Hmm..If you're having persistent issues, I guess Data2sd is not for you..I'd recommend Neo/Leedroid Roms as ROMs similiar to StarBurst. Both are a2sd versions.
[Desire Android Development] peterkling:
that was also in my mind... :(

update: I restored boot, system, data and cache from nandroid - still boot loops

(a complete restore with sd-ext works, but I tried to avoid it of course)
[Desire Android Development] craig1965:
@droidzone thanks for all your help and advice earlier I've now got everything back I had to remake a gold card to flash ruu ill stay away from different roms in the future ill wait for sense gingerbread
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
No problem. Some people flash roms hundreds of times and have no probs. :)

I've flashed every Rom for the Desire out there to see if Data2sd can be made flashable for them..Never had this kind of issue before..Still if one has a gold card and an RUU, there is almost nothing that cant be recovered from.. :)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Selective restore is never adviced. In a Data2sd setup, we move /data to /sd-ext. So in case /data is corrupt and a proper copy isnt restored, it will never solve the bootloop, since ext4 or /data corruption is the cause of the loop! It's actually /boot and /system that you dont have to restore usually.

Hope you have better luck with a2sd..

[Desire Android Development] huzi7868:
hi at the moment am running 1.3.0 do you think i should upgrade or not and why thanks for the advice and ehats the difference;)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It's a matter of personal preference. Look at the changelog and decide.
[Desire Android Development] fisha21:
FWIW, there is another (semi)-solution:

I'm using Launcherpro not Sense, so I uninstalled the Rosie.apk, some unwanted system .apks and all the Sense widgets using Root explorer. The Sense mail/contacts/dialer app all work fine, and it gave me a lot more room for more apps (don't forget to use Titanium to clean up the Dalvik cache).
[Desire Android Development] huzi7868:
another funny off the topic questions am due to an upgarde droidzone if u were to get a phone after the htc desire which 1 would u pick coz i love this rom and want it again on a new phone which hopefully u will provide:D
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Another option if you have space in /system is to move all system app dex files from dalvik cache to the /system/app dir and save another few Mb of space :)

[Desire Android Development] fisha21:
Dude, you asked this 2 days ago .... and got an answer already!!
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
FYI latest data2sd stable has a journal, which is a lot safer and robust against data corruption, even if you decide to pull the battery out. But even on my non journaled version, after a bettry pull, I never had such an issue.

Sent from my HTC Desire with DATA2SD :)
[Desire Android Development] fisha21:
Nice, just gained 20Mb extra in dalvik-cache! Thanks for the tip. One question though - I now have about 1.9Mb space in /system. Is that likely to cause problems in future with eg Market/Gmail/Maps updates etc?

Edit: also, if I were to remove anything else from /system/app, I would also have to manually remove the associated dex file - using Titanium to clean Dalvik-cache wouldn't remove those will it?
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
no problems with a full /system when android is running because it is used and mounted read only. All the app updates goes to /data.

If you have Gmaps in /system and update it (5.2.0 got just released), You'll get still the old one in /system/app and the new one in /data with the new dex in dalvik cache.

You may move them back to system and delete the old ones to get some extra space :)

But I'd say if you are short of space on NAND with dalvik-cache, you may consider rolling back to the stable DATA2SD version with DK on SD.
[Desire Android Development] fisha21:
I did consider moving to the stable version, but the fact that system settings don't survive a reboot would really bother me. The only issue I had was running out of dalvik-cache space, but now that I have strategies to get around that, I am super happy with the beta version. Also, I'm unlikely to install as many new apps as I already have - my main issue was fitting in the apps i already have - so the extra space I just gained should be plenty.

Thanks for your help. This ROM + data2sd beta version + your kernel = perfect phone! Good job I've got my Archos to mess around with now, else I'd be getting bored now ;)
[Desire Android Development] le poulpe:
Hi,

your rom is now with OTA updates :-)

but how does it works?

Thx
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Thanks :)

I'm gonna join you soon with a 70it

Sent from my HTC Desire with DATA2SD :)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
You have to configure Rom manager to do it. But I think only the premium version of Rom manager does that. Not worth the money, imho. You can always click Download rom and see if I've released a new version.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
1.9Mb of space in /system seems too little. Maybe you'd like to consider moving to the standard edition, or remove some useless apps like Teeter. Upgrades like Adobe flash do tend to take a lot of space in /system
[Desire Android Development] pranavd1980:
Hey it's not even booting up in recovery.......Bootloop and thereafter freezed on HTC boot screen.....

Have i bricked?????

What to do....Can someone put a light on it please........

Need urgent help please...........
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
You cannot install the Rom without a working recovery. Please post your issue in Q & A/search Q & A section for a solution. We can only help with issues specific to StarBurst ROM.

It is impossible to corrupt a recovery with a ROM.
[Desire Android Development] pranavd1980:
Hey i think you missed the conversation we had last night on page 170...

i stucked up at boot screen after installing data2sd script and thereafter its not booting up at all......

Just need to ask you...what to do to get my desire in working condition.....Have i bricked it?????
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Well if you cannot boot up to recovery (power off and power on by Vol- and power button on pressed together), the issue is grave and we cannot solve this on the rom thread.

A bootloop alone will never interfere with ability to boot to recovery.

If you can get to recovery, follow the instructions here to install the rom. http://starburstrom.wordpress.com/category/installation/
[Desire Android Development] peterme58:
Excellent work again with your latest lite rom! One question only when I am trying to flash the font changer full update for change through the font changer app the system fonts nothing happens! If I flash it to tepic rom everything is ok, if I upgrade tepic rom with starburst without a wipe and reinstall the data2sd script everything is ok! Can you help me with that, because the only way to have the fonts I like with your wonderful rom is only to flash tepics first with the old data 2 sd and then upgrade as I mentioned....
[Desire Android Development] le poulpe:
ok, thank for the reply :)
[Desire Android Development] mrjonnyrock:
hi,

why is one version 1.3.3.1 and the other 1.3.3.3?

are both using the same kernel etc?
[Desire Android Development] IndicaviA:
Because you are too lazy to read description.

1.3.3.1 - standard version

1.3.3.3 - lite version (clean ROM without custom apps)
[Desire Android Development] mrjonnyrock:
no actually i am not, and did. It is not clear, having one version with different version numbers for essentially the same thing. All i wanted was clarification.

Thx for that, now you can go and climb back under your rock.

Low (read ****TY) Performance on C4 Kingstone 16GB cards

Hello all,

I had tried this ROM myself with a fresh acquisition of micSDHC - C4 16GB Kingstone card. The issue that I've observed was the incredible annoying LAG !! followed by random Force Close and system wide hang-ups.

After I've performed a "manual" grep on this post, I have found at least two other users with a similar set of headaches and (coincidentally) the same type of micSDHC.

So I've started a quest to scratch my itch and spent additionally 30 EUR of my hard earned money and got myself a nice C6 Transcend 8GB.

Needless to say that I experienced the kind of relief that you get when you wake up out of a nightmare in which you dream that you've **** your paints in public when I boot the ROM on this new (I guess normal) card.

Thumbs Up Sibere and Droidzone !!! (I'm actually full of thumbs).

Whooo !!!! Kingstone. What in the world have you done with this card ?

My best guess is that Kingstone use perhaps an exotic block size for their micSDHC...

May the force be with you!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I have to agree with Indicavia here..The changelog does tell you what's the difference between 1.3.0 Lite and 1.3.3.1 Lite. The missing version numbers in between are beta test builds. And the difference between Standard and Lite is mentioned on the download page.
[Desire Android Development] mrjonnyrock:
I am not sure what you saying here. are you complaining about something?

I have the same SD-card, with a 1gig ex3 partition, and it works great with is ROM.

If you have lag check you setcpu governors. That could also be an a cause.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
:D No his opening statement and title does sound like a complaint, but I believe he's complaining about his Kingston card, and finally praising the Rom.. :):)
[Desire Android Development] mrjonnyrock:
dude i don't want to get into a thing about this. I did read through the stuff, all i wanted was clarification, just to be 100% certain. Right now i have 2 phones that i am testing with many different ROMS and kernals and this takes a lot of time. Just wanted to be sure before heading down a long path and then found that i had jsut wasted half a day or something.

I am not new to this stuff, moding or computers/computing stuff in general.

I really love the fact that there are ppl that are doing such brilliant work creating these ROMs. What it does for a devices is amazing.

I really like this ROM btw. Its fast, the battery life is great and you update it very quickly. its brilliant.

thx for this.

I have been testing it for a day and a bit now the only issue i have is the GPS. I can not get a lock with it. Tried a number of things and i can not get it working. GPS worked fine with the stock ROM and the Desire HD i am test, along with the desire, get a lock and works fine. The HD has the Revolution HD ROM. Any idea why i am having an issue with the GPS?
[Desire Android Development] mrjonnyrock:
LoL i have just done a similar thing :D:D
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
It simply illustrates the fact that lots of issues are hardware related more than software.

I'd say sandisk, transcend and Adata are good choices.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
No problem.. :)

Well, I'm not facing any issues with Gps, and it works fine in my car..

But if you're having GPS issues, take a look at this tutorial on the Miui thread.. http://www.miui-au.com/howtos/faster-gps-fix/

StarBurst A2SD

For that tiny minority of users who cannot get StarBurst with Data2SD working even after the detailed tutorials, I've released an A2SD version.

[Desire Android Development] mrjonnyrock:
thx for that. it don't work at all though. the desire just will not get a lock. Do the same thing on the HD, it improved GPS lock lol. :D

I will have to reflash the desire coz it must be a software issue. :(

even using an app called 'fasterfix', which resets your region, is not helping.
[Desire Android Development] SeanyC:
Agreed. I was using an 8Gb Sandisk Class4 without any problems. I needed more room for music so tried a Sandisk Class2 16Gb I had lying around and to be honest, to the naked eye, I can't tell the difference. No lag even though it is only a Class2.
[Desire Android Development] xsardax:
Hi,

my first post here, so I appologize upfront for stupid question.

I have this ROM and it's fantastic, but I have one annoying problem.

I have 1040 contacts on the phone, but every two/three days either they completely disapeear, or they can't be changed/edited/deleted.

The only solution for fix is that I go to Apps and CLEAR DATA on Contact Storage app. After that, I need to resync with HTC Sync on my PC and everything is OK.

I've installed this ROM about 3 weeks ago, and those problem started to show like 10 days ago ...

Any ideas or suggestions? Really appriciate upfront.

Regards.

Market wont install apps.

I just installed StarBurst (1.3.3.1) and Data2SDInstallerv1.2_tiny on my HTC Desire.

I used a brand new SD card (32 GB). I used two 16 GB partitions. I used 'fdisk' to partition the SD.

I seem to be an S-ON (no picture of joker at bootup)

Pretty much everything seems to work. The settings report 15.39 GB of Available Internal Phone storage.

However when I try to install an app from the Market, it complains:

"Sorry, there's not enough space to install this item".

What did/am I doing wrong?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Two things:

Use Gparted for partitioning

Never go over 2 Gb ext4 for second partition

If you deviate from instructions, expect huge problems. Your post about S-On indicates that you're a newbie. All the more reason to follow the minisite full install instructions to the last letter.
[Desire Android Development] Moe5508:
My only advice would be to improve the hosting functionality by adding some download links that support RESUME downloads. Easyshare, Hotfile and FileFactory are all really nasty sites, slow and no-resume download functionality. It could be just the country I live in but I don't think so. Mediafire, Dropbox are some free great sites that support some advanced download functionalities.
[Desire Android Development] Iceberger:
Kernel download link

Hallo Droidzone,

Do you have a download link for only the kernel you use in the StarBurst rom?

I want to try some alternative kernels, but want to still have the option of going back to your kernel if the alternative ones doesn't function.

Thanks,
[Desire Android Development] craig1965:
If you look on the mini site under custom kernels they are all there including the original one

facebook links

Hello all,

first of all I'd like to thank the cook for a very good rom. I've just installed the latest standard version and have the same problem I had with the previous one. I can't link my contacts with the facebook contacts. In fact it doesn't even prompt me to, like it was with other sense roms (both HD and normal). Any idea why is that and how to solve the problem?

Thanks in advance.

[Desire Android Development] Iceberger:
Thanks,

Missed that one. Was looking in "Download Links". The kernels however are located under the tab "Resources" ;)

Upgrade and SD card change same time

I have installed StarBust 1.3.2 appr. a month and like it very much.

I have 2 problems noticed so far:

1. When starting apps, internet, mails etc. there is an appr. 1-2 sec lag before anything would happen. Currently I have 8GB HP class4 card partitioned to give 900MB ext4 and not sure if the speed of this card is the reason. Therefore would buy 16GB class10.

Which brand do you recommend (Kingston, Sandisk ..) and which ones should be avoided?

2. When I use widget for favourite people I noticed that time to time one of them go missing and when checking it though it belongs to favourites it is not dsiplayed. Why?

Also I can see there is a new version StarBust 1.3.3.1. How do I upgrade and change SD card at the same time? Like starting from scratch?

Also shall I increase ext4 from 900MB to 1.5 or even 2GB?

Thanks

Is flashing the stable data2sd always end up in losing the system settings after a reboot? Or is there a possibility present happening this? If it is I will flash the beta... thanks in advance...
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Beta preserves settings, Stable loses settings
[Desire Android Development] whips:
What settings exactly are lost? Because I was on beta and couldn't install apps after a while, so I switched to stable and problem went away. I then reboot just out of curiosity and when the phone restarted, everything was exactly as I left it! So I'm confused as to what settings are lost.
[Desire Android Development] OpusX11:
sd card failure or known issue?

so i'll start by saying, I'm in the mountains away from my sd card adapter, adb, and everything that could actually help me :)

I am running 1.3.2 with the W3 script, things have been beautiful for weeks. I saw that some apps could be updated, so I did maps 5.2, Rom Manager, and I tried to do Soundhound. Soundhound failed with the "insufficient storage" message. I thought, ok, I've read about this msg on the StarBurst thread, perhaps I managed to fill the memoy like others. I opened Quick System Info but I had about 28mb still free. I wasn't sure what to do so I powered off the phone and powered back on to reboot it, and I was in a brand new stock sense! I got a message saying "safe to remove SD card" and another about low storage. I was shocked and thought, ok, I'll go into recovery and see what if I can just restore since I take nandroids often. In recovery, I get "can't mount sd card"

So basically, I have dumbphone access, and can use data via the web while I'm in the mountains, but have zero access to the SD card.

When I get back, does anyone have advice on what steps I can take to help figure out if I need to send in the card (warranty is still there) or if there is something else wrong?

thanks in advance, I should be back to check in again tomorrow back in the city
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Wifi settings and Data on/off etc. These will be automatically reset to the values they had before data2sd was installed. Basically most of the toggles seen on the Menu>Settings window

Just search the Desire Q & A section for keywords related to an unmountable sd card. The ROM did not cause this. I believe the solution is also in Q & A. Of course the sd card could just have become defective.
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
What card have you got? Sometimes cheap or slow SD cards get I/O errors that lead to data loss and rom damage.

...before I had class 2 sd card and that is what made me to schedule titanium backup every night while charging.

When you get back to world of cables and adapters try to reformat your card to check if it's physically damaged or not.

I'd love the mod Power Control Widget Hacked Rosie in [THEME] Carbon Ara V2.6.

But I don't want to apply this theme. (It doesn't support Unicode fonts, special Vietnamese.)

Can you develop a update for these mods for your Rom?

Thank you so much.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
No I dont have time to work on other people's themes.
[Desire Android Development] vietnam123:
Sorry if I make you confused.

I just think if your ROM have Power Control Widget in notification like that . It's will be a perfect ROM for me. This mod is very useful.

So can you see it and think it just a moment?

Thank you very much.
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
Hi Droidzone,

As you remember, I'm using StarBurst for a long time. Since 1.3.3.x there are some issues and I'll try to properly address them tomorrow at work.

- after pure rom installation phone doesn't restart or just freezes.

- after full install, phone reboots on titanium restore what never happened before.

- Randomly I'm getting F/C' s of swype and google maps.

I wanted to blame kernel, but it happened on different kernels (Leedroids, Siebres).

It might be some sd card error, so I want to do full format tomorrow and here goes question:

If I repartition with Ra	Desire will be OK, or should I go Gparted?

You mentioned some alignment script some pages before.

I just want to fully optimize sd card to exclude related errors.

Regards! Ur rom is awesome!

Swyped via StarBurst Desire.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Something may have happened to the partitions. Check the partition in Gparted. The newer Data2sd versions also have automatic logging. A logcat may provide information. Try a e2fsck and tune2fs on your system in adb if you dont have the latest scripts.

We dont recommend partitioning with recovery. There may be alignment issues. Since I've never used anything other than Gparted for partitioning, I cant predict the results either. Sibere has a link to sdcard partition alignment on his data2sd op. I've never used it, but it should optimize your system further.

Random Reboots

Hi - I'm still on 1.3.2, but in the past couple of days I had the phone reboot, entirely on it own.

On both occasions the phone wasn't in use, just sitting on the side, screen off - I only noticed when the screen went white and into the HTC boot sequence.

On restarting everything is working as normal - any ideas? Should I try another card maybe? (Currently using a 16GB Sandisk Class 2)
[Desire Android Development] qweasdfzxc:
I was experiencing the same issue, than I flashed once again the rom after a wipe and without syncing facebook for htc sense it doesn't reboot again, thus I actually don't know why
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
THX, I've got Gparted at Hiren's Boot, Ophcrack and BackTrack so I'll test it tomorrow at work.

Used only Ra Desire for partitioning so far (without any issues), but I know SD cards are moody so something could just get screwed up and I barely blame your rom. That's why instead of spam with flames I'll check everything twice and post results.

BTW, I'm on 1.3.3.3 and data2sd W6f. Always on your newest releases as soon as they show up ;) I'll check everything at work as at home I've got limited time and resources due to my 2 years old daughter. She just loves to press Power button on my laptop. ;) THX once again!

Upgrading to new version

Hi - I want to update from 1.3.2 to 1.3.3.1 - the instructions on your site say

Boot to recovery

Backup from Recovery

Install the new Rom from recovery without a wipe.

Immediately install the Data2SD reinstaller (This should be the Reinstaller corresponding to the Installer you previously used. Note: You should never use a newer Data2SD reinstaller while doing a reinstall, unless specifically told to)

Reboot

I have previously used Data2SD 0.7 - the version of the reinstaller on the site is 1.2

Does this matter, or do I need to get the old version from somewhere?
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
DroidZone, Sibere, one more question to you guys.

Is Alignment with Gparted enough, or would you recommend any other alignment methods for partition optimalisation?

Cheers!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I myself am not clear on that..Let's wait for Sibere's response on that one.
