As long as you dont manually format it yourself, No
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
I have 2.5.0.7 too and it's very stable IMHO

But formatting with recovery is not the best choice. Your partitions will not be aligned. As a consequence you will not get the best performance from your SD. The difference is quite noticeable.
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
I thought of updating Amon Ra or swapping to CW but I'll stay with RA-Desire 2.0.0 as it has no problems with any of StarBurst so far :D

By the way, 1.1.7 is still running perfectly. Very stable even with class 2 MicroSD.
[Desire Android Development] chzro:
GParted didn't work for me so i had to partition with recovery using Amon RA.

Now i'm trying to flash CWM but unrevoked is stuck at waiting for root :S :/
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Bugger...I hate having to use Unrevoked to do that anyway..I've had S-OFF and it takes only 2 secs to flash a new recovery wit that
[Desire Android Development] chzro:
could yu tell me how to switch to S-OFF? :$
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
[tagged for DroidBoris Wiki]

Get this file, burn it to cd, reboot with cd and follow instructions..

But you cant do it now..

ALPHAREV WILL NOT WORK ON A SYSTEM WITH DATA2SD

I didnt mean it to appear like a shout, but that's something which you all should know. If you want to S-Off, you have to temporarily switch to a Non-Data2SD configuration. Restoring Nandroid backup of a Rom without data2SD is easiest..Following S-OFF, you can restore the Data2SD Nandroid backup.

[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Errrrrr I don't see why it's not working... I haven't S-OFF my phone but is it done in recovery mode or with android running?
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
After doing that (what I did over last weekend) I would suggest changing splash.img if you don't like Jocker.

Here is guide how to put own splash image for the first boot:

[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It is done with Android running..Apparently Alpharev pushes files to /data. I believe I was first to report it even before Alpharev team themselves knew it..

But now their site says:

Requirements:
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Ok I got it now.
[Desire Android Development] Memphis007:
And if we have a PVT4 desire with an erase size of 40000, would you recommend the 2.5.1.8 of alpharev as recovery ? Cause we can't use 2.5.0.7
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Yup..That's a good version.

There's a small bug on that which makes the screen go blank after installing some zips. But mostly its random and harmless. This is what I was using before I switched to the 3.0R3 to test it out.
[Desire Android Development] IndicaviA:
Thats ok. Thank you. Everything is just running great. I was only curious about it. First I thought that when apps didnt instal so everything else in the system will be also untouched but everything else in ROM is updated as in changelog of 1.1.7.

I dont need this apps desperately cause I can install them separately.

But mystery with script which cant uninstall system apps (facebook etc.) is also weird to me. I open thirdpartyremover.zip with pkzip, open script on "script" folder with notes, delete lines which I want to leave in ROM, update file in zip, reboot to recovery, flash the zip, everything seems to be ok, but after restart everything is still there :)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Just to clarify, the script deletes all apps which appear in the list on the script. If you delete the line from the script, that means you dont want to delete it, and want to leave it installed.. Hope there wasnt a misunderstanding.
[Desire Android Development] termenk11:
hi droidzone..do you still need more alternate link for the StarBurst 1.1.7? i can upload it to rapidshare if you want?

keep up the good work man! your rom just keep on getting better and better!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Nopes..I just added two more..So there are a total of 4 links for each file..Should be sufficient. Besides, see the updated FAQ on why I want it to stay that way.. ;);)
[Desire Android Development] IndicaviA:
Yep, I wrote "I deleted lines which I want to stay in ROM", thats ok, but it is simply not workinag at all for me. EVERYTHING stay there :)
[Desire Android Development] termenk11:
:D didn't notice that one..thanks!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I thought you might have meant "files" which you wanted to leave in rom..Then the manual method of removing them before flashing is only left
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Roger, I'll get around to putting this in the Wiki too. Looks like I'll be pretty busy until the weekend though, but should be fine.

I started getting an issue with acore crashing repeatedly, drove me nuts, so I factory reset and set everything up with the new ROM and seems fine, and slowly restoring apps with Nandroid backups along the way.

Anyone else ever had this problem? Some errors about a Google framework crashing, then acore continually crashing.

Seems stable now though.

As for S-OFF I'm still not sure why we need it?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I've noted that when Titanium is asked to restore HTC system apps from a previous version-then Ti does that and craps up the system, leading to acore FCs. A Fix Permissions from Rom Manager sometimes is all that is enough. Sometimes a reinstall is needed.

No, I didnt mean that you have to make a wiki soon. Or that you have to do it at all. If you do wish to make it, I was making sure to tag posts which I felt were worth adding, since a ROM thread can become very long, and the thread search tool can input the tag 'wiki' and you username, to find out these tagged posts :)

S-OFF isnt essential unless one has a habit of changing system files on the go. It allows to remove, modify system files on the go. The system partition is normally not mountable as Write, except in recovery mode. (this is called a partial root). In contrast S-off gives you a full root, which means ability to make system writable even while booted up, without need for adb even. Also it's a big help in changing radios, recoveries, hboot etc. Also needed for MTD paritions.
[Desire Android Development] IndicaviA:
I noticed another thing. When you long press power button to menu come out and you choose "reboot" and then "bootmenu", nothing happens, phone doesnt reboot. "Normal" and "Recovery" are working properly.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I can confirm that..However that must have been carried over when I hacked/recompiled snq's 4-in-one menu to remove the Hot restart option. It took a couple of days to do that, so probably will not be able to do anything about that right now..Since the only way to fix it is to recompile the original snq menu, find and fix everything..That's a lot of work.. :)
[Desire Android Development] IndicaviA:
Thats ok Droidzone :) , I only inform about that. I am very satisfied with your ROM indeed. Focus on your school exams at first place.
[Desire Android Development] botellito:
when i run quadrant, the i/o benchmark is EXTREM slow. is that normal? I only have 1495 in quadrant with cpu overclocked to 1036880
[Desire Android Development] Tsuneku:
Have you run the Data2sdInstaller.zip, right?
[Desire Android Development] botellito:
yes. ive got 820 mb memory free.

and another issue is that when i start apps (like market or gmail) takes much time to load than wihout the data2sd script....

any idea?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Could be a slow sdcard..

Class4 is the recommended min, Class 6 is optimum.
[Desire Android Development] shaques:
cant install...

Hi,

I've been trying to install your ROM, but I can't.

I can install the ROM itself, reboot, everything is fine.

but when I install the Data2SD, when i reboot, nothing... it just stays there in the white HTC screen...

I've formatted the card using g-parted. I have a 3200MB FAT32 partition and a 580MB EXT4 partition.

Hi droidzone,

firstly thanks for the great work, i have been waiting for something like this.

Only flashed today so i am still running my own little tests...

One thing that I have noticed or having problems with is the battery :-(

Could you recommend any tweaks or things things I should flash?

Thanks again for your great work (that goes to everyone in the forum too)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Never been a fan of such battery tweaking mods..

But what I usually do is setup a SetCPu profile to automatically lower the core cpu freq when the screen is off..
[Desire Android Development] jamesbrampton:
Thanks dude.
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
Weird, I'm running StarBurst since 1.1.1 on crappy Class 2 card and it's working fine and smoothly. I don't expect fireworks (sometimes it takes its time to load everything after unlocking or lload all installe apps or load folder list on SDcard), as I know card slows I/O and I'm getting overall 1300-1600 depends on CPU load/speed.

CPU itself goes up to over 4000 on Performance mode o/c'ed @ 1113Mhz.

Gawd, I need to buy class 10 MicroSD.

[Desire Android Development] twallden:
Hi there, so im all set up and almost ready to install this. i just have one tiny question.

I'm coming from Oxygen-2.0 HBOOT and i'm not sure what HBOOT is the default one, or the one i should use with this good looking piece of ROM.

I've narrowed it down to these two:

Bravo Stock 1.8 - bravo_alphaspl.img

or

Bravo Sense - bravo_alphaspl-sense.img

So my question is, what HBOOT do i need to revert back to?

My money is on the first one but you can never be to sure.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:

[Desire Android Development] anderl78:
Hi!

Installed latest StarBurst, runs very good!

I was looong time on leedroid, but the space was to low now. Tried different roms, even DHD-ports, roms with data2whatever and so on... in quick words, looked for another rom - StarBurst seems to fit for me.

This Rom is fast and stable, and space for apps is enough too ;-) data2sd seems well integrated, congrats for this!

As always i read the whole thread before flashing, i think i can say, this is a well supported rom.

Used gparted, CWM 2.5.0.7, ext4 with 1 GB and a S-off device.

droidzone, thank you for this rom and your large engagement!
[Desire Android Development] anderl78:
Hi, 2 questions about the kernel....

You use the leedroid 2.2f kernel. I could not apply lower vdd-levels. I maked my one 98vddlevels-file, copied the file to /system/etc/init.d/ but if i check the used vdd-levels with 'cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels', there are the original entries... What could i do?

second question:

Could we have the 2.3 kernel as separate .zip-file? I dont use the cardock and want to have the battfix witch is in newer leedroid-kernels... With the 2.2f kernel i unplugged my desire from charger and fall very fast back to ~ 80% battery ;-(
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I'm not sure about the option of lower vdd levels. It's possible that it doesnt work on the 2.2f kernel. Yes, while I find the need to provide a hugely compatible kernel to most users, the option of providing the overclockable and "cardock-incompatible" (apparently it's only HTC chargers that have a problem) newer kernel as an addon can be considered. I can put the new kernel as an downloadable addon..I'll upload the kernel as soon as I extract it..
[Desire Android Development] anderl78:
Thanks for your answer!

I think, the lower vdd-levels can help to safe a bit of juice. If we get the 2.3 kernel, i think this should work!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
There's a minor problem. Only the developer of the kernel can know which modules are specific for the kernel. I've asked Lee this info, but unless he answers, I cant do anything. I'd need this to extract the kernel from the baserom and make a flashable zip of it
[Desire Android Development] anderl78:
Hmm... That could be a problem... a few user asked already about providing a flashable kernel in the leedroid-thread without success...
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
How to S-OFF when you have StarBurst (or any Data2SD installed)

Do this:

Do a complete Nandroid backup from Recovery (This will backup your StarBurst Data2SD configuration)

Wipe everything.

Install StarBurst Main Rom

do not flash the Data2SD installer.

Boot into Android

Boot PC with Alpharev ISO

Alpharev should work perfectly now.

Once you have S-OFF, go back to recovery and Nandroid restore the things you backed up

Done!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Never mind, I've uploaded it now..

Leedroid Kernel 2.6.32.15-leedroid2.3 @snq- is only for those who have no problems with car charging..

Links in OP..
[Desire Android Development] siriobasic:
What is the advantage?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
See OP for features of each.
[Desire Android Development] ccdarkness:
VERY VERY STABLE ROM!

data2SD working beautiful!!

good job !!!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Glad to hear that.. :)

Thank Sibere too, Data2SD is his creation...I just integrated it
[Desire Android Development] ccdarkness:
Thanks Sibere than for data2sd ...

i had ext3 partition on my sdcard with other roms i used and i did not changed it to ext4 but it still working great (even better than with other roms)..
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Huh? You're running Starburst on ext3??
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
ext3, well why not. It's not the most efficient FS but it has been reported being faster on some SD cards.

You can use ext2/3/4 but the ext4 mount options won't work :)

Did you change the 01data to mount it as ext3? (mount -t ext3) instead of ext4 ?
[Desire Android Development] ccdarkness:
i thought so ... just looked and its ext2fs..but its working great..

will it work faster on ext3-ext4??
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
I prefer EXT4 but you can use any ext file system. It will mainly affect performances. ext2 is fast but doesn't have journal (but I don't use journal anyway ;) ) EXT3/4 have a lot more options and extensions plus journaling if you want to enable it.
[Desire Android Development] IndicaviA:
Can you please explain how to enable it and how it exactly works? Thanks
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
If you want to get technical details about journaling, I strongly encourage you to read all the documentation on the web about this. It'll had some safety to your data at the cost of a lower performance and higher SDcard wear.

To enable journal safely, reboot into recovery mode then adb shell.

type

/system/bin/tune2fs -O has_journal /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

/system/bin/e2fsck -vf /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

reboot
[Desire Android Development] jamesbrampton:
I used to be a flashaholic...

You have cured me with this excellent ROM!

Thanks to everyone involved and keep up the great work.
[Desire Android Development] siriobasic:
Really is a very good rom, but I have the impression that uses a large battery. SetCPU is set in "conservative"
[Desire Android Development] bungle2k3:
WOW!!! almost 2gigs of internal storage - :D

Im a happy flasher ! (oops... that sounded bad didnt it )

ps what is the bog standard internal memory anyway, in the excitement ive forgotten lol
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
A teaser

This Quadrant was measured with Sibere's upcoming beta Data2SD code..Sibere wanted me to warn you that the Quadrant scores might be different from real world performance..But right now, I'm seeing my applications just flying through the menu and even on installations. Data2SD is expected to lag during installations. Sibere's current code decreases that very much to a non-perceptible difference, and that is what you've got right now on StarBurst..

But this one..beats even the current code by a huge margin..at least I think so! :)
[Desire Android Development] termenk11:
been very busy lately, just flashed 1.1.7 over 1.1.4 with no wipe. and its running so smooth, no lags at all, no FC's. an epic work droidzone! thanks alot..
[Desire Android Development] marse.online:
StarBurst is only WWE and not Multilanguage ?
[Desire Android Development] jamesbrampton:
Anyone got any ideas for reducing the battery consumption? Using setcpu but still no real improvements.

If this could get sorted,I would be a very happy desire owner.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It is based on WWE...It has a huge list of languages..No Arabic though..No Japanese either.

Maybe try the vdu patch from Leedroid's minisite and the 1.1.4 kernel that I've added to the OP? Car mode wouldnt work with it though..

Honestly I chose this kernel for its stability with a vast number of phones. If battery is an issue, try one of the undervolted kernels of Richardtrip or Coutts, or try Sibere's battfix to get a fully charged battery.. I wont be adding these to the actual rom though, because some people have had issues..You can install a custom kernel on top of StarBurst..

Glad! :)
[Desire Android Development] budvajs:
archive with rom is broken? winrar pop up me it,when i want edit archive (removes some apks witch doesnt for me).

Dont use winrar to edit the update.zips. I've already mentioned that previously.
[Desire Android Development] anderl78:
Hi droidzone!

Thanks for adding the 2.3 kernel. unfortunately i have a problem with it. With this kernel wlan cant be enabled. In setting is only displayed 'error'... Could it, that there is something missing?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Yup...That's exactly why I needed Lee's input on the module used by his Rom..I suspected that this might happen!

Wifi doesnt work because a module is missing. I had to 'make' that kernel patch from Lee's rom and obviously there's a module missing. There's nothing much I can do to help with that kernel..You could try asking Lee for the kernel as addon.. Yes, I know you already asked.. :)

Or try another kernel? Say Richardtrip?

Edit: I'm pulling that kernel from the OP..
[Desire Android Development] anderl78:
Lower vdd-levels

Hi!

With the leedroid kernels (2.2 and 2.3) you could apply lower voltages to your cpu. If someone is interested, here are the stock-levels, and the lower levels - flashable with recovery.

I use even lower settings then the setting in the lower.zip without problems. The possible settings are different from phone to phone, so testing your own settings is necessary.

If you want your own vdd-levels open the zip with a zip-program, open the 98vddlevels-file in /system/etc/init.d with a text-editor and do your changes (carefully!). Note that changes have to do on the fly into the zip. Dont extract and recompress the zip!

Note that too low settings can cause phone-reboots which can cause similar problems. Be carefully with testing. If you got problems, flash the stock-vdd-levels.

You could check, if your settings are working with 'cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels' in android terminal emulator (market)

Download (thanks to Leedroid!):

[Desire Android Development] schalmers:
Sorry to ask a question on something that was discussed a few days ago but I am a little confused. I use RA v2.0.1 recovery and from what I could tell it worked ok to flash your 1.1.7 ROM so what is it that you say is not working because of the Edify code? I am worried that maybe it is not fully working or something could go wrong? I have never used Clockwork and I am a bit worried reading about the USB bricks, so far I have not had any issues with RA. Is it only the script to remove apps that is not working with RA but the flash and DatatoSD script is ok? Thank you for clarifying this.
[Desire Android Development] anderl78:
Yup, i think its better to remove this kernel...

What kernel would you recommend? i would like to have the battfix and the possibility to apply my own cpu-voltages. Cause with 875 mV my phone gets unstable - tested a few kernels in past... i use a minimum of 900 mV in my settings... ;-)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Ra should still work...Apparently it shows some mistakes while executing the script..Nothing to worry about..It ought to work, while maybe displaying a few nonsensical characters on screen
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I'm not the guy who should be giving advice regarding kernels ;)

I stick with my default kernel usually and havent used many..
[Desire Android Development] termenk11:
no issues at all with RA, im on 2.0.1..:D:D:D

i'm really enjoying my unlimited space! wooooot!

thanks droidzone!
[Desire Android Development] jamesbrampton:
Thank F%$k I done a backup...

Just flashed the kernel, just found the missing WiFi :-( back to the standard...

So whats best to flash now for the battery?
[Desire Android Development] IndicaviA:
Many thanks for info.

But back to the ROM again. I have experienced strange things. Yesterday I bought another battery for my Desire. And now my experience. When I shutdown the device, take out the battery and stuck in another one, device will not boot up properly, it is stuck in the endless bootloops. Nothing helps, only restoring previous functional backup from nandroid.

Does it mean I cannot switch batteries without doing previous backup??
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Now that's very weird! I switch between batteries all the time..I have the stock one and a 2400mah Cameron Sino...Really no idea what's happening..But strongly feel that its not the rom, and something to do with the battery..
[Desire Android Development] anderl78:
I think i will stay with the 2.2 kernel with lower vdd-level at the moment. Usually have really low battery-consumtion with this... ~ 2 - 3 mA in flight-mode and 5 - 7 mA with mobile network (both screen off).

Battfix would be nice, but dont actually know, which available kernel is the best... I think i have to read a few kernel-threads... ;-)

Droidzone: thanks for your efforts in this!
[Desire Android Development] IndicaviA:
Hmm. Ok. Strange is that after nandroid restore everything works ok with battery I switched to. Will see, if this will happen again. But now I will do nandroid immediately before changing. Thanks god I got snapshot from the morning...
[Desire Android Development] jamesbrampton:
Er, how do you do that? where should I be looking for info?
[Desire Android Development] PhysX:
the new version works fine for me so far... but sometimes i got some real bad ass lags, im using a 8gb class 6 card with 1gb ext4... so as far as i can tell, that could not be the problem... but what else?

thx in advance
[Desire Android Development] anderl78:
Hi! Look a page back! i posted there informations about vdd and links to the lower- and stock-level-files
