i partitioned my sd card through recovery and did it and mine is running smooth:D
[Desire Android Development] qweasdfzxc:
I think on the mini site is written "...prefer the MB align to the cluster mode..." but I'm not sure, check by yourself and wait for Sibere :D
[Desire Android Development] mrjonnyrock:
I have had to get a new Desire as the old one had a GPS fault.

The thing is the new one is well very new PVT 4 and it seems very unstable with this ROM. It locks up and i get application failures and have to force close them. Default apps i have not even installed stuff from the market yet. I don't issues with other ROMs, and i have tried 4 others now :(

sux coz i like this ROM :p
[Desire Android Development] qweasdfzxc:
Anyway, I'd like to say thanks to Droidzone and Sibere for one of the best rom here. Starburst is the first rom I've ever tried and, so far, it's the fastest, the smoothest and with the best data2sd experience. Surely the best HTC sense rom here on xda, imho. I'm currently running a HTC sense HD rom to try the new interface and I've also flashed a couple of gingerbread roms, but this one is still the best. Thanks for your work and for your patience with noobs like me :D
[Desire Android Development] mrjonnyrock:
I had to try this ROM again because it really is one of the best Desire ROMs atm.

I also think i have found the source of my crashing apps/phone with the ROM.

Looks like its setcpu. The Kernel allows you to set the CPU to 1xxMhz and this i think is the problem, my phone hates it.

Anyone else got this problem:confused:
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Try different kernels and increase the clock speed in very small steps..Try using the Neo 1000 mv kernel. Should have minimum problems if you keep clock speed standard. Different devices may have different thresholds for overclocking. I myself never overclock my phone, as I dont appreciate any difference. Also, since I have a non standard battery, I stick to the aforementioned kernel.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Good for you. However, in case you ever have problems in future, please mention this point when you report any issues..
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Anyone else having Market crash issues? When I try to open Market it just shuts down after a while on a white screen and the animated waiting circle.

I noticed the following in my logs - may be related - not sure if it's ROM related or what:

DZ & kl_arnet: thanks for the replies. I got back home and put the sdcard into my adapter and into my laptop, gparted views it as a totally blank 16gb card, prior partitions are just gone. I was able to successfully re-partition it, and am in the process of copying the latest versions of the rom and d2sd scripts to it. No idea what happened, but good to know that its not that bad to recover.

The lesson I have learned is never leave home without your sd card adapter!! :)
[Desire Android Development] OpusX11:
oh and kl_arnet, its an A-data 16b class 6 card to answer your question
[Desire Android Development] ilahk:
multi-touch

After flash the 1.3.3.1 version and the data2sd, i found i cannot use multi-touch on my phone, is there any setting to enable it??
[Desire Android Development] BelgianAtheist:
Had the same thing a few times, just reboot, and it should work again
[Desire Android Development] Stephen88:
I have the same problem, I have install starburst 1.3.3.3 and data2sd 1.2 stable

but each time I reboot the desire the radio is set to automatic, and the check mark

reappears on debugging.

How can I fix this? Help me please.

Sorry for my bad English.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It's clearly mentioned on the site that if you use the stable version, this will happen
[Desire Android Development] Lanbase:
Hi droidzone, is there anyway to change timezone manually through adb (Modding some file or database) I am using the stable version but travel between timezones frequently. So fixed initial setup is not good on every location. It's only the timezone that bugs me, alarmclocks and all ;)
[Desire Android Development] mrjonnyrock:
i think that i found the reason for setcpu not working. I don't that there is anything wrong with set cpu.

If i run Linpack for Android for example, i only get 3 MFLOPS. Any app that test MFLOPS either takes a very long time to run or just seems to lockup the device.

Restore the original phone install and Linpack for Android completes in seconds and get around 30.

have you got a link to the Neo kernel please?
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
no one having issues with Market not opening up?

[Desire Android Development] mrjonnyrock:
yes, i have had a few odd things with market in the past few days. Also on one or two other ROMs not just this one.

Release! System App Remover Utility/Script

Ok, So I posted a small poll on this thread today, asking you to vote whether or not to remove system apps which you might infrequently use, from the Rom before releasing it..

Unfortunately :) the current vote tally stands as thus:

21- for removing them

16 - for keeping them in the Rom

2 - dont care :)

Guys, you're making this difficult for me! :D

It's too low a margin to decide one way or the other..

So..what I've done is, I've created a utility to remove the crappy apps.

Right now, the list includes:

FMRadioWidget.apk

FriendStreamWidget.apk

MusicWidget.apk

NewsReaderWidget.apk

NewsReader.apk

StockWidget.apk

TwitterWidget.apk

Flickr.apk

FriendStream.apk

Gallery3Dm.apk

Facebook.apk

HtcFootprints.apk

HtcFootprintsWidget.apk

Stock.apk

teeter.apk

Quickoffice.apk

facebook.apk

HtcTwitter.apk

Instructions:

Flash the Main Rom from recovery.

Then either flash the zip immediately, or do it after the data2sd installation is over.

Have fun..If you dont want to remove all of this, just remove the line corresponding to the app/widget you want to keep, from the file remover.sh and then run it.

Download Link
[Desire Android Development] hsahin4:
Ok but I dont know how can I do that. (to save to the nand)
[Desire Android Development] huzi7868:
are the links up and how long am in england
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
:D

Even though there's 10 mins left, if there's a minor power failure, I'd have to do it from scratch!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Reuploaded - Latest Release - StarBurst 1.1.4 ROM

Ok, done!

I've uploaded it...at last!
[Desire Android Development] muml:
Does it remove all of them or is it possible to choose?

Can't wait to flash the new version :)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It will remove all of them.

But, just go into the zip, and edit /scripts/remover.sh, and remove the line corresponding to the app you want to keep. :)
[Desire Android Development] marjanstrife:
is there other way to create ext4 partition beside gparted ???
[Desire Android Development] thehrushi:
wow... been waiting for this all day! :P

Flashing it now. :)
[Desire Android Development] huzi7868:
yes in recovery i did it
[Desire Android Development] thehrushi:
it says "loading" it may take several minutes on home page. how many minutes? I've waited about 10!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
What? Where does it say that?

Recovery? Or after entering the HTC desktop?

And what homepage?

Please describe exactly the steps you followed. Eg: I first booted to recovery, flashed Starburst1.4.zip, then I rebooted....etc....etc
[Desire Android Development] thehrushi:
People and Calling screen are gone!! :|
[Desire Android Development] cosmin_tm:
Do i need S-OFF for this :):)

Tnx
[Desire Android Development] thehrushi:
1) I partitioned memory card.

2) booted into recovery

3) flashed zip (starburst main file)

4) rebooted and waited 15 min

5) it loaded but hitting "Phone" doesn't work. its gone from menu and also people app is gone!
[Desire Android Development] Sm0ken:
Hmm, I'm also having problems getting this ROM to work.

In my case its a bootloop issue.

1. I booted into recovery

2. Wipe Data / Factory Reset

3. Flashed Starbust

4. Rebooted

5. Configured language & wifi & gmail

6. Waited a few minutes

7. Rebooted into recovery

8. Flashed the D2SD installer script (not the reinstall zip)

9. Rebooted phone -> bootloop
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
That's the weirdest problem I've heard so far! :)

How exactly did you partition it?

What recovery are you using?

Do this:

You need to have 2 partitions. The first one (in serial order as seen from Gparted) must be Fat32, the second ext4. ext4 must be between around 300mb-2Gb

Do a full wipe now from Recovery

Install the main rom zip once again

When its over, reboot system and tell me what happens
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Whats your partition structure and what did you use to partition it? And the size for each?
[Desire Android Development] thehrushi:
doing it again...
[Desire Android Development] hsahin4:
What is this? is it updated version? if yes Turkish locale is embedded? I hope :)
[Desire Android Development] Stephen88:
And there is no way to solve the problem?
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
OK, done with the SD card reformatting. The same thing happens. While restoring Titanium (user apps only, no data) phone randomly reboots and I'm getting F/Cs of SENSE. Looks like latest rom doesn't like me or Titanium ;)

Have any1 got issues with titanium on 1.3.3.3 / W6f ?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Yea. Use the beta. ;)

We do need a logcat of the error, e2fsck log and tune2fs log to determine the issue. If you're on the latest version of data2sd-beta or stable, get the following files:

/cache/log/e2fsck.log

/cache/log/tune2fs.log

plus the realtime logcat at the time error happens.

I can assure you that there is nothing new in the Rom which can possibly cause this. It is the same 2.29.405.5 base and the only differences are system app updates..

Edit:

If it occurs only in Titanium restore check that you're using only the option:

"Restore missing apps + all system data"

No other option should be used.
[Desire Android Development] mrjonnyrock:
So after trying almost every ROM and many different kernels, i have found that i can not use setcpu on this phone.

In every case it crashes the phone. So either i have a rubbish CPU or my phone is newer and could possibly have a different hardware config, however minor.

I am also having a the same Random issue i had with my original Desire. That is it reboot randomly when using the GPS. This is my 3rd, yes 3rd phone:confused: :eek:

HTC Desire sux :mad:

My Desire HD works flawlessly, and has from day one.

I have installed this ROM again, out of all the ROMs i have tried i like this one the best :D
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
DroidZone, I was always using user apps (with or without data) and it was working perfect. Never used restoring System Apps as you wrote some time ago it couses F/Cs and is not recommended across different rom updates. Since 1v.3.3.3 there are issues with Titanium. I'm just back to 1.3.3.1 and Titanium restore went flawlessly. No crashes, no F/Cs. :D Sorry, but I was for about 3 days without the stable phone so I'm not going to test 1.3.3.3 for at last few days ;)

I'll wait for next full release to test it. Lite versions are just not for me ;)
[Desire Android Development] whips:
Had that problem but it was fixed after I cleared market data
[Desire Android Development] x11freak:
I've been using the StarBurst rom for several weeks now and didn't had any problems... until now :(

Whenever I try to install an application (tried several!) I get an error message saying the package is invalid. When I look into aLogcat, I always see this recurring error when trying to install a package:

[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Do a du and df from adb and see if your system is full. You're on beta script, right?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Clear dalvik-cache from Titanium and clear Market data. May be an issue wth the new Market included in the new Lite.
[Desire Android Development] x11freak:
Thanks, will try that... but, tried a clean dalvik-cache first, system is still starting-up (white HTC screen for 15mins now). I hope I can get things back up & running again, I'll keep you informed.

The installed version is StarBurst 1.3.0 if I'm not mistaking...

(going through some scary moments now)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
The normal dalvik-cache wipe has issues on stable script. The version of StarBurst doesnt matter. It's the version of data2sd that we're concerned about..

Thanks to testsimš for the donation!
[Desire Android Development] RazorHail:
I have a big problem with the Wifi

on some networks, it always disconnects after a few minutes of perfectly good connection....

of course wifi-sleep is turned off...

is there a fix for that?
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
Just sent you a bear Droidzone. Cheers!
[Desire Android Development] x11freak:
I see... so, better not have done a dalvik-cache wipe? I guess I'm going to have to reflash the newest rom (1.3.3.1) with the newest Data2SD (1.2tiny)

I just noticed a remark at the beta-data2sd, saying: "In some users, the apps limit may be reached very quickly. In them, after a critical number of apps, apps may fail to install." This sounds like my original problem...

So, just to be sure... you recommend to use the 1.2tiny with 1.3.3.1?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It's a bit difficult finding a solution when one doesnt have the problem..Unfortunately..or fortunately :D I dont have such an issue.. What Radio are you on? Upgrading to the latest radio might fix it..

Thank you, x11freak and kl_arnet for your generous donations!
[Desire Android Development] Stephen88:
Should I use the data2sd beta?

Just curious why this happens? I have a pvt1 Desire.

How do I switch data2sd stable to data2sd beta? I must

need to format everything?

Thanks for the help you're giving me.

I hate you Droidzone!

I couldn't help myself. Installed 1.3.3.3 and cleaned Dalvik cache under titanium as instructed. Also deleted dodgy backups. Titanium restore went OK. Everything is fine so far ;)

SNQ - I assume it's kernel dedicated to Starburst. Downloaded, flashed, booted OK. Cheers!

Just flashed snq's kernel after nandroid back up no problems so far if anything phone seems to run faster

I'll give it a few days see how it goes compared to sibers kernel
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Clearing Market cache and data, rebooting, forcing it stop, etc didn't fix the crashing issue, is still crashes with a that log entry about too many login attempts. I wonder if it has something to do with the recent Android security scare.

So I tried backing everything up and doing a factory reset via Recovery (Clear Data / Factory Reset), but now my phone has been stuck on the white HTC boot screen for about 10 minutes, is this normal?

Maybe I should just pull the battery, re-install the last ROM version I have (3.3.1 I think) and then reinstall only 'green' apps and Accounts data from Titanium.

Can I just do a
[Desire Android Development] acerlinux:
I saw this for the beta data2sd script version w6f

Since the diff is probably just move few things back to the NAND. I presume the internal storage is only about 147MB right? So my question is, for those directories been moved back to the phone storage, are they growing ONLY when we install apps or the system will continue to write to those directories? In another words, if I have all my apps (I am not going to install more) and didn't hit the limits (let's say there are still 40MB free). Will I potentially hit the storage limitation later by just using the phone? I guess the apps data, SMS, contacts and more all of these data will not affect those directories (dalvik-cache, system, propery and misc) right? Or, do you have any recommendations about how much space we should left in the NAND if we using the beta data2sd script.

Pardon my ignorance in this area. Your kind help will be appreciated. Personally, I really prefer the faster speed to the huge storage cause I do not have tons of apps, roughly 150MB to be more specific.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Yes you should. You should see the code (data2sd.sh) in the flasher for details of the code we use. This is because Dalvik-cahe is in the sdcard.

Other questions are already answered. See the Installation section of my site.

Thank you, snq-

If you do a " factory reset via Recovery (Clear Data / Factory Reset", you have tio flash the rom immediately because that wipes out your ext4 partition.

Best method:

Titanium backup from workiong version

Wipe data/fact reset

Install ROM

Reboot

Install Data2sd Installer

Reboot

Titanium restore: "Missing apps+all system data"
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Thanks DroidZone. I am currently on Starburst 1.3.2 and I notice 1.3.3 is out, however I normally like to sit back a version or two and let others discover issues. Are odd numbered releases are now 'development' or 'test' releases btw?

Either way if I need to do this to try and get Market working again, I may want to consider upgrading to the latest version anyway. I notice the following changes since my current version of 1.3.2

[*] Busybox back to 1.17

[*] Updated for ROM Manager updates (pending acceptance from koush)

[*] Latest updates of Gmail, Titanium, ROM Manager

[*] ROM Manager OTAs

[*] Leedroid/snq Kernel-2.6.32.15-leedroid_2.3-chgrmod4 snq@drone #1-Battfix kernel with Carcharger mode fixed

[*] Sibere’s battfix kernel as optional download on ROM Manager/Site

[*] Market updated to 2.3.3

[*] ROM Manager support added

[*] Gmail updated 2.3.4.1

[*] Busybox back to 1.17

[*] Additional Locales and APNs on par with Standard edition

[*] Malware protection patch added

Is the Malware protection patch to do with the recent Android security scares?

I'm wondering if I can't get in to the Market because I am on an old Market version or something.

--- Edit ---

Damn it, I now sport the latest ROM version, but the Market STILL won't run - just prompts me to accept the T&C, goes to the white screen, and then back to the home screen.

Weird.

I will try removing my main google account link, and then re-link it.

[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
Hi DroidZone, it's me again. :D

1.3.3.3 is going to bin for me. Cleaning Dalvik cache helped for about a day. Today, while installing new applanet it crashed and I'm getting F/Cs of whole Sense related apps and acore process (phone). It's too unstable for me. Going back to 1.3.3.1 that worked smoothly. Any chance for flashable security patch? Or instructions where to put those blank files? THX.
[Desire Android Development] frodefx:
I was suddenly getting a reboot on my phone today, battery level was around 40%.

When phone was booting up it was just looping at the HTC with the quietly brilliant text.

Removed the battery and phone has not been able to get back to booting.. just gets stuck at the loop.

After this i went to clockwork recovery and did: wipe cache partition, and clear dalvik cache.

Now the phone has been stuck at the clean htc logo for 16-17 minutes. I got alot of apps installed, but i dont think it will take this much time to rebuild the dalvik cache?

Should i not have wiped any of these?

I did not perform a backup after the starburst installation, so i think i will need to start at the beginning again, if i dare to install this rom again now? I've read a little around the topic and there is quite a few people experiencing issues now and then..

Again, it's sad to own this phone without D2SD..
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I dont think the phone will allow you to do that. Btw, never do a factory reset unless you plan to reinstall the rom with a wipe. It will only cause a bootloop/

It's an empty file: /system/bin/profile with permission 644

I cant advise you whether you should do it or not. If you can follow the instructions on the site word-for-word, it should work. If you cannot get it to work, there is an A2SD version.

When I tell people to partition with Gparted, some people just ignore it and partition with recovery because it's easier(?). You'd be primary targets of errors. You should understand that each word on the Instructions page is important to get an error free installation

Is anybody else having the issue of the People app (your contacts) force closing when you try and add a new contact?

I'm running 1.3.3.1 with the W5f Beta version of Data2SD..
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Your Nand may be full. Try a df in root directory and see the free space. You may use the stable script if you have such issues.
[Desire Android Development] dk.baxter:
How do I do a df in the root directory?

(Mega quick reply btw!)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Do the following in recovery: (You can do it in booted system too, but the mount commands will be different)

adb shell
mount /system
mount /data
cd /
df > /sdcard/log.txt
exit

adb pull /sdcard/log.txt
start log.txt

Post the contents of log.txt
