Hi world!
I don't know if this is the right place to ask for this feature, since I guess this is more hardware dependent than just plain programming:
Is it possible to create a bootable partition in the internal memory of the Diamond?
This could possible kill my need for USB memory once and for all.
hello,
i do it with sd-cards under linux.
one possible way is to use vmware.
when you put your diamond to windows, select on diamond harddisc.
vmware-linux have to recognized a harddisc.
now you can make partitions with fdisk.
i know, my guideapplication is very grossly. but the two sentence
costs you more than five or more houers of work, if you dont know,
how to use fdisk or vmware with linux inside.
why you want partition your internal memory?
okokur
I do it in my X51V, it need if you want start a kernel linux boot.
with Linux partition manager you must create small partition swap in strorage memory and put the kernel img here, in the storage card you must put the haret.exe + config file.
the commands are:
The SD card needs to be partitioned into two partitions: one small FAT partition that WinCE can see, and one EXT2 partition used as root file system. I'll assume that the block device of the SD card is called /dev/sda. Replace this with the correct device on your system. Instruction could be slightly different for each version of fdisk :
* Delete all partitions on the SD card:
fdisk /dev/sda
d
1
d
2
d
3
* Create partitions, for example a 10MB /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 using the rest:
fdisk /dev/sda
n
p
1
<default> (should be cylinder 1)
+10M
n
p
2
<default>
<default> (should be last cylinder of the card)
t
1
4
w
* Create file systems, a VFAT on /dev/sda1 and EXT2 on /dev/sda2:
mkdosfs /dev/sda1
mke2fs /dev/sda2
* Copy HaRET, the kernel and default.txt onto sda1:
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
[diamond] cp zImage???????????????/mnt/zImage
cp haret-0.4.8.exe /mnt/haret.exe
cp default.txt /mnt/default.txt
umount /dev/sda1
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
[diamond] bzcat diamond?????????.rootfs.tar.bz2 | (cd /mnt; tar x)
umount /mnt
3) Boot
start haret.exe and tap the "Run" button...
enable Mirror Mode(Start -> Settings -> System>Mirror).
for Diamond you need Zimage and rootfs
look here http://linuxtogo.org/~lgorris/kaiser-bootkit/

I think it just works fine...
But Haret doesn't work on Diamond.
Hi guys,
sorry because this has probably been answered somewhere but I couldn't find it ....
So here it goes: I just installed Modaco's ROM and it works perfectly. Now I would like my apps to install directly on the SD card.
What I understand is that I need to create a EXT3 partition but I don't know what the hell that means, nor how to do it.
I just put my SD card in the hero, didn't format anything ....
Dould you give a step by step guide ? On how to create that EXT3 partition, how to use A2SD afterwards ? Also, what to do with the currently installed applications ?
Thanks
Geeum

Just use MoDaCo's custom ROMs. (It will do it automatically)
can app2sd work with official ROMs not rooted?
Hi guys I finally partitioned my sdcard to have an ext3 partition.
I thought A2SD was automatic but apparently applications don't go to the sdcard: my phone memory has changed after I installed an app ...
Here is what I get if I type the 'print' command on parted
Code:
(parted) print
print
print
Model: SD 00000 (sd/mmc)
Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0: 8166MB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 512B 7110MB 7110MB primary fat32 lba
2 7110MB 8134MB 1024MB primary ext3
3 8134MB 8166MB 32.3MB primary linux-swap(v1)
So I DO have ext3. Then I found this post that explains how to check if A2SD is working:
Thanks! Here is my way to check if a2sd is working:
Check if the ext3 partition exists (please see androidandme.com for details):
Code:
# mount | grep mmcblk0p2
mount | grep mmcblk0p2
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /system/sd type ext3 (rw,noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue,data=ordered)
Compare available/used space on mmcblk0p2:
Code:
adb shell
# df
df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
tmpfs 98520 0 98520 0% /dev
tmpfs 4096 0 4096 0% /sqlite_stmt_journals
/dev/block/mtdblock3 174080 153460 20620 88% /system

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 468331 11767 431579 3% /system/sd
Now install an app from the market (as suggested by fleming222) and again run "df". Compare the available (or used) space on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 with the first "df".

This is what I get (I can see on the first line that my ext3 is not listed ... weird)

The best way to do it if your not too good with the adb commands is to install the AMON recovery image for Hero.
It has all the options to create the correct sd card partitions from the recovery mode, then just install your custom rom and everything should work.
You will need to format your sd card so you may want to create a backup of it. And I would suggest that you wipe the phone clean as well. Once you install the modaco rom it automatically moves all of your apps to the sd card.
The link for the recovery image is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124
You will also need Instant Root (http://neilandtheresa.co.uk/Android/), which you should install first, it is an .apk file so you will need a file manager for your phone. It should pop up with a notification "instant root was successfully" or along those lines. (If you have a problem installing Instant Root make sure Settings>Applications>Unknown Sources is checked)
You should then place the AMON recovery image onto the sdcard making sure it is not put into any folders (root).
Instant root then allows for root access with adb shell using the following 2 commands:
1) adb shell
then
2) su
the icon should change from a $ to #.
Now flash the recovery image with the following command:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.3.img
That should do it, remove the usb and battery and once you have replaced the battery boot into recovery mode.
I ran the following commands in this order from recvoery mode:
- Wipe data + cache (factory reset)
- Wipe ext partition on SD-card
- Wipe Dalvik-cache on SD-card (NOT on /data !) [email protected] ALWAYS WORK
- Partition SD-card : 500MB Ext2, 32MB Swap, remaining Fat32
- Convert ext2 to ext3
- Installed ROM
Hope this helps
Hi and thanks for your reply. I finally sorted my problem, I was typing the commands from the recovery console, and now my ext3 shows:
Code:
# mount | grep mmcblk0p2
mount | grep mmcblk0p2
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /system/sd type ext3 (rw,noatime,nodiratime,errors=conti
nue,data=ordered)
I checked the space with df, and I can see it changing when installing apps.
However, so does the 'internal memory of the phone' in the settings panel; it keeps getting smaller as I install apps
Why is that ?
really want to do this but i find it all to hard and confusing

I think this is inevitable as the app uses some part of the phone memory for cache files etc (I am not 100% certain on this, just saw it written in an older post on the same topic).
I do not know if this is a coincidence but for some reason I have tried partitioning manually (the way your doing it) in the past and have recently used the AMON recovery image for partitioning instead. I notice that the recovery image tends to use less of the internal storage for each installed app, I don't know why but you could try it out yourself.
guys, i am using modaco's 2.6 rom. so if i just create partitions this custom rom will automatically install newly installed apps to the sd card. right?
but what if i already got many apps installed? will those be deleted while creating partitions?
is there any way so that i can backup the whole application folder and restore after creating partitions?
cheers
apparently if you do ext2 + swap + fat32, you can't do a Nandroid backup (it keeps giving errors). anyone got similar issues?

I have a HTC Desire Z Model A7272 with the microSD microSDHC SanDisk 8 GB Class 4.
CyanogenMod 7.0.3
After rooting and installing CyanogenMod 7.0.3, I went to Settings -> Storage -> Erase SD Card. Doing that showed two confirmation screens Erase SD Card -> Erase everything and then the notification bar said:
Code:
SD card safe to remove
Blank SD card
Opening the notification bar sais:
Code:
Blank SD card
SD Card blank or has unsupported file system
with the option Format SD card. Doing that, enters the circle again, displaying one after another:
Code:
SD card safe to remove
Blank SD card
SD Card blank or has unsupported file system
Same with Settings -> Storage -> Mount SD Card and Erase SD Card.
After Googling and Reading I booted ClockworkMod Recovery:
ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.2.4
There I did mounts and storage -> mount /sdcard, which resulted in:
Code:
Error mounting /sdcard!
Same with mounts and storage -> format /sdcard:
Code:
Formatting /sdcard...
Error mounting /sdcard!
Skipping format...
The option advanced -> Partition SD Card only displays ext sizes until 4 GB, my card is 8 GB.

Unfortunately, the following programs I am used to by Linux are not available on my phone: blkid, fsck, mkfs.
I tried creating a new partition table with one primary partition over the entire size. Neither ClockworkMod Recovery nor CyanogenMod wanted to format or mount this. However, one of them changed the partition table back to what can be seen above.
Unfortunately, I can not currently put the card into another device to debug/format/mount it there.
Any idea how I can debug this further on my phone?
from the formating going on your phone, it seems to say skipped the format. i suggest to format the sd card on your computer to fat32. also if your computer detects errors on the sd card, you can debug them on your computer then reformat it. just remeber to back up your stuff
I didn't have another device. That was my problem.
So I dug one up (some Samsung, non-Android), put it in there, formatted it, put it back in mine and it worked!
Cool for problem solved, but I am still wondering what the cause of this was and how to fix it.
The partition table is still looking exactly the same:
Code:
# [I]fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk1[I]
Disk /dev/block/mmcblk1: 7948 MB, 7948206080 bytes
256 heads, 63 sectors/track, 962 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16128 * 512 = 8257536 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

Partition 1 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?):

Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:
phys=(1023, 255, 63) logical=(962, 138, 10)
So my questions remain:
1. Why were both CyanogenMod 7.0.3 and ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.2.4 unable to format and/or mount the card? Where is the exact bug?
2. How to fix this software so we don't need another device?

Did you try
#parted /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
in clockwork recovery?
I suggest getting a new card. Either of the cards in my signature are good, and PNY's 8GB Class 4 card is a good backup card.
Im having the same problem. I have an atrix. WHAT DO I DO
I'm having the same issue and have tried formatting through clockwork, the current rom i'm using, and windows. The sdcard still cannot be mounted. I've tried searching throught the forums and haven't found anything that helped. Hoping someone might have some suggestions other than buying a new sdcard...thanks
also, how do u type in commands while in recovery?

CWM ReParted is a method of reparition internal SDcard via recovery using flashable zip. It was developed a few months ago, but the message about this method "lost" in a closed thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54157635&postcount=129 so I decided to create separate thread.
It's only for custom (non-stock) based ROMs
Installation method
1) backup your /data partition and /sdcard
2) flash zip archive. It may take a while, be patient.
3) format /data, /cache and /sdcard
4) restore your data
5) swap storages via Novathor settings app
After repartition you'll have:
2,87 Gb on data
~320 Mb on cache (I didn't change cache partition size because I use F2FS and it needs to use more memory in /cache. Anyway, you can edit repartition script as you want)
~51 kb on UMS and HIDDEN
This script will not change your /system partition.

First i would like to thank you for your contribution for our Ace devices. I would like to use your kernel with full f2fs, but the system partition is too small(approx. 600MB) to install GApps that i would like. Is there any way to enlarge system partition? Thank you

Temporarily there is no repartition script, that changes system partition. You can edit repartition.sh manually(remove system partition, change start/end positions of needed partitions and then create /system. don't forget then to name it "SYSTEM" - without quotes. There's no difference in which order you create partitions, just make sure that number of system is 3, data - 5, cache - 4, etc... ).
Make sure you have backup. To restore partition scheme flash stock with pit file.
P.s. if unsure, read this topic since repartition may be potentially dangerous.

Thank you, both you and Chrono! :good:
So all I have to do, is paste your script into reparted.sh, and everything will work like a charm.
One last question, though... Chrono wrote in his original post, that he left cache 320MB because F2FS needs it. If I plan on upgrading to F2FS in the future, is it better for me to leave it at 320 or the 130MB you calculated should be enough?

As you like... I'm also an full F2FS and have the minimum recommended for F2FS whioch is 130MB... This is setted in the script...
Don't know if 320 will imporve it or not - Never tested...
If you want to have the values with 320 on Cache - Here you are

And dont forget to format partitions DATA CACHE (SYSTEM if changed) with the file system you want. Also format Int. SD Card with vfat/fat32.
Keep in mind that if you format SYSTEM with F2FS you would need an ROM.zip with adjusted mounting values (Chrono wrote it in this Kernel thread)
AND: Make this all with a Kernel with CWM (not TWRP) - No PARTED in TWRP...

Thanks, but F2FS is still in the future. I'm currently using ace2nutzer kernel, and I'm happy with it, won't convert to F2FS until his kernel supports it. But this adjusted mounting volumes has to do something with this repartitioning, or it's just the same thing Chrono wrote about in the F2FS installation tutorial in the third post of his kernel thread?
Also another noob question In your script, you put HIDDEN partition between CACHE and UMS, while in the original Chrono script HIDDEN is the last partition. Does it matter where this partition is?

The script beginns with #!/sbin/sh
And no - This is only for changing partition sizes...

Okay, I did it! Now I have 2.55GB on data, thanks to you guys!
Although I got an erron in CWM, saying "E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]", but after googling it, I read that it should not cause any problems.
Could please you go to CWM - Start ADB shell (from PC with USB attached)
and enter the following...
Code:
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 unit kb print
Will also work from running Phone with ADB shell and SU
Code:
C:\ADB>adb shell
[email protected]:/ $ su
su
[email protected]:/ # parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 unit kb print
Please copy and post results - Just to be sure that everything was setted correctly

Did you format Internal SD (SDCARD0 in CWM) to vfat?

That's what it says:
Code:
C:\Users\Matt>adb shell
←7←[r←[999;999H←[[email protected]:/ $ su
su
←7←[r←[999;999H←[[email protected]:/ # parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 unit kb print
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 unit kb print
sh: parted: not found
127|[email protected]:/ #
I did a system wipe, installed Rox 20141109 Rom and switched to ART in the meantime, could that be the problem?
Also, Internal SD was formatted as default, which I guess is FAT32. But that unknown volume error has since disappeared, CWM only gave that for the first reboot after repartitioning.
Arg. Parted is not Part of cm11. Please Do it from CWM....
Yes. If the error message is away and you have access then its Ok.

Not 100% - Because HIDDEN and UMS should be changed (their place on NAND) - But the most impotrant (Partition Nrs) are correct...
Did you used the script? Each commant has to be eactly at his correct place...

I edited Chrono's script with your values, but he left HIDDEN at the end, so I figured it would be better if I do the same.
Is it going to cause any problems? What is HIDDEN used for, by the way?

Never tried Chrono's script. Mine is tested (from me) with my phone and it gives me the 100% original partition order as it was originally.
This is an 100% original layout...unmodified... (left out the parts of no interest)
Code:
3 106MB 748MB 642MB ext4 SYSTEM
5 748MB 2056MB 1309MB ext4 DATAFS
4 2056MB 2377MB 321MB ext4 CACHEFS
9 2377MB 2713MB 336MB ext4 HIDDEN
11 2713MB 2765MB 52,4MB Fota
8 2765MB 3949MB 1184MB fat32 UMS
BUT - I would leave yours as it is...
As I said - Its important that partition no's and names are correct... And they are for you...
I don't think that there will be a noticeable difference...
HIDDEN is not really needed in CM11. But if its not there some reported that CM11 does not boot.
Therefore its there - but as small as it can be...some KBs... To be sure I choosed 100KB.
If I remember correctly PRELOAD was on HIDDEN on JB...
Okay then! Thanks @fluffi444 for all the support on this matter! :highfive:
Hello everybody! I'm do the repart about the guide but now I have got 2.64 GB in internal storage.This is normal? And when I try to do download apps or games from Play Store,I have an error message:"couldn't install on USB Storage or SD card".How to fix that? ROM:cm11 by poppmensa
Sorry for my bad english.
The SD card was removed while the device was running.
The device is running CM 7.2 and the SD card was partitioned to extend the internal memory.
Now, everything is out of whack.
The call log is gone, the texts are gone, I have no contacts, I have no favorites.
The widgets are gone, the home screen icons are gone.
Actually it'd be better to say what's still there: The apps themselves and some file content (pictures, videos, downloads) are there.
How do I rectify this and safe my data. I wouldn't mind migrating it to a new device as I have a new device.
Please advice if you can
what method did you use to partition your card ? some leave user data on internal memory some move that too on to external. i don't know if there's any PC software that can see your 2nd partition if you put your SDcard into a card reader on a PC for backing up.

I don't know for sure but I think it was Data2SD from the package Data2sdV2withA2sdremover_by_jikantaru.zip
It is a 2 GB SD card and the phone shows an internal storage of 473 MB and 1,39 GB on the SD card.

I inserted it in a Ubuntu computer and got some output.
This is the relevant output from Ubuntu

Both partitions are still there and accessible. I did run fsck but it did not help with the lost thing (texts, etc.)
somebody else had trouble with that method a cm10.1 thread. I would have said try flashing it again but I don't know that method...
