Hi,
Which is the best rom to use with a 4gb class 4 sd card for the Desire, I have been running the reflex s rom which was fast and stable on my device, although I did have a class 6 sd, but my partners device it doesn't run well at all, it's slow and laggy.
Class 4 should be fast enough for A2SD+ which you can find in almost every ROM. You can even try ROMs with Data2sd I think, but it depends on the quality of you card if it's going to run smooth (or boot at all). Try to avoid dalvik2sd though.
So any ROM really... Except maybe sense 3.5, because you rely heavily on your sd card.

Thanks Ronok, I am currently giving one of the runny 3.5 roms a try, so far its running better than the old 2.1/3.0 hybrid rom, but I will try the sense 3.0 to see if that's faster.

for instance, i got class 4. i've found data2sd slow, but dalvik2sd works perfectly.
apologies for confusion, but i believe you're better off just trying some ROMs and experimenting.

Hey, XDA
I'm having strange issues with fresh 16 GB microSDHC (Class 4) and Starburst ROM (Lite 1.3.3.3), both with Data2SD and without it.
I get up to 2200 in Quadrant Advanced, XviD and FLAC seems to play fine, but actual performance is much worse. Sometimes it won't ask for PIN, won't turn on WiFi, fail to wake up, apps load very slowly. No F/Cs, luckily.
That card doesn't have any manufacturer info written on it (bought it in store however, packaging said "Nokia", who knows). It seems to work fine, full 16 GB, connected to PC, though, no write speed issues, too.
Finally, I've restored to stock 2.2 ROM so as to exclude phone hardware and flaky sdcard issues. It works like a charm, so problem seems to be in software.
Also, Starburst ROM has worked fine for months on stock 4 GB SanDisk (Class 4), including Data2SD feature (the best thing made for Desire, hands down).
If DroidZone or Sibere sees this thread, big ups, guys - you've made one of the best ROM / feature for Desire
If you have some ideas of what I might've done wrong or whether it could be an issue with Starburst ROM, I'd be thankful for some clarification.
P.S. Running with S-OFF & ClockworkMod 2.5.1.8
P.S. I'd put this in the Starburst ROM thread, but can't due to this being my first post.
Hey cralias,
you said that "Starburst ROM has worked fine for months on stock 4 GB SanDisk (Class 4), including Data2SD feature". Is it the same rom and the same data2sd, which you have installed at the new card? Nothing changed?
That was an older version, 1.2 Lite (I think?) when there was only one Data2SD version available.
However, 1.3.3.3 Lite seems to work fine with the 4 GB card, both with and without Data2SD (Uberfast edition).
I will try Standard Edition today, to see if maybe updated kernel fixes stuff...

When you very first installed starburst did you restart right away and install the data2sd installer?
I been running starburst now for over 1 month and had no problems also using a 16gb PNY sd card from play.com

Yup. Didn't configure Wifi nor Google account, just Language, Timezone and then reboot to recovery.
No luck with 1.3.3.5 either.
Could it be an issue with FAT32 allocation unit size? I've set 8K (using EASEUS here, it's default).

Try using the newer data 2sd scripts with xe or we. they're on the beta section. Try a re partition and install the rom followed by new script. Should eliminate lags for slow cards
Swyped with my Starburst based Desire. Forgive any typos!
No luck.
Well, I've come to a conclusion that all problems come from a flaky SD card, whatsoever. Phone doesn't like it. I will use it for some other purpose until it dies of old age.
Just another lesson for me not to buy crap at stores.
Thanks everyone.
And once again a special one for Droidzone and all involved for Starburst ROM/Data2SD. This thing roxx0rz
Hi Cralias, you've already drawn the correct conclusion, but just to reassure you, I've had exactly the same kinds of problems with Starburst and kingston sdhc cards. Starburst worked fine on the sandisk that came with the phone but not on two brand new kingston 16gb class 4 cards. Got a sandisk 16gb class 4 and Starburst was fine.
You're right, Droidzone and Sibre desrve mad props for this ROM, it's how the device should have come out of the box.
As you've correctly deduced, the key to making Starburst reach it's potential is a reliable and quick SDHC card.

i just downloaded and flashed the Supernova DATA2SD rom and it works really well. its just slow, I ran quadrant, it got stuck at "I/O" and stuff like that, i have a 519mb EXT4 partition. Any idea why is my phone behaving like such?
Because data2sd is slow in general
To get data2sd working well, an ext4 partition with min 1 gb is required.
I been using this Rom for age's and its super fast, if you don't have a good SD card it will lag. You need class 4 and above a good manufactured one.
Has for data2SD being slow its far from it, if you have the right SD card. I'll say this Rom much faster that stock, only time it lags a bit is when installing

Lag is common when installing apps, it isn't related to sibere's scripts.
i have class 4, u said minimum 1gb? i just need 1gb and wont lag rite?

Try it, also use Gparted for partitioning your SD card
Do I nid to reinstall data2sd again? If I resize my ext4

I flashed this ROM and was using a 1.95gb ext4 partition with a class 4/6 Kingston 16gb SD...
Once I flashed the ROM my Desire was running extremely slow and many force closes.. basically I couldn't open anything..
I put up with that for an hour and rebooted before giving up and going back to CyanogenMod 7
As far as I know I installed correctly.. should I have waited longer for the system to settle?
I really want the data2sd feature
Any help would be greatly appreciated
[SOLVED]
Can run simple2ext app from Android Market to move all apps to ext4 while using CM7 ROM
Great solution.. CyanogenMod is a great ROM made even better with this app
Bump. I've finally managed to install the new SuperNova Extreme Classic Official Gingerbread ROM (v2.0.1.1), and overall I love it.
However, I have a lot of lag when it comes to adding/removing/moving widgets, opening and installing apps, etc. The lag is so bad that I get constant force closes because the apps are taking that long to open...
Does anybody know why this could be happening?
I have a 16gb Class 6 SD card, with two partitions; Fat32 and a 1.8gb Ext4.
I have 16 GB class 6 card as well and Data2SD and Data2EXT are slow like ****. I could make myself a cup of coffee until my phone gets usable (usable = homescreen starts).
Had my Desire for nearly a year and I cannot remember the number of ROM's I've tried! CyanogenMod 7 is still a favourite, as is Runnymede 4.0.1 however for pure speed and great battey life an AOSP GB ROM like Oxygen can't be beaten. I'm currently using MildWild 2.2.2 ICS themed Oxygen based ROM with one small addition - Data2SD.
Using a Stock HTC or Ginger Bread ROM usually leaves you with about 124mb of internal memory regardless of the size of SD card you have. Trust me; once you've installed about 20 normal Apps (Google Maps, a few games etc) you'll get the message 'Internal Memory Low'.
A great dev by the name of sibere came up with a great script for the desire - Dat2SD. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852219
This moves the internal storage to the SD card allowing for up to 2GB of internal storage!!!
So on my Desire currently I have 140 Apps including ROM included Apps like Calendar, Calculator, Radio, etc and 3rd Party Apps like Fifa 12 & GTA III. Total Storage space is 1.97GB and Free space is 1.64GB! SD card Total Space is 12.98GB with available space 10.12GB. The SD card space is for things like music, pictures and USB storage and downloads.
Installation and setup is quite straight forward with most ROM's - AOSP and Sense based ROM's can both handle Data2SD. And as far as performance - hardly and lags or FC's on any ROM's I've tried.
Thanks to Sibere for all his work.
If it wasn't for this great data2sd are desire would be nothing. I used a couple data2sd methods and I find the one works best if you have cm7/r2 Hboot this keeps dalvik cache on really nand. In dew section we have another great dev working on another way and if it all works out we will be seeing some great sense 3.0 plus roms.

It's true tho just think If you had to put up with 150mb data. You would be for ever uninstalling apps for free space.

Data2sd is great and packed in Droidzone's great rom is idiotproof, but there are other methods. Check my sig. I have more apps than I definitely need and I don't plan on running out of space anytime soon.

lol You getting mixed up I mean has a hole. Data2sd/data2ext Am using xd2sdx by amarullz witch is the best I have used to date. Sibere is also great. I didn't mead just one persons data2sd was best.
First off: sorry if this is a stupid question, but how do I find out, which class my sdcard has?
Secondly: Do I need to repartition my sdcard for all of these scripts or are there some that just work with a folder of some sort?
Actually I don't need much more space, as long as I can work with a ROM that fits in data++ ... and I managed to get ICS working with that now
Thank you!

On SD card you will see a number 4,6,10 if they is no number its a class 2. For partition you will need to read the Rom thread and see what they require, most is a FAT32 with ext4.
They is a couple different types of data2sd if you click the desire index link in my sig and scroll down to section (how to get more storage) you'll see what's on offer.
Thank you.
I guess it's slow card then. I don't really want to repartition my sdcard, because then I have to move everything to my pc ... aso ... aso. and I try to keep my phone clean anyway. With switching back and forth between Oxygen and ICS/sandvold it's anyway useless having to reinstall many apps...
Hi
I set my desire up with the supernova rom but had to ditch it after a couple of days due to very frequent random freezes. (data2sd)
Now I've got Leedroid 3.0.8.2 and that's giving me random freezes though to a much lesser extent.(a2sd+)
The Rom before I used Oxygen with no A2SD and this gave me no crashes but I desperately need the space due to my works email taking up all my storage!
So basically I wonder what I should do next. Is there anything I could try to fix my current setup. Is it worth reflashing? What's the likely culprit for the pull battery freezes?
My SD Card is a class 4 sandisk 8gb.
Alternatively I need a ROM which has
Very Stable!
A2SD+
Sense (Any version) OR…
Equivalent to 'Lock phone after' in Screen Unlock dialog*
*My work requires a PIN but the above dialog stops the pin being required if I have used the phone within 5 minutes!
I'm not bothered about the latest sense or loads of bells and whistles.
Thanks for any help!
Check Runnymede AIO.
I'd repartition the sd card before I do anything else.
SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk.
I got a class 6 4gb ad and I tried several ROM all with the CM7 and 1gb part.
I experienced just 1 freeze with the insert coin.
My old sd just burned out on the cool3d
Now I'm on revolution, pretty much visual stunning but have bugs on fast boot
Is cm7 extending the memory as you want?

Sorry to jump in here, but I had issues along the lines of the OP, your post caught my eye.
I went from an 8GB card to a 16GB card and my Desire would freeze at least twice per day. It sometimes went a whole day, but when I woke up, it would have crashed, always required a battery out and in to fix.
Went back to my 8GB card yesterday and its been fine since!
Is partitioning required to solve this? Would love to go back to my 16GB card!
Cheers
Check your sd card, if not - ask sandvold he lost one this way. Can be a NAND bug.

Likely to be a problem with the SD card; as others have said, re-format is a good place to start. Personally I'm enjoying the MildWild ROM (3.2). Can't find a lock phone after xx option though, sorry. It's very quick and seems very stable.

Yeah people try this one first. Sd cards can go bonkers sometimes and a fresh repartition/format can do wonders.
via xda app
just like everyone else has said...repartition your sd...now for the second question I recommend using AN-droid 2.1.0 for a new rom....its stock GB, fast, smooth and really responsive...hope it helps bud...

If you're looking for stable and fast ROM with a2sd method, I'll recommend you CyanogenMod 7.1 with int2sd script. It's really fast and works fine on most popular HBOOTS (stock, data++, CM7 r2).
Remember the order of flashing!
first: cyanogenmod 7.1
then: gapps
and after that: INT2SD
I have MildWild on my HTC Desire, its small enough to fit on the Internal Storage and give you approx 240mb for data/apps or it can be installed on EXT4 SD card partition.
I've tried multiboot with the turbokernel but the ROM (first slot ICS ROM, second slot GB ROM) I put on the second slot was slow as hell and it was also crashing and soft-rebooting continuously I know that the speed of the ROM in the second slot depends on the speed of the SDcard and I was wondering how much fast should be a SDcard to run the ROM without lags ?
I've tried with a 4 class 16GB SDcard but I also have a 10 class SDcard but it has got just 8 GB of storage anyway can the 10 class SDcard run the ROMs on the second slot smoothly ?
I hope you can tell me this cuz I don't really want to test this since I use my 8GB sdcard on another phone and it will take me too much time to backup, test and eventually restore everything...I know I'm lazy

Uhm, ok, I'm very curious to see how this will work so I'm definitely gonna try this. I'll report back my experience for who's interested to this :good:
Ok finished testing. Tried the following ROMs:
Slot1: ICS Stock ROM: Ultimate HD v6 by smokerman
Slot2: GB Stock ROM: BOS by Pizza_Dox
Lag on second slot is much reduced as expected (il still laggy on the Settings menu, don't understand why), no forced reboots. Tried GTA VC but the game wasn't enjoyable (1,4 GHz OC): it was laggy most of the time but on some places it was running without any lag.
So I think that the best thing to do is always putting the gaming ROM on the first slot and the daily use ROM on the second since it will run smoothly enough if you use a 10class microSD.
