yes,, whenever you connect usb as mass storage... the first partition only will mount... the second ext partition will remain on phone..:good:

Hey guys,
I have just bought a new sd card and i just wondered, will i have to reflash the rom when i insert a new sd card, because i have an ext4 partition for my applications.. What is the actual process for applying a new sd card to a custom rom with apps to sd ext4 parition?
Cheers
JD
You can jump into Linux, partition the new card as required, and move the data from your old card's ext partition to the new card's, and all should work well. Alternatively, you can back up all your apps using Titanium Backup, format the new SD card in recovery, boot up, install Titanium, and restore your apps using that.
wich card do you bought? i was actually looking for a 16gb class 4 by Sandisk, with USB reader. price=80 euros with home delivery.
Just bought a class 2 16gb san disk, 34.99 play.com with free delivery,
Cheers prof,
Do I use gparted?

GPartEd will work brilliantly.

Please direct this questions to the general section, developer expertise isn't really required to answer those.

Mate, will you kindly get off your high horse and use your comments and energy for more constructive issues, I needed a question answered, and it was, I cant help it if people keep continuing this thread.
and it does need dev attention because it was regarding a partition that is new to us desire owners, ext4,
So let the moderators moderate please and use your energy in a more kind productive fashion,
Cheers,

Well, yes, but I assumed that was understood. You need to restore the entirety of the contents of your SD card once partitioned for Titanium Backup to find the backups and restore them.
Understood fine prof

I am sorry if I offended you, it was not my intention at all. It's just that the desire development is getting some momentum and things should be organized a little better in this forum.
And I am using my energy just fine, thank you.
My girlfriend got the HTC Wildfire S for MetroPCS a couple of weeks ago. It is a nice phone except for one little problem: The internal memory is crap. She has exactly 5 apps installed, all are moved to SD, and she has 7.14 MB or internal memory free. It is running the stock 2.3 Rom rooted. I need some help figuring out what to do. Before you guys make suggestions let me list what I have already done:
1. S-OFF and rooted, removed all bloatware, which moved it from 3.21 MB to 8 MB which seems like BS because a few of those apps were about 6 MB in size.
2. Moved apps to SD card partially in the applications menu in settings.
3. Cleaned caches
4. Uninstalled almost every application.
This is very frustrating because she cant update apps, she cant download apps, and it is frustrating because I have the old Huawei Ascend on CM7 and I have more apps and am faster than her phone, its ridiculous, I also wonder why after removing over 60MB or crap and bloatware it freed up about 7MB. Makes no sense. I don't want to do DT's app2sd script yet because she doesn't have a way to back up her stuff before the partition of the SD card. If anyone can explain another way or something I can do to fix this please..... It would be greatly appreciated.
Use Partition Wizard Home (Free) to resize your FAT32 partition and create your Ext(whatever your kernel supports) partition on a windows machine.
No need to back up. Doesn't destroy partitions.
My preference is Link2SD free from the market.
You can mass move your apps, dalvik cache and library files to the Ext(Probably Ext2 with stock rom kernel) from the SD card and internal to your Ext partition very easy.
Also you can set it up to auto do this when new apps are installed and choose which apps you want to keep fully internal for faster booting, startup, etc.

Is this the same question from two different people or one person logged on as two different people?
If your card is corrupt and can't be read try a program like Recuva on the PC (free) to get your files from it.

Format it in windows using the partition software I mentioned and make sure it is:
1/ Fat32
2/ A Primary not a Logical partition
3/ Make it the Active partition

Choose EXT3
Sorry for the double post but you have to be rooted from what I understand. There is also a script or application that you have to use to move the apps and you MUST be rooted.
thanks much I kind if figured that now sorry for wasting your time guess I should I read more or some thing
It's no problem good luck!
I have had good luck with this

Hi no one seems to have answered try looking at apps like ROM manager which can partition your SD card to ext2 so apps can be saved on to it.
easier
This method is a lot more safer as it just moves the app data then links it to your internal storage I think this app costs after you move more than three but it is cheap!
http:// https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD
Sorry if this hasn't helped bit if it has give us a thanks
PS
These methods do require root and is impossible to move apps without root!
you need to add a line i build.prop bot i don't know which one :/ Searh a bit in dev thread.
move app
just use Rox Cyanogenmod 10.2 / 11
they have system which can make your device move apps to sd card
or even swap internal sd to external sd(microsd)
Dear All DEVs,
I have a solemn question to all. Am using Micromax Canvas A1 running on 6.0.1 and with thunderzap latest kernel. being a noob would ask for a simple step by step guide from you as a kind help to solve the storage shortage.
I mounted my sd card as internal. move all the apps which were given the option to do the same. So plz provide a fullproof solution which can resolve the critical storage issue on my device.
A lot of appreciations and heartily thanks to all of you in advance.

9.thats all..
