[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
Ok seems many usrs here have the same problems over and over again. so heres a tut!

This will probably cover many other topics but simplified here as much as i can.

You Must have the following to get this to work:

ROOT

Recovery 5.0.2.6

busybox installed.

if you have non of these...do not attempt any of this thread till you have!

To start with.

Creation of EXT3 Partitions.

you will need Minitool Partition Wizard. Mini Tool Partition Wizard Download

This is a harddrive/diskspace program allowing accurate modification of disk space.

Never create an EXT3 in CWM

, as this will create whats known as a swap drive.

this causes the bootloop. Hence the non boot!

EXT3 has to be set as primary drive not logical.

Size allowance recommendations (personal choice, but this is after a few findings and results given by Salsa users)

SD Card Size.................................EXT3 Size

2GB......(Class 2).............................250MB

4GB......(Class 2-4)..........................500MB

8GB......(Class4-6)...........................500MB-1GB

16GB....(Class8-10).........................1.2GB​

WARNING, anything over 1.5GB will result in serious problems and SD damage

This also works around class types of SD Card. the higher the class the faster it works, there are various brands offering different class cards, find a fast and big card for best performance. I currently use Class 8 16GB with 1GB Ext3 with little/no lag

Wise idea before this to make an SD backup, if done correctly your data will not be affected...if you screwed up...you'll loose everything...so back it up!

To start with,

Remove Sd Card and use and SD Reader and insert into your computer USB Slot.

Open Minitool Partition Wizard.

Resize your sd card accordingly leaving 1.2-1.5gb of unallocated space. Apply the actions.

Now you have the unallocated space, reformat the space in EXT3 and set as Primary drive. Apply Actions.

Now normally the Application throws your sd out and says bad drive......this is sometimes normal so don't panic.

Reinsert your Sd in Phone and boot into recovery only

Data2sd script

theres 2 scripts available for these roms.

htc-data2sd-ext3 or data2whatever by m1ndh8x4r.

2.1 Roms work well with htc-data2sd-ext3 script with no problems.

data2whatever works really well with 3.5 sense Roms (Bens/M1nds)

*****There is a warning with this data2whatever script....When using this script, you will notice after a short period, that you cannot update or install any more apks. This is due to a Dalvik error within the script on Deodexed roms, currently it cannot be fixed, you have been warned*****​

these can be used easily but the following rules must be applied.

You must flash the rom firstly by the 3 wipes...regardless!

flash the rom as normal and reboot full, letting the rom fully build it self and load up... ie input your details/sign in wifi etc.

check it out for a few mins while your waiting...hey even make a backup lol!

OK now reboot in recovery and flash the chosen script....

DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING!

once flashed reboot normally.

it will boot, it may take up to 5-10mins but it will boot. if by any chance you a boot loop at the boot animation screen then you have an EXT3 fault and you must redo the EXT3 Partition in Minitool to proceed again.
