Why dont you just do a full wipe and restore the StarBurst based backup? If it doesnt work, I'd guess that the backup you made was not proper (Not your fault, probably the recovery's) You cant do a selective restore of /data from Nandroid onto a freshly installed StarBurst. Since StarBurst uses Data2SD, there are a lot of scripts involved in the background..

If you're using Clockworkmod 3, problem could be that it didnt backup ur /sdext in the first place. If you didnt use this ver, probably the backup just got corrupted (the checksum should actually fail in this case. But since it didnt, it was probably the first). Either way, you'd definitely have to start from scratch if the backup wasnt proper in the first place..
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Next edition of StarBurst will have:

Helicopter mode drag and drop (press Home button twice and rearrange your screen)

Snq fastboot shortcut fixed, and the Hot restart is back-just disabled for Data2SD safety

Updated versions of everything (of course)

Funny...I was experimenting with the new version, and I actually managed to add the Z-rom style Horizontal mode desktop, by accident! :D But it will work only if Launcher Pro is enabled..

[Desire Android Development] wingnutta:
Ok, have a slight annoying problem. When first installed the ROM, i had no issues at all - everything working fine!. Data2SD installed fine, Carbon Ara installed fine! Everything was working ok!

Now after getting all my apps back on, the Mobile data side has stopped?? It was working fine yesterday and i have not installed or even updated any apps since, yet today i just cannot get the mobile web to work!

I have done numerous reboots, have changed the APN data to my backup settings (manual) from previous ROM that i know worked - yet it still keeps saying "no internet connection" - and i dont get the H/G/E with arrows at the top?

On the settings page - it just says connection failed under the Connect to mobile network part.

Wifi is working fine??

Any ideas or suggestions??

I have uninstalled extended controls to be on the safe side incase it was that (can be a bugger) - but still no good.

Its not a huge problem as i can just re-flash the ROM/data2sd/theme in the morning - hopefully that will cure it - but i was just wondering if someone might say - ah yes i know the problem etc...

Fingers crossed!

please help

hi guys,

i have been trying to flash my desire for the first time.

i have managed to install the software to go in recovery mode and partitioned my micro sd to fat 32 and ex2.

i installed this great rom and every thing works ok.

when i check the system memory the phone tells me i have almost 2 GB of internal memory.

but when i want to install apps it tells me there is no space to install apps!??

what am i doing wrong?

thanks in advance

You need to have ext4, NOT ext2! It's mentioned on at least three places in opening post

Droidzone you are a total legend, and I have been slammed in my job and feel bad for not helping out so I just chipped in US$6 for you, I hope that helps buy you a coffee or two at least to say thanks for your efforts and dedication.

When things settle down (may be a while yet!) I will try to set aside some time to help out with your wiki.

Keep up the good work!

can someone please provide an alternate link? i want to try this out. easyshare and hotfile links dont work for me.. thanks! :)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Dont clear dalvik cache or cache. If the theme is compatible with StarBurst, it should work. Tried the ones in the OP? Do they have the same problem?

Not sure what happened for you. But probably will have to reflash the Rom and reinstall data2sd..Tell me if the procedure wipes your old apps.

Thanks! No probs..The minisite should serve the purpose for now. I've tried to keep the instructions simple for most users..

If anyone feels something should be added to it/and/or would like to contribute articles for the minisite (on how to do something etc), let me know..

Why dont they work for you? These are my primary servers.

Safest way of installing themes/custom kitchetn mods:

> Titaniuim backup (only user apps)

> Full Wipe

> flash rom from scratch

> Reboot and skip configuration

> apply theme/patch

> reboot

> wait for it

> apply DATA2SD Installer

> wait for it

> Titanium restore

>enjoy

If you are applying more patches like me, (theme + own Kitchen mods in 2 separate zip files) you have to reboot every update to avoid bootloop or F/Cs It takes longer than usual so be patient and wait up to 10 minutes on the first boot as it depends on your SD card speed (it should have nothing common but in practice it has).

Also remember to choose proper Framework form the Kitchen. If you are applying just battery mods etc, use StarBurst framework from the list. If you are usiong custom theme and then you want to use mods from the kitchen, use framework FROM THAT THEME, NOT STARBURST. ;)

Example of my theme mix:

SD Cards Benchmarks on StarBurst

Hey all,

I've done some benchmarks with ATTO, Quadrant, AnTuTu and SD Card Speed Test on running StarBurst.

I mostly focused on comparing Stock Samsung Class 2 4GB and A-DATA Class 10 16GB SD Cards.

Here are my results if any1 would be interested:

Hi,

Anyone succeded with OpenVPN? I've just installed OpenVPN Settings, added config (worked with Oxygen 2.0) but when I try to turn the tunnel on, nothing happens - configuration blinks for a second and that's it, checkbox stays grey.

There may be issues on OpenVPN. This is one method which I dont use myself, so couldnt test it out. If anyone is experienced with manually adding OpenVPN support to a rom, kindly let me know so that you can help get this right for the rom.
[Desire Android Development] chiragkrishna:
thanks so much managed to get the theme,... what did you do for the battery mod in your theme?? and how to get Notification Menu Power Control Widgets mod????? thanks in advanced
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
http://circle.glx.nl/

You can mix and match your own custom theme or icon sets in the kitchen.

My options:

SCB with %, Version [A-M]:

battery style Version K, White Glowing

Themed Icons sets (Froyo roms only):

Emoticons:

B1 original Droid

Black status bar icons:

G11 Hooolm Ginger

Notification Power Buttons:

Didn't pick one as I don't use them because of Profile Settings application (automatic phone settings for different location and time) so choose yours.

Status bar notification:

(if you are usyng custom theme as I do, skip this, else mix and match yours)

Choose bootanimation: (pick one you like and choose LeeDroidv2.X as location - system/customize/resource/)

Windows animation:

I use Flip and regardless your theme window animation, what you choose here, change window animation (if you choose "do not include", you will loose your current animation effect)

framework-res.apk:

Choose StarBurst 1.2 ROM from the list or framework of your custom theme (if you don't know your framework, the safest way is to upload your framework-res.apk)

Enjoy your custom theme!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
@kl_arnet, if you could convert these posts into a howto, I could add it to the minisite, as a howto for theme installation, in your screenname/name as you prefer..

Customizing StarBurst

How to theme StarBurst:

First of all, you need to make backup of your data/rom as we don't take any responsibility of users actions and accidental damages they cause.

There are different ways of customizing StarBurst but I post you the safest way I found so far.

I presume you have all your precious data backed up on SD card (Titanum, Nand, Mybackup or whatever else you prefer).

By applying/flashing I mean "Flash Zip from SD Card with choosing proper zip file".

1. Do the full wipe at Recovery mode.

2. Flash the ROM (remember of turning signature verification off).

3. Reboot the phone (it might take even up to 10 minutes so do not panic and please be patient), and get through initial config (I prefer to skip all and set it up at the end).

4. Get back to the Recovery.

5. Apply custom theme based on frameworks not older than 2.29.405.2 series.

6. Reboot (it might take even up to 10 minutes so do not panic and please be patient)

UOT Kitchen Section (you can go straight to point 7 if you don't apply other theme patches:

======================================

If you want to put more custom updates like UOT Kitchen mods (link) remember to reboot after each installed zip to avoid the boot loop or F/Cs (Force Close of processes).

Boot Animation:

StarBurst is using the same directory for Boot Animation as LeeDroid 2.X - /system/customize/resource/

Windows Animation:

Any changes made here will override previous window animation changes so choose wisely

Remember to choose proper framework:

-For UOT Kitchen mods only, please use framework from the list (StarBurst 1.2 ROM)

-For Applying UOT Kitchen mods to previously used custom theme, choose framework used by that theme or upload your own framework.

======================================

7. Apply DATA2SD patch (remember of turning signature verification off)

8. Reboot (it might take even up to 10 minutes so do not panic and please be patient)

Restore your user apps and enjoy your unique themed StarBurst.

======================================

Other custom options:

!WARNING!

Android is Linux system so Capital letters do the difference. Keep the file names/folders in their original state.

Sound:

You can replace menu sounds via ADB Shell push command (S-ON) or Root Explorer file replace (S-OFF).

Sound files are stored in /system/media/audio/ui/ as *.ogg files so just replace files you want.

Boot Animation sound:

You can Add/Replace/Remove Boot Animation sound via ADB Shell push command (S-ON) or Root Explorer file replace (S-OFF).

Location:

/system/customize/resource/

Name:

android_audio.mp3

If this file do not exist at this location, it means you have no Boot Animation Sound and just create it to put yours.

Also please note the volume of Boot Animation Sound depends on your devices' current volume.
[Desire Android Development] chiragkrishna:
Yea it would be much better if there was a how to...

1)on themes

2)install other mods

[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Thanks! Great post...Added to minisite..under Resources section

Btw..minor typo in your signature in StarBurst spelling..
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Other mods are installed by just flashing the flashable zip
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
Exceptions are minor mods like UI sounds that you can harmless replace yourself (included in my how-to) ;)

stuck

Hallo, i'm stuck. I'm not able to install data2sd.

I've done the following

1.Using a brand new Lexar 16GB Class 6 mSD.

1.1Created a 14.5 GB FAT32 Primary Partition using Gparted in ubuntu livecd.

1.2.Created a 1.5GB EXT4 Primary Partition.

2.Using ClockworkMod Recovery - 2.5.0.7

2.1.Wipe everithing but i get the error Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 and it does not wipe. I think it is not a matter because the SD is just formatted.

2.2.Installed StarBurst_1.2.1_S_.zip

2.3.Rebooted the phone. Setup the language and other settings. Stop. I did not create gmail account or anything else.

2.4.Went into recovery mode and installed Data2SD_Installerv0.7_tiny_signed.zip

2.5.on the reboot phone is stuck with HTC logo in a bootloop (5,6,7 minutes).

I've done 3 or 4 times the steps above without any success.

Thank you for your help.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
When you see a message saying "Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2", how can it not matter? That is your ext partition, and without getting it to work, nothing will work.

Try this:

Use Gparted, delete all partitions, create both partitions again as per OP, only this time give the partitions labels. Now, before doing anything else, choose full wipe in CWM. Then continue steps
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
Try to wait a bit longer? Sometimes it take its time.

[Desire Android Development] chiragkrishna:
I meant... HTC IME mod, notification power widget mod etc... searched a lot for the notifications power widget... all ended up in boot loops... :-(
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
HTC Ime mod can be installed as an apk like any app. But I really cannot provide support/test out for themes/mods made by other devs..You can try them, and if it works, you can use it. If it doesnt work, you can try manually modify the framework to use their themes..The theming section of XDA is the place to look to for support regarding that. And the dev of the theme.

XDA is compartmentalised. If there is a StarBurst specific issue, I/other users of StarBurst can provide support here. The theming will be answered at the Theming section and general queries at the Q & A section.

If there are bootloops, the theme isnt compatible with StarBurst framework.
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
It's not directly connected to StarBurst developement but you could try "SwitchPro" or "Setting Profiles". Personally, with "Setting Profiles" I don't use any of widgets but just "Setting Profiles" button that does all for me deppending where and when the phone is. For example: If WiFi XYZ is avaiable then switch the GPS off, BT off, set volumes and ringtones and even wallpaper etc. There is a lot of configurable things also possibility to run custom applications ;)

You should try yourself.

Can you access binary newsgroup servers? Something I just though of is distributing over newsgroup postings. Google searche USENet or binary newsgroups for more information. It would extremely well for me because my ISP (Internode) gives free access to binary newsgroups.

Yeah it's damn awesome. I WANT!!!

Do we really need to wipe our whole ROM and start again from scratch to theme it? We can't just flash the .zip and reboot?

Have you checked out Droidzone's wiki? Not sure if he has something up there yet but always check there first. If not, would you mind helping out?

What kind of mods do you recommend or find useful? I really want a battery indicator mod so I can get an accurate battery reading in the taskbar and blow away some of my battery apps that are probably just using up battery and memory themselves.

[Desire Android Development] fefede:
Well, with gparted i've deleted anything.

I've made the first fat32 partion (primary) without any label

I've made the second partion ext4 (primary) wothou any label

I've copied update.zip (Clockworkrecovery 2.5.0.7

When i try to do a full wipe:

wipe data/factory reset in the CW menu:

formatting data ....

formatting cache ...

formatting sdext ...

e: cantn't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (file exist)

error mounting /sd-ext/!

skipping format

formatting sdcard:/.android_secure....

data wipe complete.

This means i'n not able to mount and format the ext4, right ??

From the menù mounts and storage in CW i'm able to mount and unmount everything except /sd-ext: when i try i get the message e: cantn't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (file exist)

Any help ?

thank you
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It's an issue with Clockworkmod, you'll have a better chance of solving it in the Clockworkmod thread or the Q & A section. The issue must be solved before installing a Rom, because the installation is being denied access to your sdext partition.

yes I had the same problem... I used number fixer wich is free in market, to correct them...
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Thanks! I will give this app a go!

As for the theme - so do we really need to reinstall the whole ROM from scratch?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I dont really think so. I installed the PCB theme without any wipe, and it worked fine. I think klarnet just mentions that to get maximum compatibility..But imho, if you havent tampered with the framework, the theme should work.
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
I've just screwed up rom so I'll test it for applying theme patches after DATA2SD patch. I know it should not be related as framework have nothing in common with DATA2SD, but I remember it gave me boot loops at first stage of playing with roms and themeing so I provided the safest way to do it.

As long as you reboot after each patch, it should be fine.

So in theory, when applying new rom patch (using reinstaller), you loose theme, but should be able to get it after DATA2SD patch. This is what I'm going to test over this weekend and include in How To ;)

Anyway, I C everyone started to like PCB theme I provided :D
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
Just installed PCB Theme and Kitchen mods (followed by the reboot each patch) AFTER DATA2SD, but it was on clean install of rom so I don't guarantee it will work every time.
[Desire Android Development] deejay6901:
thanks so much for adding up one more link.. finally i was able to download and use your ROM. I should say this is the perfect SENSE ROM for me so far, especially using the data2sd app. good work! and keep it up :)
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
I C U've done arabic version as separate rom. Good job M8!

U can bin part with full wipe in my theming how to.

Just checked all options.

You can theme starburst any time,as long as framework is no older than provided in how to and reboot is required after each patch/update.

Just might take much longer to boot up but didn't give me the boot loop.

Swyped via StarBurst Desire.
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Thanks for these suggestions. What you need to do with number fixer apparantly is make two passes, one to remove and one to add the 0 prefix. It seems I am not alone, that others are having this issue on other ROM's too, but it's random?

As for the theme, thanks I will try this out - normal precautions of backing up first applying of course.
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
DroidZone, are you planning to implement PCB theme as default?

Number fixer could be added to rom for those with number problem.

Can we backup our apps in Titanium first? Then we need to do a full factory wipe and reinstall from scratch, and re-install our favourite apps with Titanium?

Of course..That's always possible..With Titanium backup or My Backup Root

I prefer installation from scratch as sometimes just update goes wrong. Titanium scheduled for backups every night so I'm not so concerned of doing full wipe.

...if Davlik cache goes to SD, what influence will it have on Theming? I'm thinking of Windows animation effects that if I understand properly, they go to davlik cache. I'll test it as soon as you release the new version. ;)
