[Q] ROM without A2SD+/A2SD

Hi Everyone, i've just root my desire and would like to flash a new ROM for fun.
Most of ROM i found are having A2SD/A2SD+/A2EXT and i know it means that it allow installing apps to SD-ext.
But actually i don't want to create ext on my sd card. in other word, i would like to install all the stuff on internal rom only(include other apps)
Can anyone help to find a suitable Sense3.0 ROM that have around 100MB free rom after flashing & without A2SD+/A2SD.
Thanks.

You have got everything wrong, you don't need an ext partition for apps2sd roms.
And to answer your other question, there is no sense 3 rom that doesn't need an ext partition, let alone one with free memory!

oh.....that means i have to create ext partition on my SD if i want a sense 3 rom.......
btw, can class 2/class 4 SD card used for ext partition?

4 is fine. 2 may struggle. Depends what's on ext. Apks are pretty much archives. Apps run from dalvik-cache so that should be fine

you said "Depends what's on ext", does it mean that i can decide what should be installed in ext

No. Just means I'm not familiar with these Roms so not sure what's on there usually system app and frameworks.
Try it. If it works on 2, fine. If not, get class 4

sorry that i have another question,
my desire doesn't have s-off, how can i choose a correct rom for it?

The most important of S-OFF is the changing Hboots. But you don't need another Hboot for any rom here. Or rather in general: You don't need S-OFF for any rom (as far as I know). So just choose the rom you want.

but there are so many versions in each particular ROM and i don't know which to choose
e.g. IncertCoin sense 2.1+3 --> CM7 HBoot / stock HBoot
Cool3D Sensation --> with different combination of partition
so, within each ROM, which version is suitable for me?
thanks

Stock hboot if you haven't changed it.

Hello friends
what the difference between Data++ and A2SD? Wich is better?

Data++ gives you a considerable amount more space for apps etc
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

They couldn't me more different.
Data++ is a,hboot that changes the size of the internal partitions.

[Q] EXT3 to EXT4

Hello there,
I'm with the rom RunnyMede AIO V2.2
And it seems that the A2SD++ will work only with EXT4, I mean, I have no idea what partition I have because I made it through the CWM Recovery 3.0 [and I realized if I did it through the Recovery, Chances 99% it EXT3]
and probably that's the problem appears to me that partition is not exist.
I was looking for a solution without doing re-partition because I afraid to do the entire section of the partitions on that program to run in Boot through Windows.
And I found something in one of the Roms with Sense 3.5 on the developers forum, download ZIP file named "Alignment_Cool_2".
According to creator of the rom there, this ZIP file installation via Recovry, who passes the partition from EXT3 to EXT4.
Now my question if it's reliable? If not, is there another way? If so is it requires reinstalling the rom or formatting the partition? Or just what I have to do is install it without having to do anything else?
Thank For Answer!

Hi, im using 4ext recovery and backed up my fat32 partition and after that i created a ext4 Partition with 1.4 gb behind the fat32
Works great for the a2sd+ option
Sent from my HTC Runnymede using XDA App

Should I have S-Off to install this recovery?

It is not required but it is always good to s-off the device. I made this with the stock hboot and did not have any Problem with that.

Anyway I did S-OFF and downloaded 4EXT Recovery, and now it's converting from EXT3 to EXT4, Thank you very much!

Ok. Hope that it works on your device too.

Yes it worked!
but I have another question ^^
I understood that I should install cm7r2 hboot to install XD2SDX script.
so...
1. Is XD2SDX Better than A2SD++?
2. Is it good to install cm7r2 Hboot? If it is, how can I do that? is this dangerous for my device?

I think you get more space to install apps with that Script. But i use stock hboot and the normal a2sd script. It seems more stable... and i have after 50 installed apps 50mb free. I think thats enough.

By using the search you will find out everything you need to know about hboots.

[Q] system full on rooted desire with 9g sd free.

desire rooted with s-off,I have changed the rom on my desire several times I am now on Cynogen 7, can any one help, I have approx 9g of my sd free but am continually getting can't upload system full. If I wipe my system data and cache, will I still be able to install rom from my sd card. Or is there a better way to do it?

What HBOOT are you on? If you /system partition is full then use a hboot with a larger /system partition.

Cheers forthe reply. My hboot is 256 how can I enlarge it.

By going S-OFF and flashing a hboot which gives you more space on /data.

first of all - what exactly are you trying to do??
when do you get this error??
and - when you switch roms you should do complete wipe - system, data, cache, ext - i guess you know that already
but 9gb sd space has nothing to do with system partition
and what rom are you trying to install?
i dont think most roms give problem with stock hboot

Flash a different HBoot mate , use cm7r2

Or you could just try Supernova and get 2 GB free

?? Whats that got to do with memory?

Maybe the OP wants to know how to set up a2sd?
1) Make an ext4 partition using gparted (and only gparted!)
2) Choose any of the a2sd scripts you like (use search to find them) and set them up according to the instructions in the corresponding thread
3) Enjoy plenty of space.

[Q] Problem with flashing RunnyMede roms.

Hi there,
I've been in the flashing scene for a while now.
And i've had a lot of roms for desire like:
- MIUI
- Supreme Desire
- CyanogenMod 7.
But i really want to get a Runnymede rom working on my desire.
My specs are:
DEVICE-> DESIRE(Bravo) PVT3 S-OFF AMOLED
RADIO-> 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
HBOOT-> ALPHAREV CM7/R2 93.1000
SDCARD -> Transcend 4gb class 6
and the rom i'm trying to run is:
ROM-> Runnymede AIO V5.x.x Special Edition - AD2SDX
And yes, i've a 2.5 gb fat32 partition, and a 1.5gb ext4 partition, nicely made with 4EXT recovery.
Also after flashing, i perform a full wipe.
So what the problem, can anybody give me a word of advice. it would be much appriciated ;D
[E]: omg, sorry, can a moderator replace this topic to the Q&A forum sector? i posted it accidently in the wrong sector.

Aren't you supposed to fully wipe BEFORE flashing a rom?

This. I wouldn't touch those with a poke, but as far as I can tell, they use sd-ext for sure for some vital parts of the rom - which get wiped by his broken flashing methods.

Yep that's true. If Im not mistaking, that's how they manage to virtually expand the internal memory, by using an sd-ext partition. Otherwise those Sense 3.x roms wouldn't fit in the Desire's internal memory. If you wipe your sd-ext after flashing your rom, it is to be expected that the rom won't boot, since you only got half of the rom installed

You have to do the full wipe before, not after.
I think it's like formatting a drive after you just installed windows... no wonder it won't start.

Well if that was really the case, then it completely contradicts with his first statement stating that has been "in a flashing scene for quite some time".

I fully wipe before flashing to a new rom. I see that I actually made a mistake in the OP.

you can partition your sdcard in CWM recovery..just !!dont forget!! to backup whole sdcard,cause it will be wiped
Sent from my Wildfire using XDA

Yes you sure can if you want to use app2sd script. As said above you can partition it through recovery. and as per this post you need the specific version for ics roms.
