FAT32 followed by ext4, not the other way round. Erase you card, initialize it and re-partition it properly. And if you're using Gparted (recommended), make sure the MB alignment option is checked.
[Desire Android Development] IndicaviA:
Yes. I was on 1.1.8 till today. First I flash datamigration utility. Then reboot. After that I flashed 1.3.2 with new data2sdreinstaller. Everything is working like charm. Dolphin HD also works flawlessly. No problems so far.
[Desire Android Development] koukise:
Hi

from a 1.2.1, without wipe, I installed 1.3.2, applied data2sdreinstaller, theme,

everything works correctly.

Update makes in 5 minutes :)

Quadrant = 2146

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] germaansboefje:
Respect! Quadrant shows 2150. Thx!
[Desire Android Development] anderl78:
I have given up, tried everything in every order and cant seem to get a good flash with all my mods :-( gone back to my 1.1.8 backup[/QUOTE]

Hmmm... You are back to 1.1.8 ? Have you only flashed the new rom followed by a direkt flash of the migration tool and then reboot?

If yes, one more suggestion left: flash the leedroid 2.2f kernel to your running 1.1.8 (dl from minisite), reboot. Phone should boot up normally. Then try to flash 1.3.2, direktly followed by migration tool, reboot....
[Desire Android Development] Araba21:
Hello everyone.

I installed the rom "StarBurst 1.3.2"on my Desire, SD A-Data 16 GB Class 10 (14.5 Gb Fat32 + 1.5 Gb Ext4).

1) Wipe Factory Reset and wipe at ext partition

2) Installed ROM + Radio and restarted

3) Then in Recovery and installed Data2SDInstallerW3_StarBurst.zip

When you restart stops on the HTC screen, and does not go ahead!

In what is wrong?

Help

+1 ... Droidzone :)

We're spoiled kids. I know. :)
[Desire Android Development] rusty27:
nopp..i did exactly how as instructed..i partitioned using gparted, put two partition(fat32 primary,ext4)..then do a full wipe,cleared all d chace and install d rom..then reboot..after the system went to home screen, i rebbot into recovery and the flash data2sd..then reboot..then only i restore contacts and sms..and installed apps..so whats the wrong boss?? please help me
[Desire Android Development] daspalme:
same for me....did full wipe>>install rom>>install neo´s kernel>>install data2sd W3 -- result: bootloop

i hope you can fix it with sibere together...i like this rom but i would love to try neos kernel to save battery
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Could you go to http://starburstrom.wordpress.com/s...w-to-create-an-error-log-for-troubleshooting/ ;copy paste the "Format for asking questions", add your answers and post here? There could be some minor issues we're missing
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
The kernel issues seem tied up with the new Data2SD script, probably linked to the way Dalvik is moved to Nand..So anyone using the new scripts will have issues installing kernels..

If Sibere can fix it, I'll post update flashes to correct the issue. We may also be possible to fix it temporarily by changing the script back to old, install kernel and then migrate back.
[Desire Android Development] rusty27:
ok..thanks for guide..i list my tings here..

1. 8gb class2 sd card

2. Fat32(primary) and ext4

3. used Gparted

4. Clockworkmod 2.5)

5. S-OFF

6. a: partitoned as told

b: flash the rom and reboot

c: after reboot enter recovery mod and flash data2sd then reboot..

7. no errors received and all went smoothly

the only prob encountered is random lag especially when turn on screen..and when sync fb contacts, phone reboot suddenly and all the contacts gone..

i tried to flash richardtrips kernel and it reboot when sync but no contacts deleted..m confused boss:confused::confused:
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
The random lag is to be expected, on a Class 2 card. We never recommend anything less than a Class 4 card. I myself am using a Class 4 and it is smooth as butter. The reboot is another thing altogether and has to be checked.

Hope the ext4 you created too is "Primary". If not, please delete and recreate it.

For the present, try not to try the alternate kernels. There are issues with alternate kernels with the Data2sd scripts. Did you use Titanium to restore data? In that case, take care not to restore system apps.

Also try this,

Stop Google sync and Facebook sync in settings, clear facebook and google data from Applications tab of Settings, and then turn on Sync again.
[Desire Android Development] mano42:
Best rom till far. Can you add Hibernate function, or it is specific to HD - Z roms?

My 720p recording is not smooth, even if I use class6 sd, can it be because card is used by the OS (data2sd) and recording 1 mb of movie in a second in the same time?

Otherwise , I really happy with this rom, 2380 quadrant marks with OC . WOW :D
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It's an HD feature.

Dont rely upon Quadrant scores alone. They may lie. :)

The new Data2SD scripts are supposed to do away with lags even with video recording. Is your Fat32 aligned?
[Desire Android Development] rusty27:
class 2 seems very outdated..my ext4 is primary partition..i checked that ready..i juz installed ur latest rom which 1.3.1... it seems working fine compare to old one..thanks for the advice and for the rom..keep up the good work....thanks
[Desire Android Development] mano42:
I just read your partition methods and recomandations on your website, and I'm afraid my fat32 isn't aligned. I partitioned it with Paragon Partition Manager. If I want ro repartition it with gparted, it is enough to save my existing rom with lockworkmod, than restore it back? (and save the actual content of fat32, of course).
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Vote for your favorite kernel

I've opened a poll for kernels at the minisite. See the Resources section>Kernels

Choose your favorite kernel and based on the result, I may be able to upload StarBurst integrated with the top 2 kernels..
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Yup. That should do it.
[Desire Android Development] jamesbrampton:
Here is my problems...

16 GB class 6

(FAT 14 GB 1 GB ext4)

(Gparted)

(Clockworkmod 3.0.0 R3)

S-ON

Flashed migration then ROM without boot in between

From V1.1.8 to V 1.3.2,

No fault messages

Stayed on the HTC boot screen for 30 mins

Custom Kernel and themed

Tried then by wiping everything and flashing the ROM, first boot and then data2sd

Tried by wiping everything then flashing the ROM then the kernel then the theme then boot then the data2sd

Tried by wiping everything then flashing the ROM then booting then flashing the kernel then booting then flashing the theme then booting then flashing data2sd.

every time hanging on the HTC boot screen...

Any ideas?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Yup. As I said, flashing any kernel on the new Data2sd script will potentially cause bootloops.
[Desire Android Development] tidschi:
My first impression after two days of using:

Very nice rom! Battery consumption is as good as with Leedroid for example.

I have installed Y5 battery safer und Setcpu with profile while screen of use 128MHz.

So for me it is the best rom, because it's clean, fast and stable.
[Desire Android Development] jamesbrampton:
I have also tried without the kernel and still get the hanging on the HTC screen
[Desire Android Development] anderl78:
Hi! I would try this:

1. nandroid back to running 1.1.8

2. revert to stock leedroid-kernel 2.2f (dl from minisite)

3. reboot

--> you should have a running phone!?

4. reboot recovery

5. flash 1.3.2

6. dont reboot

7. flash migration-tool

8. reboot

--> wait up to ~20 min - you could plug in the usb cable and look via adb logcat what your phone does....

if this doesnt help:

1. nandroid back to 1.1.8

2. Titanium backup

3. full wipe

4. install 1.3.2

hope this helps to get a running 1.3.2.... two things left: dont flash another kernel or a theme this time, we could look after this, if your phone runns 1.3.2...
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Tell me what steps you did..
[Desire Android Development] jamesbrampton:
Thanks, will try this all later as I am at work ;-)
[Desire Android Development] bg_man:
Market doesn't work for me either.

The message is "packet file is invalid".

It doesn't matter updates or new installs.

I have 1GB ext4 primary.

S-OFF.

Starburst 1.30.

Installing/updating apps via Astro is working.
[Desire Android Development] dk.baxter:
Try clearing the data in the Applications menu in Settings.. If that doesn't work, try clearing the data then rebooting..
[Desire Android Development] Araba21:
Installation errors

1. SDCard A-Data 16Gb Class 10 (SanDisk 8Gb Class 6)

2. 15Gb Fat32 Primary + 1Gb Ext4 Primary (7Gb Fat32 Primary + 1Gb Ext4 Primary)

3. GParted Live 0.7.1-5

4. ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.0.7

5. S-ON (I did not use AlphaRev)

6. Partitioned the sdcard with Gparted, wipe full, rom installed in recovery and rebooted, still in recovery and installed Data2SDInstallerW3_SturBurst.zip and rebooted.

Screen stuck on "HTC" or go in loop.

7. ROM StarBurst 1.3.2 and Data2SDInstallerW3_SturBurst.zip

8. reboot hangs on the screen "HTC"

I also tried the ROM AurexTSense 8.4, and then I used A2SDkillerV5.zip and Data2SDInstallerV5_Sense.zip. Followed throughout the procedure.

This also hangs on the screen "HTC".
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Do you have adb? the log would be useful..

I dont see a mistake in the way you installed.. It may be a simple case of waiting for some more time.

If it still doesnt work, try this Data2sd installer:

http://www.heylisten.org/ROM/android/droidzone/Data2sd/Data2SD_Installerv0.7_tiny_signed.zip
[Desire Android Development] bg_man:
I've tried that a few times but still no success.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
In some cases, you'd have to wipe and start over again.

In case of issues with new script, try the older data2sd script:

http://www.heylisten.org/ROM/android/droidzone/Data2sd/Data2SD_Installerv0.7_tiny_signed.zip

Both Sibere and I have been running the scripts for 2 weeks on our phones and Sibere corrected every issue on it. But we dont claim it's error free. So try the older script if there are issues. Also if you need custom kernels, you can use the older script
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Direct download links, Kernel poll

Thanks to Kenny@heylisten.org and Grdlock, all the downloads of StarBurst except the ROMs are now housed on ftp servers with direct download links.

As explained previously, for project viability, the main Rom will still have to be housed on File sharing servers like Hotfile, Easyshare, Filesonic and Filefactory..

About the Kernel poll..

Not many seem to have voted. But Coutts kernel seems to be the one most voted for, despite Coutts himself saying that he hasnt updated his kernels in some time.. :)

Seems like quality work will stand the test of time ;)

As mentioned previously, the top two most-voted-for kernels will be incorporated in the next StarBurst edition either as main kernel, or as alternate kernels with Rom incorporated.. So if you're using an alternate kernel, dont forget to vote! :D
[Desire Android Development] stupsi99:
i cant see a voting of kernels !!!!!????

oops found....

[Desire Android Development] Tomaka:
I can't find the links for the full rom on this page
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I dont see why not.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
@Tomaka, I can assure you that the links are there. I rechecked them.
[Desire Android Development] Tomaka:
Thanks, I found them, they where hidden to me.

Interesting... I found the links in the source of the page... Just to let you know, the images of your host providers are blockeb by my proxy and with FF 4 b11 they don't show up at all, that's why I couldn't find these links. An extra classic text link could help here.

Now I can try the rom :D
[Desire Android Development] Tomaka:
One more question : I am a newbee to rom flashing on android, you confirm me that I don't need my goldcard to flash a custom rom, right?
[Desire Android Development] schalmers:
I have tried Coutts kernel in the Past and it was very good but I had an issue where CiFS would not work on his kernel so I have chosen to stay on the leedroid 2.2F kernel

I tried to read Couts Thread on the Cifs issue and it is mentioned in there as an issue with a fix but I could not figure out how to do the linking to resolve the issue. Would love to try the kernel again if anyone knows how to resolve that. Just mention this incase others use CFS with Starburst
[Desire Android Development] bg_man:
Have found a way. :)

Boot in to recovery.

Wipe dalvik-cache.

Reboot.

Wait to dalvik-cahe to rebuild...

Now market is working.
[Desire Android Development] schalmers:
Thank you that fixed a problem I was also having
[Desire Android Development] OpusX11:
thanks!

DroidZone & Sibere.

thanks for this awesome work. I've been monitoring this thread since 1.18 and waiting for my new class6 16gb card to arrive. It finally came in last night and I installed the latest StarBurst rom today. Total installation time (including flashing the theme, flashing the voice dialer, and a nandroid backup post-install) was only 14 minutes! It was super fast especially considering the three reboots after each flash, etc, and you guys have made it VERY easy. I'm really loving how snappy it is.

thanks for the awesome work.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Great..Post a quadrant and let us know if you will..
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Will add that to the list of FAQs..

When I started this thread, all I wanted was to share a usable and easily installable Data2sd based ROM. Never realized what I was getting into with support requests!
[Desire Android Development] OpusX11:
Just ran the full benchmark and got 1867
[Desire Android Development] huzi7868:
gangster 2 lags on this ahhhhhh:eek: never did on 1.20
[Desire Android Development] vr5411:
@Droidzone

I was running 1.3.2 for about 24hr. But today phone stoped responding while reading gmail.

Was openning some links in browser prev.

Had to pull battery.

Back to A2SD for me.
[Desire Android Development] OpusX11:
out of curiosity, if the phone does stall and one needs to pull the battery to restart it, I understand that data2sd will not save cleanly, but if that is the only option, what is the process to get back to normal? Do we need to wipe and re-install? Apologies in advance if this was already answered, I tried to go back but might have missed it.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
If you have made a Nandroid, you can just restore that.

If not, wipe and flash rom as if its a first time install
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
There's technically no difference between the two versions except for the addon Data2sd package. Hope you did use the migrator and didnt just flash the new reinstall script over the old one!

Same answer as above
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I hope all of you who were on previous versions of Data2sd scripts did use the migrator to move to the latest version, and not the Reinstaller!

If you want to use alternate kernels, you can choose to stick to the older script
[Desire Android Development] huzi7868:
everytime i falshed this rom i wiped and did it dont need to backup anything really i never used the migrator do i have to ?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
If you started with full wipe and used the Data2sd initial installation procedure, of course you dont have to.

There's no reason that the new script should lag for you. It is supposed to be faster than the older script. Hope you had aligned your partition with Gparted initially as recommended in the partitioning thread
[Desire Android Development] craig1965:
@ droidzone I found Richard trips kernels you have posted on the mini site work with the new data2sd scripts the 825mv causes freezing and lag but 925mv seems ok so far
[Desire Android Development] IndicaviA:
Dont know boys. Yesterday I plug phone into PC via USB, but there was something wrong with ports, so my phone suddenly shut off. It wont get on until I pull out the battery and then put it back. After that phone rebooted. Then I got one reboot for sure and everything is working just fine. There was no need to wipe or restore nandroid.
[Desire Android Development] OpusX11:
DroidZone: I didnt realize that I had setCPU scaling me down to 806mHz when I ran the first quadrant benchmark. I ran it again with no interference on cpu and got 2022!
[Desire Android Development] DearTanker:
This ROM is very quick.

Could you make a version that can get data2sd directly.:)

I will wait it happen.
[Desire Android Development] umair_903:
when i flashed this i kept getting force close help plzz
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Thank you..

You were lucky. That isnt the usual case. There shouldnt be any reboots usually on this config. But if you have one bad reboot, the usual scenario is for data corruption to occur and future issues as well

That's better. I was thinking that it wasnt particularly good performance for a Class 6! :)

There's no known advantage of such a process other than one flash less. I'd also rather like to monitor the process at least initially for any errors. People can report about at which step they had issues. The data2sd script as of now is best run at recovery on second reboot. There were issues when it was programmed to be part of the Rom install on first boot

That's an unhelpful comment. Go back to the minisite and see the post on 'how to ask questions here'. Ask in the format described there.
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Have there been any problems with the latest version? I've decided I'll sit back a week or two on each release and see what happens.

Droidzone, I still respectfully suggest two streams of ROMs, one stable release and one development or 'cutting edge'.

I'm happy to help write up a testing matrix or table of things to be tested as stable on each release.

It moves it more in line with standard software development practices.
[Desire Android Development] OpusX11:
Hmm, I did a batch backup via titanium this evening for all apps and system data. Everything was good until about 90% in when it got to facebook. I began getting force closes like crazy from facebook, some google services, and things that look sense related. I rebooted the device and things have been just fine since. Is there a known issue with this?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Hi Droidbois,

I can understand your concern and chagrin.

However the 'issues' havent anything to do with the main Rom version. However the new DataSD script once installed does seem to curtail the choice of kernels in that kernels cannot be installed in the 'normal' flashable fashion once the new script is in place. This particular kind of test (kernel flashing after a data2sd install) was not done during the testing phase, and hence this issue was missed.

People who were on StarBurst previously and upgrade to the latest new ROM following up with a Data2sd reinstall with the old script (download link of which has been retained on the site) should have absolutely no 'new' issues. However the new script does certainly have issues with kernel installs, and I'm changing its name to development/beta build.

So in effect there are two streams of data2sd-one stable version which however will not save settings, and a 'cutting-edge' beta release, which does all that but limits the kernel flash.

I'm downloading the Gingerbread source code right now..So can edit the site only later
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Titanium kills apps forcefully to backup, by default. If that occured during backup (probably at a time when facebook was active), it isnt anything to worry about especially since everything was fine on a reboot..

Just take care to never ever pull the battery on a running system
[Desire Android Development] OpusX11:
Thanks droidzone. I used the feature quite a bit with my previous rom (modaco r9) without any force closes but that was just regular a2sd I guess.
[Desire Android Development] ace55:
thanks downloaded rom and installed fine,working great
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
By the way, this would be very useful and would provide a systematic testing protocol for release..

Do you know a site where we can exchange idea and group edit such a document?

For starters, here's a short list I compiled:

http://pastebin.com/2GhDxECn
[Desire Android Development] jamadant:
installed and loving the speed, going to keep an eye on battery usage seems a little heavy. Changed bootscreen to dancing android (need to change bootanimation in both media and resources for it to work).

thanks for the rom
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Good to read when some users have so many issues.

If you made it right from the 1st try, I guess everybody should be able to do the same ;)
[Desire Android Development] BelgianAtheist:
Made the jump and am now in 1.3.2

Had done the DataMigration a few days ago.

Now flashed the ROM and straight after the ReInstaller, then reboot ...

I did get a little nervous when the phone was stuck on the "HTC quietly brilliant" screen for a solid 5min but then it booted and everything was fine!

Excellent ROM!

(and I managed to get rid of CarHome/Launcher, cleaning the cache did it)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Good to hear that! :)
[Desire Android Development] mark1316:
great rom do you have plans to jump on the HD rom side ?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Porting HD to Desire? Not atm..

Could make HD roms for HD if I had one..a device that is :)
[Desire Android Development] craig1965:
Thanks droidzone after all the kernel problems with the new data2sd scripts

Reflashed today with 0.7 data2sd works perfectly with neo's 875mv kernel good job

Crate of beer coming your way
[Desire Android Development] huzi7868:
hi droidzone wondering if u can make something like this or know a way how to get folders like this looks cool
[Desire Android Development] bermuubeli:
New data2sd and a lot of applications

Anyone else have problems with huge amount of applications on the new data2sd? I did a full wipe/fresh install of SB 1.3.2 today and it seems if I restore 150+ applications (I know, insanely much, but hey, I had storage space to spend), I will get stuck around ~150 with "Installation was unsuccessful" -messages or even a complete reboot during installation. This situation can only be fixed by uninstalling something, after which I can again install one or two smaller programs before ending up in the same result. So definitely something is running out of space, I guess.

I tried to do a full wipe/flash and go back to 1.2.1 (since I wasn't sure what was causing problems) and restored all the applications successfully and then did the migration to the new data2sd and now I'm stuck with HTC logo and it will never write the "quietly brilliant" text anymore.

So I will flash next the 1.3.2 and use the 0.7-tiny data2sd, so it will work, but I just thought I'd report this :)

Thanks for the great work, droidzone & Sibere :)
[Desire Android Development] [deXter]:
Well, with the new Data2SD, the dalvik-cache resides on your internal NAND memory, so if you have too many apps installed it's possible to fill it up very quickly! (Unless of course, you resized your MTD partitions like I did)

To confirm this, open a terminal (terminal emulator or adb shell) and type the following:

/system/xbin/busybox df -h | /system/xbin/busybox grep mtdblock

This will list your disk/partition usage.
[Desire Android Development] IndicaviA:
Download app called Folder organizer (from market, ver.3.2.10). Then you can make such folders. It has several useful functions (labels, groups of progs etc.)
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Did you resize your partitions?

ATM I have close to 120 apps and only 1/3 of the NAND is used. I could easily have 300+ apps before getting into troubles with space on NAND.
