Does DHD need ext3/4 partition on sd card - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi just bought DHD with stock
Couldn't find here suggestion, so having a Class 10, 16gb SD do I need to have ext4 partition for custom ROM or just leave it as a single FAT 32
Willing to root it with Ace Kit.
then one of thise roms
[AOSP-4.2.1] [JOP40G] [Linaro 4.7.3-toolchain] [SR10] OFFICIAL codefireX Builds
or
JellyBean - JELLYTIME for DHD/Inspire4g - 4.2 R6.1 Available
thanks

No you don't need to do that to your sd card.
What you need to format once using 4EXT is your internal memory before you flash an EXT3/4 based ROM.
I believe there's already a flashable .zip for that. (Anyone correct me if I'm mistaken.)

Ok. Thanks

[Q] Flashing CM 7.0 RC1

I am currently running CM 6.1.0 and I am interested in flashing CM 7.0. RC1. I wanted to find out the following:
1) What Kernel is working best for CM 7.0 RC1?
2) Do I need to upgrade to CWM 3.0.05 or Can I stay on 2.5.1.2?
3) Any major issues with CM 7.0 RC1 other than those mentioned by Slahyer?
4) What is your experience with CM 7.0 RC1? Good or Bad
5) Do I need to partition my SD Card for SD-Ext? If so, what are the benefits and what values should I use for SD-Ext and Swap? I have a 32gb Class 2 Sandisk Card.
Thanks in advance.

1. I use - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938790 . But just like roms, its all about preference and how YOU feel the rom is with the kernel you are using.
2. I flashed CM7 using 2.5.1.2 with no problems.
3. Other then a random reboot (not often, once every 2 days possibly in my experience) everything has been working great for me.
4. Good
5. No you don't have to, but you can if you choose to. I don't so I can't help with exactly what the pros/cons are of this.

As for me...
1. I'm using the one that comes included (nothing seems to be broken with that one) and for it's fast and gets good battery life so far
2. 2.5.1.2 is great
3. Haven't seen any
4. Great (and this is coming from someone who bought this phone mostly for HTC Sense)
5.I don't do this.
Is flashing CM 7 through ROM manager the best way to install?
Have you checked the cm7 thread in android development section? Most of you answers can be found in the op of that thread and the cm7 RC 1.5 thread.

512 MB ext4 is enough for a2sd+ version.

512 mb is enough, ext4? I thought you need ext3. (I have 512 mb ext3 and everything is working...)
I use this version (a2sd+): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957291 It works great!

Yes same here
I have partition Fat32 followed by 1 GB ext 3
running latest miui au 1.7.15 with a2sd+ which is awesome
AWESOME, that's the best description for MIUI
Here you can find a installation guide: http://www.miui-au.com/installation/rom-installation/ and here another one: http://en.miui.com/a-13.html
Goodluck!
It's really hard to explain. Everytime I began to flash the latest version of MIUI Rom from MIUI.us it aborts the installation. I got a older version to flash but not the latest one. I've even had help from a owner of the site and the developer that made Rom Manager with no luck.

[Q] Best JB Rom for 1st custom rom installation

Hi,
Due to annoying low memory issue of the Stock ROM, I am planning to update my desire to custom ROM, and thinking to put a JB rom. So far I have searched and looked through CM10 JB and AOKP JB. can someone point out what is the difference between these two and also if there is any other suggestions for the best stable JB rom that I can install as my first custom ROM.
Also i hope these roms support using the SD-ext / SD card to profile large memory size for installing applications, so I don't run into low memory issues often which is the case now with STOCK ROM.
I've currently rooted the device with CWM recovery, S-ON and stock Hboot .
On sd-card partition, what is the recommended sd-ext size to go for, 1/1.5GB , and why it can't be set to 2G or above, any specific reason. In one of the thread I have read the sd-ext partition size is also linked with internal memory , can someone please explain that.
Thank you for your support.

Those three words don't mingle together.
As you don't seem too tech savvy, and this is your first time with custom rom, I suggest you look further.

Hi,
as far as i know there still not exist a bugfree JB rom for our device [Desire].
You can try a Gb rom. The best one is very relative term. For me the the best one is Cronmod with very good battery life (daily normal use up to 2 days.) huge internal memory (INTEXT+ 1Gb) fast and smoot and so on...
good luck.
Hello!
I use this custom rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1945441
It's very smooth and looks stable + have built in a2sd script + very good support + up do date!
Try it if you want!
You'll be a little disappointed, because JB ROMs tend to be as large as stock HTC Sense, and you will run into space issues even when using some apps-to-sdext scheme.
the only stable JB rom is qiss me rom : http://tw.qiss.mobi/download_software.php?mod=en
others have stability issues mainly with camera and video and not very stable to be used as daily rom
MIUI JB
I can recommend MIUI JB: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1850436
On storage: several apps installed (no games) and 150 MB free (out of 500). 2.91 GB free on USB storage. With A2SD storage should not be an issue.
Very stable and fast (certainly compared to ICS). I don't install Facebook as it seems to slow down all the other apps. Therefore I have installed Facebook Lite, loads very quickly!
I have an issue with mobile data (to be clear: not WiFi) but this can be due to my provider (Belgium).

[Q] Which CM is best for Wildfire S ??

I have had rooted my device, Now i just want to select CM. which CM is more stable on wildfire S Cm 9.1 or Cm 10 ?
And if i partition the card with ROM manager app ,is it safe will it delete my data from the card ?
I haven't tried any other CM but CM10, so I cannot tell you wether it's more stable than CM7 or CM9, but I can tell you that it is fully satisfying! It's smoother thand the original sense 2.5 rom on your WFS and most problems that occured with CM10 are solved or are being solved thanks to the devs... So I would go for the latest CM, which is CM10...
I tested modpunk's CM10 Alpha 2 and ParanoidAndroid 2.54 JB and Jelly King 1.2 and I have to say that Jelly King is probably the best Rom I have ever used! Go for it!
Odp: [Q] Which CM is best for Wildfire S ??
I flashed Jelly King and I must say it's very good rom. Fast, smooth etc.
But in my case voice search and other voice service doesn't work. I don't know why is that Rom fault or gapps.

Thanks

Thankx man
Since buying my wfs I stayed on stock only for a little bit. So for over a year I've been using various cm and cm- based roms.
Right now I've found cm10 builds to be somewhat snappier. Cm9 based roms a little more stable imho. (Still, the most stable for me have been cm7 based roms.)
To your second question now, if you're going to be partitioning your SD, do take the time to backup first, definitely.
