i had cm7 and used to install all my apps on sd with "S2e".

Now i flashed superdroid, fixed the superuser forceclose and s2e doesn't reconise partition anymore?

Can anyone confirm working "s2e" or ap2s ( i mean use no internal memory at all).

thanks

Hi and thanks for the rom.
Just want to confirm that It's working with S-ON + HTC dev unlocked + rooted phone, So, I figure that the S-OFF only is no longer necessary?

Guys, I just found that App2SD only works with this ROM if your partition is EXT2. EXT3 will not auto-mount.

Make sure your have the SD partitioned (2GB card --> 1138MB Fat32 Primary, 512MB EXT2 primary, 256MB Linux Swap primary). You can do this with the free partition wizard at http://www.partitionwizard.com/ . Instructions in the Youtube below. Note that everything on the SD will be removed, so be sure to backup on some HDD. The 512MB is for the Apps; the 1138MB is for your and Android's files.


To enable a2sd after having flashed the ROM, go to market & download terminal emulator and run it.

Once in the terminal emulator type:
su
a2sd check
a2sd reinstall
Phone will reboot once.
After reboot, go back into the terminal app and type:
su
a2sd check
a2sd zipalign
a2sd cachesd
Phone will reboot again.

Now update and install as many apps as you want. Your phone will have around 120 MB of free space; always. All apps are on the SD...

    android version 2.3.3 (build 1.18.401.1)
    Kernel 2.6.35.10

    This ROM is designed to be a slightly stripped down ROM with a few basic tweaks just to get the ball rolling
    I intend this list of mods to improve as we learn more about the cha cha's capabilities

    FOR S-OFF USERS ONLY

    clockworkmod recovery
    busybox 1.19
    superuser 2.3.6.1
    a2sd (needs sd partition)
    EXT2 auto-mount
    Nano text editor and sysro/sysrw
    Bash shell support
    zipaligned
    ES File manager
    DSP Manager
    Ad free
    Silent boot animation
    task killer tweak for extra speed
    Screen timeout set to 30 seconds instead of 45

    Removed apps:
    Google books
    HTC Tips widget
    Pro tips
    Stocks widget
    Tell HTC
    Trends widget
    HTC twitter
    Flickr
    Sound recorder
    HTC photo widget

    With nothing else installed you get 57MB free storage



    Things I intend to be able to eventually include are more complicated kernel mods like over/underclocking, some theming mods and more memory optimizations

    Installation instructions:

    1. copy superdroid_1.0_signed.zip to the root of your SD card
    2. make sure fastboot is turned off
    3. reboot into the recovery menu
    4. set a partition on the sdcard in the advanced settings for the a2sd
    5. I advise wiping both the cache and dalvik cache as well otherwise you'll probably get bootloop issues
    5. select choose .zip and pick the superdroid_1.0_signed.zip
    6. once installed then reboot and give it time to turn on for the first time (up to 5 minutes)
    7. enjoy :)

    If you have any problems with superuser forceclosing use this method osahiro found to fix the issue. It seems to be common with the 1.18 update


    1. Delete Superuser's update and clear data.

    2. Reinstall superuser from the market.

    3. Enable 'Auto-rotate screen' on the Display settings.

    4. Change the screen to the portrait mode.

    5. Run Superuser and allow permission to update its own.

    6. Restart the handset

    1. How do you add a ext partition to the sd card

    All you need to do is use CMW and partition it in the advanced options. There is also an in depth tutoral here for using ADB http://androinica.com/2009/09/how-to-create-a-2nd-partition-to-install-android-apps-on-an-sd-card/

    Any recommended size for ext partition and swap partition ?

    I have 256mb for my ext and 32mb for my linux-swap. Its really important that you get the linux swap in and do it before flashing the rom though. Doesnt matter how big your ext is though. Just as much as you want.

    can i install this theme to stock rom (no s-off)?
    also if i partition my sd based on the instructions here http://androinica.com/2009/09/how-to-create-a-2nd-partition-to-install-android-apps-on-an-sd-card/ and use stock rom (no s-off) will i be able install the apps in sd ext3 partition?

    unfortuantely you need s-off for this kind of theme. It needs to be installed with clockwork recovery before the filesystem is mounted but keep an eye here as HTC are going to be unlocking it at some point for us. I wouldnt buy an XTC clip yet
