My own testing is showing that if your sdcard is not formatted correctly with ext3 you will get bootloops with A2SD+. You need to format the card before you apply the mod as the instructions say, or it won't work.

I'm working on an update that will cause A2SD+ to be ignored if your ext partition is not set up properly.

edit: Update is working, just requires more testing. This is logcat output for a bad setup with the update applied:

I//system/xbin/busybox( 61): +++ Starting A2SD+

I//system/xbin/busybox( 61): mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /sd-ext failed: Invalid argument

I//system/xbin/busybox( 61): +++ A2SD+ mount FAILED -- format your ext partition
[Desire Android Development] malaga82:
I don't know if could help, i just write what i did.

I used "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition" after booted in recovery and SD in "mount usb" mode.

Then i used that program to erase old FAT32 partition and made 2 partitions, first one FAT32 of 2.90Gb and a second one of 1Gb at least EXT3 partition. The program made his work, then i reboot in recovery and, in mount option, i formatted sd and sd-ext partition too, and checked that recovery can see them and mount.

Now i wiped all, installed rom+powersaving, checked everything works fine and reboot again in recovery. Installed app2sd zip and rebooted normally.

Then i reboot to recovery, wiped delvik-cache(in advanced menu) and installed fuse zip. Now rebooted to the system and that's all...everything now works fine.

I hope my experience could be useful for someone, at least just remember this: don't install app2sd and fuse togheter, cause this is why i got loop at boot.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
In my testing I am able to install fuse and a2sd together without any problem. With the original a2sd it will mess the system up if you have a second partition which isn't formatted properly and will cause endless bootloops. With this update I'm about to add it will boot normally, you just won't have a2sd working.

edit: update available
[Desire Android Development] malaga82:
Good to know then :)
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
There's an important flash update.

Version 1.0 (now removed) causes no harm, but doesn't properly update flash. The new version is unfortunately slightly too large to attach in the forum so you'll have to download it from the external link.
[Desire Android Development] bluppfisk:
What is the right way to flash app2sd+ with wipe/nandroid?

Is it:

nandroid backup, wipe, flash app2sd+, nandroid restore

or is it:

nandroid backup, wipe, nandroid restore, flash app2sd+ ?

In other words: will app2sd+ be overwritten by my restore?
[Desire Android Development] gersen:
the updated flash package 1.1 doesn't install, it fail with this message:

E:Failure at line 7:

[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
nandroid backup (for your current rom), wipe, flash this rom, flash a2sd, boot.

If you already have this rom, do a nandroid back up in case a2sd breaks things.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
It's because you have installed A2SD+ - select to mount /sd-ext and re-run it.
[Desire Android Development] bluppfisk:
aha. so if I do a2sd and then I restore, I might just as well not have done it?

Thanks :)
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
You can confirm the Flash upgrade by going to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ in your phone's browser and it should say 10.1.92.8 installed.
[Desire Android Development] gersen:
yes, you are right, I have A2SD+ installed... but, I'm sorry to bug you, where or how can I mount the ext partition? Can't find the option in the custom recovery.

btw, great rom!
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Thanks :)

Go down to mounts and storage and it'll list sd-ext as an option. The update script needs access to your ext partition to update flash if you've booted with A2SD, since it's no longer on the phone.

unresponsive area on the screen

I updated to this rom yesterday (second version init.d + the powersaving mod + flash update) and all of a sudden a part of my touch screen became unresponsive. to be exact, its in the middle spread horizontally.

ive googled a bit and came across this post: hxxp://androidforums.com/htc-desire/63425-brand-new-htc-desire-touchscreen-problem.html

does anyone know whether this is related to this rom?? i re-flashed it to the old pre-rooted froyo rom & open desire 4.11, still it wont go back to normal!

hboot: 0.80

radio: 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2

any help is much appreciated :)
[Desire Android Development] gersen:
I'm on the "Android system recovery", the one with all the green text on the black background and there isn't such an option.

what should I use instead to install this update?

there is a way to mount the ext partition using the terminal on my linux machine, something like ./adb-linux shell mount whatever?

Thank you for your help :)
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Are you using clockwordmod recovery? I'm not sure where the option is in amonra.

For clockworkmod it's the second option from the bottom.

You can do it from adb if you want, yeah. Just enter:

adb shell mount /sd-ext

Is that with v1.1 of the mod?
[Desire Android Development] roanor:
Yep, it is "A2SD+ (1.1) - updated"

Still hangs with the white HTC branded screen...
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Have you deodexed the rom? It will take a very long time to boot the first time after enabling it.

Otherwise can you PM me with the output from 'adb shell ls -l /data/' and 'adb shell ls -l /sd-ext/'.
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Brilliant idea this for a rom. I think i will install rom, a2sd+. Then Deodex (this is only for system apps right?) and then my own BluFrost theme :D
[Desire Android Development] gersen:
Ok, installed through clockworkmod after mounting the ext partition and it worked :)

thank you again for your help and this wonderful rom!

keep up the good work! :))
[Desire Android Development] themrfox:
So... I tried about 20-times with no success (

probably, you could build a version with integrated a2SD+
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
I'm not releasing a ROM other than stock. If I did include the A2SD+ functionality it would be exactly the same as applying the mod.

I've been unable to reproduce any problems with A2SD. If you get a problem ensure you are using 1.1 and perform a full wipe and ensure the ext partition is formatted.

[Desire Android Development] Rew64:
I don't think you have to rename it, I never!
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
It sounds like you might be trying to run this in stock recovery, you must be rooted with custom recovery.

Is there a menu to UNLOCK mod we can add to this? Not menu to WAKE as that is different!!!
[Desire Android Development] kielkiam:
First you must downgrade to 2.1 (follow the link in my signature)

After you can root using Unrevoked3 (it also install clockwork recovery)

At the end you can flash a modded Rom
[Desire Android Development] diggedy:
sorry if ive missed this but ive had a read through. How much storage space to you have on this rom after initial install?
[Desire Android Development] tasty_boy:
will you make some update to 2.10.405.2 (rooted) version?
[Desire Android Development] rock3r:
hi! i'm loving this rom so far, but it has some issues. i have installed it 24 hours ago on my no-carrier desire and it already froze three times, in a seemingly random pattern (no common things between crashes - active app, etc)

i installed the second version with these addons: powersaving-modules-g6a358a9-12-signed, tweaks-11-signed, updateflash-signed, add_a2sd-signed

edit: oh i almost forgot, i also flashed dsp manager and smooth sense white 1.0c

i also tried updating these addons just an hour ago: add_a2sd-11-signed, update_apps-signed, updateflash-11-signed

trying to flash all in a single pass with clockworkmod recovery resulted in a bootloop on stock android bootanimation (!), so i did a nandroid restore and tried again to add them. i tried to add updateflash-11-signed and update_apps-signed together, but updateflash zip gave an error:

I:Set boot command "boot-recovery"

i also tried again to flash updateflash zip but got the same error. is it related to a2sd? also, can i just flash a2sd+ 1.1 over current 1.0 in the rom? or do i have to do anything in particular? thank you very much guys!

EDIT2: adfree doesn't seem to work at all, but i have installed the tweaks 1.1 and did the "update hosts" in the app. any suggestion? in mcr r8 it used to work...
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
You need to mount sd-ext to get the flash update to work if you're running A2SD. In clockwork recovery select mount (near the bottom).

The 1.1 A2SD+ update isn't really necessary if you already have it running, it just adds a check to prevent a possible bootloop.

I'm going to update the powersaving modpack again as I think the undervolt settings may still be a problem.
[Desire Android Development] rock3r:
thank you very much. i'm trying it immediately.

EDIT: ok, it worked. kudos! any idea what the freezing source might be? it's the only drawback of this great rom, atm
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
I think the freezes are almost certainly related to undervolt. Try the new update I just uploaded.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Adfree Android should work fine, just install it after the tweak mod, don't select the symlink option.
[Desire Android Development] rock3r:
ok, did it. i'll let you know. thx!

oh, i had the symlink selected by mistake. i deselected it, but now it gives a generic "error" - no further infos - when i try to update the hosts file.
[Desire Android Development] leerock:
Thanks a lot for your excellent work.....

Just a few questions

do i need to put apply the deodex patch in order to use the exsprsso mod ala brightscene?

it seems the deodex patch does not work coz after applying it i still have 130 mb left in internal and i see odex files in system apps....
[Desire Android Development] peterme58:
Hello there i am new to desire and i wanted to ask can i use the a2sd+ mod in

any rooted 2.10 rom

or it was made only for the one mentioned here?

thanks in advance.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Did you get any errors when you tried to apply it?
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Any more mods planned? Trackpad to unlock would be good. So one tap to wake one to unlock :)
[Desire Android Development] leerock:
no i didn t get any errors....

i tried 2 times and had same results

I wiped everything as always,

installed the rom,

applied the deodex patch ( no errors)

and rebooted.....

it also produces a problematic widget named O_o htc in widgets menu....

130 mb free in internal storage

and expresso brightsilence theme installed and almost working fine... except first error i ve noticed after applying the theme is that destroys the message app.....
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
All right, I just tested it and there's a problem. I'm updating it now.

edit: Uploading new version - should fix any problems.
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
This rom with my BluFrost theme applied...

ScreenShot by ephumuris2010, on Flickr
[Desire Android Development] leerock:
ok thanks a lot
[Desire Android Development] leerock:
the rom needs to be deodexed in order to apply these themes right?
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
I've just installed the mod on my phone, it's working fine. It took ages to boot up (compressed dalvik plus A2SD on top). The upload should be done in 5 mins or so.

edit: update available.
[Desire Android Development] leerock:
thanks m8!!!!!

the only reason i need to be deodexed is to apply a modded sense theme...

but I don t know if it s actually needed...

(Can anybody answer this question?)

Deodexing takes a lot internal space though...

why do you recommend compressing dalvik only for advanced users?

would i face any problems if i try to apply it?
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
The rom info says frame work already deodexed. The update is for deodexing system apps.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Compressed dalvik hasn't been tested hugely but it seems to work fine. On a typical deodexed set up (with very few extra apps) you'll save at least 20mb of internal storage. And if you're using a deodexed ROM without A2SD that's important.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
framework-res is deodexed but the rest of it isn't - the mod makes the phone fully deodexed.
[Desire Android Development] leerock:
ok got confused over here.....:)

do i need to fully deodex in order to use themes?

or does it depends on the king of the theme...????

i only need to use sence mods...
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
I can't see link for the updated de odexed?

I thef theme file contains only framework-res then no need to deodex.
[Desire Android Development] Rob_norb17:
Thanks for this ROM, something simple with a few nice optional tweaks which is just what I was after :)
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
The update is large - the link's contained in the description rather than attached.
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Great getting it now!

Any plans for adding track pad unlock mod? So two clicks wakes and unlocks?
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
I think that app has a few bugs. Deselect the symlink option, then reboot the phone and try it again. That got rid of the problem when I tried it.
[Desire Android Development] malaga82:
In 2 days i don't have freezes or reboot or nothing seems related to undervolt...im going to keep undervolt :)

What problems do you have with undervolt?
[Desire Android Development] LazyElijah:
i did it. all right. thanks a lot
[Desire Android Development] kartikb:
Just wanted to know would the rom still boot up if i placed the deodexed app and framework in the actual zip rom file rather than having to flash it after flashing the zipped rom file?
[Desire Android Development] fatpandas:
has anyone else been experiencing lots of random reboots from this ROM? from what i've read, it only seems to be me but i wanted to check.

installed via ROM manager and everything is working fine. just seems to reboot a lot randomly. and sometimes it will loop reboots. not really sure whats going on. did wipe before flash.

btw, i'm using the first one. don't plan on modding any further
[Desire Android Development] Rew64:
I've installed the first ROM over the top of another Froyo stock rooted ROM and have had no problems. :cool:
[Desire Android Development] leerock:
This is the best rom by far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I ve tested latest auraxtsence, leedroid 2.0b and mimis rom

and although they worked pretty nicely i ve found lots of bugs

and sometimes they were slowing a bit on some tasks....

then i installed this and i m pretty amazed!!!!!

if you want a clean and REALLY fast rom then this is a must!

and then you can add whatever mod you want...

This is much preferable than living others to decide what mod you want or not :cool:

wiped

installed

deodexed

installed expressomod ala BrightSilence

compressed dalvik

and that gave me a FREE 90mb internal storage!!!!!!

then i added the undervolt and the tweaks

it seems i m not going back to those roms again :)

except maybe the mimis one...

Here s a homescreen snapshot
[Desire Android Development] sookster54:
Reflashed with the updated and added A2SD and all is working good now. Though, I accidentally bought a class 2 8GB SDcard when I thought it was a class 4, so I guess dalvik-cache is gonna suffer a bit.
[Desire Android Development] virgoman:
Thank you very much. I've finally done:)
[Desire Android Development] DEGE:
Some experiences:

I have had both random reboots and freezing screens with this config(s):

2:nd ROM

add_a2sd (first version)

updated flash (kept crashing webkit browser, both first and second version)

tweaks_11

powersavepack (first version)

I reappliead the second ROM and only applied a2sd 2:nd version.

Works great!

:)
[Desire Android Development] jamesbrampton:
Can i just flash this mod over the old one or do i need to wipe everything again?
[Desire Android Development] Moe5508:
Thanks for adding the deodex option - now I can take this for a much deserved test drive!
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Can someone host the deodexing files? None of them stupid sites want to work for me! They all get around half way then fail to download.
[Desire Android Development] Unit_A:
Thank you for this rom and those great addons.

I really enjoy to be able to choose what i want ( or not ) !

Btw what did you update in your powersaving pack ?

It was working perfectly for me.

It is going to be less effective than it was ? (more conservative settings maybe ? )

Thanks ! :)
[Desire Android Development] kartikb:
Is it possible to have a mod up to have reboot option in power menu 3 in 1 which is in leedroid's rom and a few others, it seems like a handy feature.... cheers
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Here you go this one should work ;)
[Desire Android Development] Moe5508:
Looking forward to the Dalvik-Cache optimisation pack. This is really looking great each and every day.
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Sorry to quote myself lol but just confirming the reboot mod i posted does work for this rom :)

EDIT:

I think this rom should be renamed to Sense Build-a-Rom! :D

If people want themes for this rom i have made one with Galaxy S Style icons including battery with percentage. Anyone interested? I think themes should be added to the first post too and make this the ultimate custom sense rom. From stock to whatever you like!

[Desire Android Development] kartikb:
I did try that from another thread by snq- in which he has posted these files and did the flash the one which you posted on this but it doesn't seem to work, after applying the flash, the screen just keeps hung on to the white HTC logo screen...
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
My guess is you are using an odexed version please apply deodex files then that mod. I'm using it right now!
[Desire Android Development] malaga82:
What does it change in the new powersaving pack compared to the "old" 1.2?

I read "adjust undervolt"...it's more conservative than before?
[Desire Android Development] kartikb:
i did deodex it before flashing the zip file... i'll try it again, see what happens...
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
1.3 of the powersaving modpack reduces the undervolt settings, as some people have reported freezes/reboots. If 1.2 works absolutely fine for you there is no reason to update.

You can always apply a mod over an older version in this rom, no wipe is necessary.
[Desire Android Development] malaga82:
Ah, ok...i'll keep 1.2 then.

Thanks again for answer my stupid question :)

Just use a program like SwiFTP to access SD card, over wifi or 3G, and don't use "usb disk" mode...unless it's strictly necessary.

[Desire Android Development] themrfox:
Still have bootlop... It's impossible, I tried about 50 times...

Absolutely fresh and clean ROM, 2 partitions - fat32 and ext3(different ways for creation ext - amd recovery, clockwork recovery, root manager, acronic disk suite), no swap partition.

It could have any connection with 0.75 bootloader? Early I was used this ROM and a2sd+ working great - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=741663

Yes! It could. I think that old bootloaders use a smaller boot partition.

Can you try updating to 0.80/0.83? (My downgrade tool will actually upgrade you)
