Please do donate - Siebre and DroidZone put many commercial companies to shame for their level of support - so that's quite impressive for a volunteer effort. We must all express our gratitude by donating. I recommend at least $US5 as that is the price of a good quality app, and even that seems like a small amount for what we get.

OK phone is working now so thank God, it doesn't seem to have broken something, it seems like I broke something, I have no idea how. I guess putting ROM Manager on automated install is not a good idea, for some reason. From now on I will download through ROM Manager but manually install.

I'd like some confirmation though on how we can preserve our apps and data across ROM versions, as we seem to be getting frequent updates.
[Desire Android Development] Memphis007:
I got two different radio on 2 different phones, same effect (both are installed from scrach with the right detailled procedure by droidzone), i'm using current widget but not seen anything unusual, and with battery snap curves, it's pretty clear, at home i got flat curves (more than 2 days at -4mA with radio on) and theses are droping seriously when i go away, sometimes the phone does not pass the entire day.
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
I'm using Battery Monitor Widget - does everything - thankfully it somehow retained data for the last month so I will have some good comparisons here.

I have NEVER touched my radio version, I understand it's best not to. Is this correct?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I can clearly trace your issue to a reboot after ROM install. If you are upgrading, you should Flash data2sd reinstaller immediately after Rom install and before rebooting. Once you go through a reboot after Rom install, flashing the rom again and redoing it wont help because you're losing data in /data when system restarts on first install.

You dont have to install new Rom version after wipe. Reinstalling it properly (with the procedure mentioned in last para) should preserve data. If ROM Manager reboots the system after Rom install before you have a chance to apply the reinstaller, you shouldnt use it (again).

It seems people have mixed results with battery life. If you suspect the latest kernel to cause battery drain, you can always flash the previous kernel from the site.
[Desire Android Development] rusty27:
i install the updated rom in recovery and installed data2sd reinstaller quickly without rebooting..but it stucks in htc white screen for long time..what is the prob??
[Desire Android Development] Memphis007:
No I'm not, was the same with the old kernel. Besides i'm on Sibere's kernel and the problem still occurs.

So i've tried différent version of starbust, 3 different kernels and 2 different radios on two phones and i still have the issue.
[Desire Android Development] perler:
I would like to push this. It' not my first flashing of roms as a cyanogen user from the beginning of the G1.

What could be the reason, when the boot process is stuck even before the white HTC screen comes up, but it continues, when I remove the sd card?

all this after installing DATA2SD and with a brand new card which got partitioned by the book?

rom version: Main Rom (1.3.3.3) – Lite Edition

data2sd: Data2SD Stable Code and Data2Sd installer (Beta) VersionCode : W6f (tried both)

Did u try a different sd card?

Sent from my HTC Desire with DATA2SD :)
[Desire Android Development] Memphis007:
I got original 4gb (class 4) in pvt4 and 8gb (class 10) in pvt1, both partitionned with gparted, fat32 2.5gb on first and 6.5 on second, ext4 1.5gb for both.

Recovery log as per the procedure detailed initially.

to late, will send after the next install attempt.

thanks for the help!
[Desire Android Development] acerlinux:
looking forward your result, :-)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
So far so good..

A few more points:

Wait for upto 15 mins for the boot after after the data2sd install.

Are you sure sure you rebooted once after initial rom install and chose the data2sd "installer" on next reboot to recovery only..

Logcat is a must in your case.

Also try stable script if beta fails, and vice versa.
[Desire Android Development] perler:
i will wait for 15 minutes, it was around 10 i think

i definitely followed the book (install, reboot, let it settle, reboot into recovery, data2sd)

will send log later

will experiment with betas a bit later in the day
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Yep that would explain it, so the whole thing was caused by ROM Manager doing an auto-reboot. I'll suggest to the ROM Manager devs NOT to have that as a default then. I also suggest putting in the Wiki to remind people to use ROM Manager to check for updates and download the files, sure, but don't use it to install or upgrade for this reason.

As for battery life, mine's dying quickly today but I'll rule everything else out first. It could just be that it is re-syncing and setting everything back up again that's doing it.
[Desire Android Development] qweasdfzxc:
It seems that freeing up the nand memory the market does not longer keep my app list. I don't know whether it is that procedure indeed or something else, so I've restore a stable nandroid backup (fresh rom flashed with latest snq- kernel, google account synced and 86 user app restored, nothing more) and I'll verify the nand memory once again. If it's full I'll clean it with the procedure Sibere told me and see what happen.
[Desire Android Development] qweasdfzxc:
Now it seems to work fine. Mystery of the faith, like we use to say in Italy :D
[Desire Android Development] Box287:
Feature Request: Can you implement a Power Control Widget into the Starburst ROM please, I know there is one available on your minisite, but I'm looking for a non-themed one.

If someone has a link, please post!

[UPDATE]

Done.

Figured it out, installed the PCW update.zip (HERE), got the framework apk from the update.zip, ran it through the UOT Kitchen and selected a custom status bar and re-installed.
[Desire Android Development] lvnatic:
Where can I find a link for the latest CWM recovery that works well with this ROM and is able to nandroid backup the entire ROM's state?
[Desire Android Development] Box287:
Link to Clockwork, but you can do a 'full' backup using AmonRa and ADB:

From an ADB shell whilst in recovery type the following:

nandroid-mobile.sh --backup --ext --android_secure --defaultinput
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
The one I run on my phone and which I consider the stablest is CWM 2.5.0.7. Link

Newer CWM except Kali-'s 3.0.0.5 R3 are crap. I dont recommend even this one because Recovery development for Desire after 2.5.0.7 were not done by koush
[Desire Android Development] OpusX11:
Its interesting that you say rom manager. After upgrading rom manager is when I had my sd card formatting problem too. I don't think I will be using it anymore for starburst.
[Desire Android Development] perler:
ok, i found something.

when I try to format the already partitioned SD card in the phone's recovery (clockwork 2.5.0.7) i get:

Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)

Error mounting /sd-ext/!

Skipping format..

I'm googling right now, but didn't find a definite answer to the problem yet..
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
That's one of the 12 points on the list you answered. You said you didnt have this issue when you answered the questionnaire last time. Unfortunately I cant help you out (much) with this problem as it's not a ROM issue, but a recovery issue.

But you will need to fix this before your try this Rom.

I'd suggest though the following:

Recreate partitions in Gparted. This time, create names for each partition (Partition labels). Next go to CWM recovery and before doing anything else in CWM, choose "Mounts and Storage>Format sd-ext"
[Desire Android Development] perler:
didn't help (and i already had labels on the partitions)

ok, I will try to solve this problem and come back..
[Desire Android Development] lvnatic:
Thanks alot for the CWM links, both of you, but I will try droidzone's version cause he said its better. My problem is that im having some issues with the partitions lately since I changed my SD card to a better one, sometimes the sd-ext isn't recognized after a reboot or when phone shuts down cause of battery, but the fat32 is ok, I can mount the SD to the PC without any problems. And now I'm having an error that says the card is mounted as read-only, can't mount it to PC and access it via phone, all the nandroid backups I make with ra recovery 2.0.0 are corrupted and sometimes I can't even deleted them from the SD. Im going to do a final partition today with gparted and copy the files all over and hope it gonna be fine with clockwork's nandroid backup, hoping for no more corrupted md5 files.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I must say that running Data2sd on a corrupt sdcard is a recipe for disaster..Better try it on another card if you have one.

Everything is back to normal for me using kernal that part of lite ROM
[Desire Android Development] zongamin:
1.3.2 to 1.3.3.4

I checked the changelog but I'm just trying to confirm something

Is there any significant performance benefit from updating from

1.3.2 with Data2SD 0.7

to

1.3.3.4 with Data2SD 1.2

I know about the app updates and Rom Manager updates - I'm just wondering about performance.

I would be doing a complete wipe and fresh install if I did it.
[Desire Android Development] OpusX11:
upgrading ROM but keeping theme?

Hi,

sorry if this is a dumb question, but would it be possible to update the instructions on the mini-site with respect to how to upgrade StarBurst with a theme? The initial instructions on the site suggest flashing the theme between the ROM and the data2sd installer, but the instructions for upgrading the ROM itself ask that the RE-installer be flashed immediately after ROM installation. When do I flash the theme then and will it break anything if it is done after the re-installer?
[Desire Android Development] philocritus:
Hi there,

I installed lite version and everything runs smooth.

I do have the same wake up lag as described before and a bit lag on market access.

Still I blame the kingston class 4 SD...

I have a question, does Lite version has GPU+ applied like standart version?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] lvnatic:
Can anyone tell me how to manually undervolt the kernel as much as I want? I want 875mV on all frequences, I used such a kernel and everything was great, but I want snq's kernel adapted to the undervolt values I want, is this possibile?
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
That tutorial is outdated. As long as you use proper framework and reboot after each update, you can mix and match.

[Desire Android Development] huzi7868:
Having problems when i go to mobile networks it fc and says settings not working ?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
There will be some performance difference because of the new snq kernel, but you can get similiar results by flashing the new kernel. New Data2sd script has a bug correction done. Older script might cause bootloop on kernel install

It's not a dumb qn. But, you should know that any Rom reinstall overwrites framework-res.apk, the main file patched while theming. So a rom install will remove theme, which you can get back by flashing the theme zip after rom zip, before data2sd script. Do take backups before you do this, since if the theme has a setting which removes cache/dalcik-cache, it will cause bootloops. In such a case, you can flash theme after the first reboot after rom+data2sd reinstall.

huzi, you're not facing a Rom issue. Maybe you installed an app which interfered with your system files. A reinstall might fix it.
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Fair enough, I have never touched my ClockWorkMod version. So newer is not better eh?? This is why I don't get why people just can't label stuff as development or production so it's clear what versions are good or what.

Anyway, on 1.3.3.4 here, no problems at all now after my nervous breakdown yesterday (which DroidZone kindly explained how to avoid next time). Hey Droidzone, in the text that flies by in your installations, maybe put some clear instructions in there too.

I also forgot to turn my phone off last night and expected it would have died, but I woke up and found the battery was fine - with 3G and WiFi connected all night.

Battery Monitor Widget showed pretty much a flatline current consumption, even though it fluctuates wildly during the day, so the basic ROM seems to be fine.

Nice work again DroidZone.

facebook push notification working on this rom?
[Desire Android Development] pranavd1980:
I presume i will get 0.96 GB without S Off......With Data2SD.....Right???
[Desire Android Development] anderl78:
Yes, you can.... but i dont think that your phone runns well with this settings. Higher frequency need higher voltage. What you wrote is like a perpetuum mobile , and I don't think that there is a kernel with this set of voltages.

Look a few of my posts back, I described how you can easily change the voltages for each frequency.
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
What are you talking about?? It's whatever you partition your card as.
[Desire Android Development] zongamin:
DroidBois - its depends on the size of your EXTx Partition

I currently have 1.2GB available, from a 1.5GB EXT3 Partition, and thats with almost 100 apps installed.
[Desire Android Development] bg_man:
I have updated the lite edition to the last version.

Performance is a much better thanks to the new kernel, I guess.

Good work droidzone and snq-.

Reverted to my kernel. Snq kernel is great but is charging in SLOW mode (usb) when connected to AC :/

[Desire Android Development] lvnatic:
Thanks a lot for this! What values to I exactly have to put to go directly to 875mV? I put '-100' and so far its stable, should I put -25 more?
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
check the values on boot with

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels

You'll get default values.
[Desire Android Development] Memphis007:

I've clocked a top score of 2421 and an IO of 5221 on your kernel in Interactive mode. The scores on snq kernel with Ondemand mode were slightly higher (2629, 6123) though I believe it has no effect on real world performance.

Can anyone tell me how can I get a power control widget for this ROM but not from the carbon ara theme? I want something as stock as possible, no transparency, no fancy eye candy, just the PCW.
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
Hi Droidzone. Finally after a week of struggling with F/C's and blaming everything, I've found out cause of the issue. Messing with different versions of Titanium backup and too many backups/data to restore. Finally my Starburst is simply working.

Tested different kernels, data2sd scripts, rom versions, repositioned sd card but now I know I was too demanding and tried to restore too many apps at once.

Swyped via StarBurst Desire.
[Desire Android Development] Fieser-Kardinal:
User Apps are not the problem, it is the Rom settings itself that will cause this issue, like sms settings, alarms, timezones etc ...
[Desire Android Development] rusty27:
ya..its teriibly slow in charging with AC..i encountered anoter issue where the charge stop at 57% and discharge even its plugged in AC mode..please help me
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
I'm on Starburst since v1.1.1, and when this thread had about 30 pages. Tested it with different themes, apps, settings versions and data2sd scripts so I'm not another complaining newcommer, and I know what I'm writing (if you reffer to my post).

Problem with settings is on stable data2sd script and it's known issue. Restoring my user apps (with or without data) has nothing to do with this and was working fine on older versions. It's more Titanium related issue or my backup data got corrupted somehow (about 300 backed up apps that I mixed and matched every reflash or update), but I had to test everything to be sure it's Titanium related.

Here are only issues caused by clean rom itself I faced since 1.3.X versions (proper downloads, checked md5 etc. and didn't have those issues before 1.3.x):

- When booting clean flashed rom for the first time, if you let the screen go off and lock before, or during initial setup - sometimes phone is not waking up and, only method is to take the battery off and wipe + reflash because it gets bootloops.

- after initial setup Sense doesn't start (hangs on HTC logo over white screen or starts > gets F/Cs of Sense and widgets processes > starts again > F/Cs > ...) but rom itself is working so it's more sense related.

- Sometimes right after flash it neither doesn't reboot (even to recovery because I don't use reboot as per previous issues with reboot option) nor close the system. Phone hangs on "Switching off" popup and only taking out the battery + reflash works.

If the rom reboots after initial setup, I have no problems with data2sd, theme, custom kernel and other mods. So only the first boot is what I have to watch over.
[Desire Android Development] PsicheAlCubo:
Hi everybody, today I tried to get quadrant benchmark expecting a result close to the one published in the first post of this thread (2630) but I had just 1440, which is still over most of the other android based devices, but quite disappointing compared to what this rom was promising.

Anyone has this issue too or any idea on how to improve the result?? I have an 8GB MicroSD Class 6 so I should have got even a better result then the one the author got with its Class 4 !!
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
1400+ is what you can expect with stable version of data2sd.

If you want to get a better one, whether you go for the beta or you read section 7 of the OP on DATA2SD thread :)
[Desire Android Development] kamarad:
What I noticed is that the score depends of the version of Quadrant used. If you use Quadrant Standard you get a lower score. I think that Droidzone used Quadrant Advanced. Is this right? If yes please tell us what version. Thank you.
[Desire Android Development] lvnatic:
quadrant is a garbage performance measurer, real-life usage is very good on this ROM and i'm getting even lower scores then you, on a class 6 card

PS: any news on a power control widget that doesn't modify the ROM? I mean I want stock just with PWC added, no transparency and no blue stuff please

[Desire Android Development] DarkDragon03:
So I had the exact same problem as this guy, kept getting the same error in logcat, and stuck on HTC screen. What fixed it for me was from going from Clockwork 2.5.0.1 to Clockwork 2.5.0.7. As soon as I updated to this, my phone boots up every time with no issues, and Data2SD is working as well.

Just a possible solution to anyone who may be getting the same logcat error.

You mean the beta, right? I have the prior version and would be interested in testing if the full-nand-problem is gone.

Could you provide a few more infos about how it works now? Were is the dalvik now, and so on...
