Stock with a2sd?

Got an EVO for my wife, rooted it. She wants to keep it stock, but wants more space. Can I use a2sd on a stock root, or do I need to flash a stock rooted Rom that supports a2sd.

I would flash a stock rooted rom. I had trouble with getting root apps to work with the rom that I rooted myself. Then as you flash the rom flash the darktremor a2sd beta 4 and you should be good to go. Make sure to make a .5-1gb ext3 partition on her sdcard with amon-ra 2.3 recovery before flashing it tho

If your card is already partitioned you can use an app called 'link2sd' it works well on roms that don't have a2sd baked in and you don't need to flash anything. Its not for some people but its an option.

Cant mount system in CWM

Hi
I cant mount system to make backups..
Anyone knows how to fix??
Im running gioprio 1.4
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium

That happened to me, when I was using the "stock" cwm with CM7.1.
I had to flash another cwm which came with the rom. Maybe you should look around if the Giopro rom has one too.
(Or just simply try to flash a newer version)

I will try, do you know if gioprio uses rfs or ext4 file system??

I never used it, so I have no idea. But this post suggests, there are problems with ext4:

The changelog however says, 1.4 supports EXT3/EXT4

Sd-ext not mounting scripts

I am using the ICS Beta from Sony with Dooms advanced stock kernel, I got a ext3 partition and when I use link2sd its creates mount scripts but when phone reboots it says not mounted And in root explorer nothing shows in sd-ext either.

from my experience if the kernel does not setup the sd-ext folder sd-ext will not mount. i have yet to find a ics kernel with it built in.

Stock kernels don't typically have support for startup scripts like this.

link2SD does not use the SD-Ext directory even if your 2nd partition is EXT 2/3/4. It is most prob kernel related, to be sure format your 2nd partion as FAT32, That file system can be used with link2SD and is natively supported by android.

[Q] Which recovery for CM9?

My current recovery does not format SD-ext properly for ext4.
That's why S2E does not see sd-ext. Which recovery is the best?

Use PX recovery

RFS is used by the stock system. Recoveries for the Gio use EXT4.
You can't backup a stock system.

I dont know if you can backup your stock rom, but here is a cwm recovery that uses both ext4 and rfs filesystems. https://www.dropbox.com/s/vktioap6ddvj31p/signed_cwm-5.0.2.7-flashablezip-ext4 rfs.zip

Can I Install a custom rom with my current cwm recovery?

Yes you can, but make sure you use ext4 formatter before flashing

What is purpose of ext4 formatter?

Format your rfs file system to ext4, so you can flash a custom rom.
