Do you have to ext your SD card in order to put apps on to it? I don't really want to partition my SD card tho!!
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app
most custom roms require an ext partition to work, read the first post requirements for each rom, I'm assuming you're already rooted?
i don't know why you don't want to partition your sd card though...it's not very difficult. use gparted or 4ext recovery only (NOT minitool partition wizard, rom manager or clockworkmod recovery). search for guides.
you may need to flash a different script to move apps to sd-ext, but again this depends on the rom as many have it built in.
No I would if I had a bigger SD card coz I only have a 2gb one and my parents refuse to buy me a 32gb one so yea......

oh didn't realise the situation. how about 4, 8 or 16gb as compromise? i'm holding off a 32gb myself until they become much cheaper.
or try dgb rom as i think it's designed on purpose without an ext partition. you would need to be s-off with custom hboot to make the most of it.
Yes maybe and I am already running a ROM which is alright for the moment but I really want runny ROM but obviously that needs an ext. I am running hiapk sensefun ROM by djroobs which I am happy with at the moment. I will probably wait until they become cheaper as well

Yh ul need a bigger sdcard for runny rom, it needs 1gb ext 4 partition on ur sdcard and the rom itself from what i remember is 500mb (its huge)
Like eddie says, Even if u try get ur parents to buy ya a 4gb sdcard, they cheap enough and 4gb is plenty if u ask me

Thanks guys I will give it a crack or just try and buy it myself. Thing is tho atleast 500 mb of my SD is music and that's not all of the music I want LOL

Yep, I ran Oxygen for a long time with a small 2 gb card and it worked just fine. To be fair 4, 8 are now dead cheap and it will allow you to run the heavier roms that need 1gb ext.

Hi,
I want to know if it is possible to have App2SD/Data2SD on a standard Stock ROM with Sense, if not...Could someone tell me what is the closets most stable Stock ROM available.
I have come across Starburst and Cool DesireS (which is not stable with major bugs) and more that I forgot the names of.
Thank you!
Find Teppics one, its basically stock and you add what you want to it. Rock solid by all accounts

Thanks for you reply Eddy. I would like to ask if you could help me one more time and tell me the steps to flash this rom.
Rom:
2.29.405.5 ROM
Updates:
A2SD+
What I have now:
Code:
Android 2.2
Baseband: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Kernal: 2.6.32.15
Build: 2.29.405.2
And is it really necessary to install the Radio supplied? After this I should be able to restore apps using Titanium.
Many Thanks

I couldn't agree more, seeing more than 15MB with the Low Storage notification far fetched for my phone would just make my day.
I have standard 4GB card that comes with the desire, and if I decide to go with StarBurst, I'm not sure what 'ext' to pick.
Please someone help me flash 'Teppics ROM' and guide me on what ext for my card I should use, I need to do this quickly. Thanks!
For data2SD ext4 is recommend. Download gparted and use that to do partition. Your 4gb card will be fine am sure its a class 4 just do a ext 1gb partition, am guessing you already rooted your phone if so once you have done the partitioning download the ROM and put it onto the root of your SD card and then boot into recovery.

Your better of downloading Gparted and burn to disk, then boot from it.
download it from here
http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
Here video showing how to use it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9d7qhBpCJQc
Because Android is linux its ment to be better to use a linux partitioning software like Gparted, so I have read I had no problems using this. Where on my first time doing this I used a windows app and had lots of problems.

You can find really good custom roms here:

Is there any desire roms out there that doesnt require a ext partition these days?
I just want a custom rom without the need to always use that one sd card to boot and im not really much of an app user anyway.
a lot of the apps2sd roms will go on without an ext partition - but you'll just have limited space, usually about 73-130mb of the internal storage...
Looking in the android development thread it seems that most of them listed ext partiton as a requirement due to parts of system files are also in the ext partition required to boot.
Check with the dev of the roms for apps2sd ones that you might like... I am sure I saw an 'apps2sd killer' script too once so you might be able to apply that
the 2.1 ROMS usually goes well whitout the app2sd but its highly recommended
try CM7

Just delete the ext partition and the rom such as miui for example will detect that there is no extra partion an so will disable the a2sd scrript

If you do go down the road of partitioning as you put it
Save yourself some future hassle and purchase a class 10 memory card and read about changing your recovery program to 4Ext Recovery 2.1.0.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957291
And for future purposes, where does it say?
Thanks :S
do not use gparted. its unnecessarily complicated. I recommend you to flash clockworkmod, or better RMD recovery (you can easily adjust the partition sizes in future) and use that. Give it 1GB EXT, 0MB Swap, the rest Fat32. If you have a smaller sdcard, 512MB EXT (thats the bare minimum for future rom usage), 0MB Swap, rest Fat32. Thats it.
Okay, I'm going to use ROM manager as it is the easiest! I'll set the ext to 512 and no partition.
Also, Do I need to wipe my SD card to do this?
And would that be fine to download MIUI XJ?
Thanks a lot for all your help, I really appreciate it
Everything will be wiped on ur sd card, so backup! For MIUI it will be enough. In the future learn how to use ADB shell - thats the real deal.
Good luck

I just wanted to say that for future partition changes and so, it is quicker and easier to use the recovery
I agree gparted is very easy to use. Look in the dev area for a step by step on how to use it. Using VM Player you don't even need to boot onto it.

hi everyone, a friend of mine has a desire (stock rom) and always the problem that the internal capacity is full. now we are looming for a stable rom which basicly has sd card limit for apps and is not restricted to the intetnal one.
ive read quite a lot here and lokked at some roms and have some favorites, but i would like to get some input from actual desire users what rom they use and how the situation is with the app storage space.
so what rom do you use?

you're going to get confusing answers from this question in my opinion, though you could try here. if you want stability at the moment stick with GB roms.

virtually all of them will have raised the limit on app storage using various scripts, which is one of the main reasons of custom roms on desire in the first place
each rom will have their own requirements, but generally need an sd-ext partition (use 4ext recovery or gparted) and/or a hboot partition table.
i've always found this guide useful in understanding root/memory stuff.

Supernova,by Droidzone, just do a 2gig ext4 partition and you will have 2gig of internal memory.
This Rom is base on stock 2.3 and is tweak for the better. Super smooth and your low memory days are over. Don' t take my word try it yourself
my HTC Desire runs actually BCM cyanogenmod9 with a data++ hboot
Anyway, you could get free space without changing rom and avoid using sd card ext (which might introduce some lags), by flashing the bravo Sense hboot (saving 70MB and keeping HTC Desire's stock rom).
That's my point, but it depends on your friend's rom preferences
thanks all for the feedback, actually i looked yesterday at some roms and supernova was one of the roms i considered since its aosp based, the other would be mildwild which is cm7 based, i guess i will just add my friend what suits her better and then go with that.
any bugs or other issues i should be aware with theae roms?
oh and i think the device has 5.11....radio i think. will that cause problems?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I just converted to mildwild 4.1.9 and can vouch for it being very impressive. I have setcpu app on it and now have 75% battery at the end of the day. I have a 16GB SD card and loads of storage so far, but I must say I am more disciplined with what I install now, as I used to gum it up with anything and everything! Mine is a desire GSM btw.

Oxygen rom is worth a look. AOSP rom that is closest to stock Gingerbread that you'll gonna get for desire. Just use the custom hboot for it found in http://alpharev.nl. (s-off required) and EXT partition on the sd card and it should give you one of the most stable rom with decent space for your apps.
check http://oxygen.im to get the rom.
iv been using mildwild oxygen the past week and got no complaints, i used runnymede aio as my "stock" rom and always went back to it lol but i honestly cant see myself going back this time

thnaks a lot for the feedback,
we tried mildwild oxygene but after one day and 5 self reboots its clear this is not stable at all.
now i have an other question, i flashed cm 7.2 with full wipe but the device always booted/rebooted into recovery... what can be the cause of that? mithg we have some partitioning problem here?
or something else thats wrong?
i partitioned the sd card with the cwm (1gb ext, 32mb swap) that gets installed with rom manager (5.0.2 or so i think).
if this is the problem, would be awesome to get a link to what we need to make cm 7.2 work. thanks.

well maybe if u wasnt so cheeky i would of. cwm is known to make bad partitions so maybe try 4ext recovery or gparted to partition. i use 1gb ext4 and rest fat32 (no swap) with mildwild oxygen and iv had no problems so maybe try 4ext recovery
Sent from my HTC Desire
thanks for the information, i will check the partitions today with gparted and probably reformat. i created a 32m swap partition and i dont know if cwm created a ext3 or ext4 partition so that might be the problem...
i did not intend to be "cheeky" (and not sure if i understand it correctly, sometimes im getting a bit upset when people post something like: " it works for me." and do not think about adding some info what could be different:O
if ur gona use mildwild oxygen i dont think u will need a swap size when u partition sdcard, just do a 1gb ext4 or 1.5gb max and the rest fat32

hey guys I want to sell my Desire and buy a Galaxy Nexus, and I don't want to give my 8GB SDcard on phone, is there any good and stable ROM which doesn't require a partitioned SDcard (ext partitions) or should I partition some 2GB SDcard and give it on phone?!
Thanks in Advance!
Put it to stock. Or give the SD away, you won't need it for the Nexus.
Gesendet von meinem LG-P880 mit Tapatalk 2
dGB is a good choice that doesnt need ext partition, but you need custom hboot to make the most of it (requires s-off)
or you could buy a small cheap micro sd card, and use other roms which require ext partition. make sure you use only gparted or 4ext recovery to make the partition (not minitool, rom manager or clockworkmod recovery)
CM doesn't need a partioned SD-card as far as I remember. The internal ROM is just very small.
Put it on stock if you intend to sell.
