Anyone experienced that, the system is not able to mount the E: (SD-EXT) after flashed the ROM. Here is what I was doing.
1) I use PartedMagic to setup the following
6.4GFAT32+1.5G EXT4+ 0.4G EXT4+ 0.2 SWAP (appox size.)
2) in the recovery loader, I tested I can mount the SD-EXT without any problems and that I flashed the ROM.
3) After the process done, I started the new MOD and let the system run by itself for the 1st 10mins for him to settle down.
4) I try to reload the data and apps, and seem the system become unstable..so I reboot (my 1st reboot)
5) load the recovery loader, and the SD-EXT is not about to mount again....
Can anyone help please ??
However, I have try to format FAT32+EXT4... Still the EXT4 is not able to mount..
Thx
Redo your partitions with gparted and the card in a card reader. If you don't have a card reader make sure the phone is in recovery while partitioning.

RCMixHD v3.0, 1.84.661.1 /D2WE/
FAT+EXT3..
so far so good but abit laggy... and I hope I can go for 2DEXT
...
hope someone can help..
Please ask the rom developer if his kernel supports ext4, this is not available by default !
Make sure to erase the cells before formatting in Ext, and then, run melethron's alignment script. It helps much.

Can you tell me more detail please ?
Which D2E ROM/version are you trying to install after the partitioning?

I try to install RCMIxHD_v3.0 and i am using D2WE fat+ext3 at the moment .

- I doubt RCMixHD stock kernel allows mounting/formatting Ext4 (through Recovery). I've never had success.
- D2W is mainly for space. It lags and delays quite heavily if you have a SD card below Class 6 (or if the partition is near full, many cells dirty or many pages partially full). I think Melethron's Ext alignment script runs automatically with the v3.0 version of that ROM when you install it. I haven't had the free time to check his latest script, just got out from having a 2h operation.

I have problem with that rom-v3 or with the kernel,i dont know for sure.
I deleted Deamon controlers,flashed gingercakes 0.6c kernel and installed No frills CPU control,selected max 998MHZ and min 128MHz,guvernor-smartassV2 and I/O - noop.
When i opening No frills CPU control sometimes it displays that the currebt freq is 1..114 and in stats displaying that 43% total was on 1.114 and 18% on 998MHz?
Sorry for bad english
nope that didn't work either
I have checked the ext4 layout and have the following
primary fat32 of 7gb followed by ext4 of 1gb. the flollowing flags are on fat32 lba
fixed it
Well I never - not sure which of these sorted the problem but hey
1. reflashed cmr2
2. replaced alpharev recovery with amnon-ra
3. used recovery to re-format and sd card and then re-partition in recovery
4. wiped everything again
5. flashed rom and hey presto it work
hopefully this may help others.
hi, i got a little problem.
i installed this rom on my desire
[ROM][Cool3D Sense 3.0][19 Sep]Cool3D AceS v3 |Android 2.3.5|FAST|STABLE|STOCK|CM7/r2]
i still flashed 1 time a new rom before that, so i still got s-off.
first i backuped & wiped all. then i installed over Clockwork then the rom (cool3d Sense -CM7/r2.
it works. but now im wondering about the message "the memory is full" - should i do something to activate the ext4 partition?
I think you need to move your app to SD manually or you can install the version of the rom with data2ext which is in same page
thx - wil try it on sunday(short holiday) - but i still tried the data2ex version - same problem.

Are you on stock hboot? If so you have to flash stock users.zip after flashing the rom.

I flashed the "stock users.zip" the memory still shows 139MB and goes on decreasing. I installed some 7-8 apps, mem went down to 108 MB.
A 512 MB ext4 would be OK or do i need a 1024 ext4 partition??

I think a 1gb ext4 partition will be recommended.

Can someone plz provide a step by step guide to install this ROM?
for this rom all you need to do is flash hboot version cm7/r2, wipe through recovery, create a 1024MB partition through recovery, flash the ext4 align file and flash the rom itself.

After flashing the Rom you still have to flash the weather-pack.zip and a2sd.kd.zip. And that guide is immensely useful for people flashing a new Rom the first time.

I had flashed this rom and it worked briefly then hung up on me. I wiped everything and tried multiple times, but couldn't get it to work again. Thanks for the excellent tips. I will try this again when I have a few hours to kill.
Hi,
This is not an attempt to highjack this thread. I am facing a similar issue and hope someone can throw light on it.
I was using Coolexe's Sense 2.1 on by HTC Desire with stock HBoot and EXT4 partition on my memory card and hence had to suffer with 147mb memory.
Recently purchased a Transcend class 10 8GB SDHC memory card with hopes of getting sense 3.0. I followed these steps to install Cool3D sense 3.0 on my phone.
1. Create FAT 32 partition 6.36GB.
2. Create 1024 MB EXT4 partition.
3. Boot to clockworkmod recovery.
4. Installed the zip's in the following order.
i) Alignment_Cool_2.zip
ii) Cool-Sensation-v10.zip
iii) Stock_Users_v10.zip
5. Reboot phone.
Now the phone is working fine and is quite smooth apart from an occasional judder. However my EXT 4 partition does not seem to be active. It still shows 110Mb remaining out of 147Mb!...
Is there any step that I have missed? How do i activate the external partition?
Thanks for the help

First of all, why did you flash Cool Sensation? And it is normal for A2SD+ ROMS. With A2SD+, still not everything is transferred to the EXT partition only the apps and the dalvik cache are transferred there, the rest of the data will still be placed on the internal memory. Hence the decrease in memory. If you want data to be on the ext partition you will have to flash a Data2EXT rom.
Hello,
I have a problem when installing the MIUI V4 Marange ROM 2.6.8
The installer stuck on "Setting permissions" (in aroma).
For installing it, i make this different steps :
1/ Wipe all
2/ Fix permissions
3/ install: choose a2sd, ext4, no swap, shaky kernel
My phone is a HTC Desire with 4EXT Recovery Touch.
I have a 16GB SD Card with a 1024Mo Ext4 partition.
Thank you for your help
Best regards
Please, paste here the log of your installation.
You need to use the button in bottom left of the screen, the file will be saved in the same directory of the rom.
It can help discover what's your problem.
The problem is that i can't use this button because when the installation have a problem, i can't click anywhere.
In fact, when i install this rom, the installation goes until "Setting permissions". After a few minutes, the installer closes and shows an error with status 0.
What HBoot are you running? Is it Data++?
Yes! Why?
I know this may not sound like a solution to you, but try installing with Stock hboot. Here's why:
I had the exact same thing as you do now, and in every way I tried, I couldn't get MIUI to install on Data++ and on Sence hboot it installed, but gave me alot of errors.
I tried alot of things, such as installing on Stock hboot, taking backup, switching to Data++, perform a factory reset and let MIUI re-install itself... google application services started failing left, right and center.
I ended up ordering a Class 6 Ultra 32GB Micro SD Card, so I can use Lennox's LX-D2X script (cause my current card is too slow and caused alot of lag). Until the card arrived, I'm trying to live with just 140MB of internal memory (with Dalvik and App Data on sd-ext). Here's my setup:
PC-A2SD
EXT-3
Internal Swap File
Shaky Kernel
smartassV2 governor
Hope this helps.
Hi!
Before i state my question i have to say you guys do an incredible job!!:good:
I havent done any rooting or using custom rom before the past four days. I`ve read lots at this forum but regarding my problem the solutions suggested there concerns older builds.
I just flashed to CM10.1 VJ Jelly Bean 4.2.1 v4.5 and it is smooth.
The only thing i havent been able to do is to extend the internal storage on my HTC Desire.
I have the ext4 partition running and i do see the drive in the app "titanium backup" as "SD card (a2sd)" 1GB(914MB free)
but in "FreeSpace" the Ext partition shows space used 0%. in settings-> storage the internal memory is total 148MB as usual.
I might be wrong in asuming that im supposed to see an enlargement of my internal storage?
I followed the instructions made by vijendrahs, the release notes for CM10.1 VJ Jelly Bean 4.2.1 v4.5.
the execute A2SD script seems to woork fine.
I tried to download the S2E at google play but after flashing from CM10_VJ_4.1.2_v2.2, it wasn`t available for download. might be due to the terminal emulator provided?
Im really trying to boost the memory on my phone but all my effort the recent days i haven`t been able to find a solution. i might be doing something wrong.
Any one got any idea, how to make this work?
help is much appreciated.
im sorry this post isn`t short as it is supposed to be.

You aren't supposed to 'see' the internal memory enlarge. That happens only if you install an int2sd script. What you have there is an A2sd script, that only moves data/app to ext.

thx for reply!
then i have learned something new this day to
i have browsed the int2sd, would be nice to have them both working even if its basically the same thing.
my rom would probably crash if i flash it so ill leave it for a later testing run.
afaik its only a softlink (/data -> /sd-ext/data), so u dont see it directly.
Hello auto82,
I am facing your exactly same problem, plus I tried also s2e app, but still I have few space and once I've installed some apps (e.g. facebook, hotmail, twitter, etc) I am stuck with nospace left for updates.
Did you tried the in2sd ? How is it going ? Do you have more space ? Its fast ?

If you have a fast sd-card, like class 6, it's fast. If you don't, just install m2sd and only move app and dalvik to sd.
