It's not safe to allow access to the data2sd partition from linux, so we have disabled it in our scripts..

I have no new suggestion to offer you if it doesn't work. Try starburst classic and see if out works..it makes some logs which may help understand..

Though I'm busy atm and will not be around to interpret logs..

upgrade

i already run SuperNova on my mobile, the one with camera problem. How do i UPGRADE without the need of backup/restore ?

(usually i was wiping my whole phone and using titanium to restore).
[Desire Android Development] vietnam123:
I have a problem with SD Card when I flash SuperNova.

Before update, I had a SD Card wịth ext4, install Startbust.

These are the process I did:

1. Copy flash ROM to SD Card.

2. Backup ápps by Titanium to SD Card.

3. Backup Nand to SD Card.

4. Wipe all data

5. Flash ROM.

6. Reboot & setting Language, Wifi.

7. Wait to stable.

8. Reboot to Recovery.

9. Can't flash by SD Card because HTC Desire doesn't recognize the SD Card.

Can't mount the SD Card.

That is my problem!

10. Reboot.

11. Open File Expert, it report that SD Card need format.

Oh my god, my backup! I don't copy data in SD Card to my PC.

Aftersock, I have to install a new devĩce.

12. Reboot to Recovery.

13. Format SD Card, make it ext 4.

14. Copy flash ROM to SD Card again.

15. Flash this Data2SDInstaller_notheme_X12E_GB download from

http://www.droidzone.in/roms/SuperNova/Data2SDInstaller_notheme_X12E_GB.zip

But it's bad. Download again not resolve.

Replace by this Data2sd Installer with Theme (155) http://www.droidzone.in/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=8/

It's OK.

16. Reboot and install new apps.

Does it matter hboot version? I have hboot-0.80 and s-on.
[Desire Android Development] Iceberger:
Install it once again, without wiping anything (Dalvik, Cache or Data/factory) and right after that, before rebooting it, install the Data2SReInstallerX12E with or without the theme.

AND ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE HANDS!

Hi droidzone

I am new to this thread n i followed all instructions correctly

in my 8gb card Fat32+1.5gb(ext4) partitions using gparted

But after installation i checked my Sd card size n there's only 43 mb in internal

i tried ext3(1gb) too same thing happened

What am i doing wrong

how do i Enable Data2SD
[Desire Android Development] shankly1985:
You have to reboot back into recovery and install the data2SD installer.

Turn off fast boot in settings I couldn't get back into recovery with that switched on.

[Desire Android Development] Shapanor:
Have installed Google Voice Actions from here http://www.google.co.uk/intl/en_uk/mobile/voice-actions/ and tested OK. This is however the version that has to have your phone set to English. Google updated the app recently to add more languages but originally i had to set my phone to English American to get it to work properly.

Not sure if this helps but could be a region specific error.
[Desire Android Development] Naproxeno:
Yes, you're right. I learned that adb had that command after I flashed the old ROM back. If I have time I will try again later.

You can reboot the phone by plugging it in to the computer and running:

adb reboot recovery

I discovered that it works even if the phone don't boot completely (yes, I'm a noob in adb). Much easier than removing the battery. :)

By the way, in case someone has the same problem, I set the readahead buffer to 128, the value I think the previous Data2SD script used. In my experience, even reverting back to SuperNova 2.0.2.0 didn't completely eliminate the lag and momentary freezes. It seems that for my particular microSD card, 128 KBs. is a much, much better value for readahead than 2048 KBs. I think is worth a try if you have lag using SuperNova. I can write some instructions if someone is interested.
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Well. Not really good on my phone. It got stuck right after data2sd script, looping on network setting (iptables).

gonna try with a dalvik wipe...

EDIT: wipe -> reboot -> fail -> restored old stock GB lib

[Desire Android Development] Naproxeno:
Thanks for the information. I'm trying to use the new version because although I'm not sure what improvements it has I think it would be better than the old one.

You're probably right in that this is a bit over my head but I'm quite stubborn and won't give up so easily. :p Or at least, until you run out of patience. :)

Thing is, I have a degree in Computer Science and I'm a full-time Linux user, so it's not that tinkering with kernels and computers scare me. On the other hand, I've never messed with Android and its ROMs, so I'm taking this as an opportunity to learn. Also, as I don't know what kernels future SuperNova versions will be based on, it's important for me to learn how to make them work with this kernel, which is perfect for my phone and card combination.

I'm curious. The reason why I have to copy those modules is because in my hybrid there is a kernel version mismatch, isn't it?

I'll be back! :p

After one day testing with 6th and 5th kernel with adjusted SVS levels and now over 50 test phone calls, there has not been any freeze or big lag at all! Furthermore no more lag at unlocking my phone! Everything runs smooth now and i am very happy with it. Hopefully there wont be any other problems but at the moment it is very nice!

If my device goes through the week without any problems i will donate. Thanks to Droidzone and Sibere for your kind help and patience to give some hints on how to solve my problems with the ROM. Your ROM really rocks! :)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It is automatically created in /cache after flashing anything via recovery.

Naproxeno, I take back my comment. If u know Linux, you already know android.

As sibere said, old kernel is a patch into official leaked closed source kernel. It has no ext4 support, so we need to insmod modules. I've already done it in init.rc of old rom, hence I asked u to use its ramdisk as part of boot.img.

Off to sleep. Long day ahead.. I'm moving, so lots of packing to do.. will be glad to go back home..

Edit - I did not wipe cache and dalvik cache as I'm scared that it would mess up the data2sd.

A non htc-sense rom + DATA2SD

hi droidzone..

is it worth 2 build a rom with no htc sense with DATA2SD?

I am currently using Supernova 2.0.2.0 and i love it...the only problem is that i cant multitask on it because of which i get many lags..

When i check the available memory, it shows around 75-89 out of 403 MB

I guess most of the memory is taken by Htc Sense..removing that we can save some another 80-100 mb

(The only feature I like from sense is Facebook for Htc Sense)

I recently flashed Supernova and I partitioned my SD card to have 5GB for ext4. I have a class 4 16GB sandisk card and its working fine without lag. I've had 2 or 3 freezes when running apps but nothing serious but for 1 or 2 issues with sense flickering or hesitating. I just tried to flash the stability update but got the message update aborted. Is there anything specific I need to do to install the update.

PS Do I need to do anything with the hashfile
[Desire Android Development] bob1369:
sorry if I'm missing something but why would my class 4 not 10 as mentioned in the op be incompatible it's certainly compatible with the desire has been for a year now.

Success! With the modules from the old version everything works as expected.

Do you think I should upload this hybrid ROM somewhere for others to use? In my case, the old kernel and 128 KBs for readahead makes the ROM supersmooth.

Thanks for your help Droidzone and sibere!

Nope. The old ROM is already available in the site, with all necessary flashable addons in the site. If the addons are flashed, it becomes equal to new ROM. Also I prefer having all the eggs in one basket.. ;)

Hi,

first big thanks to Droidzone and Sibere :)

I have experienced some lag and occasional reboots during the time I've used this rom (over a month now). Reboots have been so random and few that I cannot say if they have been fixed with my current configuration.

So today I tried to fix lags by flashing dalvikoptimizer, speedboost, GB_batt_Wifi_LS_VDD_TW_2WC kernel and again dalvikoptimizer for a second time.

Don't know why I chose to do this, but now most of the lag has gone away. I had the speedboost and the kernel before, but flashed them again. I had not flashed the dalvikoptimizer.

So hope that this is a lasting situation.

Another question: "SuperNova AutoBrightness LightSensor Fix" won't work with this old snq- kernel, will it?

Thanks for the Supernova rom, i have installed it on my HTC desire, SLCD, PVT4, Official GB RUU. I liked the original GB but lack of user memory lead me to custom roms. The video playback is laggy and sometimes jerky. I have installed following patches after installing the supernova

1-GB_BattFix_DZ.zip

2-GB_batt_Wifi_LS_VDD_TW_2WC.zip

3-QuickSettingsv2.zip

4-GB_Batt_WifiFast_LS_VDD_TW_2WC_GPU.zip

So far i am facing two issues;

1- Whenever i try to download/ install any application from the market, i receive an error that "download of "application name" was unsuccessful". I cleared data/ cache of market and download manager as a solution suggested on internet but no success. I also cleared cache of google applications, and tried fastboot on and off in settings, applications but still no success :(.

2- My cell turns completely off from standby and does not turn on by power button until i pull the battery off and then on again. (i observed it when my battery was 90% charged, when 56% charged and when 48% charged and when i turn it on again, battery % still there when it was last on standby, i mean not drained out).

Thanks in advance for help.

edit 1: My cell was factory s-off and i flashed alpharev custom hboot and amon-ra 2.1 (thanx to rootSU, mortenmhp and this forum).

edit 2: Initially i installed many applications from market soon after flashing this rom, but after 1 or 2 days, problem arose. Even now sometimes an application is installed after continuous retries. Sometimes applications just download and do not install (without any type of error display)
