[Q] Partitioning before flashing ROM? - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am a bit noob so go easy on me...
I have my wildfire rooted and wit CMD 7.1 RC but i whant to try other ROMS. The one I want is RUYMANCA 7.2.
In his post he talks about partitioning but i don't really understand how this should be done.
Do i do it after flashing or before?
Does the "a2sd" command does this automatically?
How can I do it?
Can someone give me a small step-by-step?
Thanks in advance

Partitioning is necessary only if you want to use apps2sd scripts.
You can do it from the rom manager or from the recovery. Or you can use pc utilities like "gparted live cd" to partition your memory card.
Sent from my Blade using XDA App

And to complement Bharat: it is not necessairy to install a2sd. It is a script that makes an ext-partition on your sdcard that can be used as an extention of the internal memory. So android will act as if its internal memory is expanded. This is usefull because really all apps can be put on the sd-card. Drawback is of course that your sdcard capacity will be less.
If you ever want to do that, you can easely partition your sdcard from the "advanced" menu in clockworkmod recovery.

Thanks for the answers.
I will try that, then. I'm sure there is a thread that explains the partitioning process, i will try to find it.

Do I need to get S-OFF in order for A2SD to work properly ???
Would appreciate comments pls ...

A2SD/A2SD+ on stock HTC rom ?

Hi all !
OK after reading a lot of stuff on the web (mainly modaco and xda), I finally understood a bit more this Apps2Sd thingy.
Like most people I have an "internal storage" problem on my desire
Now I managed to have fully rooted HTC Desire, with security off even though the bootloader is 0.9x using unrevoked. Great piece of software
Great so far, but I still have a space problem.
After further reading, I finally understood that thestandard Froyo Apps2Sd sucks and still eats up loads of internal memory because apps aren't designed to take advantage of it and a few other reasons but I digress.
So the only solution is to install the unofficial apps2sd or apps2sd+ (the ony diference being that app2sd+ also moves the dalvik cache, right ?)
However, so far, I've only read explanations about using a2sd/a2sd+ with a CUSTOM rom.
Now I know that modaco and xda custom roms are just great (used to test a few with my old acer liquid) but well I'm very satisfied of HTC stock rom indeed. Seriously, I can't see anything to change.
So, I'd like to use a2sd/a2sd+ but avoid going through wiping the phone, falshing a new rom and all...Furthermore, I took some time to link the contacts between gmail and facebook and I wouldn't like to do it again.
Is this possible to use a2sd/a2sd+ using the standard HTC rom, without having to flash a new custom rom ? And if yes, could some kindly explain me how ?
Best regards
D.

Theres the script for apps2sd, not sure if you can just flash the .zip though.
IMO, you might not think there's anything to change until you experience the changes, just get a custom rom and reap the benefits.
No, you need init.d support. Get a custom rom.

Allright, I finally decided to use LeeDroid's rom and, so far so good ! PLenty of free phone memory, with a ton of apps !! Thanks a lot for your usefull comments.
I was in the same predicaent yesterday, but gave up as I had to go out!
I had LeeDroid with A2SD on the phone, but it still ran out of space when I installed Need For Speed... but this was probably because I didn't have my SD Card partitioned.
Am I right when I think that I have to backup my SD Card, then go into ROM Manager and simply format the card in there for A2SD?
I tried this, but I still only see my SD card as 1 partition when I look in Windows 7. Is this right - or should I see 2 partitions?
Sorry for the newb questions - but I want to get it all sorted before I start setting the phone up the way I want!!
Windows cannot see ext type partitions, so this is ok. Yeah, backup, use ROM manager to make the partition, then recopy the backup.
Get Quick System Info from the Market, you'll see there if the ext partition is used afterwards.

Thanks for the reply.
I checked my partition with Quick System Info - and something must've gone wrong as my A2SD partition is only 16mb with only 2mb free!!
What settings am I supposed to use when I use ROM Manager to make the partition? I'm pretty sure I set the first one to 512mb and the second to 0mb like I read somewhere. Is this wrong?
Yeah, thats ok 512mb for apps and 0 for swap. Try it couple times, maybe the ROM manager didn't do it properly for the 1st time. Check with Quick System Info when its done.
Actually, you can use anything you want to format your microSDHC card. I used a computer with linux, a card reader and gparted, and I found it way more straightforward than using the phone to do the job. Gparted is included in Ubuntu and yu even have gparted live disk/usb (go to gparted.sourceforge.net. Sorry can't post links on the forum yet )

Hi,
i was lookin for a solution too and i found it.
I am running on stock rom froyo 2.2 on my htc desire.
16gb micro sd card. - no data loss.
Here is the steps.
HTC desire has to be rooted. and S-OFF (not sure if it works without S-OFF)
Busybox installed.
Next , download Gparted to partition your SD Card. (can run in VM )
Run Gparted, mount your card, USe Gparted to shrink your sd card. (i have my pics and videos inside the card up to 12gb.. and i shrink to 13gb.. It takes a looooong time.. about 13 mins to shink.. thank god my data is still intact..
i partition the extra 1gb.. set it as primary too and then format it as ext2... i have tried ext3 and ext4.. it cant be recognized by Desire.
put back yr SD card.. (if you use a card reader.. or can jus partition using Desire mounted as disk drive)
Next.. download. Link2SD , search in market..
Run the app and it will be able to detect and ask you to select the drive.. ext2 and press ok.
now.. use the app to link up yr app.. those with FRoyo app2sd.. u can click 'move to phone' and then use link2sd to link it..
you will start to see that your internal memory will increase as u move and link more apps using link2SD...
Now go to the link2sd option and set it to 'auto link' new installed app.
once u installed any new app.. it will be linked...
if the app is auto installed to SD card via the Froyo app2sd.. simply go to manage application and move it to phone and the use link2sd to link it..
(no.. you will not see the 1g size when u go under settings, you can check storage under the link2sd app)
Note: once u mount yr Desire as disk drive .. you will need to reboot your phone else if you install any new app.. it will be install to your real internal memory even thou it says linked... if this happens.. you might see low memory notification.. jus reboot your phone.. and when rebooted, it will be re-link automatically..
Cheers! i used to have 15mb left.. now i have 50++ mb.. and yet installed alot of apps.. without flashing a rom.. this will helps if you guys jus need more internal storage and do not wat to risk or go thru the restoration of data..
as usual... before you do anything... do a nandroid backup using clockworkmod recovery or any recovery and also titantium backup to backup the apps data in case anything goes wrong
Phone working well for the past 3 days
That's just AWESOME !! Many thanks for the tip, that's exactly what I was looking for

[Q] Some questions about Desire and custom ROM's

Hi guys.
Well I managed to get root access to my phone which wasn't really hard. And I managed to s-off and backup my files successfully. Now I'd like to deal with the internal memory issue. The question I want to ask you is this one.
If I create 2 partitions with gparted, one fat32 and second ext4 (around 2 gb's), will the ext4 one be considered as internal memory too ?
Then I'd like to install a custom ROM. So the second question is, can all ROM's the internal memory that way. I mean the custom part from the SD card ?
If something is unclear just ask, cause English is not my primary language.
Thanks in advance.
It should be that every ROM has it's own requirements for doing that.
So not every ROM can use approximately 2 GB for internal memory ?
That's what you're saying ?
Yes, for example I use 3GB on my SuperNova ROM, but recommended is 2GB so now I am trying to repair that. If you get me.
Kapiras? xD

Euh, if you ask me I would say it's part of internal memory (when you remove it the apps on ext4 don't work anymore) but i'm not a dev so not sure though
you can see it as an extension to your internal storage capacity..
next, most of the systems to use your ext4 are already included in roms (A2SD, D2EXT) so you don't have to worry about that, they recognise the partition themselves
the only thing you should be aware of is that you pick the right HBoot (don't flash CM7 HBOOT A2SD on a STOCK HBOOT A2SD)
this is normally explained in most ROM posts but i guess with a 2GB part you should be fine for A LOT of different ROMs
extra: there is a nice pic near the end of THIS post what is shifted to the ext partition when you use a certain method
grtz
So like with an app A2SD when not rooted, you can move apps to SD, but when you remove it, part's of it remain in the memory on the SD card.
The link you gave me is for "AD2SDX Special Edition for Sebastiaan15 RunnyMede Desire ROM", exactly what I want to install.
So first I create partitions with gparted. Fully wipe my sd card.
Flash the rom, then flash that AD2SDX zip file.
And it should work fine ?
Thanks for answering mate.

well, with the last version of sebastian15 for CM7 there's no need to flash the AD2SDX zip file, now it comes as an option during install (you'll see )
thus, first you make 2 partitions 1 ext4 of min 1024MB (mine is that size but you can do more if you'd like) an the rest of the sdcard is fat32 .. (mine: 7GB)
then download the right rom (check HBOOT, i have CM7R2 so i can install AIO v1), with Hboot its version 5.3 and you still have to flash the AD2SDX zip if you want it (A2SD is good enough for me )
oh right, don't forget a full wipe

An external partition has nothing to do with hboot.
The only worse thing than people not helping are people helping wrong. This thread is a failure on so many levels that human vocabulary just can't cut it.
Then why don't you help me, or just point me in a right direction ?
Thanks for the answers.
Because information you seeks are essential to know before you attempt to root.
FYI, I have successfully rooted my phone.
And I have managed to install the desired ROM.
And one more question.
I have managed to make 2 partitions.
Fat32 (5,5 gb) and ext4 (2,2 gb), yet the phone recognizes only 5.5 as the SD memory. And the 2,2 are not usable ATM.
What should I do ?
Reading your last comment I can't imagine how could you possibly root it successfully on your own.
GTFO of my thread.
Zealotic, terepin is right in a way. You show no understanding of the ext partition, or flashing, or ROMs. It will never show up. Because it is a separate partition. You'll only ever see the fat32 partition in your phone under sd storage. You need to do some research before you attempt any of this.

[Q] Desire Internal memory

Hi Guys
Found this link:
http://www.andreagrandi.it/2011/08/...emory-to-2gb-using-cyanogenmod-7-and-data2sd/
The only thing is the links are old, just wondering if there is a noobs guide somewhere to do a similar job increasing the internal memory of my Desire.
Thanks
Martin
all you need is to partition your sd card properly, use 4ext recovery or gparted, plenty of guides you can search for. also s-off and install the rom on a suitable hboot to use internal space more efficiently.
the partition is your extra internal memory, just need to use it. virtually all custom roms will have an a2sd script built in for more space for apps, check each rom's thread. some may require terminal commands to activate it, or you can search for various a2sd scripts which effectively do the same thing. some scripts won't appear to actually 'increase' your internal memory. but the partition is still being used for apps, which is all you really need.
in other words, you don't really need a guide to increase the internal memory. the main reason for rooting in the first place is more space for apps. pretty much any custom rom has this facility already.

A2SD will work fine on s-on, just need correctly partitioned sd card, and kernel / Rom which supports init.d script afaik
@OP, how did you create the ext4 partition, follow abaaaabbbb's guide in his sig
Check you have no other a2sd script in system/etc/init.d
Then reboot after you've created new scripts. Check you are using partitions using another app like diskusage

i'm merely saying that it shouldnt matter it you're s-on or s-off, A2SD should work regardless.
you don't need swap partition, ignore it.
I realise now, that if you merely s-off and rooted stock the rom, A2SD may not work because it won't support init.d scripts, i think but not sure.
you can check if it supports A2SD by using a root file explorer, search the market for something like ES file explorer. enable root access and browse to see if there is a folder called system/etc/init.d
if you don't have this folder, you will need a custom rom to use A2SD. you can stick with pre-rooted stock rom with init.d support here. or you can pick a different rom altogether, some have A2SD built in, so you won't have to flash anything else, check each OP.
if you stick with the pre-rooted stock rom i linked, instead of flashing the A2SD script in the OP, you can then use mount2sd OR link2sd, not both. what they do is create a new script in init.d folder to move the apps automatically to partition.
do not use an additional app like the one you posted to move apps to sd. that will move apps to the FAT32 partition of the sd card, not the ext4 partition. you shouldn't have to manually move anything, keep them on 'internal', flashing the scripts automatically tricks them to sd-ext. like i said, use diskusage once everything else is setup to browse your partitions. you won't see your internal memory increasing (so it won't be 147MB + ext4 partition), but the ext4 partition will still be in use.
you'll have to full wipe, so backup everything first before trying any of this.
EDIT: sorry just found this. it adds init.d support to your existing stock rooted rom, should work for any device apparently. can hopefully get A2SD working without having to switch rom.
try:
- nandroid backup (essential)
- flash the init.d mod
- reboot
- install mount2sd OR link2sd, you pick
- reboot
- install diskusage to see if it worked...

like i said, should work for any device. i just read the last few posts to find out. i've not tried it myself, which is why i strongly recommend nandroid backup just in case.
if it doesn't work, just use the other link i posted to stock rooted rom, already with init.d support.

[Q] what non-SD ROM can I use? Probably GB

Hi,
I want to install a ROM which does NOT need a SD card partition. Can someone please advise me?
thanks

I believe mildwilds redux rom works without an ext partition. (someone correct me if im wrong).
Why dont you want an a partition though?...more space is always a good thing, no?

Most ROMs require an sd card partition to make the most of app space, it's not too difficult as long as it's done correctly (using gparted or 4EXT recovery)
However, SuRoot's dGB ROM was specifically designed without an sd card partition. You can use traditional froyo apps2sd to utilise all of your sd card space without partitioning. (or you can flash an a2sd script separately if you do want to use a partition with it)
To make the most of that ROM, you need to be s-off and flash the custom hboot with 60MB /system. That way you get a much larger /data partition (375MB compared to only 147MB on stock)
Details are on his site
I'm selling my Desire
... it isn't how it sounds
I mean the phone!
I've already got a ROM with a partitioned SD card but I am going to flog my Desire on t'bay and want to get it to a non-SD ROM so it isn't too confusing for some unsuspecting buyer.
thanks for the advice

Oh, ok. Just make sure you choose a suitable hboot that will leave lots of space on /data.

Yes, there is a solution. You can add partition to your sd-card and format it as ext4. This you can do via computer (unix program GParted, it's also as a bootable CD, so you don't need to install linux) or via recovery (but NOT clockworkmod recovery, it does it wrong way). Recomended size of this partition is 1 GB. Your rom is probably contains a2sd script, so then you only open Terminal emulator and type "su" and then "a2sd install".

sweet, tnks mate
is there a guide for this in case i do it wrong?
There is a guide, click the troubleshooting guide by bortak in my sig and go to the last page, and ul see a post by abaaaabbbb. In his sig theres the guide he wrote. If u want to do it using recovery then only use 4ext.
