Yes.. Correct..

As melethron (creator of data2whatever) said that it depends not on class of the card, but controller of the card.

The card that have good controller can write small files in huge number faster.. while class of the card is only about read and write speed of big file..

What did you want to flash?

a2sd+ version is only for stock hboot..

if you already flash 387 hboot, so you can try data2ext, data2w or amarullz version..

is up to you..

data2ext with 2 ext4 partition is very fast,,

maybe you can compare it..

:p

Nice Alex..

so you can make kernel that is like..made for desire!

:);):)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Yes..your thinking is correct...2dext 387 version have all on nand..

On this mix roms its hard to make a complete nand a2sd version..also if the apk's have a other size....cools version is only 2.1 :)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
What...try the d2ext 387 mb version...after setup...do a reboot..qnd it should be fast...i really have no problems...i also can make a video..if not believe...

If you think it can be the sd card...try a2sd rom (normal hboot)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
@ all its not easy to say wich sd card is good...i did not buy one for the phone yet...i use the 4gb card that come with the phone and have no problems :)
[Desire Android Development] Birdskenburg:
Thanks!

I'm thinking about creating a modified version of A2SD, with as many apps on NAND as possible (because there's about 70MB of wasted space on /system), by changing the updater-script so that it doesn't symlink system/sd/app_s to system/app, but instead:

- keeping system/app on NAND, containing the most important system apps which are used the most (using the 70MB of space) AND;

- by creating individual symlinks to the remaining, not-so-important, apps (which don't fit on /system/app anymore, and are therefore stored at sd-ext). eg.: symlink("/system/sd/app_s/a.apk","/system/app/a.apk"), as well as the odex files.

Things like flashlight.apk, calculator.apk and so on can remain on sd-ext.

If you like I'll test it and share the update.zip.

But, while assessing all the system apps, I stumbled upon app_s/fusion.apk, which is 48,8MB (!), by far the biggest app on the ROM. It is important, as it contains the essential information for the theme of Sense 3.0 parts (esp. lockscreen). So I extracted the fusion.apk file, and I saw that the 'assets' folder contains three themes, namely BlueSky, Burgundy and Default. I believe 'default' is the only theme needed in this rom, because we can't change skins in this rom (because it's base is 2.1; BlueSky and Burgundy only contain images and info related to the corresponding sense 3.0 skins).

Now, I was thinking, as the BlueSky and Burgundy folders are 21MB together, we could remove those folders, saving a lot of space:). Maybe it's interesting to try and delete those, in order to create a faster a2sd rom by the method above. The problem is, I can delete those folders ofcourse, sign the apk, but I don't know how to create a new .odex file:( Could you help me do that Alex-V (i dunno if it takes much time)? If you're interested ofcourse;)

Thanks in advance!
[Desire Android Development] ckpv5:
You can do that... deleting the BluSky and Burgundy folders if you're not going to use those themes.

And the best part is, you don't need to odex fusion.apk as there is no need for it to be odexed. If you check the dalvik-cache for non-odex ROM, there is no cache created for fusion.apk. You need to odex only app that have dalvik-cache in non-odex ROM. You also can delete classex.dex in it if there is one, it will still works as it is supposed to.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
yep...yes :)

and yes iḿ interested ;) :)

thx

Alex-V, its real to make firmware (2.1 +3.0 sense) ODEX without any EXT partition? as CoolS V9 only with elements 3.0, bcz v9 is fastest rom for desire with normal font (not port from 4.3 screen)

its will be BOMB

of course you may cut stupid HTC stuff (office, Stock, twitter, Laputa ....) but this is even better:)

UPD.

Ultralight ODEX

Alex-V_1.7.5_Sense_2.1+3.0_normal_hboot but installed 100% on 250MB System partition No need for S-OFF and custom MTD n EVEN SDCARD - my dream :)
[Desire Android Development] Birdskenburg:
Thanks! I finally succeeded to shrink fusion.apk from 48.8MB to 28.3MB. Deleting the directories didn't work:( So I downloaded m10editor to modify the m10 files in it, changing data.xml and deleting all the dat files in the Burgundy and BlueSky folder. Tested it, and it works perfectly.

Here's the link if someone wants it: http://www.multiupload.com/BJJ6MT6JLH

Now I'm gonna try modifying the updater-script so that the most important apps (like Rosie.apk, fusion.apk, Idlescreen apk's, etc.) are on NAND, to see if it makes the rom faster;) I'll report back.

---------- Post added at 02:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:44 PM ----------

I'm no expert, but I think it's gonna be quite difficult to accomplish... I've checked every system apk in the rom, and it'll never fit in a 250MB system. But it doesn't really matter because the most important apps do fit NAND, by putting things like calculator, flashlight, live wallpapers, some useless widgets, maps/youtube (which are updated in market anyway, so they are on sdext), etc, etc

its real - RuHD (ruhdrom.ru), but m0napx not updating this ROM and that custom has bugs and rom DEODEX:( Alex-V can make bomb - ruHD+ODEX-f***ing htc suxx!
[Desire Android Development] tajimura:
Well, in fact, m0narx is working on RuHD 3 (based on Sense 3.5), and also there is DeltaPro from mihailpro which is also 2.1+3.0 and 250 MB fit. And what about odex - new Titanium Backup can odex system (has tried it just today, works fine).
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Interesting facts here :)

think Birdskenburg go a good way... :)

@bookerok: did this ru rom have all apks or are some basics apps out..? Also if we odex the rom size will become a bit bigger - anyway will have a look to this rom (maybe i also can learn)

@tajimura: yes right...tb can odex...but only system apps i think...not framework or..?

with kind regards
[Desire Android Development] bookerok:
Alex-V,which files correspond to the elements of the sensе 3.0? maybe I'll cut systems\app that fit to 250MB

I have already integrated the sense 3.0 style messaging app and USB menu, and want lockcreen :) maybe it will be as update today Wildfire S (sense 2.1 + lockscreen of 3.0 odex )

[Desire Android Development] billyJ:
new 1.7.5 rom is booting in about 2 minutes, with all my 200 apps installed, how is it possible, it was well over 10-12 minutes on 1.7, i did flash rom, then rlt patch, restored my apps with titanium and phone is flying now.

one thing pissing me off is that somehow titanium has broken my google account and i am not able to see apps in Market/My applications. Nothing helps, fixing links, creating new ones. I cannot remove apps on webpage, in My library section, so it it not possible to clear app list.

i created new google account and Market works fine with it, My application tab works just like it should

be warned to mess with your Android Market account, you can end up with 2 accounts in Market to be able to see there are new updates to your apps, nd if you purchased any app, you won't be able to download them.

2. Alex-V 1.7.5 Gingerbread Sense HD Data2ext normal hboot need partition: FAT32 + 1GB Ext4 + 0.3GB Ext4 + 0.1GB Swap (Optional)

3. Alex-V 1.7.5 Gingerbread Sense HD Data2whatever -normal hboot need partition: FAT32 + 1GB Ext4 + 0.1GB Swap (Optional)

If you S-Off, you can try to flash 387 Hboot with fastboot or android flasher.. and after that you can choose one of this ROM:

1. Alex-V 1.7.5 Gingerbread Sense HD Data2ext S-off - hboot 387 mb system need partition: FAT32 + 1GB Ext4 + 0.3GB Ext4 + 0.1GB Swap (Optional)

[Desire Android Development] Birdskenburg:
Hi everyone,

I've modified the A2SD+ version of Alex-V 1.7.5, so that the most important system apps are on NAND (in the normal version, all system apps are on SD-EXT). Tested it, and it seems very responsive (i flashed it 30 min ago though, so maybe it's a placebo-effect;)).

For anyone interested, here it is: http://www.multiupload.com/I6X56C970A

bash-3.2# adb shell df -h
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/block/mtdblock3 250.0M 241.4M 8.6M 97% /system
/dev/block/mtdblock5 147.6M 16.4M 131.3M 11% /data
/dev/block/mtdblock4 40.0M 1.1M 38.9M 3% /cache
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 984.3M 185.6M 798.7M 19% /system/sd

As you can see, 97% of /system is used:D

Please note that this is only for test purposes (to test if the ROM can be made faster), this ROM is all Alex-V's work, I just replaced/deleted/symlinked some things so that it fits /system better. I've done the following

- Weather animations back on sdcard again (- 26MB)

- Modified fusion.apk (48MB -> 28MB)

- Removed most wallpapers (- 8MB)

- Removed laputa debris

- Changed back to gingercakes-0.9 again

- Moved almost every ringtone, notification sound and alarm to sdcard and symlinked (-10MB)

- Modified updater-script

- Deleted most apps from /data/app (just to shrink the zip file)

- The following apps are now on NAND:

Had the same problem with the market. Searched for another market apk (3.3.11 from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1328679) in general Desire section and installed this app on top of the old one. Replaces it automatically and all is fine now. All installed apps by TB are shown. I'm on the same version of the rom as you are.

BTW this is the best Desire-rom I've come across (and I've tried many). Smooth, good battery-life, nice tweaks but still as stock as possible. And loads of memory. :)

Good job Alex!

double "local" folder

hi all... i noticed that there are 2 folders in a2sd version called "local", both have "bootanimation.zip" and "downanimation.zip" inside. They are stored in \data and \data\apps.

a curious thing is that for me the boot animation is not the one contained in these zips (they are the same one) but a standard "android" animation...

is it normal?

thank you in advance...

Hi , Just started to use this rom and it may be a stupid question but how do you get to access the cpu govoners in this rom , all the other roms i have used have had daemon tools installed and this one does not ??

Is it hidden away in the settings or are people using setcpu or something ???

Thanks for any help....

[Desire Android Development] aldi0815:
Hey Alex,

first of all - I'd like to say that I enojoy this ROM very much!

Please forgive me the maybe stupid/naive question, but I don't seem to get the swap to work... apperently neither the snq- nor the gingercackes kernel supports swap. When I check the logcat during boot up it states "Function not implemented" for the swapon command (I have partitioned accoring to your propsed scheme: fat, ext, ext, swap). Same thing happens when I try this manualy on the adb shell "swapon: /dev/block/mmcblk0p4: Function not implemented"

If you have any thoughts on this I'd highly appreciate it!

Keep up the nice work!

Cheers

(another) Alex
[Desire Android Development] billyJ:
Alex it is not your rom problem, I linked some of apps that i had not purchased from market and my google account got broken (anyway this was messed up with all the aps I had ever installed on my phone), in the end I deleted my mail and setup a new one, now I have a clear My library section in https://market.android.com and I am able to relink all the market apps I use on my phone, but now I do not link everything just to avoid problems, because if you link a paid app, it is marked as Purchased in the market and you will never be able to buy it in the future. Google will not remove Purchased Tag.

There need to be some improvements done to market section.

i didn''t install the radio unfortunately because i just found out later.

flashing seemed to work fine but now i'm stuck on the boot splash and the phone stays so for 10 min and doesn' boot up.

i can enter recovery, fastboot and hboot.

i tried to put stock ruu but install didn't work.

can someone give me any suggestions please?

sd card has all partitions needed (fat32 ext4 ext4 swap).

thanks in advance
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
You should flash 387mb HBOOT first in fastboot before you flash Data2ext S - off - hboot 387 mb system or amarullz data2sd/ext script 387mb hboot system ROM.

If you use stock hboot, flash normal version of this ROM...

Has downloaded from here http://www.multiupload.com/N0B1RHYFPW bravo_alphaspl_387-10-40.img FASTBOOT, BOOTLOADER do not see an image. I rename in PB99IMG. All the same does not see. I stitch through AmonRA, but in FASTBOOT changes nothing. Whereas at an insertion of section on Bravo CM7-r2, AlphaRev changes on CM7-r2.

What should be written at an insertion on 387-10-40?
[Desire Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
I'm not sure what are you asking for (probably a bad english, mine or yours :D )

I think you are trying to flash the 387mb hboot. Just follow the steps in alpharev.nl or use android flasher, or qtadb (those are pc tools) or use RMD recovery, wich let you flash images (hboot, radios...)

I'm not sure if you need to flash bravo_downgrader before flashing the d2ext hboot, if it's necessary the program or the recovery will just show an error.

But as you have changed the name and the extension of the hboot, I fully recommend you to download it again, cause changing the extension may have lead to corrupt the hboot, and that could brick your phone.
[Desire Android Development] Birdskenburg:
Hi,

This is my second modded version of Alex-V's A2SD ROM (v1.7.5). This version is more responsive, because important system apps are on NAND (either on /system or /cache), while in the original A2SD version every system app is on SD. It might be interesting for those of you who have:

- S-ON or S-OFF with stock hboot, and/or;

- A class 10 card (which generally doesn't work well with DATA2SD).

Thought I'd share it, if anyone is interested. The main thing I've done is reducing the size of /system by (re)moving less important files to SD, allowing most important system apps to be moved there, ánd by using the /cache directory (which contains useless space) for system apps. For me, this version is noticably faster than the original.

Link: http://www.multiupload.com/F7VJM6SJTM

(just like A2SD: stock hboot, fat32+ext4)

bash-3.2# adb shell df -h
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/block/mtdblock3 250.0M 242.5M 7.5M 97% /system

[Desire Android Development] Helle85:
what hboot did i need for a2sd+?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
blackhawk is right...

@dimson75...first thing...are you s-off...?

if not dont flash this s-off version...you need to be s-off to change you h-boot...before you flash the rom....do this with many tools like fastboot comander or android flasher...or a recovery that can handle such things....or use the adb (sdk) way i descript on first page (takes 2 min)....the same way is descriped on alpharev site....

after this make the partitions..(for the d2ext 387 version: big fat32 +1-2gb ext4 + 0.3gb ext4 + 0.1 swap) the best with gparted (or a live cd)

now you can flash the rom...and be sure you dont have cm7 hboot before...as you need to downgrade the hboot first (downgrader on alpharev site)

with kind regards..Alex
