fat32= for loading roms and standard storage
ext3 or 4= for apps2sd: where programs are stored and ran
linux_swap = for a swap file to increase ram

Oh man... Anyone watch Man vs food? Dude ate a 7lb burrito with everything... talk about a "hole" lol..
Oh wait... Sd card? I thougth we were talking about tacos.
If you have flashed a new rom, but didnt know anythign about partitioning your sd card then you jumped to soon my friend.

i call bs when you say you have done some reading.

So a new guy who can't do a forum search can do a barrel roll.

Benefit for most people is it allows you to run your apps off your SD card giving you virtually unlimited amount of room for apps. Most of us also use a linux-swap partition which many of the roms use to speed things up.

Thanks! This is awesome! I was wondering if there was an easier way then going through each app individually. Makes Apps2SD so much better now! Btw, does anyone know if apps stay on the SD card if you do a factory reset or whatever?
Now we just need Google to make earth able to move to SD.
Thanks!

The most random thing...

this is not question just posting a weird situation that happened to me earlier... i have the latest MikFroyo installed that includes the JS power control bar in the pull down menu... well everything was fine beforehand and i was reading up on how to mod it to add/remove toggle switches. So i went about making the changes but didnt make a nandroid thinking this was a simple change and should be fine and when i rebooting low and behond every app i had downloaded was gone or at least in the app drawer(still showed in settings-manage apps). I don't use apps2sd(my sd card was not formatted for it either) and the phone kept saying the memory card was "unexpectedly removed" even though it was clearly still mounted in the phone... The modification worked miraculously but then i removed the mod i added to see if it would revert back but of course that didn't fix it so i just bit my tongue as i reformatted my sd card and phone which of course had only one minor important thing on it... my NFS Shift game progress!!!! U live and u learn i guess... anyhow wish i knew wat the hell gave my phone alzheimers lol...
Bad flash, it happens. Its happened to me a few times. Thats what nandroid is for, and its a good idea to back up your sd sometimes.

Plugged my phone into my computer to grab some files today, and I found this.

Anyone have any idea what this is, or should I just go call an exorcist?
seems ur phone's sdcard or external sd card is infected.
there are two alternates::
1) scan ur memories with antivirus by connecting it with pc and after that reset ur phone)
or
2)format both ur memories.
Make reset of ur phone ( go to settings/privacy/factory reset)
Hopefuly ur problem ll be gone. Nd next time make sure to ask questions in question answers sub forum
or should I just go call an exorcist?

Only if he is good in formatting a SD card Because there is just 'something' corrupt...
Try to back up everything, (maybe trough your phone?)...
If that doesn't work try to do the error check (properties>hardware>scan voor errors)...
If that doesn't work you can format the disk (not quick!), and the problem should be solved
I should also mention that the SGS in question is Bell's i9000m... Maybe the internal SD is about to fail?
that definitely looks like a corrupted SD card
you can try to reformat it, and see how much longer it'll live until it dies completely
Aw damn, I forgot to knock on wood. Internal SD is dead again, second SGS. ):

[Q] All on board storage tied up in "system memory"

My girlfriends note three just gave her a low memory notification over the weekend. To my surprise storage is showing 29 gigs of the factory 32 tied up in "system memory". I can't seem to figure out what is taking up so damn much space. The phone is running hyper drive Version 7. I'm sure I'm leaving out some kind of important information so just ask. Thanks.

My guess that this has something to do with the ROM Slots in safestrap? Boot into recovery - is this rom on the stock slot? I always install to the stock slot so I have all memory available to me unlike installing to the other slots.

Didn't even think of that. I bet that's what the problem is. I'm pretty sure I left the stock slot alone. Thanks. I'll check it out.

Strong Leap-S1 Android TV Box Writing Denied

Recently I have purchased both devices Strong Leap-S1 and Thomson THA100 , both are working fine, I have mounted external SD card on it.
I have noticed that if I run a ftp application on Thomson THA100 I can copy a movie to SD card of it.
However this is not possible on Leap-S1 , I can run ftp on it however I cant write anything on SD card on it. it shows Writing is denied.
May I know how to fix it?
Are you using the same microSD card on both devices? Or, if you are using different microSD cards in each device, are they both formatted the same way?
Is your build for the Strong different than the following:
Strong/HP4005/LAS:10/QTT5.200819.003/C2.0.6_20210317:user/release-keys
What about for the Thomson? Is the build date newer, older, or about the same as the Strong?
Strong licenses the Thomson name from Technicolor (S.A.), and the THA100 is identical to the Leap-S1, save for the color of the case and the remote style.
The firmware is very similar, although the bootloader for each is encrypted differently and there may be other slight differences. But if the build dates are close between the two, the operation of the firmware should be pretty much the same.

I have the same issue, without any solution yet. Is this an issue specific to the Leap S1 box or a general AndroidTV problem?
Same here, really annoyed about this fact. I like to copy movies/shows onto the device, hence I got a 64GB SD card and now I can't use it, but only have like 4GB space available. Why would such a blockade even be implemented?
