Apps2sd for Magic

Hi,
I am new to Magic/Sapphire. I only got mine today but have had a G1 for 5months.
Is it possible to do Apps2sd on any of these roms?- i have rooted it and am running Skittle's ion port for 32A. Can the roms be setup to run aps2sd the same way Cyanogen's rom does or do we have to do it old skool with symlinks?
I haven't seen any posts on this so thought i would put it out there...is it really necessary is my next question- do we have enough memory as it is?

We have bigger ROM on Magic, so no need to make app install on SD to reduce performance and usable life of your SD card

Apps2sd

I am currently running cyans 3.9.9.10 but as soon as i flash a theme to it ex: smorg black it erases my apps2sd anyone know why and how do i enable autoswap

also I have another question regarding apps to sd. so in magic custom roms appz to sd is by default now ? or do we have to follow any dream tutorial?

Root Without Custom Build

So i am planing on selling my G1 to a friend, now I told him I will root his phone, but heres the thing, I want to unlock it for him since he uses at&t, that I can already do
But I wish to root his phone but not have a custom build, Since most Iv tryed crash more then the phone should and he has a 2gb sd card so he can't do apps on sd
is it possible, and once again ill state it,
1)unlocked
2)root w/ superuser
3)No custom build or if I have to,do a good non apps on sd thats very very very stable
4)Donut (latest android version)

it is very possible to do app2sd on a 2g card. it's not the best, but it is extremely possible. i ran my phone with a2sd on a 2g card for several months and it worked perfectly fine.

I dunno if this will work, and I might be totally just talking crazy, but if you didn't partition your sd card, i don't think it should use a2sd, since i guess to run it, it looks for that second partition? So just like a regular stock sd card without any other partitions should let him use just the regular memory. And on that note, enomther's roms are pretty close to stock, and i'm sure your friend wouldn't mind those extra little additions. Just a suggestion. Hope it helps!

sounds about right to me. if there's no ext partition on the card, it can't use apps2sd.
doesn't enomther have just a base donut with just root? no fancy stuff?

well, I think there's under the hood stuff to make it run a bit faster, but apart from that, it's pretty close to stock. And like I said, his friend shouldn't complain about the extras, or else maybe he doesn't deserve it. lol.

These are standard OTA roms w/ root.
That should cover all you need.

And what is a problem to use app2sd on 2gb card? I use stock 1gb sd card for a2sd and everything is working fine.

Even if your friend only runs a 2gig card with just a 150meg ext partition still better than whats on the phone itself and is hardly a noticable loss.
As already mentioned on here Enomthers base rom and the 2.3.3 ext pack are pretty close to stock with a few improvements and I've been running it hard for over a month and never had any problems or issuse's and if you use Amon RA's 1.5.2 recovery image your blazing fella. I switch roms like my underwear at the moment and the nandroid + ext backup on the recovery image brings me back to exactly how is was before switching! Tis genius!

for everyone else. thanks much

[Q] Help Needed About ROM

hey guys, i am Kenny Spark, if you aint heard of me already, im a GSC Coder and script MW2 Files to hack the game. I can code in several languages including c++
i am new to all this stuf and need a helping hand.
2 days ago i downgraded my HTC Desire's Rom to stock Android 2.1
i then rooted the device using unrevoked on linux (backtrack 4)
then i began to flash custom roms to my phone but im now stuck when i try to flash RCMixHD v2.0 ROM to my mobile.
According to the developer, this rom uses a script know as data2ext which i think requires something to be done with the sd card. i think this has to be done
Fat + 1GB Ext4 + 0.3GB Ext4 + 0.1GB Swap
i know this means partitioning my sd card but i really have no idea on how to do it. i have a 4gb sandisk sd card so if anyone could explain i would appreciate it very much
i flashed the A2SD+ Version and it worked but the data2ext version just hung on the htc screen (i diddnt do anything to my sd card)
also do i need a certain radio or kernal? Thanks alot guys

Ongoing freezes with 'mixed' Sense 2.1/3.0 roms

Hi all,
Have tried many, many ROMs lately: RCMix, Leedroid, AlexV, Cool X, Cool Sensation v6 (latest) but with all these socalled mixed ROMs that contain GB with Sense 2.1 + 3.0 I experience freezes. Most oftenly when I either end a call or when my phone has been on the charger for quite some time.
Is it the phone? No
Why am I sure? When I unroot the whole ROM, it ll runs vary stable. Trouble start
What I did sofar:
- Use alpharev to get me on Stock Boot, also tried CM7r2 combined these with various ROMs
- Repartion, align to Ext4 (also without that staying on Ext3), wipe, wipe again, flash any of the mentioned ROMs
- I have reinstalled apps with Titanium but to make sure this was not the cause, also tried this manually
- Checked SD card by repartitioning it to Fat32 only and then using write/read tools to check every memort block of my SD card.
- Tried putting the CPU governor to "on demand" as some people tend to think that this causes instability
- Tried disabling app caching to Ext partition (efftively downgrading from A2SD+ to A2SD)
It seems I have but one option, and that is to go back to unrooted version.
hope some of you may have a hunch what I can try out more.... Anyone?

hi there
have you tried insertcoin stable 1.0.8?
i used that and had no lags at all
even rcmix s 2.0 with the 2.0.1 update for the led fix

Change your sd card. Wrong section.

After you have tried almost everything in your place I would return the stock rom that works well and sold cell phone.

Hunch is indeed that SD card is somehow corrupted, although I did write 8GB of test data on it and all was read with NO errors. Could this still be an issue somehow?

I find that if a ROM is partitioned on my SD Card, it tends to lag and run slow because mine is just Class 2 SanDisk. It seems you'll need a higher class SD card or you could do what I did and opt for coolexe's Gingerbread Sense 2.1 Roms SagaS/AceS/VisionS that fit 100% in the Desire's system.
