...it wl be greatly appreciated......
.. thanks in advance..
insertcoin 2.0.1 hd rom, very stable, been running it since it was released without a single problem.
easy to setup your sdcard for it.
use mini tool partition wizard
http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html
large fat32 partition using all your space bar 1.4gb
1gb primary ext3 partition
300mb primary ext3 partition
100mb linux swap partition
Then flash your rom
simples
thanks mate..!!!
Tried to reply to your pm but its not working for some reason..
but heres what i was trying to send..
if you have set it up as stated and it has .94gb of internal memory then its already working fine..
The scripts are already within the rom and it sets up the data2ext on the first boot.
if you want more internal memory than that you need to make a bigger 1st ext partition than 1gb to start with, but its not recommended, and 1gb should be more than enough for app storage, i have like 300 apps and still 300mb free space.
All apps installed are sutomatically installed on the ext partition from first boot
I would recommend Redux as your ROM.
It is fast, stable and I have not had a single issue with it.
All of the info you need on App2SD+ is available through this webiste, but you are going to have to read a fair amount of information (some conflicting) to work out what is best for you.
I would watch the video tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084
Always do a Nandroid backup (boot from recovery, backup) before flashing, especially between different ROMs (I even do it between releases of Redux just to be safe).
Cheers
If you haven't chosen already you should consider going with an RCMixHD rom or perhaps SupeROM HD
There are no best ROM for Desire.
Every ROM has its limitation and good side.
Try them one by one and decide. I know this will take longer but this is the best way.
Info:
I am using InsertCoin 2.0.1 Data2Ext and have been using InsertCoin since it was still called Baadnewz 1.3.
Before that, I have been using LeeDroids, RCmixHD, RCs Z, DeFrost, and one of the MIUI (I don't like MIUI)...InsertCoin is the best for me after trying those ROMs.
Same for me here, InsertCoin is very fast (try Data++), stable and reliable. I've been using it for months now after trying out over a dozen roms.....
But as already stated, there is no such thing as a 'best' rom. Everybody has a different taste, invest some time an find your favorite.
RCMixHD gets my vote
i think RcMixHD is the best Rom.
I use it since 2MOnth and had no Problems until now.

That's the only truth
Try many and give yourself what you like
For me, Oxygen is the best 1
As a newbie I've tried a few out, and just put leedroid 2.4 on and will hopefully be sticking with it.
I was just after more space really (and improved battery would be a bonus). I tried StarBurst as it seemed the best for space and it was great for a couple of days, but then it rebooted randomly and just about everything I tried to run FC'd. As far as I could tell it was something to do with Data2SD not being stable enough and due to my limited skills I had to abandon it.
To sum up, as a newbie I found I was best off sticking with the tried and tested ones that use A2SD as they're more stable. Also tried Teppics which was good until I started playing with things I didn't understand (Kernels) and broke it!
Just my 2p worth as a beginner!
Miui 1.4.1 for the moment the best rom out there
After i rooted i have tried many roms
but after a more then a half year with leedroids rom without any problem i would suggest it.
It has decent speed is very stable and sensebased if you prefer it
Try some roms and see which is the best for you.
If you make a nandroid backup you can switch very fast back
So far, I've only used AOSP ROMs (DevNull and Oxygen) since I rooted my phone. Personally, I like it better because I like simplicity, and the idea of a stock ROM appealed to me.
But there seems to be a problem with AOSP ROMs, the call delay issue. Although people say they hardly notice it, I get 3-4 seconds delay every time and I find myself going like "Yes. Hello. Hello? Are you there?" every time I answer a call. I've heard that the problem is AOSP-specific, because of some libs Google uses, and that HTC use their own libs which do not present this issue.
So yesterday I backed everything up and got ready to try LeeDroid. But after installation, I could not get the ROM to boot nor the SD card to mount. I eventually fixed the problem by repartitioning the SD card, and I'm now running DevNull. I'd also like to mention that I'm S-OFFed, was running CWM 3.1.0.1 and had the Oxygen HBOOT before installing the Stock one back.
Now, I'd like to know how I am supposed to correctly switch to a Sense ROM coming from an AOSP one, as well as some opinion as to which is the cleanest, reasonably fast Sense ROM available out there. Perhaps some thoughts on kernels, too.
Thanks in advance!
I am on RcmixS 1.6.2 at the moment and working well.
Do full wipethen flash the rom, that is it. Enjoy.
I did perform a full wipe before installing.
What version are you trying to install? At the start the GB version didn't like the newer versions of CWM, also hboot versions were an issue too. I haven't really been keeping up because I went back to 2.4.1 till an actual GB release. Check it out those might be causing you trouble.

I've downloaded InsertCoin and I plan on installing it later today, as now I've got some stuff to finish. If it doesn't work, I'll try downgrading CWM. Thanks!
You need to use the stock 250MB HBOOT - obviously a Sense-based ROM is too large for the Oxygen one

Try AuraxTSense, i have been back and forth between most of the Sense ROMS & this is the one i come back too.
ALWAYS
I've given InsertCoin a try yesterday, but I didn't like it as it was way too laggy (as in I usually had to touch something twice for anything to happen).
I think I'm going to try each one today and see what I'll end up using. I'll post my opinions here.
@EddyOS I did use the stock HBOOT with LeeDroid, but I downloaded the CM7 version of InsertCoin.
@3f1f37 I'll give it a try, thanks!

???
laggy? twice touching ?
Are you trying to touch things during the first minutes of the first boot after flashing??
Let the ROM settle about 5-10 mins after first boot, your phone will be blazing fast afterwards.
InsertCoin 1.0.7 CM7 (Gongerbread; Sense 2.1 + 3.0; 130MB) is one of the fastest and the most stable Sense ROMs currently available,I use it also.

I too felt it was very laggy. CM7 version, with CM7 hboot, 1GBext. even the typing was bad, had to retype messages because it would start to lag out and miss letters
i dont know what i could have done wrong to get such a horrible experience. maybe you can enlighten me?
@aaa I've overall had a laggy experience even one day after installing it.
@ringer13 what ROM have you eventually settled to? Thanks!
I'm currently trying CoolD, or something like that, because the ZIP only has 144 MB. I also tried installing HiApk (it has 138 MB), but the download was damaged or something, it didn't pass the verification process in Amon_RA 2. But I will redownload it if I'm dissatisfied with CoolD.

cyanogenmod7 ive found most gb sense roms way too laggy so went with aosp
I'll have to agree with that. My HiApk ZIP was corrupted and after booting CoolD, all I got was Force Close for all the apps, including the launcher.
I didn't bother anymore, so I went on and installed Oxygen 2.1.3. It works like a charm.
Well it is true that u have to sacrifice speed, but the benefits from the sense are worthing the less smooth response, and mostly it is hardly noticeable...
Sent from my HTC Desire
I know the speed comparison of AOSP and Sense, I have used both.
The only thing I have not used is MIUI...saw it on youtube, and hate it right away...
I know AOSP is always faster than Sense but Sense in generally especially InsertCoin is not so bad so that you had to touch things twice before getting any response.
Moreover, InsertCoin is one of the fastest Sense ROMs you can find.
If you had to touch everything twice until you got any response from your phone, check if you have massive processes on the background caused by any other apps/syncs or some problems with your SD card.
Hi to all,
Since i've updated my Arc S to ICS 4.0.4 (official update), it keeps freezing all the time and sometimes i have to remove the battery and switch it back on. This happens also after a full wipe. I also unlocked the bootloader and flashed the DoomKernel and JJ's Hybrid Rom and now my Arc s goes fantastic smooth but still it keeps freezing. Basically when i'm using it blocks and wont unfreeze. This does not happen with Gingerbread..
Is this a kernel related problem? What should i do? I've already wiped and format my phone many times with no result. ICS in general presents this issue...should i try an other ROM or Kernel? Underclock my processor? Any ideas? It's really frustrating
I would suspect it's kernel related, DoomLord has yet to update his kernel for 431. I've not had one freeze on stock ICS with ArcKnight kernel.

ok i'll try to flash ArcKnight kernel and see what happens, i'll post if i can fix
Ok, i've been using Arcknight kernel for 2 days, it's not as smooth as DoomKernel but at least hasn't freez yet. Is there any way to improve my Arc S performance?

You could try to remove Sony bloatware. Use 'Es file explorer' for example to create a folder in your SD Card, get into Apps folder, inside System folder, and select everything you don´t use and copy them to the folder you have created (just to have a backup in case you remove something the phone really needs). After copying, you can delete them from system folder.
After removing bloatware from my phone, which runs stock ics with stock kernel and with processor running between 133mhz to 1024 mhz, it runs a lot better and battery always lasts from 24 to 48 hours with no freezes and no restarts. (I have had some problems long ago with dolphin browser always closing due to low ram in my phone, but nowadays I use boat or stock browser and usually watch for my phone´s memory through Es Task Killer)
Also, enter into 'leds' folder in your system and edit it so the backlight buttons won´t turn on. That saves even more juice in your phone.
Don´t be perfeccionist with your phone. As the time goes passing, surely it´s going to become weaker to new software releases.
And no way ICS is going to run smoother than Gingerbread, but no way also Gingerbread will have all the ornaments ICS has.
Remember: I´m not telling you what to do with your phone, I´m just suggesting that with a little bit of curiosity and customization (and not necessarily unlocking bootloaders or flashing other roms) you can make things work closer to the way you expect your phone to.
The best advice someone could give you here is: search! (hehe) The more you read, the more you´ll know.
Best regards...

i had the same prb even i lost the rotation of my arc s plz help us
Hello there everybody,
I've been searching for a new Android phone under £200 for the past few days and I stumbled across the HTC One V and it seems like a good upgrade from my OSF2 but I just have a few questions before I decide on ordering it in a few weeks time.
I'll be buying it from ASDA online for only £179 sim-free which seems to be a pretty good deal so I'm just wondering what to expect (in terms of quality of the design etc) from the device when compared to the lower budget phones I've purchased in the past- Samsung Galaxy Europa I5500 and the Orange San Francisco II (OSF2).
I'll be rooting/installing custom recovery and ROMs as soon as I'm comfortable with the device (Which will probably be within a few days) so I understand the toolkit is a pretty easy-to-use tool but I'm wondering which Custom Recovery is the best/most reliable for the HTC One V, on my past devices I've always used Clockworkmod but if the other recoveries are better for the One V then I'll be sure to flash the most compatible/reliable recovery.
Which Custom ROMs are fully working and also is there any ROMs that are fully working and have the stock ICS/JB appearance as I'm not really a fan of the actual appearance of HTC devices although I could learn to love it I guess! So which ROMs would you guys recommend for a fully working/stable daily use device and is there any fully working stable Jelly Bean ROMs?
Finally, I noticed a thread about the HTC One V having a nag for getting bricked easily, some of the things were ridiculous such as holding a certain button combination and when the battery is low it will die and not turn back on. Just wondering if it's a major issue.
Thanks for the taking the time to read this.
Curtis.
EDIT-
I forgot to ask;
Does A2SD scripts + A2SDGUI work on this device? I like to move my Dalvik Cache to my 16gb class10 SD so it'd be nice if it works and how do I know which type of device my phone is as I heard there's something about an International version and a Virgin version (Primou or something like that? I'm completely lost) And finally; what's a stable over-clock for this device? My current phone is 800mhz but is overclocked to 122-902mhz with no issues, just wondering what kinda speed I can boost the One V up to.
Thanks again.
Bump!
Quite eager to get an answer before I purchase!
I can help a little
There are two recoveries for the one v
TWRP 2.3.1 and CWM 6.0.1
If you are Europe you will get the PrimoU (primo means one U probably means international) it is GSM
The PrimoC is the CDMA version now with its own forum so GSM is under android dev and CDMA is under CDMA dev.
I reccomend the TWRP recovery because I love having a touch screen recovery.
OC and UV settings:
OC'ing: 345min - 1200 or 1500 Max
UV'ing: 245min - 768 or 1024max
Always make nand backups before flashing. Read the directions multiple times. And grab the RUU for your carrier / country if you screw your phone over past restoring a nand backup.
On topic for ROMS bro you are covered. The primoU has everything from Cm9, cm10, aokp, miui, sense ROMs, to PAC man. Your never short of stability either.
The one weird thing to HTCs is you have to flash the kernel from the ROM .zip file (boot.IMG) to get the phone to boot after all that junk
So the process from recovery would be:
-wipe system (factory reset)
-wipe dalvik
Then boot into boot loader
Grab a kernel flasher script (somewhere in forums)
Grab the boot.IMG and use the script and flash it
THEN you can boot into the ROM
I love my one v CDMA sometimes it can be weird but I love it

Thanks for the reply, helped a lot!
For flashing there is no need of any script. You can just use fastvoot flash boot boot.img....
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app
Can anyone verify if a2sd scripts and A2SDGUI are comparable with this device? I like to move my dalvik cache to SD to save space for plenty of apps. Also does the 1ghz processor struggle with playing games like Temple Run? Finally, can you replace the original stock Sense launcher to something like Apex Launcher from the PlayStore (Probably a stupid question but just want to know if Sense locks things down like that).
Thanks
My sis has wfs (marvel) that had stock rom for the last ywar and began to rub v slow lately (19mb memory freee;(( ). So i unlocked it and rooted (s-off). Then begun to load different cuctom roms. Most of these show 150mb free ram straight after install and run smooth. However 10 minutes after syncing with apps from google account Im left with 20-40mb of free mem and phone is sooooo slow 15 minutes after reinstalling brand new rom. Of course full wipe, clean cash, dalvik cache is applied before update.
Why is this happening? Dont get me wrong, its not like im installing 100+ apps. Theres literally NO apps on this phone except whatsapp and two other 10megs apps. Thats it. Theres not even fb app on this phone.
Why roms that have description as 'lighting fast' 'superb smooth' etc are so painfully slow and bugged? My sister already asked me to get the phone back to original settings. So I have downloaded stock rom and am ready to get back to original rom. But am I missing here something?
I thought the whole point of instlaling custom roms was to get the whole new speedy and smooth experience with the phone. After what I experienced in last few days is far from it;(
Any ideas? Is it because I should format SD card and use link2sd and similar soft?
Roms tried so far:
[ROM][AROMA][JB]Marvellous CM10[BUGFREE][STABLE][SMOOTH][22-07-2013]

BUMP!
My wife has a similar problem on her wfS. I have also tried several roms but they inevitably end up with low memory I have found you can manage this by removing unwanted apps and system apps and regularly clearing the cache and clearing the data every so often for some apps. I found facebook was a big offender for having a large data pool (40+mb) so clearing that helps in the short term.
If any one knows of a good way to free up memory on the wildfire s please share because I have yet to find a suitable long term option for this.
wfs so slow
hey guys,
give a try to cronmod int2ext+.
it s a script.
u need partition u r sdcard first.
then download and flash the cron mod int2ext+.
flash it using cwm recovery.
goodluck.
dont't forget to reply me after trying it
try aopk, fast & smooth!

keep it slim
I'd also recommend using INT2EXT scripts as mentioned above but make sure that the ROM works with it.
also if you want to keep as much memory free as possible search around for slim or slimmed ROMs as they are generally much smaller than the regular ROMs. they do have less bloatware so you MAY have to install a couple things you like if they're not included but I personally think they're fantastic. just find the one that's right for you.
heres a few links to get you started;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2068879 - the slim ROM series from thehacka1. a good place to start.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2315788 - another great slimmed ROM I was using for a while.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2380334 - this is what I'm currently running and very impressed with.
have a go at these and see what you think. different strokes for different folks but they may be what you're after :fingers-crossed:
EDIT: oh, also depending on what you use you can also install slim gapps that take up much less space, like this one;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265564
takes up 10mb rather than 63mb. also a little more info about slim ROMs.
