Aw mate, I see it as a crime when someone as talented as droidzone is can't even get access to the basic tools he needs. Least I can do is offer to help out with some of the old junk I have laying around! Anyway, it's a selfish act really as I want droidzone to keep developing his great ROMs.

Droidzone, This is all equipment I have laying around spare, I'm a network specialist by trade so I accumulate PC's and crap. The only cost really is the postage, and I may need some help with that depending on how much it is. Looks like it might be quite expensive to ship a 10kg box to you from the UK! Still, I'm sure we can have a whip round or something.

Booce.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It should be possible to delete the app from system if you're S-off, or with a flashable script if you are not being able to do that. Let me know in the latter case
[Desire Android Development] atuladhikari:
And one f my friend is somming over in Sept from London...

Transportation prob solved!!!
[Desire Android Development] booce:
Nice one atuladhikari! So the offer stands then droidzone, nice core 2 quad core 2.66ghz with 4 GB RAM (Desktop) just waiting for you to say yes. Go on, you know you want to! I'm sure atuladhikari's friend and I can arrange to meet up and get it to you.

Booce
[Desire Android Development] atuladhikari:
I had a general question though...

What happens when i make a 4gb et4 on my sd card...

Am getting a 16GB Class 10 card, so i thought i should ask...
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Booce, thanks a lot again. I do have a good Quadcore PC at home but at the hostel that I'm living in, the one-room space I have doesnt permit use of it. It's temporary till around Jan, and I'll be back home by then. So definitely dont send your PC from UK! If I thought it was essential, I could definitely bring my PC over from home if space was adequate. Thanks a lot for the will to help out though! :) I just didnt expect the laptop to breath its last so soon! I'd just spent a good round sum on repairing the motherboard and it has gone awry again!

Dont worry guys, I expect the Rom to be quite stable.. :)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
According to what Sibere said, a lot of Market errors, though I wonder if it cant be corrected if one could find out more about the reason..

And please dont get a Class 10 card. Most of them are incompatible with our Desire
[Desire Android Development] wingnutta:
Yeah i am S-ON im afraid.. flashable script would be great but appreciate not so easy for you now. So not to worry - get that head in them books!

As for the offer - i agree with booce - shame such talent cant blossom. If there IS anything that might be easier/cheaper from the UK then dont be shy to ask mate! PM if you have to! Be nice to help you out for a change!! :p
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I will, thank you..

Here's your patch, mate..

Wipe Gmail app data after you apply it..
[Desire Android Development] booce:
Hi Droidzone, Just thought I'd offer as I feel like you've been doing me favours with this ROM ;-) Speaking of which, I'm trying to flash a 4 GB SD , 1 3 GB fat32, 1 1GB ext4, wipe phone (which is already on 2.0.1.1 on another sd card), flash rom, reboot and I get stuck with a pink LED on the why so serious screen. Partitions are definately right. Any ideas?

Booce
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Can you flash Getlogs and get me /sdcard/Data2SDlog.tar.gz superquick?

Edit: I'll take a look at it first thing in the morning..
[Desire Android Development] RevoWution:
Hey droidzone. I managed to grab the data2sd.log you needed here:

I have the exact same problem as Booce; two partitions (Fat32 and ext4) which I did with Gparted, flashed SuperNova, booted, waited, rebooted then flashed the Data2SD zip. I'm stuck with the HTC logo and an eery pink LED :)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Unfortunately, you gave me only half the info I needed at this point. Since you're obviously S-on as you flashed the data2sd installer, the failure occured at the recovery level. Therefore those logs are needed. After you flash getlogs, get the file /sdcard/Data2SDlog.tar.gz which is the complete log that I need
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Solution

But anyway, I think I understand the issue,.

Do this right away if you you havent modified the system after the bootloop:

Flash the Data2sd REinstaller

If you have restored from a backup, and are going to install the system from scratch again, flash this new Data2SD INstaller attached

Edit: Added even more updated code to the site
[Desire Android Development] RevoWution:
Unfortunately I've wiped and restored my previous Leedroid froyo backup (needed the phone today. All my backup phones are back in New Zealand lol). I'll start from scratch again tonight after work.

Btw, is the Data2SDInstallerSNXD2.zip you've attached the same as the one on your site? Because that's the one I've been using. No matter. I'm 99% certain I can re-produce the pink LED boot loop again, and I'll give the reinstaller zip a whirl. Hopefully that can fix all my worries :)

If the reinstaller fails as well, I'll be sure to upload the entire Data2SDlog.tar.gz file for you.

Thanks for your patience and help. Really appreciate it ;)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
No the one I attached here has a few code corrections for your specific issue, which I think should fix your issue. But as I type, I'm also updating the files on my site.

Since you're gonna redo it, only use the installer as you do normally. The installer has fixes for it.

Btw.. I managed to switch on the laptop temporarily by blowing air into it.. Seems to be fan problem!
[Desire Android Development] RevoWution:
Thanks a lot man. Will report back with the outcome later tonight!! :D
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It's guaranteed to go smoothly. My logs show that everything was going normally. Typhon was just trying to protect you from a bad installation. Only in this case, it was a false positive. Kind of how your antivirus does that sometimes :)
[Desire Android Development] dbanzon:
i got a question...the latest version of supernova is supernova xtreme classic 2.01.1 and as the name suggests is classic version correct? so there is no need to flash data2installer right?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
That's right, as long as you're S-off. If you're S-on, you need to.
[Desire Android Development] dbanzon:
thanks for the very quick reply. Downloading now and cant wait to try it out!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
By the way, better to change to 4Extrecovery for best compatibility. And you need stock hboot too!
[Desire Android Development] dbanzon:
well flashing went well..off to try this out for the weekend! By the way does anyone have any flashable theme for this rom?
[Desire Android Development] booce:
Ok, more info on the pink led problem. I put the phone in the same state as before but this time I flashed sn2.0.0.1. That worked perfectly. I let that settle then flashed 2.0.1.1 over it and that worked. The weird thing is that my partition is still ext3! Phone is actually faster in this configuration. I think there may be a bug or two still lurking in the 2.0.1.1 installation script.

Glad to hear your able to get a little use out of your laptop droidzone.

Hope this helps someone.

Booce
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
@dbanzon

Give it some time, lol.. HTC released it barely 5 days ago! :)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Uh, oh..Didnt you covert your ext3->4 before flashing, booce? And does 4extrecovery tell you that its ext3?
[Desire Android Development] booce:
Nope, this time I just let the scripts do the work. 4extrecovery is reporting ext3. Everything is working well though.

Booce
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It might seem to work, but it's not recommended since the mounting is being done as ext4, and the actual partition is ext3. The script will not modify your partition which contains data. It will just reuse it. Reusing an ext3 partition on a system where scripts are adapted for ext4 is not good. I recommend that you use 4extrecovery to convert it to ext4 right away. It'll convert it without any data loss. Also the scripts shouldnt give you any further trouble either.
[Desire Android Development] booce:
Ok good to know, I'll do that now, thanks droidzone. Any ideas why a clean install of 2.0.1.1 fails and a 2.0.0.1 works?

Booce
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
A clean install of 2.0.1.1 will no longer fail. The Data2SD installer has been corrected. :)
[Desire Android Development] RevoWution:
Hmmm... I really dunno where I went wrong haha...

These are the steps I went through:

1) Re-formatted SD card

2) Partitioned into two partitions with Gparted; Fat32 and Ext4

3) Chucked SuperNova_2.0.1.1.zip and Data2SDInstallerSNXD3.zip onto SD card

4) Booted into recovery

5) Flashed SuperNova_2.0.1.1.zip

6) Powered up phone, went through the welcome steps, skipped login details for Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

7) Rebooted into recovery

8) Flashed Data2SDInstallerSNXD3.zip

9) Powered up --> Now stuck on initial HTC logo (this time without eery pink LED)

Been stuck on the HTC logo for about 10mins now... :(

Should I reboot into recovery, flash GetLogsv6.zip and grab the /sdcard/Data2SDlog.tar.gz file for you, droidzone? :)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Yes you should..

By the way, that boot can take upto 20 mins..
[Desire Android Development] booce:
Ah droidzone, you are the man :-) I've converted to ext4 and all seems well although my startup time increased by 1.19 mins! Still, rom is responsive to use and that's what I care about.

Thanks again droidzone.

Booce
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Cool..One down, one more to go! ;)
[Desire Android Development] RevoWution:
Here you go :) I had to rename the file to a *.zip
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
The script is trying to find your ext4 partition but it cant, so it delays the process and checks multiple times. It could be an issue with partitioning. Have you installed 4ext recovery? Could you try partitioning with that?

Recreate both partitions with 4ext..
[Desire Android Development] booce:
Hi droidzone, sorry to be a pain, but is the 2.0.1.1 rom download from the donors zone the link I want for the updated data2sd installer, or is it just the data2sd installer I want?

Booce
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Since you're S-on, it's the latest Data2SD installer that you need.

I swear I just saw an army of ants exit my laptop!!
[Desire Android Development] RevoWution:
Sorry to be such a pain in the arse, but how on earth do I get 4extrecovery to work? I followed the instructions in the 4extrecovery thread tried renaming it as PB99IMG.zip and then booting into HBOOT, but it does nothing lol.
[Desire Android Development] booce:
Lol! Last week I cleaned my home server out and I had to remove about a pound of cobwebs and a very dessicated spider corpse :-) I wouldn't mind but the server runs 24/7!

Thanks for the info, and here's hoping your laptop runs a bit better now ;-)

Booce
[Desire Android Development] RevoWution:
Ok I managed to get 4extrecovery running using the fake flash method listed in the thread :) I've just wiped/formatted and re-partitioned:

Fat32 = 14167mb

Ext4 = 1024mb

Going to try re-flashing SuperNova now :)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
power cut here, so had to switch off the laptop..

That method works only on s off. You should use the old unrevoked to flash it. But then you need a working rom for that!

Wipe from current recovery

Install supernova, at first boot, install unrevoked, choose to flash.4ext recovery, then boot to new recovery and repeat rom install instructions

Swyped with my HTC Desire on Supernova Extreme Rom - Gingerbread goodness with Unlimited Internal Memory!

Ignore the typos, swype isn't perfect.. ;)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Ah, that also works!

[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Hopefully. But last time I got it on by blowing air like into a balloon, at least a dozen times to turn the fan on. Otherwise out would just give a fan error and refuse to boot. So, I kept it on standby as I was afraid to turn it off. So, no idea whether it will turn on, lol..

1) Flashing SuperNova now

2) Will let it boot up, after welcome screen(s), reboot to recovery and flash Data2SDinstaller

3) Reboot

Does that sound about right?

Just gonna go and grab a quick bite for dinner. Will let you know the outcome!!

[Desire Android Development] carlo0810:
same boat as RevoWution here, stuck on htc logo now for 10mins after flashing data2sd...
[Desire Android Development] booce:
In my experience, if it gets as far as the htc screen without bootlooping (keep an eye on it, if it keeps doing the animated "quietly brilliant" bit, it's bootlooping) then you just need to give it time. If it's boot looping, you're going to need droidzone's help.

Booce.
[Desire Android Development] carlo0810:
currently stuck on the first htc screen....2.0.0.1 worked fine though

on a side note, also tried alex-v 1.0 which requires an ext 4 as well, coudnt get that to work as well, seems like ext4 isnt compatible with my phone or sdcard....
[Desire Android Development] booce:
Do you have 4extrecovery installed? If so, use that to confirm your ext partition is in fact 4 and not 3.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Stock hboot?

Swyped with my HTC Desire on Supernova Extreme Rom - Gingerbread goodness with Unlimited Internal Memory!

Ignore the typos, swype isn't perfect.. ;)
[Desire Android Development] carlo0810:
yup, stock hboot, s-on, used 4ext to partition, although after partitioning, free space for ext4 was blank...
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Since you seem kinda new to things, it'd help if you describe what you did it more depth. What options did you use in 4ext? Did you create a ext4 partition after creating a fat32, how much space did u choose for each?
[Desire Android Development] carlo0810:
to partition, just went to advanced, partition sd, remove all fat32 etc...then chose 1024 for sd-ext, then ext 4 as file system, everythiing appears to go well, but after everything, sd-ext appears like this capacity 1025MiB, free just iB, while fat32 capacity 14168MiB free 13.7GiB
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Ah well then, the recovery cant help you, seek out maadmax's thread for that. For now, redo it with Gparted.

By the way, if any of you on S-on would like to do S-off, now's the safest time to do it. Revolutionary (Alpharev+Unrevoked) is simple and can do it from windows itself in seconds..
[Desire Android Development] P0yraz:
Guys, I read 3 pages of the thread but then I realized it is 95 pages and then I gave up to read all :P

Please help me since it is overclocked how is battery life? cause it is important for me how many hours will this ROM be up with network using and some calls and txting I use my phone mostly for internet mail stuffs

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Its not overclocked! It lasts a day for me..
[Desire Android Development] RevoWution:
Still no go for me after partitioning with 4extrecovery...

Same issue as before. Stuck on HTC logo. Also, my 4ext partition size shows up as iB on 4extrecovery as well.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Weird that both of you have the problem with recovery.. Care to retry Gparted?

Full wipe in recovery

In Gparted, Delete both partitions

T=total size of sdcard

Make:

Partition 1: T-1.8 Gb: Fat32

Partition 2: 1.8 Gb: Ext4

Install SN2011

Reboot

Install Data2SD INstaller

Reboot

Wait 20 mins
[Desire Android Development] booce:
Guys, can I suggest you stop trying to partition the card with 4extrecovery and do it with gpatred instead? It always works that way for me.

Booce.
[Desire Android Development] RevoWution:
Is 20min typically how long it should take for it to get out of the initial HTC boot logo right after flashing the Data2SD zip? If so, I might let it run its course for 20min and see what happens...

At least I don't get the "HTC logo (1min) --> pink LED (1-2min) --> device turns off --> HTC logo (1min) --> pink LED (1-2min) --> etc." loop I was getting last night with the old Data2SD zip... So hopefully it's just taking ages to create?

Thoughts, droidzone? :)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
No, if it hangs before the Quietly brilliant screen and pink LED are displayed, that's more serious. It shouldnt take 10-45 seconds to get out of that and display the PINK led. But of course, pink LED is for S-off only. S-on users create the data2sd in recovery, so you should be seeing blue LED only
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
In either case, I still need the newer logs if it keeps hanging even after you repartition. Speculation only goes so far.. :)
[Desire Android Development] RevoWution:
I used Gparted myself multiple times last night (with the old Data2SD zip), and also twice tonight (with the new Data2SD zip).

After flashing the Data2SD zips:

- Last night, I was getting the pink LED problem you also mentioned

- Tonight, I'm stuck with the initial HTC logo (no "Quietly Brilliant" loop for me)

How long did yours stay on the HTC logo before responding, Booce? :)
[Desire Android Development] RevoWution:
Alright, I'm gonna repartition with Gparted again the way you posted earlier.

Be right back :)
[Desire Android Development] booce:
Between 3 and 10 mins for me on a class 6 card.
[Desire Android Development] carlo0810:
it is a bit weird that RevoWution and i have the exact same problem, tried it one more time still stuck on HTC screen, btw, my HBOOT is still .80, do you guys think it has anything to do with any of my problems?
[Desire Android Development] booce:
Could be, I'm on 0.92 if memory serves...
[Desire Android Development] P0yraz:
I am new in this device and ROM stuffs,

I have AceSMod007 v24 on my phone right now, it is s-off and it has CM7r2 hboot on it, I read the installation page but I got confused I know I should change my hboot to stock hboot but what eles after it? how should I install DATA2SD and also my phone has 8GB class 6 SDcard and it has 1GB ext4 on it, do I have to repartition it? if it is possible for anyone please just tell me what to do and which files to download in this page (http://supernova.droidzone.in/supernova-rom-home/resources/download-links/)

Thanks in advance for tolerating a newbie here! :D
[Desire Android Development] booce:
P0yraz, You're right. Start with replacing your hboot for stock. Then you can leave your card with it's 1gb ext4 remaining space as fat32. Put the ROM (you only need the ROM as long as you stay S-off) on the fat 32, boot to recovery , Wipe the phone (factory reset wipe) and flash the rom. Let it boot, go through the wizards without filling anything out. Let the phone settle for a few mins then reboot it. When it comes back up, check your free space. It should be about a gig.

Have fun!

Booce
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
You could even try without wipe at first. If it gives issues, you can always wipe.
[Desire Android Development] carlo0810:
ok, repartitioned in gparted using T-18GB etc. settings, when i went into recovery applied update.zip so that i could use 4ext, since my original is CWM 2.5.0.1, once in 4ext, i checked file system using 4ext, it showed that i had errors with partition coming from gparted...
[Desire Android Development] P0yraz:
Then I don't have to download (Data2SDInstaller for Supernova Classic 2.0+ (Version 3.0) (28)) or anything just ROM full wipe let it boot without filling infos and then after some minutes reboot again and that is all, it will do everything by itself, right?!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Never mind the errors. Proceed, ho! :)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Right. Keep the installation instrctions page of the site open for reference
[Desire Android Development] booce:
carlo0810, That sounds quite confusing. You should have 4extrecovery as your recovery when you boot to recovery mode. You just part the card with gparted, drop the rom on the fat32 partition, put card in phone, boot to 4extrecovery and flash rom.

I don't understand why you are applying update.zip. Your CWM should have been replaced with 4extrecovery? I've yet to see gparted turn out an error. DO you have any other cards you can try?
[Desire Android Development] booce:
P0yraz , you've got it, that's the way as long as you stay S-off after replacing your hboot. You only ned the other file if you go S-on. In that case, it's the same as before but on the last reboot, reboot to recovery instead and flash the dat2sd installer. Then reboot and check you space.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
He applied only a fake flash for recovery, which is probably also the cause of the error!
[Desire Android Development] booce:
Ah I see, that would complicate things I would imagine :-) Glad I put mine in permanently!

Booce.
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Does card class make much noticeable difference? Currently using a class 2 sandisk here, some lag.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
carlo0810, dont try fake flash again. Install the rom in current recovery, then at first boot, flash 4ext to it with unrevoked. Or you can S-off with revolution, which imho is far easier than all this trouble!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Of course it does! Class 6 > 4 > 2 as far as speed goes! The same applies in reverse for lags
[Desire Android Development] RevoWution:
Alright, does this mean I shouldn't try fake flashing with 4extrecovery as well?

How exactly do I permanently flash 4extrecovery? :) Sorry I am at a total loss lol...
[Desire Android Development] booce:
RevoWution, I can't find the link right now, but there is a version of 4extrecovery that you run from windows with your phone connected and it overwrites the CWM recovery. That's how I did it anyway. Hope that's of some help.

Booce
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It depends..

The easiest way is to do an S-off followed by a simple fastboot command/reboot with the pb99img. Or flash it with Unrevoked
[Desire Android Development] carlo0810:
is this it? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1154221

Yup, that's the one! I flashed 2.1.0 as it was the latest stable one at the time. I used the OneClick Flashable version and it was fine. I am S-Off though, I don't know if you are.
