Hello gents/ladies, I recently decided to change things up a bit, and flashed from CM 7.0.3 to Darkside Sense v3.0.0. As part of installing the new ROM, the file system was changed from Ext3 to Ext4. I have decided to go back to CM7, this Sense 3.5 Rom is just to buggy and laggy for me.
My question is, not knowing a whole lot about the difference in the two file systems, do I need to convert back to an Ext3 filesystem to run CM7, and if so, how do I safely go about doing this? I have searched around the forums, but have not found a definitive guide on how to do this, if it is necessary.
Thanks in advance for helping a n00b out

i'm pretty sure CM7 has an ext4 filesystem...

That's definitely what I'm trying to figure out, still searching.
Note: More searching reveals that Gingerbread ROM's use an Ext4 filesystem? If this is the case, then originally installing CM7 on my phone would have already been an Ext4 filesystem?? If so, I don't know why I was thinking it was converted by installing the Sense 3.5 ROM.

Hey guys,
Since I've still experience a problem with bluetooth with cyanogen roms,
I thought maybe I can replace the kernel which comes with CM 6.1/CM7
with the stock froyo kerenl or even eclair kernel - I 100% know that there is no bt problems for me with these kernels....
But if I do it, will CM work ok? Am I still be able to use data2ext to move apps to sd card?
Appreciate any help.
It might do. Be careful, backup. Bluetooth seems to work fine in later builds though

Thnaks TGF, but is your data2ext script also supported for stock kernel?
An why you say that ext4 version is safer than ext2 version?
How safer?

As long as the ROM runs scripts from /system/etc/init.d the will at least run. Ext4 won't corrupt all your data if you do a battery pull

your question is difficult to answer, as only you can chose which ones you'll like
best. there are loads here, i suggest you start reading.
for partitioning
this is the best one i use, its in the wiki
Personally i prefer gingerbread with cm7. All apps and games are working for me. Everything is just great. But its imo simple and minimalistic. But very cool.
There are some other builds like htc sense+gb and miui+gb hybrids out there, but for me not all games like asphalt and apps like swipepad are working. Sense brings nice widgets, a great ui and miui a very great, completly different and very customizable ui with it.
If there are problems with some apps or games with miui like for me, you could test the froyo based build. sense and miui.
Atm im using typhoons cm7 and im very satisfied. Another very great gb cm7 rom is pongsters. Im only using typhoons because its based on daily nightlies. Im sure you will like pongsters ;p or the other great roms out there. Like imilka, boyppc, ndt and so on they are all very great cookers and ive tested all of them.
Best thing is to test a few different roms and decide by yourself whats best for you.
All of those roms are installd by cwm (clockwork mod)
You can do flash your rom, format and partition your sd and lots of more things with it. All over the phone. For best you are reading the install instructions of each rom. The only thing you have to do over pc is to flash recovery layout which is used by your choosn rom amd copy your. zip rom file on sd. Copy files and mount your usb storage with clockwork recovery only. Magldr itselfs could damaging some files.
To partition your 8gb sdcard there is absolutly no pc needed. You have to load into ad recovery (clockwork mod) over magldr, choose advance and format or partition your sdcard. If i remenbering right. Choose 1gb ext partituon and 0mb swap partition and you are rdy to go (install your rom). Remember to do a backup of your files stored on sd.
Best tool to format and partitioning your sdcard is still gparted. But pls, dont format the wrong harddrives ;p
Might other members have some links for you. Im on mobile

Its not the best. Its one of the best. He should try some roms and like everyone did see what he likes by himself.
And i would prefer pongsters hyperdroid gbx with cyanogenmod 7 (CM7) or typhoons CM7. Both very great roms. Typhoons is updated frequently.
Different roms for different tastes.

Hello all.
I am using DL_DesireZ v3.x at the moment, whis is Froyo with Sense 2.0.
According to the instructions I've partitioned my SD card to 3 partitions, one 6.5GB FAT32, one 1GB ext4 and another 512M ext4.
So far, this has been the stablest and fastest non-nand ROM for me (I can't get rid of WM because I need to use iGO and Garmin from it) but I'd like to get some of the updates and functionalities that came with Gingerbread, and since I do like Sense, I want it as well.
So, can somebody tell me is there any GB+Sense3 build for HD2 that is SD based and which can use ext3/4 partitions for data2sd or whatever it is called exactly?
Thanks.

Weeel, that was a revelation of sorts...
Anyhow, after checking all of those builds, two things are clear:
- most of them are not for SD
- Sense 3 builds are far from stable & working
What do I mean?
It seems than NAND frenzy has taken strongly among HD2 owners for whatever reason they want to get rid of WM6.5, so most of the builds are stated as NAND.
There are some that are marked as ROM-ZIP...what are those?
On the other hand, I know that there are roms that are to be used with MAGLDR and some (if not all) can be used as a normal SD build, with haret, data.img and so on.
One example is the one I'm using right now, DL Desire, which comes as a NAND version and as a SD/MAGLDR version.
So how can I tell if a certain MAGLDR rom is usable as a SD build as well? Is it possible at all, as a general rule, if an author of a build does not explicitelly state so?
The second thing is more problematic, and is obviously kernel and hardware related.
Sense3 builds have graphic/camera problems (mutually) and also problems with some widgets (weather), boot menu, lock screen etc.
I've tried MccMBoxmaX GS V5.0 and was really surprised to see it work pretty good and fast (albeit with no apps installed) disregarding mentioned problems with graphics etc.
Since there is no build yet that has all the things fixed, I believe I should try an older ones with the latest Sense version before Sense3.
But which one is it? 2.1? And do they come in combination with Gingerbread as a base and what builds have that combination, also for SD and possibly using ext2/3/4 partitions?
I hope I'm not boring, but I've tried a bunch of different roms for SD with and without partitions support and now they are getting more and more rare and the whole "list of builds" has become so long and confusing that I just don't know which ones support what and which ones are for what...
Hi,
What you will have noticed,is that sd is not that well supported.
If you need to keep WM,then you are going to struggle to find very much.
Have you tried the American droid for sd?
A lot of people rave about it...
Try This rom
but it need ext on sd
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038694
It's fast and stable till now for me
have you looked in the sd development section?
Hah!
It came out of the blue....just a few days ago I downloaded V5 where I saw all those mentioned Sense3 problems and there's V6 already...
Gotta get it today...
Oh yes, BTW I'm following SD devel thread constantly so I know what's going on there...and I still need helping info...

Oh yes, I forgot, I'm talking about MccM BoxMax V6 that Dr.Hisham mentioned...
Working pretty well, although some problems have been discovered like BT not working, graphics glitches etc...although, it is pretty snappy even though it is Sense3 (2.1 actually).
But, it seems it will take some time to fix everything and so I'm opting for the following: SD build with ext partitions for data2sd, with Gingerbread and last version of Sense before 2.1 (2.0.x?) - anybody knows anything about those?
Guys, anybody with anything?
SDcard Gingerbread builds with pre-2.1/3 Sense for HD2?
I need a simple upgrade from the original HD2 Android 2.2 to a stable 2.3.x version.
Can anyone suggest one? (This is not a "which is the best ROM" request.)
I just want one that is the simplest and working out of the box to flash from the original MGLDR 2.2 Android on a TMOUS HD2. I'm flashing for an older friend for whom I installed the original some time ago, and he asked me to help him get Gingerbread, and I'm a little 'out of the loop' on the HD2 Android developments and particulars, so a simple flash is best. Is there a simple CWM flashable version for TMOUS that doesn't need to manually mess with partition prep, etc.?
Stability is more important than bleeding edge in this case, so any 2.3.x build is fine.
Thanks for any suggestions you might have.

If you're looking for a sense rom, I'd suggest going with one of the dhd roms (You'll have to use usb flasher to get the partition on), otherwise the simplest would be either:
This -> NexusHD2
This -> Typhoon CM7
or This -> HyperDroid CM7
These three roms need less system space than sense roms, so if you don't mind having a lot of empty space in your system partition, all you need to do is flash the zip using cwr.
My personal recommendation is the Typhoon Rom (2nd rom), it's very stable and up to date. Also, you can use either Titanium Backup/MyBackup apps to backup the phone's current apps.
I would recommend HyperDroidCM7v3.1. It's android 2.3.5 for both cwm and magldr. When I found it I stopped searching, and I am never gonna try anything else! (well, maybe. But you know what I mean hehe )

Hello,
I've tried a few roms on my LG GT540: lately "CyanogenMod 6: mikegapinski", "Project Utopia: miroslav_mm" and "SwiftDroid's Little Brother: mur4ik".
All of them have some issues: in some the SD card doesn't work, in others doesn't work the camera and yet in others doesn't work the WiFi.
What are the most stable 2.1 or 2.2 ROMs (2.3 takes too much battery..) where everything works?
Is it possible to have fastboot with the 2.1 stock ROM? If it's possible I think I'd go back to that one...

maybe you can try to wipe the SD-Card and repartition it. You can create a sd-ext and swap-partition.
since i did that i never had any problems in any rom (8 GB )

I already changed the partitions of my SD card (the 2GB stock one) some time ago, shrinking the FAT partition and adding a little ext2 partition at the end of the disk.
Some ROMs can see it (usually the older ones), while others can't (the most recent ones).
As soon as I get some spare time I'll try to destroy and recreate the partition table and then to flash some other 2.2 ROM...
Thanks for the suggestions!
I was anxious to try Utopia again.
Repartitioned the SD card again (this time erasing and recreating all the partitions, instead of resizing them) and everything is working!
Hope this Utopia will last long without problems!
