Did you use h2testw to check your 16GB card for errors? Just format the hole card with one fat32 partition and run h2testw. If no errors occure, the card show be ok.

http://download.heise.de/software/3f2b91b0a4993474b4e6add7abf67ede/4d9bff9e/3582/h2testw_1.4.zip

I still think it some kind of incompatibility or some sdcards can not cope with the heavy load of data2sd.

My Adata 16GB class 10 card works fine with the app2sd version of starbust, but with data2sd I had the same errors like you. H2Testw did not report any problems...

I have two other cards with 8GB (Adata and Transcend), but I did not test them with data2sd. Peraps I have time next weekend...

To recommend a special cards is not so easy. Even if it has the same lable/size/class, you don't know which (OEM) manufacturer built the card.

BTW: Is it safe to use the restart menu with data2sd? I read something about not to use the restart menu but only the shutdown. Or is the restart menu of starburst modified for data2sd?

EDIT: Does anybody uses this Transcend 16GB Class 6 Card:

I've had issues with Kingston 16GB class 4 cards. Could not get a decent speed out of them and the phone spent alot of time busy. Tried two of them, both brand new, both the same problem. I switched to a Sandisk 16GB class 4 and haven't had a problem since. The Desire ROM and data2sd seem to be very touchy about the kind of cards they get, and as far as I can tell, it's not particularly related to the class of the card or the manufacturer. Others here report problems with Sandisk but for me they are the only brand that has worked consistently.

Sad to say, it looks like it's potluck when you buy a card for this purpose. All I can say is that Genuine Sandisk cards have all worked for me and I've used every starburst since 1.2.x.x.

The next card I buy will definately not be a Kingston and will in all likleyhood be a Sandisk.

hi guys can someone please try to help me with this? it seems it only happens when the phones data is on auto - 3g and gsm..

Drat! This rom was working so smoothly for me the first week, but it's gotten progressively slower and glitchier the second week. It's gotten to the point where I have to restart my phone just to get it responsive again. And now it seems my sdcard is mount only so I'll need to do a fresh install eventually.

I'm sure I had a prominent role in its breakdown, however. I've themed it with the one provided in one of the first posts and also from the kitchen. Still a great rom, but not bullet proof as I had hoped.

[Desire Android Development] cordezz:
It seems that some problems are referable to certain micorsd cards, if you look some posts above. Perhaps you habe another one for a second try...
[Desire Android Development] hurin8:
What brand is your sd card?
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
Well, it might be Card related issue. I blamed everything. Titanium, themes, kernels, data2sd script etc but eventually I found out it's card related issue. Fat32 partitions are working fine but ext partitons are getting data corrupted. It is working fine with my old Class 2 Samsung 4gb.

Before you blame this great rom, data2sd script or themes, please make sure it's not card related issue.

I can suggest running interactive logcat and post it to check for any errors.
[Desire Android Development] boojay:
Hey guys, thanks for the replies. Firstly, I'd like to make it clear that this is a great rom. Before I buggered it up, it was working exactly as advertised. I'm not blaming the rom.

The micro sdhc 16g card I'm using is a Lexar class 4.

Swyped from my iPhone killer/HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] booce:
All, has anyone else noticed that the problems related to SD cards are more common with the larger capacity cards? It seems to me in my limited experience that smaller lower class cards seem to have less trouble than larger, faster 16GB ones? I have to say that although my sandisk 16gb class 4 performs ok with starburst, the smaller 4gb sandisk class 4 I have does better. Same is true for my wife's phone. The 2 x 16 gb cl4 Kingston I had were both unuseable.

Just trying to isolate some pattern with the poor performance cards!

[Desire Android Development] boojay:
Interesting observation, booce.

Here's another interesting tidbit; while my card is mount only at the moment, other than the inability to edit/modify files, my phone is speedy again and all apps seem to work. I just can't save, view, or delete content on my card.

This script doesn't survives a reboot. See my post a few pages back.

[Desire Android Development] tebs:
The SD speed boost app does the same thing and survives reboot.

Ive tried a few things since my last post because of battery issues. I tried RCMix data2sSD which is a GB based Rom and it was awful on both my existing Sandisk 16GB C2 card and also TakeMS 16GB C6 card. Very slow to respond,laggy and crashed regularly and still had battery issues. I reinstalled the starburst rom and tried both cards and found the Sandisk to be faster and more stable. I am getting W/R speeds of 6.0/17.9Mb/s using SD tools. I did think of purchasing a 16Gb Sandisk C4 card but have heard that they are the same as the C2 cards because they meet the C4 spec anyway. Going back to the battery issue. I think it maybe a problem with my battery and its just a conicidence that it started occuring at the time of my first starburst install.

Anyway I have to say I am very pleased with how its running on my phone. Great work Droidzone. cant wait for the Gingerbread version!
[Desire Android Development] euri007:
Used script manager,

created script and set to run on boot.

[Desire Android Development] aca85:
Guys,whats your Quadrant score for CPU ??? Mine's kinda low around 850-900points o.0 ? (which is kinda low concidering that on other roms it was 1400+) ,im not saying it's lagging ,it's really fast and smooth...i know that Quadrant isn't perfect or 100% accurate,but still.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It should be on the beta page. If you're on w now, flash the we re installer, if you're on x, flash the xe re installer. No migration needed.

dz: I found a small copy/paste error on the mini site. Near the download link for the X series, you have a paste of cons "Cons: In some users, the apps limit may be reached very quickly. In them, after a critical number of apps, apps may fail to install."

I think this is only for the W series right? I'm thinking of migrating from W to X as I noticed some larger apps fill my nand and I had to un-install them

[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
DroidZone, I think you should include LogCat Interacrive script + Script Manager as default with your future releases. It helped me to realise my card is not compatible with data2sd scripts (data gets corrupted on ext partition straight after installation).

At this moment I'm trying to swap it for some other brand/model to fully use potential of StarBurst.
[Desire Android Development] hurin8:
Would you care to explain that, please? The log is quite extensive and I can not locate if something is corrupted.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It's not really logcat, but the logs of the ext file system checking utility. It's possible to include it in rom if the app dev of script manager has no objections, but I doubt if it's generally useful

if theres an error, you will see logs like klarnets

So your card is not compatible with data2sd script same as mine. Start looking for different card.
[Desire Android Development] hurin8:
Did you try the one which came with the phone?

I have the impression that if I don't do anything that can stress the card (quandrant, fix permissions, logcats), then it doesn't FCs.

Stock card (Samsung 4GB class2) works fine with full stress and heavy load (I had to temporarly revert to this card).

Before you do that, have you tried checking the card in gparted, and re partitioning it in gparted? I recall that you were one of the few who used recovery or rom manager for partitions. Repartition with gparted in mb align and re install

today I used wifi for the first time in months, and coincidentally, today I got a notification that my sd card was mounting in read only. When I tapped on the icon the notification went away and everything was normal. Then it happened again, and again. I thought ok something is wrong and went to take a nandroid backup. During the backup it froze when it got to the sd-ext partition right at the very beginning with a "#1579" message.

After reading about sd card corruption, and having my own sd card issues in the past, I was starting to panic a bit. I booted into StarBurst just fine and started backing up files from the fat32 partition.

I also thought I'd copy the getLogs interactive to see if anything was wrong, but when I tried to copy, i finally was notified of the actual underlying problem: I had filled my fat32 partition right up, lol.... sometimes the simple things should be checked first!!

Hi,

For those of you having SD card problems, did you partition the card using a card reader?

Did you try partitioning the card using the phone it self? By this i mean, mounting the sd card via usb and using gparted to partition the card.

Using MyBackup Pro with StarBurst for the first time

Hi All,

I have been searching this thread but failed to find an answer for the following (I still haven't installed this ROM):

Before I install this ROM I have backed up my apps using MyBackup Pro. Once I switch to this ROM, could I just use restore?

How will the apps "know" to be installed on the ext4 partition and not on the phone?

How do I choose where to install apps (memory or ext4 partition)? Is it even possible to choose?

If I don't have a choice, I assume that all apps and their data are stored on the ext4 partition. Will 512M be enough (as data can expand)? What is the recommended partition size for the apps+data

Thanks in advance for your help.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
If at the time if backing up the apps, there were in internal memory, after installing rom, the app would try to restore it to internal memory itself.only in this case, we've shifted the internal memory to a place we choose, namely the ext 4. The system still thinks it is installing in internal.so my backup doyle work.I prefer titanium though. I use my backup only for making up sms.

There is no recommended size for ext 4. It does have top be less than 2 gb.keep it high enough so you font don't run out of space in future.mine is 800 mb.

You don't need to choose.

Hey Droidzone,was wondering ,since im using your latest Stnadard rom 1.3.3.5 and the UOT Kitchen has the 1.3.2 version ,is the older version compatible with the newer version,i.e. can i make a theme using the old version and flash it on the new version ?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
All versions of standard and lite editions use the same frame work, which is what you saw on uot. It has remained the same since version 1 of starburst. Don't bother about version number. it's the same. The only different frame work is that of classic, which is labeled as such.

Install xe re installer from beta section and see if lag disappears. Also check in gparted whether the script has made ext4 correctly.

Windows utilities partitions usually have problems with android. If xe doesn't fix it, recreate partitions in gparted.

hi there,

i have my desire rooted and s-off with alpharev. have been running GV for a while and decides to go back to sense rom.

bravo pvt4 ship s-off

hboot-0.93.001

radio-5.11.05.27

CWM-Alpharev recovery v 2.5.1.8

downloaded the "Main Rom (1.4.0.1) – Classic Edition", perform a full wipe/cache/davlik cache and installed rom.

according to the install instructions:

"When you reboot, a green LED will come on, and Data2SD will be installed according to the size of the ext partition. Then, a blue LED will flash signalling successful loading of Data2SD."

i do not see any green LED when i reboot the 1st time after it settles.

i have a 16gb sd card, partition with gparted - 1GB for ext4 and the rest for FAT32.

how do i check if data2sd is installed and working?

thank you.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Classic is for experienced users. Did you make fat 32 as first one serially? You will also need to fill the form for asking for help. See my sig. I also advise you to use the standard edition. Classic needs the procedure to be followed as per book. Even the slightest deviation will disrupt it.
