Yes. The repartitioning of the sd card is *prerequisite*. You do it before
installing the ROM:
From Zach.xtr:
Prerequisites
If you have not setup your SD card (for those new to Apps2sd) as per tkirton:
- BACKUP YOUR SD CARD TO YOUR COMPUTER. Can't stress this enough, as partitioning will wipe the entire card.
- Reboot into recovery
- In Android System Recovery, select Partition sdcard
- In the Partition sdcard menu, select Partition SD
- Follow the instructions on the phone to partition your SD card. Most folks seem to recommend using the default values however you can go larger or smaller use values 256, 512,768,1024. You will also be asked to set a swap size; I stayed at 32mb but many recommend 0mb.
- Once the partition is initially created you must then convert to ext3 - In the Partition sdcard menu, select SD:ext2 to ext3. Follow the instructions on the screen.
- Press the back button on the phone to go back to the main menu.
- Your SD card is now ready to work with an Apps2sd supported ROM.
Then the ROM installation (also from zach.xtr):
TO INSTALL
- YOU MUST HAVE A ROOTED PHONE WITH THE AMON_RA RECOVERY PARTITION
- download the base xtrSENSE .zip file
- complete NANDROID backup
- copy the .zip file to the root of your sd card
- From amon_ra recovery Wipe data/factory reset, Wipe Dalvik-cache, and Wipe SD:ext partition
- flash the xtrSENSE file from sd card
- reboot - first boot will take a while (i.e. over 10 mins - deodexed ROMs take longer on first boot)
- complete short setup and let your accounts sync
- Setup GScripts
- you can now one-click toggle settings at any time
The Step 9.(Gscript setup) is described as:
To setup your GScripts complete the following steps:
1. After opening GScript press the menu button and select "Add script"
2. A new window will open.
3. Press the Load file button
4. Select a script from the list (each is obviously named as to its function)
5. Ensure Needs SU? is checked
6. Now select "Save" and you have added your script
7. To run just select it from the list in the main GScript screen
8. You must reboot the phone for the change to take effect.
I guess, when it comes to installing the ROM I will print out the OP page and blindly follow it to the letter...
This is all on the OP page.
I did the rooting the *long way*, manually installing the nandroid thingy then flashed the engineering3.zip to do the actual rooting. All described in the stickies.
