What can I do with GB Stock ROM??

[[email protected]|-|oR]

My Desire belongs to my significant other since I bought One X
She is not a demanding user. She browses, reads local news, listens some music, plays some games, uses various messanging softwares.
Battery is important to her.
Eventually, internal memory ran out, so she wants me to help her.
I S-OFFed her phone few days a go (using revolutionary), installed custom recovery (CWM), and rooted it.
I also have read a lot in this forum (because it is rather silent in One X forum these days ), including how to partition SD card and how to set up EXT4 partition (I guess I will use EXT4 recovery for it, although I have downloaded gparted, too).
:angel:
What I would like to know is:

• Is it possible to dedicate EXT4 partition on SD card as extention to internal memory in stock ROM? How can I do that?
• How can I delete not needed HTC applications from system and/or data (strange, but SD Maid Pro doesn't work)? What damage can I cause? How much memory can I release that way?
• Which ROM I can try, having in mind stability, and battery? Which super lite ROM you would recommend?

Thanks in advance...

You could try mildwild its stable light and good battery life and supports a2sd so you would have plenty of space

Thanks, mate. Will have a look at it.
Did you mean this one?
I may have to talk her into changing visual appearance (she's so used to GB looks!)

Or you could just stick with HTC sense and use

Thank you, too...
Both of them look nice. I might even convince her to try.

However, if it doesn't work, what about:

Also, how reliable are JB ROMs on Desire? Is everything working?

Jb roms just aren't worth it if you need a fully working and reliable phone.


And yes you can use a stock rooted Rom and use a a2sd script.

Here's stock rooted Rom.

Completely stock only real difference is the a2sd

I thought so, also... About JB on Desire.
The one you linked looks really interesting. My favorite at the moment.
For the sake of adventure, I'll try to install a2sd to the one that is on the phone right now, and only after that check other ROMs.

Thanks again! :good:

By the way, how to install a2sd, and where can i find it?
I searched "a2sd", but got links to ROMs back...

One of the most flexible and simple a2sd scripts is mounts2sd. Try it. Move dalvik and app to sd-ext

Okay, thanks for the tip.
But could you help me to find it now?
I love to search on my own, but xda returns ROMs instead.

When your space gets filled slowly.

When your space gets filled slowly.

Unfortunately, I got Low on space message already, while installing standard applications I had before (did factory reset, and SD card partitioning/form
I'm afraid I did something wrong.

To repeat, I am on a stock ROM, S-OFF, rooted. I installed Mount2SD, but probably did something wrong with it.
Was I suppose to "format sd ext", and "mount sd ext"?

EDIT: I did the above fformat/mount. Still the same. Going to some custom ROM now.

EDIT 2: when I open Mount2sd application, in storage section, under "External Data" it says N/A! Why is that?

Attached is the fastboot screen before and after S-OFF. The hboot changed. Is this one good?
I think RSK Sattelite Rosie 8.0 in Aroma said something about stock hboot, which needed to update. This one stuck just after the boot animation.
Installed RSK Special Edition Odexed instead, which seems to be working fine.
Also tried MildWild CM-8.0 JG. It's amazing how small that one is. Didn't like the apperance, though. Looks much like our daughter's ZTE Atlas.

RSK Special Edition Odexed
Great ROM. :good:
Might be occasionally testing others, but this one is just fine for now!
