   Great! When I decide to root my Desire I will try it and I’ll let you know

   August 21st, 2011 at 8:51 pm

   why do i have to download this ?
   Data2SDInstallerX1.zip
   its not mentioned in the guide

   August 21st, 2011 at 8:53 pm

   sorry… saw this now

   Copy CyanogenMod7 rom, Data2SD installers

4. Andrea Grandi:

   @hans: sorry it was my mistake… you have to use Data2SDInstallerX1.zip the first time and use the other one if you reflash the ROM.

   You say: “a rooted HTC Desire (you need to have a rooted phone with a recovery already installed)”
   What can i use to “root my phone with a recovery”? Thanks

6. Andrea Grandi:

   it depends on your phone. To root an HTC Desire, for example, you can follow the instructions available on CyanogenMod Wiki.

   Hey, thanks for this guide. I tried it out and my Desire was extremely slow afterwards. I have had to restore my nandroid backup. I was running CM7 RC1 and my SD was already partitioned to 30 (fat32) – 2 gb (ext4). I have a class 4 32 gb card. I repeated the procedure this time clearing dalvik cache as well but the same result. Any hints?

   cyanogenmod alone can allow the installation of data into sd card…..there is a nice sense rom out there does it with that too…

   i have got a new rom htc sense 3.0 with 2.3.5 ROM….but the main problem i am facing is it is occupying all of my internal memory…and i am not able to install other application…does this way helps what i am facing….

    will this work for any rom to gain memory—and thanks

    Great article Andrea. Your steps work great for the CyanogenMod 7 ROM, however when I tried it with the Oxygen ROM, the phone got stuck on the splash screen after I installed the Data2SD (before that the Oxygen ROM was working well). Any ideas or what I could have done wrong?

    Thanks

12. Andrea Grandi:

    October 21st, 2011 at 3:20 pm

    I’ve never used Oxygen ROM, so I’ve no idea sorry…

    Hi, this is really great, thx a lot for it. I am just wondering – how can I access that 2GB volume, either from phone or PC. In phone browser (Astro), i can not see it and in PC only 30GB FAT volume is mounted.

15. Jack:

    Hey,

    I just finished following this guide. My internal memory is indeed 1.8GB now. I’m installing my apps now and everything seems to be running great! Thanks Andrea, this guide is greatly appreciated.

16. Andrea Grandi:

    December 30th, 2011 at 12:35 am

    @Michal: you cannot access those 2Gb, it’s where the /data is mounted to. That partition is ext2 formatted, while remaining space is FAT32.

    hi. i would like to do this procedure as well.
    the first step is to open GParted on ubuntu linux. but i am using windows 7. can i do this procedure on win7? what steps are different from the ones above and how?

18. Giovanni Lenzi:

    To Chris and Andrea:
    I’ve found that the mentioned problem shows only after reflashing.. neither Data2SDInstallerX1.zip or Data2SDReInstallerX1.zip works correctly after reflash.

    The only way to always get the system booting up from sd is:
    1.wipe data and cache from internal memory
    2. install from zip cyanogenmod or oxygen or other distribution…
    3. from a pc, be sure to delete any file in the sd card installed by previous distribution(cyanogen or oxygen or others) installations (don’t delete zipped files like Data2SD or updateXXX.zip or gappsXX.zip)
    4. insert sd into device and in recovery mode install Data2SDInstallerX1.zip (the system will boot up correctly from sd now, without getting stuck on the splash screen)
    5. reboot and install google apps

    I seem to have the same problem as mentioned before, stuck on the flashscreen, I tried to follow the steps of Giovanni Lenzi but still no luck.

    Working with CM7.1.0 / CWM 2.5.0.7 on a HTC Desire bravo.

    atm I even seem to look at a crash of the D2SD script.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanx

    March 24th, 2012 at 3:51 am

    can i do it by myself or should i go to any xpert and tell me in all this process of gaining xtra space is there any harm for phone means can it be dead during the process

25. dase:

    March 25th, 2012 at 7:08 pm

    All the previous comments about not working or slow working after installing Data2SDInstallerX1.zip related to created partitions on your SD card. They have to be PRIMARY! That will solve all your issues. Definitely will work on HTC Desire

26. Melroy van den berg:

    April 1st, 2012 at 7:26 pm

    Well, it still works. However I should place a note here. The speed of my phone in global is drastically reduced. I guess my phone is 80% slower than before, I even got a SDHC class 6, but that seems to have no effect at all.

    My plan is to use CyanogenMod’s extnal memory feature. By installing App2SD.

    Worked for me! I was about to upgrade to a new phone from my HTC desire because I was getting so fed up with having to constantly clear memory and uninstall apps, but this has fixed the only real problem I have with my phone. I set it to 1gb rather than 2, which seems plenty and works fine. I’ve looked at rooting and installing custom ROMs before, but always found it pretty confusing – this is actually the simplest guide to it I’ve found. Thanks!

30. lorenzo:

    April 8th, 2012 at 3:38 pm

    sorry, but it will work also if my desire isn’t s-off?

31. Andrea Grandi:

    April 8th, 2012 at 3:39 pm

    No, you need to root it.

32. lorenzo:

    can i ask you something in italian?

33. lorenzo:

    now i’ve got an ics4 sandvolv rom, my phone is rooted but not s-off, can i use your guide?

    April 9th, 2012 at 1:20 am

    Hi! It has been a long and pailful process, but at the end I managed. I would like to say “grazie” to Andrea and to all the other people that published on forums and helped me got my phone rooted with the right image at the very end.

35. Andrea Grandi:

    April 9th, 2012 at 1:23 am

    You’re welcome guys
    Just a note: I don’t have HTC Desire anymore, so I cannot give further help about this, sorry :\

36. Andrea Grandi:

    April 9th, 2012 at 1:23 am

    My guide has been tested with CM7 only, I cannot know if it will work even with another ROM I never tested, sorry

37. Neil Mercer:

    April 9th, 2012 at 6:48 pm

    Another tip, since following Andrea’s guide, I since found another ROM called Supernova that is basically normal HTC gingerbread with data2SD built in. This uses an updated version of data2SD which should be more stable. The phone looks and acts pretty much like normal, apart from a couple of small improvements. You don’t need to install the google apps either, they’re built into the ROM.

    I’ve installed it today, and so far, so good. It’s nice to have Sense because I really like the way it integrates your facebook contact photos and stuff. cyanogenmod does have a few more bells and whistles though, so I supposed it depends on your preference.

    First of all, thank you Andrea for your helpful post!

    BTW: There is no problem with CM7.2rc1 and data2sd at my HTC Desire GSM.

    But there are Problems with my favorite ICS ROM for the Desire, the BCM RC3.1 Update 0 (Bravo Cyanogenmod9)[1]

    With this one data2sd won’t work, neither will your Desire start properly anymore. It uses the Aroma Installer[2], where you can preconfigure the Mounts2SD[3].
    But after flashing and configuring more than half a day, it still won’t work. I would have a working solution for ICS, but until then, I’ll have to feel comfortable with CM7.2rc1.

    There are other, probably good working ROMs: ICS for Desire v.0.5.3[4] and AOKP for Bravo[5]. Try, it and report.

42. Carb:

    April 24th, 2012 at 12:08 pm

    Works great on Cyanogenmod 7.2.0 RC1 too. I don’t notice any speed difference . Thank you for the instructions!

43. Carb:

    April 25th, 2012 at 4:36 pm

    Ignore my message from yesterday. CM 7.2.0 RC1 doesn’t work great, extremely buggy: multiple apps were crashing all the time. Gone back to CM 7.0.3 and now it works without crashing and 2 gb internal memory

    Hi guys!
    Thak you for this! I will now try it. But I get stuck on Back up your data. I look at nandroids website… and busybox and adbd and dev spl bootloader?? JesusFreke and symlinks? Thats where I get stuck. Do I have it? Do I need it? Is there program enough?
    Maybe I am way over my head here.. It seemed easy at first. Any help welcome!

    Dear Andrea,

    thank you very much for this.
    For me it was the easiest way to install data2sd on my Desire.

46. Elena:

    May 5th, 2012 at 10:59 am

    What happens when I turn on USB Storage after all these are done? Would the phone disconnect the 2GB that had been assigned as phone memory?

47. Postie:

    May 11th, 2012 at 1:41 pm

    Thank you very much for these steps, now got a lot more of memory to fill on my desire. Already changed to Cyanogenmod but was still confronted with the memory issue. Problem solved, for now, until I run out of the 2gb

    Installed on a class 10 memory card, it worked.

48. Kinkyboots:

    May 15th, 2012 at 11:31 am

    I followed your instructions re extending internal memory but it has not worked. I installed the ROM (Darky) as CyanegenMod always came up with a installation error even downloaded different zips to try. Had confirmation of installation of Data 2SD InstallerX1.zip. But went into phone info and internal storage is still 136mb. What have I done wrong?
    Also, I can not access wifi. when I turn on wifi it come up with Error.

    Anyone can help me. I have HTC desire with Android 2.2.2 version. I have rooted my phone and tried to install from sd card the programs as instructed but couldn’t do. I have option only – apply sdcard:update.zip not install from sdcard. Once I click on that I got the error message failed to open, signature verification failed installation aborted. I cannot choose any programs. Anyone has any solution for my problem?
    Thank in advance!

    i bought an 8gb micro sd card tried it on my desire but it wont work.. keeps on goin to loops stuck on the start up and wont go thru.
    i prettymuch tried everything.. reset/clear cache/dalvik cache to no avail.. pls help me..

58. kevin@demo-listen.com:

    July 2nd, 2012 at 9:20 pm

    This is a great guide. I didn’t use gparted though. After installing cyanogen mod I used ROM manager (within the menu) and formatted the sdcard from there, choosing a memory size of 512 (enough for me) and a swap of 0.

59. Colin C Cook:

    July 14th, 2012 at 2:26 pm

    Thanks for the guide, it served as a great pointer to what I needed to do.

    The only microSD reader I had was my girlfriend’s laptop having a SD card slot (so I used a microSD/SD adapter). Sadly it wasn’t recognised in Ubuntu so I couldn’t use GParted.

    I did however come across a Windows-based paritioner called “MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition”. I was able to create a 14gig FAT32 partition and 2gig EXT4 partition from Windows, great!

    If you do use the suggested app (and this may apply to GParted too), make sure BOTH PARTITONS are set to “Primary” on the “Create as” option when creating them. By default, MPWH selects this as logical. As a result, when the card was put into the phone, neither partition registered.

    Previously I believed only one partition on a drive should be set to “Primary” and all others “Logical” so on attempt #2, my FAT32 and EXT4 partitions were primary and logical respectively. But no, phone did not detect EXT4 partition. Attempt #3, set BOTH partitions to Primary, and everything was detected fine!

    I also want to note that CyanogenMod 7.2 works absolutely fine with the Data2SD script. Once again, thanks for the original post (it seems to come up quite early in Google searches so I thought I’d write my full findings here). It really has given my Desire a new lease of life!!

60. Søren I.Christensen Denmark:

    July 15th, 2012 at 9:01 am

    I had install it as you said, get my 1.97 GB intern memory,all the programs works.
    But Google don,t it says server problem and I can’t use my password, and it stocks and freeze all the time. Do you have a solution???

61. MM:

    July 18th, 2012 at 10:14 pm

    Hi, thanks for the guide. I see Andrea is not using a Desire anymore but was wondering can anyone else help. The guide worked great and everything looks good except for the speed.
    Things are so slow that most apps time out and I get the choice to “wait” or “force close”.
    Anyone with any ideas?
    I have the Rom Toolbox that allows me to increase the SD speed but it makes no difference.

62. MM:

    July 19th, 2012 at 5:35 pm

    So I have a bit of an update.

    I rebuilt again with Cyanogenmod 7.2. Works fine. I didn’t restore from my Titanium Backup this time (I think this may have caused issues for me the first time around since I restored apps+data). Seems to work a bit better but with the Rom Toolbox SD Card setting set to the highest value (4096) I have a working phone again with loads of memory. There is still a delay now and again but other than that it works good.

    Hope it helps.

63. watdav:

    July 21st, 2012 at 2:28 pm

    This works well and it is great to have so much internal memory. This only issue I have had is trying to connect using bluetooth. BT finds my device (external speaker) and says it has paired – but it won’t connect. Anyone had similar problems?

64. Johnnyman:

    July 27th, 2012 at 10:23 am

    Thank you a lot.
    I followed the instructions and it was a success.
    Although I used the MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition, as mentioned in the comments. (Create FAT32 partition first !! and both partitions set as primary)
    I have HTC Desire with CaynogenMod 7.1, 16GB microSD class 6 and now i have over 2GB of ROM.
    All seems to run quite nicely and I am very satisfied with the result.
    Thank you

65. Matt:

    July 27th, 2012 at 3:56 pm

    Had some issues, but finally got it working. Thank you!

    Phone got stuck at HTC splash screen after installing Data2SD. It worked after upgrading ClockworkMod Recovery to latest version. May have been something else I did, but for those having that same problem try upgrading.

66. maxblack:

    July 30th, 2012 at 2:26 pm

    Hi thanks for this post.
    I installed a Supernova rom on a 16gb class 10 Samsung micro SD properly formatted: one parts 2gb fat32, 14gb ext4. now I have around 12gb of “available space / internal storage” and 2gb of “available space / sd&phone storage”. apparently is stable and quite fast. pretty happy for the moment

67. zilijen:

    August 1st, 2012 at 7:16 am

    Excellent, maybe you should just mention Colin Cook’s discovery – Windows-based paritioner called “MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition”.

    Anyway thanks a lot…

68. MM:

    August 11th, 2012 at 5:05 pm

    Changed to a Class 10 SD card and it’s flying. Got a new phone Works better than ever.

    Hi,
    can we extend the memory on HTC out of the box rom (ginger bread 2.3) ?

70. Stoposto:

    August 23rd, 2012 at 1:48 pm

    Hi, I have been wanting to do this for ages, and now finally found the courage to try it out. Found a 8gb class 4 SD that I will use.

    Now I just wonder if anyone got a fast phone with a class 4? I’ve seen a lot say it works great with 6 or 10, but what about class 4? wondering if its the class 4 who are causing the delays people are talking about?

71. Stoposto:

    August 24th, 2012 at 11:48 am

    Update: I am now running cm7.2 with Data2sd. Used a Kingston 8 gb 4class with 2gb formatted to ext4. Both primary(done with windows so “MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition”)

    But after all that done and seeing about 2bg internal memory ive ran into huge lag with allmost all apps.
    I may suspect the SD is at fault.

    I’ll try a few more solutions before I go out and upgrade to the class 6 Sandisk Mobile Ultra, which people have reported to be faster at writing smaller bits than the average class 6

72. John:

    August 26th, 2012 at 6:59 pm

    I tried this a few weeks ago with a class 4. While the instructions worked beautifully (thanks Andrea!), the phone became *very* slow. e.g. 20/30 seconds lag between camera shots, 15/20 lag between clicking something in facebook & getting a response. However…

    Yesterday, I got a 32Gb class 10 Samsung card and repeated the procedure, upping my ext partition to 2Gb and it’s working great. Nice & responsive again – and *loads* of space for installing apps.

    Here’s the card I got: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005FY61EK/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01

    This is running on a HTC Desire GSM with Cyanogen 7.2.0.1.

    Thanks all for your posts – very helpful

    Thanks, your page is the best I have seen so far.
    It works. I battled to find data2SD and eventually downloaded from a torrent. I used a Class 10 SD 16 GiG and works well. Almost no lag even when using keyboard input programs like Slide-It.

    Thanks for posting, was really helpfull.

    However, Data2SDInstallerX1.zip is nowhere to be found on the web anymore, and the substitute Data2SDInstallerT2.4.0.zip results in freezing of my HTC desire during boot.

    So, I just skipped data2sd, and installed S2E from google market, which I use to move data to EXT partition.

    After installing and rebooting, I have installed Data2SDInstallerX1. But when rebooting again after installing Data2SDInstallerX1… nothing happens. The phone keeps showing the CM 10 starting animated screen for… ever.

    Used 16GB Sandisk microSD card (class 10)
    12GB – fat32, 4GB – ext4.
    Partitioned with Partition Wizard from Windows – didn’t work.
    Partitioned with GPartEd – work perfectly
    Installed CM10 Jelly Bean from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1945441.
    Used ‘a2sd xdata’ script from terminal that comes with the package, now I have 4GB internal memory.

    It works great. Fantastic change in my HTC mobile: almost 2 gb of free memory for installing new applications and working faster than ever. No delays at all. Thank you very much, you all, for the guidelines and feedback. I found the data2sd zip file at: http://supernova.droidzone.in/supernova-rom-home/resources/download-links/ . I used the class 10 Sandisk Ultra 16 GB. I followed the instructions and installed everything without any error or problem.

    Thanks very much for this guide. I didn’t notice at first that you need to make the partitions you create as PRIMARY partitions.. rookie mistake. As soon as I realised this, it seemed to work fine..

    Thanks, worked a treat. My HTC Desire is now humming along with more (practical) apps and is usable again. I am using AOKP 4.2.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1863780), using APP2SD with your partitioning information. Very helpful!

    Basically, after loading the rom and booting into phone, i launched the terminal application, typed in ‘su’ and acknowledged the super user for 10 minutes. Typed in ‘app2sd install’ answered yes to moving data and caches. Rebooted when asked and waited for the data to move. Thanks again!

    Hi Cheers for the tutorial, I got my Desire Bravo working great with a lot more apps! However I found it easier to use disk partitioning features in clowork mod’s recovery mode. I also found link2SD to be a better app than data2SD. Cheers, you made my phone a thousand times more useful!
