Can anybody help how should i flash darktremor app2sd script on touchwiz ics rom by Lawek .?
I cant seem to find a working solution.
Also i partitioned my sd card for a 256 mb sd-ext and it exists as i can format it frm cwm but no app can detect it in touchwiz rom. Why..?
My buzz specs :
S-OFF
Hboot version :6.01.1002

Hello !
I'm trying to load a custom ROM for the first time..
I followed LINKSLOVESANDROID's tut and got S-Off..
I want to try InsertCoin, but I saw this:
Requirements:
A2SD CM7 HBOOT - cm7 hboot from alpharev.nl - the one with 130 mB for /system
- 1 gB ext2/3/4 partition
A2SD+ STOCK HBOOT - stock hboot - the one with 250 mB for /system
- 1 gB ext2/3/4 partition
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I need to partition my SD .. I think I'll do ok at this part..
It means that I can choose from A2SD or A2SD+, right?
So.. I'm gonna choose A2SD+.. then I only need to download
Bravo Stock - 250M at alpharev.nl then follow the procedures from it ?
1) Nandroid backup in recovery.
2) Verify the MD5SUM of the file you downloaded against the one in the table.
3) Flash HBOOT with your phone in fastboot mode (Back+POWER) -> 'fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img' (change into the correct filename for the HBOOT you downloaded)
4) 'fastboot reboot-bootloader'
5) 'fastboot erase cache'
6) Boot recovery, wipe everything and restore.

Ehm.. the question is.. I need to flash the hboot BEFORE loading the InsertCoin, is that correct?
And the link to download MOD shows two versions.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016940
InsertCoin Sense 2.1 1.0.8 A2SD
InsertCoin Sense 2.1 1.0.8 CM7
Are they related to what I chose at the requirements earlier?
i.e. InsertCoin Sense 2.1 1.0.8 A2SD (Requirement: A2SD+ STOCK HBOOT)
InsertCoin Sense 2.1 1.0.8 CM7 (Requirement: A2SD CM7 HBOOT)
Lil bit confused..
Thanks in advance!!
This requirements mean, you can choose between two versions:
One version, if you have stock hboot, another version, if you have cm7 hboot.
I guess you have stock hboot. So you should download the one for stock hboot. No need to flash custom hboot.
The differences between a2sd and a2sd+ are the following:
a2sd: only apps will be moved on ext partition of sd card
a2sd+: apps and cache will be moved on ext partition of sd card
Ext4 is the fastest and as long as the rom supports it (what insertcoin does), i would recommend to use this partition.
But with searching the corresponding thread, you will find your answers. If still unsure, just ask the developer himself directly.
I recommend the cm7 hboot and a2sd solution with 1gb ext4. Far faster than the other

Dear All,
I have below questions , kindly answer them.
My Desire details.
Desire SLCD
ROM: Stock Froyo out of the box.
BRAVO PVT4 S-ON
HBOOT 0.93.0001
Root: unrevoked 3.21 + recovery
a] Found anwser....
I have rooted my device and have taken nandroid back-up using recovery.
b] If I restore my nadroid back-up
1] will it be in rooted state ?
2] will it flash hboot ? or only android system ?
c] Considering, I S-off using alhparev and flash one of Hboot from alpharev site
1] I can still go back to stock bravo hboot right ?
2] After I flash one of the hacked hboot and then try to restore a nandroid backup which was actually backed up when I had stock hboot(or any other hboot), which means partition size will be different , will it flash properly?
d] If I flash any RUU [ Including latest HTC GB RUU] , will it replace hboot also ?
e] Now if i flash any latest HTC STOCK GB based ROMs ( with hacked hboot)
1] Is My ROM still in rooted state ?
2] Can I still restore my nandroid backup straightaway which i had taken at very beginning when i had stock HBOOT ? or do i have to flash stock HBOOT first and then restore my backup ?
f] How many S-off metthods are available ? Please guide me to the tutorial for doing S-OFF [ im not able to find proper link]
g] I found that for flashing cm7 r2 hboot cm7 hboot is required but in alpharev site i din find cm7 hboot, though i found it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16090990&postcount=3879, do I really need to flash cm7 hboot first and then cm7 rc2 ?
I am planing to flash my first Custom ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016940. So final question
The above ROM requires
A2SD CM7 HBOOT - cm7 hboot from alpharev.nl - the one with 130 mB for /system - 1 gB ext2/3/4 partition
A2SD+ STOCK HBOOT - stock hboot - the one with 250 mB for /system - 1 gB ext2/3/4 partition
what do you mean by A2SD or A2SD+ here ? Are they same Hboot which r listed in alpharev.nl ?
Hope i will get answers for my questions
Thanks in advance...
I think that you should wait to s-off until you have the basics sorted
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805247

Thanks.. Im going to do S-OFF using alpharev virtual machine.. ill post back once done .
Next i will try to flash cm7 hboot using SD card technique or using android flasher
Thanks
I would advise against using virtual machine unless you are experienced with it .... You get connectivity issues between VM and usb... which interupts the process.... there is an option but I cannot for the life of me remember it!! It basically stops you having to constantly reconnect usb if that helps lol
CD is better
Dear All,
Thanks for all ur help
Did S-OFF using alpharev on VMWare machine
Flashed CM7 HBOOT using fastboot ( Android Flasher )
Flashed [ROM][01/08][STABLE][Sense2.1+3.0 GB]InsertCoin CM7 HBOOT
TESTING ...
observing some issues SMS.. while typing some time it automatically get saved as draft.. Well ill report this in ROM thread
Thanks
Though i have sucesfully, Rooted, S-SOFF, installed HBOOT C7 and flashed insertcoin ROM.. i wanted to clarify few things...
In insertcoin They have mentioned below requirement.
A2SD CM7 HBOOT - cm7 hboot from alpharev.nl - the one with 130 mB for /system - 1 gB ext2/3/4 partition
A2SD+ STOCK HBOOT - stock hboot - the one with 250 mB for /system - 1 gB ext2/3/4 partition
a] I am aware of A2SD application which is used to move installed applications from phone memory to SD card memory. I am also aware of HBOOTS CM7, CM7r2, STOCK etc... But what do you mean by A2SD CM7 HBOOT or A2SD+ STOCK HBOOT here ?
b] I have formatted my 2GB SD card as 1GB Ext4 and remaining FAT32. But i just wanted to know
1] Who will be using this 1GB Ext4 partition ?
2] If we install A2SD application and move apps to SD card , are they going to be stored in EXT4 partition or FAT32 partition?
3] Can we read EXT4 partition contents in phone using any file explorer ?
4] Finally, why cant we use EXT4 partition alone if it has more advantage ?
I have flashed ROM.. but i just wanted to improve Knowledge
Thanks

Hi,
Sday I got S-OFF & rooted my Desire with Revolutionary and flashed my first custom ROM Insertcoin 1.1.1.
But after installing the ROM, I have only 40 MB internal memory..
I have done the partition of my SD card with ext3 (512MB).
Am I doing something wrong ??? Can anybody please help what should I do to increase my internal memory...
It's recommended that the EXT size for Insertcoin is 1GB.
Are you using A2SD or CM7 version of the ROM?
I am using CM7 version have 50 apps installed and still have 100MB left.
I am using CM7 version of ROM. Can I change the partition again to 1 GB from 512 MB ?
Also my HBOOT version is 6.93.0.0.1

Yes you can change the partition but you'll likely lose all data on your SD card in the process so make a backup first of your SD card's contents before repartitioning.
You also need to use CM7r2 partition table for your HBoot.
OK. I will take back up then I will repartition to 1 GB.
Can you please tell me, how to change my partition table of HBoot to CM7r2.
Do I need to use Downgrader image first and then flash with CM7r2 image ?

As far as I know, if you just rooted and is still on Bravo Stock partition, you do not need to flash the downgrader. But if you are already on any HBOOT and would want to change, then that's the time you flash the downgrader before flashing your new partition table.
I suggest you check out some threads here first just to be sure since I haven't changed to any other partition yet since I flashed CM7r2. So I have no first hand experience with the downgrader process.
EDIT: Since you used Revolutionary, they might have implemented different security so you may need to flash the Downgrader. Sorry I am not that knowledgeable since I've used Unrevoked when I flashed my device.

You can either use GParted on your computer or your phone's custom recovery to partition your SD card. Most users here I notice recommends GParted. I however partitioned mine via recovery.
I Just formatted and partitioned my SD card with recovery to 1GB. Then I installed A2SD version of Insertcoin 1.1.1 since I have stock HBOOT. Now everything works fine.. Now I have 135 MB free space

Is it so simple? I've had the same issue...till now
I tried using this ROM and even partitoned my SD card for stock HBoot. I had the following configuration : A2SD+ STOCK HBOOT - stock hboot - the one with 250 mB for /system
- 1 gB ext4 partition
When i tried "a2sd check" or "a2sd install" or any a2sd command, it says a2sd not found. M currently using MIUI and everything works perfectly ....
Just that i wanted to try out some sense roms. Also tried flashing DarkTremor's A2SD script but then it stuck on splash screen.
Can anyone plz let me know how can i basically achieve A2SD on this ROM and run the above commands either through Terminal Emulator or through shell. A pointer to a step by step giude would be awesome[Noob alert]
TIA
maybe the rom you are trying does not support ext4? have you checked that?
btw hboot does have nothing to do with your sd card
Yes it supports ext 4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016940
So can any1 plz give a me solution on this?
You don't need to do any A2SD+ commands or anything as a prerequisite for Insertcoin. All you have to do is make sure you download the right ROM for your HBOOT, partition 1GB EXT4. Full wipe and flash the rom. The rom itself will take care of moving stuff to the EXT during installation.
Hope this helps in any way.
Hello, today I was completely fed up of my Runny Rom (v6 without kernel choices)
I went to my Bootloader (CM7 R2 from alpharev, always used that after stock, never changed)
and went in the 4EXT Touch Recovery, I don't even know how i get that thing there...
well the fact is that I tried to install several sense 2.1 roms but the installation was unsuccessful: the screens locks at the "why so serious?"
I tried some including the Supernova, AceS v1.4 and even BravoS v10 (even if i'm not sure it's for cm7).
Of course before every installation I made a complete wipe and i have the (+-)1GB ext4 partition
I also tried to check and clear the file systems in the sd and format the ext4.
Now I've reloaded the Runny Rom and he's bootanimation is spinning... magically...
This sense 3.5 doesn't give me enough speed that I now require travelling in the car.
oh, and before with runny 4ext trowed to me some errors regarding no memory space for the log...
Tank you
Sounds like either the Roms you've tried to flash won't fit in CMr2 hboot, or a problem with the sd-ext partition if its not being recognised (or size of it maybe). Never used these but presume you have checked the threads for hboot and Ext partition sizes?
If they're compatible either re-partition Ext using Gparted, or check what version of 4Ext recovery you're on as there was a version that had an issue with Sys formats I think - so try update to latest version.

i used runny rom on cm7r2 hboot and using 4ext recovery, never a problem. lots of internal memory. so i would say repartition sdcard 1gb ext4 no swap and install the rom. also try looking at Droidzone site for kernels coz i can think of 5 different kernels for runny rom, runnymede etc etc
