Lots of issues caused by the users not creating EXT partition. But yours seems to be fine (I'm on that 512MB, 0 setting but don't think it makes a difference)

Also, try not to choose full system restore in Titanium, restore only the green system items.... I don't know why it happens to you seriously, I'm not having that issue sad.gif
*
i dun not even restore all the green items relates to system. My restore from Titanium has so far dun have any issue on NextSense 5.3 and 7.0, especially for program like NoteEverything, SplashID, etc which are not system related at all. But this latest flash to 7.1 for these programs all caused a reboot automatically. rclxub.gif

Nevermind, just finish reflash, rebooting now, hopefully all ok. sweat.gif Now quite familiar with the flashing steps already, no need to refer to the guide step by step already. tongue.gif

Thanks, i reflashed 7.1 and the steps was exactly the same as above, but I manage to get 135MB only on internal memory during 1st boot. On A2SD+, I partitioned ext3 to 1024MB but it shows 774MB only. (Using Quick System Info)
*
ok, for the the first flashing of 7.1, i can't install quick system info, the phone will reboot automatically. After the reflash 2nd time, all things seems ok now. I installed quick system info and check, my 1GB ext3 is also about 770++MB free. I think maybe it is normal coz some system file should be installed inside.

Cynox, is it once we have the Amon Ra thingy, when we want to flash new rom, i just need to use the "Wipe" selection(on your Stage 2) then it will Wipe Factory reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik ??
Or normally u'll wipe the 3 thing in the recovery mode ? without using the "Wipe" selection ?
*
Under the Wipe function, it has further submenu which is:
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe Dalvik-cache
Wipe SD:ext partition
Wipe battery status
Wipe rotation status

Normally before flashing rom, I will do the first 4 wipe one by one. smile.gif

I tried formatting my SD again yesterday which has an EXT partition. Apparently, i made a mistake last time saying you can just format like that smile.gif You cant format and remove the EXT partition.

Tried to follow the way recommended before but apparently, it won't work. You cant just go into Disk Management and remove volume, as there is only 1 volume (If you plug in directly via USB cable). You need to remove your memory card, plug in via card reader, and only then the EXT3 partition will be visible as Unallocated Partition. However, for some reason i could not remove that volume. All i did was to connect it into a Linux machine, and format it. It is still showing 6.9GB after that (from a 8gb card), and only when i plug back into my phone and format the SD from the phone, it shows back 7.5GB with no EXT partition.

Anyone have any easier way to do that?
*
Use the Amon_RA recovery menu to partition it. I find it will be the easiest way if you do not have a linux computer.

The Disk Management method I posted is for Bryan only as he partition the sd card with the Setting>>SD & phone storage (not in recovery mode) which I believe will only make FAT32 partitiona, not linux ext2/3/4 partitions. So putting it inside a card reader plug into a windows computer will see the FAT32 partition for sure.

I was trying to do that via an unrooted way smile.gif I have an unrooted Desire, with a SD card that have EXT3 partition. So, i couldn't do it via AmonRa.
*
then how did you create the ext3 at the first place? With a linux computer? hmm.gif And why would you want to do that as unrooted Desire won't be able to use A2SD+ which utilises the ext3, iirc.

human nature.... laugh.gif

when I first got my Treo 600 few years ago, I am so excited even before I received it on hand (i got thru Spore forum and need to wait for 1 week to deal COD) becoz I was using a palm device without phone function for some time and I need to carry 2 devices PDA and phone. Treo 600 was the first smartphone I used. Then I upgraded to Treo 680 which its screen resolution is far more better than Treo 600. I was quite excited for some time too. But like you, as times go by, I only use the smartphone more like a normal phone.

For me, HTC Desire is a huge leap from Treo 680 for hardware and software, especially after rooting and flashing custom rom. I think the excitement will wear out fast for Desire too. But having a smartphone with some interesting games will sure making your waiting time at the airport lounge more enjoyable or any other occasion when you have nothing better to do, especially one with wi-fi like Desire. thumbup.gif

I've owned a few brands of PDA but once started using HTC, I've sticked with it.
I also remembered how excited I was when using GPS for the 1st time couple of years back.
From WM6.5 to Android is a huge leap. WM6.5 was so damn slow and lagging no matter what ROM you put in.
The excitement surely will wear off. I was a Legend owner 4months back but on seeing Desire I was tempted to sell Legend and get Desire.
When I finally got my Desire, the first thought, 'How long will this last me???' I hope at least 2 years this time!

Yupe, Android games are really a boredom killer! I play it even in the plane to let time fly without me noticing it

try playing asphalt...it is now so much smoother
before upgrade i noticed lags when playing the game
*
I think Desire will last us quite some time. But most likely I will pass it to my wife when the next 4.3" HTC Evo-specs Android device with HDMI output is out. laugh.gif

yes, I play few round of Asphalt after I rooted and flashed to NextSense, it feels so much smoother.

Luckily the official foryo update was rumoured to be end of September which make me lose my patience and gone the dark side. Else, I will never discover the wonders of A2SD+. wink.gif

welcome to the dark side!! you have make a smart move. laugh.gif

I recommend AuraxTSense, latest version is 7.2. It is the only ROM i ever tried, so no comparison opinion from me. It has SenseUI, solid stable and fast. Try this first!! thumbup.gif

Stage 2: Partition you SD Card
1. Enter into Recovery mode. You will see the options below:
- Reboot system Now
- USB-MS toggle
- Backup/restore
- Flash
- Wipe
- Mount
- Partition sdcard
- Other
- Power off
2. Under Partition sdcard, you will see:
- Partition SD
- Repair SD:ext
- SD: ext2 to ext3
- SD: ext3 to ext4
3. Use Partition SD to make the ext2, swap, and the remainder will be auto partitioned to be FAT32.
4. press back to return to step 2, select SD:ext2 to ext3 to upgrade the ext2 you created in step 3 into ext3. Do SD:ext3 to ext4 if you want to upgrade further to ext4. But I only upgrade to ext3 only coz i read somewhere ext4 is not necessary.
5. Reboot system now, it will boot with all the partitions now.

Note: If you want to flash rom, you can use the Wipe function to wipe all ext3 partition, cache, etc clean, but the partition remain intact.


Under step 2 use the partition SD function to do partition, it will make new partitions - swap, ext2, and remaining FAT32 in sequence. (Use the optical trackball to change the size of the partitions.) thereafter do the SD:ext2 to ext3 to upgrade the ext. smile.gif

No need to remove your old partition, it will be replaced automatically by the new partitions.

i think it is a manufacturing defect. Some users in Spore experience the same problem and went for RMA with HTC.

-Flash new radio
-Run rom (First time takes some time to run)

Stage 1: Get Amon_RA into the Desire
1. Download Unrevoked.  [Link]
2. Download Amon_RA  [Link]
3. Install HTC and HBOOT driver.
4. Run reflash.exe as Administrator (DO NOT connect your Desire to computer at the moment).
5. At Unrevoked, File>>Custom Recovery>>Choose recovery-RA-desire-v1.7.0.1-R5 (the Amon_RA file you download in step 2).
6. Connect your Desire (USB debug mode on, etc).
7, The rest is fully automatic.  laugh.gif

Stage 2: Partition you SD Card
1. Enter into Recovery mode.  You will see the options below:
    - Reboot system Now
    - USB-MS toggle
    - Backup/restore
    - Flash
    - Wipe
    - Mount
    - Partition sdcard
    - Other
    - Power off
2. Under Partition sdcard, you will see:
      - Partition SD
      - Repair SD:ext
      - SD: ext2 to ext3
      - SD: ext3 to ext4
3. Use Partition SD to make the ext2, swap, and the remainder will be auto partitioned to be FAT32.
4. press back to return to step 2, select SD:ext2 to ext3 to upgrade the ext2 you created in step 3 into ext3.  Do SD:ext3 to ext4 if you want to upgrade further to ext4.  But I only upgrade to ext3 only coz i read somewhere ext4 is not necessary.
5. Reboot system now, it will boot with all the partitions now.

Note:  If you want to flash rom, you can use the Wipe function to wipe all ext3 partition, cache, etc clean, but the partition remain intact.

Hope this mini guide helps. For more details, should refer to this master guide.
I posted this some pages back. smile.gif Turn off your phone. Then press Vol Down and Power button together, then it will boot into Recovery mode.
