'
do you mean that your entire SD card is not being read by the ROM and/or windows ?
You can use one of clockwork recovery's advanced menus to format the drive for you to a size of your choice 512 or 1024 or whatever.. I can't remember if it gave options for ext3 and 4 but you can def. get ext 4 out of it. the rest should be left as fat32.. works like a charm

The way I did it was via the CWM.
Before you do this, make sure that there are no apps stored on the sdcard (because your about to wipe it) - i.e. go through each app (unless you have Titanium Backup, which makes this easier).
Boot into recovery, in the advanced section, select partition sdcard, then select a 512Mb partition (wouldn't go higher - you get issues), select 0 for the swap partition.
Then boot up and follow the instructions about a2sd on this page:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355660
It all worked fine for me (and I have loads of space now!)
What version of CWM did you use?
hmmmm, are you using beta 0.3.6?
I mean, there are some instructions for a2sd:
To activate the built in a2sd:
open terminal and run these commands:
su
a2sd install
To move dalvik cache do:
a2sd cachesd
And try with different sd card....
I'm on 0.3.6 i followed the methods of using the CWM to partition it, when i said rejects it i meant that after using gparted android claims it is corrupted and nees to be format. Anyway so after running the terminal commands all fine but i cannot use the phone at all, contacts process crashes and thats followed by "android.process.accore has stopped." Any suggestions? I figured it might be a bad flash so re-flashed it but that doesnt seem to help.
I have not yet partitioned my sd card, I am still sorting things out. I also have low mem error. I believe the bulk of the problem, is the sorting of things. Others have had success with certain configurations of CWM, Droid builds, ext3 or ext4, and cell phone carriers.
After reading like you have, I have seen that CWM partitions have been unsuccessful until after version 2. I am currently running a US Cellular Droid 2.2, Rooted, CWM v4.0.0.2. Sorry for the lack of help yet. I will keep updating as I work through this.
I think best bet for me is to go back to gingerbread and go back to ICS after that and see where I am.
ICS for Desire is too many bug.
Try to erase cash and restart phone
These are the steps you have to do:
1. S-off
2. Get the appropriate partition for the system (see the Alpharev instrutions);you need Bravo Stock or Bravo Data++(I used the last one);
3. with Geparted from Linux(Ubuntu) live cd, partition SD card FAT32 and at least 1,5Gb 4Ext, both as primary partition;

1. Do a full wipe using 4ext recovery. Full wipe = "Wipe Dalvik Cache erase /data and /cache partitions.wipe the battery stats. There is an option for that in 4EXT menu .
2. Create two partition on your sd card - [xxGB fat32] + [1GB ext] use the partition menu in 4EXT recovery, backup data on sd card first!
3. Flash the .zip file :good:
no, you need to:
- nandroid backup (just in case)
- change hboot to maximise space. i think it will fit inside oxygenR2 hboot with 100MB system, download the rom to check system size or search the thread. download the hboot from alpharev.nl, and i recommend using fastboot commands to change hboot (guide here).
- you need to 'full wipe' when changing roms. in 4ext recovery there is a wipe all partitions except sd card option, this formats everything including system, data, sd-ext etc. wiping cache and data is not enough
- flash rom and reboot

- change hboot to maximise space. i think it will fit inside oxygenR2 hboot with 100MB system, download the rom to check system size or search the thread. download the hboot from alpharev.nl, and i recommend using fastboot commands to change hboot (guide here).
- you need to 'full wipe' when changing roms. in 4ext recovery there is a wipe all partitions except sd card option, this formats everything including system, data, sd-ext etc. wiping cache and data is not enough
- flash rom and reboot

How can i change hboot? I didnt understand that part. And why i need to change it? It sounds not very easy to change those roms and it's confusing a little bit.

follow the guide, i even found it for you
you don't have to change, but it uses the space more efficiently.
you are on stock hboot, so you have 250MB system size, but that mildwild rom system size is only ~95MB. this wastes 155MB empty on /system. by changing to oxygenR2 hboot with 100MB, you waste only 5MB. by switching to oxygenR2 your internal memory also goes up from 147MB to 332MB, allowing more space for apps :laugh:
so up to you if you want this extra space for apps. you might as well change it while switching roms so you don't have to worry about it later.
it's quite easy to change roms once you search how to do it. you are basically backing up, wiping the device and flashing a new rom.

Oh sorry, didnt see the guide.. But i can firstly change the rom and then think about changing hboot yes? And if not changing hboot, if partition sdcard, that gives internal storage too, no?

you can install the rom and change hboot afterwards yes, make sure you nandroid backup! but you might as well change hboot first because you have to full wipe when changing roms anyway. honestly it's not very difficult.
you created your sd card partition with 4ext recovery? i'd recommend it to be 1-1.5GB. the partition will automatically be used for apps and dalvik cache i believe, but you won't 'see' it as extra internal memory.
however, on stock hboot you will only have 147MB for app data, which can fill up quickly depending on how many apps you use. oxygenR2 hboot will be much more efficient use of internal memory. up to you.

yes, i created it with 4ext recovery and i made 1gb of my sd card for internal, i know that i cant see the storage except with titanium backup. I think i will try to flash that rom after full wipe without changing hboot.
Just flashed mildwild rom and it's awesome, much better than 4.2.2 jb with cyanogen 10.1 Thank u guys!

[Q] Custom Rom -> Factory Reset ?

Hi there,
I got a custom Rom installed on my HTC desire, but now a year later it's getting a bit slow .. I would like to re-install this rom (believe it was MildWild 8.0 ) but whats the best way to do this ?
Can i just make a 'factory reset' from the CWM recory menu ? Or should i wipe everything and flash the Rom again ? Or maybe some other option ?
Thanks in Advance.
try wipe cache and dalvik in recovery then reboot.
maybe help .

You should try to work out why it might be slow in the first place.
Are you using an sd partition for A2SD? How did you create the partition? Any other scripts?
If you want to simply reinstall the ROM, you can:
- make a nandroid backup just in case
- flash the ROM.zip straight over the top, no wipe
This may clean things a little on your /system partition, and you shouldn't lose your apps.
If you "wipe data / factory reset" within cwm, and do nothing afterwards, this will wipe the ROM and it will not boot as you won't have any OS.
You can reflash the ROM.zip after "wipe data / factory reset", this is simply a full wipe and reinstall from scratch. Make sure you have a nandroid, backed up your contacts to google, and a titanium backup of your apps etc before you try this.

Despite this being repeated millions of times in xda, it rarely ever actually solves anything. cache is just temporary files. dalvik is required for apps to function. after you wipe it, it simply rebuilds, which is why it takes so long to boot afterwards...
In other words don't bother wiping dalvik...save yourself the time.
Thanks for the help.
It's probably getting slow because I run most apps via A2SD .. Cant really remember how i created the partition back then, it's more than a year ago now...don't think i use other scripts.
I don't use this phone that much anymore, but i wanted to have a backup phone in case my newer one gets broken or something, therefore i wanted to do a clean install on this one.
So if i flash the ROM straight over this one, without wiping, i still got al my personal data on the phone ?
Does a Nandroid backup also backs up the apps ? Cause when i reinstall this backup it probably gets slow again right ?
Is there a way to backup only the system settings from the ROM, so that when i do a full wipe , reinstall the same ROM again, i can restore the changes i made in this ROM ?
Thanks.

You're supposed to run all your user installed apps via A2SD, that's why you rooted and partitioned your sd card in the first place. Otherwise you run out of space again

If you can't remember how you did it, then there's a chance you did it wrongly. It should be done with 4EXT recovery or gparted only, not clockworkmod recovery or minitool partition wizard. You mention clockworkmod recovery, so I assume you are also still S-ON?

To be honest, these are kind of basics you should know before you try anything with your phone A nandroid backup is a backup of everything. When you restore it, it should be exactly the same: apps, settings, texts, home screens etc.
You should be making a nandroid backup before you wipe / install anything unless you know exactly what you're doing, as it is a safe point to restore to if anything goes wrong. You can even move them off your sdcard to PC or cloud storage to save space and for safekeeping (normally stored in the /clockworkmod folder)
You can backup anything you like with apps like Titanium Backup. It is best used for your normal apps and app data. You can backup and restore /system apps and data, but this is very risky and I don't recommend it.
Personally I would recommend a full wipe and restore, setting everything up properly from the start as it should have been done in the first place. I'm assuming you're still S-ON:
- Install Titanium Backup, backup all your user apps and data (not system apps)
- Make sure your contacts are backed up to your Google account, backup SMS if you need to with another app
- Backup your whole sdcard to PC
- S-OFF with revolutionary
- Flash cm7r2 hboot using fastboot, this will optimise your actual internal memory more efficiently.
- Flash 4EXT recovery using fastboot
- Reformat your sdcard in 4EXT, partition with maximum 2GB ext4 partition, no swap
- Copy your sd card backup back
- Full wipe (wipe all partitions except sdcard)
- Flash ROM.zip
- Restore user apps + data with Titanium
Hey Eddie,
Thanks for you answer, really appreciate it.
I installed the custom rom on my phone more than a year ago, and back then i was really into it, now most of the details i forgot..
But it's S-OFF for sure, and i installed HBOOT also..i can't really remember how i formatted the SD card, is there a way to find that out ?
I will probably just install the same rom again, but first do a full wipe like you advised. Then it probably will work as smooth as it did in the beginning when i installed this ROM for the first time..
Do i need to reformat the SD-card again then, or is only a wipe enough?
Also, when installing apps, i now move them to SD card via the 'apps' menu -> move to SD , is that the right way to do it ? Or is there some other method ?

S-OFF means you unlocked the bootloader, it's a good start but nothing more. Explain 'installed HBOOT', did you already actually flash a different hboot? Write what is says on top of your bootloader screen. If it just says 'Alpharev', means you are actually still on stock hboot.
Like I said, if you can't remember how you partitioned your sdcard, you may have done it wrongly. Please reformat it from scratch as advised.

Reformat your sdcard from the start, do it the right way so you know you've done it the right way, rather than be uncertain...then follow instructions as above.
Roms like Mildwild have A2SD built in, you only need to keep apps on 'internal' to trick them to your sd-ext partition. 'Move to SD' is redundant, and moves part of the app to the FAT32 partition of your sd card. A2SD moves all of the app apk (and dalvik cache if you choose to), to the sd-ext which is where you want.
Other ROMs you need to activate A2SD manually, read the first post. Same rule still applies, don't use 'Move to SD', because if you do, you are not actually using your sd-ext partition...
Some ROMs like MildWild are also better installed on smaller hboots like cm7r2 to use your internal memory more efficiently (stock hboot is wasteful). Again instructions should be given in the first post of each ROM.

When i boot up in bootloader it says:
- revolutionary -
S-off
Hboot-6.93.1002
Radio etc..
Repartitioning is probably not necassery because i already think i did, but maybe do it again then..
A2SD:
This is what i did wrong all the time..i moved them to SD card via 'apps' in settings'..maybe this is why it got a little slower by time.
However i cant find any app called A2SD or is this a script that runs automatically ?
When i check the app 'freespace' it says : internal, microSD, Sd-ext, system.
thanks

Its a script so if your apps are on internal it will automatically trick them to move them to your sd ext which is the partition you have made which is 1gb recommended...

You think you already did it, and you have no idea how you did it...
Therefore: it is most likely is that you haven't done it, or you 've done it incorrectly.
If you've done it using clockworkmod recovery or minitool, they make bad partitions. It could be the exact reason you're having these slowdowns in the first place
You should do it with 4EXT recovery or gparted ONLY, nothing else. If neither sound familiar, then this increases your chances further that you have partitioned incorrectly...

Have a look again at freespace. You see all that free empty space on your /system partition? This is completely wasted redundant space.
You have exactly the same internal memory layout as before you rooted / S-OFF. With S-OFF you can change your actual internal memory layout by flashing a different hboot, see alpharev.nl.
By flashing a different hboot, you reduce your /system and /cache size -> and therefore increase your /data size (internal memory) = more space for apps :good: This is probably why you rooted in the first place...
So I believe you have narrowed it down to two choices:
- Keep full wiping...and never understand what you're doing...
- Follow the instructions and try to learn what you're doing and how your memory is actually being used Set everything up from scratch. It is the only way to guarantee you have a proper setup.

Hi Eddy,
Finally I got the time to set up everything properly on my (new) Htc Desire, cause i lost my old one
Here is what i've done so far:
- Got it Rooted via the method advised here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275632
- Then I S-Offed with Revolutionary script, and installed CWM 5.0.2.0 .. not really what you advised me but i wanted to test if it was working, cause i had this recovery on my old phone also.
- Then I flashed cm7r2 hboot using Android Flasher. Could not get it to work via CMD->Fastboot on windows.
- Now i end up with a boot loop, only giving me the white HTC screen. When booting up in Hboot, it says:
AlphaRev CM7 r2
S-Off
HBoot-6.93.1002
I can enter CWM recovery, but it gives me some errors like 'E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
And like i said: booting normally it ends up in a bootloop.
Did i do anything wrong, and what s the best way to move on now ?
Thanks in advance.

When u change hboot u have perform full wipe then reflash rom or restore nandroid backup. So in recovery wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache then reboot recovery then flash rom or restore nandroid backup if u have one.
Also ul prob need to partition ur sdcard for a2sd in roms so u must use 4ext recovery or gparted only. So again, flash 4ext recovery.

Ok thats clear, thanks for your reply.
I'd like to install 4Ext recovery, but it seems installing this recovery is done a little different from other recoveries right ?
Cause on their website it's done via an app frome the market..
Should i install a new rom first, then install 4Ext recovery ? Or can i flash 4Ext recovery from a zipfile in clockworkmod recovery ?

Go to desire general and ul see a thread by me "4ext recovery as PB99IMG" download and extract the file and flash the recovery.img via fastboot commands then once u have a rom installed u can download the 4ext app and update the recovery to latest version.

Installed it , and am trying to re-partition my SD-card (8 Gb) in the 4Ext recovery mode.
I followed this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2125513
Set 1st sd-ext partition to 2048 mb, skipped second, and skipped swap.
But then i get the message:
You new partiotion table would look like this:
Fat32: 5580 mb
SD-ext: 2048MB
Is that correct ? Shouldn't be all the memory on the SD-card partitioned to SD-ext ?

Okay thanks.
I thought that the whole SD-card would be partitioned as 4ext.
Is it true that A2SD now only uses the 4Ext partition (2gb) to trick apps to ?
Anyway, i'm happy to have my desire now set-up properly, so thanks for your help
I tried 2 Mildwild roms already, but didn't find a way to encrypt SD-card within these roms , does anybody knows if that's possible somehow ?
Any suggestions for other (Mildwild) Roms ? (tried MildWild MW-14 and MildWild CM-8.0 JG Stable)
Thanks.
