[Q] HELP HERE regarding MIUI XJ 1.4.29 for Desire

I recently flashed this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957291 Gingerbread version on my HTC Desire GSM, and its working fine.
Just one problem.
It says I do not have sufficient memory remaining to install more apps but my SD Card still has almost 1GB left and my A2SD+ has almost 300MB left.
I used A2SDKiller (flashed right after flashing the ROM) and Data2SDInstaller (flashed after 1st reboot)
Is my method right?
Pls help out, thanks.

download terminal emulator from market and type this:
su
a2sd reinstall
this should work..

it did not work.. after the process ended in terminal emulator, it rebooted.. after entering the OS, most of my apps "aren't installed" but the OS detected my A2SD+..

GOD i had to restore my apps all over again after doing that a2sd reinstall.
my problem was that the OS did not allow me to install apps saying that my memory is full. but i still managed to install some. its like it has a limit set up some where.

and under Manage Applications? my list of applications are there! but they are icon-less and are named after their apks i.e. com.adobe.flashplayer. and after tapping on one of them, i have the option to Uninstall. how can that happen when i cant open the app cos its "Not installed"?

The reason for your issue is most likely that you grabbed the A2SD+ version of the ROM which leaves the dalvik-cache on the internal NAND of your phone. While leaving it on NAND is faster than moving it to the SD card, you run into the issue of it filling up. I suggest, if you feel like reflashing a ROM, flash the D2SD version of the ROM. It's more stable in my experience than D2Whatever and note that the speed loss is minimal. I did not notice the difference when I switched between an A2SD ROM and a D2SD ROM.

I had same problem. Failed to run App2SD+ from terminal.
Just download darktremor and reflash it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=719151
Open terminal and run those commands. That solves me the problem

currently flashing Data2Ext version, then flash darkTremor. hopefully it solves my problem.
Anyway, i was just wondering, does this allow the OS to detect my ext partition as "internal storage" just like how CM7 did? and CM7 allowed all apps to be moved to sd manually, MIUI does not.
i don't like the fact that MIUI detects my ext partition as A2SD+

[Q] Starting off new ?

Hello everyone,
I have rooted my Desire a long time ago, now I want to try out a few custom ROMs. However, I think I made a few mistakes because Data2SD doesn't work for me.
Can i just start off new ? For example just running Unrevoked³ again ?
If yes : Why doesn't Unrevoked³ work ? It just says "Error: failed to get root. Is your firmware too new?". Currently I have installed Android 2.3.3 SuperNova ROM. My H-BOOT version is "HBOOT-0.75.0000". I think my Display is SLCD.
Thanks in advance !
Cheers Limette =)

if you are already rooted, this is what unrevoked should show.
anyway, your root was succesful, and it has got nothing to do with Data2SD.
if for some reason you think it might not work, make sure you have EXT partition AFTER fat32 one. and make sure it works ok, Gparted for example.
other than that you should provide more info, like what you did with your sdcard (how did you partition it, what layout etc.) and why do you think it is not working.

Thanks for your reply.
Actually I did partition the SD card how the tutorial told me to.
1st partition = ~14GB FAT32
2nd partition = 1GB EXT4
Then I installed the custom ROM and booted once. Then i went into Recovery mode and installed Data2SD installer. Everytihng should be ok so far, but the Phone wont boot after that, even tho the blue LED flashes. So I thought starting off new would be a good idea ^^.
So Umm, now I'm not quite sure what to do :O
Thanks in advance.
Cheers Limette.

well, a good thing to try now is installing some other ROM (possibly one with DATA2XXX already included) and checking if this works
also, what rom are you trying to flash
and have you used any aligment.zip flashable that were supposed to do some cool stuff with your ext ?

I only tried this ROM so far : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045824
Here is what I did :
1. Partition my SD card ( 14GB FAT32 primary, 1GB EXT4 primary)
2. Recovery mode -> install zip from SD card -> new radio version
3. Reboot
4. Recovery mode -> install zip from SD card -> SuperNova ROM
5. Reboot
6. Recovery mode -> install zip from SD card -> Data2SD installer
7. Reboot (system is stuck here)
If I remove the SD card the SD card the system will boot and if I dont even install Data2SD system will also boot. It just wont boot if Install Data2SD. I did nothing more.
However, I just tried to install InsertCoin CM7 but that won't even start at all. Thats pretty much the reason why I'm trying to redo all of my first steps. Or do you think my problem is somewhere else?
please let me know if you need more information and thanks for your help so far
Cheers Limette

insertcoin CM7 version would require you to be s-off and running custom hboot (partition layout in phone) so that is why it is not booting up.
try insertcoin A2SD+ STOCK HBOOT, if it works, then your EXT is fine, if not then i suggest you double check it.

Hboot 0.75 means you are still s-on so InsertCoin cm7 will never work for you.
I suggest you to soff (read some tutorial first) and flash cm7 hboot.
Then u will be able to flash IC cm7. With that version u will not need those weird data2something scripts

Thanks for the replies !
I just tried the InsertCoin A2SD v20 ROM its booting but its not working correctly. I get crash messages like every 3 seconds
"The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
I might try to S-OFF my phone after i read the tutorial. But until then, do you guys know what I did wrong ?
Cheers Limette

Few people with hboot below 0.93 experienced some problems with installing gb roms.
1. What is your recovery? AmonRa or CWM and what version?
2. Would you consider using Froyo rom? They are extremely optimized and stable, while gb still have some glitches.
3. You can of course s-off, but i'd check/repartition sd card first. Stick with ext3 partition for now, a bit more support for it if you get mad with flashing different roms

1. CWM v2.5.0.1
2. I used a Froyo ROM for like 9 months now ^^ So I want to try Gingerbread out ^^
3. I'll try to repartition my SD card with Ext3 , if that won't help I'll try to S-OFF my Phone.
I'll let you know if it worked.
Cheers Limette.

I managed to Fix the Error message "The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again". I accidentally forgot to wipe all data before flashing :$
Thanks for all the help =)

you wrote you have clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.1 ? you sure it is not 2.5.0.7 ?
anyways, both of them are really old, and this can cause bootloops when new updater script is used in a flashable.zip file
since you are S-ON, you cant premanently flash new recovery, but you can fake-flash which is putting clockworkmod_3.0.2.8.zip file on sdcard, and then flashing it while in 2.5.0.7(or .1) and this will boot up the newest version (but you have to do this everytime you enter recovery)
then you can try flashing both ROM you chose and the DATA2SD installer with 3.0.2.8, this might fix it

[Q] Rom installation problems

I'm hoping someone can help me with rom installation problems, I have reached a stalling
point and have not found a similar problem in the forums.
My phone is an SCLD Desire, pvt3, rooted and s-offed, cwm 3.0.0.5, radio
32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27. The SD card is a transcend 8Gb class 6 with a 1.5Gb ext4
partition, formatted with gparted. Stock hboot.
I have so far tried to load both RcMix InsertCoin A2SD versions with no success.
I am following the instructions for both Roms to the letter;
1. Wipe data
2. wipe cache partition
3. wipe dalvik cache
4. reboot recovery
5. install rom from sd card
Both roms tell me that they have loaded successfully from zip, then I reboot the system.
Both start to load, show their respective logos and then do the following:
InsertCoin will get me to the sim unlock screen, I unlock the sim and screen says loading,
then I get to a screen with wallpaper, notification bar and sense bar, but no icons or widgets.
When the screen times out and I wake it, I get wallpaper and notification bar only.
The phone will not even power down.
RcMix starts to load, shows the rcmix animated logo for a while, then the logo ceases
its animation. If the screen dims and I wake it, it shows the static rcmix logo only.
I have left the phone alone for over a half an hour on each attempt to see if the roms
would load successfully.
I use Ubuntu and have found that I cannot transfer files to and from the ext4 partition. I get a permission denied every time I try. I'm not sure if this is normal or not.
Can anyone please help , this is driving me nutz.
Thank you.

I see the problem. Your radio is too old, flash the latest one

I think it has nothing to do with the radio. You just forgot to wipe /system, too. Do this and try to flash again.

I had same radio+ same problem
Not saying it without reason, but if you wipe ALL USERDATA? it's the same right? and i forgot to see that one But anyway if that doesn't work it's most likely the radio

Yes you are right. It's the same. We'll see what helps.
Swyped from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Updated Radio
I've upgraded to the latest radio version 5.17.05.23 and tried again, making sure everything was wiped. The installation gets further than last time and after a couple of reboots I get the setup screen but there is no keyboard to input the details, and sense constantly force closes. There was also no sim unlock screen. When I tried to shut down the phone it went into a bootloop.
I will try another install to verify.
Tried fresh install again but am getting partially loaded rom: sense ui is working but force closes on any interaction, when I tried to go to settings it says "the linked program is no longer on your phone", no sim unlock screen, no keyboard. Bootlooped again on powering down.

I read some where in XDA forum that the CWM 3.0xxx is buggy.
Try to use CWM 2.5.0.7 and see.
Sent from my HTC Desire

It seems like a silly question, do you have an ext partition? If not make one with gparted, or use AmonRa recovery(that is able to partition you sd), i find it much better than CWM
If you already have an ext partition is it 1GB?

Flash RaRecovery. Do full wipe, reinstall rom. I use RCMix for months and don't have any issues.

It gets stranger???
In reply to previous posts:
Firstly thank you all for your suggestions.
Genie4all:
There is a post which says that cwm 2.5.?? does not handle ext4 and recommends cwm 3.0.0.5, I was previously on 2.5.?? and was getting the same problem.
TopGear63z:
Yes I have a 1.5Gb ext3, previously ext4 partition
I thought I would see if changing from ext4 to ext3 would make any difference, also ran melethron's alignment script before reinstalling RcMix again. It made no difference.
However I also decided to try LeeDroid 3.0.8 and it loaded and ran perfectly.
This is making so sense (no pun intended) now, after all there should be no difference in the way a rom is loaded on a stock hboot. Could it be that LeeDroid is Sense 1 and the others are 1.9/2.1/30 hybrids?
Would AmonRa recovery really make a difference?
Any other suggestion would be greatly appreciated as I really want to experience those new sense 3.0 goodies.
Thanks.

Resize your ext partition to 1GB with gparted see if that work.and also try to flash it with amonra i read it somewhere on rcmix thread that this rom works great with amonRa though i flashed this rom on both cmw and amonra without any issue.
which rom version did you tried bravo or cm7?

I had the partition at 1Gb previously but in linux it reported only 974Mb free, journalling took the rest so then I decided to resize to 1.5Gb to ensure that at leat 1Gb was free.
I've been trying the Bravo versions of both Roms. Now I think it's time to try Ra recovery and see if that works, I'll report back on the results.
Thanks

if that don't work then change your partition to cm7r2 and flash the cm-7 version and Rcmix cm7 version is fast and smoother than bravo.

You know that 1GB is not the least, it's recommended maximum, you should at least have 512mb to let the rom work. I have 1.1GB ext and no problems but i had when i used 1.8GB, so i actually think that's the problem. Only if it still doesn't work after using AmonRa's recovery ofcourse

I'm on RcMix with ext4 and CWM 2.5 and it works like charm.
Try formatting your card to FAT32 and use gparted to create a 1gb ext portion at the end and try.
Also do a full wipe.
Sent from my HTC Desire

1.5 gb ext3 is really good and will make no problem.. it might be caused by bad mounting the ext3 partition... go to applications then Manage Applications and see if any grey applications there...

Solved
Changed my recovery to AmonRa 2.0.1 as suggested and am now running RcMix successfully.
Thank you all for your help and suggestions.

[Q] Sandvoids ICS

Love this rom, but having a problem.
I installed the a2sd script and now when I download certain apps it reboots and stays on boot loop.
I have to pull the battery and go into recovery to restore but the zip is no longer there, it is wiping the zip from the SD card so I have to reinstall it !!!!!
I tried installing the rom without the script but then run into low memory problems.
Any ideas please

What hboot are you on? Which Sandvold did you install 0.7 or 0.8? What install options did you choose?
On stock hboot:
Do a full wipe (not SD), flash again , choose either stock (a2sd (typical install) or amarullz (custom install)). If you chose a2sd then after install open terminal and type:
su
a2sd install
Yes on move Dalvik-cache
No on move App-data
Yes to reboot
The stock a2sd and the amarullz have been tested stable on stock hboot, there seem to be more issues with CM7r2 hboots.

What is this particular a2sd script? I am assuming your already created a partition FAT32 (Primary) followed by 1/2 gb ext4 partition beforehand.
Also I never seen anything that deletes the rom in the sd card. Perhaps you are formatting the sd card in recovery.
I would advise to change hboot to stock, do full wipe(wipe/factory reset,wipe cache+dalvik, system, data and sd ext). If you choose custom install, and got sd card class 4 or above, then I recommend you don't go for the stock a2sd, you are much better with Amarullz.

Some things to check :
- check your partitions' alignment (from recovery)
- did you reply 'n' when a2sd script asked you about moving data to sd ?
- did you change your governor to conservative (assuming you're on stock or tobby_d's kernel ?)
I met that kind of behavior usually just after a fresh install when I forgot about 2 last steps mentionned above.

Thanks so much guys for your help.
I was on version 0.7, and with Y to app-data to SD. I have installed version 0.8 and followed all your instructions and all seems well.
Thank you again very much

[Q] Rom not installing

Hi
I have a Desire GSM rooted and S-ON RA-Desire v2.0.1 stock HBOOT Ext 4 1Gb latest radio ends in 23
Have been running on a custom rom for over a year now and want to install the latest copy of the same rom. The md5sum is identical for the zip file to the source.
Booted into recovery wiped all data, cache and then devlik-cache.
I have turned off signature verification and then selected my rom zip on SD card.
Installed the rom rather there were no errors and it took about 20 seconds (seemed too fast).
Next in recovery I did a reboot.
Now the screen went white with green HTC logo in centre for about 1 minute then after this a black screen with android written logo for about another 2 minutes.
Eventually phone boots into rom but it is not the new rom it is the exact same old rom.
I can see from applications listed that I am still super user so not lost root.
In settings software information everything is listed identical to what I had before.
The contents of the zip files are different so it is not the same rom being flashed.
Choosen rom is
[ROM][Cool Sense][5 April]Cool Droid v3|2.3.4|FASTEST|Data++/Stock (currently have Icecream sense v2 installed which is an earlier version of the same rom)
I did not install the alignment zip as I had already setup to use an earlier rom version and ext4.
What have I done wrong in trying to install my choosen rom please?
I feel like I must have missed something.

Not sure which recovery you have, with 4ext I boot to recover, format everything except sd then install zip and it seems to work, obviously everything then needs reinstalling from the backup you'll have made

Hi
Unrevoked 3, as I have one of those odd PVT4 Desire phones 4000 erase size using RA Recovery. (something like that sorry if technical references are not super clear).
I use Titatium backup so reinstalling wont take long just need the ROM to install.
This is a fast glitch free rom using sense so I do not want to try a different rom as it gave me a year without trouble. Only doing this to start again with the space issue needing a refresh.

I have cleared delivk cache again and flashed my original v2 rom and that worked showing expected progress reports.
So I thought would try flashing the new v3 rom, and see if I got any joy this time.
Still no joy, it looks like it starts as two lines appear then it says complete with no obvious error.
So I reflashed the original v2 rom again and will go with that as I need a phone more then I need to play.
Odd.
Maybe the new v3 rom needs sOFF but as far as I could read it does not.

Even installing the previous rom things are still not right.
The apps that normally come with the rom are not installed such as Demon controller, No adds and Busy Box. I can see that they are in the zip file they are just not been added.
I can manually install Busy Box from the market so I know it is not a permission thing.
Titatium Backup is seeing my Ext4 partion (it calls it an ap2sd but it is showing) so I don't think there is a problem with my SD car arrangement.
I stupidly do not have a nandroid of the previous install I can restore.
So any ideas please why the previously working and installed rom is not reinstalling fully with all it's built in apps?
Anything I could try please?

Looks like I have identified the problem, my SD card is flakey and Gparted reports sick partion table that wont fix so the Ext4 partion was not been seen which is probably why the install failed and the apps were not installing.
New Sd card will be ordered and then start again.
Thankfully I dod have an uptodate SD card backup.
Phone is working just as a phone for the next few days.
These micro SD cards do not last long at this rate I get 1 year from them as this will be my third ordered.

Go to S-OFF, is better and mandatory for a lot of rom.

New card and more fiddle work with Gparted and now waiting for setup to complete as old v2 rom is installed. It works fast and is smooth plus has HTCsense so I can keep my sync capability so will be staying with it so I can live without S-OFF
Gparted when I followd the recommendations I kept getting a corrupt card on my phone so this is what worked for me.
Format card on phone
Then put card into usb card reader and place in PC
Reboot PC onto Gparted CD
Select SD card and then I resized the fat32 partion already there and then added a new EXT4 partion.
This worked for me.

Dump gparted, format the card through 4ext recovery
