Titanium would have restored the homescreens too :)

system is supposed to be full around that amount..

It's /data that we're more concerned about.

See Settings>SD

Or QuickSystemInfoPro

Or Titanium

All these should show the right internal storage
[Desire Android Development] BelgianAtheist:
/data : 34% full, 961.02MB available of 1.44GB :)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Great... So it's fine. :)
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
The big concern is storage, and with deodexed rom, all dex files (apps and system and framework) are now in dalvik cache. Only the apps dex files are stored in dalvik cache on non-deodexed roms.

As a consequence, for StartBurst, it's pointless to move dalvik to nand.

We're only working now to correct settings on boot bug :)
[Desire Android Development] Iceberger:
What script is newer / recommended?

Data2SD_Installerv0.7_tiny_signed.zip or Data2SDInstallerW3_StarBurst?

I'm using Data2SDInstallerW3_StarBurst without any problems.
[Desire Android Development] SeanyC:
W3_Starburst is newer. 0.7_tiny is now recommended.

I'm also using W3 without problems.

@ droidzone

updated from 1.1.8 to the latest version with data2sd reinstaller....works great...got a quadrant score of 2000...

keep the great work going.....

all the best
[Desire Android Development] OpusX11:
Had anyone encountered issues with the version of MyBackup Root in the ROm with unable to save to SD errors? I have ample space (7GB free on fat32, 800mb free on ext4) so i'm not sure what the problem is. The application developer's website is pretty useless for support so i thought I would ask here since I figured most StarBurst users would have tried it.
[Desire Android Development] daspalme:
i got this error too.

but i continued backing up my apps with titanium...only data with mybackup
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Mysteries...

We're all supposed to get the same hardware (desire) and the same software (startburts with data2sd). Some users get it working nicely and smoothly, others can't get it working...

Maybe it's time to go to bed! :D
[Desire Android Development] OpusX11:
Lol - the hardware and the rom itself are still super fast and stable Sibere, dont worry... this mystery is within the app itself I believe.

bon Nuit Sibere :)

-concerning the battery drain-

Sorry for the late reply, I was giving it a 2nd chance but the battery drain is persistent. Which kernel should I take? Is the battery improvement guaranteed then? Thx!
[Desire Android Development] bungle2k3:
Hey there. Been using this Rom religiously.. but recently let my battery go completely flat. Wen I switched my handset back on I was bombarded with forced close messages. It appears every piece of software installed looses its association with the handset. So I rebooted handset and re installed the lot. It was fine with the battery going flat but if u leave it for longer until it falls below a certain level it again looses that association with the sd / phone and again u are bombarded with error messages on first boot. Any fixes?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
This has been reported once previously, but could not be reproduced under Sibere's extensive testing under similiar conditions. For the same reason, unfortunately, we dont have a solution too. The OS is supposed to prevent a complete drain, and to shutdown at 15% and then 5%. The shutdown at 5% is supposed to be forced too. If it shutdowns, then this issue shouldnt occur. Data2SD depends on a normal shutdown to prevent data corruption. Once Data corruption has occured due to untidy shutdown, data is not unmounted cleanly, and then the issue can recur on every subsequent boot, which would require a complete reinstall.

A fix cannot be worked out due to the cause of this issue, other than suggest that the system not be allowed to stay on beyond the time of appearance of cautionary messages..
[Desire Android Development] aminvishram:
Hey droidzone....

Facing an issue since a week.quick office scans the documents on my phone, but can't open it.it says file cannot be opened. Upgraded to ur recent Rom... still the issue persist... can u let me know if I can install quick office apk from somwhere.. n would that solve the issue..

Thanx in advance...

Amyn
[Desire Android Development] IndicaviA:
I have also this issue. Quckoffice doesnt work. But since I use "Documents to go" instead of QuckOffice, I dont care.

Just one thing I noticed this week. When I plug the phone to charge over night, charging sometimes freezes at 93%. Or it shows 100% but right after touch anything it suddenly drops at 93% and discharge from here.

When charging via usb or unplug the charger and plug it in again make the phone charge to fully 100%.
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Very well known issue with htc kernel. Nothing to do except getting a fixed sense kernel. Look into the dev forum for that.

[Desire Android Development] Conz:
Having some trouble getting this to work.

I have a 16Gb class 10 kingston card in my desire and have been using the modaco rom for a while (up to r9)

The Starburst rom installs fine and the phone starts up, then i turn it off and on again and apply the Data2SD_Installerv0.7_tiny_signed.zip file.

Then it just sticks at the HTC screen and locks up, it does not get to the usual 'quietly briliant' screen.

So far i've tried partitioning the sd card as ext2 and 4 with a 1 / 1.5 and 2gb size but they all end up in the same screen.

After it locks up i get the unable to mount /ed-ext:! error and when i plug it into my laptop (with linux) and fsck the sd card it will complain about not being unmounted properly.

So far I cant find anything wrong.

I have CWR2.0.1.4 and 3.0.0.5 but that did not make a difference. (i cant find 2.5.0.7 that somebody suggested somewhere as being the 'this should work' version).

Any ideas ?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
A mountable sd-ext is a prerequisite for Rom installation. You need to search for "

unable to mount /ed-ext:! error" and fix it before you try this ROM. It's not a Rom issue, but the Rom needs this problem fixed.
[Desire Android Development] Conz:
Do you have any pointers ?

I was already googling the error but so far I keep finding my own post from a few minutes ago and other dead ends.

When i go into the phone with adb I can still mount the ext partition so im a bit puzzled as to what might be wrong.
[Desire Android Development] lowlow2:
Hi droidzone, (and others)

I posted before concerning minor lag and battery drain. Important: Recently I had to reflash my phone because it was completely locked down, this morning I rebooted my phone via the extra item in the menu. After that, my phone went into a loop, displaying the message

Android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly at startup

I couldn't start any app, couldn't do anything. After lots of tries I could shutdown the phone via the menu. I rebooted 4x, removed battery, it could not help. (Anything but an offence but I never had problems in the last year with my unrooted Desire so I'd love it to be stable again)

Via clockwork I uploaded CyanogenMod to my SD and installed from zip it.

--------------

Now I want to get back to Starburst and of course would like it very much to be stable forever (and I hate formatting) what can you suggest?

First of all reformat my EXT4 and meanwhile I would shrink it from 1995MB to 1500MB. I'd also try "align" the partitions because obviously there's something wrong.

What else could I do?

Thanks in advance!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
You're probably asking this because you're new to XDA. But please understand that if you have a problem that's not related to the ROM thread, you dont ask it on it. You have to search and find the answer or open your own thread on the Q & A section.

Listen, we've tried to warn people before about the snq Reboot menu. We've always felt that the instant reboot option on it would corrupt the Data2sd config. When you used it, it corrupted the system, which explains all the FCs you've seen. A wipe system followed by install: Rom>Reboot>Data2sd installer>Reboot>Recover with Titanium should solve it.

If you havent aligned it yet, follow my installation guide and start over from scratch. It should fix everything.
[Desire Android Development] peterkling:
good question - I'm missing that keyboard, too. (with "long-press-number-keys" and orange highlights)

I'll propose it on the mini site as well.
[Desire Android Development] lowlow2:
Ok Droidzone, thx for the reply! Appreciate it. I'll try that, following your guide and mind the restart button. I wasn't aware of that at all, thought it was useful.

I'll especially check to align the partition. Cheers
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Yea..

[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Hmmph..Just found out that the SystemAppRemover I developed for StarBurst has been posted by users (not the thread OP) on Leedroid, Aurax and TeppicRom's threads without even a minor credits line..

Sharing is all very fine, but a small comment would have been nice, huh..
[Desire Android Development] dk.baxter:
Does this completely remove the Android and HTC_IME mod keyboard and replace it with the standard HTC one, or can we have all 3?
[Desire Android Development] IndicaviA:
You can always install different type (idrops, gingerbread..etc) of HTC_IME mod keyboard as usual *.apk file.
[Desire Android Development] Conz:
Sorry about that. Eventually I got frustrated enough with going around in circles while digging through threads and other websites in search of a clue that I put on another ROM which had the Data2Ext build in and that went w/o a hitch.

Kudos for the effort you put into this mod though :-)
[Desire Android Development] benleong2008:
wow I never know that reboot button would corrupt data2SD too. that explains why my stable Rom with the beta script started to encounter some issues after using for about two days and then rebooted.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It can, but we cant say that it will..

I use the "Reboot to recovery" function all the time, and so far..no issues.

I've also used the "Reboot" fn sporadically without issues too.. So it's kind of unpredictable, which is why I advise against using it

I've added the question in the FAQ, which I advise everyone to read..
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Correct..

The mod keyboard has been included as standard because most people like the smiley function etc.. Now, I've given you a choice of getting back the Standard keyboard.
[Desire Android Development] imopen:
Thanks for the wonderful rom droid, I installed it last sunday and I had no issue. The only thing I missed was the original HTC keyboard, the recalibration didn't work on HTC_IME and I hate mispell words... calibration is a must for me. Now I've just switched to HTC one and I love it.

Thanks for everything ;) ... now next stop is Gingerbread :)
[Desire Android Development] IndicaviA:
I also thoughgt that it only hot reboot button can cause problems. So wouldnt be better to have all buttons disabled except reboot to recovery button?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Well. The snq Reboot menu is essential a hack/patch on disassembled HTC code. Modifying it doesnt seem to be straight forward. Last time, I tried to convert the 4-in-one menu into a 3-in-one menu, and finally after spending about a day on the code, ended up with a 3-in-one keyboard but with a non functional Fastboot option. Now however, time is at a premium and I cant spend it on patching it again. So it's a choice of either completely doing away with the Reboot menu, or leaving it in place with a warning note, so that the more adventurous amongst us can use it. ;)

Unless one of you would like to pitch in and patch it as required. ;) ;)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Let's wait for HTC to release Sense for Gingerbread, eh? ;)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
By the way, Data2SD Installer (Stable) has been slightly corrected. There was a minor bug.
[Desire Android Development] jamesbrampton:
The minor bug was responsible for???
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
There may have been nothing noticeable. It may have caused the ext partition to be a bit underoptimized, that is all. Hardly noticeable..
[Desire Android Development] vr5411:
Can we have non-deodexed starburst rom? With sibere's kernel?

[Desire Android Development] Fieser-Kardinal:
Hi there,

i've installed this Rom with Data2SD and so far no issues. But what i want to know is if the internal memory and the ext partition size will be added, i've created a 512MB Ext Partition, and if i'm right the internal is about 147MB.

So the new internal Memory should be 659MB, but that is not the case. Titanium Backup says the internal Memory is 528MB big ... so there is space missing :confused:
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
No it's not added. The sd is taking over the nand which is not used on the stable version.

[Desire Android Development] Fieser-Kardinal:
Thanks for the quick answer!
[Desire Android Development] blud7:
Instead of running the script after installation, can I just delete the apks I don't want from .../app as with other ROMs and just re-sign?
[Desire Android Development] castafiore:
Thank You, sir :)

I must admit that I prefer this classical keyboard as well. It's probably just a question of habit.

The keyboard included in your ROM is beautifull and the idea of that space after a word when you enter it is clever. But, often, especially in french language, when you type a "d' " or a "l' " (elided), this space must be corrected and I find that a bit annoying after a while.

No more critics... I do love your ROM and I hope that you will make another ROM as good as this one when the HTC Sense ROM Gingerbread of the Desire S will be available... :)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
You can try that of course. If you did it properly, it should work. I just added a convenience factor
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Well, the stable script uploaded doesnt have it..Maybe it's better to add it.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Do you know how much time and effort maintaining three different ROMs, checking that Data2SD, kernels, themes and other stuff work flawlessly with them, and correcting them in case one doesnt work costs? It's like the work of three ROM developers. We're lucky to have Sibere for the Data2SD development and support.. Otherwise, I have to work alone, unlike some other ROMs which have teams working on it.

I don't think I should release another ROM which is markedly different from the current ROM. Otherwise, every time someone posts an issue I would have to reformat and switch ROMs just to see if it is real. Sorry, not worth the effort. We all arent jobless, you know! ;)

In addition, there are a lot of deficiencies for a non-deodexed Rom. You cant theme it. You cant add reboot menus/helicopter mode etc. In short, the only way you can have it is as completely stock, with no mods at all.
[Desire Android Development] blud7:
Works like a charm. Reason I asked is because I tried the script and it didn't remove some apps. I actually find (personal opinion) that it's easier just to delete apps from the zip beforehand. Also, I was actually unsure with all the scripts involved that the procedure might not have worked (since I really know squat about scripting). Thanks for your efforts and the reply.
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
FYI

Droped my phone yesterday. It opened on impact and the battery got off the phone.

I put the battery back in, closed the lid, turned on the phone... and everything was there, no FCs or anything lost. And I'm running on beta version ;)

That was quite a dramatic shutdown and a good experiment for data2sd.

[X] battery removal test passed successfully :D

Hello just about to try this starburst ROM, when my new 16gb sd card gets delivered. question on the first post, were you have screen shots and it shows internal phone storage 600mb, is this real?

I have been using Leedroid since first rooting my phone but now getting low memory, so this ROM is looking great.
[Desire Android Development] ilahk:
I had flashed the 1.1.1 version last month, how to update to the latest version??

Do I need to reset the old and flash the new? Thanks:)
[Desire Android Development] IndicaviA:
It can be even more. It depends how big is your ext partition you will create. That partition is then used as internal phone memory (instead of nand) by data2sd. But it is recommended to have max 2GB. Just an example, I have 768 MB ext4 partition, it means 768MB of internal memory. Over 250 apps installed and still over 150MB free.
[Desire Android Development] shankly1985:
Thanks cant wait to try this, ill just make a 1.5gb partition ext4.

do you think this data2sd will one day give us even more partition space? 5gb, 10gb lol am asking abit to much ha
[Desire Android Development] castafiore:
Even on my PC, I don't have 250 apps installed :eek:

What would you do with more than that on your phone, shankly1985? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] shankly1985:
What makes you think I got that meny apps? lol on this rom now I got 75 apps most are games witch take up a nice file size. :D

Ok, doubtful a ROM issue but as using starburst I will try here first.. is anyone else having difficulties trying to update gmail? It downloads it but when installing it says " update of APPNAME unsuccessful".. not seen that before.. anyone have any ideas?.. no uninstall button so can't try that?
[Desire Android Development] vietnam123:
I hope this ROM will be support Vietnamese.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Why would you need to update? I believe I've offered the latest version in the rom. Since gmail is a system app, at times you may have difficulty updating. Can try pushing with adb. If it fails, remove it with SystemRemover and then push it with adb. May need to clear cache additionally.

EDIT: Sorry, my bad. Gmail indeed has an update. But it cant be a Rom issue since I've been able to update properly. Try clearing your Gmail cache, reboot once and try again.

I will release an incremental update package for Gmail, Titanium and MyBackup soon

The list of supported languages is on the main pages. I wont be adding any more in the immediate future unless the people who request it can also take an active role in the development for this purpose.

Maps crashing

Just installed latest version 1.3.2.

Followed instructions correctly including full wipe and Data2SD following reboot.

No HTC apps have been removed using System App Remover.

Other than this maps issue the phone seems fine.

Baseband : 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17

When sat idle the phone often shows Force Close message (com.google.android.apps.maps), I assume some background service is crashing.

If I try to run Places I get the same force close.

When opening maps app it initially opens fine, then as it tries to get my location it forces a full reboot.

I've done a fix permissions in ROM Manager, no change.

Cleared dalvik cache last time it rebooted, no change.

BTW: Tried searching this thread - search is down.

EDIT : I lied, there is another issue. Notification itermittently popping up saying my card is mounted read only.

"The SD card has an unexpected problem".. Any advice ?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Will get to your issue in a few hours when I'm on the PC.

Do this to help us trace the issue:

adb logcat > log.txt

while the system is running. Obviously you will need Android SDK installed on PC. No way to understand what's wrong otherwise. Pause the logcat as per the minisite and post the contents of log.txt
[Desire Android Development] Funkyspider:
Using Manage Apps I deleted the maps cache, same problem initially - full reboot. After reboot I cleared maps cache again - seems to be working fine now. I'll let you know if I have any further issues with maps as I travel around. I'll logcat it next time too. I have SDK as I'm migrating my iPhone app to Android at the moment.

Did you see my edit. Notification intermittently reporting SD card in read only mode. Possibly fault in card filesystem ?

Thanks

Martin.

[Desire Android Development] SeanyC:
Hi,

I had similar issues after one install I did of Starburst. I think that maybe my SDCard had become corrupted somehow as it had not happened before. Using GParted I deleted all partitions and then created 2 new partitions (FAT32, EXT4) and reinstalled and everything worked fine.

Try it, it may work for you as well.
