Hi guys,
OK so I have had my first Android phone for 2 days now (Sensation XE) and I have rooted it last night with Revolutionary.
Had some hitches, but got there in the end.
Anyway so to play it safe I thought I would flash Android Revolution 3.6.8 for sensation
I have clockwork and made a full backup, which is now on my computer.
Anyway I copied over superwipe and the ROM to the SD card and booted into recovery.
I attempt to use Superwipe, this does start but then fails on its own package, Status error 1 Installation aborted
When I try to flash the ROM on its own (Wiped using clockwork) basically the same thing happens again
What could the the issue?
Redownload zip files.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e with Beats Audio using XDA App
Even if its happening on both?
I would give it a try.

Nope still the same issue
Also, I formatted my SD card and redownloaded again, it still states "E:error in /sdcard/android revolution etcetcetc
(Status 1)
Installation aborted
If you do the wipe manualy via CWM (wipe cache,boot,system,data...) does it work?

Good news! Seems as though I have fixed the issues.
Basically formatting (Even doing a full long format) of my Sd card wouldnt work, but would always show 1.6GB total space, the Card is 2GB, so I would expect around 1.8GB at least.
Anyway Superwipe wouldnt work, but the one from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1280358
Is different, and did actually run.
Since it has run, its seems as though its deleted a hidden partition, I now have 1.8GB of free space on the SD. and I can now instlal anything without fault.
Hope someone else who is having the same issues as me see this thread, it would stop them from pulling there hair out!

Thanks I had this issue too and it was fixed as above.
Odd though - SD comes with a partition from factory?

Thank you so much. I was having the same issue, and this one works!!!
I was having the same issue and this worked for me.
Thank you!
Glad I'm helping people!
Can you press the "Thanks" button for me?
I had the same issue on my phone, and it turned out that Android Revolution and the Super Wipe that comes with it do not work with ClockworkMod. They are instead built to work with 4EXT. If you try to install with ClockworkMod, it will get a failure in the package. The reason for the failure is because the cache is still mounted, and it tries to wipe it. You can work around this by going back and unmounting cache, then trying to run the Super Wipe install again. You'll have to repeat the same procedure for installing Android Revolution.
One thing though is if you do install Android Revolution with ClockworkMod instead of 4EXT, you'll miss some important prompts. Once you get your phone up and running again, install 4EXT, then reinstall Android Revolution with it.

Hi,
Im kinda new to the whole rooting-business, especially the partition stuff.
Ive tried and searched everywhere after a solution to my problem, but I was sent here, to the experts.
I have a rooted HTC Desire 2.3 with Cyanogenmod 7.1
My problem is that nothing happens when I press "Partition SD-card".
I have tried in both RomManager and in recovery. It says "done!" and all, but when I check my space, nothing has changed. I still have only 148MB. Have tried multiple times.
The GParted stuff seems kinda scary, so I want to avoid that. I have also tried the "toggle signature" thingie.
And please, if you have an answer, please take me for a noob, because I am
Thank you
Hi ToreBarsk,
If both method display "done" your card was correctly partitioned.
But the 148Mo was the internal memory and can't be enlarged (except by flashing custom alpharev patition table but it's too complicated and dangerous if you'r new in the flashing world).
Since few month (years ?) Cyanogen ROM no longer contains A2SD. But S2E (Simple2ext) can help you (search S2E on Google Play Store).
For more details go to the Desire Android Development section all is explained : http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=628

Hi All,
I had rooted my phone a long time back and to clear up some memory i factory reset it. Now i am stuck on the white screen with htc logo . Please tell me what to to . I have no backups as well , as i ended up formatting my memory card while trying to create a partition on it.
When i start the phone in recovery mode this is what i get (Pico CMW-Based Recovery v5.0.2)

Thanks , your answer solved my problem
Now i plan to install the JaggyRom 4.0.3 on my HTC Explorer. Do you think its a good idea ?
I only have a 2GB SD Card , is there any requirement that i have to convert at least 1GB to ext partition before installing the ROM.
Any other things which you would suggest i take care of before proceeding ?
Thanks a lot
Give link to rom which you wan't to install.
Especially Jaggy 4.0.3 was GB with sense 3.5 I THINK, so you don't need 1gb ext, even 512 will do. If it's ICS with sense 4 you need 1gb ext.
My advice: Don't worry if first time it stucks on white htc screen, if this happens, just try wiping everything again and flash again.
And another thing you can download this http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?lim1od8qrjdbblp you flash it before you flash the rom, it wipes everything by it self, I'm not sure how it works with sense 4, but for every athor rom it's fine.
Hi,
sorry not allowed to post the links yet.

please edit the link
I think i shall try this one now, and once i get the knack of it , i'll buy myself a bigger memory card and try ICS
Please let me know if i should go forward with it.
Thanks for the help .
Uff ya, forgot about links restriction, with this one you don't need more than 512mb of ext. Just don't forget to flash 'wi-fi fix' after install and follow the instructions.
With this one you also can use the 'superwipe.zip' that I've posted in the previous post, instead of wiping everything manually, whichever suits you best.
Also if you wan't you can check out cm9, it's ICS and its stable, for it you don't need 1gb ext partition. Well that's it, have fun

Thanks ,
i'll try the JaggyRom and tell you how it goes.
If you want to keep your Rom pure stock then flash the one by immortal_yash with ext support. It's smoother then jaggyrom 4.0.3 for me or you can flash cm9.1 build 14 . It's your choice so try and use the one which is best for you...

1. Make ext3 partition
2. Do not overclock... you can /rather will cause permanent damage
3.you don't need to use internal memory as ram ~if you do, it may reduce life of SD card

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
What i observed was that the phone started restarting after i had run the following command (to enable ext4 to be used as part of internal memory):
Code:
su
m2sd rmount enable
so i again ran
Code:
su
m2sd rmount disable
after which it stopped restarting. Any pointers what could be the reason for this ? I have a 2GB card, not sure which class , but since it came with the phone i believe it should be class 2 or class 4
Type in terminal emulatur 'm2sd status'
It will show what is enabled, answers will come.
And did you used superwipe.zip, or manually wiped everything. And normally it's better ext partition to be ext2 or ext3.

Well have you removed the sd card while the phone was on?.....If thats the case then you may have to reflash the rom....
Also download roms from xda itself because it is posted by the original devs themselves and you get better support.

Encryption Unsuccessful Message
I tried both mod1, 2, and 3. Each time I load my rom, load the BOOT-MOD-3.zip, and then my apps (PA Gapps).
I keep getting a Encryption unsuccessful message. Also to note, during the initial boot, it only preps/installs 12-14 apps and not the 70+ that usually need to be done when I don't run the move mod.
Any ideas?

You need to wipe all partitions except sdcard in recovery, flash rom, gapps, then mod.
When you update rom, flash rom then mod again, that's it.
SD-ext needs to be a second primary partition formatted in ext4 (or f2fs if using cm12/cm12.1).
Note: New versions uploaded. Now supports all ivanich's ROMs (cm11,cm12,cm12.1).
@hinxnz: great mod, thx!
Working great for me, but I got 2 questions:
1) I flashed the newest cm12.1 two days ago and flashed your mod (all in SD except dalvic) afterwards. Now you uploaded a New Version compatible with all ivanich Roms. Does your update make any differences for me with cm12.1? Should I reflash?
2) You just said that the mod should be flashed after gapps, I did it the other way round. Does it matter? Got no problems so far.

It doesn't matter in what order, as long as the mod is flashed after ROM because it edits ramdisk in the kernel.
Your fine with the version you have, it will act the same. You can flash the newer version when you update your ROM.
Problem with storage size
Thanks very much for the mod.
I wanted to use "All Data excl. Dalvik-Cache" and ivanichs cm 12.1 with 4ext recovery.
I was using delta-roh method on my previous installation.
I wiped all partitions except SD card. clean install the rom, then pico gapps and then this mod. Then i install my backups with titanium backup and it started to say storage is full.
When I checked the storage it was still showin 1.15gb and it was full. But installed app size was showing 2gb. I wast able to get sms because of the storage was full.
Am I missing something with the installation method?
Thanks is advance for the replies.

You could use a root file explorer and check the properties of /idata or just enter code below into a terminal emulator. To enable terminal in cm12, goto developer options and enable local terminal.

To enter recovery pull battery out, then reinsert it. Hold down volume down button while powering up device and it will enter bootloader, which then you can enter recovery by selecting recovery.
You must have a second primary partition (sd-ext) of your sdcard formatted as ext4 (or you can choose to use f2fs if using cm12 or cm12.1).
If your formatting your whole sdcard instead of shrinking your fat32 partition, then you need to create the first partition (fat32) first and then the second (ext4 or f2fs), otherwise they will be labelled wrong.
CM11 doesn't support f2fs, so if you format it as f2fs on CM11, you will get an encryption error and same goes I guess if you format a partition in ext2 or ext3 because it's not configured in fstab.
Did you try flashing ROM and then mod again, maybe it was a bad flash, it can happen.
I'm using your MOD Plus V3 with 2 f2fs partitions at the moment, which I created with GParted.
What does TWRP do when wiping sd-ext in recovery? If I need to wipe both is there any posibility without using GParted?
And similar, what is backuped by TWRP when doing a backup of sd-ext?
Multi swap
Hi there,
I love the work you've been doing on the sensation and I'm glad to still be using it 4 years on with the latest CM12.1. I have a problem with lagginess after multiple attempts to install CM12.1 and your boot mod v1.2. It seems to be an issue relating to the memory and swap, and I noticed running the cat /proc/swaps shows BOTH /dev/block/zram0 AND the data partition. Removing the zram0 by using the swapoff command speeds the phone up loads. Is there a permanent fix though to persist after reboots?
Thanks,
Keith

Hi Keith, zram shouldn't be active, my mod disables it in fstab.pyramid, found in the root directory.
I don't know why it's activated on your side, maybe an app or init.d script.
To disable it, you could use an init.d script.
Code:
#!/sbin/sh
# Disable ZRAM
swapoff /dev/block/zram0
ZRAM sorted
Thanks for the reply mate. I installed TWRP (from 4ext) and used it to reformat everything and start from scratch which sorted out the ZRAM0 issue.
After reinstalling ivanich's CM12.1 and your boot mod v1.2 it was much better. I'm still having intermittent lag and slow network speeds so I reverted to CM11 this morning (with your boot mod) to see if it was any quicker. Seems to be much quicker but the lag persists. Weirdly I get the lag most in the settings, and it bombs out sometimes. I'm wondering if it could be to do with my SD card partitions which were created in GParted, not TWRP.
If you've got any ideas of things to check I'm all ears.
Thanks for the kind support!

No worries, first try a lower swappiness value by lowering value in /cache/swap.conf, save it and then reboot.
Try 30 or 40, default is 60. See how it goes.
If you still have lag then your memory could be running very low, use an app or init.d script to raise minfree values slighty higher.
I don't think it has to do with your sd partitions, could be your sdcard is a little slow maybe.
You could probably check the partitions in twrp or gparted though.
If you sort it, post what you did :good:

Update: Blew everything away again and installed cm12.1 fresh without the SD-EXT mod and it runs fast and lag-free. Installed the sd-ext and lagginess came back. :-/
I had previously tried a fresh install with another SD partitioned by TWRP, made no difference to lagginess. Lower swappiness values seemed to have a minor difference but still laggy.
The lagginess seemed to be mostly when loading from disk. Applications in RAM seemed to run fine until they needed to load something. Downloads very slow on WiFi or 3g, titanium backup very slow too. Strange...
It would be nice to get it working but this is a tad baffling. Thanks for your kind support!

SDHC or SDXC and UHS-I or UHS-II
I have a Sandisk Ultra SDHC UHS-I and it's only just fast enough for this mod, I need a faster one really.
I have no issues with download speeds with wifi, not really related to mod though, could be slow at writing to sdcard.
Titanium could be slow due to slower writing speeds on sdcard too as it has to build dalvik-caches on sdcard when restoring apps.
Edit: Can you try BOOT-MOD-1.1.zip, it's the non-plus version. It would be good to know if you still experience lags with it, if you do, then sdcard is not fast enough, otherwise could be something to do with the plus version, cheers.

I'm using a Lexar 32GB class 10 SDHC, had no issues with it. I ran the A1 SD card benchmarking tool and it measured reads of 17 and writes of 11 MB/s. The internal flash reported speeds of 25MB/s read and 7MB/s write by comparison.
I'll try the BOOT-MOD v1.1 and report back...
Ok so maybe you have a HTC explorer in 2k16 and you want itto work with performance and you want some cool apps in it too. Well you came to the right place.

what gapps package did you use, because a package i found on the internet did not work.
I really wanna breathe new life in this phone
Thanks for this awesome thread.
One thing I never understood in those scripts, should I format my sdcard first? In recovery? In a pc (using for example mini tool partiton wizard)?
What partition scheme do you recomend?
So far I have a 4Gb SD-Card but I may buy a 8Gb Class 10 one.
Partition

Just have one partition(sd-ext4) which will be your internal memory.
Just make sure you have formatted sd card and make partition.
Install the rom and flash the script on top of it (try int2ext).
It will increase if you follow the OP.

Tried before with ext3 and ext4 partition and in recovery it says installation aborted.
Do you think it is because of partition or recovery? philz touch recovery.

no you dont need to do anything beside make a backup of your files if you already dont have a sd ext just place the file and enjoy..... but if you dont have sd ext just get a sd card of class 6 or above boot into recovery go to advanced and partition sd card my recomended size is 2 gb... thats it... kill the thanks button if i helped

Thanks, working fine now.
Regardless of which ROM or recovery i'm on, my device reboots randomly after some times(even after a thorough clean flash). Tried almost all of the ROMs .....but nothing worked. Posted my problems in other appropriate threads too.....but didn't get any reply. Finally tried mini Cm9.......but still it has random reboots.........any help is appreciated :good::good::good:

ok random reboots i once had them too there are two reasons for this problem and there are two solutions so dont worry
1. problem with batery:
pull out the back case and clean the battery terminals with alcohol and do the same with terminals on phone. now without putting the battery in press the power button for 10sec after that put the battery back in and voila nomore reboots.
if not then continue
2. problem with kernal:
it can also be caused by a faulty kernal so i will recomend that you flash a custom kernal. and to be frank try one of arsalan kirmani kernals those are stable
hope i helped :good::good::good:

I've tried different kernels in the past...but none helped....can you suggest one specifically ?? I only have a 4 gb memory card....so creating 3 partitions is not a good idea. I mostly rely on ICS ROMs. So any suggestions ?

Try without memory card. In the past I had one Nokia with problems like you describe and it was the memory card.
I had 4gb Class 4 with Fat32 and EXT partition without problems. Now I just upgraded to 32Gb Class10 for 9eur because I mainly use my explorer as mp3 player.
Using this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1876466 (MIUI cm9 based) with int2ext like this thread suggests and it is ok

MIUI rom is good, it don't have any problem of random reboots.. it is hardware problem... or try 2.3.5 android roms once.. before that format sd card and make perfect partition then change to default recovery and wipe everything which are necessary then flash a rom.. it may or may not works but give a try..
