When i had stock froyo (a2sd) if i force to be installed on sd, the widget wont work. is this the same with a2sd+ ??
Hi Dan and others,
I am begining to muster up courage to move to a custom ROM, but have a few queries:
I have a debranded Orange phone (goldcard used) with stock HTC Froyo. Do I need to Unlock (Sim) my phone for the initial rooting process??
I have a gold card but would like to use a bigger card for the A2SD+ features, should I make it a Goldcard as well or can I flash my rom with the original Goldcard and use the new formatted card after flashing for daily use.
grateful for all advice
You don't have to use the goldcard when flashing. It's just a backup for recovery purposes.
You don't need to unlock the phone but with Orange it might be best to remove the sim during the rooting process.
I know I need to root 1st but do I do the 5 steps Apps2SD thing beofre or after I've installed my new ROM?
The first one you can do before rooting, but you need to be rooted before you can do any of the others. The last one is the installation of the new ROM1) Backup your SD card contents to your PC
2) Install ROM manager from the Market.
3) In ROM manager, click "Flash Clockworkmod recovery"
4) Choose "Partition SD Card", select size as 512MB, Swap = 0
5) now you just need to flash your ROM with a2SD+ support.
Thanks Dan, will do, I am hoping to use the Leedroid rom v2.3. I am on 2.2 stock HTC, is there any thing that I need to be careful about in particular during the process??
If you mean these steps:

How do I backup the the SD card, with Titanium backup?
The only i don't want to REALLY lose is my Angry Birds game!
If you need to backup only Angrybirds:
Titanium Backup>Filter:Angry>Backup>
Click on the file and choose backup.
Now copy the folder TitaniumBackup from sdcard to pc
Hmm..
Ti is used to backup applications and data, including optionally all system data. It creates files in the folder TitaniumBackup in the sdcard
If you want to backup the sdcard, just copy all the files/folders to the pc. If it includes the above folder, you can restore all apps on your new rom too
So run Titanium, backup the files to the SD card & then basically just mount the phone as a disc drive & copy everything to the PC?
Yup..
Also, do a Nandroid backup too be safe, and these backup files are in folder Clockworkmod\backup\. Copy these also to hard disk to be safe.
Connect the phone to a computer. Select disc drive mode. Copy the filesHow do you do that?
Sorry I know I'm being thick
Connect the phone to a computer. Select disc drive mode. Copy the files
Yeah, that occurred to me just after I hit "save" - hence the edit above.
I haven't installed Leedroid myself. Just the usual things to be careful of. You may need to do a wipe.
If you're going to Leedroid from an Orange branded rom, I believe Eris Ed has done this, so he may have some pointers...
