Question about the Wildchild Custom ROM Firmware... - HTC Wildfire S

I was thinking of installing the Wildchild ROM but wasn't sure if a few things that I use on a daily basis were working because nobody had asked about them..
Anyway,
1. Does the Camera work?
2. Does Mobile Network work?
3. How much Internal Storage is user available?
4. What's the difference between the Odex'ed version and the De-Odex'ed version?
Thanks! :highfive:

1.Yes
2. Yes
3. Depends if you have data 2sd or link2sd.
4. You can theme deodexed version. Odex has more internal memory.

Use odex if u want to use link2sd. Otherwise deodex. No doubt it has got everything working accept for HTC bloatwares. If u want pure sense u can always choose wildchild sense.
For internal storage go to the link in my sign and check the second last image.

From the horse's mouth:
1. Like a ****ing BOSS!
2. (See above.)
3. That info is provided to you in a snazzy (yet outdated) graphic in Post #1 of the original WildChild thread. Found here, for your viewing pleauremints.
4. Lots of good tutorials here on XDA will explain that in detail but the nutshell is this: ODEX == (more room in the /data partition); DEODEX == (more room in the /system partition). Since it is desirable for most sane users to have as much users space in /data (for your apps!) then it is in your best interest to try the ODEX'ed version. If, however, you wanna get funky with Link2SD (or a2sd/data2sd/etc.) and desire to theme my ROM, then you'll wanna get DeOdex'ed because it will be a pain in the ass to mod otherwise.
Take care, and don't forget to slap a THANKS my way, Billie Jean!

Flashed it, it's brilliant! Love the transitions and lock-screen especially. Could I suggest one thing though? There's an app called "ROM Toolbox Lite" that has the features of a few of the apps you included in the ROM such as "AdFree" "File Expert" "Link2SD" and "NoFrillsCPU" inside the one app. It's pretty useful and means I don't have to keep switching apps to do everything I need to do. There's nothing wrong with what's there it's just for simplicity's sake.. Still, this is the first ROM I've flashed and I love it. Thanks!
Also, I'm pretty new here. So how do I thank your last post? I can't find a button or anything?

Scratch that last bit, i found it...

sd card is not there )
i just installed this ROM, and everything works just fine... but my phone can't see my SD card at all... so, i did reinstall, and again same thing... like my SD card is not there at all, but during installation i choose .zip file from card and installation work normaly.... someone with same problem here?

Something similar happened on my tablet a while ago, it said it didn't recognise that is was there but if you go in to Settings>SD and Storage, it should show all the statistics etc.. and give the option to mount or unmount the card. If its unmounted then just mount it, problem fixed. If it is mounted (Mine was) then it's just the phone being awkward. The only difference it makes though is that you have to go into a file manager or link2sd to move anything to it. You can't move things from the built in file manager... If it's not like either of those then either the SD card is full or i'm outta ideas.. Sorry if this doesn't help...

i found mistake. all partitions of sd card must be primary.

*sigh* This is probably the best ROM out there that I can find, and I can't use it because my phone is CDMA, so everything but wifi and mobile works, and I really need those.
Please please please consider making a marvelc/cdma version of this ROM. I don't want to have to settle for an inferior ROM just because of this. Or if you know of an app I can install that will fix this issue, please let me know

Someone please guide me........please
Instead of bumping your thread have you tried looking at the thread of the chef released rom for your phone as you might realise that others have same issue with the rom or not. I did a quick search of forums and i managed to find the answers within seconds.
We cant support your rom as we dont know what you are using / version and questions regarding that rom need to be posted in the correct forum thread

Sorry M8...But i am really confused with several ROM's and Methods listed here...
I will follow your instructions in future....Sorry Again....
Different roms work differently and you really need to try one, then ask about it in the chefs rom thread and if you dont like try another. Swapping roms and trying to use the same instructions on each may not work so you are only confusing yourself.

A2SD is indeed moving apps to the external memory. A lot of custom roms have it. It requires an EXT partition on your memorycard, an easy way to do that is to get rom manager from market

Thread moved to Q&A.
judging by your post, you have already rooted your phone
here's an example how to do it with Official Froyo HTC Sense ROM v1.0c, which has built in old A2SD. I think it should work
- backup apps and system data with Titanium Backup Donate
- copy sd card content to pc in disk drive mode (by doing this, you will also copy your backups)
- download rom, radio and put them in root folder of your sd card
- you need to have some sort of recovery (whether it's update.zip in root, or permanent recovery - it's your choice)
- say a little prayer
- enter hboot -> recovery
- wipe all alvailable options (it depends on your current settings): data, cache, davlik cache, ext
- flash radio, it will ask for you to reboot from recovery, do it, it will restart few times, don't interrupt process of instalation.
- flash rom
-after you finish it, don't reboot, instead partition sd card using standard options: swap 0, ext2 512, fat32 rest, sd: ext2 to ext3 (this will format and partition your sd card, you will loose it's content
- reboot your phone, it will last longer than usual
- copy your sd card content from pc back to sd
- install titanium backup donate and restore system data and apps, it should force apps you previously had installed to sd
- reboot phone to finish restore
- install quick system info and check if your A2SD storage is partialy filled with data
-you should have your current apps and settings with A2SD enabled
Finally did it today with ROM manager huh......
Thanking all for support...

[Q] Moving EVERYTHING to SDcard or just "a part" ??

Hey Guys! Im new on this forum (even though i have made this account some time ago, i never used it )
So.. i just Rooted my HTC Desire, which i've been so afraid of. But now i had to to it regarding the lack of SD-card installing.. BUT! now i installed this neat app called something like "app2sd" which unlocks the installing to SD-card, but it just unlocks the feature like the FroYo update unlocked, just on some other apps?
So my question is.. CAN i move the WHOLE app to my SD-Card, and can i do it without flashing a custom rom or whatever? (which i am afraid of doing) because i want some of those GAMELOFT apps and the main app does still fill up some space unfortunately..
I hope you get what i'm saying (im not the best at english, but im trying )
If you didnt understand me, and want to help me, just tell me and ill try slicing it in pieces
Thanks in advance!

Well the froyo a2sd do in fact move the full app. It just leaves data and dalvik cache behind on /data. But to answer your question, yes it is possible, but the best implementations of a2sd is found in the custom roms. Those are also a natural extend, when you have rooted your phone. And btw. there is no risk involved in flashing a custom rom at all. The risky part is the root process itself.
If you want proper a2sd, you must go about it in the following steps:
1. backup all files on you sd-card to your computer
2. install rom manager
3. in rom manager choose to partition your sd-card. Just pick 512 for ext, 0 for swap and the rest for fat32
4. Move all your stuff back to the sd-card, which should now show up as being 512 mb smaller
5. Pick a custom rom and download the zip file like leedroid, if you like the stock look(or find a flashable zip containing the files for a2sd)
6. backup anything necessary and flash the zip through recovery
edit: and btw. don't excuse your english. It's not bad compared to many other people on this board

Thanks for the fast answer!
Well its not for breaking my phone im afraid of using custom ROM, my problem is that theres always some issues, and i've heard something about the RADIO or some stuff??
But if theres a custom ROM based on the FroYo which allows me to move EVERYTHING from my internal to external, which would you recommend, and wheres a good spot to find alot of those roms?
By the way, i also want them in danish language!
Well as for stability, those completely based on the stock roms(leedroid) are just as stable as the htc-ones. And if you are already on froyo, updating the radio shouldn't be necessary. And the only roms without danish language on here is the one labeled miui(some chinese custom rom) btw. im danish myself.
But the way you want to completely move /data to /sd-ext is called data2ext, and i personally wouldn't recommend it, as everything gets kind of laggy in my experience. This is due to the sd-card being much slower in read/write rates than the nand chip, so keep as much as possible internal without filling it up. I would recommend a2sd+ instead, which should give you plenty of space for apps as well
A great rom build on std. htc with a2sd+ is leedroid as already mentioned or auraxtsense, if you want a different theme.
Yea I see but let's keep it English as some people might find it useful :b
But now I ran into another problem .. which is, that I know used that app2sd unlocker and now I can't put widgets on my homescreen from the apps? Like handcent sms if you know it?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Yes that is because the froyo a2sd solution stores the apps on the fat32 partition which is not initialized before late in the bootprocess meaning the apps is not accessible when widgets are loaded. So using froyo a2sd you should keep apps with widgets on internal.
But with a2sd+ on leedroid or a similar Rom this won't be a problem as the ext partition is initialized early in the boot process. So go with one of the custom roms. That would be my recommendation
Alright then.. but is my data from my apps stored on my sdcard? Like I have "3gwatchdog", and it has stored all of my data transfers. Is that saved when I back up my sdcard and just install the program on my custom Rom?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
No, data from apps is still stored on the internal memory
The ONLY way to get it all onto the SD card is to use a custom ROM which includes Data2SD - but it's still a bit buggy and can lead to a quicker death of your SD card
So theres no way, that I can save my stats from my apps, so I can restore them on my custom Rom??

Thanks for telling me about that app! But my problem as I see it now, is that when I wanna use Titanium backup, I do need "busybox" and busybox fails when I try to install it? On the market it also says that HTC Desire is not supported?

[BUILD] XDAndroid Froyo 2.2.2 FRX06 for CWM Recovery 1.8 (ClockWorkMod)

THIS BUILD IS OUTDATED, CHECK:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1177721
I'd like to "present" my recompilation of XDAndroid FRX06 to work with Neopeek's CWM 1.8
No credit for me, but for all XDAndroid devs and Neopeek &co for this.
It doesn't have any other modifications apart from making it available to install from CWM, so everything that applies to FRX06 is useful here. You're the one to decide if you prefer looped or partitioned installs.
Don't try this if you don't know what you're doing. It's only tested by me, so what I'm looking for are TESTERS. PLEASE READ EVERYTHING CAREFULLY BEFORE DOING ANYTHING.
Normally it would be easy to return to previous state by repartitioning/formatting SD, but who knows. I take no responsability for any damage to your device.
The instructions for installing CWM are in Neopeek's forum. Only points:
1.- My partition schema, for 8Gb SDCard, is:
1st partition: FAT32 (sdcard / Rest)
2nd partition: EXT2 (system / 150MB) Contains /system - the base ROM
3rd partition: EXT2 (data / about 400 MB) Used as device's internal memory. You can use more if you install a lot of non-movable apps, but between 4 and 500 should do.
4th partition: EXT2 (cache / about 100MB) Dalvik's cache. 100 should be enough
I used Minitool Partition Wizard for the partitioning.
2.- Startup.txt, ts-calibration, kernel and modules must be in the same dir as haret.exe, in this case inside "npkboot" dir.
3.-To move in the CWM menu with our Blackys:
Peteflyman said:
I just toggle between "Reboot system now", push "Vol Up" to get directly to "Power off", and then toggle "Vol Down" to get back to "Reboot system now". I just do that a couple of times then "Back menu button enabled" usually shows up. That's it. Hope it works for you guys as well!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After the "back menu button enabled" you can use power off button to confirm menu selection. Just select "install zip from sdcard", "choose zip from sdcard" and choose my zip (ofc, don't uncompress it).
4.- You don't need to install Gapps, they're included in the build.
5.- After installed, "reboot system now" and start haret again. Let it work for a while without touching anything until you see PIN or unlock screen to begin using Android.
6.- I'd recommend rebooting a second time before starting to configure everything...
It should work in any device where CWM and XDAndroid work, but the configurations I attach here are for TOUCH HD (Blackstone). If you want to try with other devices, be careful to use the appropiate config files (they shouldn't be difficult to find in your device's forum).
I'm using 1337 kernel & modules from Glemsom's autobuild and it works perfectly with my device, feel free to use the one that suits you better.
Download link:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SUBUG5I8
If you have any problem, I'll try to help, but for CWM problems please ask in their forum as you'll find better assistance.
Huh. I guess I'll give it a shot - I cooked a build with CWM & FRX06, was force close city. Tried to fix it, but not hard... Just chalked it up to CWM being crappy since I was able to run FRX06 on dedicated partitions no problem .
if you want to install any other build,or reinstall frx06,go to recovery,choose mounts and storage,then format data,format cache,format system (don't format sdcard for obvious reasons) and then mount data,cache,system,go back and install zip from sd card,choose your zip.
also if you find a build without gapps,go to cyanogenmod.com and grab it there,you should pich gapps for cyanogenmod 6 because that's the froyo build....MDPI or HDPI doesn't matter in our case
many problems are result of gapps missing (some builds come without them,this one doesn't) such as call rejecting or showing black screen instead of lockscreen when you wake the device,so be sure to install them

Then the only difference you'll notice is that you have CWM recovery Anyway, it works pretty well for me, and since I can now write updater-scripts I'll be able to change things very easily
Edit: Now I only have to learn to compare directories to be able to give incremental updates when FRX07 and so on come out!

i suggest you to take a working build and start swapping things and trying,it's not that hard,you can go @ neopeek and ask there,there are several tutorials i believe
just be sure to use a froyo build for your froyo build

you can at least start with
/system
/app (add or remove apps)
/fonts (obvious)
/framework (the "look" of the build is defined here,so if you want your froyo to look like ginger,take some of the ginger files and swap with those in this one)
/media (it'll tell you what to do by itself)
other folders are build regarded and some playing and asking pros is advised here

It's a vanilla Froyo, identical to FRX06, so I didn't think they were needed. Just look at any basic original Froyo install.

If it has no C2, C4 etc then it's a "classless" card. I have several, seems any card below 2gig that was sold before a certain time are classless.

Well, I can't tell because I'm in android now and can't extract it XD Never had the curiosity to check.

Working on FRX07 update.zip to test if it works with CWM
Hi Eodun,
Looking forward to the FRX07 CWM!
Do you think that it is required that Neopeak updates the roofts to the latests version?
regarding your FRX06 CWM, I have a quick question. It is possible to use my old data.img from the normal FRX06?
I guess that it may be possible to copy it on the data EXT2 partition but I can't access via windows XP.
Also tried restoring using CWM (I did a backup and replaced the data.img), but I get a checksum error. Any way to change the checksum to be able to do it?
Thanks in advance

I don't think so. But if you backup everything with titanium backup and then restore apps, appdata and system settings (only those that appear in green) you'll have everything as before.

Confirm it updates correctly, but there are some problems with the old Kernel/rootfs.
I can't get wifi to work and I can't turn the device off.
The 20110716 Kernel is not working for Blackstone Topaz.
We need to wait...

@arrrghhh: Yeah, I know the update is available, but ypsmav noticed the problem: I need the new rootfs for CWM, and I'm not able to adapt it. As I said, work is being done for that.
Thanks for your replies
Ps It will be a big problem if latest kernel doesn't boot. I haven't been able to boot with it. Edit: But still have to check if it boots with a clean data.

[Q] Link2SD

I tried to figure this out by skimming the Link2SD topic, but seeing that there were 202 pages intimidated me. I have a few simple quick questions.
1. Does Link2SD work with Android 2.3.3 or is it only for older versions of Android?
2. If I have previously moved things to SD using the native Apps2SD support, do I have to uninstall them before I use Link2SD?
3. If the answer to the above is No, is there a performance hit in not doing so?
4. Does Link2SD require an unlocked bootloader?
5. Does it work on the rooted Verizon Xperia Play running the stock ROM?
I think that's it. I'm going to probably go ahead and experiment with the program anyway, but if someone can shortcut the process by answering these questions, that would be a big help!
Thanks!

I tried to figure this out by skimming the Link2SD topic, but seeing that there were 202 pages intimidated me. I have a few simple quick questions.
1. Does Link2SD work with Android 2.3.3 or is it only for older versions of Android?
2. If I have previously moved things to SD using the native Apps2SD support, do I have to uninstall them before I use Link2SD?
3. If the answer to the above is No, is there a performance hit in not doing so?

EDIT:
1. YES - works on 2.3.3
2. NO I didn't have to uninstall them, just link them.
3. No but some programs may need to be uninstalled and reinstalled before they work. And some apparently don't like being linked.
4. Apparently not.
5. Yes, it appears to.

I want to set up a partition on my SD card so I'll have to format the card first, so all most of my apps will be half deleted because I have used app2sd on them. If I copy the current contents of my SD to my PC and then copy it back after I've created the partition, will everything be ok ?.

I resized mine instead of formatting. This is the guide I used

[Q] - Low on space, but 880 mb free..??!

Hey everybody,
Have a strange problem. My phone keeps saying I'm low on space, despite the fact that I have a 1,5 gb sd-ext, and still ~880 mb free.
The sd is formatted with 4ext, and the partition is ext4. The SD card is class 10.
See the attached file for a visual of what I'm talking about.
Hope that someone can help
Cheers,
- H
EDIT:
Aaaaannd, now it's stuck on boot...
I had simmilar problems with various APP 2 SD scripts, including INT2EXT (+)
I had problems downloading form Play Store, because it told me that I don't have enough space, nor I could install from SD Card.
My suggestion is:
1.Wipe everything except SD Card and flash the rom again, you can't boot in it anyway, can you?
2. Find a rom to install, and flash it.
3. Search for better app2sd scripts, ( If using gingerbread you could use Link2SD - Used it alot in gingerbread, it doesn't work well in ICS & up )
My questions:
What rom are you using?
What APP2SD script are you using?

Silly me, noticed your signature.
If you are stuck in a bootloop, and don't know what to do, do following:
1. Turn off your phone.
2. Boot in recovery
3. Connect your phone to pc with USB
4. If you're using 4ext then it will be toggle usb storage, if clockworkmod ( classic ) then it will be under mounts
5. Copy a downloaded rom to your sd card.
6. Flash it!
Hey bro,
Thanks for the response..
No, it boots just fine.. it's just weird.. but I think I get it now.. It has something to do what the script actually moves to sd-ext, what HBOOT u use, i.e. how much space is allocated for system, data, etc.. ..
You see, before I got a Desire, I had a Samsung Galaxy Gio, running a custom CM 7 ROM, with Darktremor a2sd script. That worked PERFECTLY for me, coz I had set it up to move more or less everything to sd-ext. And although I had almost 1GB of apps, I didn't notice any lag or performance loss.
But now, I'm new to Desire, and I don't know a lot of these "new" a2sd scripts and how to configure them properly.. So it's gonna take a little time experimenting what works, and so on.
The first custom ROM for Desire I installed was a MildWild GB ROM - great ROM. Fast, stabile, just awesome..
But then I started experimenting with various ICS and JB ROMS, and then the problems began to show.. but basicly I think, and I sure dont wont to offend anybody, that the devs should make their ROMS without a a2sd script of their choosing, or at least give us an option to install it or not. Then we're (more) free to install whatever a2sd script we wish, without having to go through /init.d and removing existing script, and what not..
But yeah, it's all good.. Just got play around with it some more
Thanks anyway tho,

Try re-flashing the CM7 and try using INT2EXT+, sometimes APP2SD scripts doesn't work as they should, If you don't want to use scripts, you could use Link2SD - good choice aswell.
My setup:
Previously:
Stock Alpha Rev HBOOT
1.5 GB SD-EXT
4ext
cm7.2
Int2ext+
Now:
Everything the same except app2sd script and rom.
Evervolv Kitkat w/ built in App2SD

Yeah, tell me about it.. altough, I've never had problems with the "old", original DarkTremmor a2sd script.. it's this "new" modified a2sd xdata thing that bugs me.. And I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to remove it completly, and replace it with the original DT a2sd script.. (it's built-in VJ's JB ROM, which I'm currently playing with.. )
But thanks anyway man,

If there's app2sd in rom, but you need to activate it with terminal, then you might consider not to. Just give other APP2SD / Mount 2 SD scripts a try.
Link for INT2EXT:
CronMod Scripts ( INT2EXT )
I suggest you taking Int2Ext+
INT2EXT+
-Mounts /sd-ext to /data
-Leaves /data/data on internal for speed
-Works with EXT 2/3/4 filesystems
-ZipAligns /data/app on every boot
-No symlinks

Never really had problems with space running out on internal w/ it.
As ICS / JB roms go, I find them slow, and unresponsive, but kitkat is opposite

Wow, thanks a lot! These CronMod scripts look great. Gonna try it out tomorrow.
But this is just weird.. I tried pretty much everything; not activating it in terminal, then try to remove it; stuck on boot, tried replacing the script manually using root explorer --> stuck. Tried replacing the script in the ROM package (zip file) before flashing it --> stuck.. I'd just LOVE to see the decompiled framework, to see how the f**k it's embeded in this ROM, to make it so impossible to get rid of...?!?
Cheers,

If you want the same rom:
Open .zip package of the on pc.
Then Go in system/etc/init.d
delete something like: mountext and app2sd ( should look simmilar )
Then archive it (System, BOOT.img, META-INF ) Swith archiver program - Winrar perhaps? ( Using .ZIP ) extension.
Then put it in your sd card.
Then Wipe everything ( except sdcard )
Flash the rom.
Flash the Int2Ext script,
Wipe sd-ext again.
Boot.
If this doesn't work for you, you're doomed!
j/k. Just try another rom.
Highly suggest trying latest nightly for Evervolv Kitkat. (Evervolv / Bravo page.)
Since it's nightly you'll gonna find bugs, but from my experience it's better than all the ICS / JB roms. Might argue about GB roms.
If you decide to get KitKat, you can enable App2SD in it's terminal (not in the rom - fetch it at google play)l:
su
a2sd install
y
n
