Everything on the ROM works great , however I'm having an issue getting the camera to work it keeps saying no sd card found ......
I'm not sure what the setup is suppose to be on the SD card,
I've tried fat32 primary then ext 3
then fat32 prim them fat 32 again
anyone help me out
Had a similar problem with another build which worked well but it couldn't find the SD where it(self) was installed.
I have tried 3.2.2 and the camera works fine so probably it is better to just reinstall the OS.
I don't understand why you had an ext3 partition I did use just a fat32 and it worked fine.

it's my understanding that you should start with a nice clean format so format the whole sd card.
then get a partition program of your choice that can do what is needed.
move resize the first primary fat32 so that you have unallocated space of 1024. that space then needs to be assigned primary ext3. then format and that's what i did with my card and all seems fine.
then format and all should be good at least that's what i did with the partition program.
maybe your sd card isn't reading right i also read some cards were hit or miss on rafdroid.
I've tried different cards from different manu's still nothing tried formtaing differently same result, not sure what I'm missing
Not sure if you solved your problem. I had the same issue with SD RAFDROID 4.2 on a 16GB class4 SanDisk microSD card.
original partitions were:
FAT32 - 64K block size - primary
ext3
linuxswap
RAFDROID didn't detect an SD card when it came to camera and other operations that were SD dependant.
I used minitool and changed the partitions to a single FAT32 partition, with 32K bloxk size and set to primary and it worked like a charm ... this build is really good!
You may wanna backup the folders on your SD to your pc.

After a few questions I decided to write a TUT how to get a smaller wp7 partition.
Better: I tried to write a TUT
What you need: your sd card, a SECOND SD CARD with less storage, partition app for pc(I used EASEUS Partition Master 6.5.2 Home Edition), usb cardreader
1st step: flash wp7 with magldr when the SMALL sd card is in your phone or perform a hard reset with the smaller card when you have already flashed wp7.
2nd step: connect both sd cards to your pc and run the partition app.
Delete the filesystem of your BIGGER sd card.
3rd step: copy the wp7 partition from the small sd into the unallocated space of your big sd.
Now create a new partition(FAT32) of the rest unallocated space and convert from logical into primary partition. The drive letter must be set on your fat32 partition! Otherwise your pc will not find it. In front of your wp7 partition should be a “ * “.
I used 4gb and 16gb sd cards so I got 3.5gb wp7 partition and 11.5gb fat32 left on my 16gb card .
Sorry for my English
Hope it can help anyone of you guys and don’t forget to thank DFT for LEO70
Wouldn't it work to have 2 sd cards?... 1 for wp7 and 1 for android. Just make sure the phone is off when you switch them and make sure the wp7 card is in when you boot into wp7. I want to try that... have my 16gb for wp7 and my 32gb for android. Has anyone been able to boot android off sd with magldr yet?
EDIT: Oops, I actually posted this in the wrong thread. Sorry.
Hmmmm tried doing this but failed, I think it's due to my card reader only being able to read Micro SD and not Micro SDHC, tried doing it through magdlr usb was a no go, could change the partition but not wipe it, nice idea though, I'm sure many will find it helpful
So all i want to do is take everything off my 4gb sd card and use an 8gb sd card so that I have more storage space. Everything works great as is, and I wanted to keep everything as is. Just need more storage space. I've looked through the forums and haven't found anything that addresses this process. I am running CyanogenMod 7.0.3 w/a 4gb sandisk micro sd card. How do I copy so that it boots just like my 4gb card???? Thanks ahead of time for any help.

I recommend just writing an image file with winimage. Then writing it to a 8gb card, then using Easeus Partition manager to expand the last partition to full 8 gb.'
Do you boot from the SD card or eMMC?
If it's the latter, just copy the contents of the old card to the new one.
If it's the former, I recommend a fresh install; use a backup program (MyBackup, Titanium Backup) to back up your Apps and Data and then restore when you're done with the fresh install.
I'd like to do this as well.. in response to previous reply.. there are 4 partitions (boot, 2 other and last one with your data) do I have to create 4 different images with winimage or just for the first boot partition or does the winimage creates the image of the whole msd card?
The winimage will create a 4 gb image of your card on the 8 gb cards including existing partitions. What you'll need to do is get the largest partition to expand to the whole card. Assuming that the 4gb install on SD is the same as an 8 gb install if you did it fresh.
If the partitions are set different for 8 gb on a fresh install, you're better off just doing a fresh install and use titanium backup as the other guy said.

That's a good point, the Size-agnostic SD installer uses different partition sizes for everything except the boot partition depending on the size of the card.
I tried winimage first to see if it even worked. Which it didn't. I didn't try to expand the existing partition. It just booted as a normal nook. You would think this would be a easy process but.... Lol, always new challenges. Guess that's why I enjoy doing this.
Well I tried yet again w image, expanded the partition. Still. Didn't work. I must be missing something. How hard can it be to make a copy of a bootable card? Must b brain dead today! Any other thoughts? Thanks!

I have done this several times, and I recommend downloading easus todo backup free. Then place both sdcards in a card reader, run todo backup and just copy the 4g to the 8g and expand the fourth partition right there in todo.
This applies especially if you want to copy to same size sd's, as you will not run into the usual image sizing issues.
Hope this helps
I don't know what you're doing wrong. before expanding the partition, make sure the sd boots, if it doesn't, then there's a problem with image being read or written as opposed to the partition.
I also had a problem with a new SD card not booting that I fixed by using the nook (that is the core nook OS) to reformat the card, then put the image onto the SDcard (shouldn't have changed anything as far as I know, but it did anyway).
Ok I tried this and it worked flawlessly. Used win32diskimager to "read" my 4gb sd with cm7 image. and then used "write" to 8gb sd card. It cloned 4 gb original image with 4 partitions and one unused partition of 4 gb. After that used easeus partition manager(latest version) to format unused pattition to fat32 and then merged with last partition of 2gb (move/resize) ..so now I have 6 gb of data partition which i can use to transfer files or move apps from nook's internal drive. The new 8gb card with cm7 image booted without any issues keeping my original settings of 4gb. One thing to mention that somehow it did not work on one pc with windows xp (kept getting write error on win32diskimager program)but worked on my laptop with windows 7.
That is exactly how I have done it in the past as I described in my first post. I don't know why a person would have trouble with it unless there was a format issue (i.e. ntsf, etc).
Hi all,
One question:
Can it be, that with some SD-cards the creation of an ext partition is not possible?
I've got a sandisc 32GB card in my HTC HD2.
I formatted it in an external reader under XP using 'card formatter' in fat32.
Then I used partition manager to create one big fat32 partition, cluster size 4096 an a small, 1GB ext4 partition, same cluster size. Both are set to primary, first is fat, second is ext.
It doesn't matter, if I choose ext2, 3 or 4, as soon as I insert the card in my phone, the ext partition is not seen by it...
Using Titanium Backup, the ext partition should show up...
Under XP, in partition manager, everything works out smooth and both partitions show up fine.
Thank you for your suggestions!

what do you mean when you say ext partition is not seen by phone?
When you open titanium backup, in the lower part of the window, it shows:
System-ROM: 'size(free)'
Intern: 'size(free)'
SD-card: 'size(free)'
and then there should be ext?: 'size(free)'
but it doesn't show up...

Format the SD-card using CWR (P.s. everything gets deleted on the SD-card)
in CWR, the card gets formattedd, but no ext partition comes up
I tried several times, but checking in my cardreader, there is no ext partition
I read and tried already so many tutorials and howtos from xda and other forums, that for now, I'm a bit confused...
Some of them say, the ext partition has to be the first, and others say, it has to be the second...
But all point out, both have to be primary and clustersize should be 4k...
So I start to think, maybe its because the card is too big?
All reports refer to cards smaller than 32GB...
what rom are you using ?
[OCT16] AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB2.3.7 CM7 | bk2sdext [KERNEL:ACA823]
thats an SD build isnt it? i dont think the ext partition works on sd builds but i could be wrong
an ext partitoin is used on nand builds, what exactly are you needing the ext partion for?
no, its a NAND-build, runs on clk...
I was running it from SD for over half a year and switched to NAND-version mid september...
From that time on I tried to get the ext stuff running, by reading and trying, but now I decided to ask
Weird.. I stick my SD-card in a computer and remove all partitions leaving it blank. Then CWR-partition it. Has worked for me all the time..
Can you try with a smaller card??
For me its weird too, I briefly followed every tutorial I've seen so far, moving the ext partition from the beginning to the end, trying different cluster sizes...
Thats why I ask if it might be the size of the card, everything else is working fine.
I've got a 2GB card lying around somewhere I'll try to find it and see if that one works.
One thing, thats making it a pain in the a.. to try again and again is, that in the meantime I've got about 16GB of music on my card, which is taking some time to copy everything back
Ok, just to end this:
I managed, to get it to work.
I didn't change anything in my setup, but after downloading Link2SD from the market, my ext4 partition is recognised and working
It's still not recognised by TB or other skripts, but thats ok for me, as long as I can use it...
I was going to upgrade my rom to the new flexreaper rom and i figured i would partiton my sd card... but when i did it seemed to happen a little bit quickly.. so i checked my sd card and all my data was still there (therefore it did not wipe it) which makes me think it was not partitioned.
Also when i hit partition sd card - i picked 1024 for ext size (i have a 16 gb sd) and 0 swap - then partitioning sd card and done appeared almost at the same time which puzzled me...
can anyone tell me if it is actually partitioned or not or is it even worth it to partition a sd card on a tablet?
Thanks.
Hi,
I wonder if someone can help me, I've got WP7.5 install as a NAND installation, with Android 4.0.4 as a SD installation. Both work brilliantly, although I do have some slight problems.
Android won't detect an SD card installed, so I can't use some apps, that require an SD card to be present.
Does anyone know if there is a fix for this, surely I'm not the only person in this position.
Cheers
I'm guessing it's because your SD has been formatted specially by WP, and Android can't read this. Your FAT32 partition is probably too small for anything to be stored in it.
The Fat32 partition is 1.6Gb.
Is it worth making that bigger, or creating another FAT32 partition?
Cheers
Hmm, I'd guess that you wouldn't have any more than 200-300MB free on your SD as read by SD Android then. I don't know how much an SD Android build takes up but the data.img is at least 1GB of that. As for increasing the partiton/creating a new one, I don't actually think that's possible without losing your data is it?
Hi,
Thanks for your help.
I'm not too fussed about losing anything...
Here is what I have just tried without any success.
I have a 8Gb card partitioned like this.
1.*Gb
Primary, FAT32, (Android SD install)
2Gb
Primary, FAT32, (My hope would be that Android would see this as the SD card)
4Gb Other (WP 7 partition)
No luck unfortunately, any ideas?
Cheers
Are you sure you're using an 'unlockable' WP7.x ROM? If so, try formatting the storage card to normal and flash a Android build, see if it utilises the memory card like normal, if it does, then I would say that you're doing something wrong when setting it up.
Just double check each step of a tutorial (example: this one) twice and hopefully you'll only have to flash one more time.
Why do you have 2 fat 32 partitions ?...just use one fat 32 partition..in regular sd android....data image is used as internal memory and fat 32 part as sd card
I believe your second partition is not being recognised...make only one fat 32 partition you don't need two
