Perfect - thank you

Works perfectly for me - like having a new phone!

I used Easeus Partition Manager to create a FAT 32 and ext3 Partition (1.5GB).
[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
heh if you'd posted that an hour or so ago I'd have given this ago - but just flashing back to my unrooted state now and calling it a day
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Well you could save 20M by deleting what's inside app and data but I'm still surprised by the size of your dalvik cache with only 140 apps. I have 120 apps and my dalvik is about 60 Mb.

wipe dalvik in recovery and reboot.

With 140 apps the reboot is going to take a while tho.
[Desire Android Development] BelgianAtheist:
I think I'm having the same thing, I have about 180 apps and all of a sudden I started getting "invalid package" when installing an update or installing a new app and I've had my first reboots since installing the rom...

I uninstalled a few games and things seem to be going smooth for now.

Here's the result of "du -sh *" on my Desire:

15.6M app

2.0K app-private

6.5K backup

115.9M dalvik-cache

7.5M data

2.0K dontpanic

512 drm

6.5K local

2.0K lost+found

40.0K misc

4.0K property

508.5K system

hmmm, there I thought my memory problems were finally gone but now I need a bigger cache partition, but thanks for being so responsive!
[Desire Android Development] IndicaviA:
After wipe dalvik cache and reboot the phone freezes at white screen with green HTC logo...I waited for 30 min. Then I pull battery out. Will try install from scratch.

/EDIT: I did clear install Rom with Data2SDinstaller w3. After that I restored via titanium (all apps + data , without system ones).

Terminal emulator now shows for:

/dev/block/mtdblock5 147.6M 135.2M 12.5M 92% /system/data

So it is slightly better, but not as good as I expected. Any suggestions? It seems that it is better for me to install ROM with Data2SD 0.7 tiny version I think..... :/
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Yes if you have tons of apps, don't use the beta data2NAND version.

It improves speed but introduces a limitation with the space available in NAND for dalvik-cache.

if your SD is fast enought, use Data2SD 0.7 tiny version
[Desire Android Development] IndicaviA:
Ok. But it is funny when somebody make 2GB Ext4 partition. I have 784MB, still 300MB left and already hit the other limitation of nand :-) . It is a pitty, cause your data2sd w3 script was pretty fast. Thanks for help anyway. :-)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Yes, it is..

FYI..A solution to this issue has been reported here..http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/6433-solved-messed-up-partitions-on-internal-storage/
[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
I flashed back to RUU and started to set up my phone again - put google sky map on the sd using the standard froyo app2sd feature and every reboot it loses all my apps on the sd - put in an old SD card and it works fine there.

I get the feeling the SD card is corrupt in some way - could it be caused by my messing around trying to get this working? probably more likely that the SD card is corrupt out of the box?
[Desire Android Development] AT-Mio:
Keyboard issues

I'm totally newbie but luckily could partition the SD card, flash the ROM without a problem.

I have installed only Alarm Clock Plus and Titanium Backup Pro so far.

When trying to select keyboard I can not select Hungarian but only English (Hungarian) from select language option at Lang and Keyboard.

In text settings I have android keyboard and HTC_IME mod.

Though I select Hungarian and Englsih on Android keyboard settings I have only English and can not choose Hungarian.

It looks as HTC_IME mod is overriding it.

Can I have the "generic"Android keyboard somehow to use Hungarian as selected?
[Desire Android Development] BelgianAtheist:
Ok, I guess I'll be doing that as well, speed is not my primary concern.

Is there a way to do it without a full wipe (I suppose not :( )
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
correct me if i'm wrong, but I do think I havent included hungarian language. Can check only on my pc later

But generic android keyboard is present on starburst standard
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Better to do it after a full wipe, as I don't have a flashable zip ready.
[Desire Android Development] IndicaviA:
No. Best way for me was to use TitaniumBackup and backup all apps and data (without system ones - these are red). After it is done, boot to recovery, wipe everything (factory reset, data, cache, dalvik). Then flash StarBurst. After first boot flash data2sdinstaller 0.7 in recovery. Then after system starts recover your TitaniumBackup. Reboot once. Everything should be in the state as before, but on the previous script version. Only backup and restore of Titanium will take some time. Everything else is easy.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Card corruption is likely. Try a chkdsk and see if there are bad sectors
[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
will do - are there any tools or apps/utilities to properly check an sd card? or is windows chkdsk good enough? :) thanks

[ will make a separate thread for this though as its not to do with this rom anymore ]

chkdsk from windows recovered a FOUND.000 folder with 1530 File(s) 2,805,137,408 bytes of file fragments!
[Desire Android Development] ShirazSuleman:
Quick question, this may seem obvious but I want to confirm, If I install your ROM without flashing the Data2SD installer, then I will have a stock ROM with no Data2SD?

Also, I am unable to find any download links on the mini-site, not sure if there is an issue.

And lastly, If I wanted to use apps2sd+ with this ROM, is there one you could recommend?
[Desire Android Development] IndicaviA:
If I am not wrong, this ROM is stock rom, BUT Droidzone designed it to work WITH Sibere's Data2SD and not to run as standalone version. As I know there are some patched libraries in it for data2sd. So highly probably it will wont work with app2sd+ either.

Download links on minisite are working fine. You have to click on blue earth with green pointer regarding to your choice of download :)
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Patched libs are for Sqlite, not for data2SD.

The ROM should work nicely without data2SD but I don't really the point of using the (oldish) apps2sd ;)

The non-beta version is reported being very stable on sense ROMs
[Desire Android Development] ShirazSuleman:
I've just been hearing that Data2sd is not stable but I shall give it a try :). Weirdly the download links are not showing up on Firefox for me but when I use IE, I see them but no image there just a red X which I can click on. Thanks for the help.
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Half true :)

There is still a fully stable version and a new beta/unstable development version.

You can choose whatever you fancy :)
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Migrating to stable

Hi guys

Just to let you know that a script to migrate back to stable version is on the way if you experience issues with the unstable version.

This script should keep all your data so you shouldn't have to do a full wipe but a backup is always recommended before flashing :)

Droidzone will post the zips later on hopefully today.

There should be 2 possibilities.

1/ Full reversion to stable

2/ Half reversion. This will get only the dalvik-cache back to SD but the settings will be kept on NAND to avoid the loss of settings on reboot bug. (best choice IMHO unless you still have issues with this version too). This roll-back is mainly due to the small storage space on the NAND and the issues you're getting when installing tons of apps, filling up the dalvik-cache space.
[Desire Android Development] IndicaviA:
Thanks for info Sibere. And I can confirm that non beta version is really stable. I am running your data2sd scripts since version of 1.1.2 Starburst without problems. I would stay with beta w3 version, it is also stable and really fast, but I got that strange problem with dalvik being short (maybe too many apps, but actually without system ones there is only 127 of them, so dunno what is wrong). But I am back to v0.7Tiny and no problems.

Wow. Great work guys. You are both pretty hardworkers. Thumbs up! And little question, will there be a third possibility of "half progress" for people who are on the stable version (0.7) to have settings only in nand (without dalvik)?
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Hum yes strange... I have 120 apps and DK takes about 60Mo on NAND...

That's the next step...

Let me breathe ;)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
This one should be easy and i'm glad to write this one for you since the code commenting you used makes it easy.

Flashable zips should be ready as soon as the electricity ministry restores power to my home. A big storm has wrecked the power lines. No power for around 24 hours now.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
And yes rom should work quite well on a2sd too, and I could easily add it. But its a kind of like converting new york into our city. :)

The main rom is pure sense. you can flash dark tremor a2sd on it to get a2sd-its on this forum somewhere. The rom contains many libraries for data2sd, but leaving them in place won't do any harm
[Desire Android Development] lowlow2:
In the first place, thanks droidzone for this fantastic ROM! Overall, it's doing great. No problems, anything but disappointed.

I can confirm to everyone it is very stable, but there are (minor) 2 things, issues I'm experiencing.

First is that I'm running into lags sometimes, it's very simple, before I had an unrooted stock desire and there I never got any lag. Or maybe I'm imagining because now I'm very focused on it.

The weird thing on the other side is that I just did a Quadrant full test together with my colleagues, who resp. have a Stock Desire (unrooted) and a Desire S. I don't remember the exact scores but I got around 1250 (Starburst), the stock desire 1100 and the Galaxy S 950! All running Froyo.

Also important, I (only) have a Class4 SD, 16GB, Sandisk.

My ext4 partition is 1995MB... Could the performance (speed) increase when I shrink the partition to e.g. 1000MB? ATM I have plenty of space... so 1GB is more than enough.

Second issue is the battery, it is draining faster that before. I'd say 10%-15% more battery usage. I always close everything with advanced task killer, so my memory is cleared all the time.

Thanks in advance for any replies
[Desire Android Development] daspalme:
1250 with a class 4 card?

That seems a bit low to me...i have about 2000 with a samsung class 2
[Desire Android Development] panos_ts:
Wow...

I have almost 1400 with a Transcend Class6...
[Desire Android Development] elusivecriminal:
I also get 2000+ with a thomson class 4 with quadrant advanced but the standard edition had given me 1700.

Another thing, I suppose that the most recent htc radio is recommended right? what should I do with the RILs because I am a little bit confused.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
This is too low. A reformat and alignment in Gparted may help. Also check live Sdcard test with a utility.

Class 6 is very good.

You can change kernels for this. If you are on stable script, you can switch kernel now. If on beta script, wait for us to upload the new flashable zips

Dont do anything with them. You can flash the whole radio. I recommend switching to stock before doing this. Else there can be issues with Data2sd
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Don't focus too much on quadrant.

For those who are on stable version, the lower score than beta is normal because I have added an option to the mount parameters in beta.

This option can be used tho in stable version as well.

Have a look at Data2SD OP, section 7.

I just hope that you paid a good attention at getting an aligned partition otherwise you'll get a big drop in performances. You shouldn't get any lags with a class 6 or more, maybe a very few with a class 4 and probably a bit more with class2.

The only occasions I have a lag is when I install an app. But I had lags too when I was using NAND and not the SDcard :)
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
I don't believe in battery drain.

I have a software which is giving me the instantaneous battery drain (reported from the kernel). On standby, I had about -4mA before Data2SD and I still have the same after Data2SD.

If you want to kick you colleague as*es, just go to Data2SD thread, OP section 7 and do the quadrant trick :)

Any timeline indication as to when this will be?[/QUOTE]

Cant give a timeline. There are minor niggles. Still working on debugging it
[Desire Android Development] AT-Mio:
Thanks. Is there a way to put it on? I am asking it as you said it is stock ROM with added extra features and I had this option in stock Froyo2.2.

In other words the keyboard was the same but I could choose between languages for predictive input. This was the button where you see microphone/settings icon now.

Now the keyboard is slightly diferent in color also. Is there a way to toggle between generic android keyboard and this one?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Suggest a Feature & Report a Bug feature

Introducing Suggest-a-feature and Report-a-bug..

The name suggests everything. Make good use of it..

They can be found on the minisite in the Beta tab
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Of course. Like any other keyboard toggle.

Use Lite edition if you dont like the keyboard. There will be a RevertKeyboard script uploaded in a couple of days though.

Since your language is not supported by the Rom, it will never appear in the list though
[Desire Android Development] AT-Mio:
Maybe I have to rephrase the question. The keyboard is fine, but I am missing the toggle button (2nd on the lef bottom). How can I toggle between languages of predictive word input? E.g: english - hungarian
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I got your qn. You missed my edit. The stock HTC keyboard will be available on StarBurst lite. Just flash that over this.
[Desire Android Development] AT-Mio:
Can I install somehow only stock HTC keyboard so I won't lose any other extra feature the main ROM has?
[Desire Android Development] qweasdfzxc:
I haven't experienced any reboots for 24 hours or more, finally I've synced my Facebook account with htc sense and after 10 hours here it comes the first reboot. Does this mean I can't sync my Facebook account at all? Any ideas?
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
It looks I was right. It's damn facebook causing reboots.

Swyped via StarBurst Desire.
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
I suggest you put the page links in your signature and just keep reminding people to use it when they post questions or bug reports here.

Happy to help too, but um, how do we register on the Starburst blog page to comment and contribute?

I'm actually going to pull back from this forum as it's too time consuming to read every day so I don't miss anything, and just focus on the webpage as you suggest. It's a much more efficient way of staying up to date.
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Is it HTC facebook?

Why don't you use the official facebook app?
[Desire Android Development] qweasdfzxc:
I'm also using the official android app but with HTC Facebook I could sync all the events with the calendar and link my contacts with their Facebook profiles. I know it's a quite useless feature but I kinda like it :D
[Desire Android Development] panos_ts:
I've set my Mobile Network Mode to GSM only, but every time i reboot my phone I have to set it again, because it goes back to its default state (GSM / WCDMA auto).

Anyone else with a similar problem? Any solutions?

Sorry if it's been discussed before!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Well a website would need manual updating,and I'm short on time too. The forms are just for reporting. Known confirmed issues can be added there though.

The links are to report bugs-actual bugs once confirmed on XDA. If they start posting their issues-which in 95% of cases are usermade, I would definitely not be able to personally respond to them.

On stable Data2sd, that will happen
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
I'm offering to help with the website or contribute questions and bug reports there - what is the best way for you? I'm suggesting that we can move a lot of discussion on to the website and save you time, or at least point people to that instead of asking repeated questions here like the above.

Speaking of which - so you are saying we can't maintain the network setting after reboot?

Also, has anyone had any issues with speech? My Classic SVox is stuttering quite a bit.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Edited out.......
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Caution

Hi guys!

To all StarBurst users:

I was trying to solve a bootloop issue and realized that StarBurst is a deodexed ROM... (year I know, It's in bold letters on the OP :D)

As a consequence, you should all keep away from the beta version, because I developped it with a stock non-deodexed ROM in mind.

This is probably the reason for bootloops/freezes after a dalvik-cache wipe and an full NANDs after installing about 140+ apps.

We're working on this with Droidzone and he will surely post an update when the issue is sorted out.
[Desire Android Development] pacaldi:
Always freeze on start up after the DATA2SD installer!!!

CWM 3.0.0.5

CWM 2.5.1.8

SD 16 GB class 4 14GB FAT32 + 2GB ETX4
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Wow that's a very useful post with all the needed information to provide some help.

Next time try to be more concise. Just post "freeze on boot!!!!" it should be more than enough (to ignore the post).

[Desire Android Development] BelgianAtheist:
okay, but I'm already there, I've uninstalled a few non-essential things and I don't have any problems for the moment ... any news on those revert scripts NAND > stable?
[Desire Android Development] pacaldi:
You right sorry...

I use the standard ROM 1.3.2 or lite version 1.3.0 and install it with CWM 3.0.0.5 or 2.5.1.8 on SD CARD 16 GB partitioned in this way: SD 16 GB class 4 14GB FAT32 + 2GB ETX4.

After the installation of the ROM zip i restart and all it's ok, i skip the wizar and restart the phone in recovery for install DATA2SD istaller 0.7. Now restart again and the phone freeze on the first screen with the image HTC!!!

Any tips? Thank you
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Try waiting for upto 10 minutes

I posted a URL as reply. Please give more details. This just isnt enough!
[Desire Android Development] pacaldi:
I'm waiting for more 30 minute...
[Desire Android Development] jamesbrampton:
I hope no one is going to bite my head off but...

I have 1.3.2 installed with the beta version of data2sd installed and am now a little worried because of the problems that have been reported. I am not happy with the stock kernel and am unable to change it with the beta scripts, my question is this: is it at all possible for me to flash the older data2sd without doing a total wipe and install, or should I wait for the newer version of data2sd to be released which should have the kernel problem sorted and the other minor bugs?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It will not be ready for some time. Just use Titanium backup to switch between the two scripts. Or you can use tar. I'll share Sibere's tar scripts which he sent me a couple of days back. Use it in adb to backup/restore the ext partition.

To backup in recovery mode:

~ # mount /system
mount /system
~ # mount /sdcard
mount /sdcard
~ # /system/xbin/busybox mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sd-ext
/system/xbin/busybox mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sd-ext
~ # cd /sd-ext
cd /sd-ext
/sd-ext # tar czvf /sdcard/ext4.tgz *
/sd-ext # cd /
~ # umount /sd-ext

[List of files...]

To restore in recovery mode.

~ # mount /system
mount /system
~ # mount /sdcard
mount /sdcard
~ # /system/xbin/busybox mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sd-ext
/system/xbin/busybox mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sd-ext
~ # cd /sd-ext
cd /sd-ext
/sd-ext # tar xzvf /sdcard/ext4.tgz *

[Desire Android Development] jamesbrampton:
Many thanks boss.
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Now that it's stable for you, don't touch anything ;)

We're working on the reversion script ATM.
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
So you're getting an unbootable phone with stable version?

Makes me wonder if something hasn't been done wrong with the SD formatting.
[Desire Android Development] IndicaviA:
:) . Even The Boss can make some mistakes :) . Its good to know that hope for having fast w3 script version did not die.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Well, you have to know that this moving of dalvik cache (back) to Nand was an ingenoious idea Sibere came up with. There was no way of knowing that it would have problems on a deodexed system as he uses a Non-deodexed system, and I use the deodexed system. Neither of us were having any issues till now. And even now, I dont have any issues either, other than with kernel flashing..
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Except flashing my kernel obviously ;)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
That is true!

Your kernel somehow seems to know that it is your script and that it should work!! :D
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
clever baby :)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Beta version of Data2sd has been pulled down from the site as per Sibere's advice. I recommend that those on the new script revert to the older stable script.

Method:

Use Titanium, backup everything.

Wipe in Recovery

Follow procedure as if doing a new install. No need for repartitioning though..
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Sorry about that guys. But we both tried the beta script for weeks on our phones and it is still stable. But users had too many issues during the install process.
[Desire Android Development] panos_ts:
Anyone else having FC's with Adobe Reader?

Every time I try to open a .pdf file, the process com.adobe.reader instantly stops.
[Desire Android Development] BelgianAtheist:
Yeah as if I'd install custom roms to not touch anything ;P

If I wanna go ahead faster and do it myself with your script (that droidzone posted) in between the backup and the restore I have to flash the Installerv0.7_tiny_sig right?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I'd still recommend Titanium than tar if you're on beta script..
[Desire Android Development] mark1316:
great rom just one question ? where the hell is launcher pro ? I cant see it in the apps and when I install my usual one it installs but still cant see it ? I cant run launcher pro and for that i might need to go back to the old HD rom I was using ?

Any ideas what is the issue here ?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
LP is no longer a part of the rom. Install it as usual. If it doesnt work, use adb to push it. Not a Rom issue. Refer LP documentation.
[Desire Android Development] IndicaviA:
I have installed LP after flashing 1.3.2 rom and without issues. It works normally. So problem is somewhere else, not in the rom.
[Desire Android Development] BelgianAtheist:
I felt a little adventurous so I did the tar route.

Hit a few snags, the Installerv0.7 the dalvik-cache was on the ext4 and gave errors when extracting the ext4.tgz so I backed up the dalvik-cache seperatly (and the misc, property and system directories) then successfully extracted the ext4.tgz and restored dalvik-cache, misc, property and system, setting all permissions and owners right again ...

And ...

things are looking good for at least 15min already, I did loose all my contacts but they were restored quickly.

I guess I really just don't like setting up my home screens ;)

In QtAdb on the Info tab /system still shows 87% full and /ext seems non-existent?
