[HTC Wildfire S] radcro:
First, I can't post in the developers section to leave feedback for this cool rom because I'm a 50 year old noob who has only been hacking every device imaginable for 30 years. Sometimes forum rules should be modified and base users on experience rather than time served.

Second, let me just say great job on this rom...I personally appreciate the amount of hard work that went into creating this rom, which I might add is the most up-to-date looking rom I have seen for a marvelc - wildfire s phone.

I had issues installing just about anything using clockwork mod recovery v5.0.2.8 on my phone (I had better luck with previous version of this recovery software). I fastboot flashed TWRP_MarvelC.img v2.2.2.0 (preview release) onto my Virgin Mobile - HTC Wildfire S - A510c (USA marvelc) phone and have had no more lockup issues in recovery mode.

These are the files I flashed in the order I flashed them (wiping and formating the usual sectors in preparation of the pending install:

1 - cm-10.1-20130622-EXPERIMENTAL-marvelc-A0.zip

2 - CronMod-INT2EXTV2+_signed.zip

3 - GAPPS_Lite_4.2.2_by_JDev_[OWLPROJECT].zip

So long story short, TWRP will work to flash this rom if you used the right version for your phone (at least in my case).

Somehow I over wiped my phone when I was struggling with clockwork mod and I needed to activate my phone again. I tried the activation software in this mod with no success. When my phone placed the activation call, the voice said I can't activate my phone this way...call customer support (no thanks). So I tried the old manual way by dialing ##8-4-7-4-4-6# and got the same message. I decided to flash a rooted VM stock/modded rom that had the activation software in it, re-activated my phone over the network, carefully wiped my phone and reinstalled the 3 files mentioned above and presto...My phone is activated with this experimental rom.

I will start testing the installed apps but without SD storage working, I don't have access to any media so the camera won't store photos etc. I will start installing more apps from the Google store and give you feedback on anything that doesn't work.

FYI - after proper shutdown, once I press the power button, it takes about 70 seconds to boot the phone to a usable state. I'm not sure if thats good or bad for a phone with, as far as I know, a stock cpu speed but I think it's quick enough for the look and feel of this rom.

As far as SD storage, here is what my phone is reporting for storage with an 8GB SD card (partition info further below):

----------------------------------

Total space: 1.66GB

Available: 1.56GB

Apps(data & media): 57.14MB

Cached data: 13.27MB

Insert an SD card for mounting

----------------------------------

(SD Card section is all blacked out)

Here is the partition info for my 8GB SD Card (perhaps I caused my own SD card issue):

Capacity Used Free Space File System Type

5.50GB 163.97MB 5.34GB Fat32 Primary

1.69GB 61.78MB 1.63GB Ext4 Primary

513MB	4KB 513MB Linux Swap Primary

So At least the INT2EXTV2+ setup has increased my app storage seamlessly (great script croniccorey). I also tried a 2GB SD card with 1 partition configured in fat32 as primary and ended up with far less storage for apps (Total-150MB, Free Space-30MB) and still couldn't mount the SD card.

Is the SD card mounting done by a dll (I'm not sure what the Android equivalent is) or a separate apk program file? Could I copy over an older or original file version into the "system" sector that mounts the SD card or is it embedded in the "settings" apk program file?

The above questions are more rhetorical than I really expect answered (Just means I need to do more research).

Thanks again for breathing new life into an old phone...you rock! Keep up the great support.
