I have those W8E scripts. Can I just reinstall X scripts over those?

Do I need Reinstall script or ...?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
No you need to migrate to x1 first. Refer to my download page. After migration to x1, you can apply xe reinstaller

I'we tried ti fpash X1, and afterwards I'we flashed X3E, but when I've booted up, I'we lost all my contacts, themes and lots of apps. Now I have restored nandroid and I'm back on 1.3.3.5.

What did I do wrong? What is tye correct procedure? I'm obviously missing something :(

:me stupid:
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Did you actually flash x1 installer on a system which had w version installed? you were supposed to migrate from w to x with the ' migrate w to x' flashable zip

Following that, flash xe reinstaller

Are you sure about this? This is a bug with supernova and not starburst..at least I've never seen it in starburst yet!

[Desire Android Development] Iceberger:
I've got it too in StarBurst.

I think the first time I've noticed it was in v1.4.1.0. It wasn't present in older versions.
[Desire Android Development] Necroaly:
I am sure on this rom, but i solved, i switch user agent to desktop in dolphin hd browser. When i revert user agent to android(default), this bug is on again.;)
[Desire Android Development] venomrat:
I can confirm it happens for me also. I'm on Starburst Lite 1.3.3.3

Google must have updated their mobile page causing this 'bug'.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Well, considering the fact that the new releases haven't had core software upgrades for browser, but only for market, maps etc, I'm at a loss as to how this got through into the rom..

For now, set your user agent to desktop..if I have a permanent solution, I'll patch it up

HTC Desire loops into quitly brilliant again and again

Hi All,

I have been running Starburst successfully for some time now. I had an 8GB Class 2 SD card and everything was working fine with data2SD (ext4 was 500MB).

Today I have decided to swap the card into a 16GB class 4 (for better performance). I have used GParted to create the following:

FAT32 - first primary partition of 15GB

Ext4 - second primary partition of 1GB

Then I copied all the content across accordingly from the 8GB to the 16GB.

When I inserted the 16GB into the phone it got into the 'HTC quitly brilliantly' screen and then got into looping again and again into this screen.

I took the battery out and replaced the old 8GB card. Same result.

I have a first off backup after starburst completed with data2sd but it's quite different from what I have (had) today. I didn't think that the standard copy (as it worked on non-rooted phone for me) would not work on Starburst.

Can anyone help please?

What can I do to go back to working state?

Also, how can I switch to the new 16GB card?

Thank you for your prompt reply.
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Market can only be updated by a ROM upgrade, but everything else is updated through the Market right? In which case I'm not really missing out on anything by sticking with 1.3.3.4 which seems to be working well for me.
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
I'm not the specialist, but I would do it this way:

Put your old card into the phone.

Go to Recovery.

Use REinstaller version of the same data2sd script you are using.

Run the phone and make backup with titanium.

Put new card in.

Full wipe.

Install rom (new installation).

Restore backup.

The cause of your problem is empty ext 4 partition. It's empty so system is look for files that don't exist. ;)

You are missing critical security patch.

Swyped from Desire.
[Desire Android Development] ebarten:
Hi kl_arnet,

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I want to be clear here: I did copy across ALL the content of the ext4 partition to the new ext4 partition. Further more, the problem persisted when I inserted the old microSD (8GB) card back in.

Also, If I use the REinstaller of data2SD will it not wipe my ext4 partition? In which case, how can I back it up later using titanium?

Regards,

Eran.

Hi, can you someone help me with installing openVPN to this ROM? How to add tun.ko into Rom.zip.
[Desire Android Development] Fizzerr:
Getting a reboot loop on the HTC screen after installing the latest 1.1.6a patch.

The steps I followed:

1) install base ROM + reboot = SUCCESS

2) run data2SD installer + reboot = SUCCCESS

3) install 1.1.6a + reboot = FAIL (boot loop)

Also tried reinstalling data2sd after the 1.1.6a patch with no luck. Any ideas guys?

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] Memphis007:
instead of step 3 just try to flash only the Richardtrip kernel via recovery, if you don't need else.

I think there is a slight bug with this. My time zone resets to 0:00 every time I restart it. I do not use the network provided time because it causes way too many issues since my carrier sucks and text messaging times are never right. Other than that great work!

My apologies, my bad. Info overload! Thanks again.

+1

Have tried various orders of flashing... initial rom, then update, then data2sd, etc - with and without reboots between etc...

First time looking at this rom - have no trouble with the 1.1.4 + then data2sd

all working fine - since i don't car too much if i have uk english instead of aussie, and never use any car modes... i think i will leave it in 1.1.4 for now...

all looks pretty good with 1.1.4... even though i normally avoid sense ROMs... very nice work... hope more people start implimenting data2sd again... i like it ...
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Right, it was a late night release, and though it installed fine a couple of times ok on my phone, mabe I missed something..I'll take down the patch for now..
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
All working sweet here.. I've thrown heaps at my phone, still tickin' along, no dramas, no crashes, no freezes or lock ups.

I reformatted my SD card with Gparted boot disk and copied everything back on to it. Seems happy now. Loving this ROM.

Do you guys need help starting a Wiki for this ROM, would that help?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
A few justified requests..

It would..Whenever you get time..People can add it info as and when they can..

Actually, on an installation done following the instructions exactly, there is no reason why a Rom install which works perfectly well on one phone should fail in the other. The Rom and scripts have been intensely tested before a release. Testing started months ago when Sibere started his thread on Data2SD. Only reason why this wasnt released was that a script which could effectively be flashed was missing..Once I was successful in creating the flasher, StarBurst was born..Why do you think I released it as v1.1.1? Versions 0.0.1-1.1.0 were under testing. :)

Of all the Data2SD configurations I've seen and tested (and I've been using Sibere's Data2SD code for months now) , I've never got bootloops on this one..It used to happen in old code, released more than a month ago..But this doesnt have any. And of course using the Reboot menu may cause damage and you're advised not to use it, even though I've labelled it "Data2SD safe" because I've removed Hotrestart from the options.So if you use the Reboot menu sparingly, and dont pull your battery out of the phone in a haste, and dont install exotic kernels or themes which interfere with system libraries, you should be fine..If you do any of the latter, or any other activity which may cause the phone to reboot on its own (like processor modifications, installing incompatible kernels etc), Data may be lost and you can have bootloops which cause a reinstall.

I've seen people here having problems because they try the partitioning differently, or fail to follow instructions correctly. I've spelt out the exact steps for installation at least two times, and I hope people do read those instructions and stick to them like glue.

Hereafter I wont be repeating instructions for questions asked in the thread,an explanation on which has already been given. There is a very powerful thread search facillity on XDA, use it. Also kindly refrain from asking questions on partitioning the card, Nandroid backups, Rooting, Unrooting etc which already have a lot of documentation available on XDA, Androidforums, The Unlocker etc. Do your homework before asking. This is not a one-stop thread to answer all your general queries. This is a development thread meant to report genuine bugs or wishlist, or your general happiness with the Rom :) Use the Q & A section of the Desire sub-forum for such general queries..
[Desire Android Development] Vecos:
I installed 1.1.4 with data2sd and everything seemed to work fine, until I put the phone to sleep - The phone takes a long time to wake up, and sometimes doesn't wake up at all, giving me only a blank screen... When that happens, a reboot usually follows, and when it reboots I lose all my phone/google/facebook contacts, but all the other data seems to be working fine.

Pretty much all I've done since install is import my contacts from an earlier vcf backup... Although I do have 'stay awake' on under the development options... Could that be the problem?

Thanks for any advice you can give!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
If the phone reboots in between without the safe shutdown, data would be lost. I'm not having any such problems at all.. Maybe try disabling that option? Check the processor speeds (if you've changed it with setcpu).
[Desire Android Development] Vecos:
Thanks for the quick reply! Hmm... I don't have setcpu so I haven't touched the processor speeds... And disabling that option doesn't seem to help. I'm going to try repartitioning and reinstalling using Amon ra - have a feeling it might be caused by stuff in my ext4 partition left over from previous flashes of this rom heh.

Edit: Looking further down the thread, it seems like I'm not the only one who faced the reboots/lost contacts problem... My best guess is that it has something to do with initializing parts of the SD card that haven't been used yet, which probably also accounts for the occasional bits of lag.

So what I tried was giving lots of buffer time between actions, extra time for the system to stabilize, as it were. After getting 1.1.6 and Data2SD installed, I linked my google account, set the screen timeout to 30 minutes and just left it plugged in and unlocked for a while to finish syncing everything up. Then I restored my SMSes, waited for a bit, and tried putting the phone to sleep and waking it up again - It woke up almost immediately, which I took to be a really good sign. I then rebooted the phone for good measure (no acore FC on startup!) and have been using it with no problems since.

Sorry for editing a post way back here, but it seems I am no longer allowed to post new replies to the thread... Hope someone sees this!

Droidzone - Looks like it was an SD card problem more than a rom problem... Will upgrade to 1.1.7 soon and expect no further issues. Absolutely brilliant work, and once the rom is up and working it's an absolute joy to use :)
[Desire Android Development] termenk11:
hmm...try to partition your card with no swap. are you sure you did a full wipe? do a full wipe 1st as instructed by droidzone. check his first post. anyway,try to reflash the rom. and if you're still stuck in a boot loop, try to dowload the rom again.

hope this time you'll succeed.
[Desire Android Development] kamarad:
Hallo Droidzone,

In my opinion the best version until now is the clean stock one 1.1.1 with only data2sd script. Too many new releases in too few days. You can keep in parallel the clean stock version only with system improvements (like kernel) without any nonhtc apps?

Thank you & i love my new desire since I find about your rom. With data2sd you transform my phone in a "perfect one".
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
So, basically, bug fixes are a bad thing? Hmm...

I wonder if you noticed all those people complaining about the Market not working and all the other problems. I was releasing the Stock Pb99IMG version based Rom with Data2SD and see the amount of complaints/feature requests there were? Not because of a fault in "my software" since anythinng HTC releases is closed source, but because it was there in the release from HTC itself.

As far as I know, there's nothing unclean about any of the releases. The market problem was inherent in HTC's 2.29.405 release, the kernel issue carried over from Leedroid kernel with batfix, and the lots of other issues that other people were facing were just because they werent following instructions carefully, or b/c they had crappy versions of their Clockwork recovery..See even when how a few people have had issues, others have been able to use a fresh install with each version without any problems at all?

Maybe I should listen to your advice and not improve the Rom anymore..Honestly, now I wonder why I bothered. It's not as if I'm selling something, is it? That I'm marketing something to make something out of it? I agree that I do have a Donate tab just like other devs, but as far as I know, I've done the work because I like to, and because I thought it is nice to share and improve something I like. Maybe I should call it a day..I neednt even have bothered porting my entire work to the latest Edify script so that people with even the latest versions of Clockworkmod could use it, even when very experienced coders out there are still coding in Amend..Heck, just so you know, I'm not even a coder! My profession isnt even related to software!

But I dont think the feeling is general, judging by the many Thanks I received in a couple of days, which is a rate far more than what most Rom devs have been receiving in weeks..Anyway, you guys decide. Think I dont need to improve the Rom any further and leave it at a clean stage? Let me know in any case, since the last is the easiest thing to do..
[Desire Android Development] kamarad:
hey...you understand me wrong...sorry for that...like i say in the final of my post i love your work and i change the way i think at my phone because of you...please do not stop doing what you do ...i only ask you for a clean stok rom in parallel with your custom roms.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
The clean Stock version you refer to is HTC's PB99IMG with rooting, busybox etc and no updates at all.

You can download older files from the links in Archives/Changelog. They will be there as long as Multiupload keeps them there.
[Desire Android Development] termenk11:
to kamarad, if droidzone is realeasing updates frequently, that means he's doing very hard to fix or improve the rom that he's giving us. more updates means less bugs and errors. these great devs like droidzone do this for free without getting paid. they stay at their computer for many hours in order to give us a stable, fast and reliable rom that can be use for everday life.

to droidzone..we really appreciate your rom. as i've said already on my previous post, your rom is the most stable data2sd i've tried so far. so if we can be of any help to you, like posting bugs and error. we would be happy to.

so please just continue your great work. thank you for your great time and effort having this rom shared to us.

more power to you and to your work.
[Desire Android Development] earthbellybutton:
Hello!

And manny thanks for the great rom and great improvments for memory. I'm totaly agree with termenk11 :D. So please don't leave us...there are so many people wich they need your work, to make their device the most. Onestly, i have struggling for a few days to make the partition corectly for my sd, then i did it to big like 3G :D got a few force close to terminal emulator and can't download from market, but now i'm back to normal....like 850 Mb internal memory. I'm coming from Defrost, wich for me was the most stable Rom , but now here i'm, pleased by this rom, i like the improvements.

I try the theme glass, must face it....is drain the battery a bit fast :) but i like the look, so once again thank you, and keep up the good work...

P.S. First quadrant score 1457...NOT BAD at all, cosidering that i made it with all my apps runing, not after reboot
[Desire Android Development] Shakesbier:
I got the same Problem here!

I got a question about radio! How can I downgrade my radio?

Greetings Shaki
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
The method I recommend for swapping partitions, and posted on the partitioning resources section of my site is as follows:

make titanium backup (user apps + all system data). Next make a nandroid backup in recovery. Insert new card, partition it in required way via gparted. Copy contents of the fat 32 partition from 1st card to 2nd. Insert second card, nandroid restore in recovery. Done.

In the rarest of rare cases where this doesn't work, wipe in recovery, then install sb rom, install data2sd after reboot, then titanium restore the backup you had created.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
The same way you install any radio. flash the older version like any zip if its a zip, fastboot flash if its an img and you're s off
[Desire Android Development] xsardax:
Thnx DZ, everything worked great. So, now I'm on 1.3.3.5 with X3E scripts. Is there a reason to upgrade to 1.4.x?
[Desire Android Development] puredesire:
Does this ROM works with EXT3?
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
So I should be concerned? 1.4 did not work for me, so I dropped back to this version.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
The script will auto convert any ext 3 partition to ext 4, since the script works in ext 4
[Desire Android Development] puredesire:
Even in the Lite version?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
That is for you to decide after viewing the Changelog on the site
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
By script, I mean the data2sd installer that is flashed after rom flash.

If you choose not to flash it, your rom remains stock with froyo apps 2sd, in both standard and lite editions and your ext partition would be untouched.. If you're planning to have a short stint with the rom, it isn't difficult to convert the ext 4 back when you're done
[Desire Android Development] Rust123bg:
The Best rom I have ever tried ! Much better than some of the overpraised ones :P

Very fluid and bugless :)

Cheers droidzone !
[Desire Android Development] puredesire:
Which version did you choose?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Glad you love it.. :)
[Desire Android Development] puredesire:
If I choose to install the Lite version do I need to install dat2sd installer?

If not then nothing will change on my SD card?

Now when I installed LITE version it says that I HAVE to install data2sd installer after rebooting once!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Please read the site to understand the differences between each version of starburst. The main feature of starburst is its data2sd, and it is supposed to be installed with each rom. If you don't choose to flash the data2sd installer, you become stuck with around 50 mb of free space.
[Desire Android Development] puredesire:
Very messy on the page, which Data2Sd installer should I choose to LITE?

Is it data2sdinstallerx1.zip?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
You can choose any version on its merits.. I can't be a rom dev and also have to worry about the looks of my site.. Would you rather that there was no site, and you were brazenly told to search the forum for answers already discussed months ago?
[Desire Android Development] ebarten:
I have ended up restoring my 2 weeks old backup on the 16GB card. Phone restored successfully except for those apps which I had to download and configure manually. All in all, a bit of work - but clean and smooth restoration :).

Lesson learned:

all you need to do before you replace a card (except for the card partitioning) is to backup your phone and then restore it on the new card.

Thank you all for your input and help.

[Desire Android Development] poun:
Hi everyone !

I have been reading a lot about data2sd in which I'm very interested but I'm actually using Richard Trip's Gingervillain 2.3.4 ROM with a2sd and would very much like to avoid doing a a2sd kill + init.d script + gpart + data2sd...

Could I just wipe my SD, gpart it, wipe everything on nand, install Starburst and then reflash Gingervillain on top with ROM Manager? Would that work? or are darktrevor scripts (A2SD) gonna stay with the hboot?

I already nandroided it (in case it goes bad), backed up my apps with titanium along with all my data on the fat32 partition. I'm ready!
[Desire Android Development] koukise:
Hi droidzone

Hope question is not duplicated.

Will you provide a 2.3.x version?

Regards
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Why not? I already did! It's called Supernova.
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
If you flash GV ROM , you'll get all the A2SD+ stuff back as well.

2 options:

1- install GV, remove all A2SD scripts and install Data2SD

2- install SuperNova (with Data2SD inside) :)
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Is SuperNova based on an official HTC Sense release? I'll have to check it out.
[Desire Android Development] poun:
You're right... a2sd scripts are embedded in the ROM. Guess I'm gonna have to do do it the hard way then

Thanks anyway.
[Desire Android Development] xsardax:
DZ, what am I doing wrong?

I've downloaded StarBurst_Classic_1.4.0.1.zip, booted into recovery, wiped all data and cashe, after that I've installed this .zip, rebooted into Android, skipped everything, waited for 10+ sec on home screen and then again Reboot/Normal.

When It is booting again, there is a green led lightning, but no blue flash afterwards, and when it comes to home screen, my avaliable space on Internal Memory is only 56 MB?

Am I missing something?

Appricieate.
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
I had a similar problem so I went back to 1.3.3.4
[Desire Android Development] xsardax:
EDIT: Don't know why, but after attempt #3 everything is working :)

One more question, is somehow CarbonARA and PCW affecting speed and stability of system?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Meaning it worked on third boot? Or that it worked on third install?
