1.5.1.0 FTW!

Hi Droidzone, good to see you back. Thanks for the great work on 1.5.1.0. It's working fine on my phone and Transcend Class 6 16 GB SD card so far. Seems very quick after using Gingerburst for a week or two. I'm S-Off so 1.5.1.0 worked just perfectly for me after the reboot.

Once again, thanks for a great ROM.

Booce.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I appreciate the feedback. This wasnt a scheduled update. But I found a bug with the last version, which wiped my existing apps, hence this update. The only confirmed bug reported last time with a Market download issue has also been fixed..

As far as speed goes, this is indeed the fastest, and I'm definitely sticking with this for my personal use.. :D
[Desire Android Development] YorickRise:
Hi,

You meant 1.5.1.0 or another new one? Does it consist "Script upgrade for iData2SD"?

BTW, update (s-off) from 1.5.0.0 according to installation procedure (no wiles, pure reflash) will not touch my data/apps, right?

BR,

Yorick
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
1.5.1.0 was uploaded today. Yes to all your other qns
[Desire Android Development] YorickRise:
Hmm, some issues with update (classic 1.5.0.0 to 1.5.1.0, s-off)

Android Market, Titanium and ROM Manager (all manually updated by me before update) seems to be gone - not listed in apps drawer, yet when I try to install them from apks installer claims reinstallation. Settings generally went away... I'll try reinstall of Titanium + restore (from today's backup prior to update)

Update: finally decided to nandroid backup and will retry update in the evening.

Maybe my exchange policy messed up something as after flashing there was no question for PINcode (forced by policy). Just pure guess. One more thing - File expert was available (visible in app drawer), so even while updated manually. This breaks the lead of possible problems of (change log based) application update in 1.5.1.0 vs. manually updated ones.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Market's missing? That's weird! Anyone else?
[Desire Android Development] wackymix:
Hey, nice rom, but i have a question. after 30 minutes the meteo doesn`t work. it keeps telling me that it doesn`t exist meteo information. anyone can help me ? i try to activate gps, but that doesn`t solve.

Mention: I use only wi-fi for data.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I honestly havent used this app, and judging by the writeup on the market, it doesnt work in India either. So I dont know why it doesnt work. Contact the app dev, maybe? Last time I tried to solve an app dev's headache was with Adfree and I ended up spending a lot of time on that when the bug was in the app and not in my Rom!
[Desire Android Development] wackymix:
The problem was that i`ve installed the new version of Market v3..2. Ive put the old market that comes with your rom and its working greate now.
[Desire Android Development] wingnutta:
Peeps, quick one here,

Went to upgrade from 1.5.00 to 1.5.1.0 and this is what i did:

1.Installed ROM

2.Flashed x6reinstaller straight away (s-ON)

3.Booted up ok, but had no data2sd

4.Flashed reinstallerx5 (that was what was used in last ROM flash)

5.Booted up fine with data2sd enabled.

Now how would i flash the x6 version of data2sd? And is it worth it?..

Cheers
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Would it be possible for u to upload a copy of the file created after running getlogs?
[Desire Android Development] wingnutta:
Er i will try...

edit: OK here it is... have no idea what it contains! :D

edit2: Strange - it says the Data2SD is renaissance edition - but i definately used the X5reinstaller! - And it works all ok?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Nothing to worry about. You forgot to run it as root!
[Desire Android Development] rusty27:
hi

i want to ask how to upgrade Data SD from X5E to latest X6E??
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Flash the latest reinstaller after a backup
[Desire Android Development] AT-Mio:
website

When I try to reach droidzone.in website it always redirects me to here http://starburst.droidzone.in/index.php where i-MSCP appears and my username, password does not work on this site.

How am I able to reach Droidzone website, download page?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Server seems down. I believe c0urier is upgrading the server.

See Post #3 for new links

Sorry about reverting to Hotfile/Easyshare again. I need to make this project self-sustainable (in terms of costs involved), and the file share model seems to be the only viable option. I'll be resending the direct links to donors. In case one of the latter is missed out, contact me via email/XDA id PM email for your links.
[Desire Android Development] AT-Mio:
Thanks

I have StarBurst 1.4.1.0 (could not install Classic as I am S-on) and want to upgrade to 1.5.1.0 but as the site is down with instructions I think I have to wait until the site is on again with detailed instructions.

Maybe it's foolish to ask but would you recommend StarBurst or GingerBurst for Desire? Are there any issues, bugs with GingerBurst?
[Desire Android Development] wingnutta:
Doesnt work for me. Data2SD is not present when i do this. Have to go back to the x5ereinstaller and then all comes back fine.

I tried doing the x6Installer first but also no good. Any other method to get from x5e to x6eclassic??
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
You can install Classic even if you are S-On.

Install the latest Classic without a wipe

Immediately Flash latest Reinstaller for Classic without a reboot

Immediately Flash the attached Override flasher for Classic without a reboot

This will work only if you were on X/XE versions of Data2SD

I remember that your Data2SD version was showing differently in recovery. Can you attach the Getlogs once again and post it here? Please post as a quote here, or use pastebin and post the link here.
[Desire Android Development] UltimateGoblin:
Hi all, I am finally considering the possibility of rooting. I have choosen StarBurst because of its speed and stability over the other two ROMs provided by Droidzone.

First off, I need a SD card.

I have seen this Adata class 6 8Gb on Ebay. What do you think about its performance on data2sd? StarBurst is going to use it intensely. The card has got lifetime warranty, but I am concerned especially about its reliability (=no sd crashes) and performance (=write/read speed).

Anyone has tested it yet? Any reports from Adata card users? Droidzone, would you recommend it to me? Have you got any special suggestion to make? I'll keep that into consideration!

Thanks everyone for your help, I'm getting ready for my "first time"... :D
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I can recommend only the two cards which I've personally used:

3CPro 16Gb Class 4,

SanDisk 16Gb Class 2

The former has better performance and has never shown any signs of corruption. If you search the thread, you'll find both good and bad performance reports about any cards. When my server is restored, you can even look at a poll about working cards. Sorry about being diplomatic about it, but I can only vouch for cards which I've handled. :)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It's not a silly question. As I've asserted many times, all Gingerbread Roms are plagued by kernel support issues and do not give the performance comparable to StarBurst. Though on Froyo, this is the best if you crave speed and stability for everyday conditions. I use SB personally.
[Desire Android Development] UltimateGoblin:
Don't have to excuse yourself, I just wanted to hear your experience ;) I think that a class 6 card could benefit to the overall speed of the phone, so that's why I was asking confirmation about the card I have found.

Hope that the servers of your site will be online soon ;) Thanks again for your support!
[Desire Android Development] fredinator:
I would like to try StarBurst but I can not download it. There is some login screen and I don't have a login.
[Desire Android Development] UltimateGoblin:
Servers are temporarily down. Please refer to Post #3 of this thread to see the new links.
[Desire Android Development] fredinator:
Ah well... I made a beginner mistake. I'm sorry. :(

Should have read all of the first posts.
[Desire Android Development] Borat38:
droidzone, what's the Override Flasher you attached as a zip on this page, and under what circumstances does one need it?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
In case you're on Standard/Lite/old Classic version, this might try to get the Classic to recognize that you already have a Rom with Data2sd installed. It helps if Classic fails to recognize your partition and formats it.
[Desire Android Development] AT-Mio:
When I first installed StarBurst Data2SDinstaller tiny v1.2 was the latest and therefore I have used it again when installing StarBurst 1.4.1.0. Probably I was a chicken and could have used the latest Data2SDinstaller on the 2nd time as I have installed it after a wipe, reformatting etc.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Oh well, you'll need to follow the migration instructions if you need to preserve data as that's a very old version. My site's back up.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Sdcard polls

The sdcard poll links have been added to all three rom sites. Please utilize the information on it, and do register your votes if you havent already done so!
[Desire Android Development] Hasan10:
Hey

First of all this is a great ROM.

I just have one little discomfort;

"Slow-scrolling" on this phone seems choppy/laggy, as in if you drag an icon around the desktop really slowly it seems very laggy. Same goes to scrolling in menus and web pages when doing very slowly it is very choppy. Any suggestions?

EDIT: I AM SORRYYYYY!!! A simple reboot fixed the problem. Thank you for your effort in this ROM I am loving it.
[Desire Android Development] wingnutta:
Here it is.. hope you can help. As said before i use x5e reinstaller to get data2sd back running fine.

I just cant seem to get x6e to work? :(
[Desire Android Development] UltimateGoblin:
Hi Droidzone! I want to report a broken link on your site. You can find it in the Download Links section. As a matter of fact, the broken link is the Guide for Installation for Dummies! : D I assume that the broken link would have redirected to the "Step-by-Step method of Installation for the Newbie for a First Time Installation" that can be found at this URL. Am I right? :)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
While on x5e, flash override script, then flash x6e.

Yup. I've fixed it. Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] fredinator:
So I finally installed this rom and everything works but not to sync with my hotmail account. Everytime I try to create it, it says "Error. Account could not be created. Please try again later." It worked before I installed this rom. Does anyone has an idea?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I dont use Hotmail so I cant comment.. If it worked on 2.29.405.5 Stock RUU, it should work on SB too
[Desire Android Development] fredinator:
I thought so too, but it doesn't. I try again later. Maybe MS is working on it currently. And I have another problem. I have the game Oregon Trail and when I start it, it tells me that it can only be run on an SD card with at least 250MB. I use a 16GB card. 11GB are free and I made an 1GB ext4 partition and there are still 700MB free, so I guess it does not like this rom.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Hmm.. Try contacting the game developer with StarBurst specs? I could try patching it to bypassing that message, but it's a time consuming affair. Last time I tried fixing Adfree, and the dev fixed it himself the very next day (which is actually easier since he has the source code)! ;)
[Desire Android Development] OpusX11:
Fast!

I've switched a 8gb Transcend class 6 card, and the rom is even faster and feels more responsive. With the older snq- kernel that addressed by bluetooth issue, this rom is pretty much perfect. I'm not sure I understand the hype behind GB roms, I can't see the experience being that much better with that update.

Its only been a week on the new card so it is a bit too early to tell whether i will experience the same type of corruption that I had on my crappy a-data, but it is looking good so far.
[Desire Android Development] fredinator:
Oregon Tral works now but this error with hotmail still persists. I did a reset via recovery manager and set everything up again. I will go back to my stock rom tomorrow and tell you then if it works again. Thats stupid ... I really want more space but on the other hand I need my hotmail account for sync. No ideas what I could try to make it work?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Can't think of a solution unless I can understand the problem. As I said, I don't use hotmail at all and hence can't test it out..
[Desire Android Development] fredinator:
I tried SuperNova and it worked too and then went back to StarBurst and again it did not work. Now I'm back to my backup and it works. With SuperNova I did something wrong during install because there was no Data2SD active.
[Desire Android Development] wingnutta:
Sorry to be a pain Droidzone - appreciate the help. Shall i flash the installer of x6e or reinstaller after the override script?

Cheers!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It should be reinstaller if you want to preserve data. INstaller will wipe everything on ext4!

Do backup before this..
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
I've got the same card running data2sd for ages now, and never had any corruption.

I would not recommend class 10 cards. Class 6 or 4 cards should be fine and even faster with data2sd than class 10 cards (read my other post about sd cards performances with data2sd for more details)

Sent from my HTC Desire with DATA2SD :)
[Desire Android Development] fredinator:
I give up. I tried creating the hotmail sync with StarBurst without Data2SD and it does not work. Then I tried to recover my settings with titanium and it does not work either.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Tried it yet?
[Desire Android Development] untitledmangxg:
sorry for asking such an stupid question?on starbust site i can download that rom only if i register??????

...nevermind....found it! thx

Question For Sibre

Hi Sibere, I was wonderining if there is any performance difference if specifiying different block sizes for the fat32 partition? Can I ask what block sizes you use?

Thanks in advance,

Booce
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Try the Download page now. It's been added.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Sorry about that. The link should have appeared below the login form. I've readded it now,
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Hi

Of course it's making a difference. But you'll get even more performance out of your SD if you align the FAT32 partition AND optimize the FAT32 formatting process.

I use 32K blocs and I aligned my FAT32 partition to the nearest MB (even though 256Kb should be enough).

I strongly recommend reading the 1st post of my thread where you have all the details about the process and a link to this page to get the best out of your SD. Follow the 3 steps thoroughly. You can adjust the values to you needs but the background remains the same. You can forget the "-H 224 -S 56" option when formatting with fdisk and use the default ones. Choose a beginning at 512 (256K aligned) or 1024 (512K Aligned) or 2048 (1Mb aligned, safe choice).

good luck :)
[Desire Android Development] wingnutta:
Did it today! - What can i say Droidzone, your magical incantations worked a treat! :D

Many thanks dude!

Droidzone.in site changes

Hi. Most of you must have noticed the few changes on Droidzone.in over the last week. There are both good and well, unpleasant ones too..

Added Multilanguage support for the site. Most of the mainstream languages have been added to the site. I'd like to get feedback on how it functions.

Direct links converted (back) to File sharing links. Donors will be provided the links on the password protected page like 'yester-days'. Kindly contact me for your passwords (preferably from your email id used for the paypal transaction, or your xda id if it's known to me)

Some ads on the site.

Sorry about the latter changes, but these will provide a slow trickle of revenue towards maintainance of the site and incidental expenses. Of course hosting and mirrors have been freely provided by c0urier and Daniel, but these will henceforth have downloads other than the Rom links. I understand that this is a nuisance, but is an unavoidable menace.

And I'm flabbergasted by the site stats. It tells me that there were more than 730 unique visits from the US alone yesterday.. But it seems to me that only users with issues bother to post on XDA or hit the Thanks button. :D Guys, if you love the Rom, Sibere and I would love to hear it from you too. Do post your good experiences too. Otherwise newcomers to the thread would get the impression that the Rom has only issues!!

Mount as Disk Drive Using USB on PC

Sorry, but I know this is a noob question. I just want to know if I install Starburst will I still be able to mount my phone SD Card as a USB disk drive on my PC, i.e., on phone:

"Connect to PC / Choose a connection type / Mount as disk drive" - the standard way of accessing SD phone storage from a PC.

I understand that only the EXT4 partition of the SD card is used for app data, the rest isn't and so I wonder is this remaining space what appears as a drive in Windows when you do the above ?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Of course you can!

The Fat32 partition will be mounted. The ext partition will not.
[Desire Android Development] huddie:
Great!

Can't wait to get it installed! I'm sooo sick of people recommending me apps that I can't install cos I've got no space!

Thank you! Stay tuned regarding my tests on the new GB Rom

Idiots

"Our engineering teams have been working hard for the past few months to find a way to bring Gingerbread to the HTC Desire without compromising the HTC Sense experience you’ve come to expect from our phones. However, we’re sorry to announce that we’ve been forced to accept there isn’t enough memory to allow us both to bring Gingerbread and keep the HTC Sense experience on the HTC Desire. We’re sincerely sorry for the disappointment that this news may bring to some of you."

Idiots.. they should have a look at Data2SD!
[Desire Android Development] OpusX11:
Maybe they monitor these forums and do not want to get into the business of poor user experiences because of poor quality micro sd cards? We need to appreciate that most of their users will not know or care enough to research the problems they are facing, they will just say Android (not even HTC) sucks and go get an iphone..
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Well, maybe :)

But how hard could their teams have been working? We got the leak 4 months ago.. It does look a lot like the one that was just released. At least a proper kernel, or failing that, the kernel source would have been nice.
[Desire Android Development] jigners:
I wonder what HTC thinks of Data2SD. I believe there is a great opportunity

that exists here.;):)
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
To get a fully functional and stable rom, I really think we need the latest kernel sources used by hTc for their ROM.

And it's a shame that they didn't upgrade sense ;)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Agree wholeheartedly. So I've gone for ext3 in this Rom. Doesnt seem slow. Lack of journal is a disadvantage of course, though I remember that you never used a joutnal :)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Agree wholeheartedly. So I've gone for ext3 in this Rom. Doesnt seem slower. Lack of journal is a disadvantage of course, though I remember that you never used a joutnal :)
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
I still don't use journal on my phone (and never had issues so far ;) )

But EXT3 comes with Journaling so you should be able to use ext3 and journaling.

Talking about speed, apparently your C4 SD card is very good :D

Migrate from Starburst classic 1.4.1.1 (Data2SDX1) to 1.5.1

Hi,

I'm using Starburst classic 1.4.1.1 (Data2SD X1) since May without any problems on my Desire (SD 16 GB/class 10).

Now I would like to migrate to Starburst 1.5.1 (and Data2SD X6).

What's the best way? Can I just install 1.5.1 and after that Data2SD X6 over my existing installation? Or must I do a wipe before?

Or should I first install Data2SD X6 with Starburst 1.4.1.1 and after that Starburst 1.5.1?

Regards,

Garag
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
SB users, you can now upgrade to the latest SuperNova based on official HTC GB without data loss
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Flash the override script I posted a couple if pages above, and then flash latest classic followed by re installer
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Ha.. I'd forgotten that it has journal too. Anyway all's well now, as I've changed it back to ext4.
[Desire Android Development] fredinator:
well I got it to work with Hotmail as Exchange Server but I had to use "Improved Mail" app. Now I have another problem. I want to try SlideIt (other keyboard) and after I install it I can activate it but it won't be used. The preinstalled keyboard is still in place. What can I do?
[Desire Android Development] dk.baxter:
Have you tried to change the keyboard? Long press on any textbox and a popup will appear, choose Input Method and you should see a list of available/active keyboards
[Desire Android Development] fredinator:
Ah thanks. Didn't know that. :o
[Desire Android Development] RMarkwald:
I have a stupid question: My gf just got a HTC Desire on US Cellular, which I promptly used AlphaRevX to S-OFF/Root. She was having issues with memory (low memory error which seems to be this phone's biggest issue). After I migrated all of her Phone contacts to Gmail, removed FB and other bloat, the error hasn't returned. But I am getting ROM flash happy.

So to the stupid question: Will this ROM work with GSM and CDMA, or is it specific to one? I didn't see anywhere where it said in the OP or on the mini site. If I was to screw up her phone, well let's just say I don't want to screw up her new phone.

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Works only on GSM
[Desire Android Development] garag99:
What's the best way to upgrade?

Just install SuperNova_Classic_2.0.2.0.zip or install Data2SDReInstallerSNXD3.zip as well? (Or Data2DSInstaller?)

Thanks in advance

Follow instructions on supernova website
[Desire Android Development] garag99:
I've red it, but I'm not sure about the point "Updating the ROM over an existing ROM when there is no significant change in Data2sd code".

Last time I installed Starburst 1.5.1 and Data2SD X6E.

With Supernova there is a Data2SD version SNXD3.

I don't know if ther is a significant change in Data2sd code.

can I just install supernova or must I install or reinstall data2sd as well?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I did say "Supernova site", not "StarBurst site"!

Data2sd code is similiar and can be upgraded. See this
