This is an ongoing problem for me and it's definitely not ROM related, but it makes flashing ROM's difficult, in fact downright awkward!
When installing apps from TB it will get through a couple then reboot, at which point nothing will install until I repair my ext partition (Thank God for AmonRA!). Then it will do the same thing again. It will do the same thing with installing apps from the market too, but it's not so pronounced as I don't tend to install loads of apps at once especially as I've got TB.
I found that TB worked fine with CM7 as it didn't install to the ext partition until I flashed DarkTremors aps2sd, and that worked fine as a way round the problem.
None of this happened until I upgraded my 8Gb to 16Gb sd card. The card seems fine in every respect, just the problem with installing aps :-(
Anyone with any ideas?
My previous thread on disabling aps2sd has not proved fruitful either.

Before I upgraded my pathetic 2gb I done a little research and the word on the street was the hero couldn't handle more than 8gb, recommended by HTC apparently!
Whether this was due to the limitations of the rom(1.6 at the time) or the hardware I don't know.
Have you tried re-formatting your SD card and making sure the ext partion is compatible with the rom your using?

Yeah I've reformatted and reformatted, initially I thought that the problem mgiht have been the backup files had become corrupt when transfering them over ... and yes I've tried ext2 ext3 and ext4 all with the same results (the only rom i tried which wasn't compatible with ext4 was Cronos).
Maybe its true about 8gb being the limit the hero can handle, maybe someone else can confirm or deny.
I'm sure I've seen some on here using 16Gb cards, but it would be good to know, maybe I should change to the Froyo aps2sd?
Maybe you could try doing a nandroid backup, and trying a different rom to see if it works, if not you could have a faulty SD card???
I a, using a 16 Gb card without problems, I always do a full wipe of my phone and a format of my card before flashing a new Rom. I use the aps2sc within the rom and make sure that the settings are right (install to external) before I use titanium.

The max htc Hero should handle would be 32gb I believe. According to link 1, htc hero supports SD 2.0. While SD 2.0 is also called SDHC, which according to link 2 its max is 32gb
Maybe you should try to pull /proc/last_kmsg to see why it rebooted? (post it at pastebin.org, and place url here. Maybe we can understand it )

Yeah I'm really confused as those were my settings also and I tried in on Elelinux 6.2 ... I think it must be either my Hero had a bad day it was born or the sd card did, but it always comes up clean when scanned.

16gb card here, use TB all the time and nadroid as well and never had a problem. Maybe your card has some faulty sectors. Try to copy 16gb on it on the PC and copy it back to your pc after you've made sure nothing was cached. Or try scandisk to see if a part of the flash is broken, maybe.
Using a cheap ebay-bought Team 16GB Class6 with TB, flashing and nandroids. No issues whatsoever. Works great!
I've scanned the disk multiple times, not tried a full 16gb transfer ... and I'll get the log output in a minute or two
output of /proc/last_kmsg

Thanks in advance!
Edit: It got to installing around 15apps this time before crashing. It varies as to when it dies, but it will. I even considered that it was overheating, or due to OC'ing, but it does the same thing regardless of temp or CPU speed
i also use 16gb sd card for 3 or 4 months and nothing ever happens like that. everything works perfect...
Have a feeling that it's corrupt, as I have a new problem with installing anything, I now get told there's not enough room to install or updates apps ... when there's plenty ... arrrgggg!
if 16gb isn't working for you, send the card to me. I have a working 2gb you can have instead.

Haha that's really funny.
Actually I ran some scans, fsck's and reformats with repair options, and if it wasn't for the reboot issue and instability issues I have with Elelinux 7.0.3 then I'm sure I've got it fixed... I hope ...

please help. i just flashed the supernova extreme rom/unlimited memory. iv got a 16gb sd card with a 4gb ext partition.iv installed loads of apps and everything works perfectly. but when i go on create a new message or even read a message it says "warning- unable to manage messages. your internal memory is low. and in the internal memory section it shows iv got over 3gb left. please help??
If you read carefully instructions on droidzone.in you will notice that ext4 partition shouldn't be bigger than 2gb when you flash Supernova for the first time. Repartition your sd card and flash it again.

i now use handcent sms as my default message app and everything works perfect. is it ok if i leave it like this?
Is it so hard to rtfm?

how can so many manage to put roms on their phones when they can't even read a simple installation guide ??. maybe droidzone ought to do house calls and hold their hand for them it is truly beyond me...
yours amazed dazed and baffled

You don't have to get to 10 posts THAT fast, y know?
does it show
So I purchased a new micro SD card Sandisk 32gb Class 10. It shows up in my phone, but will not let me backup to it as my old 8gb did....
Anyone know how I fix this issue?
Try formatting it to FAT32
I did exFAT and FAT32. Did not work. Works fine when in the OS. Will I have to re-root with the SD card in it?
No i dont think thats the problem...its weird because I have the exact same kind (32gig sandisk class 10) and mine works perfect
Do you have another phone to test it on possibly? It might just.be a problem with your S3
And give TWRP a go too, maybe somethings just messed up with the recovery partition
Ok I got it to work in recovery now. But now when I try a NANdroid it says no sd-ext found, skipping back up, what does that mean now?
edit: well i checked the file paths and it seems like it's on the new one, but didnt make the separate one on internal...
All its saying is that your sdcard isnt partitioned (split into different sections, which some people do to installl apps on the sdcard), so that "error" isnt really an error
And...i dont understand what you mean by "didnt make the separate one on internal"...
Okay so Im deciding to sell my friend my HTC WFS, but I want to keep my 8GB memory and give him a 4GB, so I partitioned my 4GB SD to have a ext2 etc... So now I copied the ROM, CronMod-INT2EXT+_signed & SuperWipeMarvelcEdition zip files to the new SD card, but when I try installing everything NOTHING WORKS! The screen stays with the HTC white background logo and doesn't LOAD, ive even tried a diferent ROM but I still have the same problem. Please someone help me, because I supposed to give him my phone tomorrow...
