Root [ROM][AOSP]dGB v01_28_2012| 2.3.5| 375MB /data| 60MB /system |Mult-lang |Unlock |Reboot[28 Jan]

You can flash the ROM, but the fact that it is superslim will not benefit you at all. If you are on the stock hboot partition the only thing that will happen is that you will have a large section of your /system partition (of 250 Mb) empty since the ROM is only 65 Mb.

In order to use the space made available by flashing a small lightweight ROM, is to flash it onto a partition table with a correspondingly small /system partition. What you use to install user apps is the /data partition. For that to be big, you need small /system and /cache partitions.

For more info please read the excellent faq's and guides in the stickies multiple times. I've read them half a dozen times, and still need to go back to them...

There's a dGB hboot BTW

 

[Hadron]

Also on holiday, but was thinking that between this and redux 2 I was going to have to make a custom hboot or 2 when I got back.

Looks like it's going well - will def give it a go on my return.

 

[SUroot]

I used the _thalamus tool you mentioned, ran it through Wine and it worked perfectly.

 

[Hadron]

That is useful info - I do have a Windows PC, but it's sometimes hard to get time on it

Awesome job SUroot. What a fast ROM you have put together ...or should I say stripped apart!

I did a complete wipe as per normal when installing a different ROM but, I gambled a bit and tried something different. After the wipe I installed only the dGB_V1.2.zip, booted up and signed into Google. With no apps installed yet I checked my internal memory: Total space; 148MB, Available space 120MB. I then booted to recovery and flashed the Redux apps_dalvik2ext-UNSIGNED.zip and booted back up. Total space; 148MB, Available space 144MB.

I know the custom MTD's / HBoot give you more room but i wanted to try this for now to see if it worked. So far, so good.

 

[SUroot]

Cool stuff! With the hboot, you will have 368MB in total for /data. Its an easier life than custom MTD that will give you only 370MB

 

[andruoid]

Done! I s-off'ed with Revolutionary, in the process updated to CWM 4.*, flashed your ROM, flashed your image, booted up and now have 368MB total / 340MB free.

Niiiiice! Thanks SUroot!

v1.3

• Added CM Power button screenshot
• re-added DroidSansFallback font (3.5MB) to fix non-alphanumeric character issues
• Changed btn_check_off.png to be visible on whit and black background
• Lightened Notification backgrounds

 

[MandaNick]

Hopefully I'll get v1.3 ported to CDMA tomorrow, but I don't want to release without atleast a little testing. I'll start a new thread with the link once I have it done.

 

[DNick]

If you need a tester, Manda Nick. I'll be happy to help you out if I can. I LOVE MIUI, So I honestly won't run this for long. But you've helped me, I'll help you.

 

[andruoid]

Amazing battery life. 70% after 1 day 5 hrs... wifi on the entire time, except when the phone 'slept', installed 18 apps, made all my changes to settings, surfed and facebooked a little, watched a movie clip, androidified myself ... best ROM out there imho!

...just noticed 1.3 ...grabbing it now...

 

[rowlers]

I'm really tempted to give this a go!
my only concern is reverting back to Oxygen if I need to..

 

[SUroot]

Are you posting it here or XDA? If only here, I can link to it from my Thread and advertise a CDMA option. As I have a host now, I can Host it too....

 

[MandaNick]

I'd prefer to just post it here, as XDA seems a little....overcrowded . Dan, I will take you up on the offer to host though. @DNick, thanks for the offer man, but I have a couple devices I can test it out on here, so I should be good.

 

[SUroot]

Ok well I'll link to your thread from mime on xda if that's all right? Then I can put cdma in the title. I'll mention the hboot won't work and you may wanna link to your mtd thread?

Stick it in a drop box or something and I'll ftp it up and send you the.link got family visit today so can't until tomorrow

Will the 1.3 run Ok as I've installed gtalk? Or will it overwrite it when I flash? Due to system space issues, or ill pull it with adb.

 

[Usta]

So, I've installed today this ROM (v1.3) and it does what it promises. Thank you for releasing it!
I do however keep my ext partition, if I jump to another ROM. Somehow, I prefer a2sd+, especially its implementation in CM7 ROM.

You can flash 10apps2sd on here if you really want.

I use the "move to sd" option

So it will all still fit into the 65mb system partition. Amazing!! You rock Susan.

 

[SUroot]

Just

 

[ducky1979]

gotta say pal im still loving this rom of yours, im at 15 hrs on time with 3 hours screen on and its just hit 15% battery. im loving it. ive hammered it today!! really loving it pal.

 

[SUroot]

Reuploaded 1.4 with a smaller Keyboard (thanks Hadron) so now is under 60MB (this is the smallest I have EVER got).

New Hboot released with 60MB /system (about 900k free) even after flashing a ManU kernel (1.5MB without). Please check the MD5 if you use it. I HAVE tested it and can report I am currently using it happily.

Format System and Cache before flashing the hboot.

Welcome to the smallest functional ROM on the Desire

 

[ducky1979]

What's the best way to change my mtd to use the smaller system? Is it flash this 1.4, nandroid, full wipe, run cmtd setup again, restore nandroid, and patch boot? Or is there an easier way?
