Hi there,
I've been using Froyo 2.2 for some time but had some SD Card issues (Unexpected SD Card removal) and decided to check if flashing a new ROM will do any good. I've installed Cyanogen Mod 7 but after using it for half a day I wanted stock Sense back so flashed AuraxTSense v8.3. It looks nice, works quite fast at the beginning (and not knowing why it becomes slower after some time - observed during mass sms deletion) but boots ~7 mins - that's way tooooo long. Which one should I try next? Or maybe there is something wrong I've done while flashing? Wiped everything but dalvik before flashing.
LeeDroid's i believe is the best sense rom.

Boots 7 MINS?
For the first time or always?
Because if you install anew ROM, it will take some time to rebulid the cache and get ready, so 7 mins at the first boot is normal.
But if it boots 7 mins always, you've done something wrong.
Also LeeDroid is fast. Boots up very quickly - at least for me it did.
Indeed it boots slower than Leedroid, but not 7 minutes. Both are good ROMs, but the current (and some of the previous) version of ROM has some memory leaks reported from some users including me. I switched to Aura in hope to find remedy for this, and been good so far.
Also both have issues with the Internet app, googling freezes the browser and it force closes itself after a minute.

yeah, it was first boot, other took something like 3-4 minutes, and that's still too long :/
what if my Desire is S-On even if I have rooted it with Unrevoked? also, Hboot is 0.93. does it make any difference when trying to flash different roms?
EDIT:
ok, trying to flash LeeDroid 2.3d A2SD, will see how long will it take.
EDIT2:
16 mins of first boot, keep fingers crossed for my problems with unexpected SD removal
I've flashed LeeDroid 2.3d A2SD for the second time and there's no A2SD actually!! or I'am so tired that I can't find settings to force apps to install in SD. all apps install in internal storage and only some can be moved to SD... sooooooo annoying, it's 3:50 am here and I am so fuc*ing tired but have to have phone fully working today :/ aaaaargh!!!!
ReflexTSense HD is pretty nice and fast
got it on SD too so I'll probably try it now as AuraxTSense had A2SD brilliantly working.
How do you inspect if a2sd is working? Coz I think u r doing it wrong. Install Quick system info and check what it says under a2sd storage and if it slowly decreases when you install apps, which means it is working. You don't have to set default install location anywhere, the script does that for you.
What you are referring to here, is Froyo's built-in a2sd which requires the app to be optimized for app2sd, that's why only some of your apps seem to be on the SD card. Furthermore, it will transfer the apps to FAT32 partition, that you don't want for it to do since Android first loads apps which need to be loaded at startup, and afterwards it mounts the SD card, which will lead to some apps failing to start after boot.
a2sd tricks the phone into thinking that ext partition is it's internal memory. Froyo app2sd != a2sd script, don't confuse those two, they are not the same.

Apps2sd is working perfect in leedroid. Your reading is what fails.

with regard to first boot im always pleasantly surprised with AOSP roms esp Oxygen and Gingervillain ...they boot very fast and have gprs configured and working from the very beginning !
GV booted really fast for me.
stability is another issue
oops sorry - i read the title of the thread properly now....you meant sense roms....please ignore
leedroid roms do not take too long to boot. ap2sd feature work 100 percent..i guess the no ap2sd rom would boot up faster than the one with.
starburst is the best so far av got 700mb internal memory and rom is super fast
ok guys, it was my mistake (or rather lack of knowledge), so I'm coming back to LeeDroid. but will try No-A2SD first because I think those SD Card issues are not gone so moving Dalvik to SD would be risky.
For the past 5 months I have been using cm7 with no problems. But in the last month or so problems have been slowly coming up. It started with phone freezes then it slowed down greatly, then I got fc on EVERY APP! So then I switched to synergy hoping to fix the problems but there still there. I need help quick because I can't even make calls with out it freezing.

have you wiped everything (data, cache, dalvik) in recovery BEFORE flashing?
I just went through the same thing with the stock rom (rooted without the verizon crapware).. Had it since Day 1 of availability.. then a few days ago.. force closing all the time..
Even when switching roms. Even when NOT restoring with titanium.. Did everything fresh (ugh.. you have no idea how many hours).... and photos were disappearing from it
My first thoughts were "frak... I really screwed up something" (my niece dropped in on the floor a few days earlier.)
Then the IT in me decided to fall back on my experience. K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid).....
If even changing roms didn't fix it.. what did everything have in common? The SD Card.
So I formatted the card making sure to take everything off I needed. Put it back in.. and put a fresh rom on.
No problems since. I'm guessing the file system of the SD card went a little wonky after a year of putting files on.. taking off.. putting on.. etc
Yep I cleared everything, data, cache
D cache and batt stats. Im going to try the SD card thing right now

Just gonna throw this out there. Try also formatting /system in the "mounts and storage" menu.
So far so good. The SD trick worked. But I want to put my titanium backup folder back on my SD card to get my apps back but I am not sure if that was the problem.
Also about the format /system l, I was thinking about that too. But if I can't get things working in the end I will format the system, data and cache.

Glad it worked.. after 3 very frustrating days for me and trying multiple roms and losing a few pics... glad I was able to at least past the info on to someone else
I am having this problem now with apps that are not installed on my SD card (which I just upgraded to larger size). All the Google apps are fc and some other ones here and there.
Were the fc apps all installed on SD?
I was thinking about a fresh gapps flash but may try the SD card first.

Glad I found this thread! I've been having same problem and couldn't figure out if it was a rogue app or not. It seemed like right after I flashed a new rom it would run great but after a few days I would start having trouble and eventually I'd have to flash another new one or try same one again.
I have a question though....I know most things on sd card are ok to delete since any app will put new folder on there if it needs to (obviously keeps pics, titanium backups, rom backups etc.)
But I don't have a way of formatting the sdcard OUTside of the phone. I don't have a card reader on my computer. Would it be ok to do this while the phone is plugged in? (something tells me no but...)
My only other option would be to put the sdcard in my old HTC ozone and try it that way...
You can just plug your phone into your PC, mount your SD card and reformat it that way. It works for me.

This ^^
OR
Random thought
You can try to repair the SD card before you format( if the repair doesn't work). Mount SD card to the computer via usb. Right click, properties, tools tab. Run error check. Just like a computer files get corrupted.

Hi
I set my desire up with the supernova rom but had to ditch it after a couple of days due to very frequent random freezes. (data2sd)
Now I've got Leedroid 3.0.8.2 and that's giving me random freezes though to a much lesser extent.(a2sd+)
The Rom before I used Oxygen with no A2SD and this gave me no crashes but I desperately need the space due to my works email taking up all my storage!
So basically I wonder what I should do next. Is there anything I could try to fix my current setup. Is it worth reflashing? What's the likely culprit for the pull battery freezes?
My SD Card is a class 4 sandisk 8gb.
Alternatively I need a ROM which has
Very Stable!
A2SD+
Sense (Any version) OR…
Equivalent to 'Lock phone after' in Screen Unlock dialog*
*My work requires a PIN but the above dialog stops the pin being required if I have used the phone within 5 minutes!
I'm not bothered about the latest sense or loads of bells and whistles.
Thanks for any help!
Check Runnymede AIO.
I'd repartition the sd card before I do anything else.

I got a class 6 4gb ad and I tried several ROM all with the CM7 and 1gb part.
I experienced just 1 freeze with the insert coin.
My old sd just burned out on the cool3d
Now I'm on revolution, pretty much visual stunning but have bugs on fast boot
Is cm7 extending the memory as you want?

Try the rom and kernel from my signature. IMHO the best rom for desire.

Sorry to jump in here, but I had issues along the lines of the OP, your post caught my eye.
I went from an 8GB card to a 16GB card and my Desire would freeze at least twice per day. It sometimes went a whole day, but when I woke up, it would have crashed, always required a battery out and in to fix.
Went back to my 8GB card yesterday and its been fine since!
Is partitioning required to solve this? Would love to go back to my 16GB card!
Cheers
Check your sd card, if not - ask sandvold he lost one this way. Can be a NAND bug.

Likely to be a problem with the SD card; as others have said, re-format is a good place to start. Personally I'm enjoying the MildWild ROM (3.2). Can't find a lock phone after xx option though, sorry. It's very quick and seems very stable.

Yeah people try this one first. Sd cards can go bonkers sometimes and a fresh repartition/format can do wonders.
via xda app
just like everyone else has said...repartition your sd...now for the second question I recommend using AN-droid 2.1.0 for a new rom....its stock GB, fast, smooth and really responsive...hope it helps bud...

If you're looking for stable and fast ROM with a2sd method, I'll recommend you CyanogenMod 7.1 with int2sd script. It's really fast and works fine on most popular HBOOTS (stock, data++, CM7 r2).
Remember the order of flashing!
first: cyanogenmod 7.1
then: gapps
and after that: INT2SD
I have MildWild on my HTC Desire, its small enough to fit on the Internal Storage and give you approx 240mb for data/apps or it can be installed on EXT4 SD card partition.
Hello guys!
First of all I would like to thank everyone who participates at XDA Developers. Incredible Job!
Since a few weeks I'm having problems with my HTC Desire using several ROMs.
I've been using Mildwild 3.2 since a few months and it went like a charm, so there was actually no need for me to change it. But then Mildwild 4.0 was released and for some reason I thought it might be a good idea to update my Desire to the latest Version.
I took my AData 16GB Class 10 SD Card and used GParted to partition the Card like it was supposed to be. 1GB Ext3. But when I installed Mildwild 4.0 I always had the same problem that when installing Apps the phone just "rebooted".. I'm using quotation marks, as it does not completely reboot, but instead only shows the "Mildwild" Logo (not the green HTC text on white background). The app is not installed. When i completely reboot the phone it is most likely to happen, that i can install the app without any problem.
As I did not find any solution to this and Mildwild started working on an ICS ROM i decided to switch to a different ROM that i already experienced a few months ago (at leat its predecessor) - Redux2 ZM 4.4. As I always thought that the problem is caused by my SD Card i decided to buy 4EXT Recovery from market and clean up everything before installing it. I formated everything /boot, /sdcard/, etc. - everything! And repartitioned the SD Card with 1GB Ext3 and 15GB Fat32. After installing Thalamus r4 kernel and redux2 everything has been restored from google servers like a charm, but for some reason some apps could not be downloaded. When I tried to install them manually after the automatic download finished.. guess what happened? The phone rebooted with the "redux" animation..
I actually dont have any idea anymore, what the reason could actually be. Maybe you can help me with my problem, as i just want to use a stable ROM on my beloved desire.
Thx in advance and sorry if i didnt find a thread that already discusses this problem!
i suggest you unstall some apps,because i've gone through this problem.It happens when there was a little space left.
Well, it says 130 MB left on internal storage
Same problem - no solution yet
Hi - I have also been having the same problem for the last 3 or so days. However, I am on an HTC Desire using LeeDroid ROM - so it would seem that this problem is not dependent on the ROM. Would be very grateful for a solution. This is starting to drive me nuts.
Im still struggelin with the problem. I thought it might be caused be a corrupted partition table? The idea with low space might also be the problem. Actually there are like 110 MB free whenever i look it up, but there might be peaks where it is lot less.. seen 40mb space left already. But why is this possible anyway? Thought this is the reason i have a sdext partition..

Me too. Just out of interest, are you running wavesecure? Long shot, but I was wondering if this is somehow connected. Nasty piece of software!
What is wavesecure?

ok, i just wiped everything, formatted everything, repartitioned everything (1 gb ext4), flashed stock hboot, wiped everything again, flashed cm7r2 hboot, wiped everything again, flashed mildwild 4.0, flashed kernel r4.. booted once, set SD-EXT to active, rebooted, set sd-ext to default installation location, rebooted again.. now apps are downloading from the google servers and everything seems to work like a charm.. no "reboots" which i had the last few weeks.. ill keep u up to date
Sry for bringing this thread up again, but looks like I'm having the same problem as mentioned in the first post. Almost everytime I try to update or download new application, phone does the same as thread author described.
I'm on stock HBOOT if it means anything, Mildwild 4.8 based on Oxygen. Do I have to update HBOOT to fix this or is there another solution ?

Changing hboot doesn't help.
Just do what the OP did. Wipe everything, repartition your sd-card, and then see what happens.
I'll give it a try, I see Nobizzle did flash cm7r2 hboot so that is the reason I asked that. Nevermind, I'll stick with stock and report result after I finish.
Hello,
my Desire just keeps rebooting, only 5-60 seconds after it's started. I have been using "VJ CM10.1 Jelly Bean 4.2.2 - v4.7" for some month, and just today the phone just reboots. Tried everything; full wipe, then updated to latest v5.3, no change. Since then I've gone thru all kinds om ROMs; good old Oxygen, CM7, MildWild, you name it..
What the freak has happend?! I mean; it's the same with every rom! And I had done nothing to my phone since yesterday, this just started this morning and it's driving me crazy!! Gotta have a phone, you know..
Please help!
If its a pvt1 model, it may be a mother board issue.

yh i agree, same happened to me before using a sandisk sdcard, all roms kept on freezing/rebooting so got a new sdcard and all was fine again.
Ok, got a Pvt3. So that should not be the problem. Also got a EXT partition, but wouldn't it be strange that this problem occurs now, when I have used the same sd card, ext partition table, ROM (+ different ones), etc..?
Well, I did a few more full wipe's and all that and what's not, then flashed the latest VJ CM 10 v5.3 again, and for some reason the phone's been stable now for 1,5 hours!! Just crossing my fingers here now, that it keeps this way...
Thanks for all the help! I'll write back if things turn bad again!

iv seen recently some pvt3 models overheating aswell. it also could be ur sdcard coz when my phone started rebooting i re flashed the rom, tried different roms, partitioned my sdcard again but nothing, as soon as i put a new one in, the phone worked perfect. Sometimes sdcards just go bad and for no reason.
