[Q] Widgets installed on Sd Card

Hi,
Yesterday, I installed new CM7 rom on my htc desire. everything works fine, but widgets installed or moved sd card could not be used because they are not appearing on widgets.
is it bug?
thanks...

No, is what is supposed to happen. If you need the space use A2SD (the one with the ext partition).

ok,
Thank you...

Sory,
one question, is it possible to make A2SD (Partition) with Rom Manager?

Yes, but keep in mind that the sd card will be wiped during the process so copy important stuff to your pc.

ok, thank you again...

Hi,
I partitioned sd-card as
11... gb fat32
4... gb ext3
32 mb linux swap
but my phone does not see the ext3, should I reflash the rom or did something wrong?

Keep your ext partition under 2gb then try again. Also make sure you read up on A2SD because a lot of people think it doesn't work when it does work.

Memory problem

I have just seven apps on my desire and it say I don't have more place , what else more than app are on entire disk which I can clean for I get more place . I have desire rooted with 16gb SD card
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Are you using A2SD+? Or this is the internal memory?

I have problem with internal memory
What are more things are on the memory I can delete
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Unless you are S-OFF, you can only delete the things you've installed by yourself or move them to the SD Card (Non_A2SD+).

What do u mean s off
I mean the apps is about 50 mb what happened with 200 mb

Street view 604 kb

THANK U

Probably cache & Other non-app related stuff.
Also, if you don't have A2SD+ (not App2SD), then some applications will be on Internal memory even after moved to the SD card.

I am not an android expert, but you do need app2sd or data2sd to fix this.
Any 3rd party rom with those X2sd supported can let you extend your limited phone storage. I don't know the android system file structure at all but here is the general idea.
i. App2sd
This will install the apps (most of them) on your sd card, but the data, I think, still remains on your phone internal storage. Your system should be very fast as normal even with low class sd card (most of the time I think :-0 ).
ii. Data2sd
This is a little bit tricky, it requires you to format your sd card and make use of the sd card instead of your internal phone storage for the operating system. You generally get an unlimited store, it depends on how much memory you allocated for the system, also you need a higher class sd card as better.
iii. Data2sd mixed mode
This is the best solution for me . it moves almost all to the sd card but some part of the system with more i/o on the phone internal storage (actually symlinks point back to the device on sd card). This will make the system fast (faster than pure data2sd), extended the phone storage a lot, but still limited to the phone internal storage (better than app2sd though)
Again, this is just my understanding. I haven't looked into Android in depth yet, but I will one day I have enough time
You can found the ROMs and almost everything you need from here:

Really appreciated the people who did the job there.

I have app 2 SD
I fixed partition ex2 to move the apps but I can't see ext2 partition
Must I have app2sd+ , where can download it.

Create at least EXT3 with more than 512 MB.
You don't have the option anywhere, to move to the EXT partition, it is automatically done by the script.
To see your EXT partition you must use TI Backup (Shows only as A2SD+) or GParted.

Ok not ext2
I have tried with ex2 it doesn't work , should I have swipe ?
I will do it with Linux
Which Rom do u think is best now ?
Where can I download a2sd+ ?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

A2SD+ is not a program, it is a script. Included in the ROMs.
Look around in the Desire Android Developement Section for ROMs and pick one you like. Most of them have A2SD+.

Do some reading... rooting guides include all the information you need

I will format the SD and try to found some Rom with a2sd+
Why desire have very little memory it should be 2 or 4 gb
Thank everyone and I will be back with feedbAck

No brainer... Data2SD !
Sent from my HTC Desire with DATA2SD

This has always been a problem with my desire until i found out about AlphaRev. Now i've got 166MB free internal space. My suggestion is to install AlphaRev and modify the partition tables as listed in the tutorial on alpharev.nl. I would have posted a link but i can't post links yet.

i downloaded RCMIxHD_v3.4_ROT_D2EXT_RC1 and made a parttion ext3 and now work perfect.
Thank u everybody

Confused with swap

I got a 16GB class, 10 memory card. I made a partition if 1gb and 0mb swap. Is that correct? What does the swap really help with?
I tried Google but couldn't really understand it properly. Someone can explain it to me in layman's terms? ^_^

That's a good size. Now install data2sd by jikanturu and you have more internal memory.
good enough?

Can you provide the link to Data2SD? All the ones I found were deleted off of mediafire D:

Search Data2SDInstallerNXE2.zip and you'd get your desired thing on androidforums.com
Else pm me your email and I'd send you the zips....

Swap is fake ram. With class 10 SD card you had to use at least 128mb-256mb because wfs have only 512mb ram

Don't bother with swap, you don't need it. Swap is just using disk space as RAM. But since the SD card is significantly slower than RAM (even if it is a class 10), you won't be having a good time. I've got like 120 apps installed on my phone and I still have 100+MB of RAM available. You don't need swap. As for sd-ext, don't bother with all the many different scripts, the easiest way is just to download S2E from the Play Store, it does it all for you

do we need swap? http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Swap_and_Compcache
It's up to your choice.
my sdcard has 128mb swap.

Hi, I have a 4GB (Class 10) memory card. (872 MB -Ext4 Partition, 700 MB -Linux Swap and 2300 MB on Standard Partition) and using Link2SD. I have installed 30 apps and got only 45MB internal memory left.
But I see you got more internal memory.
1. How is this possible?
2. Can I now move on to S2E? If yes then how?
Thanks.

The best way to do it would be to backup all your apps and data with titanium backup, then reinstall your rom from scratch. Make your sd-ext partition bigger if you wish, then install S2E, let it mount your sd-ext and then restore everything with titanium backup.

Connect the phone with usb cable and choose Disk Drive, default is charging only, download MiniTool Partition Wizard Home from here, install and format the microsd, if is not ok, delete partition and than create fat32 partition, now disconnect usb cable and check, should be ok.

Thanks a lot man

[Q] Why can't I create my EXT4 Partition?

As title says , im unable to create the EXT4 partition on my SD Card. I have 2 SD Cards one 8GB class 2 , and other one 32GB class 10. Normally i use my 8GB class 2 card but I wanted to change it to the bigger one because the 8GB is not enough for me . I've 7GB Fat32 and 1GB EXT4 on it working perfectly , i partitioned it in the 4EXT recovery. Although , I wanted to change it with my other 32GB card. Everything seems to be perfect, i supposed to create the 1GB EXT4 again but... after partitioning i go to "info" it doesnt show me the EXT4 partition unfortunately ...just saying that my ext is not formatted , but i cant format it because i didnt create it on my 8GB SD Card it shows that i have the ext4 partition, but on the 32GB it doesnt... and the problem is i cant boot up any ROM with it could anyone help me with this? I really want to use the 32GB card but i cant for now

Try doing the formatting with Gparted.

Hey Chromium Yeah so, I tried to partition the SD Card with Gparted but unfortunately , when I booted it up , I cant see my SD Card info.. Only the PC Partitions. Could the problem be that , my phone is in 4ext recovery?? I did turn on the Disk Drive from recoery but Gparted still cant see it. I tried several times "Search for devices" in Gparted but didnt help. Any idea bro? I never did it with the Gparted , i always partitioned my SD card by recovieres or Minitool Partition so im not used to it

Did you follow the partition instructions for gparted here?

Of course man ... But on the step that I should see the PC partitions along with the SD Card , There is no SD Card there are 3 ntfs partitions and the Unallocated Space one. I don't know what's the problem really

Yeah, might be the PC's fault. Try another one.

The fault was the laptop I tried on my other PC and it worked (I could see the partitions )i succesfully formated it by Gparted , but in phones recovery in the "Info" option the SD-EXT is still not formatted .. 30gb is fat32 , 1gb sd-ext and 30mb swap (I don't need it , but I really want to use this SD card so I just did everything like in the guide even if I wouldn't need it). I dont know If the problem is the SD card itself or..

Try without swap, you don't need it. It should be removed from the guide
Both partitions primary, FAT32 first (on the left) and the ext4 second (on the right)
What ROM are you trying it with? Have you checked whether apps are actually installing to the partition with something like DiskUsage?

- Have you tried partitioning the card completely from scratch again, max 2GB ext4, no swap?
- Does 4EXT recovery see and check that the partitions are aligned?
- Tried installing a different ROM which requires an sd-ext partition just to try something else and get it booting?
If you've tried all the steps, could be a bad card though unlikely in my experience.
