I Created ext2 Partition on my sdcard now i dont know how to run android on it? can i use any rom by moving it to the ext2 partition ? if yes so how to run iy from winmo i know that windows mobile cant see the ext2 partition so how can i run Android from Winmo? is there a certain versions for this or any android rom will work . please help me in this guys .
Windows will not be able to read ext2. Your only use for ext2 is assign it to be used as a swap partition. Whenever windows sees any ext2 partitions it will ask you to format your SDcard.

Seriously this is your 3rd post on this and they are all in the wrong forum. Spam?

i know that i need to know the steps to install android on ext2 partition . is any version works ! if yes so please tell me how to make it works.
What's the point of creating the ext2 partition in the first place? You don't need it. All you have to do is place the android build folder in your sd card and run clrcad and haret. Seriously, every build thread has the step by step instructions and they all say the same thing.

haret will look for the kernal in a fat32 partition, so even if you had an .ext2 partition (as I do) you will only have app data in there (apps2SD).
It may be possible to create an .ext2 partition and populate it with the system.ext2 data required for android, but I do not see anything else going in there. So, it would be pointless... then android would be reading from two partitions at once... seems slower to me.
What is you purpose for doing this? And I read the previous explanation which, with all 'due respect', makes no sense.
If you want it segregated from your other files, make two fat32 partitions.
right hears my $1 worth of a idea....
1st he has a diamond, the diamond doesnt have a memory card its all internal so yes it will have ext2 i think
2nd no point in going on about it and bad mouthing people.
3rd just get along with each other.

im trying to do this only because my friend told me that Android on ext2 partition is running more faster he tested on both fat32 and ext2 and i thought that if its done to diamond so it must be done for hd2 but seems like its not yet.

So heres the low-down:
My (4GB) SD Card is partitioned as so:
1.8GB fat32
1GB ext2 (system)
1GB ext2 (data)
I've put the latest basefiles (20091116) in the fat32 partition along with the senseHERO 1.3.3 build. i boot up haret go through the installer for the data. finish all the steps and once it starts to boot, i either get "android_power wakeup" or "ERROR: CANNOT LINE EXECUTABLE 's/system/bin/sh' "
it wont boot into the build and it's kinda buggin me out man.
so if anyone has any idea on what i should do please help. thanks people
Not sure what the issue is, but your ext2 partitions are much much larger than they need to be.

First time around you want to run the recovery, then you want wipe data and and backup. Then you should be good to go.
Android power wakeup sounds like it's not using the proper init.rc file, confirm that you have the init.hero.rc in your init folder on the sdcard.

I would like step-by-step info on how to format my SD card to have an EXT2 partition.
I currently use Windows 7.
What tools or downloads are required? I've searched a bit but can't find a tutorial.
Thnx in advance!
Don´t know if this have been posted before, but I have not entered here ( HD2 forum) for the last 3 months, I was busy with the Galaxy Tab. Ok going directly to the point, after having problems with my Android Build in HD2 I was looking for something new in the Hd2 Nand Developtment forum. Most releases, and developers advises to create an ext3 partition before to flash any rom, or at least for those with a 512 LEO one.
I searched in Google for any software that could do the work in Windows. Although we can use a Linux Live CD to do this, we need to do some extra processes like downloading Linux LiveCD, booting your computer into that Live CD and so on, also you can use clockwork recovery menu but is a very slow process (for me).
Finallly I have found a great software tool called Minitool Partition Wizard Home Edition, that let to make any partition tipe from Windows in a couple of minutes. Its free.

How do I format the SD card as Ext4 and then make a partition of about 750mb on it?
If you have a card reader you could just boot your computer with linux (live cd or usb stick) and use linux tools (gparted etc) to partition the card.

You can actually just connect via USB. Then right click on it in Linux and chose Format. Then go into the advanced options. (I use Ubuntu and have used LinuxMint in the past)

If the rom you're using supports A2SD (every rom doesn't) there's probably instructions in the thread for that. Here's from LeeDroid's thread:
LeeDroid said:
Q: What is A2SD+
A:
A2SD+ Moves your apps & Dalvik cahche to a hidden EXT partition on your MicroSD
You will be required to format you SD card with 2 partitions as laid out below
How do i set up my MicroSD ready for A2SD+
A:
Backup all data on you SD card (this will be Formatted)
The card should be formatted with your standard FAT32 partition 1st followed by an EXT3 partition (I would recommend a minimum 512mb)
Linux users use GParted or a similar software.
For everyone else I would recommend using Rom Manager or CWM
Once you have downloaded ROM manager from the market, open the app and click partition SD Card, Select your EXT size and set 0mb for swap
Restore your data to your SD.
Flash the A2SD+ Patch
Boot << Please be aware, 1st boot may take a while depending on how many apps you have installed.

As I said, every rom doesn't support A2SD and those who do have it probably mentioned in the OP of the rom thread (RCMix3D doesn't atm). You can't add A2SD support by flashing, you can only flash the A2SD patch to a rom that supports it.

Excuse me for going off-topic a bit
But why are there so many people focused on moving every application to the SD card?
It can't be for the space... I just counted and I have 70 apps installed on my internal memory, using 274 MB with 883 MB free.

I dont know about other people but for me, there is a new rom out every day and full wiping makes sure nothings wrong and if the apps are on the SD then its just easier you dont have to worry about losing your apps
But always you can use Titanum Backup to backup your apps.
Hmm.. So, ext4... For what? I know, ext4 is newest than ext3, but performance ext4>ext3 or for what?

ext4 is the same as ext3, but has journalling initialised that makes it more fault tolerant. Don't take my word for it read me here

I have Android in NAND and I was running out of memory. So I made an partition on my SD. So that apps automaticly are going to install on my SD. That partition was 2GB. I use a ton of apps and within a week the partition was full. So how can I make that partition bigger WITHOUT losing any data?
Do a full cwm backup (titanium backup too, just in case)and also backup the fat partition of the SD card, reformat to desired size, then in cwm choose backup/restore, advanced - restore sd-ext, then restore your fat partition stuff too(important that bit, because there's android stuff on the fat partition too)
you can potentially just do a full restore from cwm rather than a selective sd-ext restore, but id try the selective restore first.

+1 - I have a fair number of apps including games and stuff, most of which are in my EXT partiton, and yet I have only used up around 350MB. Are you linking the libs files as well?Or did you create a smaller partition than you thought, as Marvlesz suggested (perhaps 256MB)?

Most of the scripts have to be flashed right before instalation of the rom.
So flash a script in a rom with all the apps already installed is not a good idea.

flash the script BEFORE the rom?? that would be a neat trick to see.
@op, i use int2ext+ with the aokp jb rom from that thread, , flash the rom, let it set up, (dont bother with for example google account details and what not, just let it set up till you see the desktop).reboot, flash the script(you HAVE created teh ext partition already right? cos this script doesnt create it), reboot, then install your apps and data and such .

Hi,
how are you today? For me good, thanks for asking, ha ha ha hanb
It's alredy my second thread for today, all problems, wow.
So I will try to explain, like in the thread before, I got HTC HD2 and I have Mdeejay eVo on my sd card and I launch Android from WM6.5.
The Android which I use have already the data_1024 folder, inside data.IMG file which it use for storage the Androids apps, but from my research I find the news to some how edit my microsd card and set-up a Partition which be the sobstitute of the data_1024.
I will be glad to know HOW?
Like I said, I got my Android on sd and I try for a week to find the solution with no success, I try to make a ext3 partition on sd of 2048mb but the android do not see that partition. I can't flash anything because on my ROM is WM 6.5.
I also will be glad to make another data_2048 folder with inside data.IMG file, if the Partition can't be done.
Please guys let me know how do I have set-up the partition for the Android?
Thanks.
hmmm not really sure here, but you can make a back up of your SD card then use minitool partition to partition & create EXt3/ Ext 4 / Fat 32 partitions, try the links below they might help

before post here I already saw your thread and like I said I do not have MALGDR on my phone or CWM, also I don't know which type of partition need my Android but I am sure is not the last type of Androids which they have the folders; kernel, META-INF, sdcard (inside NativeSD) and system folder. My Android is whit rootfs.img with external data_1024 folder for storage system.
I used Gparted live and I made a partition of 2048mb of ext3 partition but the Android do not see the partition because somehow I can't make a link to it.
I want more storage for my Android and delete data_1024 folder so I try to figure out, with some help, how to do that?
Any ideas?
Use toporesize app on pc to expand your present data img size without losing present data. . To get more space. .No need for ext 3 and all
Search for topo resize
If youwant to use apps 2 sd or link 2sd app from market to use ext 3.. Then you can move apps to sd ... That is for nand installs. . You don't need that on sd builds. ...
You try native sd builds. . Fastest ever.sd builds. . You can boot from wm also . You need ext4 partition for it. ..

Thanks mate, this is something great!
So I do not need a special partition for my android, good to know.
I know the last Nand Androids are good but I have old phone with old Android and he work fine, I try to put Native SD Android on my sd but too complicated and I do not have so much time. At the moment I find Mdeejay very fast and good, I tryed AmeriCan Android, CM7 and 10 and really I am not comfortable with them like with Mdeejay, so it's ok like that. ! problem solver, I just try to update my kernel - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1976835 - and I am ok.
Thanks.

End of the Party, Guys, I was happy to soon!
I used toposize to made data.img for my android but I got problems.
If I resize data.img system partition, first of all, I got the error on e2fsck (see the pic) and i have to click ok to compleate the operation and after that I put the data.img into Anrdoid forlder and I replace the original (backups before) but the Android do not turn on, he stuck in HTC Logo.
If I made a clean data.img with ext3 system partition and I replace the data.img into the Android folder, he do not turn on and he stuck in Android logo.
If I use the original data.img from the package the Android turn on normally.
Do I forgot to do something? Do I missing something?
sorry, I forgot the pic.... here we go...

you are keeping data .img in a folder?...data.img should be in android folder..no further subfolders...and delete that stupid ext3 partition..you dont need it.
try native sd..it is very simple (for you to dual boot with windows mobile):
you need ext4 partition..use minitool partition manager to create it
then put selected rom zip (like pacman hd2 rom..."the best rom") on sd card
put 4ext recovery folder on sd card..open it , click clcrad and haret inside...follow screen instructions to install rom
Reboot and boot the ROM by executing the usual clcrad and haret stuff inside the NativeSD folder.
thats it.

ohh, well, yes, the data.img is in Android folder, not subfolders or external folders, I said so because in my package of Mdeejay are 2 folders, Android and data_1024. The data_1024 is all ready done to make a fast boot instantly but if I do not use it Android make the clean data into his root folder.
About the partition you get confused a little bit because when I used toporesize to made a clean data.img file to use it in android folder, the app ask me in which system the file have to be, ext2, ext3 or NONE. So no 1 of this data.img worked.
I hope I clarifide, I do not have ext3 partition on sd, is the data.img. that's all.

I don't know about that, currently I have a working Android (not jet set-up like I want too) but I will see if I sholud do all this stuff. I am not so deep in this stuuf and just reach when I reach now, get me tired. So I take in the consideration you advice but now I have to have 1 android working well.
Ok, some bad news:
I did in different way to set-up my storage image, I let Android to made a clean data.img into his folder, after he finished installation and start running well I take the data.img of 1GB and with toposize I resize the image to 3GB. Like I said before, he give me this crap error but I really do not understand why? If Android made a clean data.img in his folder which errors can be made?
So I click ok anyway and made this file and I replaced the 1GB with 3GB with unclarifide done error fix.
He works for feew hours, smooth and fast, I start installing appps and games. Like many games they ask for downloading some updated files so I start downloading 450mb for 1 game and after 20 minuts Android crashed and he do not turn on anymore, he stuck in Android logo.
Are you sure this crap "TOPOSIZE" working? or it's just ME?
Guys, please help, I get confused and I don't know how to do it.
