I will update to 1.4 to a data2ext test rom...because:

i need the exact mount point of the first ext4 (is it data or data/app..or.......)

if anybody have it please give the info...

it will have a custom hboot (same as damo...thx for this...387-10-40...so you have 387 mb free system)

this is because:

the new files (idea from snq..thx for this)...have repacked apks for better speed and memory footprint...this works really good...but the files are much bigger...and the data partition is not enough....)

so damo has reduce the data partition to have more space on system..

but this is also not enough..so i will give you a extra pack to install the extra apps that are not really needed...

what do you think about this..??

What i must say is:

its really the fastest data2ext gb hd rom because all files are on system partition and not on data or sd-ext partition (only the weather videos are on sdcard)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
mmhh.i see..i have it off..so i did not see this error..and the widget works...so off is ok :)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] KobiP:
I have the same problem. I had to restore app for app and sometimes Titanium got closed before it could restore my data.

I also have the problem that the phone task crashes. Sometimes not for hours, sometimes within minutes a couple of times.

@idealforyou: Without swap I cannot boot the rom at all.

@Alex: You said you want to know the "mount point of the first ext4". What is it and how can I give you the Info? Regarding the HBOOT: I don't care as long as you explain how to get back to normal.

Cheers

What's the SD Speed Increase app?
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
Let's give it a try for 1.4 with new hboot.. and we'll see the performance..

[Desire Android Development] idealforyou:
The Kernel does not support Swap. Is quite strange with you:confused:
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
first version of Alex-V 1.4 is up

Changelog:

05.06.11

- data2ext s-off version for now (a2sd version will come a bit later)

- changed the apk´s to optimized one (thx for this SNQ and badneewz)...for better speed and memory footprint (this is good because the apps should not exit now because there is more ram..must be tested)

- s-off version - 387 mb system hboot -> all apk´s on system (better speed)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:

v1.4 is working great! Procentage battery is working from v1.3

How can I check if hboot 387 is installed correctly and ROM is using it ? Or maybe if is not, ROM would just crash ?

Hi Alex, I just wanted to ask if you thought about the possibilitiy to port these features of the launcher to your rom to make it more beautiful? You can see it in this video which is in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1040121. It is just a question your Rom ist incredible I just thought you would be interested because in that video this rom hast some amazing speed if you switch between the screens and the transitions ist really good looking, furthermore I don´t want to change the rom just because of these little things. Your rom is really fast and for ME stable. Have a nice Evening :D
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
Mine is working correctly.. this script is using ownhere data2ext script.

And from ownhere thread if im not wrong, is better for 2nd ext partition size is 1/3 of first ext partiton.

And my partition is the same with alex v,

Fat 32 + 1gb ext4 + 1/3 gb ext4 + 0.1gb swap.

And works good..

Why? I want full transparent clock ;)

backgroud ok transparent, but still black number
[Desire Android Development] KobiP:
Hi!

I don't get how to install the hboot. Neither via Flashboot nor via HBOOT reflash utility. Can someone explain it really step for step? I have unrevoced on my phone, I start alpharev reflash utility and this happens:

When I check my system partition it is still 250MB. What am I doing wrong? I don't understand the way without the HBOOT utility.

I did everything. Partitions are 1 GB Ext + 0,3 GB Ext + 0,1 GB Swap. My phone is already S-Off.

But 1.4 doesnt work. It is waiting on splash screen and doesnt contuniou. 1.3.1 data2sd ver. also doesnt work.

Only 1.3.1 App2sd ver is working correctly.

Any idea?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Make it new from the beginning.

1.4 need s-off because the other h-boot you must flash before you flash the rom..(because the new hboot have 387 mb internal system partition instead of 250 mb) look on page 1 for the how to

After that partition the card new...wipe all (data factory reset) and flash the rom...reboot and it should work

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] mtunca:
Thanks a lot Alex

I didnt use to install hboot so I had already S-Off. I had installed hboot and reinstalled the rom. Finally it worked.

Thanks Alex for very good rom and your help.

Hi!

I finally managed it to s-off my device and flash a different HBOOT.

I installed CyanogenMod 7 on my rooted desire. Then I started the HBOOT Tool in a Virtual Machine and installed also the new recovery. Worked on first try. Then I downloaded the SDK, installed ADB and flahed the new bigger HBOOT with the Programm "fastboot" in fastboot mode. Worked on first try. Then I flashed CM7 again to check if my system is now really >300MB. Done.

This is how the HBOOT tool should look like:

Weird that it did not work with one Alex's Roms...

Then I removed the three extra partitions (not my FAT) and made them new. Then I could finally flash v1.4 data2ext which is running now. On first boot the HTC wizard crashed, after a restard it did work.

Cheers

It's normal that there are only 2 Lock screen?

I've seen on other rom with a beautiful clock.

[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Load extra apps for 1.4 on site 1 and install the apps :) its because we have max internal mem with the new hboot and max speed..but the apps are to big...but you can easy install later on data ;)

[Desire Android Development] dreamdealer:
was on kingdom sense 3 ROM with d2ext worked OK but little too unstable for daily use so I

downloaded: Alex-V 1.4 Gingerbread Sense HD Data2ext S-off - hboot 387 mb system

flashed the hboot for the above ROM, "wiped data and factory reset" flashed the above ROM, rebooted

everything loaded up OK and a "UIDs inconsistent error" message came up pressed the "I am feeling lucky" lots for force closes, no sense or desktop. fixed the permissions with adb to see if that helped, no joy, any suggestions most welcome.

- seems formatting both ext4 partitions with gparted and re-flashing the rom solved the problem. on a side note does clockwork or RA actually wipe both ext partitions or just the one.

My phone app is always crashing in v1.4, same happend in v1.3. I have the Radio of the first post, details in my Signature. It is really annoying that I have to enter my PIN at least once per hour.

[Desire Android Development] KobiP:
Thanks, but I won't need a fix very soon! I switched now to RCMix S v2.0, it is the complete opposite of your rom. Only one ext partition on SD, System Volume only 130MB, Data is "extreme" 302MB. And until now no crash.

Cheers
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
:) it´s not...other as robo, or bad have the same size..the oposite is that he symlinked the most stuff... :) some parts are on sd-ext and some on data...but i think the rom is faster if the files are where they belong..in system...look inside the rom.zip´s and you see what i mean.

you can see this easily if you compare rom.zip size...the most roms at the moment have around the same size :)

anyway here is the fix..hope it works as i have no problems...also not with the one in the rom:

[Desire Android Development] Nutsonfire:
Hey Alex thanks for 1.3, but I flashed it and after booting and inserting my pin code, phone is stuck on white screen with HTC logo, if you press off button and turn on again there is unlock screen but when you unlock always the HTC white screen only.

Tried to flash 2 times, first time on freshly partitioned SD with 1gb EXT3 partition, second time I wipe all before flashing again.

Edit : suddenly it worked but is has been sitting there for a good 20 minutes with the screen off before I could finish setup, a lot more time than 1.2. Class 6 8gb SD card.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
mmhh...run good on mine...but i load up over night a version with another data2sd script...think its more speedy than this version... :)

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] Nutsonfire:
Yeah for me 1.2 was more fast, this is fast when running tasks but when clicking on things there is often some little lockups.
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
Oh yes it's time for HD! v1.3 on the way down, going to try app2whatever or whatever it's called!

Btw Alex, it's Xmas, take a break man!:cool:

EDIT: Actually, I'll hold on data2whatever until after tomorrow when I've done the last day of Angry Birds Seasons, don't want to find that I can't restore it! v1.3 with a2sd+ going on now...

Thx you Alex for a nice Christmas present.

And I can not flash V2 with this error:

E: Can´t format SDEXT

E: Failutre at line 8: format SDEXT

I tried format my SD card with EXT2,3,4 with the same problem (with a full wipe) ..
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
Angry Birds Xmas Edition done!

Btw Alex, here's my report of v1.3hd v1 and v1.2hd...

v1.3hd v1 = bad experience! When I first flashed, it got to booting up, I entered my SIM pin, entered network and locale info and it just hung on the HTC white screen for over an hour. So I reflashed, this time got past full setup wizard then it started downloading all apps automatically (even ones I had uninstalled at some point because I didn't want them!) and was reeeeeeal slow, gave it another hour or so and it was just frozen. Eventually I got into settings menu and it was showing 699MB free?! It shouldn't have becaue I did NOT run the data2whatever.zip file in recovery...

v1.2hd = Better experience.... I then flashed v1.2HD (btw, this and above was with full wipes (data/cache/dalvik/batt stats) each time). This flashed fine, seemed to be fine on speed but then I started removing apps and must have removed a htc app that I should have left because it just crashed and stayed on htc boot screen. Also, tbh, I wasn't that impressed with the Sense hd options over standard Sense because it's not as if we can set up a Sense account is it, with a standard Desire? So I nandroid restored back to v1.8 and all is well.

My verdict on hd so far is I am not going to bother until a) Standard Desire owners can make use of extra HTC Sense account features and b)the freeze ups you mentioned that are in the original hd are fixed by a new ruu.

Until then, sticking to v1.8 and hopefully you will continue with this as well as HD, v1.9 to infinity and beyond! I would like to see your standard Sense ROM making use of data2whatever though, are you planning this?

Merry Xmas to all who are celebrating :-)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
No problems here...

Maybe format the card complete...make a fat32 at first...and than make a 1gb ext3....

or check in recovery (format sd ext..or check mount options)

or delete that command in the update script of the rom.zip

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Ok..thanks for summery...so you said 1.3 hd v2 is good in speed :) (if you don´t delete things ;) )

But i must said: You can enter or make an account on htc sense com...I use it

As next point i will also make a new normal version with 2.29 :) (1.9)

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
Damn bro, you on the forums today too?!

Correction: In summary V1.2HD seemed good speed for me, I haven't tried v1.3HD v2.

Oh what you CAN create an account?! And use ALL the features??? Why is this not advertised in CAPITALS by all the HD devs?! (Or have I missed it?)
