How do you set up a2sd correctly? Please Help!

I am running Myn's rom and cannot figure out how to set up the a2sd correctly. Can anyone help me with this? Please!

Make sure your sd card is partitioned then download darktremor a2sd. I flash it after a clean install then go to the market download terminal emulator its free. Then type "su" then hit enter it should ask for superuser permission accept then type "a2sd cachepart" then it will do the rest and automatically reboot and your good

Please help me with this...so lost.
Rom: Myn's Warm 2.2 RLS4
Kernel: "2.6.32.15-netarchy-toastmod-4.9.1-cfs [email protected] #8"
I've tried this:
This is how I got my apps2sd to work.
1. BACK UP YOUR MEMORY CARD TO YOUR COMPUTER
2. Using AmonRa's recovery
3. Boot into recovery mode
4. Select Partition SD card
4. Set: 512 Ext: 1024
5. let it finish select SD:ext2 to ext3
6. go back to usb-ms toggle
7. Put all your stuff back on your memory card now
8. I went to Wipe data/factory reset then wipe cache, wipe Dalvik-cache and finally wipe SD:ext partition.
9. Then flash the rom and let it boot all the way up
10. Reboot into Recovery
11. I flashed kings bfs #9 and Baked #6 and both work (may work with stock kernal, but have not tryied it)
12. reboot
13. connect usb to phone and using adb type (IF ADB IS NOT WORKING FOR YOU USE THE INSTRUCTION BELOW IN RED)
Code:
adb shell
then
Code:
/system/bin/a2sd check
you should see some properties
scroll down and look to see if dalvik cache is run on sd card if not type
Code:
a2sd cachesd
the phone will reboot by itself
If phone is stuck in boot screen, kernal may not support apps2sd, try to install a other kernal.
once again using adb type
Code:
adb shell
then
Code:
/system/bin/a2sd check
make sure dalvik cache is now running on sdcard
also check to see if Zipalign is set to boot if not type
Code:
a2sd zipalign
And I've tried this:
1. Download the program from the previous post.
2. Determine if you have setup your sd card with an ext partition
if you have setup your sd card already (existing users of a2sd...any version):
A. Copy the program to your sd card.
b. Reboot into recovery
if you have not setup your sd card (for those new to a2sd):
A. backup your sd card to your computer. can't stress this enough, as partitioning will wipe the entire card.
B. Reboot into recovery
c. In android system recovery, select partition sdcard
d. In the partition sdcard menu, select partition sd
e. Follow the instructions on the phone to partition your sd card. You can optionally set a swap file while you are partitioning your sd card.
F. In the partition sdcard menu, select sd:ext2 to ext3. Follow the instructions on the screen.
G. only perform this step if you want ext4 and your rom supports it: in the partition sdcard menu, select sd:ext3 to ext4. Follow the instructions on the sdcard.
h. Press the back button on the phone to go back to the main menu.
I. Put the a2sd file on the sd card (and all your other files you backed up earlier) by selecting usb-ms toggle and transfer the files to your computer.
3. In recovery, select flash zip from sdcard.
4. In flash zip from sdcard, select the a2sd package file you downloaded earlier. Press home to flash.
5. Reboot phone.
And it still shows my apps are taking up internal storage. What the hell am I doing wrong? Please help me out with this, it's starting to drive me nuts. I can't have all my games on my phone, let alone market apps. Please and thankyou.

Correct - you are not partitioned. Do this from above:
1. BACK UP YOUR MEMORY CARD TO YOUR COMPUTER ( as in - copy/paste)
2. Using AmonRa's recovery
3. Boot into recovery mode

IIrc asec is where the froyo apps2sd hack stores its stuff. So ignore it, wrong byte order for fat32, -hack- but no readable data so the kernel can retrieve lost symlinks to apps - hack-

[Q] Few questions about flashing custom ROM.

Hi all,
Successfully rooted my Desire today using Unrevoked method.
Since I quite like the Sense UI, I've decided on flashing the "[FroYo Sense] LeeDrOiD V2.3b (17/12 l Official l OC&UV l FAST l STABLE l WWE)" ROM.
My phone software details are as mentioned in the signature.
a. Can I flash Leedroid without upgrading radio, etc?
b. How exactly do I format my SD card in ext3 partition? [Can't find a tutorial/thread to do the same.] --
Also, regarding using gparted in linux, do I directly, say use card reader/connect the phone and format? Since I have a 16GB SD card, I intend to have a 1 GB ext3 partition.
What exactly does "Flash Rom (you may need to toggle signature verifacation)" mean? :-o
and
"# Flash Radio (unless you already have it)"??
I am following the steps/instructions from this link - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768703
Thanks in advance.

Radio is fine (don't flash any radio until you really know what you are doing), to toggle signature verification go, in recovery, to 'install zip form sd' there is the option to toggle verification.
How to partition your sd cared with gparted is mentioned enough, do some more searching. There are also some videos on youtube on how to do it. If you have the ability to use a cared reader use it.

So, with the radio version I have, I can still flash LeeDroid ROM, right?

Although, it is said that flashing the radios recommended by the dev would be better for battery life, but I guess it is quite open to interpretation.
You could also try using Rom Manager (by ClockworkMod) to partition your SD card through your phone. That's what I did. Less hassle (probably?) than using gparted or installing additional software on your PC.

ROM Manager (from the market) is your friend.....
Will allow you to partition an EXT3 (up to 512mb - Im still trying to figure out how to create a 1GB partition) and then will allow you to flash LeeDroid ROM.
ROM Manager is very simple to use. Just copy the ROM (zip) to a folder on your SD card, use ROM Manager to create your EXT3, do a NANDROID backup (!!!), and then flash the ROM.
Best bet is to backup your apps and data first (use Titanium ?).
LeeDroid ROM is great

To easily create your partition up to 1024 MB, you can use an Ubuntu live cd of GParted by either burning it to a cd or boot it from a usb stick: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download.
Or, you use it from within Ubuntu (vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVK-tJe8pXE&feature=related)
1) Connect your phone to your computer (or use an SD Card adapter...., in this case skip to 4)
2) Pull down the notification bar and mount the phone
3) Start Gparted
4) Gparted will search available drives. (Your phone should show up as a USB drive, and will be something like /dev/sdb1 or /dev/sdc1, etc..)
Warning: double-check you've not selected a hdd by mistake!
5) In the upper right corner, select the correct USB device for your phone. (i.e. check to make sure it is correct size for your SD card)
6) Right click on each partition and select 'unmount'
7) Right click on each partition and select 'delete'
If you know what you are doing, you can re-size the partitions and add a new 2nd partition formatted as ext2/3/4
8) Right click on the big gray bar (should say unallocated x.xx gb) and click 'new'
9) Enter configurations
Free Space preceding = 0
Create as = Primary
New size = [don't touch]
File system = fat32
Free Space Following = 512 (or whatever you want)
10) Click add
11) Right click on the big gray bar (should say unallocated x.xx gb) and click 'new'
12) Enter configurations
Free Space preceding = 0
Create as = Primary
New size = [don't touch]
File system = ext2/3/4 (recommend ext4)
Free Space Following = 0 (or ~32 if you want swap)
Click add
13) Click edit, then 'Apply All Operations' to write changes to disk
14) Quit GParted
15) Unmount your SD Card
16) Reboot your phone
You could also use Amon-Ra custom recovery to do this by flashing it with unrEVOked.

its the Linux bit that scares me I work in IT but have never touched a LINUX OS so im a bit daunted

Hi, if you have win7 use arcronis disc director home, its the easyest way, i did so, and i'm a non it

It is very easy to follow the instructions posted above, I even linked a YouTube video for you and gave you a link on how to create the live cd. You should be fine, give it a go
You won't believe how easy it is... its just because you are unfamiliar with the OS platform.
If you are really struggling, then try this method but be careful as you will be connecting via USB to the PC and executing an automated script (batch file). While the batch file i running, do not disconnect the USB cable while in recovery mode:
1. Turn on your phone while holding the volume down button.
2. You will see HBOOT on the screen.
3. Use the volume buttons to move up and down and power button to select the RECOVERY option.
4. You will now see a red triangle on the screen, at this point plug your phone into your PC via your microUSB cable.
5. Wait for 10-15 seconds and then double click on recovery-windows.bat inside the pushfiles_windows.zip folder you unzipped as part of the root process. pushfiles_windows.zip
6. Using the optical trackpad select Partition sdcard > Partition SD
7. Select SWAP=0, EXT2=1024 and allow the rest to be FAT32.
8. Select the SD:ext2 to ext3 option in this menu.
9. Go back to the Recovery Console main menu and select Reboot system now. While rebooting, unplug the Desire from the USB port.
Windows Pushfiles attached below for you.

Thank you all! And MasDroid, thanks for the detailed instructions. I do have Ubuntu on my desktop. Tried formatting on a spare SD card using GParted and seems to be just the perfect thing. I'll do some more reading before flashing the phone. I do have some more doubts. Wanna make sure that I know what am doing.

@ wilbur-force
Dont know, a friend of mine gave my arcronis, think it was the full version. G-parted did not find my cardreader. And the 512mb whit rom manager was not enough space for me. Sorry for my bad english...
Its my 3rd language

Are the following steps in order and correct (to flash LeeDroid ROM)?
a. Create Nandroid and Titanium backup of the phone.
b. Copy the contents of SD card to a folder onto the PC.
c. Format the SD card with FAT32 and ext3 partition (A2SD+)
d. Copy the LeeDrOiD_V2.3b_A2SD ZIP folder to the SD card (root)
e. Insert the SD card to the phone and boot into recovery
Doubt here: Do I need to 'Wipe Data / Factory Reset' again??
f. Install zip from SD Card.
g. Choose zip from SD Card.
h. Reboot System Now.
Are these steps correct?
Also, after flashing how do I restore the Nandroid/Titanium backup? Do I have to copy the contents (step b) back to the phone and boot into recover and "restore" using Clockwork MOD??
Thanks!

Yes correct order.
Wipe again? In your list I can't find the first factory reset, but yes you should wipe data/factory reset, cache and dalvik cache (under advanced) at that point.
After flashing you can restore your apps with titanium, restoring the nandroid (in recovery) will revert your phone back to the state it was of the nandroid so leedroid will be gone. Personally i don't use titanium so can't tell you how to do that, but i sync my apps with appbrain and reinstall them again after flashing.
I do know that is you want to use titanium the backup needs to be copied back to the sd card.

Do I have to do a factory reset from recovery at first?
Also after formatting the SD card with the FAT32 and ext3 partitions, do I copy back the previous contents of the SD card back to the phone along with the LeeDroid ROM?

Not before the nandroid if you meant that, wipe before flashing leedroid. So once you're in recovery to flash the rom, first wipe data/factory reset, cache and dalvik cache and then flash leedroid in the same session (without rebooting).
Best is to copy back the contend of the sd card, however if you want to start with a clean cart you can also just copy back the clockworkmod folder and the titanium folder.

Thanks again mate.
So here's another of my doubt -- say, I copy the LeeDroid ROM to the SD and boot into recovery to flash the ROM and do a factory reset, would this not delete the ROM also from the SD card? My first ROM flashing and hence these doubts :-o
Thanks for your patience.
Can I just copy back the Titanium backup folder after booting into LeeDroid ROM? :-o

Sd card won't be affected by a factory reset nor by flashing.
You can copy the titanium folder whenever you want.

[Q] Need a little help installing CyanogenMod & EXT4

I'm trying to turn my phone into a fast AOSP with EXT4. From what I've read, CyanogenMod & EXT4 is the way to go. My previous phone was a TP2 with XDAndroid, so I can work around some things not working.
Here's how I'm trying to get it going, and it keeps hanging at the SAMSUNG logo when I power it on:
1: Download ROM & Apps from android.stolenrobot.com/Epic4G/epic.htm
2: One click root 3.0.0.6
3: Copy CyanogenMod, Google apps, to root of SD card
4: Reboot into CW, let it reformat EXT4.
5: Wipe data/factory reset
6: Wipe cache partition
7: Install zip from sd card, choose CyanogenMod. Let it do it's thing
8: Install zip from sd card, choose apps zip, let it run
9: Reboot - Hangs at SAMSUNG - WTF?
Thanks for any help!

Sorry, disregard, I wasn't flashing the kernel. That should have been after step 6 & before step 7. Did that, and everything's working so far. Just set up my gmail info, so it's looking good!

[Q] Synergy RLS1 won't load

I did a back up of Synergy RLS1 then went to MIUI and decided to go back to Synergy but every time I try it gets stuck on the white HTC EVO screen. I tried going to Fresh then to Synergy but the same thing happened.
Could it be that the rom just has a lot to restore and takes a long time? The most I waited was like 15 minutes.

Mitch, how long are you waiting at the EVO boot screen? The reason I ask is because the initial bootup for Synergy can be quite long and you will appear to hang at BOTH the boot screen AND the Synergy splash screen. I suggest doing the following to successfully flash RLS-1 (non G mode):
1. If you are not using amonRA v2.3, download its PC36IMG.zip from my signature and flash it via the bootloader.
2. If you will be installing a great deal of apps & games, I highly recommend that you create an ext3 partition from within recovery. This is 'optional' and IS NOT necessary. If you choose to create an ext3 partition, follow the directions below:
a. Transfer the contents of your SD card to a computer or external device because this will erase EVERYTHING on it.
b. While in recovery (amonRA v2.3), select 'partition sdcard' and when prompted, enter zero for the SWAP, 1024 for the ext2 and the rest for FAT and when the process is finished, select 'upgrade ext2 to ext3'.
3. Go to amonRA's wipe menu and wipe everything on the list except the SD card, but if you just created the ext3 partition then include it to be wiped.
4. Download a fresh copy of Synergy RSL-1 (non G mode) using your computer and then transfer it over to your device via a USB cable and then by selecting the 'USB-MS' option. After the transfer is complete, disengage.
5. Flash the rom and then be patient during the initial boot process. Be mentally prepared to wait up to 20 minutes even though it shouldn't take that long.
6. Enjoy the rom.

Nice guide man.

Thanks Doug. I had it working at one point just using clockwork recovery, just when I flashed to a different rom I couldn't flash back for some reason. I'll try your way tomorrow ... thanks again!

Definitely props to that guide.+1
@mitch,if your using the godmode version,you MUST flash RAs recovery.it seems to be the only recovery compliant to GodMode.im running it now,i had to reflash RAs recovery,because i got that same issue a few mins ago using TWRP teamWin recovery.hope this helps.

You may use any ROM available in development. Before you get flashing-happy, let me give you a few tips:
Download AmonRa as a PC36IMG.zip and put it on the root of your SD card (meaning not in any folders or anything). Get into HBOOT. It will check for certain files and find the PC36IMG.zip and ask if you want to update. Choose yes. It will ask if you want to reboot. Say yes. The phone will reboot. Delete AmonRa off of your SD card.
Get to HBOOT again. Navigate with the volume buttons to recovery. Power button to select. This will take you to recovery.
Make a nandroid (Backup, Nandroid Backup, choose everything except for cache).
Plug up the phone to your computer. Choose mount as MS. Back up everything you have on your phone to your computer.
I am assuming you are using the stock 8-gigabyte card.
Partitioning your SD card: (helps alleviate the phone, stores data on the sd card) (PARTITIONING WILL DELETE EVERYTHING OFF YOUR CARD SO BACK UP EVERYTHING TO YOUR COMPUTER BEFORE)
Back up everything on your SD card to your computer.
Boot into AmonRa.
Select "Partition SD Card". You will be prompted to set an amount for Swap and ext2. The rest of the card will be FAT32, which is normal storage space for everything else.
Select 512 megabytes for swap
Select 1024 or 2048 for ext2 and the rest for FAT
After process finishes, select "Upgrade ext2 to ext3".
After process finishes, DO NOT CHOOSE TO UPGRADE TO ext4. Do NOT do it. DO NOT DO IT
Go to the wipe menu and wipe EVERYTHING there. Three times.
From main menu, select USB-MS and copy your files back to your SD card. You don't have to transfer files like android.secure and Android and temporary files, only what you need.
Download a ROM of your choice, I suggest Team Nocturnal's Stock if you want stock. But I highly encourage you to try out different ROMs.
Do not extract ROM. They need to be .zip
Transfer to your SD card while phone is mounted as MS.
Unmount phone from computer.
Choose "flash zip from SD card"
Navigate to ROM.
Select with power button. Let it run its course.
Reboot.
Initial boot will take a while. Let it be.
Once everything is booted up, do setup and reboot.
This is total overkill, but it will help hopefully. You only need to partition your SD card once so I am helping you do it the first time

Currently using MIUI 1.9.9.

Nice wright up but not sure if he will need 512mb swap I only did 32mb but to each his own.
Also make sure to wipe before you flash a ROM (factory reset/data/system/boot/cache/dalvik cache/android secure/( and sdext if your partitioned))

Haha you are probably right about the swap size. I have a 16-gig card and have a 3-gig ext3 and 1.5-gig swap. Ridiculously big, never gonna need it.
And another piece of advice: do not trust Superwipe scripts to do everything for you. Wipe everything except for SD card. At least once. I do it twice usually.
