[Q] HTC desire (bravo) - internal storage cm10 - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
Before i state my question i have to say you guys do an incredible job!!:good:
I havent done any rooting or using custom rom before the past four days. I`ve read lots at this forum but regarding my problem the solutions suggested there concerns older builds.
I just flashed to CM10.1 VJ Jelly Bean 4.2.1 v4.5 and it is smooth.
The only thing i havent been able to do is to extend the internal storage on my HTC Desire.
I have the ext4 partition running and i do see the drive in the app "titanium backup" as "SD card (a2sd)" 1GB(914MB free)
but in "FreeSpace" the Ext partition shows space used 0%. in settings-> storage the internal memory is total 148MB as usual.
I might be wrong in asuming that im supposed to see an enlargement of my internal storage?
I followed the instructions made by vijendrahs, the release notes for CM10.1 VJ Jelly Bean 4.2.1 v4.5.
the execute A2SD script seems to woork fine.
I tried to download the S2E at google play but after flashing from CM10_VJ_4.1.2_v2.2, it wasn`t available for download. might be due to the terminal emulator provided?
Im really trying to boost the memory on my phone but all my effort the recent days i haven`t been able to find a solution. i might be doing something wrong.
Any one got any idea, how to make this work?
help is much appreciated.
im sorry this post isn`t short as it is supposed to be.

You aren't supposed to 'see' the internal memory enlarge. That happens only if you install an int2sd script. What you have there is an A2sd script, that only moves data/app to ext.

thx for reply!
then i have learned something new this day to
i have browsed the int2sd, would be nice to have them both working even if its basically the same thing.
my rom would probably crash if i flash it so ill leave it for a later testing run.

afaik its only a softlink (/data -> /sd-ext/data), so u dont see it directly.

Hello auto82,
I am facing your exactly same problem, plus I tried also s2e app, but still I have few space and once I've installed some apps (e.g. facebook, hotmail, twitter, etc) I am stuck with nospace left for updates.
Did you tried the in2sd ? How is it going ? Do you have more space ? Its fast ?

If you have a fast sd-card, like class 6, it's fast. If you don't, just install m2sd and only move app and dalvik to sd.

[Q] Is this normal? (RCMixS ROM)

Hey,
So over last weekend I installed the RCMixS rom, and it works good, for the most part.
I experience the following bugs first of all:
-Random restarts
-Randomly deletes alarms
-Lockscreen screws up sometimes (GO SMS Pro icon doesnt show sometimes)
-HTC Flipclock does always shows old time for a split second after bypassing lock screen
Also, I have barely installed any apps, and I have only 16MB left... I was able to install more apps using the stock software with the desire :s
Finally, I only have about ~100MB free of memory, no matter what. On the only stock software, I had close to ~250MB free usually.
Anyways, im new to roms and rooting. Is this normal? I was under the impression after I root I would get rid of all the HTC crapware and have more free space... but apparently not? Is there a better rom with HTC sense 2.1/3.0 mix out there?
Thanks!
Hmmm? Anyone?
Wow, ok. Thought this would of been replied to by now since I read it last night (sorry).
Anyway, bugs. There will always be bugs in software, especially software that is ported and is a hybrid rom, being Sense 2.1/3.0.
As for storage. The internal storage is ****. By the time you install the rom and nothing else you will have about ~130MB of internal memory available. That's where A2SD comes in. By default, when you flashed the rom it would of installed an A2SD script so no matter what apps you install, you have enough memory for it. You can't see how much space is available by going into your settings, you'll need a file explorer or an app that can read the ext partition.

Oh okay, but I keep getting the low-space message, anyway to fix that?
Yeh. Use a2sd. Did you create an ext partition when you flashed the rom? Like I said by default it installs one. The rom shouldn't even boot without it.

Yup, I created a 1GB ext3 partition.
is a2sd an app from the market?
nah!! its not an app..its a feature..a2sd stands for applications to sd card..most of the apps that you install can be moved to fat32 partition of your sd card..you vil find a .android.secure.blah blah name folder on fat 32 partition..But if you use custom roms which have a2sd+ feature then the apps will be stored in sd-ext partition of your card...
A2sd+ is useful because even if you connect your phone to pc via disk storage mode,you can access all the apps whereas the opposite happens when you use only a2sd...ie you cant access apps when connected in disk storage mode!!
Hmm, so apps are automatically moved? But i keep getting the low storage warning on the desire

Right,
First things first, where are you?
Secondly, when did you get the phone?
If you're in the UK and you got the phone in June/July/August/September 2010 then the chances are your phone is faulty and that is the cause of the reboots. I had this happen to me so I'm going by experience here. I got a new phone and the problems completely disappeared.
Secondly, if you're running out of room:

Download those modified versions of this ROM and use that as it gives Data2EXT instead of A2SD+. So instead of giving the ROM 1GB of the SD card and still running out of space, you give it 1GB of SD and don't run out of space.

I live in Canada, and I bought the phone August 2010 from TELUS.
So basically, its the ROM thats glitching? I just need to use a different ROM? Does that mean I have to reinstall a new ROM and re-download my apps and settings?
Thanks!

[Q] No free memory with app2sd (InsertCoin 1.1.4)

Hi everybody,
I've rooted my HTC Desire and installed the InsertCoin Sense 2.1 CM7 1.1.4 ROM. It works great, but the main resean of rooting my phone is creating more space on internal memory.
So, I've installed Titanium backup and moved my apps to SD. With the 'App2SD' app I can see the apps moved to the SD card. But unfortunately the available space on the phone itself didn't change. So now I'm stuck with 8.41 MB of free internal memory.
Who knows a solution???

recommend you read this
it's long, but hopefully your understanding will be better afterwards
Great, this was exactly what I'm looking for. Now I understand the difference between A2SD+ and CM7. I've installed the latter, hence the internal memory problem. Changing to the A2SD version will probably fix this, but I read a lot about the CM7 being faster than the A2SD.
I'm gonna give it a try!

glad it was useful, also reassuring to hear that you're learning along the way!
I solved the problem and compared to rooting and s-offing the phone, this was really easy. It wasn't necessary to install the A2SD version. I stayed with the CM7 version of Insertcoin because of the speed advantages compared to A2SD.
The trick is to install a new hboot table. The original leaves little space for apps to install. I downloaded a new partition table from alpharev.nl (Bravo CM7 r2). Make sure you pick the PB99IMG file and after downloading rename it to PB99IMG.zip. After checking the checksum, I copied it to the root of SD card on the phone. Switched off the power and went into fastboot (hold power and volume down and navigate to fastboot). There you'll be prompted if you want to install the update. Select yes and the new table was installed in seconds. I rebooted the phone, and without re-installing backups, it worked instantly! Now I have 145 MB free! It sounds like an advertisement, but it wasn't any more difficult than this. No need for using command prompts or android flasher...

Desire - ICS (Sandvoid) - Wait/Kill on most Applications

I flashed my HTC desire (Stock HBOOT) with ICS (Sandvoid) 0.15.
Installed smoothly. Then I ran a2sd install and answered y/y/y (wanted to see how far I can take it
Immediate observation was that when I run some app (facebook/youtube and even some system apps) it used to hand throw up a screen that app is not responding and option to WAIT / KILL etc
If I wait usually the app would come back but it was nagging too much.
My question is if I get a class 6+ SD card would this issue disappear?
By the way, it was beautiful to see ICS on my desire and I want to go there again.
For now shifted to Oxygen 2.3.2 with HBOOT oxygen r2. wondering if it also has an option to move data 2 ext inbuilt? tried a2sd install did not work (I know its inbuilt etc etc)
- Sam
I had the same issue and it seems to have stopped when I did a fresh install and did NOT move the Dalvik-cache to SD.
Also, try another CPU guvernor (performance maybe).
Hope this helps.

Thanks TheRavenGod.
I had tried the "performance" governer (though with cache and data both moved)
I have ordered for a class 6 card will give it another try. I am app hungry so needs loads of space to install them.
Will keep the results posted on this thread.
Just installed ICS keyboard on Oxygen 2.3.2, Enjoying it.
You should try another a2sd script. I find that croniccorey's d2ext mod works well and is fast and stable. He also has some other a2sd scripts here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716124
Be advised that the d2ext script does not work on every rom. d2ext is speedy because doesnt move the dalvik cache
I had trouble too when I did a2sd install and answered y/y/y. Try answering y/n/y, that solved it for me...

Yes but that would not give me all the space that I need
My Class 6 card should arrive today, will try once more.
For now enjoying the OxygenR2 HBOOT with lot of space in data partition. Still about 170 MB left after my usual applications installed.

Thats the same dilemma I had ;-) Bought a Class 10 card and still no change. I think there is a bug in that A2SD script. Luckily for me the internal space is enoght for the apps datas...

when you run a2sd script, choose Y/N/Y. ie.. move only dalvik to sd card, dont move app data to sd card. This was working fine with me always.

[Q] Cool3D Runnymede v7 and A2SD

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to give a second life to my GSM Desire. Like a lot of people, I had internal memory problems with my Stock ROM Froyo, so I decided to skip on custom ROMs with unlimited memory.
I tried CM7 but I missed Sense. Then I flashed Supernova Xtrem, unlimited memory was good, but my device was rebooting once or twice a day, loosing each time 5 by 10% of battery life...
So I decided to flash another ROM: Cool3D Runnymede v7 by Coolexe.
My device is rooted, S-OFF (Revolutionnary) and I installed 4Ext Recovery (which is really very usefull) !
Coolexe wrote that it's Stock Hboot compatible so I kept my Stock Hboot.
I've a 1GB Ext4 partition (thanks to 4EXt recovery).
The md5 is good, so I flash the ROM in the recovery (Stock Hboot, dalvik to SD, GSM version), the phone reboots and the ROM works.
BUT I can't use my Ext4 partition! The free space on my internal memory is only about 140 MB...
So I looked for a solution in the forum and after many wipe/reflash/reboot/wipe/reflash/reboot, I found the Amarullz'A2SDX script ! I flashed the 40ad2sdx-a2.zip file in the recovery and, fantastic, it shows in my internal memory 330 MB and 660 MB free.
So I install some apps, I use the web browser and I get a message telling me that the internal memory's full..Damned!
So, Could you suggest me a "A2SD" method that works with this great ROM ??? :fingers-crossed:
I unzipped the ROM package to see how it was made and I saw It already has a "initd" folder with a "40a2sd" file in it. Is it a clue?
Thanks in advance!

The ext partition is working. It will not show in the internal memory. You will see that your memory will be filling a lot slower. Just continue using the ROM. You didn't have to install anything.
Reinstall the ROM, and use it like it is.

Woow, impressive! In fact, it was so simple! Seems to work! I installed a lot of apps: as you said, the internal memory fills very slower...But I have to install lots of applications to make it full...
Problem solved!
Thank you very very much!
Fhlamby
Hi !
I have no more problems with A2SD but sometimes (at least once a day), the phone freezes. It can be when I open a game (angry birds or fruit slice) or even when I open the internet navigator ! The only solution I found: take off battery and reboot...It's the ONLY reproach I have for this ROM, so if I could solve it, it would be great!
Could it be a RAM problem (in this case, I don't know what I can do) or perhaps a kernel problem (I have this one : 2.6.35.14-gingercakes-0.9-avs, is there a bette one for this ROM) ?
Thanks in advance!
Fhlamby
Try droidzone kernels, prob the best sense kernels around.
Ok, thanks for the advice! Where can I find it and which one is the best for the Cool3D ROM ?

Google would be a good start. Also i never used that rom so i dunno. Droidzone has alot of kernels, all with different features. Have a read at them and test a few of them over the next few days

HTC Desire ROM suggestions

Hello all!
1st post and 1st day registered, thought ive been monitoring desire activity in these forums since 2011. Thank you al for the help provided through these years.
THE BACKGROUND
I have been using HTC Desire for about a year with oxygen rom and was more than pleased with the results. after that i had to give away my phone to my wife, for some time, in witch i flashed stock rom (some women cannot appreciate the use of custom/rooted phone!?!? haha) .
Now the phone is back in my hands, and as much as i would like, oxygen is outdated (or better say non existent).
THE QUESTION
Is there a current rom JB+ (up to date) that meets the speed and stability standards set by Oxygen2.3.2 with Data2sd support(or data2everywhere) and preferably without sense UI ? i currently have a class4 4gb microsd partitioned with ~3.5gb Fat32 / 512mb ext4 partition.
Thank you again for your time
PS: i have tried some roms around, but ive found them a bit slower even in touch experience , than GB AOSP roms.
In short, doubt you'll find a JB ROM that matches the speed and stability of Oxygen or GB AOSP ROMs. Oxygen still is one of the most stable ROMs despite being abandoned, mine is still based on it. Just because it isn't updated doesn't necessarily make it bad .
The only way would be to keep trying a few JB ROMs yourself, see if they are good enough for your standards. (I don't think any of them have Sense UI).
Data2sd is a bit different, most ROMs now just use normal A2SD, moving apps and dalvik to the sd-ext, JB ROMs tend to need to be activated by terminal commands (read the OP of the threads / search), so you don't have to flash anything extra.
512MB ext4 partition is a bit small, you might run out of space on it depending on how many apps you want to install. Consider repartitioning it to ~1.5GB if you can afford the space, do this using 4EXT recovery or gparted only.

i found a working copy of flashable Oxygen 2.3.2 but im having trouble enabling A2SD support on it. you see, all Oxygen specific guides are on "404 page not found" state, and i have no memory of what i did to install it 2 years ago.
i tried as i said a couple of other roms, and none matched the speed of GB Oxygen

Try the one in my sig, it's no longer being developed, but based on Oxygen 2.3.2. It works best in terms of space if you are s-off with cm7r2 hboot.
You don't have to do anything with this one to activate A2SD, it's already built in. As long as the partition is properly created in gparted or 4EXT recovery, just keep apps on internal (don't 'move to SD') and apps and dalvik will be tricked to sd-ext. You won't see your actual internal memory read 'internal + sd-ext', but the A2SD is working.
UPDATE:after a few hours of testing, and flashing, I managed to find Working copies of oxygen 2.3.2 and compatible version of a2sd.
Today I will upload those files to my server for distribution, along with a «short guide» post in case anyone wants pure oxygen experience on his desire.

Dimitris

iIF you have CWRecovery V3+ you have to flash an older version, in order to be able to flash the a2sd above. You downgrade using Android Flasher.
Steps that worked for me:
1 Create 2 partitions on SD, one FAT32 and one ext3 (using Gparted)
2 Put the above zips in Fat32 partition
3 Boot phone to recovery
4 Full wipe/Factory default and cache
5 install Oxygen rom using "install zip from SD card" option
6 Start oxygen rom, and let it boot for first time, also let it settle for few minutes.
7 Reboot to Recovery
8 Install a2sd script using "install zip from SD card " option
9 Reboot phone.
Done
When it boots enter google account and download a Terminal Emulator . To check if all is ok you shoud run
Code:
su
Code:
a2sd diskspace
and you should see the partition recognized as internal with the space used and left.
Job Done. i run this install for 2 days now with no problems at all
Hope i helped,
Dimitris.
Just a few points:
- Did you switch hboot before you flashed the ROM? This would get you even more space. If you're still on stock hboot you're wasting a lot of space on /system partition.
If it's the latest version of Oxygen it should fit onto OxygenR2 hboot with 100MB /system.
- Good you used gparted , ext4 over ext3 would have been slightly faster, not that much of a big deal though.
- Can I ask where you got the A2SD script from and how does it work? Does it move apps and dalvik automatically? Does the internal memory read 'internal + sd-ext', or is it hidden like a lot of A2SD scripts but working as normal?
Just asking, I know you've put a disclaimer at the top, but it's useful just in case for anybody in the future using this. They should be informed exactly what they're flashing and at least in basic terms how and what it does.

I am not sure that oxygen supports ext4 and thats why igot the safe path to ext3. Using Gparted was oneway for me , because i only have linux systems on my home/work
- Can I ask where you got the A2SD script from and how does it work? Does it move apps and dalvik automatically? Does the internal memory read 'internal + sd-ext', or is it hidden like a lot of A2SD scripts but working as normal?

this particular A2SD is probably a previous version of darktremmors. i found it on my backups, and uts the one i used when oxygen forums were live. it does move apps automaticaly i am not sure about davik ,and dunno how to check it ,internal reads only internal memory, but works like a charm.. you can make sure it works, by installing tons of apps and checking "a2sd diskspace"
PS sorry for all that info missing, its my first post about roms, i will probably get better while upping my post count

In other words you're s-off, but still on stock hboot. This is wasteful like I said, your /system size is 250MB, but you're using less that ~95MB, wasting over 150MB
If you switch to OxygenR2 hboot, the system size is 100MB, you'll waste only 5MB, and the rest gets converted to extra internal memory...total 332MB instead of 147MB...i.e. more space for apps
Nandroid backup, download hboot from here, recommend to flash using fastboot, nandroid restore.

ext4 is dependent on the A2SD script rather than the ROM. Most will say if they support it. I believe darktremor did support it when I used it on a different phone.

You can manage it using this
You can keep dalvik on internal for now, sometimes better for speed if you don't have a high class sd card.
However, on stock hboot, you only have 147MB for app data and dalvik in this case. It may work now, but if you start to install more apps, on stock hboot you can easily still run out of space quite quickly. 332MB /data partition (internal memory) on OxygenR2 hboot allows for much more space for apps.
A better way to check your memory I always recommend is an app called DiskUsage, you'll be able to browse all your partitions. Install it now, you'll see all the free (wasted) space on your /system partition I mentioned earlier.

That's fine, at least you're trying to help rather than many others who just post unnecessarily just to post in dev threads (unnecessarily). You don't have to up your post count to learn, you get that from reading
