So you're saying the ROM itself is installed on the sdcard? What happens if I remove the SD? The phone won't even boot?

Also, I would like to inform droidzone about some usefull things that could improve the ROM's speed.

Ownhere has developed a sqlite patch that removes the sync from the sqlite. It says it improves the I/O speed a lot (whatever that means). Here is the topic: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=903507 maybe droidzone could adapt it to this ROM?

Another thing I would like to recommend to all of you, is aligning the ext partition. Melethron (avaritia HD chef) has made a flashable update zip that automaticly updates the partition type to ext4 and aligns it. From what I understood aligning the sd card is like defragmenting the PC's HDD, so that should prove really useful. For me the phone booted normally after aligning the SD card with that. I flashed the ROM, booted, then turned off and rebooted in recovery. Flashed the alignment.zip and then the data2sd installer, rebooted and the phone works ok. Here is the link to melethorn's ROM, the alignment.zip is in the 2nd post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=877546

I am currently restoring a bunch of apps with titanium then will do a quadrant full benchmark with a class 6 card aligned, ext4. Will post back with results.

With regards to me not being able to update gmail.. I did what u said droidzone and cleared cache, reboot, then try again but its still failing.. its saying package not signed correctly?.. not good with pushing via adb so I will wait for a zip file.. thanks for trying though.. weird one eh!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Hi..Thanks..

StarBurst already comes with an integrated version of sqlite patched as per Ownhere's code.

I'll need a couple of tests over several days to confirm that the alignment code made by melethron is compatible with the Rom. Sibere may already be familiar with it though. If it's compatible and useful, we'll integrate it into Sibere's code and add credits to melethron. :)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Weird that not everyone gets these kind of errors! Esp us who install and reinstall hundreds of times per week. :D

Thank you for the donation, Sean. :)

That would be best. However the backup you need is Titanium. Not Nandroid.

Signup/Signature error? You shouldnt have entered your gmail details before flashing the data2sd installer, since that is a cocktail recipe for forced closes!

The update doesnt seem like anything major..Willing to wait for some days?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
StarBurst is now available from ROM Manager

Exciting news to the flash maniacs out there-StarBurst ROM, DataSD Installer/Reinstaller, and other addons are now available on ROM Manager. The advantage is that you can check for the latest version via the app and also get direct access to the downloads. So faster downloads. You might also get betas. There is also the option of Over the air updates.

Please DO NOTE THAT FLASHING THE DOWNLOADED ZIP VIA ROM MANAGER ITSELF IS NOT RECOMMENDED

Because, as you know immediately after the Rom install, you're supposed to flash the reinstall. Rom manager reboots once an update is finished, which will not be good. I believe that there are programmable options in Rom manager which allows flashing one zip after another. I'll try to work out its quirks.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:

Of course pal... no hurry here - appreciate it whenever it comes! :D

@ droidzone

hey dude,after updating to 1.3.2....my edge connection keeps disconnecting.

using 32.54 radio....can i flash the radio zip again to solve this issue. which is the best radio for starbust rom....

thanks in adavance
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Flashing a radio in StarBurst is just like doing it in other Roms. Take a Nandroid backup and flash radio. If there are any issues like reboots, do it after full wipe and before data2sd installer is flashed.

The latest radio should be tried first..

Hope you know that flashing radios is a risky procedure and that if you interrupt the procedure, the phone may be permanently bricked.

Beta code fixed. Plus updated ROM.

Working together, Sibere and I have solved the bugs with the beta code. Those who were using it know that the beta code had an enormous performance increase. It was Data2SD on steroids. We've identified the lines of code which created problems with kernel flashes and have eliminated them.

We're now doing final tests with the code-testing Titanium restores and application installs on Data2sd. If all goes well, it will be re-released today tagged beta. I will also release an updated Rom today. Nothing major-just app updates.

The adventurous amongst you may opt to use the beta.

StarBurst 1.3.3.1 and Data2sd beta & stable fixed code is now online

Changelog

Rom 1.3.3.1:

Updated Gmail, Titanium, MybackupRoot

Stable mke2fs binary for Data2sd

Stable Data2sd code: 1.1tiny

Corrections in code as per Sibere's advice. Better logging.

Bug was detected in previous stable Data2sd code too which could also cause bootloops like beta code. Fixed

BetaData2sd code: W5f

Corrections in code as per Sibere's advice. Better logging.

Kernel bootloop issue fixed-Hopefully for good!

Though we'd previously surmised that the bootloops were due to a deodexed rom, now it seems that IO Scheduling caused the issue. Probably due to kernel incompatibility with it. By extension, we may also surmise that odexed Roms have no problems with scheduling.

All downloads are available on Hotfile, Easyshare, Filefactory (for main Rom), and direct urls for data2sd code

FAst downloads are also availble for the Rom when downloaded via Rom manager.

Enjoy..

If you face issues, please report it in the format available on the Site

New Mail.apk

Would it be possible to implement the new version of HTC Mail found in Gingerbread into this ROM?

I've tried to install the APK I've extracted from InsertCoin but keep getting FC's

Thanks in advance.

StarBurst is Froyo based. At this point, I'm not interested in porting GB. I wont also be supporting GB apps.
[Desire Android Development] tidschi:
What should I do to update to the new Data2SD?

I'm using the Lite Edition Rom.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
At the moment, the only way is to wipe, and start over like any new install. Titanium can be used to backup and restore apps.
[Desire Android Development] tidschi:
Are you going to update the Lite Edition Rom, too?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Probably not very soon. I've been having connectivity issues all day long. The only difference is in three apps. You can also run the third party app remover tool and the keyboard revertor tool to convert Standard to Lite edition.
[Desire Android Development] aca85:
Im having trouble with the rom,flashing it.

I flash the rom,and boot it,do the setup wizard,and then reboot and flash the Data2sd ,and then after restart/reboot,the phone is stuck in a loop at the Htc logo :(

Can i flash apps2sd instead of data2sd?
[Desire Android Development] daspalme:
don´t do the setup! reboot right after entering the pin and all should work fine
[Desire Android Development] jamesbrampton:
BetaData2sd code: W5f

I think I am going blind? cant find the BetaData2sd code: W5f from StarBurst site :confused:

Cant wait to install...
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Great.. :)

Hmm...They dont teach us French over here, but google tells me this:

If you mean Friendstream, Facebook and Twitter, you can delete the .apks for these files safely with Root explorer, or other root manager; or from adb via recovery...Since this Rom is fully deodexed, that's simply done. If you dont want that in future on your next install, you can remove the apks from the zip.

But, man...You cant remove Sense..What I released is a Sense-based ROM for people who like the Sense interface.. :D If you don't want Sense, look to AOSP..Defrost, or plain Cyanogen is good...Miui looks nice too.

having problems after the data2sd my memory card says ready to mount and my phone has 50mb internal and the rest says unavailable:(
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Did you try to manually try to unmount/format the card while connected to the phone? Connecting as usb would never create problems..
[Desire Android Development] huzi7868:
i think i did any way to fix it wen the links gonna be up again
[Desire Android Development] hsahin4:
@droidzone, thanks for the superb ROM. I have ext4 partition (1GB) and I have

900mb free space for internal storage

:)

hurrraaaaa it seems impossible but it is real. Thanks goes to the developer.

My first aim will be bought a new superfast minisd card to use data2sd feature with good stability.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I believe you will have to remount it again..Have you tried mounting the card from the phone menu?

Do you know to use adb?

If you could post exactly what you did, and describe the problem in the Data2SD thread here, somone should be able to sort you out..
[Desire Android Development] huzi7868:
what is adb am new at that

[Desire Android Development] juniorxdb:
Thanks, nice job!!! Much more space!!!

Where is the link for 1.1.4 ROM? Dou you can upload from mediafire?

And I found a small bug, with data2ext: The app morelocale2 didn't work after restart. I selected portuguese brasilian, after restart appears english again...

Thanks!!!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Could be a problem with symlinks..I dont have experience with this app, but if you could ask you problem at Data2SD thread, someone could help...Usually its a matter of finding where exactly to symlink..

hey what is about video recording is there an option to improve 720p fps and sound format aac format instead of amr? that would be great...
[Desire Android Development] hsahin4:
First problem I have found is morelocale2. Due to this rom does not include Turkish locale, I am using the morelocale2 program I have downloaded from the market.

When I add the Turkish locale with this program, it is OK and there is no problem but when I restart the phone, ROM can not remember my locale setup and I have to setup again. May be this is a data2sd problem?

Could you please the Turkish locale to the ROM?
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
The answer to this problem is indeed in the data2SD thread :)
[Desire Android Development] Sebby:
can i do clear dalvik cache with this rom and data2SD
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
This is because androids reads this info from the nand before the ext partiton is actually mounted over /data. To keep your settings at every boot you have to save them to the nand. I'm not @home so I can write the full way to do so but this issue has already been raised in the data2sd thread and some bits of answers given.
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Yes but this requires a bit a manual actions in recovery mode.

Mount the ext partiton, cd to /sd-ext/dalvik-cache/ an rm -r *.dex

cd / and unmount ext
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:

Thanks for the support... You're awesome! :)

second time now: Boot loop after battery drain.

After the battery went down the phone won't boot again.

the first time I reflashed the rom (this time I had an up-to-date nandroid backup).

Do you have any suggestions?

Good job again.! I use it with misc theme from uot kitchen, alex's expresso lockscreen and auraxtsense theme. Its looks great with modding ;) fast and clean ! Thank you
[Desire Android Development] Fieser-Kardinal:
I've installed 1.3.2 witz Data2SD 0.7 ...

so do i have to update the Data2SD Scripts to Stable 1.1? And if yes, how do i do this?

Just run the Data2SD Re-Installer via Recovery?
[Desire Android Development] fisha21:
Quick question: does this version move the dalvik-cache back to SD as well, or is that still in NAND? Did check the minisite too, but couldn't find this mentioned (although you did state that one of the cons of the beta Data2SD was that some users might run out of space, so am guessing dalvik-cache is still internal?)

Either way, excellent ROM and am very happy I made the change from my previous ROM. Easily the best Froyo ROM I've used to date, wish I'd found it sooner. Donation on its way....
[Desire Android Development] huzi7868:
Hi droidzone any chance of making a Rom for any other phones like desire hd or something
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
As I've mentioned on the site, this info is just inadequate. Find the form on the minisite, fill it out and post here.

You allowed the battery to drain completely again? As I explained last time, a complete drain of battery=incomplete unmount of data=data loss=boot loops. If data is corrupted once, you will have to restore Nandroid/reinstall (witrh the installer, not reinstaller)

Actually stable version to stable version upgrade is just by flashing reinstaller

Thanks for the donation!

The beta posted has dalvik-cache in NAND too, so yes, some users may run out of space faster. It hasnt happened to me yet with 300 apps restored with Titanium. However what we've fixed in beta is only the bug with kernel flashes. The rest is the same.

We did develop a Setting fix only version, but it's an alpha and a little buggy.

I'd say chances are pretty slim since I can develop Roms only for phones I own and can test on. A Desire and a Nokia N95 are the only phones I own.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
What do you mean as soon as it asked you to choose the language?

You have to choose language and timezone. Skip others and then reboot. You will have to provide all the info as per the site before anyone can help.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
DataAlignment Script

Someone had asked me if we can import the data alignment script from Melethron. Sibere wanted me to warn you that the script deletes all data from the sdcard. So I deem it's too dangerous to add as standard option here. You can always use it sepertely to align your data before StarBurst install.
[Desire Android Development] peterkling:
[it wasn't me last time otherwise I would have answered, that...] I think it's no-go that the phone does not boot again after a battery drain (or if under certain circumstances the phone goes off). It happens to me at least twice a week that a low battery turns off my Desire - and i think it's pretty normal. Do you always have a nadroid from last hours present then?

You should point this out on your mini site in BIG LETTERS, so anybody with a rare power plug availability can decide prior flashing.
[Desire Android Development] wingnutta:
ok, i currently have 1.3.0 using the Data2Nand option a little while back (used the datamigrationutility). I am going to update the ROM and use the Data2SD beta (w5f) - i want speed more than space - so from what i can see i have to do a full wipe/restore from titanium? - Can i just confirm that is correct?? Just double checking!

I am getting just a little behind here so i need to catch up!
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Apparently your SD/phone is prone to bootloops after a full battery drain.

I personnaly tried many times a full battery drain, let the phone turn itself off, then booted again with a dead battery. The phone stopped suddenly during the boot process and I never never never had boot loops nor data loss.

I would suggest you to enable journaling on your phone.

in recovery, get a adb shell and type

mount /system

/system/bin/tune2fs -O has_journal /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

This should reduce a bit I/O performance but should give you more safety to your data.

If you're feeling confident enough, you can even remove a few options in the mount options of the 01data script in /system/etc/init.d/

I would suggest to remove from the mount ext4 command line the commit=50 option, the noauto_da_alloc and the barrier=0 options too to get even more data safety.
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Actually this shouldn't be the case.

On HTC sense roms, when the battery is dead, the phone should nicely turn itself off, like if you pressed the on/off switch to turn it off yourself. This nice shoutdown is taking care of the /data partition and should unmount is as well before turning completely the phone OFF.

If this doesn't happen on one phone, maybe it's a battery issue and I would also suggest to recalibrate the battery.
[Desire Android Development] Driver_3:
I'm currently on StarBurst 1.3.2 using Data2SDInstallerW3_StarBurst. In order to update to latest rom+script should i flash the new rom without wipes and then use the Data2SDReInstallerW5f_StarBurst ? Or should i wipe everything and flash from the beginning? I know that i could just make a backup and try but i would like to hear the chef's opinion.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Weird that two people reported the issue. To the original query as to why I havent highlighted the issue on the site-My accounts record a total of 3658 pooled downloads from Hotfile, Easyshare and the rest. Of these, we've got 2 reports (including yours). So pardon me if I err by supporting the Rom in my contention that this isnt an issue with the Rom or Data2sd. When I said Data2sd relies on a safe shutdown, I was talking of a theoretical possibility of Data corruption in case something prevented Rosie from shutting down the system safely, like an overheated defective battery.

I support Sibere's contention that the possibility of an unsafe shutdown on Rosie is highly improbable. Still if there's a problem with the battery or circuits, perhaps the Rom isnt for such users..

Sibere, I've added journal as default in the uploaded zips.
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Ho well, no problem, but I stick with no journal on my phone ;)
[Desire Android Development] peterkling:
First of all - thanks guys: this are helpful answers I expected :)

nice to hear, that there IS a chance for me.

Sounds a bit technically complicated for me (I'm a power user not a nerd ;) ) but as far as i know me, I'll give it a try.

Sounds even technically higher... :-/

Thanks for the tips!

I thought so, too.

That's what I'll do first. Thank you.

I think I'm not risking a battery drain in the next few hours again until I've mad another nandroid. So I'll keep you updated as soon as I got results.
[Desire Android Development] gimpbrush:

Strange, I use this rom from version 1.1.1. until 1.3.3.1 and I dont have such problem at all.
[Desire Android Development] IndicaviA:
Of course that I change language. I use czech one.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Please do read before you start seeing issues everywhere!

As noted in the download link, if you're using the stable Data2sd, settings wont be saved. If you use beta, it will be saved.

On stable Data2sd, if you change language and other options at first boot, it will be saved. You were supposed to skip only Google account setup, not language and time zone

Probably you set it up the proper way.

For the record, it's not a Rom issue. There has been no radical changes in Rom. If you setup Data2sd improperly, that's bound to happen

[Desire Android Development] STANNY08:
Possibly a bit off topic, but hopefully you can help me. I am currently running a standard rooted Froyo sense rom from this forum and it has been fine. I am looking for a new rom and think this may be the one, but recently i have been experiencing the car mode bug. That is a pain in the back side. I really don't want to have to send the phone back for repair.

So I am wandering, is it possible that the feature can be removed from a rom? So that it basically ignores whatever triggers car mode. Obviously if its a real pain and the back side, or im talking rubbish just tell me to dissappear!

Leedroid 2.2 kernel comes without battfix... snq's battfix is only in The 2.3 kernel which is not available as standalone...

if you need battfix, flash another kernel. See minisite for some possible kernels
