[Q] Best no Partition ROM

HI all
Just wondering if any one could recommend a good No partition ROM. Cos i cant be bothered messing about partitioning my SD card.
Thanks in advance.
Jonathan

U can go with any AOSP roms. Like oxygen, dev-null, redux etc.

I am really looking for something similar to stock as i like HTC sense.

Oxygen or devnull.
Delete unnecessary stuff from flash file, flash custom hboot like 80/5/352 from here (be sure your rom will fit on it) http://thalamus.ineige.org/misc/HBOOTS/ and you're ready to live without ext partitions. Sense rom takes a lot of system space = less data space which means you'll hit low space warning sooner or later.
I'm using Oxygen without ext partition for a long time.

Try this, Gingerbread with 2.1 + 3.0 Sense.
Can be flashed without ext partition.

wait for the official GB rom and just use that rooted

I'm using that Rom right now and although you don't need ext,I had to put it on as my memory got filled after installing 3 apps so I recommend aosp with a nice launcher

Now I have Oxygen rom with his modified hboot.

Best apps to SD

Hi! I have used the Revolutionary: S-OFF & Recovery Tool and got my phone S-off, rooted and with a custom recovery (ClockworkMod). Now I want to install an app that alows to transfer apps to SD without all the limitation of the native Android 2.3 app. I would prefer to keep my stock HTC rom and not having to instal a new rom. Which app do you think is the best for this?
I have searched a lot, and Link2SD https://market.android.com/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD&feature=search_result seem to be the best. Can anyone confirm or suggest better apps? What are their addvantages/disadvanages comparing to Link2SD?
Thank you a lot!

Yea that app is quite ok for beginners, but the best solution would be a init.d script that symlinks like on any custom rom.
However the init.d folder is not initialized by the stock kernel on boot, so if you are not up to tinkering too much the above solution should be ok

Disadvanages are there's no linking of data to sd and libs need to relink on boot.
Data of every app remain on data (user) partition and soon or later you will get warning low space.
I currently have installed 135 apps, 128 linked to sd and 7 on sd, and have free 52mb.
There's no better app.
Better is rom with data2sd

Gingerbread 2.3.3 RUU Rooted S-Off with Link2SD partition 512MB

There are rooted Stock HTC roms pinned in the Everything Desire Section where you could just pick a ROM that supports Data2SD (like SuperNova or LeeDroid or Oxygen). I'm not sure if Data2SD works on CWM, but it won't hurt to try flashing the Data2SD script on top of the ROM itself.
If you use an app to "transfer to SD", you will still run into "memory space low" problems soon. I have 180 apps on my phone, and still have 1.3 Gb of free space because my Data2SD partition is 2Gb. Never encountered lags or bootloops (I'm using Oxygen, as my sig shows)

Any more experiences with Link2SD? Thank you!

I tried this app, it is performing not bad so far, this is good choice if you want to have stock ROM and more internal space Thanks.

I´m quite happy with it too. Working 100%. Highly recommended!

[Q] Some questions about CosmicDan's multiboot kernel

I have been reading xda-developers forums since like a year ago when I got my beloved Xperia Play, but as adviced by many "recognized contributors" in their signatures, I always searched first instead of asking when a question popped up in my head. And fortunately I always found the answer.
I created my profile just like 6 months ago, but despite I have thanked a lot throgh the "thanks" button to people who posted something I got, or just contributed with something useful, that's not enough . I WANT TO THANK ALL XDA's DEVS!!!!!!!!! without you the android world would be very boring!!!!!!!
And now...... my questions:
1. I want to flash CosmicDan's TurboKernel 3.1 in order to dualboot a GB rom with an ICS or JB one. In this guide by fma965 is explained the whole process to follow, BUT the ins't explained how to deal with basebands (neither in the original kernel thread). Since full wipe/factory reset, flashing kernel or ROM doesn't affect the baseband, I wonder if the four kernel slots share the same baseband, and if not, how to install the corresponding baseband for each ROM separately. Also I wolud like you to reccomend me the best baseband for a GB-ICS or GB-JB combo (I say this cause I have always used the -36 with patched libs, fist the ones for ARC, then the Xperia Play ones from this thread thanks to romcio47, so I've never tried other baseband versions) If you can, leave a link to baseband's download or thread
2. I feel some preference for this rom DiXperia 2 'Everlasting' | Performance. Stability. Experience. because as the title says, you can really feel the performance and experience your games in a whole new level. But it is not multiboot aware, and the dev (DiKeJ) is retired. In this post CosmicDan explains how to make it Multoboot Aware, but I can avoid that by just flafhing it in the first/internal slot right???
3. I want you to share your experiences with multibooting, like configurations and tweaks you used (I mean supercharger, adreno drivers.....)
but mostly the following question: have you liked it? is it worth it in a long shot? I have multiboot Windows XP and Win 7 but I never use the 7, I just installed it to have a first impression and to learn how to work with it, but after 2 or 3 weeks, never touched it again so......
4. Nandroid backup: CosmicDan says that it's safe to restore a Turbo kernel backup if you also go back to previous kernel (the one before TK), as long as userdata partition is not too big for the old kernel. So, how do we common users know if the userdata is too big or not?
I have an R800a with unlocked bootloader by alejandrissimo and rooted MIUI Australia. Thanks in advance!!!!

1. Use the FTF with baseband from turbo kernel op the pheonix vendor.ftf
2. Yes you can install to first and the copy to other slots even if they are not multiboot aware.
3. i use this kernel all the time but rarely multiboot, works well though, no tweaks needed for me atleast
4. check to see if the userdata is above 380mb if it is then it will not be restorable,
any thing else?

Just to confirm (before i mess something up), is it safe to put a non multiboot aware ROM like NXT on the first slot of this kernel and then having slimbean on the second slot?

thanks for the reply!!!! I just have the chance to login to xda until today cause the internet was cut due to repairs in the building where I live
During that time I tried the kernel and flashed DiXperia ROM and slimbean and both run smooth. Good wifi signal but always 2 bar signal on cellular network when I usually get 4, on both ROMs. Waiting for xDarKMario's v3
A final question: If I change to another kernel, maybe CM10 from FXP when an if its completely done, can I just leave 2/3/4 partitions on the sdcard and then transfer them to the pc if I mind to return to TurboKernel later? And if so, will TK recognize the former partitions safely instead of repartitioning and restoring all those nandroid backups?
Sorry for asking so much, but its better to be sure before screwin' up something

Thanks for your help!!!! you're relly nice

One more question
If I have to switch back to a non-multiboot kernel, like Lupus-v11 JB for example, do I have to flash stock firmware to set the partitions to stock? Or will flashing the new kernel automatically repartition it to stock sizes? Wedgess mentions that you need to wipe all the partitions... urm.. how exactly do I go about doing that
Sorry for the noob question... but just wanted to be sure.

Flash stock ftf and then flash the kernel. Then go and flash the New kernel also delete the turbo and twrp folders from your sd card and wipe data cache and dalvik cache in recovery of new kernel before flashing rom. That should have a clean fresh install so you don't have any problems. Also don't forget to back up your apps as well as make a nandroid backup just in case

[Q] Trouble with Xperia S and PAC rom

Hey,
I'd been using the PAC rom for a while and have had problems after updating to ES File Explorer 3 with it force closing (the older version worked fine!).
I see the screen for a second then get sent back to the launcher. CM File Manager still works though.
I had the same problem with Google Play music and Apollo, but I just use PowerAmp anyway so it doesn't bother me.
All other apps like Chrome etc. still worked fine.
So I did a system wipe and upgraded from PAC v22 -> v22.1.1 (system wipe, cache wipe, dalvik wipe, permissions etc.) and it didn't fix it.
The new rom caused another problem though, now my phone will work fine for about 6~ hours on standby, then slowly become sluggish and unresponsive, to the point where I have to reboot to use it again. So I obviously formatted system/cache/dalvik/permissions and did a reinstall, but it didn't fix anything.
I my only guess is that there might be something wrong with the partitioning or filesystem? I don't know what to check to figure out what the problem is though.
Thanks

Have you try to wipe data?
Fresh install always fix problems.

Backup your current rom.
Do a complete fresh install of PAC including wiping data. Re download your most used (necessary) apps and try it for a few days. Hopefully it'll just be corrupted data somewhere and not a hardware issue. Cus the latest pure pac is very smooth and fast for me. And i too always use es file explorer.

Try the SIM in another phone, see if the same thing happens
Try another network SIM in the Desire as well, see if you get the same problems

Better yet, make a nandroid backup, and flash the 2.3.3 GB RUU
If you still get the problem on stock firmware, on different SIMs on different networks, then you likely have hardware problem, not software.
Hboot will not affect anything.

i tried what you guys sayd and it worked. so i tried this version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2131790 and its working to, but now i have a new problem :S

That's correct as you are still on stock hboot
Your internal memory will not show 'internal+sd-ext'
As long as you have correctly partitioned your sdcard with 4ext or gparted, and run the a2sd script everything should be working fine
Install an app like DiskUsage to check. Browse to your sd-ext partition and see if your apps and dalvik are being moved there

You can only change hboot depending on the ROM's /system size. That ROM will only fit into stock hboot, however A2SD should still work regardless, please check it.
Stock hboot has a large /system, and small /data (147MB) which is why it looks like you have low memory. It's exactly the same as before you s-off / rooted.
Most Gingerbread AOSP ROMs (e.g. CM, oxygen) have a much smaller /system size. They can fit into hboots with much smaller /systems (e.g. cm7r2 or OxygenR2 hboot), and therefore they do have larger /data (internal memory)

but with cyanogen rom i could see 1gd on sd ext, shouldnt be the same on this paranandroid rom?

I always use int2sd script, if you apply him in recovery your internal memory should have 1gb. Not all roms is compatible. I use this with mildwild mw10 and work perfect and in this Rom script is on default, you must only flash Rom forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357257
