Well that's interesting, no problem reading the card this time. I guess I screwed the format last time by somehow having the second partition (EXT4) as sdb1 and the FAT32 (first) as sdb2. Well it's restoring happily now.

I don't recall wiping the cache partition but I'll add this note to the guide as that's the first I've heard of it (I don't follow all posts on the forum).

Lets hope I didn't wipe it. About to find out!

Edit... maybe I did?? Booted fine, that's a good start, seems fast too, but no DATA2SD.. Maybe I should try restoring from Nandroid again, and then run data2sd reinstaller script before rebooting?

Edit - It seems factory resetting wipes /cache - oh well. I thought I had to wipe data / factory reset before restoring from Nandroid. I had a nasty experience once with not wiping data before re-installing, but that may have been to do with upgrading a ROM.

Edit - No matter what I do - the internal memory is still showing up as only 40MB or so.

I'm going to try reinstalling the ROM from scratch, and then restoring my data over the top of that.
[Desire Android Development] Tan01:
I think there is a small typo in the w11reinstaller script (mount command) in line 153:

it should read:

"/system/xbin/busybox mount -t ext4 -o loop,barrier=1,noatime,nodiratime,nosuid,nodev ,nobh,nouser_xattr,commit=1 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data"

and not:

/system/xbin/busybox mount -t ext4 -o loop,barrier=1,noatime,nodiratime,nosuid,nodev,nobh ,nouser_xattr,commit=1 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data

("nobh" and not "nob h")
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Cant comment on it, until I see my logs. You can get them with the flashable Getlogs
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Thanks! Fixed.. Wonder why the other 9 people who downloaded it didnt notice anything amiss!
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
You did NOT follow the guide.

the first command line you typed is wrong and it is important to use all parameters!

Do it again and FOLLOW WHAT IS WRITTEN.

[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
I have to start from scratch?? I seriously thought I carefully followed your guide to the letter. Honestly.

Either way I now have 900MB internal memory after running the DATA2SD install script (the ROM automated script didn't work, it never has for me, but I wonder if having fastboot not unticked was the issue in this case), so I'm sort of stuck with it for now.

I will go back and double check what you wrote against what I typed in, in an attempt to ascertain exactly what I did not type in correctly.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Come on, Droidbois.. You've been using SuperNova/StarBurst for a long time to not know that the automated script works only if you're S-off, and that S-on users need to flash the installer or reinstaller.. When I told you that you only need to reboot it, I was under the impression that your cache partition was intact. Since it wasnt, you definitely needed to use the installer or reinstaller. There is also the possiblity to execute the following command from adb and reboot:

mkdir /cache/log
echo "reinitialize DATA2SD" >/cache/log/data2sd.on
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
I know I know.. But it is a round about compliment to you and Siebre - I am generally so happy with the ROM that I very rarely touch it, so yes I have used it a long time, but very rarely have I needed to dive in to the 'back end' and I often forget what I did by the time I need to come back around, rarely if ever due to a problem with the ROM.

I didn't know the script only worked for S-OFF users but that's no big deal. Restoring data corrupted the ROM (error of inconsistent UID's and then it shat itself) so I'll have to install from scratch again anyway.

Will whatever command I typed in wrong before make much of a difference? I formatted the EXT4 partition at least according to instructions, and I presume that's the main thing.
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
What you'll find in my tutorial:

fdisk -H64 -S32 /dev/sde

what you typed:

fdisk /dev/sdb

Don't you see any difference appart from the device name?

Be careful H and S are case sensitive too.

No. wrong.

I calculate with 7072 sectors a remaining of 192.

7241728/131072=55,25

Rounded-up to the nearest = 56

56x131072=7340032

7340030-7241728=98304

98304/512=192

Logically (and per FAT32 standards too if i'm not mistaken), R cannot be above 256.

Anything above means you did something wrong when you did the calculation.
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Well... Honestly from what I read, you did not ;)

Unfortunately yes you'll have to start again from scratch.
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Argh, the ROM its ask fine now, so can I back this ROM up and then reinstall on to the newly formatted card? Just don't factory reset this time to maintain the cache partition?

If everything is saved, it should be OK.
[Desire Android Development] joannerve:
Sorry, but in your site this rom is only for donors. The free links are of another version, Classic 2.0.2.0 and the 2.0.1.1 MD5 hash file "link" (http://supernova.droidzone.in/roms/SuperNova/SuperNova_2.0.1.1.hash/) does not exist
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
For god sake!!!!

Why did you quote the all original post?!!
[Desire Android Development] joannerve:
Thats not the question
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
No, but that is my question.

If you're not smart enough to post without quoting a huge post like the OP, I understand why you didn't find the way to get the ROM.
[Desire Android Development] joannerve:
"I understand why you didn't find the way to get the ROM". A missing link. Only for donors. When you say it is free but the link is only for donors....perhaps it deserves to reproduce the post
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
I don't say anything, I'm not the ROM dev :)
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Maybe Google corrected the bug since in the last versions.

But anyway, 2GB should be more than enough to install tons of apps ;)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
The version is the same! I understand what happened. My site still shows 2.0.1.1 as the latest version. Due to the large number of production cycles and because of the fact that I have to update the site myself, occasionally old information is left as orphan entries on the site. But take note that the Rom given to everyone generally, and the link on the Donor page is both of the same version-namely 2.0.2.0.

As reiterated recently too, the only difference is that the Donor page provides the zip file hosted on my site, whereas the zip file for general users is hosted on Hotfile/Easyshare. I have to give my Donor friends at XDA something extra, right? The Roms have been free from version 0.1, are free, and will continue being free! Sorry for any misunderstandings about the issue.

I will also refund the donation amount immediately if you donated under a misunderstanding (mail me at the email address you used earlier today)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
To clarify, the script does work for S-on users. But, because of permissions issues (lack of permissions), the script cannot write to /system or use the binaries in su mode. Hence it cannot make fresh changes to the partition once the system is booted in, if S-on, and can be done only in recovery where user gets full permissions. The script can read information, load the /data from ext4, and even write logs normally regardless of s-off or s-on. So, the partition initialization can be done only from recovery if you're S-on (hence the data2sd installer/reinstaller), and can be done with a simple reboot if you're S-off
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
For you and me. yes. But I guess people are inherently greedy! :D
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
That's right :D

But I would say that 2GB gives you enough space for about 600 apps, including big ones like flash and a few big games.

That's enough to get lost on the app drawer ;)
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
No it doesn't! For the love of God! Please go back and edit your post, now!

Swyped from my Xoom
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Been doing some tests with the Sibere limit (as I call it). After perfectly aligning my partitions, it seems that even with 2500 MB of ext4, I'm getting a perfectly smooth, lag-free experience!
[Desire Android Development] blejky:
sorry for a stupid post but. Whit super nova moving apps to sd good thing or not?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Good or bad?
[Desire Android Development] blejky:
Not what I meant. I have super nova installed and runs great, I meant moving user apps to external or keeping them in internal memory. Using Titanium or any other similar app. Sorry for not making my self clear.
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Go read up on data2sd and then come back when you have.

Swyped from my Xoom
[Desire Android Development] booce:
I think he is asking if, once he has properly installed the rom, should he then use titanium to move all the apps to either "internal" memory or move them to sd.

Personally, I move mine to internal so that when I mount as disk drive, I can still use most of my apps.

Performance wise, I wouldn't expect much difference.

Hope that helps blejky.

Booce
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It might slow down things a bit, since every time an app is run, the app is accessed from fat

32, and dalvik from ext, then settings from nand. Theoretically at least, keeping them in one place should provide faster access.

I don't understand why one has to use fat 32, after having data2sd. If you want more space, increase the ext size. I now have around 2.5 GB for ext and have 1.5 free. After alignment, it's faster then ever
[Desire Android Development] booce:
I thought that by moving apps to the "internal" memory, we were in fact moving them to the ext partiton? Assuming a properly installed rom with data2sd running normally?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I was talking about choosing to move them to sd. Keeping them in internal is default and best.
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
I would even say that it is strongly recommended.

If market is working with an ext of more than 2GB, I'll have to change my thread Op :)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
You had better. It's not only working fine, but superbly! I updated at least 25 apps at a go including the huge Firefox Aurora..

I'll have to change my site info too, since I have quoted you on multiple pages including the FAQs. Too lazy to do it now.. ;)
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Updated on my side.

Now I'll have a look into booting the entire ROM for ext partition, but this is gonna take some time I guess.

I must make myself familiar again with boot.img and all that jazz on the Desire and then try it on my phone :D
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
well after a clean out and class 4 Sandisk and latest ROM version mine is superb too. I did format ext4 according to Siebres wonderful guide although I know I missed parameters. If I can expect a performance boost again when I follow instructions to the letter that's great!

I think he hates being called Siebre ;)
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:

Well I'll have another crack as the disk formatting in a week or so and write up a Wiki page on XDA about it.

Are there any other frequently asked questions or frequently encountered issues you would like me to write up for you?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I think I've already covered most questions on my faq page. Write it up on the site. Its better to keep everything in one place. I'll add Author privileges on the site when you're ready to do it.

I have this ROM installed for weak and phone runs great no lags, only when I installing or unistalling apps phone stop responding for about 10-15 sec. Any way to fix this?

I have class 4 kingmax 8 gigabytes Sd card. Do I need better one?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
A bit of lag while installing apps is expected.
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Undervolting the CPU to save power.

Are you interested? :D
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Oh yes! :)
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
I'll post here a zip file with all the needed stuff for you mate. You'll just have to adapt it to your needs for you ROM :)

EDIT:

Here you go!

In recovery:

Simply push the module to /system/lib/modules with root.root and 644 rights

push the 02undervolt script to /system/etc/init.d/ with root.root and 755 rights

reboot

Your CPU is now undervolted by 50mV :D

This is not my job, I was having the files on my HDD and found them yesterday when I was saving my newly downloaded supernova 2.0.2.0 zip archive. I just tested the module on my phone and it worked! :)

You can read the values by doing a cat command to /proc/undervolt.

sh-3.2# cat /proc/undervolt
950 900 19200
950 900 128000
975 925 245000
1000 950 384000
1075 1025 576000
1100 1050 614400
1100 1050 652800
1125 1075 691200
1150 1100 729600
1175 1125 768000
1200 1150 806400
1225 1175 844800
1250 1200 883200
1250 1200 921600
1275 1225 960000
1275 1225 998400
1275 1225 1036800
1275 1225 1075200
1300 1250 1113600
1300 1250 1152000
sh-3.2#

Left column is standard voltage, middle is curent voltage and right associated freq.

To change all values "on the fly" simply echo "+50" > /proc/undervolt to add 50mV or echo "-25" > /proc/undervolt to lower the voltage.

Steps are 25mV

You can also fine tune each voltage by using echo "xxxx yyyy" > /proc/undervolt where xxxx is the standard value and yyyy the new value you want to set. ie echo "1300 1275" will change all freqs with a standard value of 1300mV to 1275mV.

Sounds great.. I was taking a look at the Sensation RUU, and it is perfect for your Rom-off-a-file system

[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
No problem. Was thinking of aborting the Sensation project too.. It seems a lot of work!

Edit: I think it's better to name the script as 03*, because I already have 02writefs, which also takes care of turning off the LEDs once Data2sd is loaded
[Desire Android Development] iceman1979:
Guys last week I rooted, s-off, clockworkmod nandroid backup, installed cm7

It wasn't what i was expected, so I restored my original stock rom from backup

I want to test this one. Do I have to do enything special because of the previous cm7 installation?

I was thinking of buyin a bigger (16 or 32GB) SD card before installing supernova

Did anyone experience problems with memory cards that big?

What partition sizes you recommend for 16GB and for 32GB cards? :confused:

I like to have 2-3 navigation programs with their maps and my music with me :D

[Desire Android Development] UltimateGoblin:
Droidzone, I am proud to announce that I have finally rooted and installed your ROM! :D I add myself to those that didn't encounter a single problem if just sticking to your instructions.

Some observations:

1. The ROM works smoothly. Yes, the performance is overall a little slower than before (I had the stock ROM), but the (little) lag is totally bearable.

2. Don't wanna scare anyone but, most surprisingly, tests with ATTO showed that, IN MY CASE, sd card was just a little bit faster without aligning the Fat32 partition with Sd Formatter. Do not ask me why, that's what the reports showed. What I feel suggest to anyone,if I may, is to check the speed of the sd card with ATTO before and after the alignment. However, in no way you have to consider my case as the rule, more likely it's nothing but the classic exception. FYI, I have a class 6 A-Data 8GB.

3. I did not flash the new radio, as mine for the moment works ok. In Italy we have a proverb that says something like "if something is working fine, don't touch it". We have been annihilated in 2010 World Cup because of this proverb, but I see no harm in keeping the dear, old 5.11 radio version with me as long as it gives no problems ;)

4. The friend who helped me doing the root suggested me to keep CWM (it came with unrevoked) instead of 4Ext Recovery. Is there something relevant I should know about the differences between these two Recoveries? How do they behave with ext4?

I think it's enough for the moment, thanks a lot Droidzone and Sibere for your hard work!! Without you, my Desire would have been imprisoned by internal memory restrictions. Now I can finally say that it's free to have all the apps I feel like... as it was supposed to do! :)

I'll keep following you to keep me updated. All the best, guys, keep up the excellent work!
[Desire Android Development] UltimateGoblin:
One more thing: is there a way to get the "official" update of the Market to the latest version (without having to manually install the apk)? I'd like to see myself if it is really that slow ;)

I tried it on my other Android device... And it is sloooow

[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Well it is slow..

But since it is not officially released for the Desire, you do have to install the apk.. It's quite easy, and you can just 'run' the apk from fileexpert

Almost bricked my Desire today..was thinking I'd have to close down my roms, lol.. Thankfully, did some tricks and it's back! :D
[Desire Android Development] sibere:

[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Well, my phone has completed it's anniversary and I was thinking how I've been using it more for others than for myself.. Would be nice to have a boring phone which doesn't need tweaking.. :D

Isn't there's way to give the init.d script permission to format and move data at boot time even for s on users? I was thinking of giving it chown root: root and chmod 777 and running busybox copy as sudo. But was wondering if the chown would actually make it not work for the normal user..

What exactly are you willing to achieve?

I am still s on and I think formatting and copying can be done without much restrictions.

Sent from my HTC Desire with DATA2SD :)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Well, you went for the upgrade right? Upgrade works wholly in recovery, so su is given direct. I'm trying to get the "Data2sd install on reboot" to work for S-on users without a need to go to recovery and flash a zip..

The initData2sd( ) fn does not work when S-on..
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
II went to recov for flashing the ROM and doing a few tricks and tweaks because I wasn't on a standard DATA2SD configuration. The format/copy process to and EXT4 partition can be done easily.

I'll have a look tomorrow at this Fn and will get back to you if I have any solution for S-ON users (like me).

what is not working for me ATM as an S-ON user is mounting R/W rootfs and /system when the phone is running Android.
[Desire Android Development] UltimateGoblin:
Actually, the day before I rooted my Desire (i.e. yesterday) I got the official update without even a notification message (stock FroYo 2.2). During the day I had found that a bizarre Market icon had replaced the old one, I tapped on it and found the new Market right in its place! O_o

Btw Droidzone: you certainly used your phone more for us normal users rather than just for yourself, but I'm sure you liked it... :) With an iPhone you'd have got bored in no time, it happened the same to a friend of mine :D
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Yes, I guess StarBurst users will get it too as OTA..

I agree, the Desire was exciting.. I bricked it once, semi bricked it at least half a dozen times, and made 4 roms on it, and with Sibere's Data2sd, explored it to the core, and helped me understand even Linux and Java better.. I dont regret it a bit.. But bored of seeing the same thing every day ;)

[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I dont know your level of expertise. If you are a advanced user, you can speed up things by aligning your partitions with Sibere's guide, and/or installing the beta version of data2sd. But if you have issues with these, you are expected to provide full logs if you expect help. Details of beta code and how to create logs are given on the site. You can find Sibere's alignment thread on XDA

As an FYI: Different sdcards behave differently with Data2sd. The majority of them (judging by post-install feedback) run smoothly, while some sdcards have issues. Class of the card does not always correspond to performance
[Desire Android Development] wackymix:
thanks man, i don`t know why it keeps doing this, on other roms i doesnt do that. I think that my card is to slow, after i restart works well after i play some with him it keps makeing slow and slow.
