Partitioned sd. Now what? - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have partitioned the sd through cwm recovery to have that partition for the apps instalations. How do I make it work? Is there any command to move them to that partition or do the "move to the sd card" option does the thing?

there are several different methods. [Script][A2SD]Darktremor 2.7.5.3 Beta 04 [Buzz] is the one used by most users I guess (correct me if I'm wrong). A second one (done by an app from market but does almost the same thing) is S2E (link in my sig).
A good starting point is to a) search the forums (starting in "General" and "Q&A" sections) and b) to bookmark [REF/GUIDE] [29/07] The Complete Wildfire Index
The "move to the sd card" option moves apps to the FAT32 partition of your SD card not to sd-ext

I tried darktremors but if u check last post's thread I came up with a problem. If I haven't used darktremors script, and only kept the partition step, what should I do to move apps to ext?

Personally I couldn't really say which method I prefer - at the moment I go with S2E.
If you want to try that just install it from the market, configure it and reboot - that's almost all.

Partitioning Sd Card Problem

Hi,
I partitioned sd-card with several ways but my htc desire does not see the ext2/ext3 partitions.
the configuration is that
ClockWork recovery 2.5.0.7
CyanogenMod-7 for Desire GSM V7.0.0-RC1
16 GB Class 4 Toshiba micro sdcard
latest try to partition sd card is now : 13,91 fat32 primary
1024 ext2 primary - tried also ext3
My Htc desire shows me as : sd card Total space : 13,91 GB
internal storage Total space : 148 MB
the ways that I used:
-Gparted-Live - success to partitioning
-Pmagic 5.10 - success to partitioning
-sdsplit with android terminal : - unsuccessful to partitioning
the file exist but when I try : - &su
- #/data/sdsplit -nd -fs 14350M
it says me : the file not found
-MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition - success to partitioning
-I tried also flashing ClockWork recovery to amon-ra 2.0 with unveroked 3.2 for partitioning sd card but it says me "error: failed to get root. ıs your firmware too new?" - unsuccessful
What should I do?
Please help?
Your internal memory does not charge when using a ext partition/a2sd. So how do you know it's not working.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I have AppsToSd tool installed and it always says me "it looks like your SD card isn't partitioned correctly..."
I do not know an other way if it's working...
That tool does not use the same a2sd solution, it uses the stock froyo one. You wouldn't need that tool if you were running a rom with a2sd / a2sd+
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
ok,
What should I do so?
and how can I understand it's working?
grab an app called quick system info from the market and in the basic info tab it lists a2sd storage and internal storage.
You'll know its working when you install something and the internal storage doesn't drop by the size of the app you installed.
Also if you use Rom manager from the market (after you're rooted) that can create the next partition for you. Just back up your card first since it wipes it.

this may sound stupid, but it happened to me.. When you create your partitions, are you making the EXT 2/3 first? it MUST be the first partition, wether it is listed as primary or not. I had sooo many fustrations till i figured out you must make the ext2/3 first, then the fat32 or whatever else.
Besides that.. WHY do you need a2sd? if you are using the CM7-RC1.. I'd recommend you use the CM7 HBOOT as well. that gives you a 300mb data which is tons of room.. just a suggestion.
Thank you nismoau,
I see the a2sd storage and it shows me the partition size but I installed some application from sd card and still drop the internal storage size.
what should be wrong?
mikeandjaimie thank you too
I need it because I want to install more applications. So How can I install CM7 HBOOT?
thanks...

You have to go S-Off (with AlphaRev.nl 1.8) and there you can select to use the Cm7 HBOOT.

1. root it (alpharev/unrevoked)
2. s-off (revolutionary)
3. NAND backup the current ROM from recovery mode
4. flash custom HBoot based on your requirement (refer to table in alpharev.nl)
[by this you get more internal memory increased, maximum you can get
332Mb for data]
5. install custom ROM of your choice which uses different scripts to move apps
to sd (s2e, a2sd, data2ext, etc....)
6. NABD backup the newly installed custom ROM
7. partition SD card for Fat32 and EXT3 (1gb) using gparted
8. reflash it the custom rom or restore from the back
you can refer to rooting guide which is available in the xda forum, below url may also help you regarding custom roms

What our sarcastic friend Terepin is trying to say is that you can't really use the SD card as an extension of your phone's internal memory without using an A2SD ROM.

Root your phone mate, and then use a RoM with data2SD If you want to stay with HTC sense then I recommend Droidzones RoMs.
This one is Sense 2.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1143456
And this one is Sense 1.0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045824
Note you will need a SD card class 4 and above, Read up about Gparted after you have Rooted your phone this will let you partition your Sd card Giving you upto 2GB internal Memory.
If your bored of HTC Sense, I recommend MIUI RoM its superb
Good luck
HUummm... why is it always so hard for me?
I tried to root with un Revoked which I have used in the past but that failed because I have 2.3.3 installed.
I then went back to my Froyo RUU but that failed because of the H Boot.
Finally I rooted with http://revolutionary.io and now need to sort myself out with a ROM.
Just a note: you don't need Gparted for ext partition. You can either format your entire card with CWM, or you can use free partition manager EASUS Partition Master Home to create ext3 partition and then convert it with alignement script from coolexe. It certainly saves time.

Only down side to using recovery its max size is 512MB. EASUS dont like because its windows app, I find it best to use Gparted because its Linux witch android its self is based on.

Hi everybody,
got the same problem as the person who started this thread with the memory issues. Done everything except install a custom rom, which I am about to do.
(note: currently 0n 2.3.3)
Currently have CM 7.1 downloaded on computer and going to install....BUT every instruction i see requires me to have rom manager/ clockworkmod recovery. HOWEVER, I can't install these because ''this app can't be installed in your country''. unfortunately used to this.
So does anyone by chance have any links to instructions or have instructions of how I can install this without downloading any apps, hopefully an idiot proof version.(Not worried about saving a recovery etc....phone is basically blank.)
Also would CM 7.1 be a good start?? Is there any easier rom to install that still has the apps2sd feature which is the primary point of doing all this( maybe miui).
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards,
rkdeane
Everything you need is in the Desire Developement forum - STICKY!
You don't apps, just root (S-OFF is a good choice too) and custom recovery (like CWM, AmonRa).

U need a rom with data2sd if u want unlimited memory
These kind of rom requires an extra partition on the sd card...So u have to partition the sd card in order to have one fat32 partition (where ur data like music, images, etc are stored) and one EXT4 partition of 1GB for example (all the apps and apps data will be moved automatically in this ext partition)..with this u don't need to move ur apps to the sdcard with the move to sd option.
after partitioning u can flash the rom..for example this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045824
read all the instructions in the thread, and make sure to understand how the data2sd work

Did you already create an ext partition on your sd card for the apps/data2sd?
Backup your SD card data to PC before start.
Boot to ClockworkMod Recovery
Use volume down button to go down to ‘advanced’.
Then press call button
.Select ‘Partition SD Card’.
Select the ext size that you want (128M, 256M, 512M, 1024M, 2048M or 4096M).
Select 0M as the Swap Size.
Copy back your data to SD card.
See if it then works

well mate,
you want to use sense3.... this sense works mostly with HD port from desireHD to desire.
there are different developer's rom presenting this into the development forum:
leedroid HD 3.3.3 r5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1170633
there is a faq thread - howto - leedroid HD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1226017
coolexe with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1250815
those are the most stable rom... i could be wrong, other would correct if i m wrong.
in resume:
- root your device with unrevoked
- s-off your device (unlocked the security on bootloader) alpharev or revolutionnary could do the trick.
alpharev link => http://alpharev.nl/
bootloader resume:
Code:
the bootloader prepare you nand device to launch the system. In that purpose it would format 5 partition calles mtd.
mtd0: 00040000 00020000 "misc"
mtd1: 00500000 00020000 "recovery"
mtd2: 00280000 00020000 "boot"
mtd3: 04380000 00020000 "system"
mtd4: 04380000 00020000 "cache"
mtd5: 04ac0000 00020000 "userdata"
those modified when flashing a bootloader are system, cache and userdata in order to gain space for userdata (application)
from bootloader stock system = 250mb
cache =40 mb
userdata=147mb
from coolexe or leedroid rom it s advice to flash a bootloader called cm7r2 coz
system=145 mb
cache=5mb
userdata=287mb
those dev have been able to put a complete rom into 145 mb whilst the stock rom needs at lkeast 250mb. you understand that it would be a waste of precious mbyte space to our tiny device.
to do so they used several script to do so (data++, a2sd) it means you MUST have a partition sd card with
first fat32 (primary partition) followed by ext3 or ext4 (primary partition)
data++ uses symlink linux capabilities to point from system's folder to sd card's folder extX partition.
a2sd use linux power to forced installation app's to extX partition onto your sdcard aswell dalvikcache (it is responsible of growing amount of data when your 're looking to you internal available space).
all this have been widely explained into the faq howto thread leedroid
hope this help

which is able to move things like dalvik to your sdcard , you would safe space internal memeory. works with stock rom from what i ve understood.

What actually takes up internal memory as I've only got 3mb of apps on my internal memory according to Install Manager but still only got 3mb free.

before you flash a new ROM always do a full wipe from mounts & storage
>boot
>system
>data
>cache
>sd-ext
this should free up the memory for you
I didn't do that before I upgraded to the stock Gingerbread Rom, has that caused the problem? If so where do I go from here?

If you are not using a custom rom and are not rooted, you only have option is to factory reset phone to default settings. Make sure you back up everything you can first.
Or just Root your phone learn how to install custom Roms with data2ext/data2sd/xd2sdx for more internal storage.
I am rooted and are looking into partitioning but was just wondering how come I have little internal memory when I moved 90% of Apps to my SD card. This was why I had to root.
Seems quite a poor fail on the part of Android. Unless it is because I didn't wipe all that Data before I flashed the custom rom.

Whats happening mate, even tho you have moved apps to sd card not all the file really goes there. Say you download a 20MB app and move it to sd card. 15MB would go there and the other 5MB would stay at real internal filling it up. Plus dalvik cache app data ect.
Partitioning with Gparted and having an ext4 with a RoM that uses data2ext puts your ext4 has internal giving you more space.
Staying with app2sd+ only gives you a little bit more space.
Check my upload and you'll see my internal storage is just under 1gb free.

You should use Gparted for partitioning card. say you have 16GB card first partition sould be fat32=13gb second ext4=2GB 2048MB both set to primary.
To use Gparted you burn it to CD and just boot from the disk, be careful not to format windows drive
I could not get gparted to work on my PC. From VMPlayer or Boot disc. It went so far and then just hung, about 5 times.
If I'm using CWM v4.0.1.4 what partition type am I likely to have as that was what I had to use to partition it through the advanced settings.

CWM makes it ext3.
SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using XDA App.
I’ve managed to get GParted to work on a different PC but when I connected my Phone and mounted the USB Card the volume came up as ‘Unallocated’.
I created a Fat32 partition and an Ext3 partition (both primary) and then connected my PC through windows to transfer the Update.zip file to my SDCard.
Then when I went to ‘update zip from sdcard’ in recovery the file didn’t show up.
When I restarted my phone after wiping data (as requested in rom installation guide) the card wasn’t recognized and asked to be reformatted so I did.
Now the card isn’t recognized by gparted. I’ve had a mare with this today (two kids driving me mad contributed to that too though in fair, lol!)
I've got my Fat32 and Ext3 partitions now and have put my recovery files on my SDCard through Windows but cannot get recovery to see my files at all.
Install Zip from SDCard doesnt see my Custom Rom, Restore doesnt see any files and won't even create a backup even though this is a Fat32 partition.
Has anyone else had this. Quite frustrating now.

So you think the problem might be because I didn't unmount the sd card in windows after I'd put the recovery files back on?
I did unmount in cwm recovery via the back key.

Mounts2SD not wot working

Hey everyone,
I have recently rooted and S-OFF my HTC Desire, using Revolutionary.
I have partitioned my SD card and installed Mounts2SD application from Google Play store. Busybox and Init.d seem to be configured ok but still, Mounts2SD doesn't seem to work and I can't get my applications to use the 1GB partition off memory that I have dedicated on my SD card.

1. How did you partition your sd-card?
2. Did you configure m2sd correctly?
3. Are you one of those guys who think that the internal memory itself will be larger, thus expecting to see "1148 mb" of internal storage in settings? You will still see 148 mb, but the partition will be there, doing its job.
4. What did you move to sd-ext? Try moving app and dalvik cache.
Hello,
1. To partition my SD card, I booted the phone in recovery and I partitioned it from there. And I know it's done because my SD's memory is now 1GB less.
2. All the boxes in m2sd application are checked. It doesn't let me change anything.
3. I didn't expect to see the internal memory larger.
4. From what I read, I thought that after m2sd is configured, it will move the applications itself to sd-ext. So by still seeing 126/148MB of my internal memory occupied, I suppose this didn't happen. How can I move an app manually??

4. From what I read, I thought that after m2sd is configured, it will move the applications itself to sd-ext. So by still seeing 126/148MB of my internal memory occupied, I suppose this didn't happen. How can I move an app manually??

In the Content section, select "Application" and "Dalvik Cache".
What recovery do you use?
I tried checking the dalvik cache and also data, but not only nothing changes, also every time I reboot the phone it goes back to the original settings: only application is checked....

Ok. That explains it. Your sd-ext wasn't done properly. Check my guide for correctly partitioning your sd-card :

Then use the mounts2sd flashable zip. It's safer.

I have followed your guidelines and installed 4Ext recovery. Then i partitioned my SD card with that and i installed m2sd using the flashable zip.
Then still m2sd not working and i'm still getting the annoying low space notification. So i installed FreeSpace and it seems like i don't have an ext partition. The only things it shows there are:
- Cache 40MB
- Data 147MB
- SD-card 2731MB
- System 250MB
My SD card is 3.66GB. So from that, the conclusion is that the partition was created but the system cannot access it..?? What could be wrong?? How should i proceed? Just try to partition the SD again??
Thanks a lot

Yes, partition your sd-card again.
1gb goes to your sd-ext. It's normal for freespace to show 2731 mb.
For some reason my phone couldn't access SD-ext, even if it was partitioned correctly and in recovery it could see it. So i wiped everything and istalled a new ROM. Now it works perfectly!
Thanks a lot for the assistance!
