[Q] Best a2sd method and script?

---

I know I probably seems like a noob because I have like 1 post but I just havent got arpund to posting until now... Anyway

I have an HTC Desire running cm7 and I was wondering what the best method of obtaining more internal memory is? I have an 8gb sd card with 500mb set as sd-ext, but I dont know how to fully use it can anyone elaborate on the use of these scripts?

I havent seen any really upto date posts on this so I thought I would ask, theres bound to be a thresd somewhere but you know...

in my opinion is #Typhon Data2SDInstaller for Supernova Classic 2.0+ (Version 4.0)

don't know whether that method works on cm7

a couple of things that i know of:

1. S-OFF (search revolutionary) and change partition table to something like cm7r2, check alpharev. your internal memory goes up from stock (only 147MB) to 287MB.

2. flash an A2SD script such as Darktremor to make the most of your ext partition. it won't appear as extra internal memory, just tricks apps to move them there. keep all your apps on internal though i.e. don't manually move them to SD.

3. a different option, separate from A2SD is a data2sd script, don't know much about these, but have a look if they interest you. they extend the internal memory (adding your actual internal + ext)

and nandroid backup before trying any of this.

should have plenty of space after that!

I would combine 1 and 2.

Yes, but as title suggests, it's designed to work only with Supernova. If you want a generic data2sd installer, visit Sibere's data2sd thread.

...and enlarge your sd-ext probably to 1GB

I wouldn't recommend data2sd on 500MB, pretty pointless. If you're going to do it, do it properly

i have S-OFF already and ill look at the partition tables thing too see if that would help thanks, i tried simple2ext or something like that and i had to restore my nandroid is it functioned horribly so ill also look at darktremor

EDIT:
Ill extend it to 1gb then if you think its needed i have like 4gb free on my sd and i could get a 16gb if i could be bothered...

It certainly seems a waste of the script, lol.

Anyone willing to talk me through flashing the hboot from alpharev? ive done things along these lines before and i have half-bricked my phone before so any helpers?
