Help with sd ext partitioning

Ok so this all started when I switched from Cyanogen to Fresh 3.2. I used Amon Ra's Recovery to wipe and because it said to so a full wipe I figured I had to wipe evey option on Amon Ra's Recovery including sd ext. When I did That I got and error that said "Error: run "wipe ext" from abd!". I read somewhere that that wasn't going to be a problem so I continued loading the rom and it booted fine. I ran into problems later on when I tried installing Backbreakers. I got an error in the notification bar that said "installation unsuccessful". I later got the same message when trying to install Angry Birds. I've learned from other threads that those games should work fine on Fresh's roms. I now have the newest Fresh rom and still have the same problem. Just recently I found out that I shouldn't have wiped sd ext partition if I didn't have one setup. Now, I never set one up myself, but maybe one was setup automatically through one of the roms I had used. Now I want to fix the problem with my Sd ext partition (I know I'm not using The term correctly because I no nothing about it) and find out what it does. If anyone could help me understand what an sd ext partition is and how to solve my problem I would be very thankful.

You can set it up in Ra recovery. It's very easy. Make sure you back up your sd card to your computer cuz partitioning will wipe it.
Download DarkTremor from HERE
Select Partition SD card from the recovery menu
The first option is for a swap file which we dont really need so set it to 0MB
The next is for your ext partition. 256MB should be plenty but if you've got a large SD card feel free to go higher.
After that's done, you can upgrade it from ext2 to ext3 which isnt necessary.
Boot up the phone or mount sd card from recovery and place the DarkTremor file you downloaded on your sd card and flash as you would a rom.
After the phone boots up you can open a Terminal Emulator and type:
su (then press enter)
You should see a # symbol. Now type:
a2sd cachesd
This will move dalvik cache to your sd card and free up even more memory. Just remember to wipe ext partition before flashing a new rom and I believe you'll need to flash the DarkTremor file again after you flash a new rom. Your ext partition will remain. Hope this helps. If you have any more questions most can be answered in the DarkTremor thread or feel free to PM me.

Wow thanks for the great info. I'm going to do this hopefully it will fix my problem. What is an sd partition for anyways or what does it do? I have the 6gb sd card that came with my evo goe much space should I put for my ext partition? Thanks for all of the help.

The ext partition is a physical memory area in your sd card which is formated the same as the internal memory of the phone. Not like the rest of the sdcard. The limits are set on the rest of the card so the stuff in the ext with it's sequential byte order won't be over-written by the pc-like low-high byte order of the rest. Stuff can be logically assigned to the ext partition by the OS. At startup a find is issued on the partition, if it's there then automatically Fresh's / tremor's ap2sd "program" puts portions of applications on the sdcard. You can manually augment what gets put into the ext partition by issuing commands. Aps2sd was important on devices with limited internal memory.

Forgot to mention, its recommended you use a class 4 SD card or faster. I'm not certain what the consequences are but when I ran a2sd on my G1 with a class 2, the phone would crash.

[Q] Partitioning and Flashing Backups

I was wondering if I were to partition my SD card is I can restore a nandroid backup and would it install the rom to my SD card or do I have to pretty much start fresh once I partition?

Yes u can restore a nand backup after u partition, just remember to back up your SD card to your pc because when u partition, it'll erase the SD

Once you flash the .zip (ROM)
Its on your phone not your sd card anymore the zip will still be there but the ROM is on the phone unless you have a God Mode I think they run off of an ext2 on your sd .
And yes you can restore a backup after you partition.
I hope that makes sense to you.

I was more or less wondering if I were to back up my phone right now, then partition my SD card. IF I restored that backup will I see the benefit of the added space on my phones internal memory?

If the ROM your on supports dta2sd when you install your backup you can run the command in terminal emulater
su
a2sd reinstall
And that will move all your apps to your sd card.
Edit: If the ROM doesn't have it you can flash dta2sd after you restore your backup it will bootloop a few times if you do thats normal.

Im on Synergy Nightlies and im not completely sure what it supports. Im more or less just looking to free up some internal space on my phone since Sense 3.0 takes up a lot of space.

That ROM should have dta2sd you might just want to make a backup and after you partition and put everything back on your sd card restore your backup when you boot up go into terminal emulater and type.
su "enter"
a2sd reinstall "enter"
If you get an error try flashing dta2sd beta 4.
That command will move all your apps to your sd don't type the "enter" .
Edit: I just had a thought that synergy might use the cm a2sd and I don't think you can run commands in TE but I'm not 100% on that just ask in that thread.

Partitioning SD card question

If I use Dredz method of partitioning my SD card, do I still need to flash the DT a2sd? Or will my partition work just fine without it? Also, could someoen go into detail the difference, and maybe benefits of each? Thanks

it depends if the rom comes with any type of a2sd(most roms do) then you shouldnt have to flash dta2sd with the rom. With dta2sd it gives you more features like you can move dalvik cache to sdcard,external,and cache. You can move all your apps back and forth from your ext to internal.

So with just dredz method, I can just move apps 2 sd, and nothing else?
Which I think thats All I will need. I am on warm 2.3 with low internal mem right now, so just trying to make some space.

Warm 3.5 comes with cma2sd so you don't have to do anything. All you need is a partitioned sdcard and the Rom will do everything on its own
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Partitioning your card doesn't automagically give you the ability to move apps to the ext partition, you will need either a rom with the mod baked in or a script such as DTa2sd and terminal emulator to manage the ext partition
We are legion, for we are many.

A2SD questions

If I do not have a partition for A2SD installed, and I run an a2sd script to enable it on a ROM, and move an app to the SD, does it still get fully moved to the SD? And can someone shed a little more light on this situation, with no partition space, but moving apps 2 sd/
Also, if I move an app to an sd, but do not wipe the sd:ext partition or sd card, but wipe all data partitions, will the app + its data be there if i flash a new rom?

i never wipe sd ext and all my apps are there for recovery once my new rom is up and running. As far as A2SD, i think you have to be partitioned for it to work. And the partition sdext2 must be upgraded to ext3. here is a walkthrough on how to partition your sd card... very easy this is how i did it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158993&highlight=partition+sd+card
Also if you are not using aomn_ra recovery id suggest using that instead of clockwork. some roms or kernels recommend flashing only with amon_ra

Here's the Amon-RA recovery which you can still flash CWM recoveries if you choose to http://www.mediafire.com/?6eo9jo7fdazp2 you may also want to read the thread on partitioning your SD card mentioned above

Some say ext 3 deteriorates the life of your sd card because it's constantly writing. I use ext 2 and it works perfectly.
Aside from that you must have a ROM and kernel that supports a2sd as well as swap if you choose to use it. Simply flashing the a2sd script won't work if neither conditions are met

OOPS forgot to mention that part. Aren't most non stock roms set up for a2sd? I haven't run into one yet that wasnt. I was under the impression that it had to be upgraded to ext3.

Ok so if I move my SMS app to ext-2 or ext-3, then if I wipe it all but that, and flash a new rom, they should be there on the new rom?

It does not have to be ext 3 to use a2sd. And some roms don't support it or they just don't have it installed
It would still be there, but the symlink won't I believe
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

symlink? What is that?

When you move apps to the partition, which is automatic, it creates a symlink in the drawer telling the down where the app is
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

And how does that have to do with its data?

Basically DT a2sd just sets up sym links from the normal place the apps folder would be to a location on your ext2/3 partition on your SD card. From the perspective of Android it just thinks the folder is in the normal location it is supposed to be then (even though under the covers the underlying Linux OS is actually reading/writing the SD card). This applies to both the apps plus there data if they store it in the normal location (some apps write their data to the normal part of the SD card in which case the data would still go there).
So, if you switch ROMs and that ROM has A2SD support, it should detect the SD-Ext partition and re-setup this sym link for you when you install the ROM and you will then have all your apps back (plus any uninstallable apps the ROM includes should go there). If your ROM doesn't support A2SD out of the box, as long as the kernel supports ext2/3 (whichever you formatted your SD card with) you should be able to flash DT a2sd after you flash the ROM and then run the a2sd script as root to set up the link to put the apps on the SD-ext partition again (I think this will preserve the apps that are there, but honestly haven't done it myself so you should make a nandroid of the SD-ext partition before doing this if you want to make sure you won't have to re-install your apps).
Hope this helps some.

[Q] EXT-4 gone from sd after install of HTC Desire PARANOIDANDROID Woh 4.2.2

Hi There,
First off, this is my second time installing a custom ROM and I had someone else Root this phone but I used revolutionary to S-Off. I haven't installed a custom kernel and it's running clockworkmod 2.5.07.
I flashed and installed PARANOIDANDROID Woh 4.2.2 -------------------------------------->[v. 3.10b2/7th/March/2013] as per the instructions. Before starting I formatted the microsd card to 512mb of EXT4 with remaining 6.whatever Gig's of Fat32 (I used Minitool Partition Wizard on Win 7). Both were set as primary, while Fat32 was set to active, EXT4 was set to none (didn't think it made a difference?).
Everything installed fine, however, I first noticed issue when i went to run the terminal script for a2sd and it said it was read only (as attached). I tried to change permission to read/write and that didn't work. Then I realized after mounting USB storage connecting to Win 7 and opening Minitool Partition (because sd wouldn't show in My Computer) that all that was left on the micro sd was the FAT32 partition and nothing else.
So where do I go from here? I haven't added any Google account yet or did much else because there is only 14.65MB on internal now and I obviously can't send anything to sd and although I thought GAPPS went to sd in some form I guess not.
Can I recreate the EXT4 and push anything that was originally supposed to be on that partition onto it and then start installing apps there?... or do I need to repartition and reflash everything?
Also if I need to reflash, how can I ensure the same thing doesn't happen with the micro sd?
CWM wasn't formatting when I was trying to partition from Cyanogenmod 7 running Gingerbread (although then I read that CWM has bugs and could patition NAND and brick phone) so Minitool was my only sort of n00b option despite that I was having some issues but it seemed to be all fine before flashing 4.2.2.
Hopefully the attached photos will provide any further info you need to help.
Truly appreciate your help! This is my GF's Desire and I've been in the dog house playing with it all week (Cyanmod 7 was killing battery and was buggy, even stable version).
Thanks in advance once again!
** UPDATE ***
I just used my SD adapter directly into Win 7 and it's showing both partitions in Minitool and the Fat32 is available in My Computer showing music folders etc. However, the script for A2sd still never worked in Terminal Emulator saying "sh: can't create N: read-only file system"
So it appears the partition and the data is there and available but does the above message mean I can't send apps to the sd because it's read only?
Thanks again :S

Well one of your mistakes may have been using mini tool partition wizard. Many users have reported it's unreliability, and i've also had bad experiences with it in the past.
I would recommend using gparted to delete all partitions, and then using it to format the whole card to fat32.
Then install 4ext recovery instead of cwm, and use that create the ext4 partition.
If you need help on installing+using 4ext to create the sd-ext partition check out this guide
Finally do a full wipe, reflash the ROM, and activate a2sd through terminal emulator using:
Code:

Actually, I just ran your terminal codes above and that worked without reformatting or flashing!! It moved something like 94 or 96 apps and now shows 139 MB of internal storage!! Wow, I'm sooo excited. Imagine a n00b installing the latest version of Android on what is basically the original Android flagship HTC Desire/Nexus One!
BTW Should the developer maybe update with your script above vs the one listed which didn't work for me?
You guys rock!
I will start using GParted though and I assume using the liveimage USB would be best for me.
Now, I have to decide if I want to root my S3. I have 6 months left of my 1 year warranty so that's the only reason I've been debating it. Although most people say they've never heard Samsung not doing hardware repair just because a device is rooted. That sound about right?
Thanks Again!! So excited I'll end up using the old desire more than my S3!! lol

Despite the fact that it's working now, should I indeed start from scratch before she's gets too comfortable with this? Flash recommended recovery and reformat sd and reflash everything? (since I originally formatted with Minitool)
BTW it appears that when we install apps will they appear to initially go to internal but after reboot they move to sd, is this actually what is happening and we should always reboot after installs and updates? I just installed about 8 apps and the internal shows it's down to 39mb but then upon reboot it's back up to 76.46 (Originally at 139 but I assume it's all app data consuming it).
Do you recommend anything to occasionally clear app data to ensure there is always space?
For the S3 I would love it if you provided a link to root without tripping the flash counter! Gesh, I love Android more and more everyday (never an issue without solution)... this community rocks!

I just tried installing one more app ROM Toolbox (only 8.something MB) and it said insufficent space despite showing the above amount just before install. Before installing or updating anything when I realized the ext was still there, it showed I had 267MB available and I only just installed about 45mb worth of apps, likely updated about 40MB as well. So the ext4 shouldn't be full yet. Could this actually be because of the poor partition?

Ya all that stuff shouldn't be happening. I'm using the same ROM and have non of these issues, so its likely the ext partition.
Your best bet is to start again, and do what I said a couple posts up.

I'm going to attempt this now. First question is that the 4ext instructions say to download the updater, put on sd card and install. Then they instruct you to partition from there. They list the alternative as GParted.
You're saying to use GParted first and then install 4ext to partition. I just want to be sure on this but also if I format first, where I already have apps on sd will this mess anything up not allowing recovery flash or anything?
I suppose once I format the sd based on the current a2sd rom that only recovery will function. Just want to be sure on steps.

i said to use gparted to delete all the partitions, then use 4ext to make the ext partition. But now that i think about it, its probably more efficient to use gparted to do everything. So just follow the gparted method in the guide.
I would recommend creating a 1gb ext4 partition and whatevers left fat32. Also theres no need to make a swap partition for this rom.
Its perfectly fine to format the card even with the apps on it. Again just to recap this is basically what you should do:
1. Use gparted to completely wipe all partitions on the card just for a clean start, then create the fat32 and ext4 partitions (use the guide)
2. Once the partitioning is done, put the rom + and gapps on the card (on the fat32 partition)
3. Put the sd into the phone, boot into recovery and choose wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, then go to advanced and wipe dalvik
4. Flash the rom and gapps
5. Once the rom is flashed reboot and give it a couple minutes to settle. Then run these commands in terminal:
Code:
su
a2sd install
y
n
y
6. From then on, all apps you install should automatically go to the ext partition. I'd also still recommend installing 4ext recovery...i find it better for the desire than cwm.

he used minitool to partition the card which may have corrupted it. Wouldnt it be safer to start fresh using gparted to wipe all the partitions, so that he wont have any further issues in the future?

minitool just doesnt align it properly, just use 4ext recovery. so all he has to do is save whatever from the sdcard to pc then partition sdcard with 4ext and it will be done right. trust me, if he flashes 4ext recovery then in recovery, goto tools and check partition alignment and i bet it will say ur partitions are not aligned properly. i tried minitool ages ago to see what all the fuss was about it being sh1te and 4ext said that my partitions aint aligned so i re partitioned with 4ext and all was fine again.

Well this is welcoming because 4ext seems much easier for a n00b like me if it'll work just as well.
I was going to do a 2gb ext4 partition, is that okay versus 1gb?
Btw do you recommend any custom kernel with the desire in this rom? I noticed it is a bit laggy at times and sometimes requires a few taps before certain things activate. Maybe kernels are a little too advanced for me now though?
Or maybe some cpu tweaks or anything. I do own ROM toolbox.

Anything over 1.5gb for the ext partition is not recommended, so you probably shouldn't do 2gb.
The kernel that comes with the ROM is usually the best for the ROM, and theres not much you can do about the speed in jb roms. Ive tried the supercharger script but i honestly didnt notice any increase in speed. If your looking for a faster ROM use gingerbread.
Also dont mess around too much in rom toolbox if u dont know what your doing, you might get stuck in a boot loop and you will have to reflash the ROM.

All had worked out well and indeed the original minitool said the fat32 wasn't properly aligned. The only thing which keeps aborting is the calendar fix. I noticed chrominum's post about corrupted for our sd, redownload, check md5 and reflash. If doesn't work reformat sd, clear everything repartition and try again.
I did all that and same thing. It doesn't say why it won't work but just aborting per attached.
It did work for me previously in cwm. I only installed the last rc and not the testing version of 4ext.
