Haven't, I researching till end so that I won't be stuck in the progress...can u check my following instruction?

I'm going to InsertCoin 1.1.3 A2SD+ version, as it don't required S-OFF(too advance for me cry.gif )
1) Root, via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788044
2) Unlock bootloader via http://revolutionary.io/ (I do this cause it is required as stated in http://docs.insertcoin-roms.org/master/en-US/installation/, but, is this step considered S-OFF?)
3) check this downloaded zip file(http://www.multiupload.com/H1MUCCQB0W) by using md3sum (download at http://etree.org/md5com.html)
4) then follow "How do I flash InsertCoin ROM?" at http://docs.insertcoin-roms.org/master/en-US/installation/

The InsertCoin ROM requirement is:
A2SD+ STOCK HBOOT - stock hboot - the one with 250 mB for /system
- 1 gB ext2/3/4 partition
I don't understand what is "1 gB ext2/3/4 partition",
is it I need to make 3 partition on my SD card? which is ext2(1GB), ext3(1GB) and ext4(1GB)?
using this instruction(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7279872&postcount=3), Gparted method?


Added on September 28, 2011, 9:56 pmya,I'm still on Official Froyo 2.2, will root my phone soon via unrevoked method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788044)
*
wa bro, started to play custom rom ya?? hmmm i didnt S-off mine, if u wish to root insertcoin with custom hboot, s-off is a good idea.. be sure u know what u are doing.. im on my MIUI right now.. thinking which sense rom to flash.. XD

wao,thanks,you gave me a very useful link rclxms.gif
but bro,1 question...as I looking for InsertCoint A2SD+ version,it don't required S-OFF...
is it can can direct flash with the ROM after root my phone?
but it is also required 1GB extended partition, don't partition a SD card must required S-OFF? icon_question.gif
*
with A2SD+ version, there is no S-OFF required and i don't see the point if u try to S-OFF. Anyway, no harm doing S-OFF, with S-OFF u may flash custom hboot which may be useful for ur next custom rom. Partitioning SD card doesnt required S-OFF, i do it using Amon RA 2.0.0, the clockmod recovery shd be able to do that, correct me if im wrong

I'm too noob...just finish exam,research for many days dy, still not really understand with it. just follow instruction lo... rclxub.gif
I'm looking for flash the ROM without S-OFF it, but still blur with the requirement...
*
Er i can recommend a rom with D2SD, without need to touch the S-off thingy, then u can use EXT4 as ur internal memory. downside is u must sacrify ur SD card space and need a good class SD card, at least class 4 above

1GB means make 1 external partition using ext 2/3 or 4 partition.. ext 2/3/4 are Linux Partition types, similar to like NTFS/FAT32 for Windows (that kind of stuff)

and no, 1 partition is enough but doing so will wipe your sd storage so backup on Desktop/Laptop/Notebook/Whatever.

No need gparted (they should really get rid of that shit), use a decent recovery and it's all good.

Look for 4Ext

and since you mentioned you don't want to S-OFF (too complicated for you??), skip revolutionary step.

Just root (use custom recovery - Look for 4EXT or CWM 3.0.0.5 [4ext is promisingly good - imo])
You can do most of the things on Recovery already. (like Phone wiping before Flash....Flash...make microsd partitions..)
of course can't S-OFF with Recovery though.  whistling.gif but you will find Recovery useful once you will be flashing a fair bit to find a suitable ROM for your needs.  cool.gif

I think you should be alright.
Take note of the MISC: error after-flash though (Incase it happens which it tends to, sometimes - not to me but on 3rd root kena dunno caused by what...flash record too long, a lot of fastboot command-ing so...)
^ Anyway if you look around in xda (Dev Sec) SHOULD have a solution.

Happy Flashing. (And don't worry about bricking- it won't happen unless when it's putting fake-flash into your phone, suddenly power KO and you got no UPS/using laptop battery then GG.

Bro ShinnKQ, darowen is still new in flashing stuff.. lol.. previously i asked him to root his phone he dun wan listen, i can even do for him at that time. now he gotta start from scratch.. tongue.gif

Woosh, rich  drool.gif It looks nice but I don't really believe in the improvements in terms of Audio, teaming up with Beats though.

Oo I see.  rclxms.gif
Our phone arh, if you don't root very hard to survive one.

The feeling of being restrained is very obvious...Lack of memory space lah....Junk softwares which you can't remove lah...

rooting guts haha.. Just think of the benefits mate, always think about the benefits... wink.gif  flex.gif

Due to our phone's hardware-software limitations by default, I strongly suggest rooting. The advantage is  thumbup.gif good.

Of course, if someone gets a phone like Nexus...just get a good Launcher (Go Launcher/ADW) is good enough and no rooting is required (as it will have 1GB for you to use - or possibly more idk, but eitherway, beats 130mb no?)

so..yeah... icon_rolleyes.gif Won't regret.

im aiming at htc ruby (amaze), spec make my saliva drop drool.gif drool.gif drool.gif
agreed that rooting bring more benefit than stock rom.. now on MIUI, doesnt really like it very much. AOSD is not my type, sense is always my favourite. I m on D2SD rom, however, it lags over time.. shit

First, I can tell you Sense roms are laggy like f*!$ so.

try this Sense 3.5 rom

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1250815
uh nice to use? well, I used to flash like foox almost 2-3 roms a month at least (serious).

Problem with CWM, you can't choose EXT type, default is 3. Back then, we had some roms which strictly pointed out 4 (was those stupid makers-now Pro de) like the D2SD/Watever or sth like that...HD roms iirc.

Then now all support 2/3/4 so not important but still.

RA can do that but there's something wrong with it's Wipe. Doesn't wipe properly, experience bootloops when changing ROMs, switch back to CWM and re-wipe+flash..no problem.

4EXT is way better, with more options but it has it's own bug (which I avoid using since they already pointed it out) and it doesnt really affect us. smile.gif

You don't like AOSP roms eh? the looks or sth?

I really hate 3.0 Sense though. BECAUSE it's so F***ing laggy, it's damn hard to move the ring to answer call...make me damn dulan -.-

so yeah...

but now I using stable Leedroid 2.5 froyo (one of THE most stable ROM I ever used after root)..

I pretty much flashed almost all kinds of rom de...except the....Chinese guy something forgot his name ihlades I think, only used 1 of this roms, claim to be faster than <insert> but tried can barely see the difference. After that just ignore his roms. Never tried MIUI XJ too.. Not a great fan of MIUI but their OTB (out of the box) setting options are superb and Theme changing is great. (at least I feel that's what MIUI is great)

Other than that...I can't really recommend much la. Oxygen...CM 7 latest beta (tricky b@$tards sometimes come out cool stuff but never say much, 1 liner builds...)....then the baadnewz lazy follow him liao since he go merge 3.0 (refer previous problem) then I quit, tried HD roms, ok ok lah. feels the same But I really really LIKE the USB internet to phone (Reverse WiFi Tethering)...Really liked it.

Nvm forget what I said tongue.gif If the audio improvement is in the speakers I'd ROFL.

I wish to try LeeDroid, never use it before. Before that was on Supernova with D2SD. Lag like shit after few months. Now I'm on MIUI-XJ, quite many FC. I'm switching back to sense rom soon. AOSP is not my cup of tea, perhaps i dun like stock thingy.. tongue.gif
Once upon a time i like to flash as well.. always try new thing. But, recently damn busy until not even feel wan to flash it. sigh

Sensation XE is gimmicky IMO, lol. Especially Beats brand which is the most loathed brand among audiophiles, due to their over priced products. However having a audio brand products integrated into a phone is still better than nothing.
What? HTC Ruby isn't worth drooling for, maybe take a look at HTC Vigor instead. Even then I'd still wait till HTC comes out with a phone that has Qualcomm Krait core running in it, which won't be long considering how often HTC is coming out with new phones.
*
Planning to get a dual core phone next year, i just look at vigor, specs wise is damn good.. another choice biggrin.gif
i wont get the sensation XE although it "sounds" not bad. haha, not worth it... i need a hp with 4.3", at least dual core, with 1gb ram and above

ShinnKQ, my fren recommend this MIUI-AU to me also. hvn try to use it.

Nexus but you will lose* your Sense-ness though. Unless you really want Sense then bear-hug HTC until they come out their flagship wink.gif

I feel Nexus is still the best. Not sure why..
Then try to use it smile.gif

HTC Sense spoiled me.. sigh, i wan try the new nexus when available. To me SGS2 is totally out.. build quality is so bad

if not mistaken the rooting guide is posted in the first page. so far, desire is still the best phone to flash different firmware. i hardly do that on my note, cause that is my primary phone. for desire, i've tried stock 2.3, miui, cm9, and now cm10
