Hi there,
I am currently on CM7.1 and wanted to upgrade to 7.2. The CM forum said one can just flash 7.2 over 7.1 without wiping anything but for me that didn't work. After update I am missing everything which I had on my ext3 partition. I use S2E. My layout, background etc is all there just no apps/widgets. It seems like 7.2 does not recognize my ext3 partition.
Any idea how to solve this problem? Do I need to set up S2E after flashing again so that 7.2 "finds" everything on the ext3?

Flash the S2E script you used with Cm7.1 and it should all be back.
Hey thanks for the amazingly quick answer!
So just to clarify the steps:
1. Nandroid backup
2. Flash 7.2 without wiping anything.
3. Reboot system into 7.2 - all apps are gone, even gapps.
4. Install S2E apk
5. Set up S2E
6. Reboot
7. It should all be back?
By "flash the S2E script" you mean install the apk via a file manager, right? Not anything via recovery?
Sorry for all the questions, I am fairly new to all this

Hey, I've read much about a2sd+...
some say it's only possible if included into the ROM, others say it can be included manually into a ROM. All of that mainly for FroYo but i found some post that it works on gingerbread too.
is there any guide for it? - can someone explain it to me? couldn't find anything.
Oxygen comes with a2sd, since version RC2/RC3(check change log) the dalvik cache is no longer moved to the sd(read ext) but to cache if big enough.
If you really need the space you can replace the new a2sd script yourself from /system/etc/init.d/ with old one. If you do this also removed the dalvik script from the new rom. Should work but not 100% sure, don't forget to nandroid.

don't mind what dalvik means... but I am using the ClockworkMod Recovery and was following the guide ( http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=158809660835039 ) but there is no partition SD-card or similiar.. only format, and that doesn't help anything
Just make a ext partition (SEARCH) and flash oxygen, don't worry about my previous post.

it seems i am not able to partition my SD because my recovery (clockworkmod) isn't able to do so.
but flashing a new recovery doesn't work. can i reflash a new recovery with unrevoked 3? but it also trys to root it a second time, don't know if this is healthy?!
or does someone has unrevoked2 (which only reflashs recovery afaik) ?
Just use gparted or rom manager to partition. Don't ask how, there are plenty of tutorials.

Hello all,
I am running stock rom rooted, version .5.
Due to some FCs happening I want to reinstall the stock rom.
How should I do it?
I don't really remember..
My phone was unbranded when I bought it.
Just running the RUU of the latest stock rom will do the work?
Or do I have to unroot it firstly?
Also, I have created a partition (ext3 - 512MB) at my sd (8GB - Class 6)..and I would like to be able to install apps there...I think it's called A2SD..
How can I do that?
I am taking a backup with TB and will backup contacts and anything else I need.
Should I take a nandroid backup too?
Additionally, in order to decide which rom would be better for me, is there any way to try custom roms, such as running a virtual android device at my pc?
Thank you for your time!
To use the A2SD+, you need to be rooted.
So you can either run a RUU (unroots your phone - then root it again) or search the Android developement for stock rooted ROMs with A2SD+.
If you choose the 2nd one, just boot into recovery wipe everything and then flash the ROM and then restore everything with Titanium.
Here's a stock rooted one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773997
Nandroid is always good, does not hurts when you have a backup
Thank you for your reply!
To start with, I haven't flashed through recovery any rom yet and haven't wiped data, and thus I am really inexperienced with these.
So I could download this ->"2.29.405.2/5 INIT.D ROM v3.0 | v3.1 - NEW!"? (The version .5) with init.d so that I can install the script of A2SD+ ("A2SD+ (1.4) - v3 compatible", right?
Do I have to flash a radio too?
I think I've read here somewhere that if the radio you're having is working properly then stick with it..If I wipe everything will I still have to install a radio?
So if I download this version what are the steps that I should follow?
1)Backup everything I need with TB and nandroid.
2)Copy the file into the root of sd.
3)Boot into recovery.
4)Wipe everything->wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition?
5)And then which option is to flash the rom? The "install zip from sdcard"?
After this procedure what else do I have to keep in mind?
What about this "Additionally, in order to decide which rom would be better for me, is there any way to try custom roms, such as running a virtual android device at my pc?" ?
Yes, that's the ROM, and you will be able to use A2SD+ with the init.d ROM.
Radio is not needed. Even if you wipe everything, it remains, because it is on a different partition. So wiping everything is safe, radio remains.
The steps are good, but before flashing ("install zip from SD Card") make sure you toggle verification off (it's in the same menu) - just in case.
Altough I strongly recommend to run through those custom ROMs, you'll not regret it (If you choose a stable one from a well known dev).
Yeah, the virtual android emulator. Wanted to write about it, but forgot it after searching for the ROM I Know it is possible, never tried it.
Here are some links, tough:

I have flashed the one with the init.d..but into Settings > data I can only see as internal memory 120+MB...
TB though shows the free data on the sd extern..
How can I be sure what is correct? :S
Also I tried leedroid and cyanogen mod for a little..but leedroid was partially tranlsated to greek and cyanogen mod does not have sense which I seem to have got used to it..
Also, about the emulation..I was stuck at a part where I have to create a system.img file of the rom...:S
1. try to do the three wipes.. wipe factory settings, wipe cache, wipe dalvik and then reboot. perhaps you won't have fc's after that.
2. if you run a stock ruu again - you will lose root and s-on will return. this is the way to unroot essentially. check unlockr for details on that. you can use a universal ruu from htc to do that if you have to. but if you try 1. first, then you won't have to do this. i would suggest NOT unrooting just for a few fc's.
you will solve the problem by installing a different rom. now onto that issue about app2sd...
if you want app2sd.. i would suggest looking into data2sd. i'm on rcmix-hd or rcmix-s-w.1.1 and it's very nice. if you want to use data2sd you can also add this feature. pm me about that. one proviso, your sd-card must be a class-6 or higher to really enjoy data2sd ... i have a class-4 and the speed is not bad. but as the card becomes fragmented, i am sure the speed will suffer.
good luck enjoy your desire.
I have done the 2 wipes except the dalvik cache before installing the rom.
I haven't used a stock RUU.
I have downloaded the v3 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773997 with init.d support.
I will stick with app2sd because I read that the sd wears off with all that writing :S
About the roms:
Yesterday I checked Leedroid but the thing that I didn't like was the partial localization..
I am using greek language.
Is there any way to solve that?
Also which other roms are more stable and worth the try?
Additionally, at the thread of the ROM I installed it says "Note that framework-res is already deodexed in this ROM".
This means that I can flash any notification bar icon I want and also the super cicle battery mod?
Thank you for your replies!
Anyone please? :S

With a deodexed rom you can apply global themes, fonts and mods.
With an odexed rom this is not possible, unless the mod is appropriately altered.
after installed the hboot i cant install run the apps2sd cachesd command.
usually i have no problem with running this, i dont reallly know why this isnt working, has anyone else had this?
-cm7 nightly build
-cm7 hboot table
desire
do i need to flash the alpharev table back as default?
the reason for primarily installing the cm7 hboot table was for more application space, but since i have lost apps2sd i dont have as much space for apps.
anyone else have any ideas?
- i can only think to restore the default hboot table or
-flash the standard RUU and then root and get back to square 1.
thanks
Did you flash the a2sd script? Or get the app?
Sent from RCMixS
i was using cyanogen nightly build, but i have fixed this now.
i installed rcmixHD's new rom, and the app2sd gui is there, it just seems to be working, i do know i am on EXT3 on my sdext, and its all good. got loads of space and loving the sense 3.0 rom with that cm7 hboot table!
All,
First of all I want to say that I am a newbie but I am a long time lurker. I have read all about Data 2 sd and A2sd and all the rest of it.
I have an sd card with a FAT32 format and EXT4 format.
I have tried my best to follow the supernova tutorial ( http://supernova.droidzone.in/?cat=6 ) and it is really pissing me off at this stage as it does not work for me.
I have flashed with leedroid rom, the internal memory got better but data2sd did not work and now the rom is crashing. It has to go.
I just want to get this right as I have tried for months and it is coming to the stage where the phone has to go.
I have S-on and I will not be turning it off, fully rooted etc.
I can run cyanogenmod7 but I have a sense rom and so this is my quiff!
Please please please, can someone help me. I have installed lots of files and I want to start fresh. All I want is to install apps...that is all!!!!
Thank,
Alan
Folks,
Just another piece of info. Does busybox make a difference?

So to use this you should download nad flash/install via recovery the CyanogenMod 7.1 rom and Gapps package (to have Market installed because it's not included in rom). After that you need to read this thread and have fun with unlimited internal storage.
edit: links from thread about int2sd aren't working so I'll give you mine from dropbox (just wait about 15 mins when I'm uploadnig them).
When you have CM7 and gapps installed you need to flash first INT2SD2-update.zip it will prepare cm7 for getting int2sd and then you should flash CM7-stable-INT2SD2.zip

Thanks a million! It works on Cyanogen med 7 for me and everything runs stable on this rom. This is my 2nd place rom if all else fails!
However, I want a sense rom with data2sd/2ext ....basically lots of internal memory.
I have done a full wipe
Installed leedroid 3.3
started the rom, let it load.....memort 22mb
went into recovery
flashed data2sd
tried to restart but it wont, it is stuck on the htc logo and I had to restore it.
The Leedroid rom works perfectly on its on as does the supernova rom but when i try and install data2sd it does not work or the phone will not boot up.
If anyone has any ideas please let me know

there's an FAQ for that Leedroid rom which i found very useful.
to maximise space you can use data++ version, cm7r2 hboot, and dalvik to sd, all explained on that link
it's not data2sd, and it won't seem like you're internal memory has gone up, but it's plenty of space for apps trust me. i had something close to ~140 apps with 130MB still free on internal before i switched ROMs. that free space would only get used up slowly by app data
if you do it this method, keep apps on 'internal', no need to 'move to SD', it'll keep them to the partition this way.
Hi.
Sorry, my english isn't very good, beacuse I'm Hungarian.
So I want to update my Gio to CM7.2 (CyanogenMod 7.2-GIO-KANG).
I write how I did it step by step:
1, I installed CWM v5.0.2.7 ext4+rfs, and reboot.
2, I made a full backup in CWM.
3, I installed CM7.2 in recovery and I did a wipe/factory reset, then I installed gapps.
4, Reboot the phone.
5, The rom works perfectly, but I can't find anywhere the market, gmail, maps.
6, I tried to add my google account, but it said "Setup could not finish. Unable to open connection to server" The wifi is turned on, so I don't understand why did it my phone.
Please help me. I trying this for two days.
Thank you in advance.
Do you have internal ext4 partition? If no then you need to flash ext4-formatter. And then you must use ext4 only cwm.
Not sure if this helps.

flash ext4-formatter before flashing CM. If you used previously CM 7.1, then you already have ext4. Read the CWM and CM7.2 instructions carefully.

I used CM7.1 before I try the 7.2, but I don't flash ext4-formatter. CM7.1 do it itself?
It solved. I mount my data and system and voilá I have market
I'm so happy.
