First of all, I dunno if it is the right sub-forum, but I can't post in development forum (10 posts limit).
As in topic. Installed this ROM, applied the vold patch. Doesn't show me the message in that upper bar (forgot the word ) that the card is unmounted. How can I fix this? Don't want to format the card, because it is 8GB class probably 2, so exchanging files again between my PC and phone would last for ages. Thanks for help.

Do you have ext partition on card? If yes remove all partitions and create only one FAT or FAT32 partition. If you don't have ext partition format your card with phone. First backup your data from card
No, I don't have any other partitions.
I know, that formatting the card will help but I was wondering if mine problem could be solved without doing it, because as I said, backing up and restoring all the data from class 2 card will last at least 3 hours.

Searched before, never did found a good tut for partitioning a SD Card with Success.
Like to partition a SD card to ext/swap/fat32 properly.
Also always wonder, can I install apps on to SD card fat32 partition or ext? rather than the Cell build in memory?(myTouch 3G 1.2)
Can some one point me to a good tutorial to do this?
Or a video tutorial?
Cheer!

Use the option in your recovery image. I think AmonRA's should work just fine.
The ROM your using will decide whether you can install apps to FAT or to EXT partitions. Honestly I would use the EXT partition out of the two because if loaded to FAT you'll lose your Alps when you unmount your SD card. Honestly you've got plenty of internel storage so you shouldn't need it.

Hi
I just sold my Wildfire, but before I sold it I formatted and deleted all the partitions that I had made and reset the phone to factory settings.
Now the guy can't take pictures because the application says "sd card not found".
Could it be that I didn't partition it right? It's a 2Gb original samsung sd card that came with the phone and I partitioned it like this:
~1.9 Gb Fat32
Should there be a swap partition also or an EXT to get the OTA 2.2 froyo to work with Apps2SD ?
Thanks!
No, you don't need any swap or ext3/4 partition in order to get ota, just plain fat partition. He should use a card reader to erase the partition and create again, maybe it will work.
my phone came with a sandisk sd card
Let's him reformat the partitions again, or you can use the tool from rom manager. Maybe you didn't format it right

tell him install ruu from shipped roms. and format the card just by plugging it into pc.
Hi,
Always worth trying the obvious first, is the sd card in the device properly. When I got my wildfire it wasn't and I assumed that I would have to buy an sd card to take pictures etc. I was surprised to find when I look to see what type of card I needed that there was one in there already!

Frustrated with this, ive read that i needed to format the SD card as i have Phone7 so did that but its still saying the above error message.
Could someone tell me what needs to be done to sort this.
Could you clearly state your problem. Or if you think you've done so, be more clear then.
Are you formatting the SD card the right way? Using Panasonic SD Formatter 2.0. If you haven't, try that.
What exactly are you formatting it for? For dual-boot of WP7 & Android? Using an Ext3/4 partition for Android or just want your full storage back on your SD card?
I have formatted the SD card with the Panasonic software. All i want to run is a nand android but as soon as i install a few apps it tells me that the storage space is low. I have re-loaded the Abdroid nand rom after a format of the sd card and still have the same problem.
Can anyone help ?
You have a Leo512 HD2 yeah? (One without T-mobile branding on the top)
If that's the case, you need a ROM (most do) which supports either Apps2SD or Data2SD. You need to create a Ext3/4 partition for it to work.
Use the search bar and you'll find out how to partition your SD card if you don't already know.
Well im thick i searched partition n got no answers
Search for something like "how to make an ext3 partition using minitool". Can't get a link atm as I'm on my phone.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
minitool partition wizard will be good for you i think
This is my first first Tutorial thread in xda!
So,don't mind me and forgive me If i am done wrong something!
Swapper is simple application for "extending memory". Helps when you need some memory for non active applications (like music player + browser + maps + etc...).
Requirement: root, SD/SDHC card and custom kernel that support swap .
Warning: SD card will be used as swap space. It can (and will) shorten SD card lifespan.
1.Downlod Swapper 2 from market! Link: https://market.android.com/details?id=lv.n3o.swapper2
2.Install Swapper2 normally
3.There are 2ways to swap: first use swap by partition and another one is by none partition(But If you partition you can create more 256mb)
4.For using swap by partition u must partition your sdcard by using minitool or etc....(NOTE: partition to linux swap and primary)
5.After you partition you turn off yor phone and then back to xrecovery or cwm to clear cache partition
6.turn on n then open swapper2 normally and go to Preferences of swapper then you check safe to unmount and safe to remount
7.and then you go adavaned preferences and check the Use swap partition and Swap partition set it to /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
8.after that go back to swapper2 and turn it on (wait the process when it say All done It works)
9.Another one way is none using swap partition it easy because swap create it by itself but it can't more then 256mb
10.First Open Swapper2 then go to Preferences of swapper
11.Click on Swap size and click what number that u want to swap 32,48,64..etc
12.Then go back to Swapper2 and turn it on
13.For none using swap partition method It take a while 3minutes or more depend on class of your sd card!!!wait the process untill it say All done It mean that It works
Recommend: For me,I'm using micro sdcard 16G class10 so i partition my sdcard 1500mb for swap ^^ I alway free more ram about 90 to 120
Note: for swappiness it depend on your phone!!for me i can use swappiness 100 smoothy
If you have any question you can ask me more about this
I take my time for making this thread If you think I'm helped you Just Click THANKS for me

I have a problem,when i format my sd card and put swap partition on mini partition tool,when i place my sd card back to phone its says "damaged sd card"...
I have swap running on 2 x8's. 1 is using 7000mb fat, 400 ext2 and 4-500 linux swap, however i cannot see the ext and swap partitions when i connect to pc, even though everything is working fine i would like to know how i can reformat my 8gb sd back to 8gb.
The other x8 has a 2gb unpartioned sd using the other method where a 256mb swap file is created. It works fine and is simple to set up but i have over 90mb free ram on partition set up and 70-80mb on the simple method.
All mine were set up with trial and error and there was no way to really confirm it was set up properly so this thread has confirmed my setup. It could have saved me time a few weeks ago but i'm sure lots of users will find this thread very helpful.
@ mods, I think its time to refresh the stickies as some are obsolete and i believe this thread would be an ideal sticky.
@OP, nice job. Thanks for your contribution to our little x8 section

Don't forget to format after partitioning!
And with minitool for working swap and ext you must connect sd as phone's mass storage->not CWM mount usb storage, booted ROM and connect phone to PC.
Then you'll able to partition your sd. After all FORMAT and all will work.
+1 When you have a 4gb sd you must create FAT, when you have above 4 gb create FAT32. Create first a primary FAT(32), then a primary SWAP/EXT
I partitioned my SD card (4gb class 4) with this propieties
Primary: 3.4GB
Logical: 313MB
But when I put the sd card into the phone, it doesn't recognizes the SDCard.
It's weird because when I browse in my SD card via cwm it shows my files and folders :Z
Anyone knows what the hell i'm doing wrong?

No, it is only showing as 7gb. When I format it stays at 7gb and I can't see the other 2 partitions on the PC. They work with links2sd and swapper. Do I need to remove anything from the rom connected with apps2sd, I'm using kuyadroid with alfs kernel. I have removed everything from the modules folder but my phone storage is low and links2sd says only 2% of ext2 been used even though it successfully links my apps, or so it claims. Sorry for all the questions but if I know then I can help others thanks for your reply

you cannot see the others partition because the card reader or phone shows the 1st partition,you can see the other partition by using partition tool,coz the 1st partition is only mounted which is fat32...

Use partition tool mini software or else. Check you sd card,whether you ext gone or not. But fat32 is not kind of partition dude.

maybe you configured swap partition & ur sdcard is already wear out....
Sounds like you didnt partition you sd card yet buddy?. make sure you sd card "Fat32" format. how many GB you sd card mate? if you go to my computer, your sd card a still the same size?? if yes,thats mean no partition yet.
And imma fully recommend, do not use CWM/USB port to partition your sd card.
Take out Sd card From Phone and Use SD Card Reader.
P/s : go to youtube.com And Search how to partition SD Card Ext3,ext2,ext4 Tutorial.
