okay i have a rooted g1 running cyanogenmod 4.04 with enoch theme 8gb card with 400 mb ext 2 so and i have apps on my SD .. problem im having is when i moutn my phone to my computer to add music via banshee ( i have linux on my m1330 which is amazing) i put the music on but when i unmount from computer i get a bad sd card error and have to wipe reformat sd card and whatnot to get it back again.. anyone know why this is happening or what i can do to fix it?
I've read a few other posts of people having problems with ext2 partitions on their sdcards, you could try and run upgrade_fs from the console after booting into recovery, which will upgrade your ext2 partition to ext3. That may require a wipe afterwards
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.
Phone: mytouch 3g 1.2 rooted
OS: ginger yoshi 1 RC7
SD card partitioned using recovery menu.
Ok, I have a rather large sd card and my computers are all linux. So naturally i wanted a very large ext partition on my sd card and a small fat partition for compatibility when i'm on someone else's computer.
The problem i have is is that within the phone, nothing can see the contents of the ext partition, despite app2sd apparently working (using ginger yoshi rc7).
I would really rather store things like mp3s and such in ext format but the card only seems to want to expose the fat partition to any apps.
Does anyone know what i can do to fix this ?
also, ginger yoshi says it supports ext4 but it's mounting my ext4 upgraded partition (all done in recovery) as ext2. suggestions?
Hey guys,
hope someone could help me. I flashed the newest version of BoyPPC-Shift PDA. I partitioned my SD Card (8Gb) to Fat and EXT3. Now I have the problem with the internal memory. I also put the Data2SD folder and the .config to the SD Card before flashing the ROM with CWM.
Unfortunately it doesn't work. Do i have to partition the SD Card to EXT4 and put then the Data2SD folder and the .config to the SD Card? I don't have any experience with EXT4. Before i used Rafroid and everything worked fine with EXT3.
Thanks a lot for your help
i got the same problem exactly and apparently no one knows a solution i iwsh it was like DHD where it works automatically also note that this issue has been always there with all BOYPPC Builds if u go to to the Memory settings it reads the EXT3 size but all the apps are installed on the internal memory so i do not know whether it is a bad script or what exactly
Hello, i´m from germany and my english is not good...
but i try to help..
I use the BoyPPCShiftPDA DHD Rom with 1GB app2sd and my SD Card is completely formatet to FAT32 (8GB).
To use the app2sd feature i extract the files from the attachment and put the folder and the config file to my sdcard.
This works perfectly for me.
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...
