I was wondering is there a way I can check what ext is my partition. I'm currently using A2SD with leedroid, but i dont know is it ext3 or ext4. I did it too long ago to rmb. :(
[Desire Android Development] huzi7868:
av installed the rom did a full wipe partitioned memory card to ext 4 installed the rom till it was stable went back into recovery flashed the data2sd it said aborted
[Desire Android Development] emperor4her:
same here.. any help?
[Desire Android Development] huzi7868:
funny thing is my kernel is leedroid 2.3 how do i change it or do i have to
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Data2sd cant coexist with a2sd+. Will cause a boot loop. So yes, you have to manually remove them. I'm not at present offering support for the process of installing it on an a2sd rom, since:

1. Each rom will be having different script

2. There are two different a2sd+ methods

3. Time consuming!

However if you wish to retain your a2sd based rom and still use data2sd, ask at Sibere's forum..We're there to help. :)

Just wipe again and reinstall any rom you want. Make sure the rom hasext4 support, or change it

Any partition manager can do that. See Gparted.

It is a signature verification error, isnt it? Toggle your signature verification. I've added instructions to the OP

It depends. If Leedroid NonA2sd version, you can install Data2sdinstaller alone..But after a full wipe
[Desire Android Development] dirtyfrog:
This may be a dumb question, but only just coming back to flashing, having been happy with Defrost for a while. Data2SD sounds great, giving loads of internal memory. But what's the point of having 600+mb of internal memory free, if putting the data on the sd card means all programs get installed there?

Not to piddle on your parade, just not too clear on why this is a good thing?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
There are components of the system which arent installed on sd and cause the system to drop memory when apps are installed with froyo/app2sd/a2sd+. You will know when you have a lot of apps installed. If you're comfortable with your existing setup and no space constraints, this isnt for you. Esp on AOSP roms where you have typically a lot of space.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Signature verification failed-Installation aborted error

For the installation of the zip to work, signature verification will need to be turned off. Here's how to do it:

Clockworkmod:

"Install zip from sdcard">"Toggle signature verification"

If it went well, CWM should say "Signature check disabled"

Now install the zip.
[Desire Android Development] najar360:
nice droidzone...will try after this.
[Desire Android Development] rraaka:
Congrats

DD, First of all congrats on the innovative idea and output !

Great thread and support !!

Im trying to figure out gparted right now.

Can we use amon ra 2.0.1 recovery to nandroid back up and restore this specific rom successfully ?

Of course once this gets going we would be needing a coupla compatible themes besides the circle battery ;)

Cheers.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Thanks..

You can. Amon Ra also verifies the signature of the zips correctly.

Any theme which works on Sense should be compatible with this rom..Simply b/c this is stock sense, only better :)

Am not much of a themer though.. :) Still, drop a post if you find something interesting, and I can add stuff..
[Desire Android Development] huzi7868:
i as running leedroid a2sd version but ill try to turn the signiture off see if dat works
[Desire Android Development] Memphis007:
Thanks, great rom, works as expected, very fast and stable !

Just a small thing, would be great to port snq reboot power menu 3 in 1 (and not 4 in 1 to avoid the "hot restart" problem)
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
Well I would say mine, but it has been neglected lately, and I haven't really kept up to date on sense kernels lately :)

I'm going to see what I can do with it tomorrow, get some of the zen kernel stuff in it. Shame we are stuck on .32 for Sense. Hopefully get the car dock fix from snq for the cyanogen battery driver port.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I'd be very interested in an updated version of your kernel for StarBurst! :) Please let me know when you do it!
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Ha! ok got you now :)

Just had a quick look at both files instead of the patch only, it's making things more clear to me ;)

I was a bit confused because this bit of code is not present in the sense kernel:

-#ifdef CONFIG_MSM_CPU_FREQ_SET_MIN_MAX
- policy->min = CONFIG_MSM_CPU_FREQ_MIN;
- policy->max = CONFIG_MSM_CPU_FREQ_MAX;
-#endif

It's basically pretty much a simple cut & paste to port to the richardtrip sense kernel

edit: Just did it, kernel built but I have to flash it to my phone ;)
[Desire Android Development] huzi7868:
Check that you downloaded the right file with the MD5 file:

i dont understand this can someone help
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
http://lifehacker.com/247262/how-to-use-md5-sums-to-verify-downloaded-files

The MD5 code should match with the actual MD5 of the file you download. Use WinMD5 in windows.
[Desire Android Development] huzi7868:
thank you for the link
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
Yep :)

10char
[Desire Android Development] Memphis007:
Coutts, in the last kernel i tested from you (9 jan)carmode was launching properly but the phone wasn't charging as expected : it was discharging even while the car charger connected
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
Yep quite possible, I'm going to look at this again tomorrow hopefully.

I want the cyanogen battery port back in, snq has a fix for the car dock with that, but haven't seen him about for ages!

I've learned a bit more since originally trying to fix it, so hopefully I might get somewhere this time :)

Missing MD5 codes in OP for 1.1.7

Hi Droidzone,

I downloaded the 1.1.7 Rom package but I could not compare the files to verify the were well downloaded with the MD5 codes as they are missing in the original post.

The Zip for the 1.1.7 Rom said it was corrupt when I tried to remove some Apps from the Data partition so I am not sure if it is a bad download or not.

I am going to try and download

Thanks, looking forward to try your Rom, looks very interesting
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
XDA ate my MD5s..Reuploaded them now..

Dont try Winrar to repack them..It has errors..Winzip and Pkzip are good. Or dont repack them at all, and use my Thirdparty app remover tool. It's safe.
[Desire Android Development] buzzboy:
Confirmed ok.

working well, with a 2gb EXT4.....titanium restoring without incident, and very smooth once again.....Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] SMCentral:
easy-share is so slow, 40 minutes and it is now 100/157MB. If you want a host with ftp access, then I can provide it bro. Very good speeds and of course, no charge - for free. :)
[Desire Android Development] iocar:
i frequently get force reboots randomly

like when listening to music or even play high graphic 3d games :confused:

what is going on?
[Desire Android Development] Moby58:
All fixed with v1.1.7

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] Memphis007:
Update 1.1.7 done on PVT1 device, no prob so far, the phone isn't rebooting when launching carmode. We'll see tomorow if it's charging in the car.

Just a suggestion, can you move google apps to the data directory ?
[Desire Android Development] huzi7868:
whats the size of 1.17 mine is 156mb this right
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Correct...

I just put up an alternate server..
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Just get people involved. I have often thought that it's an unfair burden that most ROM's seem to be driven by a single volunteer.

For example, I'm happy to help with documentation (Wiki), others may be happy to help with testing.

I generally suggest a combination of good documentation (FAQ's) maintained by other volunteers and a group of volunteer testers (to minimise questions about untested releases in forums) can dramatically reduce the dev workload.

Here here, I also appreciate your work. I have been searching a ROM that works well and is stable on my phone for a long time. I don't care about Quadrant scores or the like, I just want big internal memory and stability. I can't afford to waste time stuffing around and I have not had to waste any time with this ROM - it just works - great stuff indeed.

Here here

Here here

Stability is fine for us, I think everyone who is using this ROM are looking for improved internal memory and stability - leave the bleeding edge stuff to the other ROMs and those who are braver or more foolish than us.

I also support the idea of beta testing. I suggest collecting names of volunteer testers, and fall back to a relaxed release cycle. Once a ROM works, there really is very little need to update in a hurry, unless something is wrong. People could be happy to wait weeks or even months for an update if the ROM is working fine. This would also take a lot of pressure off you so you can enjoy this as a hobby more, rather than feel pressured, and have time to make sure things work well, with our support to help you.

So with the new ROM - can I just flash over this one without doing a wipe and factory reset?

Quick System Info tells me I have kernel 2.6.32.15-leedroid_2.3 (snq@drone)

I installed StarBurst1.1.4.zip / Data2SDInstallerv0.4 Edify.zip on a 1GB EXT4 partition Class 2 card.

I have had no issues, although I am concerned reading about over volting and over clocking as I do NOT want any of that, I want absolute stock standard CPU and voltage settings. If I want to play games I'll use my Playstation, my phone is for being a phone. I am also concerned about the increased risk of data loss that some have reported with using Data2SD - i.e. if the phone crashes you lose everything, more so than with App2sd+.

So do I need to update?

And once again, thank you for the hardwork Droidzone, and we are all happy to help you, just ask.

Considering that you have provided absolutely no information about your device or any technical details at all, there is absolutely no way that anyone can help you until you do.
[Desire Android Development] ptulluri:
data2script.sh

Doridzone

I looked at partition table and it now has

fat32 - /dev/mmcblk0p1

ext4 - /dev/mmcblk0p2

When i looked at the data2script.sh is says :-

/system/bin/mke2fs -T ext4 -b 4096 -E stride=64,stripe-width=64 -O ^has_journal,extents,^huge_file -m 0 -L userdata /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

mkdir /sd

/system/xbin/busybox mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sd

Should i make the chage to :-

/system/bin/mke2fs -T ext4 -b 4096 -E stride=64,stripe-width=64 -O ^has_journal,extents,^huge_file -m 0 -L userdata /dev/mmcblk0p2

mkdir /sd

/system/xbin/busybox mount -t ext4 /dev/mmcblk0p2 /sd

BTW i am not really good with Linux. Just asking since i tried installing and am getting boot loop all the time. So please be kind.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It'd be probably wise to update, since there's never saying when the OC might cause issues..and if it does cause a reboot, data loss may occur because an unsafe mount on Data2SD is bad.. Wipe shouldnt be needed. Take a Nand backup all the same, but the rom shouldnt erase your data. Follow up by the data2sd reinstaller(without a reboot) that I released with it. Should take care of things..

Yeah, a wiki would probably take care of things that newbies seem inclined to ask, and would probably lead to reduced support request..

Now that this version is fairly stable, it should be easy to maintain since I dont intend to add any cutting edge features.. Even if a kernel is tested, it would only be released as beta to volunteers. The base Rom should be stable for some time, and be released in sub versions with system app updates and maybe some locales.

Will update info on betalist later..
[Desire Android Development] Ninsassin:
Hi, I noticed you included zips to remove certain apps after installation. I was wondering is it safe to just remove the apps from the main rom prior to installation?

thanks
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Should be..
[Desire Android Development] Ninsassin:
okay cool thanks =D
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
OK I will just install the latest update using Recovery and Install from Zip, and then straight after that do the same for the app2sd installer Zip file, and then reboot my phone?

I will create a Wiki based on the template I used for AuraxTSense and Alex-V ROM's sometime this week, and include answers such as this one.

Eventually I would like to see you fall back to leading development and testing, and volunteers on this thread to answer questions so you can focus your time on development - which you would probably enjoy more!

Agreed that that stable version should remain in place as long as needed - I will stay on that one - unless something major comes out or OTA updates from HTC I don't see the need to update anything in a hurry, if it works well.

This is precisely the sort of question that can be avoided with a Wiki. I will include this as well when I start it over the next few days.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
You probably meant "Data"2SDinstaller.. :) And yes!....And RE-INSTALLER, Not the installer. If you run the installer again, it might wreck the existing setup!

It'd be a pleasant relief, and allow me to take off the disclaimer on the OP, warning about asking questions, and post something friendlier. :) Honestly, I would love to help people out..And I used to do that a lot in the Q & A forum, but they should read too..A wiki would probably save a lot of time for that..Thanks a lot for that!

[Desire Android Development] IndicaviA:
Ok, I have just asked because it worked on Froyo WWE 2.29.405.2. I will try. But thanks anyway.

Just one question, I for some reasons installed after full wipe version 1.1.2night .Everything was perfect. After that from this version without the wipe I flashed version 1.1.7 . Everything is working just great BUT , I cant see anywhere the apps just as AdFree, Explorer, Titanium etc. , in few words: applications added to ROM are not visible to me, or they are not there.
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
HAHA I'm back after playing 10 posts game :P

DroidZone, I think I found workaround to our Kernel problem.

I made my Desire S-OFF because I thought it doesn't accept any kind of overclocking because of that (meanwhile I made my own splash.img and some other custom visual changes so it was productive weekend for me).

As I read before, there are different versions of our phone. I have PVT3, and I thought it may be causing problem - different hardware as you state your and Seibre's phones take max overclocking avaiable for Desire.

After whole weekend of tests, I found out a few things:

1> My phone (probably all PVT3) just doesn't take overclocking over 1113Mhz. Left with 1113Mhz over whole night at "Performance" state and nothing happened. No freezes, no reboots etc. Phone was working just fine on 1.1.4 version. :D

2> Any visual changes in the rom (custom theme, icons etc) should be done BEFORE DATA2SD patch and followed by reboot every update to avoid bootloops.

3> If anyone is using IconPack from UOT Kitchen, don't forget to include window effect if you are going to use one. After DATA2SD patch, it's gone because I had it only at Theme, not included in IconPack.

I think people should not ask you to put or remove custom soft they don't like. Everyone has different preferences. I think software You unclouded is good "as is" and if someone don't like it, he can always remove it.

Additionally, you could add to main post zip managers people should use to repack File remover to avoid posts (I tried WinRAR and it says corrupted or got bootloop etc.).

Maybe it helps in development.

Regards!!

I just Love Ur ROM!!

Just upgraded to 1.1.7 and testing. Good benchmark results and no reboots on 1113Mhz so far. :D
[Desire Android Development] Memphis007:
Me too, as update we don't see included app, if you wipe everything and install it from scratch, here they are.

don't understand why ?
[Desire Android Development] Sebby:
i can only install this rom 1.1.7 with the new recovery 2.5.1.8 (stable one) and up:)

can't install this rom with old recovery 2.5.0.7:confused:

i can't remove apps with winrar or 7-zip if i remove then than i get a error (not implemented):confused:
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Thanks, I will install the re-installer, not the installer. When I get time later this week I'll get around to summarising this in a wiki for you.
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
...as DridZone wrote before, WinRAR and 7Zip get the file corrupted for Android.

Try Pkzip or WinZIP as he uses those.
[Desire Android Development] IndicaviA:
Pkzip is good, I have just test it. WinZip did not work for me.

BTW.: Even if I modify remover.sh script and then apply the zip through recovery, it did not remove anything. I dont know why ?????
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
Would be nice if Droidzone pin it to the first post. ;)
[Desire Android Development] cylent:
can you please use multiupload? both mirrors you have on your first post suck!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
If the unmodified remover.sh works and the modified one doesnt, it could be an error in the script

It is the case in any Rom..Winrar does corrupt files on repacking. Maybe a problem in the compression ratio/packing algorithm used. After all Winrar is good with rars not zips, and Pkzip and Winzip are experts in zip tech. Probably one for DroidBoris' upcoming wiki. I'm sure he is scanning these posts and will pick these up :)

I've added 5 links for the download links
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Must be a minor glitch in the order in which the Edify code is executed..I'll get to it later. In the meantime, if you could drop the files in /data/app of the main rom into the Market update (link in OP) zip in the corresponding folder, they will installed as addon after main rom is installed.. Going to be busy over the next couple of weeks and as DroidBoris said, since there is no major "bug" in the current version, I can take a short break from major code making. After all, I'm a doctor rather than a programmer, and I've got some PostGraduation entrance tests coming up...This, is a passion and hobby, rather than a job. :D
[Desire Android Development] rraaka:
This rom is shaping up really well because of your hard work, DD.

I dont have a good enough sd card for continued usage so couldnt keep up.

Facebook contacts not showing up in contacrts

HI,

just installed your Starburst ROM and after partitioning my SD card and then reading the "how to install" guide three times I got it all up and running first time!!!!

I now have a phone that shows 1gig of internal memory.

I have one tiny issue that I hope you can resolve for me.

My Facebook contacts are no longer showing up in contacts.

I have used the "remove apps" zip and re-installed the facebook app from the market place in case it was a symlink error but still not showing up in contacts. Everything else works like a dream, so a BIG thank you for the extra space on my brilliant phone!!!!
[Desire Android Development] victoryo:
Just installed your rom for 1st time!

Everything went very good with the installation instructions!

And also the rom is up and running now and no problems at all!

Thankyou! :D

[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I'm glad..I think we can officially declare this a stable version.. :)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
There's an option in "People" that you might have to activate
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I looked into it, and cant make out what the problem is..The scripts in the two versions arent significantly different..So atm, I have no clue..Probably it will come to me, when I work on the next version and will try to clear it up then.
[Desire Android Development] Alsajosora:
Unfortunatley the one for Facebook appears to be missing......As is the option within the Facebook app to merge contacts....Twitter seems to be fine though...:O)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Well that can happen, when integrated system files are removed..I never recommend to remove them anyway..But just wanted to add an option. Lee asks users to do it in adb, I just wanted the users of StarBurst to be happier and just flash a zip. You can always mod the remover.sh and leave facebook in place, after flashing a rom. Flashing a Rom as a reflash should fix it anyway
[Desire Android Development] chzro:
hey Droidzone, i hope v1.17 is compatible with Amon 2.01?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Hey,

Unfortunately apparently it isnt my script that Ra has a prob with, rather than the Edify code as such (Ra has not been compiled in months!), so unfortunately the problem should persist. The sad thing is that I cant do anything to correct it, since my script is correct and with no syntax errors. Ra interprets it wrongly. :)
[Desire Android Development] chzro:
so if i use unrevoked and flash it with clockwork, will the partitions i made in the SD card vanish?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
However if you replace the meta-inf of the rom released with the content of this zip, Ra shouldnt complain...

Edify is the newer code, and that is what I'm releasing, though many developers are still handling the old one..Amon Ra apparently has dyslexia while reading it. The code should work, though the output on screen which gives info might be problematic.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It shouldnt. It should be preserved. But see the file attached. The update worked, didnt it? Though Ra reported issues?
[Desire Android Development] chzro:
umm so if the partitions will be there, isn't it better to flash it to clockwork again because i'll be using your ROM for a long time and the newer versions won't be compatible with Amon RA :/
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I always recommend CWM anyway..I switch between them a lot, but I always liked CWM. I'm using CWM3.0 now, but please dont install that. It;'s an unstable version. Best one is CWM 2.5.0.7. If you have S-OFF, u can flash with:

"fastboot flash recovery recovery_name.img"

W/o S-OFF you can do it only by rerunning unrevoked.

Edit: Not only by unrevoked.

There's a fake flash method...but not worth it
[Desire Android Development] chzro:
okay i'll flash 2.5.0.7 then :)

umm one more thing, i made the partitions with Amon RA in recovery, that shouldn't be a problem i assume?
