Yo,
Big thanks to XDA!
The short version.I'm in Alaska, we won't get froyo working correctly on our network up here for a while........Right now I'm running a CDMA Unrevoked 2.1 rom and the phone does everything I need except app2sd. I've done allot of hunting with no conclusive answers to my following question.
Can I push my apps the sd card on the unmodified CDMA unrevoked rom.(try saying that 10 times fast...)I have partitioned the sd with clockwork (rom manger) but have not been able to find a way to push apps to the sd with an unmodified unrevoked rom.I may be missing the most obvoius answer but I'm asking anyway......
I know this will be asked.Why not run a custom rom?
I have run a few modded roms, but I have issues with them on our network up here. Not the roms fault,so I'm working with what we have. The best (no bugs) rom I've run up here, is the unrevoked 2.1 cdma rom.
If app2sd cannot be done on the stock 2.1 unrevoked rom I can accept that and wait.I just need confirmation for the masters.
Any help is appreciated!
THanks,
Nick
If your using a rooted stock sense rom just flash this boot to get app2sd to work on your phone.

Its for cellsouth but works with ACS according to the post and it worked fine on my GCI/Digitel phone as well.
I just used Darktremor's apps2sd. Make sure and move the Dalvik Cache too as you will still run out of space on the desire.
Here are the commands for apps2sd
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7021609&postcount=5
Awesome! I downloaded both files and installed as recommended. I already had the SD partition using Rom manager so I only had to flash from the SD. Looks like its working so far.
Thanks!

Yo!
So to give an update and a hint if others on ACS are setting this up. If I move that dalvic cache to SD the phone is dropping the network. Phone and internet. I moved dalvic cache back to internal and all is well. It may be due to a new topram 32g SD card I installed at the same time as app2sd , but I'm okay with the compromise on internal space given the phone is not glitchy at all now. Figured I would give a heads up to anyone up here.

Hi,
I want to know if it is possible to have App2SD/Data2SD on a standard Stock ROM with Sense, if not...Could someone tell me what is the closets most stable Stock ROM available.
I have come across Starburst and Cool DesireS (which is not stable with major bugs) and more that I forgot the names of.
Thank you!
Find Teppics one, its basically stock and you add what you want to it. Rock solid by all accounts

Thanks for you reply Eddy. I would like to ask if you could help me one more time and tell me the steps to flash this rom.
Rom:
2.29.405.5 ROM
Updates:
A2SD+
What I have now:
Code:
Android 2.2
Baseband: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Kernal: 2.6.32.15
Build: 2.29.405.2
And is it really necessary to install the Radio supplied? After this I should be able to restore apps using Titanium.
Many Thanks

I couldn't agree more, seeing more than 15MB with the Low Storage notification far fetched for my phone would just make my day.
I have standard 4GB card that comes with the desire, and if I decide to go with StarBurst, I'm not sure what 'ext' to pick.
Please someone help me flash 'Teppics ROM' and guide me on what ext for my card I should use, I need to do this quickly. Thanks!
For data2SD ext4 is recommend. Download gparted and use that to do partition. Your 4gb card will be fine am sure its a class 4 just do a ext 1gb partition, am guessing you already rooted your phone if so once you have done the partitioning download the ROM and put it onto the root of your SD card and then boot into recovery.

If you do go with starburst this is the main site it has lots of information about installing.

Thank you for assisting me. I think I will try Teppic's ROM and I may consider StarBurst soon after.

Does this guide also apply to other roms such as Teppic's? And What 'ext' would recommend for this ROM?
Many Thanks.

I have agreed to try this ROM as you have convinced me from your first post and by having read what Teppic's ROM has to offer.
My question was: What ext and partition is best suited for my card?
Thanks!
I use a 1GB EXT3 partition and it works fine

Your better of downloading Gparted and burn to disk, then boot from it.
download it from here
http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
Here video showing how to use it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9d7qhBpCJQc
Because Android is linux its ment to be better to use a linux partitioning software like Gparted, so I have read I had no problems using this. Where on my first time doing this I used a windows app and had lots of problems.

Thanks for this, I will ensure I use this next time (if I forget). I had managed to partition the SD Card on my own using GParted nethertheless.
Again, Thank you!
I use the RCMixHD v.3.6.1 D2EXT
no problems until yet.

Hello there Dudes!
First i want to send you my compliments for your GREAT and helpfull sites/ forum about all rootings & stuff
A past few Days i had such no idea about rooting etc. You helped me sooo much, i just want to say thank you...
And NOW?!?!
I'm coming from FROYO_2.2.2 with 5.11.xx now i have the OFFICIAL GB 2.3.3 with 5.17.xx
I HAVE ROOT! I HAVE S-OFF!
I have a new Hboot and CWM flashed!!!
Everything works fine.
But I still have problems with the internal Memory. A few aps and im out of space This is why i now had part my sd with des RomManager Tool. 512 to ext and 256 to cache.
But the Stock-Install don't mount the ext.part.
Now i have read, i had to do it BEVORE install ROM. Right? Not a big Problem, but i want to stay Stock as possible. So this ROM seems to be perfekt.
It shouldn't be any problem with GSM/HSDPA/EDGE and all the european NetworkStuff?!?
By the way: Provider is O2 (but i think it doesn't matter)
BUT:
Now I have a little problem to download the file from mirror placed in the entry-post. Is it a fault of my network or did you move the files to another server?
Can you give me an alternate adress?
I can't post in the developer forms.
THX a LOT
PS: Just another little Q i didn't find an answer:
Must a system be installed on the device, to flash a new ROM with an RUU executive? Or will it work too if the Desire in Bootmenu, only?
Hi,
I Didn't need to activate a2sd before installing rom.
I use Cyanogenmod, but i thing it should work on stock rom too.
Search for “darktremor“.

And you need only the recovery to flash a rom.

Have you installed a2sd addon from Teppic's thread?
SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk.
No, I hadn't install the ap2sd from teppic yet, because the downlink seems to be broken too.
But, it doesn't matter. I want to wipe my phone, because of other (i hope) software errors I had on phone since a long time.
For example the international storage have after install the GB update from 2.2 to 2.3 only ~110 to 120 MB free. This can't be right, can it?
So, now I want to try to do a new installation with min 3 wipes/ factory reset before.
This is why the question is: can I install a RUU file over USB, when there is not longer a system on phone? I think I have to make it from Cmw-Recovery with an zip?
So, my greatest wish is. Please give me a funktional downlink to the system of teppic!
Thanks so far!
Edit: now I realized the post from conch
UPDATE:
Plugged in a new 8GB µSD (C4) and partition it with CWM-Recovery to 1024MB ext and 256MB Swap.
This should be enough
Now coming up a new Question. What is the ext-part now of format? ext-2/3/4? I don't have seen any option to change this in recovery? Is the AmonRa better with this? I read, there you can have a format of your choice.
So, now I only have to get the rom of teppic
EDIT: New thinking way...
1. Can the errors be solved by a damaged kernel? The ROM's dosn't inklude Kernel, does it?
How can completely change/erase the Kernel and flash a new one? Like the Same as flash an ROM or Radio?
2. When i flash an lower ROM (2.1/2.2) coming from a newer/higher (like 2.3.3 with Radio_5.17.xx) do i have to change the Radio too? Maybe for an 2.2 the 5.11.xx? Or will 2.2.x & 2.1 also work with an higher Radio (like 5.17.xx)
Thanks a lot!

You think so? I've read somewhere that its used for dalvic-cache?! When it realy makes no sense, how can I remove it? By formatting the SD new? Or can I manage the partitions with a windows tool?

I think it is for the best you do it from the scratch. Extending partitions rarely gives desired results IMHO.

So far, so good...
I had now installed the Stock GB Rom. From the official developer update RUU.
A few wipes, before install, seems to be cleaned my system. No I have ~125MB free space on phone!
I installed the CWMR 5.0 again and also the SU 3.x from teppic. Everything looks fine and working.
Just again the same little problem that the diskspace for my apps will be totaly full soon... What did the think about this little storage??? Arrrgglll!
Before installing ROM i changed the partition on SD to 1024MB ext-3 without swap.
And noew I have installed the ap2sd from teppic74 too. In recovery, everything looks fine. The install-procedure runs to end and show no errors.
But I still have 125MB and can't find any ap2sd app or something
Do i have to mount the ext-3 in any way, or did I miss something other?
Best regards and many thanks to all the people answered me! And not much less all the people who created this forum!
1) a2sd is not an app but a script. Besides ls I don't think there is a way except observing how your /data partition behaves. Frankly, I think adb is little over your head now. If not, search Droidzone's guide.
2) exactly what are you doing? You have a ruu installed now and you flash a2sd over it, or you installed Teppic's ROM?
SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk.
Exactly I installed the developer RUU. Then flash it over adb with the ClockworkMod-Recovery and than install the v3.x SU from teppic with flashing from CWMR. Make new boot to check if SU works. Seems to be fine.
Then installed the ap2sd, from teppic, again with CWMR. Looks fine. But I don't think it was success. Because I've seen a screenshot in another thread, from an HTC desire, where you can see, the phone storage is more than 1GB. But I don't find this post again:/
Now I go on, first install the "Rom Manager".
So pls my friends tell me what I did wrong. Because the great internal storage with ap2sd+ was the main reason to make my phone root.

A2sd+ doesn't change the reported internal memory. That screen shot is from something else. I have a root memory faq in my signature which will explain how it works

I am using energy 3.5 sense rom with an anthrax kernel. I just got my new 32gb sd card and have been looking into partitioning it. I tried once and couldnt seem to find the ext2 folder. I put my 8gb card back in. I have done some looking into it some and am wondering what is the best way to partition with clockworkmod? after i do get my sd card partitioned do i have to reflash the rom and kernel? I read it in a tutorial but was wondering if it was essential. Also, if i go to AmonRa 2.3 where can i find it? i can never seem to find where to download it.
Thanks guys im still trying to learn.

Yep, Moreno is dead on the money. I partitioned mine with Amon-Ra and had zero problems. Of course, then I accidently wiped my SD Card while doing a flash and had to start over. Make sure you use Dark Tremors Apps2SD after installing your ROM to take full advantage of your partition (but you probably already knew that!).

is it true that after partitioning your sdcard that older nandroids you have from where the sdcard was not partitioned cant be used without causing some issues?
It shouldn't be a problem... I believe I have seen that question before and the dev kinda of covered that with this recovery, he actually did a fantastic job so to be honest you won't have any issues as far as that, it still should do the trick.
Ok thanks. Was also wondering if it's necessary to do a fresh download/install of all apps from the market?

I just got my og Evo 4g (on the 3d now) back on for my wife since she dropped hers and is in 2 pieces lol. I havent been on the 4g forum in a long long time and need some help from you guys.
I have found out the im on android 2.2 with baseband version 2.15.00.11.19
Was running Eternal Prophecy v6.1 and on 2.6.32.27 netarchy kernel. I know im pretty far behind and want to know how i would go about getting the phone up to date and run a rom that is pretty stable since its for my wife. She has been bashing me ever since ive found out about rooting and flashing roms, so i want to hook her up with a stable rom with all bloatware removed, and show her that "aftermarket" roms are way better than the one that came with the phone. Any recommendations would be helpful.
Oooohhhhh....1 thing, i dont have the SD card anymore and most likely will be putting her SD card in, would that be ok?
Yes that should be okay. Might need to partition the card via recovery. Roms I have been using cm7 for aosp and mikG for sense. They are both good. Kernels that are out for gingerbread are anthrax, lionfish, and a couple of others. If you want to go straight stock give tommytomatoes classic rom a go. He has tweaked that rom pretty good. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply....I'm still kinda noob on partitioning lol, what do you mean exactly by partitioning via recovery? Is that the whole ext4 thing?
If you are running the latest version of Clockwork mod recovery, you have the option to partition the SD card directly from the recovery. Hope that help man.

What do I do after I partition the SD card?
Partition your card 32/1024, once you do that your SD card should be complete. Partitioning your card will delete everything in your card so be cautious and backup your memory onto a computer
