OK guys,

I've repartitioned SD Card via RA Desire and reinstalled v1.3.3.5 + X1.

I know DroidZone preferes gparted but so far the results of reformatting via gparted and Ra Desire are the same.

I'm not going to use any customisations.

Also I don't use titanium this time to restore any data (appps only as I use titanium to keep backup of any apk files on my phone)

So far, so good. I'll see how it works after whole day and some phonecalls.

I'm narrowing the cause of issues to broken SSD Card file system (can be solved by repartitioning) and broken titanium "data" backup on SD.
[Desire Android Development] mpkiteman:
Hi there, I've got the same problem than kl_arnet, BelgianAtheist, and many others !

My SD card is a class 6 Transcend, partitioned with Gparted.

After a day or two, i have crashes and FC.

I've tried with every ROM version from 1.3.3.1 version to 1.3.3.5 and, and have always the same problem.

But if this problem, is solved, i agree that this ROM is one of the best ans the fastest i've tried.
[Desire Android Development] BelgianAtheist:
Both 16GB Class 4 Sandisk and 32GB Class 10 Patriot gave problems from StarBurst 1.3.3.4 (both partitioned with gparted 1536MB EXT4 and whatever's left FAT32)

Yes, TB restore.

No theming, no different kernels.

Reverted to 1.3.3.1 (with TB restore from 1.3.3.5) this morning.
[Desire Android Development] aznknightz17:
Hi guys Im having trouble installing this. I wiped out completely everything. Used Gparted to create Fat32 primary and then 1Gb Ext4 primary. Load up Starburst 1.3.3.5, then reboot into recovery to apply Data2Ext then reboot. It just stuck at the white HTC screen for 5mins now. Should I wait some more or did I mess up somewhere, thanks.
[Desire Android Development] BelgianAtheist:
Between "Load up Starburst 1.3.3.5" and "reboot into recovery" did you boot into the Sense homepage (setup region, wifi,...) ?
[Desire Android Development] kluzik1:
Guys use titanium only for the most important apps. If you will back up system, Messages or something else it will start fc after some point. My soulution : I made clean install, installed apps, backed up. Using this for a least a month now and everything works like charm. Don't have any fc since I have been doing like this. What version of titanium are you using? :D
[Desire Android Development] aznknightz17:
Yup sure did.
[Desire Android Development] BelgianAtheist:
Didn't have any fc's either until 1.3.3.4

Using latest PRO version of TB
[Desire Android Development] kluzik1:
http://rapidshare.com/files/455227219/TitaniumBackup-3.6.6.3.apk

Here you go this is my version of tb and I don't have any problems with it :D :eek:

I'm using starburst lite 1.3.3.3 :D
[Desire Android Development] BelgianAtheist:
I'm not having problems now on 1.3.3.1, I'll wait this out and try a new version of StarBurst
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
This might be other culprit. New version of titanium pro.

I always use it to backup only user apps. Never touch system apps.
[Desire Android Development] kluzik1:
Try it cause I don't have any problems with it :D
[Desire Android Development] BelgianAtheist:
Ok then.

Well the white HTC screen can take a while, the first time I installed StarBurst I didn't time it but I think it was more than 5min, give it 10, probably shouldn't take more than that, do you see the Blue notification light at startup?
[Desire Android Development] mrweisslee:
I just downloaded ....

- StarBurst_Classic_1.4.0.1.zip

- kernel-bravo-2.6.32.36-starburst-110327.zip (just in case because I use original battery)

quote from droidzone

"Note that the framework of this Rom is different from other StarBurst Roms. The Kernel is Neo 1000mv which is good for extended batteries."

Does the framework mean font size..????

Gonna try tonite....

I try many roms before...hope this will be "the one"
[Desire Android Development] aznknightz17:
Oh yes i did! But I let the phone on the white HTC screen for 3hrs since I went to bed, still there. This is weird. :confused::confused:
[Desire Android Development] BelgianAtheist:
3hours is a bit much ;)

You should probably look into getting a startup log or something to see what is going wrong.

Did you do a factory wipe?
[Desire Android Development] aznknightz17:
I wipe data/factory + wipe cache partition > install starburst > wait for boot > reboot into CMW > install Data2SD X1 > reboot > stuck at htc

Ill upload logcat and hopefully someone could tell me where it went wrong.
[Desire Android Development] BelgianAtheist:
That seems to be the sequence, hope someone can help you with the log:

http://starburstrom.wordpress.com/s...w-to-create-an-error-log-for-troubleshooting/
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
This is also issue I reported already. Happens on clean rom installation (on first boot after choosing language/location).

Probably related to helicopter mode as it laggs Rosie scroll.

Workaround:

Take out the battery, get to recovery, wipe and install data2sd script or do the all flashing from scratch and hope it don't freeze on white HTC screen.
[Desire Android Development] epos85:
This rom is the greatest ever! Love it! :) Would have been nice with the latest sense in next release :-)

Btw, why doesnt applications restore after install?
[Desire Android Development] Matty Matt:
I DLed the 1.3.3.5 from your site, along with the script, did a full wipe and dalvik cache, basically followed the instructions to the letter and i experience massive hangs when opening apps....does this ROM work better with an ext3 partition instead of ext4?
[Desire Android Development] aznknightz17:
Heres my log. Any can read and tell me whats wrong I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

http://hotfile.com/dl/112778160/cab9365/log.txt.html

Also does it matters if its S-On or Off?
[Desire Android Development] BelgianAtheist:
Don't think it matters, I'm S-ON

I have no experience with the technical details of rom installs but I think something is wrong with your EXT4 partition based on a bunch of these in the log:

Unable to open or create cache for /system/framework/core.jar (/data/dalvik-cache/system@framework@core.jar@classes.dex)

Try to re-partition and re-wipe before installing again
[Desire Android Development] cordezz:
Same behavior with my Desire. I use an ADATA 16GB Class 10 microSD. Lite Edition 1.3.3.3 and the Data2SDInstallerX3E.zip.

First time I did a complete wipe, installed the lite edition and used titanium backup to restore everything (user + system apps/settings). This causing a slow system und FC of google apps (gmail, acore, etc.)

Today a second try: Complete wipe, installed the lite edition and used titanium backup to restore only some user apps. The system was fast an stable for about 4h, than again FC of google apps.
[Desire Android Development] aznknightz17:
I also get "E:Cant Mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2(file exists) Error mounting /sd-ext/!"

Could that be it also?

PS. Running CWM 2.5.0.7
[Desire Android Development] anderl78:
I would recommend to delete both existing partitions (ext and fat), and recreate both with gparted. Make sure to click "apply" after delete partitions, then make the new ones.
[Desire Android Development] ali8383:
thank you brother .

Does this rom support full arabic ? Rtl ,reading , writing and arabic menu ?

I'm interest to try it , it seems very fast .

Thanks again
[Desire Android Development] BelgianAtheist:
CWM 2.5.0.7 Is the best according to droidzone :-)
[Desire Android Development] boojay:
I've been using this rom for about a week now and it's easily the speediest and most stable data2sd rom I've had the pleasure of using. However, has anyone had a problem with it rebooting out of the blue? It's happened to me only twice (which is significantly better than other similar roms). My phone will be sitting idle, then just reboot for no reason. I'm suspecting it might be setCPU, so I might shut that down and see if that was the issue.
[Desire Android Development] xsardax:
I've had the same problem on 1.3.3.3. version, but later on, never :)
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
which kernel ? could be an excessive undervolt issue.

[Desire Android Development] boojay:
Firstly, thanks for the awesome work with the data2sd script, sibere!

I just checked and my current kernel version is 2.6.32.15-froyo_bravo-V5

I never even thought about that.
[Desire Android Development] hurin8:
Is it a HT003 s/n?
[Desire Android Development] BelgianAtheist:
Mine's a HT03 one of the first ones, what does it mean?
[Desire Android Development] Racle90:
Rom manager shows my version is 1.3.3.4 and wants to update

Last night i downloaded latest version, wiped all data and installed that, any idea why that does that? (and i also used UOT kitchen to mod icons and battery)
[Desire Android Development] cordezz:
It is a HT071PL....

Is it save to use the reboot menu to reboot to recovery?

Today I used it to reboot to RA and did a nadroid backup.

After a reboot the fat32 partition was not mounted correctly any more. There are errors in the nandroid folder, i have to run chkdsk from windows...
[Desire Android Development] hurin8:
Just a wild guess, a hardware problem. I don't really know, I'm in the dark.

Lately my phone (1.3.3.5, x1) started to not being able to activate wifi, the first symptom, then FCs of acore, gmail, htcsense and in general every single app installed on the phone, and last not recieving calls or sms. Mention that I don't transfer the apps to the sd card via the application manager.
[Desire Android Development] cordezz:
I used this rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=833310 with app2sd+ for months without any problems. So I don't think it is a HW problem.

Perhaps some incompatibility with certain microSD cards...
[Desire Android Development] hurin8:
Maybe the ext4 partition stressing the sd card too much?
[Desire Android Development] m3ta:
Mine too, and as it was getting sluggish, i did.

Now it's stuck :( at S-OFF screen and joker.

Sigh...
[Desire Android Development] xsardax:
I think You have the same problem I've used to have few days ago.

Check it below.

What Droidzone says it's that is a ROM Manager problem.
[Desire Android Development] m3ta:
Oh... thanks for the info. Please tell me, how did you fix it?
[Desire Android Development] xsardax:
I haven't :D

ROM Manager still states that version installed is 1.3.3.4., but in About Phone it's 1.3.3.5.

And, ROM Manager is not saying that Update is avaliable anymore :)
[Desire Android Development] BelgianAtheist:
I've gone back to 1.3.3.1 and have not had the problem yet (2 days heavy use now)

droidzone keeps saying that there's nothing that could cause it but something is wrong, I'm glad I'm not the only one, there must be something building up during a few days and then exploding.

I'm staying on 1.3.3.1 until a new version or solution is released, I can experiment on my phone a little but I do need it to be reliable.
[Desire Android Development] anderl78:
Droidzone,

Can you please look at this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1010807

SD-card speed up... ;-)
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
This has been published in HTC desire forum for ages and integrated in all custom kernels for months :)
[Desire Android Development] anderl78:
If someone want to test:

Type with su-rights in terminal emulator:

Check SD-card read cache:

cat /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb

Set SD-card read cache:

echo "2048" > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179\:0/read_ahead_kb

In this example the read-cache is set to 2048 KB, you could test it with your own values...

After a reboot the original setting will be back again...

Don't have tested it long enough to say if it really works!

Edit: read speed goes from 12 to 13 MB/s..... not to much in my case...
[Desire Android Development] anderl78:
Yup, but we should perhaps test with higher values...
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
This is making sense for "consecutive" data like in Quadrant or SD tools tests. But it's a non sense for random reads because if you want to read a 1kb file, the system will cache 2048Kb (2MB) of data. I'm not sure that it will help in this scenario...

A good test would be random read/write test.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Honestly, I couldn't fix this issue. I only have one phone to check. And as long as it doesn't give me an issue, I can't. Because I haven't got a clue as to why you're getting this issue and I'm not. if it's a rom issue everyone should get it, provided they followed the same steps.

I can't improve the reliability any further either. Can't, not that I won't. If you install sands of time, it will remove all mods, and if the issue occurs any further, just wipe the rom and use another one. This is because removing mods means your phone becomes stock with data 2 sd, and if it doesn't tolerate that, there is no other way. Theres an apps 2 sd version available on my site.

Data2sd may not be for everyone. I will never compel anyone to use this rom. After all, it's free. use it only if you don't have problems. I spent a lot of time compiling the installation guide, and I believe that if it's followed accurately, there should be no issues.

Hi,

snq has released a new kernel for Starburst, kernel-bravo-2.6.32.36-starburst-110327

Any idea if this is a beta or stable release?

It would be nice to know what was added to this kernel if any.

I use this kernel sice it was released. First time some strange reboots, but after updateing to newest radio (calrec-support) its running fast and stable without problems.

IMHO the Calrec-kernel needs and a matching radio. dont know if thats really true, but since then, no problems with reboots...
[Desire Android Development] venomrat:
I did check the changelogs but they were too technical for me.

How does one use callrec?
[Desire Android Development] BelgianAtheist:
Don't get me wrong, I like, nay need, your rom wouldn't donate if I didn't but I'm on 1.3.3.1 for 3 days now without issue, never got that far with 1.3.3.4/5

And I did try all the suggestions and a clean install.

I can't put in too much time now for experiments and will have to settle for an older version for the moment while I await a future version.

Thanks for the excellent work anyway :)

@droidzone

There is very interesting app called Toggle 2G/3G.

Automatically switch to 2G when the phone is not in use will save a lot of battery life.

The issue is the app need to be signed with keys for the rom.

Could you do that?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=739530
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I don't have access to my pc and the signature keys.

But I don't sign individual apps in my rom, only the package. So you can extract the rom from zip, add the apk and sign both with a new key

Please don't quote huge chunks of text. Its very irritating to scroll through, esp on the phone

[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
A clean install should always run perfectly, unless the steps of installation are incorrect or the hardware is defective. I don't believe your hardware is defective.

I appreciate your support. But please don't think I'm blindly supporting my work. I honestly don't see any issues with the rom during the installations I do. I often backup with titanium and do fresh installs followed by restores.

If the older version works fine for you, stick with it. If I could detect an issue with the newer version, I'd release an update for you. Like I did for the snq kernel. If something tangible turns up, I'll revisit this problem. Otherwise no updates are planned soon

Hey I got my desire running smoother then it was before with starburst but now its lagging during internet browsing (taking up to 30 seconds to load pages) and opening/ moving through applications.

Also turning on the screen does not work properly, I press the button and it may take 5 seconds for the screen to turn on. But then everything is quick and fluid entering my tactile password ,sliding through the homescreens, looking at all my apps but when I click on an app the screen will go black for up to 20 seconds then load up the app (this is an annoyance). Everything from the default internet browser and gallery to downloaded apps acts this way.

But the strange thing is that during this black screen of nothingness I can press the home screen button and it will bring me back to the homescreen within 3 seconds then most of the time im back to my fluid zippy homescreen experience.

What I did this time to make starburst "smoother" then last time was this.

I wiped the memory on my phone and sd card. Then I repartitioned the sd card to 1 gb internal memory and the rest external (8gb class 4 sd) (I followed the guide and done it as fat 32 and ext 4 and all that jaz I just forget the specifics right now)

After doing this the phone would not turn on with the partitioned sd card but Would turn on with my unpartitioned one so I went into recovery and installed the data2sd installer (This was with my sd card PAcked full of my vids and such again). After doing this and praying that I wasent going to break my phone it worked.

An error message that pops up occasionally is this "htc.bgp has closed unexpectedly" I click close and nothing seems to happen so I ignore it, I just thought Id put that in there.

Thats my story so far, any advice on what I should do to make starburst work properly would be Greatly appreciated.

Oh!, heres some information

Size of sdcard used: 8gb Kingston class 4

Size of each partition created and type of partitions made : Primary fat 32 (5.7gb) and Primary EXT4 (1gb)

data lost

hey :)

nice rom, especially the data2sd function, very useful, and with the carbonara theme it's gorgeous...

but :)

i had a very strange (and irritating) problem two times with your rom, i installed a lot of applications, and after a reboot, some of them are lost, disappeared, is anyone had the same problem ?

my sms and call history are lost, everytime... and if it wasn't auto sync with google, i think i will also lose all my contacts...

i have a sandisk 8gb class 4, my telephone is rooted and S-OFF, clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.7, wipe all before install etc...

i partionned with gparted, i followed every step of the procedure... everything would be fine without the disappearance...

thanks for reading

Strange, it did it for the first time today! First, the Traffic Counter and then Instant Heart Rate. If I tried to run those apps, it would say that they are no longer installed, but the application manager showed them as installed!

[Q] Resizing the partitions

Hi

I currently have the following SD card set-up.

- 16Gb class 6 card

- 1.99Gb primary Ext4 partition (MiB)

- 14Gb primary FAT32 partitin (MiB)

I want to shrink the Ext4 partition to 1.4Gb.

The Starburst mini website states that in order to change the partition size, you should back everything up and then use GParted to create new partitions and the recover from backup. However, GParted also allows for a option to resize the partitions. Is there any objection to using that option or will this create issues with Data2SD? Has anyone tried this out?

Thanks for your help!
[Desire Android Development] hurin8:
OpusX11 ,

Did you also had random signal loss? When I answer a call, the android.phone FCs and the signal is lost immediately AFTER ending the call!!!
[Desire Android Development] cordezz:
Had that one time, too...

But another thing:

Why has the ext4 partition located AFTER ther FAT32 partition?

I used gparted for partitioning in this order, thats no problem.

But RA-recovery places the ext3 BEFORE the FAT32. Is that really a problem for data2ext?

And vice versa: Is it a problem for app2sd+ when the ext4 partition is located AFTER the FAT32?
