Many thanks also to o$$!ram for the source!


Partition Required: FAT32 followed by one ext2/ext3/ext4 partition (ext2/3 if present will be converted)
Base Software:
Version: 1.0.0.3


The main feature of this HTC Sense 2.1 Rom is the stable Data2SD that is built in

In case you didnt already know, the Desire's Internal memory is severely limited (A maximum of 147 MB. Within no time, you will be asked to remove your favoite apps to clear space. Earlier implementations like A2SD, App2SD+ are all imperfect, and everything will never be moved. Even MTD partitions are limited.

With Data2SD, you decide the amount of Internal memory you want!
As a side effect, you get faster I/O too, since Sd is faster than Nand. the real world performance depends on the Class of your card. The faster the better!

This rom is based on Sibere’s Data2sd scripts, which with the latest ext4 based script, is arguably one of the best of the lot. Other than this, the Rom has been kept stock-like. It is for those who want the HTC Sense Rom, but are tired of the low disk space warnings thrown at them!

Contrary to prior Data2SD scripts which were infamous for their boot loops and force closes, this latest script has been rigorously tested and developed into a stable product by Sibere. To date, I havent had a single force close or boot loop yet on this Data2SD configuration

I know there are a lot of Stock rooted roms out there, but this one supports Data2Sd best, mostly because it’s been built for the sole purpose of giving a problem free Data2sd experience.

Visit the MiniSite for Installation Instructions, and Download Links:







Concise Instructions:

Installation

1. If you had changed your Hboot from Stock to any other type, you will need to reset it to Stock Hboot by following instructions on the Alpharev site
2. Wipe data/Factory reset from Recovery (CWM/Ra)
3. Partition your card into 2 partitions (only two) with Gparted (The performance may be compromised with other partitioning schema)
   1. The First should be Fat32
   2. The Second should be ext4 (can also be ext2/3 but will be converted to ext4). The maximum limit for size of ext4 is 2Gb.
4. Install the Rom zip
5. Boot once.
6. At this boot, do NOT enter your Google account details. Also do not install any app, or restore any app.
7. Once system stabilizes, hit the Power button to reboot to recovery
8. Now install the Data2SD installer and reboot from recovery
9. This boot will be very long, and the system will also take a long time to show the desktop

Re-Installation (Reflashing the Rom)
Note that reflashing the Rom alone overwrites the Data2SD script, so whenever you flash the Rom (for any reason like theme revertion etc), do not forget to flash the Data2sd reinstaller (not Installer) immediately after Rom flash without a reboot in between (Note the difference betweem installation and reinstallation!)


Check your SD storage at this point. You should have vastly enhanced storage which equals your ext4 size
