Al-Maisan Arabic ROM-StarBurst Regional Edition
2.32.415.3
Current Version: Al-Maisan 1.0.5
Partition Required: FAT32 followed by ext2/3/4
Base Software: 2.32.415.3 Arabic
Note that Al-Maisan is the Arabic edition of StarBurst, built completely from the latest Arabic HTC Software for maximum compatibility. In contrast to other ROMs with just Arabic locale and libraries added, this is completely based on the Arabic ROM.
Note that some links in this site may link you to StarBurst English Edition. In that case, just follow the page menus to navigate back to the Arabic ROM.
The main feature of this pure HTC Sense Rom is the stable Data2SD that is built in
In case you didnt already know, the Desire’s Internal memory is severely limited (A maximum of 147 MB. Within no time, you will be asked to remove your favoite apps to clear space. Earlier implementations like A2SD, App2SD+ are all imperfect, and everything will never be moved. Even MTD partitions are limited.
With Data2SD, you decide the amount of Internal memory you want!
As a side effect, you get faster I/O too, since Sd is faster than Nand. the real world performance depends on the Class of your card. The faster the better!
This rom is based on Sibere’s Data2sd scripts, which with the latest ext4 based script, is arguably one of the best of the lot. Other than this, the Rom has been kept stock, with the base rom 2.29.405.5. It is for those who want the HTC Sense Rom, but are tired of the low disk space warnings thrown at them! Of course, important mods like the Restart menu, Supercircle battery mod (@UOT) etc are available.
Contrary to prior Data2SD scripts which were infamous for their boot loops and force closes, this latest script has been rigorously tested and developed into a stable product by Sibere. To date, I havent had a single force close or boot loop yet on this Data2SD configuration
I know there are a lot of Stock rooted roms out there, but this one supports Data2Sd best, mostly because it’s been built for the sole purpose of giving a problem free Data2sd experience.
