No, I didn't resize the partitions. I just followed the usual StarBurst installation instructions.

In addition to the standard rom I flashed the SystemAppRemover, Miui soundpack and Gloss Black and Blue Sense theme.

I might try playing with the MTD sizes a bit later as I just got everything up and running again with 1.3.2 and 0.7-tiny.

I did use titanium backup to restore the apps so I don't know if that could mess things up. I also tried it twice in a row (full wipe->flash->restore backups) and the result was identical, in pretty much the same application, which said only "installation unsuccessful", so it wasn't just some random error, as I first thought.

On the ext4 I had plenty of free space left, something like 600Mb, so the phone didn't warn at least that I'm running out. Too bad I didn't check with adb what was going on.

I will report back later if I will find out what caused it.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Wonder why your NAND filled up so fast. A dalvik-cache wipe/delete followed by a re-restore of apps via Titanium should have fixed it. If you face issues with space, of course you can use the older script which should have a theoretical unlimited capacity. While on A2sd I've noticed that sometimes duplicates and invalid entries seem to remain in dalvik-cache esp if Market data is corrupt, and that once a wipe of dalvik-cache is done, it fixes that. The issue faced may be similiar, and makes Dalvik2Nand approach its absolute limit more rapidly. It could also be a "bug" in the way Titanium restore apps. An "ls and df" should report the dalvik-cache usage. Also try dexter's suggestion and report back, if you retry the previous option.

You shouldnt have to use MTD hacks.. :) That's the whole point of Data2sd, to do away with that. ;)
[Desire Android Development] DearTanker:
What issues when it was programmed to be part of the Rom install on first boot？

I have download a version names ’Data2SDInstallerV5_Sense‘ and other one is ’Data2SDInstallerW3_StarBurst‘.

But doesn‘t work on my ROM.

I want to know which is the latest and how to get work in my rom.because your rom with your data2sd script work very quick and smooth.

PS：My rom cook by dsixda’s kitchen,just add root/busybox/Apps2sd/.

The directory of my ROM and updater-script in ROM.Could you create a version support my rom.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I'm sorry, I'm pretty engaged with this Rom and my Arabic Rom..I dont get time to test other Roms any more

But a few pointers to help you on the way..

If you're cooking, dont add a2sd support in the kitchen

Data2SDInstallerV5_Sense is the one which should work for you. Try it without adding a2sd.

By the way, please reply to this message only in the 'Sibere's data2sd thread', since this isnt related to StarBurst

Complete instructions for adding Data2sd can also be found there..
[Desire Android Development] Iceberger:
Trying removing only the Gallery3Dm.apk didn't work.

After reboot Gallery 3D is still there.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
You'd probably have to wipe cache and/or dalvik-cache after applying the remover. If it still doesnt give results, you can just install the lite rom over the current install. Before following any of these instructions, a Nandroid backup is a must.
[Desire Android Development] DearTanker:
1.What issues when it was programmed to be part of the Rom install on first boot?

2.’Data2SDInstallerV5_Sense‘ and other one is ’Data2SDInstallerW3_StarBurst‘ witch is the latest?

3.If i want to extract your script out,with files and folders should i take out?

And also add the what command in updater-script?I think you are the one who knows clearest.

I came here to ask you,because your rom with your data2sd script work very quick and smooth.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
The rom wouldnt boot up when initialization scripts were run at bootup. Also programming would need to be more complex to add conditionals to take into account new installs Vs reinstalls. There were tried, but again boot failures. In the end, more programming was postponed to a more convenient date (which has yet to come to pass)

The one for StarBurst is the latest, but contains new code which was released by Sibere only to StarBurst. So I will not be sharing the actual code here until Sibere releases it in his thread. But it wont take a genius to figure it out from the installation scripts and it is not a secret at all. Just that Sibere should be given the opportunity to release it in his thread at his convenience.

The commands/files to add are on the Data2sd thread, which is why I redirected you there. Each step-by-step procedure described on that thread is added to my Rom. You can add it to your Rom update zip just by looking at the thread OP. You can of course see my scripts for reference.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Just a quick feedback question. How many of you use Rom manager to download ROMs and would like the ROM added to Rom manager?
[Desire Android Development] elusivecriminal:
I personally prefer the old fashioned way :P

btw I had a serious issue today. I did:

full wipe

installed starBurst 1.3.2 (just with some apks removed)

boot (let it stabilize)

reboot into recovery

flashed data2sd installer (the beta one)

boot and

got a boot loop :(

any ideas where the problem is? I had done the same procedure with 1.3.0 a few days ago and had no issues...
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Well try the same procedure without removing anything and tell me
[Desire Android Development] elusivecriminal:
Just followed your advice and it worked! Weird though because when flashing 1.3.0 last week I had removed the same and even more apps before flashing. The only difference was that I had used stuffit expander in mac instead of 7-zip in windows. :confused: Thanks anyway!

edit:

I forgot to mention that I did a nandroid backup just before flashing data2sdinstaller! Is there any chance that was the problem?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Well, recompression issues can occur. I've always had maximum compatibility with Pkzip, and also Winzip once I enable "legacy compression mode". Now I usually use my own command line script and winzip command line binay. But one thing to remember is that if it doesnt compress properly, it usually interferes with flashing too. Then there is the app you remove. Some can cause issues but not others. Who knows why it worked last time, though. :)
[Desire Android Development] DearTanker:
1.I have try that,it can bootup.I think you should check it.

SD card(EXT4=800M,remain=FAT32)

Thank you,I will try.
[Desire Android Development] vietnam123:
I upgrade the Starbust 3 days ago. The new Rom isn't stable.

Today, the machine slow down and display error that SDCard unmount and readonly.

I have reflash the Startbust with file zip again.

Now I have stuck on HTC screen boot (white background, green HTC).

I can't do anything, reboot, fastboot...

Please help me. Thank you so much.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Please wipe and start over, except for the partitioning part. If you have any trouble with the new Data2sd script, just use the old one. Please dont make very general comments like "new ROM is not stable" when I have been asserting that I have not modified anything in the ROM to make it unstable.

Also when you ask for support in future, please read the minisite carefully and ask in the format I've put up for asking questions. Otherwise, when you say "I have reflash the Startbust with file zip again.", it wont make sense to us, since we particularly rely on useful info like:

I have wiped from recovery,

Then I flashed ROM,

Followed by a reboot

Then installed the "data2sd installer0.7tiny" etc, which is one example of brief but useful info. How else would we ever know what possibly is wrong on your phone?

I suggest that you wipe in recovery,

and go to the minisite and follow all instructions exactly as mentioned there, except for partitioning part. You can safely use the ROM zip as there is no issue with it. You can also use the data2sdinstaller0.7.zip for data2sd. If you dont solve it, refer to "How to ask questions for support" in Resources section and post as per that.
[Desire Android Development] seijimaddog:
Would be nice!
[Desire Android Development] seijimaddog:
I've been using StarBurst 1.3.2 since it has been released and it's VERY stable. Didn't had any lags or reboots, even performing heavy tasks.

Had that SDCard readonly problem once, but was on another ROM. The problem was an app that I had restored using titanium backup. Uninstalled that app and the problem gone. But as I said, I had that problem on another ROM, not StarBurst.

I assure you, that's the best Sense ROM. Tried every other Sense ROM, this one is the most fast and stable =)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
The sdcard readonly error is not ROM related. He just needs to find the answer in the Q & A section. It's been discussed many times.

About ROM Manager updates..I've submitted the ROM manifest to koush, and they should add it now. The significant advantage this offers is that one would be able to get OTA updates of StarBurst via Rom Manager, after this is activated. All the mods would also be available.
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Guys,

You've posted some complaints about bootloops and so on with StartBurst and data2sd, specially the new beta version.

Droidzone is doing his very best to help you out, and I'm trying to help him too with the script. But if you want us to sort out those issues, you have to help us too with infos and logs.

What I read here is only stuff like "I've done this and that and I have a bootloop, plz help"

This is totally useless and I think that either Droidzone and I will start to simply ignore that kind of useless post, mainly because we are not wizards and mind readers.

We cannot do anything without infos and logs and I haven't seen a lot of posts providing what we need.

So please post what you did *precisely* and a log of the bootloop. See minisite for all infos about how to flash/update StarBurst and how to post logs to correct bugs.

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] qweasdfzxc:
I've experienced spontaneous reboot of my desire with the last 3 version of this rom, 1.2.0, 1.3.0, 1.3.2. I'm using CMW 2.5.0.7, a 8gb class 6 micro sdhc (almost 2gb of ext4, the rest primary fat32), partition done from Linux. Every time I flashed the rom I strictly followed the instruction. What can it be?
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Do you use an undervolted kernel?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
How to ask for help regarding Installation issues?

I am quoting from my minisite post titled

How to ask for help regarding Installation issues?

If you've followed all instructions properly and still the system freezes at the HTC logo/Alpharev Joker logo, you will need to create a system error log to find out what is going wrong. The method is as follows:

Reboot into recovery.

Do whatever steps are necessary to install StarBurst (as per the step-by-step instructions)

Then, just choose "reboot" from the recovery menu.

Just after the vibration signalling the device rebooting, open up a command prompt in Windows, in the folder where adb.exe is found. (You'll need to install the Android SDK of course). To open up a command prompt, in Windows 7, rightclick the folder containing adb.exe, and choose "Open Command window here".

Now type:

adb logcat > log.txt
​

Then after a couple of mins if the system is still stuck,

Press Ctrl-C to end the command.

Then, Ctrl-Alt-Del to load Task Manager, kill the adb.exe process.

Then, type this command:

start log.txt
​

This will load the log into Notepad..

You can see what's going wrong..

Post it in the Data2SD thread/StarBurst thread and someone will be able to analyze it..

Kindly Note!

FORMAT FOR ASKING QUESTIONSIN THE XDA THREAD REGARDING INSTALLATION ERRORS.

You should post at least the following info to help us help you, if things go wrong:

Size of sdcard used

Size of each partition created and type of partitions made (Fat32, Fat, ext2, ext3 or ext4), whether each partition was Primary or secondary

Software used for partitioning (Gparted, Amon Ra recovery etc)

Recovery Software installed, with version and subversion number (Eg: Clockworkmod 3.0.0 R3)

Whether you are S-OFF or S-ON (If you dont know what this is, or you dont have the picture of a Joker holding a card, on the bootup screen, you are S-ON)

Detailed account of steps you did for the procedure, with output/errors at each step as received from the Recovery/Partitioning software

Version of the ROM you installed, and the names of the Data2SD installer/reinstaller flashable zips you used

If you're using a custom kernel, full name of the kernel with author name, the kernel voltage if known, whether you have an overclocked/undervolted configuration

Did you get any of the following messages in recovery?

sd-ext could not be formatted, file already exists?

Failure mounting 'sd-ext'

Or a message similiar to the above?

Step at which major error was noticed

Recovery log as per the procedure detailed initially.

Any additional info you think is relevant

As Sibere suggested, henceforth if a help request is posted without these information, we will ignore the request..
[Desire Android Development] qweasdfzxc:
No, I don't. These reboots occur either with the old and the new data2sd script. Although, besides this problem the phone is working really fine.
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Another weird behaviour... I had reboot with the ext2 mounted via loop but never with the last two versions... :/
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Same for me.

I had reboots with the loop too (2 months ago) which made me use MTD adjustments for 2 weeks :)

But ever since I'm on your direct ext4 code, nada..No reboots. Period. Not ever. Which is why I find it very difficult to understand what could possibly have gone wrong on others users systems..

Titanium is a likely suspect though. It has the tendency to restore system apps/files too, which in all probability will mess up with the permissions, besides other issues..
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
Probably You are right, but should we install applications one by one without saving game data? Or is restoring app data (games only) safe enough? I have another suspect - FaceBook for Sense. Before I configure FaceBook it is all working fine. After configuration of FaceBook today, I've started to get random reboots.
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Could be... I use the official FB App.

I already said that but I don't really like Titanium. It tends to mess up things big time.

I do prefer a nandroid backup or a manual tar backup too. That's what I used when I moved from loop to EXT4 and I kept everything.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Not at all. I use Titanium too. But the only suggestion I have is that one shouldnt allow the default all user apps/all user apps+system data-kind of restore. If users can look at the items selected for restore and untick those that seem system related-Eg: anything with htc in them, rosie, system widgets etc, the errors should disappear to a large extent. At least I do this, and I've never faced issues. Once I wipe and flash, this is the procedure I follow, because I'm not very familiar with tar, unlike Sibere. One more thing I've noted is that MyBackup Root (free) usually has less number of issues, which is why I've included it in the Standard StarBurst edition
[Desire Android Development] BelgianAtheist:
ROM Manager makes it easy, I wouldn't mind if StarBurst was available in ROM Manager.

But it's not super important.
[Desire Android Development] qweasdfzxc:
I don't think is titanium because these reboots happened even when I didn't restore anything. Another very strange thing that pop up once in a while is a window which tells me a processes named "com.htc.bgp" has stopped working. Could these issues be connected?
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
try this and let us know please
[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
I'm waiting for my new 16GB class 6 microsd to come before I give this a whirl as I only have an 8gb class 2 at the moment...

but is there any rom like this for the DHD rom?

i.e. stock htc with Data2SD?
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
I had issues with bgp process with slower card. Usually is related to gmail, calendar, talk or facebook. Usually cleaning cache for those apps helped.

DroidZone, if titanium makes such mess, how about tutorial of best backup/restore user apps for StarBurst?

If you insist MyBackup is better, please let us know what should we avoid when using mybackup.

I'll miss scheduled backup updates every night.

[Desire Android Development] qweasdfzxc:
Thanks, I cleared data for all those applications, now in a day or two I'll see if it's ok or not. If it worked I'll let you know!
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
I think chagrin is a strong word, I would prefer the term 'constructive suggestion'. In all the ROM's I get involved with I suggest moving in line with standard software development practice of development and stable streams, as many people are quite happy for infrequent, but stable updates, while others will jump out of their skin with excitement for the next update, 5 minutes after the last one. So this way everyone is happy.

My ROM isn't really causing any problems at the moment either, or not that I can tell, so in this instance for example, I'm happy to wait for the next version that has been out for a while and tested to the point that you are satisfied that it has no bugs, or no limitations that effect 'normal' people - such as myself who is not interested in custom kernels - just whatever you recommend that works best. For me stability is paramount as I will soon be running large projects and starting a second business on the side. I accept the risks of custom ROMs, but I prefer to minimise that risk as much as possible - hence falling in love with your hard work (you are a credit to the professionalism and dedication of XDA Forums).

So yeah, clearly stating what is tested and well known, and what isn't, should keep everyone happy - the bleeding edge feature hungry power users, and conservative boring people like me.
[Desire Android Development] qweasdfzxc:
After that I tried to sync all my accounts and com.htc.bgp keeps closing with a new process this time, com.google.process.gapps

I think maybe this time could be something restored with titanium backup, I'll wipe and flash the rom again but I won't restore all the settings, just the user apps with their data.
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Droidzone, could we implement something on the wiki to record bugs and feature requests? I'm finding it a bit time consuming to keep up with the discussion thread and I'm concerned that I may report or discuss something that has already been covered - which would be understandably frustrating for other participants.

Something worth considering is Jira - last time I checked they provided free online bug tracking accounts to open source projects.

Something I'd like to report is SVox Classic - I have it set in Tasker to read out SMS messages if my BT headset is activated - however it's stuttering now. I don't think it's an issue with SVox Classic.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
There is a discuss tab and beta tab there which I've put up there for such a purpose. Noone has used it so far other than some erratic users who seem to think that they can get a customised direct response to their most idiotic questions by using that. I wouldnt dub them as idiotic if it had anything to do with StarBurst at all. Because of that, comments there are moderated and need approval, but if traffic increases, I'd have difficulties doing that, and would appreciate it if some resourceful people can come forward to help moderate the comments on the site.
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
OK sign me up, that can be my one contribution to XDA. I can't afford much time wise but I presume most of us here are time poor. Happy to moderate it and remove the noise. Would you also like me to contact Atlassian and see if we can get you a free online account for bug and feature tracking?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I tried to apply for JIRA, but I wonder if this satisfies their licensing requirements. As you know, this isnt open source. We're taking a closed source product HTC has developed, and modifying it. In strict technical parlance, it might even be termed as hacking

So.. Or we'd have to start it as an android open aosp project and branch it to include this..

We may be able to open one under Data2SD though. Since that can be called open source. However requirements seem stringent. We need a publicly accessible website for the project and a download of the source code for them to use.

Go ahead and try applying for JIRA

hi guys i wipe my dalvik-cache... how long it takes to rebuild dalvik-cache... mine is stuck at htc white screen... any ideas
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
I'm gonna get really picky with that but for f*ck sake give more infos when you ask a question! How may apps installed, which version of the rom, etc...

It's like asking "I can't start my car this morning, any idea?"

Sent from my HTC Desire with DATA2SD :)
[Desire Android Development] [deXter]:
Will be glad to help out if needed. :)
[Desire Android Development] qweasdfzxc:
So far I've wiped then flashed again the 1.3.2 with the new data2sd script. I've restored just the user apps with titanium and synced my google account. Everything seems to be working fine. Now I'll sync my facebook account with HTC sense and see if it keeps working.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I myself was trying to test my theory about Titanium. I wiped, flashed, and restored "Missing apps+all system data" in Titanium without even deselecting anything. Everything restored fine and there were no issues. I wonder why then all these issues some users are reporting. Is there something extraordinary about Sibere's and my phone, that they're immune to issues? :)

But judging by the huge number of downloads from my servers (I do monitor these), and by the number of people reporting problems, I have to believe that people with problems on install are a miniscule minority..
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
I'm glad to hear that.

It's gonna save me lot of time after next reinstall especially I'm doing backup update every night.

Regarding issues - Amon Ra, reboots and patience make things go smoothly.

No issues since v1.1.1 ;)

Just sometimes new ROM crashes after clean installation (before initial setup and data2sd). I've checked hashes. After a few tries all went OK.

Swyped via StarBurst Desire.
[Desire Android Development] daspalme:
Well i also never had problems restoring with titanium.

I think the users with problems used the "restore all apps" instead of the missing....maybe this causes the problems?
[Desire Android Development] SirHades:
I tried this yesterday.

My SD card was already FAT32/EXT3, with Amon Ra. It works alright with LeeDroid and App2SD.

So I did my backups and a full wipe. Flashed the rom, started it once, then flashed the Data2SD zip.

From this point, it starts and enters a bootloop. Every once in a while I see the sense lockscreen, but it mostly just sits writing Quietly Brilliant over and over again.

Coud it be that I have to re-format the SD card with Amon-Ra to install this rom?

Or maybe my device is one of the few unlucky ones..

Cheers!

I had this idea too. But I'm still waiting for the mods to remove my last poll here. I requested both the mods on the Desire Forum but unfortunately they seem to be too busy.
