Hi. Did you flash Data2SD installer? Only that way you will see the internal storage increasing accordingly (with an 1GB Ext4 partition you will get about 960MB internal storage. You can also use Link2SD but it's not the same thing. Performance-wise Data2SD is much better and IMHO it's more practical. No need to setup cache/lib redirection, etc.

The safe way to flash this ROM and make it work with Data2SD is to wipe everything (factory data, cache, dalvik-cache), flash ROM, make first boot and initial setup, turn off phone completely, boot in recovery mode and flash Data2SD installer, reboot in normal mode and wait AT LEAST one minute before typing PIN.

The first boot

after

installing Data2SD is critical for the phone to work properly.

I helped some users via PM and others with a post that is some pages back in this thread. You won't need to read it because I'm already giving you enough info here. :)

Again I will say this because it's never enough: after flashing Data2SD and rebooting, wait a good time before trying to use the phone.

Data2SD needs to adjust to the Ext4 partition and this takes time.

It's also important to know if your SD Card can handle Data2SD. Can you please tell us what card you're using? Is it at least Class 4?

Preferably I would use a Class 6 or 10 for assuring fast performance and no future lags.

I hope this post helped you... ;)
[HTC Wildfire S] hellnoob:
Try to reformat your card, Take care that the 1st partition must be fat32-Primary-Active, 2nd ext4-Primary and 3rd Linux Swap-Primary. Flash the rom again. -> refer this link http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22078832&postcount=401. After the first reboot configure your phone settings and then open link2sd and mount ext4 partition. Reboot and install data2sd. After you have installed data2SD you will see that your internal memory has increased , now you can starting installing your apps..

I am sure you missed out something. Even if not, do everything again and it might work. I flashed it 3 times to get it to work perfectly.

Whats new in the latest update??
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
Hi, there is no need to mount the Ext4 partition in Link2SD if the intention is to be using Data2SD.

Your recommendation on formatting the card again is tops! :)

It also took me time and three memory cards to get it right with the previous rom version... ;)

On the new stuff I suggest you read the OP (first post).

The nicest addition IMHO is the extended notification menu (quick settings). Will see if SD read speed increased after some benchmarking. It's one of the mentioned improvements.
[HTC Wildfire S] JorgeColaco:
I would like to check the features list (differences) from the last build and if someone using link2sd already update with success!

Thanks. Keep the great work!
[HTC Wildfire S] sancho21:
I suggest you add changes log. So that I know what are the new features or fixes in what version.

Keep doing good work!
[HTC Wildfire S] s4u2003:
Thank you so much for your reply and detail explanation. Initially I did not install flash Data2SD so did not see the internal storage increasing accordingly. Just tried to flash the Data2SD after re-flashed the ROM. This time I can see the internal storage is increased. However the phone still goes to reset itself when I attempted to install any applications. Any ideas?

This is my steps, if you can see any problems:

1.	Use Minitool Partition Wizard to resize SDcard 8G (Class 4 SanDisk) in cardreader

1st-FAT32 – 5.8G

2nd-Ext4 – 1.1G

3rd-Linux Swap - 518MB

to All primary and hit APPLY

2.	Copy ROM to SDCARD

3.	In CWM recovery - Wipe Factory, Data, Cache and Wipe Dalvik Cache

4.	Install Zip from SD Card

5.	Reboot into Andriod

6.	Apply the configure settings

7.	Apply then in Nofrills CPU change, same as posted Smartass with noop

8.	turn off fast boot in settings, power off

9.	Then Reboot again.

10.	in CWM recovery install zip data2sd installer

11.	reboot again

12.	phone is ready

Can you please see if anything missing or concerns above? Many thanks.

Thank you so much for your reply. Just tried again and flash the Data2SD after re-flashed the ROM. This time I can see the internal storage is increased. However the phone still goes to reset itself when I attempted to install any applications. Any thought?
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
Hi s4u2003,

This line from your post might be "killing" your setup: "7. Apply then in Nofrills CPU change, same as posted Smartass with noop"

I suggest you don't change CPU governor or I/O scheduler right away. Set minimum speed at 245MHz and maximum at 768MHz but keep the other settings untouched (at least for now).

You're changing too many things at once and this makes it more difficult to troubleshoot. I wrote that instructions carefully so that you can't fail. More than 5 people had the same problem you reported and sorted it out with my instructions.

After helping some people by PM and having positive feedback, I published the following post on this thread a while ago: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22078832&postcount=401

Of course that it was ment for one particular user but it serves as a general tutorial.

On a personal note I had problems with a 4GB Sandisk Class 4 card with Data2SD. At that time I used Link2SD as a workaround, auto-linking all other files to the Ext4 partition (it's an option inside Link2SD).

Now I have a 16GB Samsung "Essentials" Class 6 card that works great with Data2SD.

If you're going to give Link2SD a try then you must redo things from start, without flashing Data2SD obviously.

Keep us posted with your situation.

Instead of saying thanks, click thanks. ;)

Good luck!
[HTC Wildfire S] benel_angeles:
i love this rom!
[HTC Wildfire S] m1ndh4x8r:
Stop quoting the original thread, also added changelog in the features list.

In data2sd install, if your install in recovery goes very fast, it means it didnt install and your stuck at the splash screen. reinstall it again if it installs slow, then all is fine.
[HTC Wildfire S] s4u2003:
Thanks guys, finally i got everything work. I did flash the ROM Wildfire S Cracker GB2.3.5 2.13.401.3 [2-4-2012] from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1479002 instead of [ROM]m1ndh4x8r GB2.3.5|OCKernel|Stable|Apps2SD|DATA2SD|Premium Features[2/23/2012]

Compare two rom actually did not see any difference. the second one newer (because of the date) ?

---------- Post added at 12:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 AM ----------

I used a external SanDisk card reader instead of the laptop build in one and repartition the Sandisk 8G card and everything looks good. after copied the ROM and Data2SD into the card and flashed successfully this time. Only different thing I used ROM Wildfire S Cracker GB2.3.5 2.13.401.3 [2-4-2012] instead of the rom on this post. But I think they are very similar. Anyway, thanks a lot for your tips and help!
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
You don't get the following (for example): Extended Quick Settings by elf2009

I'm positive that you can make this newer ROM work on your phone.

Anyway if you're happy with the Cracker ROM I won't try to change your mind. ;)

---------- Post added at 01:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ----------

I guess your real problem had to do with the card reader/writer and not with the ROM. :p

Have you tried the newer ROM after repartitioning with the external SanDisk card reader? ;)

You're welcome for my help or tips. It's a pleasure. :cool:
[HTC Wildfire S] tsalta:
I have a question befor i use the rom with Link2SD and all was fine

Now i decide to re flash it with Data2SD ext4 so what is heppaning now

I done everything and its seems that the whole Sense UI is slow i mean when i remove widget or add another one or just move the position of them the device think too much and is slow all other is fast but i guest it is because all is moved in the ext4 Sd partition?

I think it is not normal to be so slow for example befor with the same ROM with Link2SD was complete diferent i didn`t notice any lag moving widgets or adding new now all seems so slow

NOTE: SOLVED

1st i was thinking is heppand because of the ext4 etc so what i did is i re flash the ROM and using Link2SD now all is super fast well i do not use Data2SD just link2SD with ext4

I want super performance on the UI sense and etc so who care when is writen you have 800mb of free internal memory when the whole system is slow down.

Now im very happy with the latest ROM

thank you m1ndh4x8r
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
Tsalta, if you want to have "super performance" on the Sense UI you need a GOOD memory card. I hope you took the time to read other posts on this thread, so that you can understand what I mean.

It's common knowledge that Data2SD is

very demanding

on the memory card quality and speed.

Some Class 4 cards might work well with it but if you want to have real performance and stability you should have a good quality/brand Class 6 or Class 10 card.

I had a Sandisk 4GB Class 4 card and a Kingston 8GB Class 4 card that couldn't handle Data2SD. I felt exactly the same problems that you describe. So, when I had to stick with those cards I used Link2SD just like you and was happy about it.

Now that I have a decent Class 6 card (Samsung "Essentials" 16GB - Full HD Compliant) I use Data2SD without any lag or delay.

Performance-wise Data2SD is a much better solution than Link2SD.

If you want speed you need to have the proper conditions.

Some rumours exist that Class 10 cards are too fast for Data2SD... but that's only true when running Data2SD on HTC Desire phones, due to hardware limitations. When the HTC Desire was designed, Class 10 cards weren't available (to my knowledge) like nowadays. So the phone wasn't prepared to deal with the high read/write rates and caused some stability and data integrity issues. That DOESN'T apply to the HTC Wildfire S.

I hope that now you might be better informed about the reasons that made your experience not so good. I'm writing this out of my personal experience and also because many people complained about the same problems.

With time and patience (and also some frustration) I learned that if I want my phone "running" I can't use "walking shoes". ;)
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
m1ndh4x8r, I've found out that after updating ROM two problems appeared:

1. Phone doesn't keep chosen skin after reboot. Wallpaper is kept but skin resets to default.

2. HTC Sense account doesn't save/work properly. After logging on for downloading new skins (for example), it exits without showing downloadable content. I've tried adding account in "Accounts and Sync" but it doesn't save the info. Other account types work fine.

Could you PLEASE confirm if this is a result of the upgrade or if these issues are problems of this new ROM? Thanks for your time.

EDIT: Forget it. I already found it out on my own. Upgrade brings some problems. Both issues mentioned above are solved by wiping everything and starting from scratch.

On a personal note I don't recommend that anybody upgrades ROM by wiping cache and dalvik-cache.

At a first glance it all seemed to be working fine but with time I found some little annoying problems.
[HTC Wildfire S] onimorza:
I can confirm data2sd works great with a class 10 card (Samsung 32GB HC) :D

And I've also noticed some none saved options after reboot like i've turned off fastboot and check for updates but they were back on after reboot.. :confused:
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
Hi onimorza! :)

You upgraded from the previous ROM to this new one, right?

Unfortunately from what I've been able to test, and from what you've read on my previous post, there are some things that don't work right after upgrading.

I already wiped everything (factory data, cache and dalvik-cache) and started from the beginning. Flashed ROM, made initial setup, flashed Data2SD installer and after a bit of hard work I already have all my apps reinstalled and functioning.

Now I see that those little problems are not bugs in the ROM but things that stopped working after updating to the newest version.

If you flash this from the beginning everything will work out fine.

I can confirm that the HTC Sense account works correctly and changing the skin works too.

Just now I tested disabling Fast Boot and rebooting. The setting remains disabled. :)

So you all know what's best. Forget the upgrade process, make your backups and take the time to do things from scratch. It's much safer and problem-free. :D
[HTC Wildfire S] onimorza:
Thanks for the reply but I didn't "upgrade". I jump around from one rom to another to test but allways fully wipe everything, and so I did too with this latest one.

It's weird because now I rebooted and settings were saved, but sometimes they do not. I have no idea what triggers it :confused: but I'll keep an eye on it :)

Other than that I find this rom the most stable between the ones I tested! Keep up the good work m1ndh4x8r!
[HTC Wildfire S] sancho21:
My sister phone uses RUU hTC Asia WWE which is applied properly (without flashing extracted zip files from RUU). The RUU has the same model with HTC EU's: PG7610000. I flashed your January ROM with CWM, but after rebooting the boot white screen never ends. What happens?

More info after RUU applied:

HBoot 1.09.0099

Microp 0451

Radio 7.53.39.03M

[HTC Wildfire S] m1ndh4x8r:
ruu link?

10 char.
[HTC Wildfire S] sancho21:
I'm glad you're there :)

This is hTC Asia WWE's which I used:

http://www.htcdev.com/ruu/PG7610000_Marvel_hboot_1.09.0099_0209_R.exe

It is different with HTC EU's:

http://www.htcdev.com/ruu/PG7610000_Marvel_hboot_1.09.0099_2.13.401.3_0210_R.exe

I don't know what the effect of RUU is.
[HTC Wildfire S] sancho21:
FYI, WildfireSCracker is not working either. It causes boot loop.

I think HTC makes this RUU for the rest of its models. There's no difference among branded or unbranded ones.
[HTC Wildfire S] nootered:
I love this rom, the layout, the App2SD ... everything ... except the battery life.

I have tried three roms now, including your other one with 3.5 sense and they all work flawlessly. As soon as I install this rom, using the exact some Apps and setup, my battery is just horrible.
[HTC Wildfire S] m1ndh4x8r:
I can't help you if you upgraded through htcdev, have it s-offed and you wont have problems flashing roms.
[HTC Wildfire S] sancho21:
m1ndh4x8r, I wonder what is the purpose of the RUU? I see that your ROM is based on RUU EU. Does it mean that Wildfire S wanting your ROM installed should use that RUU too prior to flashing your ROM?

Would you create ROM based on HTC Asia WWE RUU? Because a lot of late Wildfire S models (more than 10 models, not just Asia WWE) use that RUU which is just released no more than 2 weeks ago.

Thanks
[HTC Wildfire S] m1ndh4x8r:
I just download your ruu link and its just 25mb its just an upgrade I think. I used ruu with 160mb meaning a complete Rom released by football. I install any ROM in my wfs WWE ASIA CHN ARAB INDIA EU etc. w/o any problems cause Im Soffed. And use only Marvel roms not

marvelc or marvelct.

edit: it contains different languages.

My first WFS is not S-OFFed. I forced RUU EU (from HTCDev) and succeeded to install your January ROM. My sis WFS is also not S-OFFed. But I found new RUU (from HTCDev) which can be installed properly. It was RUU hTC Asia WWE. But sadly, failed to install your January ROM.

Is it possible 2.13 EU ROM can not be installed over 2.14 ROM via CWM? Would you tell me your analysis. I'd like to report this to HTC customer support. I hope they can help.

My other question is: What is marvelc, marvelct. If marvelc is Marvel CDMA, FYI, both WFS I mentioned are GSM ones.

BTW, I'd like to learn how to create custom ROMs for WFS. Where's the best reference to start?

Thanks!
[HTC Wildfire S] Mazer.one:
Thanks for update :)
[HTC Wildfire S] m1ndh4x8r:
tomorrow, I will re attempt to re odex this rom, last time I did it doesnt boot, cause of internal memory being full.
[HTC Wildfire S] tsalta:
I have question m1ndh4x8r

Im with the 23/02 version of your ROM now i saw a new update my question is

How i just can Update the ROM?!

I don`t want to lose all the things i already did on the device etc

So is there a way i hear only to update it and all to stay the same?!

Thanks in advance
[HTC Wildfire S] m1ndh4x8r:
Don't do wipe factory reset, Try wiping cache and dalvik cache, then install rom, and if your in data2sd install data2sd reinstaller after rom flash. Just make a nand backup before you do this, just in case it not works.
[HTC Wildfire S] m1ndh4x8r:
NEW UPLOAD:

ODEX ROM 117mb free internal memory

for Link2sd Users. but it can also be used for data2sd.
[HTC Wildfire S] tsalta:
Whitch one was faster???

Odexed or Deodexed?
[HTC Wildfire S] m1ndh4x8r:
don't know test them both. Then you'll get your answer.
[HTC Wildfire S] asdot:
woops... I'll test odex rom.

im link2sd user ;)

btw, can I replace no-frills with SetCPU? which one better and what different?
[HTC Wildfire S] 4D3:
Hi,

I just got my wildfire s today, and I want to flash this rom but I cannot find any info on getting S-OFF

Please can someone point me in the direction of the instructions i need to S-OFF and any other prerequisits i need to have completed before flashing this.

Is it possible to S-OFF without using HTC dev? doesnt that invalidate the warranty?

thanks in advance!
[HTC Wildfire S] victorharsh:
Hi, u can s-off only by XTC-clip, by using HTCdev you can only unlocked bootloader.

thanks if this help u :)
[HTC Wildfire S] 4D3:
is XTC-CLIP a software?
[HTC Wildfire S] AndhikaBP:
little issue

issue was solved..
[HTC Wildfire S] victorharsh:
Nop dear, its a hardware check this link http://www.xtc.hk but u can choose the option for HTCdev unlock method, its easy and after that you choose any ROM from WFS forum although its voids your warranty.
[HTC Wildfire S] m1ndh4x8r:
Is it a joke there is no auto rotation toggle in power control widget you must be mistaken by sync icon. Just use quick settings auto rotate on off.

Hi,

I want to send all APPS2SD, and I used DEODEXED rom, but when I load the rom, I get FC from youtube when Im not even using it.

also when I use titanium to restore my apps none of them go to the SD...they all go to the internal memory..

My old device was a HTC Vivid and all apps were on internal memory.

is there a way round this?

Thanks
[HTC Wildfire S] sancho21:
Hi m1ndh4x8r, finally I've managed to create custom ROM my self. It's based on HTC Asia WWE phone upgraded with corresponding RUU so that I have final official ROM 2.14. The custom ROM run smoothly on my sister's phone.

I think, the compatibility problem with your custom EU ROM is caused by your custom ROM is based on 2.13 ROM. So it's going to be downgrade and therefore rejected. That's only my analysis.
[HTC Wildfire S] m1ndh4x8r:
X don't work you have to choose it and force close it.
[HTC Wildfire S] 4D3:
Hi,

I have been trying to flash this rom, and all i am getting is boot loops...

Any ideas?

Thanks
[HTC Wildfire S] tsalta:
I think u have problem with the Processor do not allow to work at 806

What i mean here is this

I wrote befor i have 2 Wldfire S bought from the same shop

Whats heppand is the one never hade any problem and i flash everything super easy and all work perfect

the other one no matter what rom i flash stay on boot loop only or even if the sense load its freeze or restart itself

SO its like the device cant handle the ROM and this 806

So maybe they are the same devices bought from the same shop together but inside are not exactly the same

till now i still wondering WHY i never can flash a ROM to the other one with no problem

if someone can help me to investigate this and fix it?

I try all ROM`s from this serie and also some sense 3.5
[HTC Wildfire S] 4D3:
how do i know if i have an 806 (??)
[HTC Wildfire S] hardikrajgor123:
The 29/2 version is the fastest I've seen for the Wildfire S. Works like a charm with Data2Sd and also NoFrills. Thank you again :)
[HTC Wildfire S] sancho21:
I got the same experience. Check your stock/original ROM version. I'm afraid yours is >= 2.14 which is not compatible with this custom ROM unless S-Off-ed
[HTC Wildfire S] schlex2010:
Thank you for your work, mate!

Awesome ROM... !! ;)
[HTC Wildfire S] Nucleotide:
Just flashed this ROM - everything went well. Thank you very much! :)

Just curious what the difference between APP2SD and DATA2SD is? I'm currently using APP2SD. Are there any benefits to using one over the other?
[HTC Wildfire S] hex.linux:
Works great - Thank You :)

Everything is ok. I've found only two little bugs:

- HTC Messages is in English - not in selected language

- Boot time is quite long - about 2-3 minutes with some apps on SD
[HTC Wildfire S] m1ndh4x8r:
data2sd your sd ext partition becomes your internal memory. so if you have 1.2gb on you SD ext4 partition it becomes your internal memory.
[HTC Wildfire S] schlex2010:
Same here!
[HTC Wildfire S] y0da89:
Same here!

Other spotted bugs :

- Random freezes but these are frequent (3 a day and need to pull the battery out)

- Random black screens when launching apps (need to pull the battery out)

- Wifi is bugged like hell. I am connected but the market says that I am not. It disconnects each 5 seconds

But this rom is the fastest ever, continue your great job.

FYI I overclocked the CPU at 806Mhz.. Is it related?
[HTC Wildfire S] sw1kwz:
it stucks on HTC quietly briliant screen

512mb EXT3

0 Swap

other FAT32.

what i'm doing wrong ?
[HTC Wildfire S] william61:
Hi all, this rom is great, but when a patch for message.

For me I no other bug (for now) ;)

Sorry for my English !
[HTC Wildfire S] bradmax57:
I'd imagine 806 is too high?
[HTC Wildfire S] bingzz:
The problems are because of your CPU overclock. If it happens bring it down till it stops freezing.
[HTC Wildfire S] DugongoCurioso:
IMO the best Sense ROM for the HTC-Marvel, thanks a lot mate!
