[HTC Desire S] Nandylee:
I wanted to write it down many times, but I don't have right time to do this.

The reason why I want to write it down, because I'm a newbie, and I know what a newbie would feel when he/she wants help but no one will help or they can't help.

Because of the stunning performance from few videoes of 4.0, I wanted to flash a 4.0 rom always, but I'm afraid to briket it, and finally I started to log in forums and check someone else how to do it.

I added many people, and only one answered me, and patiently helped me to do this, do that, but failed, though, I still thank him a lot.

My steps are simple, I won't define words, explain them, and I won't write down the exact process, because there are so many posters about it.

1. HTCdev, very important, everything is invisible without this step.

2. after this, you can use ADB to flash superuser and RE, or use a tool called pioneer, which is in Chinese, just need you to press anykey of your keyboard after you unzip it, and click (执行(means execut))boot.bat, and it's done

3. Flash recovery, I flash 4ext touch version, and it's quite good.

download PG881IMG.ZIP, and babababa....

My situation was like that: do not connect computer during flash 4ext, or it won't react.

4. flash rom, and after flash rom, return to bootloader, to flash boot.img(still many poster say this), and connect to computer, flash boot.img

And after that, everything's done.

May it help.

Welcome

Hello, please don't take this personally...(you're input is appreciated)

If by adding people you mean, adding users as friends and then private messaging them, then I don't find it surprising that you didn't get many answers.

This is an open forum and it's power is that all users are able to put input into finding solutions and assisting each other as a group not as individuals.

Even though PM's have a use in efficient communication within the forum, they are not recommended for new starters with problems, that's what the Q/A section is for.

If you have an issue or a question simply post a new thread describing it, although hopefully use the search function first to see if it has been asked before, as 90% of questions have been!

Although a little reading of the available guides and Google'ing goes a long way!

[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I didn't know that app, but I do now, although I still stand by what I said regarding one to one communication, it's always better to ask everyone through the forum, that's what gives it its power and then the answers are made available for others to read.

[HTC ChaCha] qtotter:
conclusion first: it was possible.

i searched for custom mtd info for chacha on google, and i found some info in chinese suggested it was possible to apply custom mtd on chacha.

http://wenku.baidu.com/view/b029ab6027d3240c8447ef67.html

i don't speak chinese, but google translation helped. i used Mikevhl's recovery (http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=749943&d=1318622558), and also FR-Custom-MTD-v1.5.6-boot.zip (http://115.com/file/aqvgn30z#) and FR-Custom-MTD-v1.5.6-recovery.zip (http://115.com/file/aqvgnzmc#) as the chinese instruction said although i don't know where these files came from (maybe somewhere here?)

the procedure itself was the same as desire (bravo) or any other devices, and after the process, i got;

Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on

tmpfs 214004 32 213972 0% /dev

/dev/block/mtdblock4 5120 1624 3496 32% /cache

/dev/block/mtdblock3 153600 150292 3308 98% /system

/dev/block/mtdblock5 307200 2560 304640 1% /data

yay!!

unfortunately, adlx.xda's v5.0.2.8 didn't work with these patches... sorry, if this info is already around here.

p.s. as usual, this patch automatically mounts /cache to /sd-ext when /cache partition is smaller than 20mb. however, /cache/download won't be created automatically which means vending.apk (market) fails to start. when you set /cache less than 20mb, you'd need create sd-ext partition on your sd card and either add init.d script to create /cache/download ot do it manually.
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Interesting, but sorry I don't read chinese :-(. I understand it's for changing the default partition layout on the Chacha.

Isn't it easier to use App2SD?

What are the patches? Do you why it doesn't work with my CWM build (maybe we can improve it so it work).
[HTC ChaCha] qtotter:
hi adlx.xda,

i don't read chinese, either;-)

it is sure easier for most people to use app2sd or data2sd, but i prefer to keep everything in the internal memory because it is possible if you change the partitions and don't install millions of apps. it is kinda a surprise to me that you didn't know about custom mtd...

anyway, the patches were originally created for htc desire, and adopted to other htc devices with low internal memory capacity like chacha/wildfire/etc.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=806321

there were two patches in the package; one for recovery partition and the other for boot partition. the recovery patch allows you to burn a custom rom according to the designated partition info. the boot patch allows you to change the boot image so that the device recognize the new partition info on boot.

when i use your recovery and the recovery patch together to burn a custom rom, chacha does not boot. i guess the patch does not modify something in your recovery correctly. on the other hand, this patch correctly modifies Mikevhl's old recovery. it is strange the patch can be used for the latest recovery for htc desire...

thx for your attention.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=35367602#post35367602

Basically, I'm wondering if the CustomMTD patches might be more compatible with a newer version of CWM compiled for our phone. I built a copy of 6.0.1.5, which mostly works, so if someone wants to give it a try, please do.
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
I managed to see custom partitions from CWM (not with the patches, but manually altering the recovery). 312MB /system and ~120MB /data (as an example just to try)

Apparently no problem with /system, but /data is not "working":

It appears as Read Only (it shouldn't actually event mount after moving/resizing it). Also not only it mounts, but it appears as 100%full, and won't allow me to do anything. I can't reformat it, remount rw,... :( I don't know why to be honest.

Now that I think about it, I should check dmesg.
[HTC ChaCha] qtotter:

[HTC ChaCha] kronflux:
so what files do we need, and what exactly do we do with them? I'd love to do the same as what you got working.
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
IIRC I used no files/patch,... It was more a matter of doing the partition table right. I took some notes and made an excel spreadsheet to help me with the conversions.

I'm on holiday starting today, I probably won't be able to review my notes and write anything related to this this month. Ping me again in Septembre so I review my notes and write a post about it :).
[HTC ChaCha] qtotter:
it came from this thread originally http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8578368&postcount=1, and it is very common among HTC Desire users.

it is quite easy to change partition sizes, and all the files you need are the three files that i uploaded.

recovery_chacha.img: Mike's old recovery that is compatible with this method. Don't use other recoveries!!

FR-Custom-MTD-v1.5.6-recovery.zip: This will patch recovery so that it can handle new partition sizes.

FR-Custom-MTD-v1.5.6-boot.zip: This will patch boot (kernel) in NAND so that the system can handle new partition sizes.

Procedure for ChaCha:

Make sure your phone is S-OFFed

**Make a backup in recovery first**

Place FR-Custom-MTD-v1.5.6-recovery.zip & FR-Custom-MTD-v1.5.6-boot.zip on SD card

Create mtdpartmap.txt on SD card with size of system & cache like "mtd 125 5". For example, I wanted to use ajeevlal's cm10.1 with Japanese IME and other system apps built in /system, I needed 330MB on /system and only 5MB on /cache (because I didn't need large /cache to use int2ext+.) So, my mtdpartmap.txt was "mtd 330 5". if you want to do this by shell command, it's gonna be like: echo "mtd 330 5" > /sdcard/mtdpartmap.txt

Flash Mike's old recovery above in fastboot like "fastboot flash recovery recovery_chacha.img"

Reboot into recovery

Wipe system, data, and cache

Flash FR-Custom-MTD-v1.5.6-recovery.zip, this patches recovery to use the new partition sizes

Reboot into recovery

Wipe system, data, and cache again just in case

Flash ROM, or restore from backup, and it will be flashed to NAND based on new partition sizes

Prior to rebooting, flash FR-Custom-MTD-v1.5.6-boot.zip, this patches boot (kernel) in NAND to load with the new partition sizes.

Reboot

unless you change mtdpartmap.txt on SD card, you don't need to repeat 1 - 8 every time. once you have decided your favorite partition sizes, you can start from 9. also, if your backup includes a patched boot image already, you can even skip 12 as well.

if you do this with any other newer recoveries, your phone simply does NOT boot. Mike's old recovery cannot backup sd-ext partition, but you can always do it manually like "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/sdcard/ext-bkup.img bs=4096" or something anyway.
[HTC ChaCha] qtotter:
kronflux's recovery

by the way, i tried your CWM 6.0.1.5 Built From Adlx http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1989839, but it does not patch boot correctly. so the phone won't boot.

as i repeatedly keep saying, you need mike's old recovery to do this. i have tried so many recoveries, and this old one is the ONLY that is compatible with these patches.
[HTC ChaCha] kronflux:
it's also too large to fit in the recovery partition properly I believe. would be great if we could come up with a partitioning table that has enough space for it, as well as a little more space for app/rom storage.

so what are you saying, that we need this other recovery to actually do the partitioning? or that only that recovery will work on a custom partition table?

Adlx was just saying above, he doesn't think he used any custom files or patches. naturally we'll see in september what he has to say about it.
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
I did it with my recovery, not Mike's, and it worked, but again, I did it manually.

Sent from my Galaxy S4 running CarbonRom "Adlx Edition"
[HTC ChaCha] qtotter:
basically, this process patches recovery and boot to rewrite the partition table. Only Mike's old recovery can do both correctly.

talking about other recoveries, the reason why the phone doesn't boot is either recovery patch failure or boot patch failure. because i know Mike's one works and am not a recovery dev, i didn't even try to find which part is not working.

however, you can easily check it by switching the recovery between patching recovery and patching boot. i guess the former part is not working correctly because the latter part is rather straight forward and simple.

i just don't understand what you want, actually. changing the partition sizes or learning the mechanism of changing partition table??
[HTC ChaCha] kronflux:
Essentially, changing the sizes of partitions to accommodate a larger recovery image(so that my CWM6 could be flashed and work properly), as well as add more space to the system partition so that we don't have to worry about flashing lite versions of Gapps, or slimming down roms so that they fit.
[HTC ChaCha] qtotter:
i have already explained how to do it above... now, my /system is 330 MB, and /cache is 5MB to cooperate with ajeevlal's cm10.1, full gapps, additional system apps and int2ext+. i am quite happy with my chacha setting not worrying about free space of /data, and battery lasts almost forever during sleep.

well, it is such a simple procedure, but i don't need to promote it to other people myself. i simply wanted to share the info that i learned over one year ago with people who want to make /system smaller for stock rom or make /system larger for cm10 and above.
[HTC ChaCha] kronflux:
so are you saying that once the partition resizing is done, I can switch back to Adlx's recovery? did you resize the recovery partition? if so, I'd flash the CWM 6 recovery rom.

Can you post the exact contents of your "mtdpartmap.txt"?(in "

" tags, or on pastebin or something)

If you haven't resized the recovery partition, how could I do that? - I don't NEED the 6.0.1.5 recovery, but it would be nice :P
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
You can, but you will need to repack it with the new mtdpart parameters in the cmdline.

About resizing the recovery part, I'm not sure it's possible. Actually I believe it's not. Why I believe that? Because what loads the recovery needs to know the offset and size of its partition. It's the bootloader which knows that. If you move the partition of the recovery, how do you indicates the new mtdpart parameters? I thinks it's not possible.

To be able to flash the 6.x recovery you could build it removing the charging images, I believe it will free sufficient space to allow it to be smaller and fit into the partition.

Sent from my Galaxy S4 running CarbonRom "Adlx Edition"
[HTC ChaCha] kronflux:
I'll have to look into compiling it myself. I just used the online builder, so I can't really remove anything.

As for repacking with cmdline parameters, I wonder if the "postrecoveryboot.sh" would be helpful?

Boot to Gecko is coming! if you haven't heard of b2g, its a web based replacement OS designed to take on android, apple and WP7, the exciting thing is, to speed up the release, it is relying on similar linux based processes to run. see here ;

https://wiki.mozilla.org/B2G

[Galaxy 3 General] rubensollie:
I already did look into it actually xD. But no progress, because i think we need another kernel for it.
[Galaxy 3 General] andreapier:
As it is not a different Android version, but a totally different system, it will require developing a new kernel, whole new drivers and of course porting the system.

Kernel and driver developing are much a pain in the a*s, so it won't be "easy" like porting MIUI (i do not mean to offend anyone).

I think it will require months of hard work from a c/c++ skilled dev....

Of course, i would be more than happy if someone is able to state the opposite!
[Galaxy 3 General] Ava.tar:
I did a bit more poking around and found that mozilla marketplace (the boot to gecko play store) is now open to devs!

Admittedly this wont be an easy port but the similarities between b2g and android will surely put our devs here ahead of the pack in the race to port b2g. And they are already having a good try on other android devices. I have so much faith in our devs!
[Galaxy 3 General] Ava.tar:
https://marketplace.mozilla.org/en-US/login?to=/en-US/developers/

Heres the link :D
[Galaxy 3 General] andreapier:
Well, i know how to develop web apps but i don't get the point on mozilla choice...

And performances of webapps in mobile phones are VERY low. I mean REALLY VERY low. At least, they are low until you provide optimized code for the underlying hardware but if you do so, you will need to provide a different interface for every kinf od hardware, ie: you will need to build a kernel with proper dirvers...

I'm not saying it can't be done, of course it can be, but as i stated before, it will be a major work from a skilled dev.

From my point of view, having CM7 /and then 9) fully working is much more interesting than trying to port mozilla OS.
[Galaxy 3 General] Ava.tar:
Well looking at the work already being done it doesnt look slow, it looks blazing fast! the interface looks brilliant and incredibly user friendly. I am pretty excited about a finished cm9 too but chasing released android firmwares to port is surely not as fun for talented devs as getting in on something at ground level? this isnt even out yet! its not even a blip on apple or androids radar, it is exciting!

its just another option. Im sure it will be something being discussed more and more in the very near future

In my opinion I don't think you should over work devs because they work in their own time and users expect them to be robots who just port roms and develop day and night. Let our devs work on their current projects and finish them to a high standard. Its quality over quantity right?
