[HTC Wildfire S] alex_ncfc:
Sorry for responding to my own post, but I've now successfully unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone, but I was left confused by some issues that I can't find the answers to:

With my own previous phones, Sony Xperia X10 and Xperia S, I have rooted those and run custom ROMs and kernels. However, when looking for a custom ROM for the Wildfire S, there don't seem to be any kernels. Does this mean I can use any custom ROM, be it Gingerbread 2.3 to KitKat 4.4 with the same CWM Recovery that I have on the phone right now when I rooted it? Are the kernels built in to the ROMs that are downloaded?

Also another question is how do I go about increasing the storage space on the phone now that I have rooted (be it on either the stock ROM or a Custom ROM)? My friend has a 2GB MicroSD card in the phone. If I was to install a KitKat ROM for example, how could I make sure the apps could be installed and run from the SD Card? What's an easy way to allocate a portion of the 2GB for apps??

Finally, which ROM would you recommend trying on the phone rather than the stock ROM, which is not sluggish but also very functional?

So basically to sum up:

Do I need to flash kernels to use custom ROMs?

How do I increase the storage size so that many more apps can be installed?

What is a nice, fast custom ROM that you would recommend?

I'd appreciate any information to help me on this one. Like I said, with my own personal phones, which have always been Sonys, I've got used to the rooting methods on those, but I had a lot of questions with this phone so would be grateful if somebody could help get this phone to a more functional standard.

Thanks
[HTC Wildfire S] aWFSuser:
No you don't need to flash any kernels if you don't want to.

Use int2ext or Link2SD. Search about them.

The answer to the last question depends on your needs and you will have to try a bit yourself. You can start with CM10.
[HTC Wildfire S] alex_ncfc:
Thanks very much for the response aWFSuser.

1) Thanks, that's one thing I don't need to worry about then! (although, just thought, it might be nice to OverClock the CPU to 800Mhz - can I do this as standard or will I need another Kernel?)

2) I will have a read up about these, although from your experience, of the two tools you have listed, which would you say is easiest to configure? I've read before about setting up partitions on the SD card for extra app storage, but have never had to do it on my own phones

3) I will have a look around! Tempted to try some of the KitKat ROMs that I can see for download on the Development thread. If I don't have to mess around with flashing kernels, it's quite good to know that I can have many custom ROM zips on the SD card and install them without having to worry about hooking it up to the USB to flash a kernel.

Thanks again, hoping I can get some joy with this. My friend's absolute main needs with this phone is extra storage for apps - he is constantly getting "Not enough storage" errors, but I looked in his Google Play "installed list" and there was only 4 or 5 apps installed, and they were small ones!!
[HTC Wildfire S] aWFSuser:
Every ROM comes with its own kernel and most of them are overclockable. But overclocking to 800 MHz will not be a good idea if you don't want random reboots. Overclocking upto 768MHz is probably fine.

Int2ext is a script and you can flash it and forget. But Link2SD is an app which has an interface. Though it requires more configuring, it gives control on what to move and not to move and also it works in every rom I tried. I personally use Link2SD.
[HTC Wildfire S] alex_ncfc:
Perfect.

Thanks for that information. Good to know that I shouldn't overclock to the "max" 800mhz!

Also, after reading around guides on flashing the ROMs, it seems I will still have to use the USB cable in order to flash each ROMs "boot.img" file, but that's not a major problem.

I will have a look at Link2SD. Is it something you do after you have installed and configured a ROM?

Thanks very much for your advice and informative replies :good: :)
[HTC Wildfire S] aWFSuser:
No, you don't have to flash the boot.img files. They are inside the ROM zips that you will download. You will just need to flash the rom via recovery (ofcourse after wiping).

Link2SD is just an application, you can install it any time but you still have to partition your memory card.
[HTC Wildfire S] alex_ncfc:
Thanks for the heads-up, I have since figured out I do not need to flash boot.img.

Am I able to use the 2GB card with INT2EXT? I can't quite figure out how to set up a partition.

Thank you
[HTC Wildfire S] aWFSuser:
Format the 2GB card into two partitions. The first one should be FAT32 and the 2nd one ext2. Then flash the int2ext script right after flashing the rom.
[HTC Wildfire S] alex_ncfc:
Thanks - I have just formatted the SD card in CWM Recovery, as I don't have a MicroSD reader in order to format on my PC. Will this format it correctly so that FAT32 is the first partition and the second EXT2?

Many thanks
[HTC Wildfire S] alex_ncfc:
I must be doing something wrong, but not sure what!!

I have partitioned the SD card using multiple different CWM recoveries and formatted the SD-EXT partition. However, whenever I flash any INT2EXT through CWM Recovery, the ROM I am using is always messed up. One ROM I try for example, after a long bootup, just has endless FCs, starting with .com.android.phone.

If I don't flash INT2EXT, it works but obviously I have very little storage.

Don't know where I am going wrong on this one. Any ideas?
[HTC Wildfire S] aWFSuser:
Are you sure you have really two partitions on the sd-card? I have never partitioned through cwm so don't know the exact procedure. You can mount the sdcard to computer via the usb cable. BTW you have to flash the script right after flashing rom. And have you tried link2sd?
[HTC Wildfire S] alex_ncfc:
I am as sure as I can be that I have two partitions, because when I mount the USB storage so I can access it in Windows, the partition size is much smaller (i.e - if I create a 512MB EXT partition through CWM, Windows shows the 2GB capacity as 1.4-ish GB) However, CWM doesn't give me any indication on which type of EXT partition I am creating. I would like to create an EXT4 one, but it doesn't seem to give me the option. I can't seem to be able to see the partitions in Windows when I mount the USB storage either. I just see the FAT32 partition in Windows Disk Management.

As another update, I tried Link2SD instead of INT2EXT this morning. It picked up the fact I have another partition, but it asks me which type it is (EXT2, EXT3, etc) and as I do not know, I may be picking the wrong options. Anyway I think I managed to get apps installed into the EXT partition, but in Android's storage settings, it still shows 150MB internal storage - is this correct? When I see screenshots of others using tools like INT2EXT or Link2SD, their Storage settings seems to show the new storage size. So maybe it isn't working? Also, when I tried to install the Facebook app, although the app installed (and Link2SD said it was on the SD card) when I tried to start the app and it reads "Setting up Facebook", the system runs out of storage.

Thanks for all your help so far :)
[HTC Wildfire S] aWFSuser:
Link2SD would not show the internal memory as increased, you can see that from the app itself (menu->storage info). You can enable auto-linking in settings. By the way if the app is on sdcard, then its not on the 2nd partition. To move it to the 2nd partition you have to link it. Make sure to link apk,dex and lib. If you have paid version then you can also link data. As for facebook, I have not used it in a while but it may have large amount of dex files that have to be linked. Also the data may be large. And remember to reboot if storage space runs out.

Also which rom are you on?
[HTC Wildfire S] alex_ncfc:
Thanks to your post two posts earlier, I think I have cracked the storage thing :)

When it wasn't working previously, like I said, I had been doing the partitioning in CWM.

However, I managed to get the system mounted under Windows so that I could do the partitioning in Mini Partition Wizard as many recommend. Now when I install a ROM and then install Int2Ext4 straight after, the extra storage shows up in settings once the ROM is booted :)

ROM-wise, I have just been messing around with any I can get my hands on from the development thread, to see if I could get the storage problem sorted first and foremost, as this is the most important part for me (well, for my friend!) However, is there a favourite ROM of yours you'd recommend? I've tried so many over the last 2 days that I'm forgetting which does what! I tried a KK ROM which I thought was very slow, but also I tried an OWL 2013 ROM which was performing very well - but there is no keyboard! And I can't seem to be able to install one. If there's one you could recommend which is quite speedy, that'd be great :)

Thanks
[HTC Wildfire S] aWFSuser:
CM10.1 (probably owl that you mention) is good. Keyboard is probably with Gapps and you need to install it. Anyway I usually use Touchpal Keyboard which works great. KK is slow but CM10 and CM10.1 are good. For best speed use gingerbread based roms.
[HTC Wildfire S] archstanton2013:
Yes I agree, the OWL has been my stable ROM for almost 2 years.. Now I am moving towards the latest CM, the Olivier's one.. Give it a look!
[HTC Wildfire S] alex_ncfc:
Thanks for the responses guys.

Which Android version/CM is Olivier's latest based on? Have you got a link to the thread?

I agree that GB ROMs will be best for speed, but I've tried a few based on JellyBean 4.2.2 and they seem very quick, I am actually shocked (for a phone with such a low processor speed etc, it runs these modern ROMs so much better than my old Sony Xperia X10)

However, one thing I notice is, despite installing GAPPS on any of the JB/KK ROMs, there are certain Google Apps missing, and I can't install them from the market either. For example, Google Search - when I look for it in the market, it says that the app is not compatible with the Android version I am running. However, I know for sure that Google Search runs on any Android version. It let me download the new Google Now Launcher, but I can't run it because it needs Google Search installed, but I can't install it from the market.
[HTC Wildfire S] aWFSuser:
Current Google Search has official support for only armv7 devices, but our phone's processor is armv6. You can still download the apk and install but voice recognition will not work.

By olivier's latest he probably meant CM11 that you used earlier but it is slower tham 4.2.2 roms.
[Themer General Discussion] Mr.Farg:
Hi, I have had problems with the launcher ... it's usually downloaded from the store and play time to open a few seconds the screen stays black and says "Unfortunately, the Launcher application was stopped." will occur and nose to me worked great on my stock rom the mini s3, and I spent the rom cyanogendmod and have presented this problem.

Thank you very much for the attention and the launcher is great and I would like to help me to have to return it back in my cell. :good:
[Themer General Discussion] ThemerSupport:
Hi,

Try this:

1. Uninstall Themer.

2. Delete the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/ folder (removing the Exported folder within it if you saved any themes).

3. Reinstall Themer.

Also make sure that your device is running on stock DPI/resolution/display settings.
[Themer General Discussion] Mr.Farg:
Hi, I have done the three step you told me but I find the second option you give me, which is "Also make sure your device That is running on stock DPI / resolution / display settings." I can locate where exactly that you mentioned?

[Themer General Discussion] Mr.Farg:
Hello, if I spend but I installed the rom in another s3 mini and me is perfect but my phone itself with rom cm11 does not work I themer and think it is the option that gives the holder themer but can not find on my de divice.
[Themer General Discussion] Mikiabrian:
Please

Greeting,

I most tell you guys for the nice and tight app you gat, but please there is a problem now.

I'm using Gioene E6 and i have been using Themer but recently i try to upgrade to the latest version but is say Device not (Compatible).

please help
[Themer General Discussion] ThemerSupport:
If you're running a custom ROM, chances are that you might have edited certain settings. These include hiding the soft keys, editing the DPI settings or even settings your own system-wide icon pack. Keeping your phone as standard as possible means that Themer will work to its full potential.
[Themer General Discussion] Mr.Farg:
Thanks friend support, I found the solution thanks to the comments on your previous post was due to the icon pack was changed and for that reason I did not work properly on my phone themer.

Thank you very much for the help. :victory: :victory:

it was humid out so it might have contributed.

[Nexus 4 General] wulsic:
It could be that the humid weather had contributed but the pictures :eek: Did you checked the phone from the onside or there is also something from the heat/burn cause the Cable is heavily affected in my eyes the connector got burned i guess. Humid weather always sucks, It's also a phone killer sometimes, It causes my old Optimus 2X Touchscreen to not react good anymore even after i was away from the humid weather, The touch became normal for me some months after i was away from the humid weather so its not really phone friendly with all models maybe only with the Waterproof phones like the sony xperia z

I'd like to try to help you but after trying 15 times trying to get your @#$%ing "link" to work, I gave up. I understand that xda only allows direct links after a certain amount of posts, but you can still post the URL and I can copy & paste that #$%^ unlike the crap you posted.

Well, that was sad I would say :crying: have you tried checking the device is it working fine ?? Like other members said that sometime because of humidity problems occurs.

So last night i flashed a rom and when it installed i tried to add a google account. I tried to add an existing account. when i added my information it says that i couldn't sign in" there was a problem communicating with google servers." this means that i can't go into the play store. so i went into the TWRP menu to reflash a rom and it doesn't recognize the .img file that is on there. so basically right now i an app-less. any help is welcomed

i still can make calls and text, and my wifi still works. just no connection to google

my device is HTC One M8 AT&T (rooted and boot loader unlocked)

Delet your existing Google account from your phone.

Go into Settings > Apps > All and clear cache and data on all Google services:

Play Store, Play Services, Maps, G+ - the works.

Then restart and try again to add your Google account.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rps13jp:
I put Android Revolution HD as the rom i tried to install. Its not the first time i installed this particular rom. I didn't have an issue last time. I'm not sure i did a clean install as I'm pretty new to this
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berndblb:
That could be it then. Something left behind from another rom install.

As a general rule, if you switch between roms - even from the same base - I would always clean install. Only updates of the same rom are ok to dirty flash.

For a clean install (if you have TWRP) just choose Wipe and swipe the button, then re-flash the rom. You will have to install your apps and tweaks again, but that's a small price to pay for everything working. ;)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rps13jp:
if it was that simple I would have done it when I go I to twrp it doesn't recognize the .img file soit won't load ir. S o it's pretty stuck. I need to get rid of everything and start fresh

Read post 6

Anyone have this issue that after a soft-reset, when you try to scroll the program folder, it lags a bit before the icons show up? But once you 'load' the icons, the next times you access the icon it will be perfectly smooth. Is this normal, or am I the only one experiencing this?
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] hanmin:
Yes it is normal. The problematic ones are those large programes (program with large EXE) in your SD card that thats a bit long to load. Once loaded into the cache, it will be alright. Try creating a seperate folder for those large programs that you seldom use, or use a method of using a different icon for large programs. Do a search.
