I have been flashing my hd2 for over a year and having lots of fun along the way with a lot of help from the members on this site.
I am a bit confused with the partitioning of the sd card and what ext 1, 2 etc mean.
Could someone point me in the direction of an explaination of what this does and why I need it, I have searched but could not find anything, apologies if it has already been answered.

It's a storage system. Like Fat32, NTFS etc.
as for how, check here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905841
There are a few threads to check depending on WHY you want the partition.
If it's for clockwork mod (CWM) or app2sd(+). Read the relevant threads.
Hope This Helps.

Hello Guys;
I am so tired of this! I tried what I could to understand the benefit of ClockwarkMod & Recovery Mod! What is the difference between them & why should we use it while we have the NAND? I have HD2.
I have many data in my SD card, will they wipe all my life's information if I used one of the methods?
If I tried to get one of the ROMs I find only three files!!! META-INF, system and (I don't recall the 3rd one) sorry! How will I flash those?!
Also, there are some ROMs which have the word ZIP before the name! AND the App2SD or Ext2SD? What are those!!!!!!
I am sure that one of you will find me boring, but to be honest, at least I have learned things @ the XDA where things are explained more efficiently, I have reached a level where I can flash a NANA Android (cause it is simple) and that was from the help of XDA, on top of that, I am the only person among 2000 people who knows how to deal with the HD2!
I apologize for the way I am asking your help but it is the only way I have, and I am desperate as well. I am sure I will understand is steps are mentioned by degrees and I will promise I will understand because I am waiting for someone to reply, hopefully!
However I'm massively confused and I would appreciate XDA members who can help me grasp, comprehend & assimilate the methods mentioned above. Please help!!!
THANK YOU XDA and Members, cheers…[/LEFT][/LEFT]

IT BURNS IT BURNS! MY EYES!!!
I could not read one line of what you wrote because of that font... And I bet that not much people will read it because of that not-so-good font and style...

I been a self-confessed flash addict for a lonnngggg time, and i hate all this clockwork stuff, ext2,3...4...blah blah.
While i appreciate every single breath the Devs take, I stick with simple NAND DFT...double click, wait 2 mins...done!!
tried clockwork stuff....zero diff to me.

The font really burns the eyes had to highlite it to read it lol
Anyway, the benefit of using clockwork recovery is definitely worth it.
It offers easy backups of your data or even the entire rom to your sd card...
It allows you to use the zip files(be it the rom itself or update or kernel or whatever) with out unzipping straight from the sd card, meaning u dont need a to flash the rom using your pc u just simply put the zip file on the sd card and do it thru clockwork.
Whats awesome you can store multiple backups of different roms on your sd card and be anywhere without your pc and just switch from rom to rom.
you can even download the roms straight into the sd card using your phone totally bypassing the use of the computer
once an updated rom version comes out all you have to do is put in on your sd card rename it "update.zip" and you can update it keeping all your files and settings (data)
App2sd is used when you want to give your phone more storage space (especially if you dont have the us version of hd2 leo that has the 1024mb rom(internal memory)
this way you can install more applications or store more data on your sd card
Hopefully this helps you out a little bit
Thanks yall! I'm sorry for the font!
Any body know a noobish way to convert cwr zip's to a SD (boot from haret/WM) ?
Thank's in advance !
There is no noobish way to do that...
You know an other way you can share maybe?
I am 100% sure it cannot be done easily, never heard of a method to convert it anyway. I am not a chef,but I guess you have to cook it separately, just ask the chef of a ROM you'd liked to have in a NAND form, and maybe (but probably not) he will cook a nand version.
Its just that i wanna change the clockwork file's to a SD build.
If i extract the cwr zip file ,i have no system.ext file ,its a system folder.
Haret is missing to ..

thats why a few posts up it was saiud no easy method of doing it
unfortunately if it was as simple as 1 click then everyone would be making their own roms
The fact that it was said that there is no easy method is sufficient to get our developers going -- they will create such a solution, since it would be considered a challenge.
This is XDA after all.
Hi i have problem with android. I installed android 4.1.2 JellyBean. And i have 4 GB SD card with FAT32 and EXT4 partition (EXT partition is around 1 GB)
No1. Full internal memory there is only around 70 MB occupied.
No2. When i restart smartphone it want me to set settings, wifi password and gmail account.
What you recommend fully clean and then install hspl and others again?
If do can you help me i know how to install magdlr then i want help.
Can someone help? I am noob i know this has been my first flash and i am really frustrated because it isnt working.
You need to give a lot more information. What ROM did you flash? What partiton size did you use? Have you flashed an A2SD script or used Link2SD? The amount of 'internal storage' you have depends on a variety of factors, just saying that you have a JB ROM and an EXT partition won't help too much.
As for the second password, do you mean you have to go through the setup wizard each time? I don't see any reason why you shouldn't enter your GMail account or WiFi password, you're going to need both on the phone anyway.
I flash this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1930240
Partition size for FAT32 is around 2,7 GB and EXT4 around 1 GB.
I dont know what is A2SD.
Yeah after restart here is setup wizard again.
PLEASE someone help me. Why on this forum no one dont wanna help?
Are you like when people have problem and cant repair it and you just look **** this forum.

Yeah, that's really not going to get you any help. I was considering giving you some advice (well, I already gave you some) but now I think not. If you actually tried searching about your problem you'd be able to find tonnes of info on how to 'fix' low internal storage issues. As for your second issue, I've never heard of it before so even if I wanted to help I wouldn't be able to.

the needed information for people to help them
that rom has 3 different install methods
and you still have not posted your partition size
so if i was you i would click on that link in Nigeldg signature that says Some people REALLY need to read this!
then come back and try to post something we can help you with

You need to post what type of installation you did,
Nand
Nand with Data on EXt
or NativeSD
You problem I think is that the EXT partition isn't being mounted on boot. probably a bug with the installer package. I don't know.
You should really be asking help from the one who created the rom.
I recommend to install the PACman_leo_v1.2a_div3 (JB 4.1.2) to nand on clk (150MB partition), the card class 6 or 10 for that format, for example (2GB SD and 2GB ext4) initrd_patcher use and will walk like a formula 1
Problem with instalation
Hi guys i have been from some time on this forum but never needed to ask a question because i had no problems till now.
I tryed to instal [DEV/ROM/4.2.1] [Jan 13 2013] VJ CM10.1 | Jelly Bean 4.2.1 - v4.5 for HD2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2097273
on instalation i get the folowing error assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "leo" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "leo" E error in sdcard/CM10.1_VJ_4.2.1_V4.5.1_with_GApps_HD2.zip (Status 7) Instalation aborted
I tryed to reply a question to the topic starter but i cant write in the development compartment since i dont have 10 post yet
If you dont know how to help me please repost my message on the thread indicated above.
Thank You in advance!
Are you on MAGLDR? I think from what I've read on that thread that some are having issues with getting it to work with NativeSD on MAGLDR. If that's the case, try what it says in this post.

I have been using my S5360 for quite a long while,and as we all know,the main problem is with internal memory of 190.You can't even have ten market apps at once in your phone.I have tried quite a lot of things,like changing custom roms,using link2sd,busybox method,but after all,whenever we move app file,its dex files and data files are always to internal memory.I am quite tired of all this,and really looking for help.As this forum is well known for pro geeks,I hope someone might point me in the right direction.
Hyperion 9 is recommended.Please don't create these type of thread which puts a question on the hardwork of the Developer of the ROM.

Certainly not!As I mentioned,i was only concerned about more internal storage,i did not doubt any of the roms' quality,I am in no position to be judgemental.

Fair enough , as for android, you will need an sdcard. A lot of your media, music, pictures etc is stored on the sdcard. Assuming you have an international HD2 (not tmous), most recent roms require an ext4 partition on the sdcard too.
As for broken/outdated links, there may well be mirrors posted in the threads too (search thread for "mirror"). Some people still have certain roms on hdd, so try to post on the thread for a mirror (you have <10 posts, so your post will be redirected to new q&a thread, but we will still see it). Some Devs have requested in the first post that no mirrors be posted for their roms, there is not a lot we can do about that besides asking them for a policy change.
Hope this helps
