Hey guys,
I've been trying to flash my phone with just about any ROM as any I seem to try end up sticking on the HTC splash screen. The only one that doesn't is the Devillain one which would be fine if it wasn't for the fact that a) the SD card doesn't mount for some reason and b) my bluetooth headset only transmits music and doesn't allow calls over BT.
Anyone have any ideas why so many roms don't work? I've tried Clockwork mod and Amon RA Recovery and both produce the same result. It's really beginning to annoy me
Maybe they use Apps2SD+?
Ok so how would I install that? Thought it was included on the ROM's to be honest so I haven't put it on there!

Still very new on this, but I guess you need to create a special (ext) partition on your SD card for Apps2SD+ to work...
As far as I know, you can do this from the recovery menu...
Please correct me if I'm wrong...

Correct! But you can also use ROM Manager which makes the creation of the partition easier, but remember to backup data from sd as it will be wiped!
So if I just create a ext partition (which I've done through Amon Ra recovery) it should work? Just transferring some ROM's over now and will try again.
Yes, setup an Ext2 partition. Then convert it to Ext3.
I love you guys I had an ext 3 partition before but for some reason it didn't work properly. Having formatted again I've just installed DJDroid's Rom

Install ROM Manager to partition your SD card, very easy to do

I made partition with Rom Manager.
Do I need now to "swap" ext2 to ext3?
If so, how do I do it?!
Have you tried DeFrost? I haven't installed anything (Like A2SD) on top of the ROM itself so if that's the issue, this ROM should work for you.
In Recovery (2.5.0.5) I get the error E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 (File exists) Everything seems to work except nothing happens when I wipe battery stats. I have tried messing around with parted but it says it doesn't exist and doesn't let me create a new one. Does anyone know what the problem is or how to fix it?
I'm thinking it might have happened when i updated my recovery to 2.5.1.1 But I'm not sure. Thanks.

Check out my sig.
Thanks. I'm backing up my SD card now to try that. Does the new partition need to be that big? I don't move apps to my SD card and right now only have a 2 gig card.

Probably not. I have an 8 gig and like to plan for the future. Feel free to trim it, then let me know if it works and what size you used.
Thanks. That was quick and painless. I was able to make the SD ext partition 128mb. That's the smallest size it allowed.
I'm like you. Seeing any error really bugs me.

Don't know. Try reading the first four posts and then you might be able to tell me.

Read his entire post. Including his signature.
Just a further question on that... I have read PonsAsinorem's sig and I understand what is going on, but what I don't understand is how app2SD froyo style is working: it lets me "move" my apps to the SD card from within Froyo, although there is no such /sd-ext partition in my SD card. Does it mean that in fact it is not really moving the apps to the SD card? I am a little bit puzzled here...
Thanks,

I haven't toyed around with apps2sd extensively. I don't have that many and they read quicker off internal, if only slightly, so that is where I keep them. Also makes it easier to flash ROMs (I'm a firm believer in wiping all data and remnants of the previous ROM). I also didn't come onto the Android scene till rift before Froyo so I was a rookie. Which is what this MIGHT be, a fragment of 2.1, or even earlier, left behind for compatibility purposes. I don't have enough background to answer this with certainty.

The apps2sd implementation for our phone doesn't actually move it to our sd card, it moves it to emmc (internal storage) instead and doesn't require an ext partition.
Hi, I have Galaxy s and i had the same error message so I did as explained... but now my phone get stuck on defalt recovery screen and when I try to select "apply sdcard:update.zip" it says "E:can't open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or directory) Installation aborted"...
what I understand is that the instructions for formatting the SD card wiped all the data including update.zip file.
Now my phone is no more usable, it get stuck on main default recovery(not clockwork) :-(
Please hepl me.. I know Its a another phone section but please help me if you can
Thank you in advance
Error Solve
I use "Paragon Partition Manager" to solve this problem with my sd-ext
make sd-ext to 3 partitions
First partition
for keep your data set file system to FAT32
Second partition
create new partition size beteen 32 - 40MB and file system is Linux Swap
Third parition
create new partition size around 517MB and file system is Linux Ext2
Done!!
ps. sorry for my poor english language
I'm having this error happen when I try to wipe Dalvik cache. I don't understand the Check my sig thing. I'm an idiot.

Not really, because I took it out. I'll see if I can dig it up again.

I tried solving my problem just as described in the link above. I thought that it had been because I had partitioned my SD with too big a partition, 2 Gig. I resized my partition, exactly like described using AmonRa, without any problems except that the error still remained. I tried it again but this time with Clockwork. Again no success. I finally gave up and re-partitioned it with AmonRa and my original 2 Gig EXT partition. Finally success! I dont know if attempting with different recoveries did something but it worked and it worked with a 2 Gig EXT partition. Hope this helps someone else.
Hello,
I am having that ROM on my HTC Desire, and i have low on space. I know that oxygen 2.3.2 supports apps2sd, but i dont know how to apply that on my ROM. Can someone give me some tutorial or something?
....thanks
Have a EXT partition on your SD card?
which EXT? 2,3,4? What then?

you need to partition your sd-card with an EXT3 or EXT4 partition besides your fat32
yeah, i already did that. what now?
It should simply work.
Can you check it in titanium or so?
heh, it dont work. do i need to install terminal emulator or something and insert some codes?
i'm no expert in this but I mostly check space usage in Titanium Backup.
It's in the market

when you say it doesn't work, what does titanium output say when you open it?
if it lists a2sd storage, and free space is less than total, then A2SD is working just fine as it should and already applied. no need for extra commands. keep apps on 'internal', don't manually 'move to sd', and they will continue to use the partition.
i find 'diskusage' a really good app to show how each partition is being used.
one other thing to check, are you s-off with cm7r2 hboot? this will give you a lot more space.
if you upgrade to a more recent version of the ROM, apps and dalvik cache are stored on the ext partition by default, thus giving you even more space. if you want to stick with your current version, there should be zips posted in the thread to move dalvik to sd as well.
The easiest thing to do is installing "s2e" from Google Play Store. Search the tread for more info.
If that's not enough, you should considering flashing "data2sd" - it gives you almost unlimited storage on your phone (google it ) I do think it's supported on your rom... not 100 % sure
Ok kinda weird question, but hey I want to know. Scoured the other XDA forums n found nothing real solid. On our Inc2 through any recovery I've noticed partition SD card. What does this do? What are good numbers to use if done? Benefits if any? Thanx
It allows you to use sd external partitions for installing more apps. Gives you more data. Use an app like link2sd after you partition to create your mount scripts. Then you can use the app to create symlinks for things in your data partition. I have a lot of stuff installed that I would normally not have space for.

Only part that is kinda confusing, to me at least, is when it asks the amount of space used or size of the partition. Any idea whats a good starting point or set of numbers for an Inc2?

depends on how many apps and stuff you plan on installing, honestly, you shouldnt need it

I used a 2 gb partition. I have a 32gb card installed. I think 1gb would have been good. I still have a lot about 400mb free on internal data and about the same on sd-ext.

I did the same as Un1c0de, 2gb on a 16gb card and same result. I dont even think I used a full gb. I guess nice to have in case I go app crazy. lol
Okay, so I'm sure almost everyone read on the XDA portal that the Xperia T has an empty 300 MB partition. So the developers made that partition the recovery partition.
So, I'm wondering why we can't get a recovery partition.
The Xperia S has 32 gigs of inbuilt storage, and that's quite a lot. It's divided, though, so you only get around 24 gigs for the 'sd card'.
But what if we take 300 MB from those 24 gigs?
We could create a whole new partition, just like the Xperia T has!
Any ideas if this would work?
I'm no developer, just thinking out loud... Might help a developer
Not sure it works like that, I don't think internal storage can be re partitioned to be used like that. I think they were able to get it to work on the T because Sony had left 300mb of un partitioned space on the phone. Doomlord said he'd try and get it to work on the S so it might be possible.
What I want to know is this, Xperias have a recovery FOTA partition but access to it is blocked after the boot loader is unlocked, so why is access blocked and is there no way to regain access to it?

FOTA? Whatever that means, as long as it's a partition, I hope we can use it...
I hope Doom really succeeds, we need that partition!

Firmware Over The Air
Wait, there's a separate partition for that?
Okay, I know what FOTA means... When it comes to OTA updates, but an entire partition?
Cool...
So why not just contact Sony and ask them for some help? They are the 'developer friendly company', no?
I don't think we can write to or boot this partition as it is.
Maybe not, but, seriously, why not partition the SDcard...?
It CAN be partitioned and left there abandoned, the question is, can we get it to boot?
Better yet, why not COMPLETELY format the eMMC chip and partition it from scratch? Then we can make it like an HTC device, with the gazillion partitions before boot
