Rom Manager and Partion SD Card

Hey fellas,
I currently have T-mod leedroid 2.2d on my desire. Works fantastic.
My question is: can i simply backup my sd card onto my HD, then use Rom Manager and partition my sd card with 512mb and 0 swap then restore back the files to the sd card?
Will my phone restore to its original state?
Currently i have partial apps stored to sd with delvik in the internal memory.
Thanks,
Brendan

[Q] Custom ROM and New SD Card

Howdy! I wanted to swap over my SD card which is a sandisk class 2 4GB which is partioned for my custom ROM. I'm not too sure what will happen if I partion the new one? I was wondering if I would have to reinstall the ROM if I stuck it in my droid?
On a sort of spin-off. How do I restore my 4GB SD card to stock without partion. (Would I lose the ability to use my ROM if I partition it again after clean partition?)

No need to reinstall ROM. If you have apps on the SD card, then you'll have to reinstall them.
Edit: you have many ways to remove partitions from the SD card. Do you use Windows and have a card reader? If yes you can delete the partitions in Disk management.

[Q] How to format SD card to use as internal memory?

Hello All,
As we all know there a bit slight issue as far as the internal memory of Xperia Arc is concernend.. when I googled on how can we use our SD card to actually increase the internal memory so that we need not move the apps explicitly to the SD card, I came to knw that we need to create a partition on our SD card in ext4 format.. But I dint get the exact way of doing it... so can anybody tell me how we can do it? And does it need to have a custom ROM installed? Does it work on stock ROM also? Please help.. Thanks..

Try Link2SD or AD2SDX.

I tried Link2SD, but my problem was that after creating the new partition in FAT32, the phone won't mount the SD card, and keeps acting as if the SD card removed. When I deleted the second partition, everything went back to normal but without adding to the internal memory (which is the whole point)
I must have done something wrong but can't figure it out.

The second partition is the one that has to be in ext4 format and as logical so your phone will not try to mount it for storage purposes..

upgrading SD card that has S2E

I've got an 8GB SD Card which i plan to upgrade to a 32GB installed in my HTC Desire
Only problem is my Desire running CM7 Official is also running Simple2Ext and Ive installled quite a few apps now (well over the Desires own internal space)
Is there an easy way to upgrade my SD Card and copy the Ext partition from my old 8GB card?

- nandroid backup using your current sd card
- partition your new sd card (4ext or gparted)
- copy everything from old sd card to new sd card (you'll only see the FAT32 partitions in windows, just copy everything you can see, as this will include the nandroid backup)
- insert new sd card and nandroid restore (will restore your ext partition as before)
not tried this with s2e, but should work

Yes this method works brilliantly as I used it personally couple of times in past.

You have to partition you 8GB card in the same manner of the smaller one (sd-ext big at least the same or bigger + the same swap) if you want to use it with the old rom. You just have to put your old rom backup on the new sd card, and then from recovery do advanced restore-just sd-ext cause everything else is still on the phone.
If you want to flash a new rom, the only requirement for partitioning of the new card is requirements of the rom developer.

I don't know what recovery you use but I recommend 4ext (go to 4ext.net, download recovery updater app, install it to your phone and from app flash recovery.img).
First copy all you have on your fat32 part of sd card to your PC.
Then do a complete nand backup from recovery.
Copy backup folder (from clockwork/backup folder) and 4ext folder you made to your PC.
Copy 4ext folder from your PC to your new sd card (using card reader on your PC)
Turn off the phone and remove old sd card.
Put the new sd card into phone.
Reboot phone into recovery (power+volume down and then select recovery).
Choose tools then partition sd card and remove all and start from scratch.
Choose size and type of sd-ext I recommend 1gb ext4, skip second ext and choose size for swap if you want qnd rest of the sd card fat 32.
Let 4ext execute everything.
When it's done go to main menu and choose toogle usb storage.
Create folder clockworkmod/backup on you sd card.
Copy your nand backup folder you stored on you pc to that folder.
Choose disconnect to unmount sd card.
Choose backup/restore option.
Choose advanced restore and restore only sd-ext.
Voila, it easier to spend 30min of my time then to search a little and find everything already written.:banghead:
Thanks for your support.
