yes. Workaround is, to plug out the SIM card....

install ROM

install ES-File Explorer (in Recovery)

install Mounts2SD.apk with ES File Explorer (i extracted it in a previous version with titanium backup, not sure if it's allowed to attach it here, pls delete it if it is not)

configure Mounts2SD -> restart

install Google Keyboard.apk with ES-File Explorer

change the keyboard in settings

Now you can plug in your SIM card again.

[MENTION=4905415]Malk4ever[/MENTION]

thanks for that workaround, but question, why don't you flash Mounts2SD like described in first post?
[Desire Android Development] Malk4ever:
Because you need to type in your Google-Account to get access to the play store. Usually the play store tries one time, and exactly one time to download the apps, that you have used before.... due the lack of space (147 / 182 MB) it will fail. So i need Mounts2SD before i log into the Play store.
[Desire Android Development] SaySayonara:
Try adding Mounts2SD.apk in the rom in /system/apps. That way you can skip adding the account and install the script first.
[Desire Android Development] andy hall:
I used to think that as well.

What you can do is go into the play store, immediatley go to top left of play store, go to my apps, click on stop all updates.

The install mounts2sd and follow the instructions from this.

when mounts2sd is configured and the phone is rebooted, go into play store, my apps, ALL.

You can bulk install by long pressing which will select the app you have held, then touch as many as you want to install from the list.

I have done this on multiple roms of different versions including this one.

I would suggest you limit it to 20 at a time or it gets a bit boggy.

OR

there are threads on how to download the APK file using proxy services

OR

install mounts2sd onto your current rom and backup the APK using Superbackup or moborobo or another.

Then install the APK to this rom.

But DO NOT restore the APP and settings from another rom, only the APK
[Desire Android Development] Malk4ever:
thx for the info... but some apps data i restore from any ROM (Notepad, Alarmdroid and some games).
[Desire Android Development] andy hall:

ok, I had a bit of a time doing restores so stopped.

[Desire Android Development] andy hall:
If memory serves me correctly, most of the sounds were set to null or none.

There is a recommendation to use Textra, which has its own sounds.
[Desire Android Development] Malk4ever:
I tried AOSB-ROM, which is fine, and CarbonROM, which suxx for a few days... but came back to Beanstalk. Imho it's still the best Android 4 ROM for the Desire.

AOSB caused some Lockscreen-Issues (Alarmdroid blocked my phone), performance was compareable with Beanstalk.

CarbonROM had multiple reboots and performance issues... and some bugs (Trackball wake for example).
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Yes i have enabled it for the next build, then we can see if it reduces performance. If it does I will revert it, but if not I will leave it enabled.

I'm not sure how to enable it via smali editing, but you might be able to find a guide somewhere on xda. But in a few days I'll release a build with it enabled, so it might be better to just wait till then.

I had this Problem when i added "Apollo" (Music-Player) as a system-app... i think it's because the ROM is so big, that it fills the whole system partition. If you try to add something, you get a broken system.
[Desire Android Development] karo222:
But I didn't add any thing

It happens all the time

and starts just after installing fresh Rom without adding or installing any program

You can see your sd-ext usage within the mounts2sd app.

storage question

I seems that even when I have flashed m2sd, apps and other media are not beening stored on sd card, I go into Apps or storage in the menu and under apps itk only shows what is on internal storage and there is no sign of external storage.

can you help??
[Desire Android Development] eddiehk6:
m2sd affects app and dalvik depending on how you configure it. They get moved to sd-ext which is what you want. In most cases you only need to keep apps on 'internal' to trick them to sd-ext. Do not manually 'move to sd'

m2sd does not affect media such as pictures or music. They stay on the normal FAT32 partition of your sdcard.

Your sd-ext is often not reported as additional internal memory by the ROM. Use an app like 'diskusage', enable root and browse all your partitions to check they're working as you expect.
[Desire Android Development] htc_desire_luke:
storage question

is there any way to move apps to sd card??
[Desire Android Development] eddiehk6:
Erm why do you think you installed m2sd in the first place...?

That's it's sole purpose, to actually move things to sd-ext partition of your sdcard...

Follow instructions as in the first post (<- this is a general rule), and tips above.

Ignore what you see in the manage apps section in settings. All you need to see is that your partitions are actually being used as expected, and understand how they're filling up. Another hint: 'DiskUsage' app.
[Desire Android Development] htc_desire_luke:
storage question

I did follow instructions.

I will try to get app, but thats the problem, it seems i cant download any more apps as I get the message "insufficient storage appear"

any ideas??

much appraciated
[Desire Android Development] satter:
first of all u have to make sure that you have the correct hboot see under instuctions in OP

then u will have enough space to download m2sd and install

"Recommendations/Requirements:

- An hboot with at least 250mb on system. These include stock hboot or [MENTION=4577482]jmcclue[/MENTION]'s 250/5/182 hboot."
[Desire Android Development] htc_desire_luke:
storage question

yes I am using JMclues hboot and I flashed the m2sd from recovery...
[Desire Android Development] eddiehk6:
So uninstall a few apps to create more space first.

This will remove the app data (such as app settings or game data) to free up space on /data. You can back up a few apps with titanium first if you want to reinstall after

You need to 'trick' the phone into thinking you have enough memory on /data to install an app, even though it does not actually install to /data partition.

To solve your memory issue, you first need to understand logically and exactly what is using the memory. Once you get diskusage installed, enable root and browse your /data partition, it should be 147MB big in total. EDIT: 182MB total if you're on modified hboot. This is filling up, hence the insufficient memory warnings. It will show you exactly what is actually using the memory. It should be mostly app data.

If mount2sd is configured as in the first post, you can also browse your /sd-ext partition, and You should see /apps and /dalvik-cache folders filling it up.

If everything is configured as expected, you may simply have too many apps installed. on stock hboot, app space is still limited even with A2SD
[Desire Android Development] htc_desire_luke:
storage question

got diskusage app...

going to post screen shot

damn cant find how to do screenshot???

---------- Post added at 03:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------

I have under data: 1475MB

just going into recovery.....

system info:

mount point: Data>size>182.6MB>free>47.5mb

sd-ext>ext4>1537mb>free>1.1GB

????
[Desire Android Development] eddiehk6:
So good news is your sd-ext partition is being used (by logic as free space is less than total size)

You only have free 47.5MB of your actual /data partition free, your apps generate a lot of data. So now this is the part where you actually explore your internal memory ;)

Go back to diskusage, and find the partition which is 182.6MB in total size (should be /data or similar name). You can zoom in (pinch) to work out what subfolders are taking up the most space, try /data/data/ .

- For apps with large data subfolders, you can move the app data manually to /sd-ext with titanium as explained above. But app will likely become slower / possibly unstable. (I think it's long press app in titanium -> move app data to sdcard)

- Check that there are no apps incorrectly in /data/app/ or similar

Remember that if you have many apps installed, stock or alpha jelly hboot is still very limited for app space. /data partition is still small either way. There's not much else you can do except change ROM with smaller hboot.
[Desire Android Development] htc_desire_luke:

Great rom

Completely revived my old HTC Desire. This is a fantastic ROM. Thank you Chromium :)
[Desire Android Development] Malk4ever:
I had the same strange problem... ROM said: optimizing Apps 101 of 102... near the end it aborts and i get FCs all the time, not useable anymore for anything.

I still think its a problem of too less space on system partition... recovers said he is in "safe mode" because he could not read system partition.

I tried to clear dalvik and cache... no effect.

A Work-Around I found is:

wait till the ROM nearly reaches the number when it freezes. Force restart just before he reaches the critical number... It's not nice, but it worked with my phone.

I've sent my HTC one off for repair, and have used this ROM to resurrect my old Bravo while I wait. I've done everything from scratch - full reformat of the class 10 SD card etc. Thing is - everything seems really slow and a little unstable. There are big delays in opening apps, and some apps (facebook in particular) just freeze and crash. Am I just expecting too much from old hardware, or have I done something wrong?
[Desire Android Development] Sunandroid:
You are expecting too much. There has never been an official 4.0+ firmware for desire. So there is no official kernel and the deffs had to improvise cuz those things are closed source. The last really stable ROMs were based on android 2.3. And don't missunderstand, i like the work of the devs really much. I used their roms as well. But they were never really stable and will never be...
[Desire Android Development] profet:
Thanks for the honest answer! I might give a 2.3 ROM a try in that case. I love the bells and whistles of 4, but ultimately it isn't worth it! Could you recommend a 2.3 ROM, or it is just personal taste?
[Desire Android Development] AlexOB1:
That's my experience too....
[Desire Android Development] Sunandroid:
When I used a 2.3 ROM, I used CM. But I never tried something different because I had not that much experience. At all I was alway pretty happy with it...
