[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tejasrichard:
If you are still s–on, it kinda sounds like you never did the second part of the rooting process. If I remember correctly, toast's original root process was in 2 parts, with the second part coming out a good bit after the first part...so, if you rooted it the first week it came out, you don't have true full root, you have partial root. Look for toast's guide and do the second part. Or you may be able to run unrevoked method.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evolishesh:
Make sure that you are rooted before doing anything else to your phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evolishesh:
+1. Please read the second part, so you can be or get fully rooted. If not try Unrevoke , and make sure to download the HBOOT drivers, prier to rooting.

Am i better off just running the universal autoroot?

and then flashing the kernel and rom i want?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemaldo:
Use unrevoked its quick and easy and gives you full root and unlocks nand once you do that nandroid backup with clockwork and flash amon_RA make sure you get the radio updates install the hboot drivers before you do anything
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brad_Dubbs:
Thanks Everybody

Thanks for your help guys, i went ahead and used an Ruu to update all my outdated stuff, then used the universal autoroot (im lazy lol), flashed the rom i wanted and just finished flashing the kernel. I would recommended that course of action for anybody in my shoes.

Glad I went for the ride, I've learned so much about the android platform this last couple days.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Just read a article that someone posted in the xperia arc forums, and it has a chart with all US carrier pre-froyo phones and how long it took to update to froyo once it came out in may...

Aparrently, only like 7 of 41 pre froyo phones were updated o.o

Andof the samsung family tree, the intercept is the only one to get the update.

I wish I knew how to post links, cuz it was an interesting chart and It shows me we're not alone in this plight.

And, honestly, atleast we got a semi-official froyo build out...the x10 owners are stuck with eclair and a statement from sony erricson saying how they feel the custom 2.1 is on par or better than vanilla ui lol
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Also, the Evo and Droid x had a waititng time of 41 days.........

The n1had a wait time of 6 days lol
[Epic 4G General] magoo5289:
This link has some info on it. Some guy says you can get it in the Sprint store. Until we get other confirmation though, I call BS. Then again I've also heard Tuesday may be OTA, which may corroborate the above statement. Either way, it is all complete rumor and no sources have proven to be reliable.

[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Wow sasung is just circle jerking. I wanna know what's so different in the vibrant 4g that it has froyo but the regular vibrant doesn't.

If I'm not mistaken, the only difference is the hspa+ radio and ffc right?

And nah you definitely won't be ale to get it from the sprint store lol and I doubt it'll happen this Tuesday. They're just hanging the carrot infront of our faces, but I don't cre to follow it anymore. If they decide to cut the string and give us the carrot, I'm happy, but now I'm just indifferent when I see it.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Thanks super bovine!

Looks like htc has the best update record, excluding the n1 since its a direct google line lol

Samsung=1 phone

Motorola=2phones

Htc=3 phones

No matter how you look at it, these are horriblenumbers.

Hello I'd like to clean my phone up

What can I remove from it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
For one, once you've flashed a ROM you can remove the zip, so lose the MIUI zip. If you're okay with storing your clockworkmod backups "off-site" you can copy them to your PC and delete them from your phone. You'd just need to put them back if you needed to restore.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSilverStig:
You could also get rid of the soff assuming you dont need to turn your s off, again. Personally I know what I need to keep on my sd card and swipe it every once in a while if it gets cluttered. Although I have almost nothing on it other than a few pics.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PerkNick:
I like to keep them on due to errors with flashing :). Just some of the folders like SeCURetSpyCam I don't know what it is and whether to remove.

I haven't tried the droid 2 but I have the droid x

So far I have really loved this phone. 4.3 inch screen is awesome, the processor is great, and the camera and hdmi is just fantastic. I did have issues with the first phone I received, the camera didn't take as good quality as I thought it should. Now that the X has a rom called Liberty it is even that much more awesome.
[Droid X General] chefthomas99:
I have processed my exchange for a Droid X. Looking forward to it!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] djpierrens:
can someone please help me?

I have tried many builds and they are all unusable for me when they are using SD partition.

Disabling it makes it usable again but no user space!

I have tried CW method of partitionig and GParted but always same result

My SD is Class 2, don't know if that is problem... tried many times to format it... tried many NAND ROMs.

Please help!!! :confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] LiFE1688:
Brand, size of your sd card?

What format? Windows?

File system used in ext partition of sdcard?

Try a HDD benchmark test on your SD card. If sustained write is less than 2mb/s, then you want to use SD Card Formatter 3 with ERASE FULL (ON) and RESIZE (ON), if still slow, time to buy a proper sd card.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] stento:
i noticed it by myself. got a 16 GB class 2 SDcard and since NAND-roms its really messy, changing the screens by sliding (stuttering - and gets worse the more apps are on it), loading apps are much slower than with SD-roms.

i ordered a 8 GB class 6 SDcard last friday, hope to get it tomorrow. will check it out with a fresh format and install asap. will come back and post my experience.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] djpierrens:
It's Kingston Class2 16gb.

First partition is FAT32 15gb, and second is 1gb EXT3 (also tried with EXT2 & EXT4).

It's strange but I remember that SD builds were much generaly faster (thats not the case when I turn off this partition).

Here are results:

Read 10.130 MB/s

Write 2.163 MB/s

I think they are good for Class2.

Any opinion is welcome!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] LiFE1688:
Eww.. Kingston MicroSD. :p

You're right, their speed scores are pretty good. Stuttering is usually caused by slow reads, writes don't cause stuttering, except mainly when installing apps. Your card isn't corrupted, because the speeds are exactly on spec.

Well, the first few days of using ext partition on SD card for A2SD+ is going to be slow, till everything is written on the SD card, then it speeds up considerably. I recommend, try using it for 2 days, and see if you can't stand it.

SD builds already have everything in the SD card, including data.img where userdata is stored. However, with A2SD+, everything is in the NAND, but the application will move to SD Card ext3 partition, at the same time the Dalvik is also being moved there too. So yah, it can be slow, until everything is done scooting over.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snaury:
I bought my HTC Desire HD a several days ago and it was T-MOB001. When I checked for updates it offered me 1.75. However later I downgraded it and applied radio S-OFF + SuperCID. The only update it offered me was 1.32.405.6 (from 405.3), which I installed. Even 1.72 was not offered to me. Why is there such a difference, 1.32 vs 1.75? After reading some forum posts I was under impression that HTC ROMs are supposed to be more up-to-date since carriers need to apply their customizations. I remember I read somewhere there were some serious bugs in 1.72 and that's why HTC pulled the update, but can't find it anymore. :-/ So is that true? Was 1.72 buggy and is HTC working on fixing it?

Also, does anyone know how update check is performed? What information is sent to HTC servers, what are urls, etc.?

[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Not your fault..You probably asked while I was adding the screenshot..And thanks! :D

Yes indeed. By the way..that version of CWM is buggy.. ;)

Yes it is real :D

This is Data2SD...Much better than A2SD..It will move everything to the sdcard! :)

And you can go upto 2Gb for Internal memory..Not that you need it though!
[Desire Android Development] huzi7868:
sick any bugs and whats the battery life like am on leedroid so far i need a new rom
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Battery life is as good as Leedroid, since it shares the Leedroid kernel. I havent tested battery life though, since checking my roms continuously by flashing means my phone is a glutton for power.:)

So far, no bugs..I've tested it a lot..Still, the instructions have to be followed as per OP. If you just install the second file right after flashing the base rom without booting into the system once, it will loop. Also like any Data2Sd setup, pulling battery "may" cause boot loops..I havent had any so far though
[Desire Android Development] huzi7868:
you a legend man been looking for something like this thanks;)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
:) I've been using Sibere's scripts for a long time now..But till yesterday there was no flashable zip for his script..Yesterday I made one, and this became possible

you cant make ext4 on windows :( cool anyway when i do get that partition i will flash this straight away :)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Gparted is the easiest. Just download the Gparted iso, burn it to a cd, and reboot your pc to run it..
[Desire Android Development] chzro:
Hey everyone. Okay so the following questions will be easy for most of you guys here.

This will be the first ROM i am going to flash. So i have got a few questions. Firstly, if i ever want to go back to the original ROM, what do i do? I don't get the partition procedure so if anyone could help me out in that, it'll be appreciated. :)

Secondly, if i'm successful with flashing this ROM (hopefully) n later on i change my SD card l 'cause i have a class 2 4 gb card whch came with the phone, will that mean i have to go through the whole process again?

N umm could anyone of yu simplify the steps for a noob like myself please :/

N i want ALL HTC widgets, so does this ROM have all of them or not cause i read somewhere the developer striped off a few.

And thank you for such an awesome ROM :D
[Desire Android Development] thehrushi:
I partitioned using disk utility on Ubuntu.... Is there any other way to do Ext4?

First one I kept FAT (there was no separate mention of FAT32) so I just applied FAT storage. What next?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It's not supposed to be Fat, it has to be Fat32.

Partition it again..Use Gparted this time. Burn the LiveCD and delete all partitions you have.

First Partition: FAT32

Second: ext4
[Desire Android Development] thehrushi:
okay... trying that right away! :)
[Desire Android Development] termenk11:
hi droidzone! just want to ask why does the starburst 1.4 is 275 mb compared to the starburst 1.1.1 which is only 144mb? just curious. thanks for your awesome work! keep up the good work!
[Desire Android Development] Sm0ken:
1. FAT32 14,3GB

2. ext4 580MB

I used a Gparted livecd

btw before the DATA2SD script my people app & phone app seem to work ok
[Desire Android Development] thehrushi:
i did a reflash (didn't repartition it, cz windows showed it FAT32 when I connected it :P ) and it worked! didn't take the loading time n everything looks good. :)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I'm assuming you're rooted! :)

Use HTC Sync to backup your contacts. Use MyBackupPro Root (from Android market) to backup your contacts, messages and everything else

Reboot into Recovery. (Switch off phone, then press Vol- and Power button to boot into recovery)

Clockworkmod>Backup and Restore>Backup

This will create a whole mirror of your existing setup into a folder /clockworkmod in the root of your sdcard. Such a backup is called a Nandroid backup. Copy the entire folder into a safe place on your hard disk

Also copy the folder rerware (the backup created by MybackupPro)

Now download a tool called Gparted LiveCD. Burn the iso to a cd with Nero

Boot your PC with the cd in the drive and your card in the card reader connected to a usb port

When Gparted boots up, choose the disk corresponding your card from the dropdownlist. It might show /sdb or /sdc

Very imp: Confirm that the size of the card is correct. If you do it wrong, you might delete permanently your whole hard disk or part of it!

Choose the device, click on the colored tab, right click and delete. It will now show unallocated. Right Click, and choose Create a partition: This step must be repeated as follows:

1. First partn: Fat32 Primary

2. Second Partn: ext4

When you partition, Sibere recommends that you use the MB align mode instead of the cluster mode. This will improve card's write performance.

Now click apply

After gparted finishes, put the card in phone,and follow instructions as per the OP (first page)

If you Google it, you can see tutorials on Gparted.

There is a method to change cards. Recreate the fat32 and ext4, with ext4 preferably of same size. Restore the Nandroid backup, and you're done.

Everything released by HTC is here on this rom. You ought t read posts more carefully. I released a program which can remove HTC apps for you. It's an option. The rom comes with the full list. Nothing is removed. And some additional utilities are added
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Are you by any chance using an MTD partition hack, an Oxygen Hboot or an N1table Alpharev? These have to be reverted to stock before doing this procedure/
[Desire Android Development] Sm0ken:
I always had the stock partition sizes.

Anyways now the rom is working propperly. I downloaded the D2SD zip again, selected English UK as language, didn't set up my google account on the first boot and now it works.

I can't tell if the problem was the zip or my account :confused:

The two zips (first download/second) were of the same size.

However, I am happy it worked out well :D

Thank you for the rom and the support :)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Androids are weird, huh! :D

Setting the google account any any point doesnt make a difference.

Yes, the zips are supposed to be "almost" of the same size..scripts are just plain text..a difference of a few bytes is all the difference b/w the two, but that is enough..Will do the trick, dont worry :) Hope the filenames are different though, :)
[Desire Android Development] chzro:
yes i am rooted, clockwork v2.05 something lol

so i still have to wipe my whole phone?

n umm Gparted, i only have to partition my SD Card eh?

sorry for asking such dumb questions :/
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
You will need Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7

Wiping the whole card is better for somebody who's not sure about things. :) No offence meant..Otherwise you might do something wrong in the paritioning part.

Copy your entire sdcard to hard disk along with the Nandroid backups. Then do the steps

Obviously, in Gparted you partition only your sdcard! Dont partition your hard disk! :)

See the changelog for the latest version. Added some third party apps like Astro, Titanium, MyBackupPro..You can remove it any time. :)

Edit: Also fully integrated Data2SD libraries into the Rom..
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I see that the poll results have reversed! So now, more people do not want the HTC apps removed, eh? I'm glad I didnt remove them from the Rom zip in the first place. :)
[Desire Android Development] chzro:
haha no offence taken, i'm just 15 yrs old :P i don't know a lot of things! anyhow let's get started with GParted now.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Age is nothing..I've known of 10yr olds who could hack into secure servers.. :D

No problem..Everyone is a beginner at some point..That's the reason I gave you detailed instructions..You will find that XDA is not tolerant of people posting qns without searching before..Anyway..Good luck.. :)
[Desire Android Development] chzro:
lol well yes, it all depends on one's interest in the end :)

thank you for wasting your time in answering my questions. :)
[Desire Android Development] ptulluri:
droidzone,

Since you use Edify in your Rom as stated in this post -http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=839640&page=51. Does that mean that we can use CWM 3.0.0.5 r2 .
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Not in this release, No..There are a few minor issues to sort out in Edify..This rom uses Amend..I'm still doing testing on the Edify scripts..But you will note that the patchers/mods that I have released are Edify coded...

[Desire Android Development] dannyling:
Hi yeah but I want to unlock and wake I can wake but not unlock at the moment
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I really dont have time to work on these. I've got a few zips with migration scripts, but I've not really tested them out, and cant offer any support for them if something goes wrong..

For now, the best way to switch scripts would be the titanium backup way as described in the installation section of my site.

If you need I can provide migration scripts: Stable to Beta, Beta to Settingfix etc and back, if you want to test it out..

Basically the dalvik-cache of apps on Nand fills up rather quickly on deodexed system, so in the Settingfix version (X series), we move dalvik back to sd card, while leaving system settings on Nand, so it solves the issue of settings resetting on reboot. Dalvik on Nand is responsible for the huge performance increase in Beta (W series), so expect a drop in performance.

In stable script (tiny series), we change the data partition location to the ext4 completely, so everything (dalvik-cache, settings etc) is on ext, so settings are lost on reboot.

That's how Sibere's data2sd works..

If you'd like to test out the migration zips after being forewarned, let me know.

No idea why, but the old roms are always available here

You cant. Only awake is supported, I must have made a mistake on the site.
[Desire Android Development] Borat38:
Alternative Starburst ROM download sources?

Any alternative sites from where to download Starburst? Easy-share is a real ****, cutting off its deliberately slow downloads halfway, then alloting a 20-minute waiting time between downloads. Of course the paid version removes the problem, but I don't wanna pay $59 or $30 for a full yr/3-month subscription that I'll never use again.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
See the site. There are four file sharing hosts. Plus if you use Rom manager, you get direct downloads too.
[Desire Android Development] Borat38:
Thanks droidzone. Also (sorry if this has been answered before), but is Data2SD built-in in Starburst 1.3.3.4 Main, as the first page indicates? When I delve into the how-to install threads, they all say I gotta flash Starburst first, then install Data2SDinstaller.zip afterwards.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Data2sd files and scripts are built into the Rom, but the activation of Data2SD occurs after flashing the second zip. There's a technical reason for that. Just follow the install instructions and you should be good.
[Desire Android Development] Borat38:
Alright, got it.

But--sorry to bother you again w/ this silliness, I seem to be running around in circles w/ the download host/s. When I click through to www.starburstrom.wordpress.com, then further along to download links, I get this: http://www.easy-share.com/1914157057/StarBurst_1.3.3.4.zip, which has been the head-scratcher all along. Where are the other links? Thanks!
