ZendroKat: How to get it run WITHOUT needing an SD card... - Bada Software and Hacking General

How can ZendroKat be got run without needing an SD card? Even in NAND version, kernel is loaded from sd (maybe recovery, too) - how can everything be transfered to internal memory and run from there?

Impossible without modifying FOTA or partition table (need to rebuild kernel).
And you'll get no external storage, not sure android can run without external storage.

Uhhhh, this means there is not any "real" NAND version of Android for Samsung Wave??? What do I need a NAND ROM, if I need a SD card anyway? Do not understand that...

Full nand, nope, except if you change some lines of code, not a big deal but it need sources.
Loop rom (virtual partition on Nand), don't need sdcard (look at Badadroid.)

Does this loop ROM need Bada? Or is it independent?

Yes, it need bada 2. But, its dual boot, so you can run both android and bada side by side.

In fact, it don't really "need" bada (at least what is in nand), but it just need bada partition layout. You can install badadroid if your nand is formated with 3 fat partition, like in bada, you can also install it with any partition scheme if you change some lines of code in kernel. (It doesn't improve anything but you can have badadroid without bada on your phone, useless i know )

But, I think it is much better to have bada 2 as well, because the alpha android ROMS are not optimised to be daily drivers and hence it is much better to have dual boot. Dont you agree? SD Roms and Badroid are really cool for that reason.

Android is ready for daily use except it has crappy battery life. But it's of course better to have bada as a backup system.
You can have badadroid only but it's (almost) pointless.

True, the battery life is very poor, and installing apps takes ages!

ICZen SD, Badadroid v4.4 and Bada Turko v10.2. Maybe i'll try android 4.4.3 rom by nima.yavari (it's badadroid based)

I thought ICZen SD and Badadroid v4.4 did not have compatible FOTA and bootfiles with each other .

Bootfiles are the same, and Fota just change kernel location, default boot and key combination.

[Q] Can anyone do me a guide for Apps2sd

1/ Please could someone do me a guide, of how to setup my 8gb sd card.
2/ Whats apps i need from the Market store to run them
/
3/ A link if possible for the application for my HTC desire.
Just a little confused, i have a rooted phone, and stock / Market fixed rom
installed running froyo 2.2 (which is excellent. )
I would be very greatful.
Many Thanks
Sean
1: backup all data on the SDCards as it will be wiped
2: if it is not already in the ROM - install ROM Manager: http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/rom-manager_fjxs.html
3: use Rom Manager to partition the SDCard. (I use 'no swap' and 512MB EXT3)
4: put the data that you backed up in step 1 back on the SDCard
5: install a ROM that supports app2sd. All ROM cooks publish if whether their ROM supports apps2sc or apps2sd+
5: reinstall all your apps. They will now be installed on the SDCard until that runs out of space.
6: done.
I have rooted my htc desire with Goldcard, installed Involkd image for recovery
do i need to run any scripts or anything to get the apps2sd to work, i currently have Market fixed rom installed, as like to keep it as close to the org rom as possible,
So if the apps2ds is not installed with the rom were can i download this from, please you give me a link,? so i can flash this to the phone. also how do i use that rom manager, what is no (Swap)
Many Thanks for the help.

No. On booting the phone will link the memory on the SDCard to your internal memory, so the phone thinks it is loading all apps in internal memory, while it is actually stored on the SDCard.

This ROM does not support App2sd. If you want to stay close to the original AND use apps2sd, use a ROM like NextSense: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742371
tapperace2010 said:

On creating an extra partition on your SDCard, the Rom manager will ask what size the swap part needs to be (I used 0) and what size the EXT3 (I used 512).

No problem.
This Rom seems to be very unstable, i want a rom close to the org as possible, but also to include apps2sd, or a download for app2sd how to guide please.
I love the one i got, as its hardly been messed with, bloatware drives me crazy, if its
not broke do not fix it.
Thanks
Tapper
Has all the problems with Sense rom been fixed.
Is their anyway i can update the rom i have, with the Apps2ds added to it, or do it has to be embedded into the rom.?
Also when you say ext 2 3 4, do i need to format my sd card 1st. and if so how to format in the phone or by a program from the market, ie : what you suggested before.
Thanks

Just try them all. I used NextSense for a while (5.1) and for me it was very stable.
New ROMs come out every day, so just try a couple of them and see which work well for you.
At this moment I use WhiteXperience 2.0 which does not use sense, so I do not use Sense at this very moment. Btw.: WhiteXperience 2.0 is extremely fast with low batery use. For me this is more important than Sense.
With Rom Manager you can quickly create a full backup of your ROM with all the apps and data. So, create a full backup, install a new ROM, play with it for a few hours and either keep the new ROM or restore the old ROM.
This way you can quickly test a new ROM and see if it does what you need.

That is the reason I use WhiteXperience, since it is based on CyanogenMod 6.
But again it is not based on Sense, which is what you want.

I have not tried that. I have only tried ROMs that support Apps2sd.
But then again, just try it out: http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-appstosd2-qBx.aspx and let us know if this works for you.
However, since Froyo uses another way of storing apps in SD, you might end up with an unstable system.

After the partition has been created you end up with a formatted, empty SDCard. So no prior formatting is necessary.

I've tried most of them if not all and NexTSense 5.3 is by far the most stable and best Rom on here. It's almost as stock as they come with Apps2sd installed. I think the only app changed is google maps to the slightly better brut version.
Define unstable? Most roms require a clean wipe before installing.
I agree with sbdags. NextSense is absolutely stable and, if you want Sense, this Rom would be the best choice to try out.

[Q] What can I do with a rooted Desire?

Hi guys i am a COMPLETE NEWBIE to android rooting (recently sold my iPhone 4 and got a desire at a SUPER-DUPER bargain price lol) I've rooted with unrevoked but haven't had time to burn the alpharev to do the S-OFF etc.
What can I do with a bog standard stock ROM'd Desire?
Every reply appreciated...as said I really have no idea from here what I can customise etc.

Flash new ROMs
If you want Android 2.2 and Sense then try LeeDroid - very fast and very stable !
If you want to try Gingerbread before its officially released on the Desire then im finding GingerVillain excellent for day to day use
Rooting will allow certain apps more access..... and allow things like a nandroid backup.
Suggest you try ROM Manager from the market - will allow nandroid backup (ie a FULL backup of your phone in case you screw anything up). It also makes ROM flashing very easy
Apart from that.... "what can you do ?" ... try all the launchers and apps available .... LauncherPro is great, as are all the "GO" apps. Im on Launcher7 at the mo but have also tried SPB shell.
The great thing about android over apple is that you can tweak pretty much anything. try a new dialer or a new keyboard and you can always revert back to the original ...
Basically perform a nandroid backup and then play to your hearts content
.... oh ... and try the UOT Kitchen if you really want to play at customising .... looks scary at first but really isnt

hmmm. dont know with that particular ROM. I tend to download ROMs separately and the use ROM Manager to flash from SD
Try looking at the thread in the Android development subforum and it will tell you which does what. There are various flavours of app to SD solutions.
One more thing you might want to do is use ROM Manager to create an EXT partition on your SD card - this will allow apps to be stored there and save system memory. Backup anything vital on your SD card first (on your PC) though. And when it asks go for the largest partition you cam - you will fill it
(its the Partition SD Card option in ROM Manager)

hmmm. not seen that happen before. ive had the exclamation mark occasionally elsewhere (press power to get rid).
You could parition using GPARTED (if you are a linux user) or Parition Wizard (for Windows). a few people have problems with partition wizard but ive used it OK.
You an flash without partitioning but you lose some of the the benefits of App to SD apps.
Google 'android partition SD' - there seem to be lots of other ways to do this (which i havent tried)

Found a fix in a thread on here all i had to do was clear download cache and everything is working now...im currently downloading a rom...do I need to partion the sd card before using a custom rom or?
Just wipe/factory reset and clear cache in recovery.
Then flash the rom (install .zip from sd card)
If we talk about partitioning it depends on which ROM you wanna use.

Have you tried setcpu yet?
Also you can take screenshots of your phone screens if you're into that kinda thing.
Look for shoot me in the Market.
App2SD
If the InsertCoin ROM has Apps2SD+ (Not totally sure if it does) and you have the ext partition then as far as I am aware it should pretty much take care of itself.
I personally have found the Redux 1.1.1 ROM to be the best one that I have used so far. It is a GingerBread ROM and with the EXT partition done all you need to do is apply the apps_dalvik2ext-UNSIGNED
.zip to use the extra memory.
Search for Redux throug this site.
You will not regret the move.

Awake again now .....
download quick system info from the market. that should show you whether apps2sd is working.
you dont have to 'do anything' to get apps2sd working. if you have the right partition, and the ROM supports it, then apps will install there rather than on internal memory (although most apps still require a small amount of internal memory).

I dont care about updates, when updates come out, i usually do an RUU from the HTC website anyway. i never do OTA. I have my ROM i want to flash and its only 2GB in size, but after everything is said and done, when i look in storage, theres 12GB already used with nothing on the phone.

And have you already tried installing a rom and after that verifying whether you still "miss" 12 gb besides of the 12 gb that are then used by android and sense. I could imagine that fernandezhjr is right and that the 12 gb are simply allocated so that there is always enough free space to install a rom.

If i understand right, you flashed script without clean install (dev wrote in manual - Flash the script BEFORE the first boot) and it worked?????
I think, dev means "clean install" - That is probably because not all apps will work after flashing script on working ROM.
had problem with gapps...(forced closed) i restored my backup >_<
took to much time,so.. i give up for now. didnt want to try clean installation and install ART gapps

The "O" folder is an emulated partition used in the file management system of android...
Some roms and OS versions require this folder...so deleting it within a software that requires it would obviously be bad....g
