[JAN 25][ROM-ZIP]Stock Desire HD on EU HD2 [A2SD+][CWM][RMNET/PPP][Kernel:MDJ,Gauner]

Hi all,
This is not squashed ROM for EU HD2 which contains all files from the stock RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.3_R_Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_release_161342_signed. Yes of course some executables(akmd, reboot, vold), some libraries, some config files and kernel were replaced for Leo. The reason of why I do this is my wish to have Desire HD ROM on my EU HD2 which is closest to stock.
The ROM size is about 407M. I do not like squashed ROMs. We all have sdcards and I do not see any sense to make squashed ROM. Therefore this build uses the second partition of sdcard to store dalvik cache, data, system apps, framework. So size of this rom in NAND is 391Mb, and in sdcard is 16Mb. I recommend you to use 1024MB second partition, but not less.
My CWM installation script mounts the second partition of sdcard to /data, creates sysfiles directory and copies /system/etc/clockwidget, and /system/etc/slideshow and /system/etc/soundimage to this second partition into /data/sysfiles directory. After that the script creates symbolic links to these three directories in /system/etc direcory, and copies all other files of ROM to system partition in NAND. So we have 391Mb of files in NAND, and 16Mb of files in the second partition of sdcard.
The kernel mounts the second partition of sdcard to /data before the init.rc script will be run. Therefore android use this partition as internal storage, and we see free space of this partition as free phone storage in info.
The content:
- Full stock Desire HD RUU 1.72.405.3
- Last Gauner's kernel.
- Fixed mms.
- Fixed WiFi MAC.
- Fixed su.
- Fixed sql lib.
- Fixed first and external partition mounting.
- Percent battery.
- Rmnet is ON by default, if you would like to enable ppp you should create ppp file in /system directory and reboot your phone. To create the ppp file you should connect your phone to PC and run this command in a terminal:
adb shell touch /system/ppp
You should delete this file and reboot your phone if you would like to enable rmnet again:
adb shell rm -f /system/ppp
Not worked:
- 720p recording
- bluetooth MAC
Removed apps:
- Ereader. Use the attached archive if you would like to use ereader. Install it by CWM.
Link to ereader
"How to install" is in the readme file of the build. Please, read it! This ROM is only flashable using ClockworkMod. CWM v 1.2 is included into archive of this build. Note, system partition in NAND should be 399Mb.
CWM v 1.2 fix:
If you would like to use CWM backup and restore you should replace CWM initrd.gz file on this file. I fixed CWM to soppurting partition layout without userdata partition..
Update the previous version ROM:
If you would like to update the previous version you should not touch your sdcard. You should do this only: format NAND by task29, install magldr, flash new CWM partition layout, install new ROM.
Recommendations:
- I recommend to format NAND by task29 before install this ROM. After formatting will be done you should install magldr again. All tools are included into the archive.
- I recommend to calibrate G-Sensor. To do it go to Seetings->Display->G_Sensor calibration->, place your phone FACE-DOWN on level surface, press Calibrate button. After calibration will be finished press Ok button.
- If you would like to use the "backup second partition" feature in CWM, the second partition should be labeled as sd-ext.
- Sometimes magldr does copying of data with errors(lost data) in the "USB MassStg" mode, but you do not see these errors. Next you can see that the ROM installation was finished shortly. If it happens you should look into CWM log and you will see some errors of files extraction from archive. If you will copy this archive to sdcard again, but only by CWM or by other cardreader, you will not see these errors in CWM log. Therefore I recommend you to copy ROM zip to sdcard by CWM or by other cardreader.
- To get a CWM log you should do this:
a) Install the ROM
b) After the installation will be completed you should not reboot your phone! Go to "advanced" item of CWM menu.
c) Next select "Report Error" item. CWM will create the clockworkmod directory in root of sdcard.
d) Next copy the recovery.log file from the clockworkmod directory and attach this file to the thread. I will check it.
- The first loading(from the phone rebooting moment to appearance of the language choice screen) is long. Be patient, please.
- Please, setup only that you really need during the first boot. Desire ROM is syncing and configuring a lot of stuff during first boot if you have entered your google account. I recommend to setup all needed accounts after initial setup. And, please, let system sync and configure all stuff, next reboot your phone. After this work will be completed the ROM will be fast. I recommend:
a) disable the sync of accounts which are no needed for you, or change "Update schedule" of these accounts.
b) disable the "Back up my setting" for google account if it is no needed for you.
c) disable Automatic brightness and set Brightness to min value.
- Note, please, you can use CifsManager to mount cifs(samba(ms windows))/nfs network resources to your phone. This tool is available in the Market. It allows you to play music or watch movies from any shared resources which are available in your local network without copying this content to your phone. To use it your phone should be connected to local network by WiFi.
Currently I have 2Gb ext4 second partition on my Transcend 6-class sdcard. I can tell the system works properly and fast:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Performance:
Please, look at my video if you would like to see the performance of this ROM.
Download:
EFP v.2 HD2 Desire HD stock (last Gauner's kernel)
Kernels: (only if you would like to replace a kernel of your already installed ROM to other kernel)
Gauner's kernel with ext4
MDJ's 10.3 kernel
MDJ's 10.4OC kernel
Updates:
Desire HD stock toolbar
Desire HD custom toolbar with percent battery
How to install kernels, updates or fixs:
1. You should have already ClockworkMod(zImage and initrd.gz) on sdcard. If you use ROM-ZIP builds I think you have it already.
2. Copy the update.zip file from an update or a fixs archive to sdcard root.
3. Reboot your phone, hold Power button to access the magldr menu.
4. Next select the "Boot AD SD" item. ClockworkMod will be loaded and you will see ClockworkMod Recovery menu.
5. Select the "apply update from sdcard" item.
6. Select "Yes".
7. After flashing will be done select the "reboot system now" item.

what working and not working ???

It would be nice to have the readme of each build at least posted in the first post, so we don't have to download everything to see if we need it
I am always looking for a PURE/Stock Desire HD build, with no frils and no EXTRA apps, for a TMOUS HD2. But with no readme , i'll wait for someone first.
Greetings Santroph

Did it Include CM Mod setting?

Ok, thats what I get for beeing unpacient, downloaded it, before even reading the thread hehehe
So it is what it says, only CWM versions of the sayd rom....
I don't need it synce I don;t use CWM, but, some people might like it. Thanks anyway.
Greetings Santroph.

is this ext 2 ,ext 3 ,ext 4 same?

Wel he did say that in the very first line of his post
But Until I get some sort of details on the builds and whats in it and whats not, I'll download MDJ's and let it sit on my sd card, cause I found CWM yesterday, and personally love it, especially with being able to take most NAND roms and convert them to CWM makes it ideal.

From the "How to instal" in readme file:
...Copy the CwMRec directory from the 2_step directory to root of sdcard.
After copying will be finished disconnect USB cable.
Go to "Services->BootSettings->AD SD Dir" in the magldr menu and select the CWMREC directory....
1. Perhaps you forgot to disconnect a USB cable safely.
2. You copied the content of the CwMRec directory to root of sdcard, but not the CwMRec directory. In this case the CwMRec directory not exists on sdcard, the zImage and initrd.gz files are placed in root of sdcard. You should skip the step of selecting directory for boot from SD or select the <.> .

This is a2sd+.
In case of A2SD the internal storage does not include external partition, you will see only size of free space in NAND. But in case A2SD+ you will see free space of the external partition as size of intrenal storage.

I am using Gauner's kernel build currently and I do not have any issues with root.

something is awfully wrong
the gauner version keeps giving me a bootloop

I think you forgot to disconnect a USB cable safely. Or you copied the content of the CwMRec directory to root of sdcard, but not the CwMRec directory.

Storage issues with Link2SD

I've rooted my phone about a week ago and have been fiddling around with all the different things i can do with the phone, but my main reason for doing it was to help with the crap internal storage it has. So i got Link2SD setup and partitioned my SD card with a second ex2 partition, and for a while it will work well, i will have around 70-80mb listed as free on my internal but that won't really change much even when adding and linking new files with l2sd, but lately i've been running into a problem where it will drop down to 10-20 mb and just stay there. I've already tried formatting and doing a clean install which will fix it for a day or so, but it keeps dropping low and staying there even when i delete things to clean up space. I've clean installed 4 times already with the same effect, and now it's getting annoying since i started fresh yesterday and had the issue come up almost instantly, wiped again and now i'm already back at the same spot.. is there some folder that is filling up that i'm unaware of? I'm just very confused about this issue now hah, any help would be greatly appreciated

Link2sd doesn't prevent your phone from thinking that internal storage is full, I think.
I'd recommend trying s2e instead.
-----------
"You can overclock as much as you want, your phone will always seem too slow."

hmm, s2e won't run on stock rom will it? i think i've read that it will only run on cm7/9

Hmm. When I was new to link 2 sd I had same problem. Don't worry I got a fix. ^_^
1.Uninstall stupid system apps you don't use. We need to make space in system partition.
2. Download titanium backup and when u open it. Go to options select integrate davlic cache into rom. It'll take few minutes, when it's complete reboot.
3. Make sure all files are linked.
4. Clear cache occasionally.
5. If you still are low on space you may use this command as the last option.
Warning: you may have to reboot phone after installing a new app to run it for first time.
Go to terminal
Type 'su'
Accept superuser request.
Type 'a2sd cachesd'
Phone will reboot and may take some time to start.
6. That should be it. I'm running cm9 with link 2 sd and I have more than 100 apps still I got 75 mb free.

When you flash a new rom, make sure first thing you do is installation of Link2SD.
Tick auto link on it, and then install whatever you want.
It's how I solved that problem.
Now I have 107 apps installed with Link2SD, and around ~40mb of free internal space.

Try deleting files in /data/tombstones (if there is any), using a file explorer.

Many apps will save their data in your internal memory, even if they're linked to your SD. There are some programs (like S2E) that can move all your data to your SD but you may loose performance if you don't have a fast SD. One alternative is using Titanium Backup to move to SD data of individual apps, this way you can keep in your internal memory the data you want to access quickly (ie your contacts) and you move to SD all the other data. The process is reversible and if you think it slows down too much a specifc app you can move back its data to internal memory.
To do dat you have to go to "Copy/Restore" in Titanium Backup, long-press one app and scroll down until you find the option "Move app data to SD".
This way I've been able to save about 60 MB of additional internal memory and I haven't noticed any change in performance.
An additional advantage is that this Titanium Backup feature is available in the free version; the Dalvik cache integration proposed in a previous post is locked if you don't have PRO version.

Linking /data/data app files for free?

Hi,
Can anyone confirm if this is still true. I've just installed Titanium Backup Free v5.5.2 and in the "Backup/Restore" screen I follow the instructions above and see a 'Move to SD card' option, but no 'Move app data to SD' option. Choosing the 'Move to SD card' option does not move the app data. Is it still available in the free app?
I'm very happy with link2sd with my stock rom HTC Wildfire S except that it doesn't offer me the ability to selectively link /data/data application files. Perhaps there's another linking app that does a more complete job? I've seen this thread mention simple2ext but that seems to require Cyanogenmod.
Cheers,
Mark

I can provide an answer to my own question here. It turns out that the 'Move app data to sd card' option only appears if Titanium Backup sees a valid mount point, as per this documentation: http://www.titaniumtrack.com/kb/titanium-backup-kb/titanium-backup-technical-faq.html#requirements-for-using-move-app-data-to-sd
If you have a phone like mine (Wildfire S, stock rom v2.3.5) then you don't have one of the TB supported mount points so you have to create it yourself using Terminal Emulator and Busybox
e.g.
Code:
$ su
# ln -s /data/sdext2 /data/sd
# mkdir /data/sdext2/app
Also I've now discovered that for the functionality to work properly the second partition must be a unix filesystem type like ext2, ext3 or ext4, but not vfat (FAT32) since that doesn't allow TB to create symbolic links.
There's more discussion of this and gory details on this thread
Cheers,
Mark

Brother u are a life saver, I just followed your syntax and it worked like charm. I am now having 98 mb of internal memory from 38mb.
But have Couple of question for u....
1. Can u tell me if I have to run this command again and again after installing new apps or will it work on its own if once executed?
2. I have link2sd installed before this command and have linked all the files to 2nd partion of my sd card.
Is it safe to uninstall link2sd app now?

1. You only need this command again when the memory runs way too low. Don't try it again coz it reduces performance too.
2. I guess you can/ I've never tried it tough.

I ran into problem with your command...it force closes some of my apps which I noticed later ....
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using xda premium

I had the same problem a while ago that i had to reflash the rom because apps were force closing all the time
The reason this happened was because i downloaded several apps at the same time, so Link2SD didnt had enough time to link all files
and the internal memory became full and went crazy
the only solution for me was deleting all apps and reinstalling them
so my recommendation would be not to download more than 1 app at the same time, wait for Link2SD to link files, and then download the next one

Actually I did that I did a factory reset and then ran the command..bt after that my internal apps was also force closing like playstore,etc

I think Link2sd and DTa2sd can't run at the same time. You'll be get FC everytime install new apps.

i have the same problem and the solution (2 steps) is a bit stupid but here it is:
1 - go into (manage applications) in settings and wait till it calculate the storage of every app (under every app's name), where you will find that the memore increased usually from 12 mb to abou 20 mb.
2 - you have to go into link2sd app and do one of these 3 things:
1. link library files
2. link dalvic cache files
3. clear cache (not clear dalvic cache)
one of these options or more will do the track. now check storage and you will find more 30 or 40 mb
if anyone know a good application that links data too, i'l be very thankful

I am using link2sd with ext3 partition created through cwm recovery after re booting some apps disappear and i have to install them again
Any fix?

[Q] Manually transfer certain app to the sd-ext (ext3/4) ?

Just wondering is there any way to manually transfer certain app to the sd-ext (ext3/4).
Any hidden setting or tweak in S2E ?
I am using S2E but it moves all your applications to sd-ext and don’t let you choose the applications that you want to move.
I only want to move games,unimportant,less frequent used or non background applications to sd-ext.I think launchers and some other apps just run better or need to be in the internal memory for max performace and to minimize battery drain.
Is there any way to get around ?

if it is moving all your apps and you want to move certain apps back then you could use an app called system cleanup. its a really useful app,once its loaded its as simple as long pressing the desired app and choosing your option. titanium backup also does the same and has a batch mode. not sure if this is what your looking for or not?
edit: miss read your post,so i dont think this will move to sdext? but may come in useful

As far as i understand "system cleanup" will move certain apps to "/system".That is not what we did MTD partiton for.
The problem is when you install an app,S2E moves it to sd-ext(ext3/4) and don’t let you choose the applications that you want to move.I want to manually transfer the app either to"/sd-ext" or "/sdcard" or just keep it in internal memory(/system).
e.g. App A in system
App B in /sd-ext
App C in /sdcard

Not sure if you confuse something? Apps on sd?
And yes, you're right: s2e doesn't let you pick individual apps - but... I believe that's a good idea thinking about performance (just my opinion, though).
Any time I have the feeling an app should be in internal I'd push it to system (usually i won't run out of space there as i strip a lot of bloat out). This makes even more sense to me than using two data partitions (what you would have when selectively moving apps to sd or vice versa).
All my user apps and dalvik-cache are on sdext (so there's no need for the OS to search and less possibility to struggle). I use custom mtd partitions, too, but the internal data partition isn't useless as there's still a lot of app data...
But like i said: just my opinion ymmv.

Nope,I am not confused.I want to manually move selected apps to
>Internal data partition
>SD-ext(ext3/4)
>SD Card(like APP2SD let you choose the apps you want to transfer to external storage)
In short,moving only select apps to the ext-3/4 partition.
The more system related stuff you move to the SD ext, the more information it needs to pull out from the SD Card.
As i said some critical apps need to be in the internal memory for stability and performance reasons while it's better to keep some heavy apps like Offline maps or Dictionaries to external memory (FAT32 partiton).
Any time I have the feeling an app should be in internal I'd push it to system (usually i won't run out of space there as i strip a lot of bloat out).

I don't want to push apps to system as it's size is 140 MB and out of that 23 MB is free i.e you can't push more than 2-3 apps.And if you really want,you will have to change your MTD partiton again and again.
I use custom mtd partitions, too, but the internal data partition isn't useless as there's still a lot of app data.

As S2E moves all your apps to sd-ext and don't let you choose whether you want to move or just keep in internal data partition.Whta's the use of internal memory and SD-Card meory.My internal data partition is 310 MB.I don't think the app data can fill even half of it.Moreover 512 MB of SD-ext will get filled very soon.Well,I don't care about running about of space as I can increase the size of ext partiton,I just want it to let me choose the apps that I want to move.
Any idea ?

is not a good idea in my eyes (and from my experience).
FAT32 might be good to store some data (nothing db related or where apps are writing onto very often)

and that's where I think you are at least a bit wrong... an external partition (ext2,3 or 4) is treated just the same way like /data and /system. Of course it might be a bit slower than partitions on the internal drive (and have some faults or instabilities) but it's still a system partition while the FAT32 part of the SD card uses a different format (which will definitely affect performance).
I don't want to push apps to system as it's size is 140 MB and out of that 23 MB is free i.e you can't push more than 2-3 apps.And if you really want,you will have to change your MTD partiton again and again.

nah, I don't think so - you just do it once and keep in mind that you want to push a few apps there (me for instance deletes a lot of stuff from the ROM, too... if I'm not mistaken that's more than I push back there)
As S2E moves all your apps to sd-ext and don't let you choose whether you want to move or just keep in internal data partition.Whta's the use of internal memory and SD-Card meory.My internal data partition is 310 MB.I don't think the app data can fill even half of it.

I use the same link2sd and it works perfectly: it's easy to decide what applications to move to sd-ext or to keep into the internal memory.

Is link2sd something for u? It transfers individuale apps to and from the sd-ext partition.

Yep,link2sd can do the job but it could be better if S2E provides the same feature and let us choose the apps that we want to move.
Well,after a long forum research i have reached a conclusion that link2sd is way better than S2E.

Yep,i did mean dictionary and maps.
And here comes link2sd to your rescue :
It also provides native apps2sd features on Android 2.2 and higher. It can move any non-protected user apps to SD card (force move), with batch moving capability.
me for instance deletes a lot of stuff from the ROM, too... if I'm not mistaken that's more than I push back there

Did you use TB to remove bloatwares and other unnecessary stuff ?

nah, most of the time manual edit. Best practice would be to do the testing by removing the apps one by one and if you're done delete them from the ROM zip and use this as your barebone (and remember which apps are safe to remove).
Btw there are a few good hints of Slymobi and me in the LeWa thread (regarding CM7) which could be seen as an update for the barebones entry in the cyanogenmod wiki.

I dont think link2sd is way better. The just do 2 different things.
Link2sd lets u manually push or pull apps to ext. So after each new app install u need to push the app again. It is only useful when u only want a couple of ur apps to ext. It works nice if u dont want to have every app on ext.
S2E will transfer all apps, data and / or dalvik to ext. So u always have enough internal memory. This works especially well when u transfer the apps to ext, but the data not.
They are both very goods apps. U cant compare them to each other, i think. It is just what u want at that moment

It's possible to set link2sd to automatically move every new app to sd-ext just after the installation and then manually move back to the internal memory if necessary.

Yep i know ,
But then i dont see the point of using it, because s2e is already build into CM sort of (just need to download the interface). And with link2sd u get a massive script thats needs to be loaded. Not that it will slow down the device very much.
And with my device, link2sd sometimes wont load all the apps. But that is my experience.

Here is why link2sd is better and we want to use it :
>It let us choose the apps we want to move.
>I don't want to move launchers and some other apps due to stability reasons.
>S2E moves and regenrates too much of a cache.
>S2E works only for CM roms
>link2sd provides better control
>some users have reported the issue that after sometime the apps starts to disappear in S2E.
>S2E doesn't work with Titanium Backup properly.
>S2E creates problems during Nandroid backup.I approve that.
>S2E only supports ext3/ext4
>In worst case scenario (card crash) you are gonna bang your head on the wall as it moves everything to sd ext partition.
>In S2E you can't use any application while your card is mounted as a removable disk on your PC.
Other features of link2sd :
Features:
- Create and remove link for apk, dex and lib files of the applications you select
- Automatically link newly installed apps
- Move any user apps to SD even though the app does not support moving to SD (for Android 2.2 and higher)
- Shows the apps that support moving to SD with native apps2sd (for Android 2.2 and higher)
- Set the default install location of the apps; auto, internal, or external (for Android 2.2 and higher)
- Batch link, unlink, reinstall, uninstall, "move to SD", "move to phone" functions (multi-select mode)
- Uninstall system applications
- Freeze and un-freeze system and users applications
- Convert system apps into user apps
- Convert user apps into system apps
- Integrate "Updated" system apps into system (ROM)
- Clear data and cache of the application
- Clear all apps cache at once (1-tap cache cleaner without being root)
- List applications, show detailed size information and link status
- Sort and filter applications
- Search applications by name
- Display available space information of internal storage, SD card and SD card 2nd partition

nothing wrong using link2sd - everybody has a different setup and different priorities. So just to tell you a different point of view: In my opinion moving apps from the stable and fast internal storage to an external partition is not a good solution at all - but if you aren't satisfied with installing just a hand full of user apps this is the only way to go. In opposite to your opinion i believe (and have the experience) that spreading the user apps onto two partitions (plus the system apps on the system partition) definitely is not more stable than just moving all apps in one place. To me this makes sense as the system needs more information about the app (where to find). It's like having two /data/app directories... I'm pretty much satisfied with my setup (s2e) and didn't have any major issues for one and a half year. I can't confirm any issues regarding cache or "lost apps". The only thing i experienced twice was the system forgot about the ext partition (which could happen with every other solution, too, afaik and hasn't been much trouble to solve).
Furthermore i really believe that the best place for the important stuff, like launcher and file manager, is in /system/app ...
But again: nothing wrong with different prefs...

[A] The increase of internal memory HTC Wildfire S

The increase of internal memory HTC Wildfire S
I am always tired of the same message "Not enough memory to install the application." You might, too. Now there is a way to increase the amount of internal memory through the memory card.
And so we go.
Attention! This method only works for CyanogenMod 10 (possibly CyanogenMod 9). As all the data that you have on your memory card will be erased, so make a backup. Firmware will rest again.
If all you are satisfied, then read on.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Download this archive to your computer.
2. Unpack it.
3. Go to the folder system -> etc -> init.d
4. Downloading or be on the computer archive firmware. (CM 10)
5. Opens archive firmware (you can use regular WinRar)
6. Go to the folder system -> etc -> init.d
7. Drag the file from the archive (file name 40int2ext) in an archive folder firmware.​
From the archive finished. Take up the phone.
1. We connect the phone to the computer in the drive.
2. Format the flash drive in FAT32
3. Disconnect the phone from the computer
3. Load your phone to CWM Recovery​
Working with Recovery
P.S. If anyone has forgotten, remind. Moving to CWM Recovery volume keys. Confirm selection - power button.
1. Wipe data / wipe cache
2. Advanced -> Partition SDcard (choose your desired size - the size, which will increase the phone memory. I chose the 512 because I have a memory card is only 2GB).
SWAP - 0!
3. Expect when the screen will say Done
4. Go Back
5. Mount and Storage -> USB Storage
6. We connect the phone to the computer via a USB cord.
7. Resets modified firmware archive.
8. After finishing click Unmount
9. Set the archive firmware
10. Rejoice in expanded memory.​

Dude...unlock your bootloader thru htcdev.com...den root it...and install a recovery...then install custom roms like cm10 cm9 etcetra

Alex, BRILLIANT!!!!
I only just upgraded to CyanogenMod 10 and saw your post, and now my apps page on my wildfire S is reading :
Internal Storage: 322MB used, 3.4GB free, I had an 8GB SD card and allocated 4GB for the partition size.
When it finally booted it was sluggish (be patient if you are just trying this, it takes a fair while to boot), obviously things were still loading in the background as i opened the screen. But after a few seconds it was working faster than ever!!
Considering the price of Class 10 SD cards these days, i'm unsure yet whether to get a 16GB or 32GB with 50/50 partition size, i think it would be the perfect addition for my "New" Wildfire S. Hope the extra space doesn't actually slow it down. Will post an update on my findings.
Many, MANY thanks, your English was not a problem btw =)
EXCELLENT!!!
Cheers

If your phone is running under an official Android firmware, and the HBoot is unlocked, and you want to root it, i suggest to take a look at unlockroot. This is a simple tool to enable root access on your WFS phone, and I found it very simple to use.

I can confirm that Int2ext+ works in CM9, but I managed to get it going a bit easier than modifying the ROM before it was applied.
Step 1: partition SD card with FAT32:ext4:swap
Step 2: perform wipe and format functions prior to installation
Step 3: install CM9 per ROM instructions
Step 4: before you reboot to finish CM9 install, mount sd-ext and sdcard
Step 5: apply Int2ext+ zip from sdcard
Step 6: reboot
Step 7: get cup of coffee while phone reboots
Step 8: enjoy more space on your WildfireS
I know this is a horribly written and formatted post, I hate typing on the iPad. I'll fix it whe I get home if its too confusing and/or annoying for anyone.

I assume you would use this instead of Link2SD?
So you would have to start again with steps like Dan in SA mentions.

I have just read somewhere else in here where they a using Int2ext+ as well as Link2SD. One of the pitfalls of CronMod's (or was it Cronmon?) scripts is that it requires internal memory for the links - I forget the exact ratio, but my fingers want to type 100Mb for every 500Mb available on the SD card for the sd-ext partition. Link2SD will still work in this instance, because all it is doing is creating a link to sdcard, not to sd-ext.
Come to think of it, this post makes no sense Witt references - I'll dig up those refs and explain more fully in a bit.

I downloaded and tried to root my WFS with it.. but it did not work..!
It shows error while in the process of rooting!

Alternate EASY method!!
I've tested this and it works fine with CM9 as well. Plus this is a whole lot simpler and easier.

hey wana ask one think that is there any method to increase internal rom in gingerbird 2.3
plz do replyy
admin....

Still I cant see any increased internal memory
Hi Everyone...
I was using an HTC wildfire S A510e.But I was fed up of getting low internal memory warning..so I searched for some solution online,while I got your link from xda developers.
I just followed all the instruction given in your link and HTCdev.com and finally unlocked the bootloader.I also rooted the phone and installed clockwork recovery mod installed..I did take the backup of original rom using clockworkmod recovery backup option..
Then I followed the instruction on how to increase internal memory..while doing that I allocated 1024MB (my sd card 4GB) for partitioning..I completed all the process and also installed cyanogen 7.2 as I had downloaded from the link provided by you.
But to my surprise when I checked the internal memory it still shows 150mb..and after installing some apps it again shows low memory warning..
when I checked sd card it shows 2.73 GB total space,which means all most 1Gb has gone somewhere...
So can any one please suggest me what to do???n please let me know where this 1GB has gone without increasing the internal memory.??

SD-Card removed unexpectedly
I am using ''cm-10-20130103-4.2.1-NIGHTLY-marvel'' , partition the sd card using CWM recovery, and link2sd app, one day every thing was fine but now m getting error sd-card removed unexpectedly over and over again....

[HOW TO] Format SDcard and flash clean system

Boys and girl(s) ....
In this tutorial we'll learn HOW TO "format ALL" from recovery and flash clean and fresh new ROM
This is very easy job to do.
But as I received many PMs how to do this and (if you remember) that question was question number one on PAC thread - I decided to write this tutorial.
It's written for absolute beginners (I hate word noobs) and it's totally safe to do.
The most important thing is - do not rush, read twice and if you aren't sure in some step ASK
So let's go...
For this we'll need...
1) Computer
2) Working recovery
3) USB cable
4) Kernel with recovery and ability to mount USB from recovery (we'll need to copy few files from PC)
my advice - ICS kernel Advanced Stock Kernel or ELITE-Nozomi v2
5) New ROM and kernel you would like to flash
6) Few minutes
Before we begin to format our SDcard make sure you backed up all your files, pictures and other stuff you wanna keep.
Copy flashable kernel (see above - "what we'll need") to your device.
This procedure isn't dangerous but you are doing this on your own risk.
I will help you if you stuck somewhere but XDA or I won't be responsible if you damage your device!
Restart device, hold vol up to enter recovery
First off all we have to backup our ROM (if anything goes wrong)
Go to backup and restore and select backup.
While you're waiting, prepare new ROM and both kernels on your PC.
Now flash kernel

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Select Install zip from sdcard and find your kernel (Advanced Stock or ELITE kernel).
You are maybe wondering why I said ICS kernel...?
Because we have problems mounting USB from recovery in JB kernels (if you have one that work - great, use that one).
After you installed kernel, restart device to recovery.
be careful to restart to recovery, remember - now you have ICS kernel and JB ROM (I guess you use JB)
Mount SDcard
O.K, go to "mounts and storage" and select "mount USB storage"
If you see this screen
And "autostart" opened your device on your PC - that's good.
Open Xperia S folder on your PC, find folder clockworkmod - copy whole folder to your device.
If you have few backups you may open that folder (on PC) and delete folders with older dates -if you don't need that backup- copy that to test you have connection.
If copying went O.K you may proced
If not - find different kernel. (but if you flashed one of recommended you can't have any problems).
FORMAT ALL
Go to main screen (we are still in recovery) and select "mounts and storage" again.
And select, one by one
- format /system
- format /cache
- format /data
- format /sdcard
DO NOT RESTART DEVICE!!!
Don't restar device or you'll stuck without ROM and kernel and you'll have to use fastboot.
Now we'll use our ROM and KERNEL on PC.
Mount USB storage again.
Copy ROM and kernel from PC.
Unmount and...
Go to main recovery screen.
Select "install zip from SDcard.
Now we need our kernel (with recovery) which will be our new kernel. (you have already prepared new kernel, if you are 100% sure your new ROM has recovery in it you can skip this part and flash ROM right away - but be sure you have ROM which have kernel with recovery)
Find your kernel and flash it.
Restart device and go to recovery again.
Almost done - flashing new ROM
O.K...hardest part is behind us now...
Select "install zip from SDcard"
Find ROM you copied from your PC and flash it.
Restart and you are done.
If you are lazy, like me, restart to recovery and continue to read...
*** additional info ***
Remember, we saved and copied backup, we made, to our device.
Now we can use it to restore data.
Restart device to recovery.
Go to "backup and restore" and select "advanced restore".
Now select "restore data".
After restore is finished you can restart your device and boot android.
If you restored data from your backup you'll have all your apps and accounts already set up.
If not -settings wizard will start - just like when you boot your device right from the box
In both case you'll see your SDcard is empty and you have nothing but your ROM...
If you aren't sure in what you are doing - ASK and READ twice
If this tutorial helped you - hit tnx :thumbup:

One question. If we'll backup from old ROM data,wont it bring back all data,folders and and and.Even from uninstalled app's,old rom. All things from what I need clean my SD? Aren't they backed up too?

Yes and No.
If you restore your data you will get back some stuff but only apps and accounts details.
You won't get photos, pictures and your files.
Only apps and their stuff.
The best way is to do all from the scratch.
New ROM and installation of all apps you need again.
That's why I said additional info - only if you are lazy
For example, I have 5-6Gb of zips, png's and all kind of a craps, so I usually format all but restore data couse my ROM is clean. (I always have one backup - eXistanZ v2 absolutely clean, only with basic apps and all accounts already set... So when I need clean ROM but.with root browsers and apps I need I just restore this)

Is that for both LB and UB? Can I flash same kernel for LB?

artttur said:

Well....no.
You can't flash custom kernels on locked bootloader.
In case you have LB you have to find kernel for LB (stock) with recovery and ability to mount SDcard.
You'll have to search a bit and find out which kernel can do that.
I believe Advance Stock for ICS will do the job.
If you can't flash kernel, flash ROM with kernel and proced like you flashed only kernel, it's basically same thing only you'll have to wait longer for RIM to flash

One more doubt, since xperia S does not support SD cards means it only has an internal storage of 32GB is formatting the SD card a good idea..?? Since all the data will b lost even the zip in which Existenz ROm is present...?

One more doubt, since xperia S does not support SD cards means it only has an internal storage of 32GB is formatting the SD card a good idea..?? Since all the data will b lost even the zip in which Existenz ROm is present...?
Sorry for the long post...plz do reply...

Please read OP again.
That's the purpose of this thread...
To format SDcard!
That's why I said : prepare files (ROM) on your PC and check "mount" - basically, check could you be able to copy ROM from PC to device once you format all your data.
This thread is written for you to know how to format all and start from a scratch, so it's kinda silly question when you said "is a format of sdcard good idea"!?!

Read OP mate, read OP!
Flash different kernel which has ability to mount USB.
That's why I said -- find kernel and first test mounting...

I would gladly help mate but I really don't follow what's happening in XS forum.
Try to ask on few kernel threads and I'm sure developers or one of users will help you.
Just ask is there recovery able to mount sdcard in that boot.img and you'll find suitable kernel.
It doesn't even have to be for your ROM, you just need it to format card and flash suitable kernel.
For example, you can use ICS kernel but make sure you don't try to boot flashed ROM before you flashed new kernel, kernel for your ROM.

Hey @artttur
Did you also Format your Xperia S SD Card with a Locked Bootloader?
If yes, For the flashable kernel with recovery(in Step 4),Did you use the ics kernel which you have pasted in the above post?
Also, for Step 5, I read that we can directly flash the ROM which installs Kernel with recovery in it...How did you do?
Do you know of any such ROM?
Sorry, I asked for help in xperia s Development threads, I didnt get any reply!!
Thanks...

Sorry, I didn't noticed,that You are on LB. And no i haven't try it on my device with LB , becouse of kernel. On LB You can't flash any custom kernel.
And if You can/know how to use flashtool ,You can try to flash this => http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...-jb-xperia-z2-style-rom-t2806247/post54271759 amazing ROM. Or do it as it is mentioned in this post.

How to format internal sd card in fat32?
Hi guys,
I'm having some problems with my girlfriend's Sony xperia S.
I'm tryn' to install a custom rom, so I unblock the device, rooted and installed cwm recovery v6.0.3.0.
All works fine until I try to "install zip from sdcard", cause when I select "choose zip from sdcard", it returns an error "E:Can't mount /sdcard/".
By a long search on google I found that some old cwm can't read sdcard formatted in ntfs and they need a fat32 one.
The probelm is that I really don't know how can i format an internal sd card. Windows did not see it as a storage like other disks, partition wizard also can't see the disk and of course from cwm I can't do anything on sdcard cause it can't access it. Can some one help me? I spent the whole day looking for a solution.
Thanks

great thanks

Don't do that....
Is it possible that you can't write constructive post to achieve ten posts?
This is not the way...
You are spamming the thread and lifting old thread to top pushing new and important threads down...
