Did you partition with Gparted with MB aligned option? Sibere's Data2SD thread also mentions alignment of fat32. Also do a disk benchmark like Crystaldisk and see if your card is faulty.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
StarBurst Classic 1.4.0.0

This is the upgrade for StarBurst Standard. For those who are using the latest Standard version 1.3.3.5, the upgrade will not offer anything new.

StarBurst Classic is a self contained Rom with Data2SD. The Data2SD flavor used is Data2sd X2. On first boot, as usual, you're supposed to set up Language and Wifi settings (if you want. These can also be done later, so you can just skip everything). Do not install Market/Google account details at first boot. Once first boot completes (may be a bit long) and you land on the desktop, hit the power button to reboot again (No need to reboot into recovery). On second boot, the green LED will stay on before the Quietly brilliant screen. At this point, the script is creating the ext4 file system and setting up Data2SD for first run. So this may be a bit long too (1-2mins). Once the green LED flashes off, a blue LED will momentarily blink signalling Data2SD startup. On every boot, the blue LED will subsequently flash momentarily.

Once second boot is completed, Data2sd will be setup according to the size of your ext file system. Note that if you wish to flash a theme/battery mod, you should do it only after the second boot is completed. Otherwise, you may have bootloops (should be resolved by pulling the battery and rebooting again).

The Rom will be uploaded later. Note again, that the apps are the same version as the latest Standard Rom. The kernel is Neo 1000mv kernel as it is the one I'm currently on, and putting another kernel there would mean another flash for me every time I tested out the rom. As usual, you can flash any kernel on this one after the second boot is over.

If you reflash the Rom on top of itself in the future, you dont have to follow it up with a Data2Sd reinstall. The Rom will recognize the old Data2SD config and upgrade Rom without losing your apps.

The procedure described so far is for new users. For previous users, to use this Rom, I will upload a Migration flasher, which has to be used before you switch to Classic.

The Classic version will mark the Data2SD version under Software Info>Build.

Download links will be up in a couple of hours..

One more thing..I'm going to be away from my PC (I dont have a laptop) for quite some time. So I wont be able to solve any issues arising out of the use/misuse of this Rom. There shouldnt be any issues, but who knows!

Months..... :)

[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Well I do think the guy deserves a break! DroidZone - is it possible to rope in other developers in your absence in case of issues? It does seem like a significant burden for one person.

BTW I was going to install the Neo 1V kernel but saw this

OC1190Mhz

This kernel is overclocked? Personally I try to avoid messing with the hardware at all, and prefer to just leave it as it came out of the factory - I am a very cautious type.

Where are you going btw? On holiday?
[Desire Android Development] mayurh:
theres 2 neo kernels. the one says NeoPhyTe-2.6.32.28-Halcyon_HAVS.1000_CFS_SLQB_VR_v38

thats the one u shud try?
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
But isn't it designed for extended batteries for some reason, i.e. greater power drain and pushing the hardware harder?
[Desire Android Development] mayurh:
it says its good for extended batteries also

i dont think it uses more. droidzone said the neo 1000 is a mostly stock kernel?

\i want to try it also
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Has tweaked my interest in the extended battery though.
[Desire Android Development] Deus4ever:
I don't know if there will be a fix until droidzone is back, but if anyone knows how to fix this it would be nice.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
This is a sporadic issue, which has been difficult to trace, mostly because the couple of people who've experienced this have never given us an any logs to find out what the issue is.

In /cache/log, there are files created by StarBurst startup. These can give an indication of the problem.

If it was a problem consistently faced by everyone, I could say it's a bug in the Rom and fix it. However, I've not experienced this myself, and without logs from those who have it, I have no inkling as to the cause..

Honestly, with Sibere's help, I've patched all consistent issues reported so far. The Data2SD script is fast and bugfree. The Rom itself is bugfree and stable. So, I dont plan on doing any major modifications to it.

Droidbois, I dont see a need to bother other Devs with this Rom. Honestly, there is no need to. We dont need major changes to the Rom, since we're talking about a closed source HTC product tweaked for perfection :). It's not like we have source to work on.

Data2Sd is the only code involved. Sibere has tweaked it to perfection, and I've pruned away the initial bugs involving kernel flashes. So it's again safe to say that this Rom is one which you can safely use for daily activities. If there are major system updates, I will patch them into updated versions at intervals (Next vacation is probably during Easter). And indeed, there are a lot of Android veterans around here who are happy to help with real queries.
[Desire Android Development] PsicheAlCubo:
Actually I did partitioned with GParted but couldn't find this "aligned option"...in the partitioning shell all I could choose as an option was "Round to cylinders" to check or uncheck plus all the usual: partition type, file system, label etc etc etc...

I even searched the web for GParted tutorials, but couldn't find this option in any of them... :confused:

Will try the Crystaldisk benchmark this afternoon and will let you know hoping you still have a PC from where to answer ;)
[Desire Android Development] Psyco-Man:
Hi

what you think about 2-way call recording from avs333 , reported on ginger villain 1.6 integrated in the rom.

would this be possible to add it in the rom or patch the rom with a .zip ?

i m interested in this but would never install any other rom. i love my starburst Rom much to much.

Has anyone tested this ? the newest radio versions can be found here (the latest is needed for call recording to get it work)

http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-ha...c-desire/47900-desire-radio-rom-sammlung.html
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Call recording would be very handy.

As for the ROM I agree, we all want stability here so enjoy your well earned holiday! I was more thinking of updates to system apps like Market or whatever in your absence, maybe we can just flash any needed updates.

But yeah I agree, if it's stable I don't need any changes. Standard stock ROM's don't get frequent updates either.

About the kernel, is the Neo kernel overclocked? And why is it good with extended batteries?
[Desire Android Development] lvnatic:
Neo's kernel is coutts kernel a bit modified, available at different voltages, that's all. The most battery-friendly one is the one that runs at 875mV, if you're having issues with it (reboots, freezes) just use a higher voltage version. The 925mV will be stable on any phone, 1000mV is not needed. You will not notice any difference in performance btw, only more battery life if you're using lower mV versions.
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
It happens to me sometimes but I've got used to it. Phone wakes up eventually so it's not the major issue but something you live on with.

I have big progress with my F/Cs issues.

After about 2 weeks of struggles and tests ... I have finally working StarBurst.

First I had some issues with F/C's of acore, gapps, plugins and sense related processes since SB v1.3.3.X (tested with different kernels and data2sd scripts)

Eventually I have repartitioned SD Card with Gparted + MiB allignment.

After that I had even more problems with SD card. I've found out I am getting files damaed on SD card - damaged files did unmount SD Card even on opening folder containing them (astro/ES/Root Explorer etc). Both partitions = F/Cs of everything < 12h after ROM installation. Yesterday I reformatted SD card back with Ra Desire 2.0.1, but still coudn't get the rom working fine for me.

Had Sense crashing issues stright after installation of clean rom or just after data2sd.

I was a bit sleepy and by accident after another sense failure (clean rom installation), forgot to reflash and did only full wipe ... and it worked. Now I'm having SB 1.3.3.5 working smoothly with no F/Cs (so far) and with X1 Data2SD script :D

I'm happy to have my phone back in working order :D:D:D:D

BTW! I like tthis blue led when rom is starting! This inspired me to finally install "Led Me Know" (market free app for notiffications with different colors for different kind of events).

Regards!

Bug report: widgets on Elixir disappear after a normal reboot (via power button). Happened twice in a row. This was after I deleted some system apps via Titanium Backup, if that means anything. Totally wiped out all the widgets in Elixir, leaving a blank box where the tiny icons used to be.

I've used to have same issue on 1.3.3.3. version, but on 1.3.3.4 and W6f I don't have such issue.
[Desire Android Development] martlund:
Installation problem

Hello,

Yesterday I decided to try Starburst with Data2SD for the first time, coming from InsertCoin 1.9.1 A2SD+.

- All possible wipes made in recovery

- Flashed the ROM from recovery without problem.

- booted up new ROM without problem setting up WIFI etc. (not google)

- shut phone off and went back into recovery

- flashed Data2SD Installer without problems.

- when booting up phone I got stuck on the white HTC initial boot screen for 30mins before I gave up and restored InsertCoin ROM again.

Data you requested:

Size of sdcard used:

16GB

Size of each partition created and type of partitions made

1) FAT32 ~14GB (i.e. what's left on a 16 GB card after creating a 1GB ext3)

2) ext3 1GB primary

Software used for partitioning

Gparted

Recovery Software installed

Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7

I'm S-ON

Version of the ROM you installed, and the names of the Data2SD

ver 1.3.3.5 and Data2SD type X1

No custom kernel

No overclock

Did you get any of the following messages in recovery?

No, flashing went perfectly of both ROM and Data2SD script

Can you please advice what went wrong and what I should to to install ROM? Should I have waited longer than 30 mins?

Cheers!

martlund
[Desire Android Development] Alas2708:
My understanding of this is that you created your ext partition before the fat32... you need to create them the other way round... fat32 primary followed by ext4 primary...
[Desire Android Development] martlund:
Hi,

No, sorry if put it unclearly.

I created the FAT32 first followed by ext3. What I meant was that the size of the FAT32 is what is left from a 16GB card after 1GB ext is taken away from it :)

I should also point out that the card setup has worked perfectly for A2SD+ ROMS such as InsertCoin HD, Oxygen 2.0 (gingerbread) and Leedroid.

/martlund
[Desire Android Development] OpusX11:
DZ: this happens to me once in a while also, but I noticed that it happens more when I have data or wifi turned on. I always assumed my phone could be sync'ing and therefore treated it as a minor lag. I've never had to wait more than say 5 seconds or something for it to turn on when it does happen.

I also notice a similar issue (though MUCH less frequently) during phone calls if I need the screen to turn on (say when entering a voicemail password). Initially I thought it was because my case was covering the light sensor, but its happened on StarBurst even with my case completely off, though lke I said, much less frequently.

I haven't observed this with mobile data/wifi off yet (mine is on most of the time) so I figured it was probably just a minor lag.

Its such a minor issue though compared to the benefit of having my desire the way it should have been made, that I almost don't care if we can never trace the root cause! lol
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Try this:

Backup everything on your sdcard

Delete all partitions on your card. [Go to Gparted LiveCD, boot it up (Not as a virtual device)]

Clockworkmod>Wipe all/Factory Reset

CWM>Mounts>Format system, Format boot, Format ext

Now recreate a Fat32 (Not Fat) followed by an ext4 (Not ext3)

Format both partitions (In Gparted only)

CWM>DO NOT WIPE AGAIN FROM RECOVERY

Install StarBurst Classic 1.4.0.0

Boot once, do not setup Google account/Install any app on first boot

Hit power button, and choose Reboot

On second boot, the green light should stay on for some time, signalling creation of the ext partition for SB. Next a blue light should momentarily flash and then system boots up normally

Check "SD and Storage"-It should report increased Internal memory

If you are an advanced user, you can do an "adb logcat" during each bootup, and see the Data2SD creation messages. After boot, you can also "adb pull" the logs from /cache/log

Once SB Classic is installed successfully, we can later wipe and install SB Standard/Lite if you like them more.
[Desire Android Development] lvnatic:
I still see some of you guys using the 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 radio version, are you still using it or is your signature outdated? I'm planning to give it a try today, but worried not to cause any issues. I heard that flashing newer ROMs on very old radios may cause brick, am I safe with the specified version? Not only on this ROM, on most others as well (I flash daily :D)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Flashing a ROM built for your device will never cause a brick, unless the ROM itself incorporates a built in radio.Flashing a Radio (wrong one) can cause a permanent brick
[Desire Android Development] martlund:
Hi,

Thanks you. I will give this a try if I find the required amount of time to do it :)

Do you have any idea why it didn't work with my ext3. Shouldn't it?

/martlund
[Desire Android Development] lvnatic:
Ok, so the versions available for Desire are fine?
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
StarBurst_Classic_1.4.0.0

Testing StarBurst_Classic_1.4.0.0.zip

+ Smooth and simple installation

+ Themes support (tested with my favourite Scar45's PCB theme - just flashed and working fine no bootloops)

+ UOT Kitchen support

+ Titanium recovery is working fine

- Market crashes after license agreement

- APN avaiable but need to choose manually for the first time (at least for Orange PL) ;)
[Desire Android Development] Bibracte:
Hello :-)

Testing StarBurst_Classic_1.4.0.0.zip

data2sd not working.

1) I use Amon_RA v2.0.1. To format directly to ext4. CWM does that formats it in ext3. The wipe CWM reformat my ext4 partition to ext3...

2) I do a full wipe.

3) I install the ROM.

4) I reboot once, I enter the PIN, I select the language (French) and I validate (next) then ignore (8 times ... even finish).

5) I press the on / off button and I reboot (as normal).

6) HTC green is displayed and green led, then quietly brilliant.

7) Green led off and the PIN is requested.

8) The blue LED does not light, no flash.

9) I enter the PIN. The desktop appears.

10) Menu, settings, phone memory and SD => internal memory space = 62.18 MB only.

My card is a 4GB Class 2 with ext4 1GB. My Desire is working with HTC StarBurst v1.3.3.5 (internal memory space 800MB).

EDIT1:

I then flashed Data2SDInstallerX1.zip Data2sd/Migrate_X1_to_X2.zip.

data2sd is ok now. Internal memory available = 859Mo

Speed of execution: ok.

I'll restore my apps with titanium backup.

EDIT2:

Difficult to restore the apps. Crash HTC sense if I restore the data system.

I am not yet connected to the market

I continue my tests.

(Translate with Google).
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
Have you checked Market? Mine is getting F/Cs.
[Desire Android Development] snq-:
you will find updated/maintenance releases here: http://tiny.cc/bravo-kernel

(and contrary to popular misbelief, it does use fast mode (charging_enabled:2) charging when connected to a/c (charging_source:2))
[Desire Android Development] xsardax:
Hi DZ,

please help. I've installed PCW_carbon_ara_2.6, but it installed the whole theme, not juct PCW :(

How can I revert it to previous state? I havent done any backups, so ... Or do I have to go all over again with starburst, and backuping and ... :(
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
Do the backup (Titanium, My backup or something else), reflash rom, use reinstaller without rebooting, should work with clear sense from SrarBurst ;)

If by any chance you would loose data, restore with program you backed everything up.
[Desire Android Development] xsardax:
Thnx man, I'll do that.

But, if I back all my aps & data with Titanium, will it back up the Carbon Ara also? :( Thnx.
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
No. Theming is modiffication too far into system ;) If you back the whole system up as flashable zip - then yes. Otherwise you back up only applications (users/system) with all data files (depends what you want to achieve)

...if I can suggest something, backup user apps only, leave system apps as they are and it's just about 5-10 minutes to configure everything your way.

But it's just in case. If you do reinstallation as in MiniSite, http://starburstrom.wordpress.com/starburst-rom-home/resources/download-links/ you should be fine with all your settings/apps untouched.
[Desire Android Development] xsardax:
Aha, so when I do:

Back up all user apps

That will also backup all my data, contacts, and other stuff? Or I should back it all up with system data?

Sorry for bugging You! :) Thnx 4 help.

EDIT: What I hate when I do backup is that when I recover all the apps from Titanium, on each I need to click INSTALL :( Can this be done automatically?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I can release an Edify patch for the script if someone is interested..You will just have to replace the MetaInf folder in the released zip, with the MetaInf of this zip..

i had only issue with parting my 8 gb sd card class 6... more precisely i formated my card in windows and psfmod recovery lost sd card partition table i think and it wasnt accessable from recovery it told me E: cant mount bla bla...

so i used in recovery patition ext creator .. and so it fixed the access to mount sdcard after that i used parted magic live usb and there is also gparted, success

so thx again i have now fast sanse rom with 1gb internal storage space...

Yes, have a look at my data2sd thread for that

Nice theme..Looking good!

At least you corrected it in the end! :)

Edify update script for StarBurst

This file is for people with Clockworkmod 3.0+ and downloaded the Rom 1.1.4 yesterday. You should replace the META-INF folder of the rom with the same folder from this file

Those who have still not downloaded the Rom can download the new Clockwork3.0 compatible version from the new link posted in the OP. If you download the new version, you dont have to substitute the META-INF. It's flashable out of the box (Er...Megaupload)

Those who have Clockwork less than 3.0 neednt worry. The new version will work on your device too..You can also use the zip you got yesterday
[Desire Android Development] muml:
you're really great. first the uninstaller now this.

Just right now i wanted to ask why the installation is always aborted with CWM 3.0.0.5 and you already know. :)

EDIT: Flashing the ROM was sucessful. Now the same problem exists with the data2sd package. what can I do?
[Desire Android Development] muml:
I thought I was doing something good by updating the CWM....

I tried to change the update-script by comparing the two versions of the ROM but unfortunatly it didn't work. I didn't write this kind of script before so it was only a nice try but not really sucessfully
[Desire Android Development] Memphis007:
I've got a problem with the car mode using your rom, when i plug the phone on the carkit (the htc one) the phone reboot. This is probably due to the battfix included in leedroid kernel.

When i'm trying with Richardtrip's V5e kernel, it's working correctly

Please throw away this damn charging mod !!

Need Help in Partition

Your Rom seems really awesome but i have one problem if you can provide some solution to it.I am using Windows 7 and i am not able to burn Gparted as my CD rom is not working.I tried Paragon Partition Manager which did not work and your Data2SD is too complex for me.Any tool recommended for partitioning Fat32 and ext4 card in Windows?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] Memphis007:
Put gparted on a flash disk with unetbootin, easyest way
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I'd already uploaded the Edify versions of the Data2SD Installation/Reinstallation package, but just forgot to update links to the OP b/c it was late (3 am!). I will update the OP with links asap, so use that..Those who've already downloaded the previous versions neednt download this one, but it wont do any harm if they do.

I wonder if Leedroid has the same problem with his rom..For now, would you post a link to the kernel you're using? I'll inlcude a link to that in OP for now, and later change the kernel at the next release if others report issues too.

Asked and answered... Thanks, Memphis007!
[Desire Android Development] misiu99:
The first thing I want to say that I never thought that I will again use a Sense Rom. Second, I want to say that you are the hammer (its German). Thank you for your great work. I am extremely excited.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I owe you an apology, mate..I was also a bit surprised..I was expecting only around 10-15 Mb size increase..I just didnt get time to investigate fully..

Thanks to Alex-V....He found a huge file in my zip...I'd accidentally dropped another version of the same rom in the file..It was renamed as ziGqkGy2 and is in the root of the zip..

It's a funny story... Listen to this..

I usually keep my PC on over big file operations, and use a program to turn the screen off. While turning the screen back on (I have to press any key on keyboard to turn it on, and sometimes one key doesnt work), I usually press some random keys on the keyboard to wake up the screen..So I just had a look at the file Alex mentioned and saw that the size was curiously close to that of the main zip, so I renamed it as zip and voila...It turned out to be another copy of the rom! .

So, if you have downloaded the zip, inside the zip, there's a file called ziGqkGy2 which is useless and does nothing. You can safely delete it. If left inside the zip, it wont do any harm though! :D thanks, Alex-V and termenk11
[Desire Android Development] jchoong:
Droidzone and Sibere - many thanks for this Data2SD which I started to use yesterday. Since I am not a fan of Sense, I installed this Data2SD with CM7 build 6 and so far, everything has worked very well - no FCs or self-boots. I use a 1GB ext4 on a 16GB Class 4 Sandisk. Great stuff!
