I think it's because you have to flash the Data2SDInstaller.zip. Despite what Post #1 says, Data2SD seems not to be pre-installed in Starburst 1.4.0.1. I just flashed 1.4.0.1 now (currently restoring apps from Titanium as I type this) but like you, I found that Internal Memory was also at 56Mb only. I went back to Recovery, flashed the Data2SD zip, and presto, when I came back to Settings, it showed a 1.80 Gb free space (out of a total 1.95 Gb I allotted for EXT4)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Where are you guys getting the download link of 1.4.0.1¿

I've uploaded the newer fixed 1.4.1.1..if the link is not prominent on the site, get it from rom manager

@droidzone:

are you updating right now your file, because it is unable for me to download your files with both of the give links above.

i m getting right after clicking a unlimited loading page and my download dont start.

greets

-------- right now it works.... seems a reboot of my pc worked for me. thx anyway
[Desire Android Development] Psyco-Man:
Hi droidzone

i m having problems getting idata2sd working.

i downloaded today 1.4.1.1.

formatted my 32gb class 10 card with gparted 29GB fat32 primary, 1,8GB ext4 primary in this order (like i ve done all my other cards) -- no problems so far

next i copied the rom 1.4.1.1 to sd card with my card reader and then putting in my phone.

recovery, wiping everthing, run install from zip. choosen the rom and all did properly.

next reboot, after phone turned on skipped everything till i land on homescreec, waited about 10 seconds, power off choosing reboot (like in the minipage discribed) and then phone turned on, green led stayed until HTC quietly brilliant came... green led gone off and phone started in homescreen.

i tried 3 times but always the blue led (indicating data2sd) dont appears.

now i ve 29GB card memory but only 56MB internal storage, which means data2sd didnt worked.

its the first time i tried the idata2sd build rom.

Have i done anything wrong ? i followed your instruction as wrote on the minisite.

hope you can help me.

before i was running starburst 1.3.xx version (dont know at this time) with my 8GB card without problems and data2sd worked fine.

maybe this information is needed.

Workaround:

because the issue isnt a fault caused by me i found out that after installing the rom, just install after reboot the data2sdinstaller_X1 in recovery and after a reboot the blue Led appears and you ve a data2sd working !!

maybe there is a problem with the new idata2sd script integrated in the rom... i know droidzone will get this fixed !!

Hmm... It's likely that classic automatic data2sd works properly only on s-off for now. My own phone being s off, I missed this likelihood. I'll repair it next time if someone with s on would care to test

because i ve flashed my phone from scratch and i ve to do it on another phone too (the girlfriends one) i can test it for you on both s-on phones after you released a fixed version.

Thanks anyways for your fantastic rom... will send you now 10€ to support your work a little bit.. just for few coffee´s or what ever. i really love your roms and will not miss data2sd in the future.

edit:728041163S490673F transaction Nr... Donation XDA Forums 15$ sent ... cheers :)

@shakesbier:

just do a backup with "my backup" and copy the contend to your new card after partitioning it, flash the rom and with the new rom there is "my backup" installed too, so you only have to choose "restore" and you are ready :)

Thats the way i did it yesterday to switch from 8gb to 32gb card.

much easier is to make a nandroidbackup , copy the backup to the new card (after partitioning it) and then make a nandroid restore and all is like before with your new card

I have installed starburst just a few hours ago, and it works ok and all, but the Whatsapp application operates real slow, barely useable.

Any solution to this?

I have htc desire, installed the lastest classic edition installation (I think v. 1.4.1.1).

Edit: its not my microsd card, because I have a class 10 16gb A-data card. original.
[Desire Android Development] cordezz:
How can you be sure about that?

There are several people (including me) having problems with exact this microsd card.

Especially some class 10 cards (I tested two different brands) seem to cause trouble with data2sd. But App2sd works with these cards...
[Desire Android Development] hfg666:
are you suggesting that my microsd card is slowing the device? it sounds weird.
[Desire Android Development] cordezz:
I cant explain that. But I had lags with my class 6 card and lags/FCs with my class 10 cards. I am now back to app2sd :( and my desire runs faster again.
[Desire Android Development] hfg666:
mmm, how many applications can you install?

and what rom are you using now? leedroid?
[Desire Android Development] cordezz:
I have 34 apps installed and 66MB free internal memory.

I use the app2sd version of starburst.
[Desire Android Development] hfg666:
Do you have your facebook account synched to your desire? I have about 1400 friends and syncing facebook makes all the internal phone memory disappear
[Desire Android Development] cordezz:
Ok. I have "only" about 150 "friends"...
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
It's a pity that you can't get DATA2SD smoothly working. I have 120+ apps and still 380Mb free out of 900Mb :)
[Desire Android Development] cordezz:
Yes, I dont know what to do.

I could imagine that HTC build in different usb controllers with different dates of production. I have an about 10 month old AMOLD desire...

Or I have only bad luck with my microsd cards.
[Desire Android Development] hfg666:
whats your setup? rom, data2sd script and microsd card?
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Transcend C6 8GB, own script (after all I designed DATA2SD ;) ) but It's 99% close to what you get with starburst. phone is S-ON and recovery is CWM 2.5.0.7. Rom is this one. I don't have SB just because I'm not a flash maniac and don't want to spend time backing up everything, flashing and restoring, as my phone is fast and stable yet :)
[Desire Android Development] be4con:
If this is a stupid question and I am just missing something then apologies but I can't find where to d/l Starburst Classic 1.4.1.1 (i) on the mini site.

It's listed on the d/l links page but the download button doesn't work. The Beta page lists version 1.4.1.0

The change log refers to 1.4.1.1

I've searched the site and can't find it anywhere.

Could someone post a direct link to both the file and the MD5 hash?

Edit: apologies, I just searched back a bit more carefully through the last pages of this thread and found the links already. There here again for anyone in the same boat as me:

DZ, I'm having problem on 1.4.0.1. Standard and now on 1.4.1.1. Classic version.

I can't edit/create contact. I mean, I can, but when I click save, nothing happens.

It happens only if I change someones number like phone/mobile or so, but if I create new contact or just edit email field, no change :(

Any ideas?

PS - I've made some small contribution for Your hard and great work You're doing on this ROM! Hopefully I'll be able to send You more soon.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
First, thanks for your generous donation!

I wish I could pinpoint your problem. I tried to reproduce your issue, but couldn't. I'm on Classic too.

My suggestions..make a full titanium backup and my backup root backup. Then, proceed as follows:

De link your gmail account from your phone by going to accounts and disabling contact sync.

Then, goto Menu> Settings> Manage Applications> Contacts storage> clear data

Setup sync again. Now re try and see if the issue persists

[Desire Android Development] xsardax:
Yea, but the problem is that I don't sync my contacts with google contacts, just with Outlook via HTC Sync.

I've deleted all phone contacts now, and importing them back. I'll let You know afterwards if everything is working. This used to help before.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I'll have a look and update links

Edit : done

[Desire Android Development] xsardax:
Yea, this did resolved issue.

One more question, if You know.

I've installed 1.4.1.1. again, and via Titanium I've restored all apps and data.

Now, in my Mail app, there is no mail account, but when I try to add my default email, it says that allready exist?! :(

EDIT #1: Also, in my Settings/Account & Sync, there is Exchange Active Sync set up and syncing, but in Mail app, there is nothing ... Damn!

EDIT #2: Issue solved. I've just needed to wait for a few mins, or maybe 15 mins for everything to settle down =) All of my accounts are here.
[Desire Android Development] be4con:
Hoping you can help me, I've moved from Leedroid A2SD 2.4.1 to Starburst Classic 1.4.1.1 today. The installation of the ROM seems to have gone well after a full wipe. No problems.

However when I start replacing my apps and data using Titanium and My Backup backups I get repeated force close errors. The biggest culprit are google.process.gapps; android,process.acore and android.process.media but others have also occurred. Sometimes it goes into a constant force close loop and other times it seems apparently stable before force closing again when apps such as Gallery or the browser are started.

It also seems extremely laggy when it isn't force closing, every app seems to take an age to load up. Much more so than with Leedroid.

Is this because it's not possible to restore Titanium/My Backup created from a different ROM, or is there something else going on here?

If it's not possible to use the backup files what does everyone do to copy all their apps and data across when they change ROMs?

I'm using a Class 10 SD card, partitioned using Gparted - FAT32 followed by EXT4. It was a new card, I simply copied the contents of the FAT partition across from the old card - the EXT2 partition I did not copy across. I'm S-OFF with Alpharev CWM v2.5.1.8.

I've tried a full wipe and reinstall but the problem recurred when I started to add my backups back into the mix.

Thanks in advance
[Desire Android Development] xsardax:
Strange issue be4con, I've never had problems like that when switching ROMs.

Although, I've never used MyBackup, just Titanium, and never a slight problem.

On this ROM, I've never had FC issue =(

PS - DZ, is it only me, but 720p recording is pretty stuttering. Is there something in settings for video recording that I've should pay attention to? Thnx.
[Desire Android Development] be4con:
Decided to start again.

Order of events -

Boot into CWM - factory reset, wipe davlik, wipe battery stats

Install Starburst.zip

Reboot, stabilise, enter wifi key but nothing else.

Reboot, stabilise...

Start getting FC issues again, this time before even getting close to running Titanium.

This is unworkable for me at the moment so any suggestions gratefully received.

I'm going to fully wipe the SD card next leaving just the CWM, Titanium and rerware folders, and see if it's something on the SD card that I copied over that is causing this but I'm not sure why that would be the case.
[Desire Android Development] hfg666:
whats your microsd class 10 card?
[Desire Android Development] be4con:
As in brand?

It's unbranded but tested out with h2testw.exe and no errors and exceeding the class 10 specs significantly.

[Desire Android Development] xsardax:
Does anyone having 720p recording issues?? Stuttering, lag, etc? I have AData 8GB Class 6 card and everything is running smoothly except 720p video recording :(
[Desire Android Development] booce:
I used to have 720P lagging when I was on stock, but on the latest Starburst, it's smooth and useable. Class 4 Sandisk, x1 script.
[Desire Android Development] be4con:
OK, thanks that's interesting. I'll try a lower class card and see if it works better. My Quadrant scores are not very impressive considering the R/W capabilities of the card - 1800. I know they don't really translate to a significantly faster phone but when people are reporting scores above 2000 for Class 4 cards I must admit it seems suspicious.

Interestingly though I wiped the FAT32 last night of all data except the backups and then ran the flash again. So far no force close errors, but I haven't really had time to test it properly yet.

Hard to guess what might have been in my user files that would cause this problem though as surely all the system data is on the EXT4 partition?? Any thoughts before I start transferring files back bit by bit?
[Desire Android Development] cordezz:
What about the journaling function?

I see that gparted formats ext4 with

mkfs.ext4 -j -O extend -L

Can I deactivate the journaling to see, if that speeds up my system? Sure it is not as save, but for testing...

But I don't know the command for it :(
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Change:

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

To:

Sorry for the stupid question.

What is the difference between Data2SD and A2SD? Like, major difference? And is Data2SD better than A2SD on this ROM? Thnx & sorry =)
[Desire Android Development] cordezz:
Thanks, but it seems to make no difference for my desire.

Another thing I have noticed, regarding to this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1010807

The default value of /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb is "128" in starburst light. Thats a very low value.

When I change it to 2048 (with app "SD Speed Increase" it is set on every boot ), I can measure with "sd tools" a better datarate.

But does this value affects only the performance for the fat32 partition or does it speed up the ext4, too?

I cant recognize a real speedup of my desire.

BTW: sd tools measures about 10MB/s write and 16MB/s read speed. And my quadrant score is about 2400 when I run quadrant a few times one after another.

Are these value plausible?
[Desire Android Development] be4con:
Shortly after I posted this the FC errors started again despite the SD card wipe.

I've re-flashed using an 8Gb Class 4 Sandisk and so far it seems stable so it looks like it is a class 10 card issue as you mentioned. Thanks for the help with that.

Does anyone know the reliability of the class 6 Transcend cards?

I'm still having an issue trying to theme though. I used scar45's PCB theme with Leedroid and wanted to flash that but the phone hung at the Joker after reboot.

I then tried the Carbon Ara theme which booted OK but appeared incomplete - the lower dock bar was still the standard grey sense bar.

Finally, I've tried cooking a couple of themes in UOT (which I've used many times before), but each time the phone has failed to boot, the first time hanging on the boot screen and the second time going into a boot loop.

This is frustrating. I'd like to change the boot animation, get a circle battery mod and nicer icons but am struggling to get any themes to flash at all. Any thoughts.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Which version of the rom have you installed? I just cooked a theme from uot yesterday, complete with boot animation, so not sure what the issue is

I hope you haven't been wiping the dalvik-cache before theming..

Swyped with my Starburst based Desire. Please ignore any typos or grammos.
[Desire Android Development] be4con:
I installed the Classic 1.4.1.1 version.

scar45 advises wiping dalvik after flashing the PCB theme so I did that, I didn't wipe before theming, but I did before flashing Starburst.

I'm fairly sure I did the same thing with the UOT themes. Not advisable?

I'll try flashing my last cooked theme again without the wipe after theming and see if it works.

Thanks again.

Edit: OK partial success - no boot animation still but some of the features of the theme have come through. Can I just cook a 2nd theme with only a boot animation and flash that over the top or will that screw everything up?

Edit2: All sorted, just cooked up a boot animation theme, extracted bootanimation.zip from it and dropped it into system/customize/resources replacing the original file. Nice and easy.

Thanks again for your help. :)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Scar45 doesn't know you're on data2sd.. You can wipe dalvik cache from titanium while system is running.

Why doesn't anyone read my faqs? ;) I've cautioned against wiping dalvik cache

Swyped with my Starburst based Desire. Please ignore any typos or grammos.
[Desire Android Development] be4con:
I did read your how to theme FAQ, which is why I knew where to put the boot animation. There is no mention of not wiping dalvik on that page!

Thanks for all your help anyway, if I find this stable I'll donate.
[Desire Android Development] cordezz:
As I can say now it has no advantage for ext4. Still have lags and FCs with my new card (Transcend 16GB Class 6).

This was measured with the Transcend 16GB Class 6. But because of the FC and lags I will return it.

I made a nandroid of the Transcend 16GB and copied it on my very old Sandisk 4GB Class 4 (sd tools measures about 7,6MB/s write and 13,5MB/s read speed, quiet fast for Cl4).

And WTF: Data2sd runs fast and stable.

Unfortunately I need the space of the 16GB fat32. So perhaps some day I will find one, which is compatible with data2sd, but until then I have to stay with app2sd+ :(

Or can anyone recommend a 16GB card wich is compatible?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I wasn't accusing you of not reading.. :)

Well, the theming faq was written by klarnet, and I haven't had time to bring it up to date.

The faq I was referring to, however, comes under Resources > faq

But you're right..the theming faq should have it too.. I'll modify it.. Also, if one of you can warn scar45 about the 'eccentricities' of this rom, it'd be useful..

I have tried 2 sandisk cards class2 (4gb and 16gb) which got me fcs and deep sleep bug. The last month I have been using insertcoin and my problems are significantly less.

Starburst with data2sd is the fastest Rom, but data2sd is quite picky with the SD cards, no matter the class or capacity. It's all about quality of manufacture. Apps2sd is more compatible with faulty cards and I'd like to see a starburst using it.
[Desire Android Development] cordezz:
There is an app2sd version on

http://starburstrom.wordpress.com/starburst-rom-home/resources/download-links/

Direct DL: http://www.heylisten.org/ROM/android/droidzone/ROMs/StarBurst_A2SD_1.3.3.3.zip

The memory of microSD cards consists of nand flash and there are different techniques of manufacturing: Search for SLC / MLC / TLC NAND.

I could imagine that the desire cant cope with every type of card :(
[Desire Android Development] cordezz:
I know the poll, but it is very general. As I can read in this thread, there is no memory brand which runs 100% with data2sd.

So I would like to have an exact marking of a 16GB working card, e.g. Transcend TS16GUSDC4 Micro SDHC 16GB Class4.

The brand 3c pro is not available in germany.
[Desire Android Development] hurin8:
That would be interesting to find out which cards are suitable. But how can I know the technology of each one?
