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?
- what am I supposed to do then?

hi peeps , ok i want to do the nand unlock (s-off)and have gone to the alpharev site i have read that you can do it via pc or you can download and flash via phone .. so i just wanted to ask if what im doing is right before i do it ..
ok so i downloaded the pb99img bravo oxygen ( i presume this is the right one as i have oxygen 2.0 rc6 ) or does that have nothing to do with it lol ... i have renamed it PB99IMG.zip.. do i now put on sd card reboot into bootloader/hboot whatever its called and flash it from there .. or am i totally wrong and need some super guidance lol
thanks for any reply's in advance
More reading, you are talking about flashing a different partition layout. Before you can do that you need to S-off. If the instructions on the AlphaRev site are not cleat to you i suggest you don't S-off until you understand what is on there.
This might get you started on how to S-off.
I would suggest using the 'CD method'. It's super, super easy and it takes just a few minutes.
It's as easy as this, and bingo you have S-OFF.

Or CD version
1.download Alpha Rev.iso
2.burn .iso image to CD using a iso burning software eg. Power ISO
3.boot from CD eg. Hold F12 at boot
4.press the Legendary enter
TIPS connect USB when the CD has booted
Any problems just pm me

Nero Burnlite will suffice. And a DVD will be fine.
i used ImgBurn..
you can use CD or DVD
ok i installed imgburn ... sorry for all questions but if ya dont ask ya dont find out
do i write image file to disk
or files folders to disk ??
then once done reboot pc and hold f12 , then something will come up like when you go into recovery /factory reset . then choose the file etc and send to usb ?????
you write the .ISO image to CD.
the download is immediately above the MD5 sum on the alpharev site.
check the MD5 sums as well before burning it.

It will give you a set of options, if you have a USB plugged in it will ask if you want to boot from that if you have an OS installed on it (I have Linux on a USB drive). Then it will ask you if you want to boot from CD, or the hard drive. Obviously you want to boot from the CD, it will load Linux, and auto install S-OFF to your phone.
thanks chaps for your help , i have successfully s -offed , thanks for all the info and help

Awesome. I'd suggest changing HBOOT table now. You can shuffle around the NAND and increase the space for installable apps, you can get anything from ~150 meg to ~350 megs depending on the OS installed.
lol whats hboot table ??? i only have apps with widgets saved to internal memory and i have a 750mb partition on my sd for apps

It allocates the system, cache and data partitions. By default a Sense ROM uses about 280megs of the internal ROM, and in contrast the Oxygen ROM I use uses about ~65Mbs, so you have ~210Mbs of unused space that can't be written to. The new HBOOT tables reconfigure the space so you can use the unneeded System space as Data which will give you an extra ~210Mbs for apps.
When I installed the Oxygen RC's I deleted my EXT3 partition on my SD card and just piled the apps on over to the phone.
oh ok mate . thanks but i really dont think im ever going to have millions of apps so im quite happy with just putting widget apps to internal and other to sd .. it will do for me as its not to technical lol
anyway thanks for all the help today take it easy chap

i was just reading over this again so does that mean for eg : on titanium backup it says at bottom internal 154mb (free 88mb) if i was to do this table thing would it then say internal 364 mb as its going to add approx 210mb and then free would be 276mb or something along those lines lol, or is it kind of like where you partition the sd its unseen but still using it ?

You will need to change the table back, it only gives you 90 something Mbs for Oxygen, and Sense is a good 250Mbs. It won't brick the device but you won't have a working OS I would guess as it would fail to load. As long as you had a nandroid of the AOSP ROM you could just restore, otherwise you'd have to factory reset to get it working again.
Hi All,
I am attempting to edit leedroid final 2.5 to fit inside a cm7r2 hboot.
I have updated the updater-script and the unpacking of the zip works correctly.
I have symlinked /system/app to /sd-ext/app_s
I have confirmed the presence of apps on my sd-ext partition by checking using adb shell whilst in recovery.
The system size is less than 125MB.
I feel like i am missing something, the rom gets to the end of the the android boot animation and then falls into a loop.
My best guess is that it is related to the smaller cache partition on the cm7r2 hboot.
I can provide logcat prints if anyone has time to help or advise. (i am attempting to learn!)
Cheers

I believe it is supposed to be that you symlink sd-ext/app_s to system/app and not the other way around. Also did you set permissions for sd-ext/app_s?

Hi,
Cheers for the reply.
I did symlink that /sd-ext/app_s to /system/app that way round and set permissions correctly.
I looked through leedroid 3 HD updater-script to make sure I had these correct.
Still no luck

did you mount sd ext in init.d?
Yeah, the original rom uses a2sd anyway so that should mean that it is already mounted?

Hey,
I've got a situation. I'd like to try and run a HTC Sense 2.1 version, preferably the one from Coolexe into a different Hboot than the common type. Namely into a Hboot with 210/205Mb for system and 5Mb cache so I can have the rest for Data, this is because I prefer to have everything on the nand of the phone instead of the sd-ext etc! I've posted the coming question in his topic aswell..
Coolexe uses at his own ROM a trick which enables him to use the cache partition, he then symlinks those files (which are in the cache partition) to the /system folder. So when I figured that out, I went and put some files into the cache partition so my system folder is lower than 180MB, this way I could use the Sense Hboot. Everything went fine and the ROM booted, however I couldn't get on my WiFi. I did see my WiFi, but I could not connect..
To check if it wasn't the ROM I put everything back into the /system folder and tried the ROM with the stock Hboot. This time everything just worked. So I think that the symlinking simply just doesn't work..
When I looked at titanium backup, with the symlinking ROM, my system folder sayd that my /system had no room left anymore. So I think because of that it won't get an IP address.
So I read somewhere that Thalamus made a Hboot creater, so I thought my problem is solved now! I'll just create my own Hboot.. However when I tried to make a Hboot similar to the one from Oxygen or CM7r2, just to check if everything worked the way it had to, the md5sum didn't match.. So now I'm wondering if someone has created a good functioning Hboot with that tool, I prefer not to brick my phone
So I was wondering if someone had the same problem? And if someone doesn't have this problem could he/she create a custom Hboot of 210mb for me? Or something what comes near that figure..
If someone has an idea about why I don't get an IP address I'm glad aswell!
Thanks in advance
i had about dozen done... everything is spot on... HERE IS YOURS
md5:
114213A25C3C2E6148B838F5628E5027
Tried and working
About IP address:
Is it still obtaining IP? try to set IP manually, on my router(wifi N) i can't connect without static IP... previous router worked perfectly but unfortunately it was not WIFI N
_thalamus developed an app to create your own hboots:
http://thalamus-hacking.blogspot.com/2011/07/custom-hbootsupdate.html
I knew that MatDroid, like I sayd in my topic start (at least I tried too).. However my MD5sum did not match with the MD5sum from alpharev, so I was a bit scared to do it!
That is why I asked in here if someone knew why they don't match or if someone could make me mine.. I'd prefer to be able to make my own, however when the MD5sums don't match I'm not going to try it xD
If you really want to check to make sure your computer is generating good hboots, check the hexdump output and compare it with a known good one. For example, generate one with 100 MB system, 5 MB cache, then dump the hex and compare with the Oxygen r2 hboot from alpharev.nl, they should be identical apart from the label

Quoting Thalamus... So I guess the hexdump is the thing you need to check as the MD Sum will not work to verify if it works.

Hmm that makes a lot of sense I Overread I guess.. I just assumed that when you open the program it says to check the bravo_alpha, with the other program which you get by that rar file, and that I could do the same with the other Hboot's from alpharev website!
Other question will follow, I'm going to look it up anyways, how can I make a hexdump xD
Owh yeah and thanks kotag82! I'll try it tonight, just had a lot of tests at school :-/
I use an MDSum checker. There is one I use that I got from portableapps.com. Pretty useful if you quickly wanna check mdsums of roms, hboots and whatnot.
I figured it out, like stankyou sayd.. I did indeed had to compare them in a hex editor!
And everything has to be matching to let it be the same, I made a Hboot with the exact same label and partition layout and now the hex files between mine and the alpharev Hboot match I did it with a program called HxD hex editor, which I got from a tip of t-minik. With that program you can compare hex files from one file with hex files from another file!
Thanks everybody who helped!

Anyways now the hboot works and that problem is solved.. I still got my IP adress issue! I really don't understand it :-/
The strange thing is when I use the exact same ROM with a stock Hboot everything just simply works! If I just knew where to find my problem.. I think it is in the updater script, because Coolexe used the cache as a partition, but I simply just don't know for sure..
Ok I feel really stupid right now! I made a partition of 215MB and everything just worked Even though the ROM booted with 210MB I think it didn't have enough room after all..
Is there some way to create a hboot with cache partition less than 5mb? The tool linked here only allows partition to be 5mb at minimum. I do not need cache at all because of scripts I'm using.

Your rom will use that cache partition, or your recovery. That's why it needs to be there.
Ok, but I suppose I could go down to 1 or 2mb, no?

Most roms use between 1-3MB of cache better to have slightly more

If you customise the rom to what you exactly need, then every MB makes a difference. Especially on JB.
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

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 )

What rom are you using?
What APP2SD script are you using?

If you are stuck in a bootloop, and don't know what to do, do following:

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.

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

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

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+

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
