Hey ppl
I just got my huawei ideos s7 a week ago and i already ruined it >.<
I wanted to flash FroyoFusion-R2 becuz it has a good apps2sd function
But i think i partioned the sd card wrong and now i cant open it anymore in windows
or with the huawei itself. Internal memory: Unavailable .
Plz HELP
BTW
I partioned it as following:
Ext2 Primary 4gb
Fat32 Logical 4 gb
must recover eclair... then start over. suggest you avoid that rom and use the data2ext4 tri-zet.
If you have clockwork mod install format internal sd and reboot. If it does not work downgrade to 2.1
I had a similar prob but i format the sd using clockwork mod and its ok now

Hello
i have have the same problem.
my Huawei s7 105
i update to 2.2 and make 2 partition fat32 + ext2
but the patition not mountet.
I need ecliar vor the 105
you must
1. make 2nd partition ext2 PRIMARY not logical !!
2. you must EJECT BOTH partitions FAT32 and EXT2 before you turn off usb mode (umount in osx)
3. power off afterwards.
if you lose your internal SD - you must go back to eclair 2.1-u1 and start over. it will format back to full 8gb.
Keep in mind you may want to keep about 1gb for FAT32 and 6GB for EXT2.
The tri-zet uses EXT4!! do not confuse this !! ext2 far inferior to EXT4 but not compatible at all.
Generic Apps2SD i think uses fat32 but we don't see that implementation on any custom rom here.
I've got the same problem.
where can I find "eclair 2.1-u1"
I tried STOCK ROM FOR HUAWEI IDEOS S7 TABLET on this thread
p=12450817"]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12450817[/URL]"
After I installed this .. my screen didn't work anymore. I updated it with the 2.2.2 indonesia rom but still no 8gb internal storage.
please can someone help me
solved!!!!
root your device trough adb with superoneclickv1.7
run trough adb or terminal "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0" nothing will happen but let it run for 3 min
restart your device format and mount your device
That is essentially what the eclair rom does before you had the indo 2.2.2 - you had eclair for the guy asking up in the thread. if its not 2.2 it's eclair (2.1)
no .... "you must go back to eclair 2.1-u1 and start over. it will format back to full 8gb." won't work. root and run the script is the solution no matter what kind of rom you have. going back to the stock rom won't work. try it
it's working !!!!! thank you very much !!

this is not my job, just made easy to share.
So it's taken a lot of reading from a number of different places but I figured out how to modify the boot.img in the Odin CODE tarball in order to flash with an edited init.rc. I realize that with this power I could have simply built a2sd into the boot.img but one step at a time. So for now, if you want a2sd for Gingerbread (S5830XXKPE) then files and instructions can be downloaded using

so do you have a2sd by Darktremor?
Whenever i try to create an ext2 partition in my sdcard, it is not being mount and i get a warning saying that the card should be formatted. if i give yes, it gets formatted as one single partition of FAT32.. Please help
I used MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition in windows for partitioning
for partitioning use gparted
Before upgraded to gingerbread ROM, it was 2.2.1 where there is a app name "link2sd" free from market, which it mount ext2 partition of sdcard and move per apps apk file to sdcard, of ext2 partition, this is more flexible then Darktremor.
Where with Darktremor, the external sdcard will never able to hot remove from phone and plug it back. Which make external sdcard pointless. remove sdcard card will kill / reboot the phone, given without sdcard, phone can not start up. Also slow performance issues.
Where link2sd allow you select large apk only link to external sdcard, when unplug sdcard the phone still works without reboot / halt.

I found so many noobs here in ace forum and so little developers and I want to help you. I come from optimus one forum and i like to help.
You need a custom recovery to create an ext partition and to make darktremor a2sd to worked. Amonra or clockworkmod recovery is the best. Then create an ext partition whether ext2, 3 or 4 then flash dta2sd from the darktremor a2sd thread here in xda(search it). The latest ver is 2753 beta 04.
Remember, without ext partition the dta2sd will not worked.
To check if your a2sd is working, download terminal emulator, press su then enter then type a2sd check.
Or download titanium backup agd check if it says a2sd space=???
Or the best way to check is by a2sdgui app, it is a official app from the dta2sd itself. If it says apps are on sd, then your a2sd worked. And if you guys still reducing memory even after moving apps to sd via a2sd gui app, its time to put the dalvik cache to your sdcard.
Fuh, thats a lot of writing on my phone. I love to help because i will buy galaxy gio soon.
Or maybe you guys should take a look at optimus one forum and learn how to make a custom kernel and rom there. Theres a very good thread on guiding how to build a custom rom and kerne. Im pretty surprise so many noobs here. Like i said i really like to help to improve this community

I have a rooted HTC Wildfire 2.2 with a new 8GB microSD Class 4. I'd like to correctly partition my SDCard so that I can install all applications on SDCard and not Phone Memory.
1- What I need is to help me setting up perfect sizes for SWAP & Ext3 (Perfect matches HTC Wildfire and 8 GB Card).
2- Can I install the stock 2.2.1 ROM over the SDCard?
3- Will all Apps got installed on SDCard after partitioning instead of Phone Memory leaving it empty?
Thank you
nice post i would like to know too!
Try rommanager, chose partition your sd,(instal old clockwork mod like 2.xx, becoz new ones make ext4, which is not compatable with some roms,)choose the greatest avilable size for ext and swap(it may be enough, if u r not app greedy, i had done so, so far i have 50+app installed), reboot-partition-done, the best trouble free way!

Thanks for your reply but I don't want to end up my device because some people reported issues with partitioning part of internal phone memory due to some ROM Manager Partition Manager errors. I'll use a PC client to partition the card.
Rom manager works fine. I've done it a few times. The people having problems probably shouldn't have bought an android phone...... besides if something goes wrong odds are it won't just redo the partition again.
And make sure you backup your SD card before partitioning it.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium
Use recovery (= rom manager) to partition first. If that gives any issues then use "gparted live cd" to partition sdcard. U need to download gparted_live_cd_ISOimage and burn it to a cd. Then using pc u need to boot from live cd to partition sdcard. Here be careful not to format ur pc hard drive.
The partitioning sizes I recommend are 512MB ext , 32MB swap and remaining fat. If that is not sufficient u can choose 1024 MB, 64MB.
If u r using gparted then first create extended partition as fat corresponding to its memory. Then create ext and swap. At last format all those partitions.

so i have conflicting information from this thread and this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19927720#post19927720 on whether or not i am able to create an sdext partition on a factory rom, which i have come to the conclusion that you may be able to, but would you be able to put that partition to use and have apps installed and read from there. please be more specific, i have an LG Opt T running 2.3.3 btw
thanks for any input
I used gParted. It's free. You can find it by fecking googling download and burn to a CD. Then boot it on your PC. Linux will show up. Open gParted from desktop and size your ext and format.
I made 1 GB ext4 and 64 MB Swap. 1 GB is too much for ext since I can't use more than 100 MB. 512 is ok. I read somewhere that Swap isn't used anymore but 64 MB isn't a thing in 8000.
It doesn't matter if its ext3 or 4 since you can flash DT's A2SD to any ROM.
The apps you moved to SD before are not in ext partition. They will stay in FAT partition. To move them to ext, simply move them to phone (after DT's A2SD phone means ext part.

In the second to last post I finally managed to get it to work. (Just to be clear, I used the darktremor script, but not the app, for the app is use S2E and to visualise my usage i use "freespace", but work like a charm ! )

Hello dear developers of [ROM][14.AUG.2011] Ideos S7 Froyo Stable v1.2 - (Android 2.2.2)
2 days ago i just buy new Huawei S7 and i am reading forum more than 4hours.
My device:
Huawei S7 - Clasic NOT SLIM
Firmware version : 2.2.1
S7V100R001C68B111(Brazil Commex)
Lot of questions was answered but i still have some to ask:
1) Can i install this firmware on my device : [ROM][14.AUG.2011] Ideos S7 Froyo Stable v1.2 ???
2) Can i install any of original firmware`s :
S7V100R001C13B115 (Australian Telstra) thanks to goodoane
S7V100R001C57B113(Norway Telenor)
S7V100R001C68B111(Brazil Commex)
S7V100R001C63B110(Sweden Expert)
(or i have to install always some version as i have now) ?
3) I find out for make more internal storage i need to make one 1Gb ext3 partition on my internal storage.
Question about it is: Do i have to do it before i flash my device with new firmware or i have to do it after successful flash ?
one more Question regarding this is: What is better make ext3 on internal storage or in my 4Gb Micro SD Card?
Thanks to all developer`s doing our life better !!!!! REALY BIG THX !!!!!
Nobody skilled enough to answer ?
What i need to do with my new tables is make it somehow possible to expand internal memory because i have free 30MB and i cant install all stuff i want
I figure out i need to flash new ROM in my TABLET to fix this big android issue. (sorry for dam question , but i am very new in Android)
So is this right way how to make ROM working on very new TABLET with original ROM ? :
1) Wipe/Data Factory Reset
2) at FIRST i have to install (flash) : CWM-Install-Script-tri_zet.zip ?
3) After that i have to connect Tablet to my WIN_XP and with partition software resize my EXTERNAL (MICRO SD CARD 4GB) to 3GB FAT32 partition and one 1Gb ext2 partition?
4) To resized FAT32 partition copy your ROM file : Ideos_S7_Froyo-v1.3-EXT4-SA.zip
5) Than restart TABLET and hold volume DOWN button and jump in Clockwork xauBeta recovery which i flash in first step ?
6) Than flash my TABLET with your ROM : Ideos_S7_Froyo-v1.3-EXT4-SA.zip
7) After flash i have to do 2 restart of TABLET for working MARKET and so on ... ???
8) One more Question regarding this is: What is better make ext3 on internal storage or in my 4Gb Micro SD Card?
9) Do you know about any issue with your ROM and S7 - 105 TABLET version?
IS THIS FLASHING TUTORIAL CORRECT????
... after this flash i will never need to install AP2SD and move all instaled APPs on SD CARD? That ROM will do this automatically?
no more install AP2SD or MOVE2SD and use default installation on SD CARD?
Thanks for all your HELP i really appreciate it.
1) yes
2) i don't know.... but go for option 1
3) connect your device and mount you internal sdcard
then make a fat 32 primary partition (leave 1gb open)
then make the rest (1gb) ext4 partition PRIMARY
---------- Post added at 09:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 AM ----------
I wasn't finished yet and presed enter lol
1) yes
2) i don't know.... but go for option 1
3) a) first turn on your device and go to settings/applications/development/usb developmentmode
b) install drivers by running the upgrade.cmd file http://adf.ly/2Lmy8 ("Ideos S7 Froyo 1.3 Upgrade tools")
c) install clockworkmod recovery http://www.multiupload.com/6YNZ1GXHV1
d) connect your device and mount you internal sdcard
e) then make a fat 32 primary partition (for instance 7gb and leave 1gb open (8gb card)) (use EASEUS Partition Master 9.1.0 Home Edition on your pc)
f) then make the rest (1gb) ext4 partition PRIMARY (use EASEUS Partition Master 9.1.0 Home Edition on your pc)
g) unmount your sdcard and mount it again
h) now you have 7gb internal sdcard storage left
i) put the "Ideos_S7_Froyo-v1.3-EXT4-SA.zip" from the (http://adf.ly/2Lmy8 ("Ideos S7 Froyo 1.3 Upgrade tools")) folder into the internal sdcard
k) now turn off your device and hold the call+menu butten and press the power button at the same time. now you are in clockworkmod recovery.
l) go to "install zip from sdcard"/"choos zip from sdcard" and make shure the "ideos_S&_froyo-v1.3-ext4-SA.zip" is inside. don't run it but press two times the back button (yet) if the file is not there or you can not open the sdcard ... restart the device and go back to "d" or "i"

well Hybrid Data2SD is still a jargon for me. It has something to do like you can selectively move app data to sd card so something(not quite sure on this).
We partition our sd card so that we have a partition that is dedicated to apps only. Like its a hidden partition that will be used to store you apps on the sd card. Much better than manually moving your apps to sd card. App2SD by kyrillos (its a script, available in different versions. You need to select the version that suits your sd card class and capacity). On using such a script all your apps are moved to the sd card on installation.
By using Titanium backup you can view the free space on the sd-ex partition(the extra partition that you have made). Its best to partition the sd card via the CWM recovery which will come pre-installed on Kyrillos 8.0 or even on G3Mod Kernels.
I have provided a link below that has links to all the firmwares and kernels for our phone. So if you install Kyrillos's ROM and do not happen to like it, then you can select the stock JP2 firmware from the Index forum and flash back using ODIN.

PS.
To flash a ROM you need ODIN and the .ops(Odin partitioning Script) files. Both of them will be available when you download Kyrillos ROM.
-> Open ODIN
-> Select the .ops file
-> Select flash as one package and select the .tar file
-> Connect the phone(You must have the USB drivers for you phone installed. You can install KIES for that)
-> Once connected, ODIN will show the port number and write something as Detected or something like that.
-> flash the firmware now. Pray to GOD.
Back up your IMEI before flashing. Always flash ROMs without bootloaders as they can permanently damage(Hard Brick) you phone.
All the best.

1. No partition isn't necessary. If you are happy with the internal storage that you have on your phone, then you can live without a partition!
2.All the custom ROM's (in this case Kyrillos) are without bootloaders, so they are safe to flash.
3. If you want to revert back to stock ROM, then you can find them (without bootloaders) over here:-

I came to know abt this hybrid data2sd and successfully booted CM7 and Froyo roms using multiboot.
I have written all steps on THIS post!
Hope it helps!!
Hybrid data2sd basically moves apps to your sd card partition. First you have to partition your sd card using minitool partition wizard (google it) or cwm recovery which comes on custom roms. This changes the format of that certain partition of your sd card to ext2/ext3/ext4. I think that makes it faster than fat32 which is the standard format of an sd card. When you have partitioned your sd card and have the hybrid data2sd script on your phone your apps with automatically go onto your sd card because your phone thinks the partition is internal storage so you don't need to move them in the settings (i made that mistake and my phone went crazy slow!). It's basically just a way of getting more storage whilst still keeping your phone working smoothly. Also you can easily go back to your stock rom by going to this thread and downloading whichever one you want although i don't think this will be the case since kyrillos roms are awesome.
how do i check used/remaining space in hybrid data2sd partition...??
pls need help...
I think you may need to type something into terminal emulator. Hillbeast is the best person to ask as he made the script in the first place.

Hello xda !
I really don't understand a word about partitioning, but without the App2sd integrated in ICS and CM9, i really got a lack of space for my data.
So I tried to partition my 16GB sandisk cl4 sdcard with rom manager (i don't even know if the rom does support it...) in a 512MB partition size and 64MB swap size.
But now, my sdcard isn't recognized by my phone, and unable to be mounted. In CWM recovery, I can press "mount sdcard" which means it is not mounted yet, and i get an ERROR. :crying:
So i've got two questions:
- Is there a way to repear my sdcard (maybe by re-partitioning it in FAT32) and make it recognizable by my computer ?
- Is it possible to expand internal storage in our defy with CM9 to do Apps2sd ?
So if someone could help me, it would be...GREAT ! :good:
Baxt, an xda-lover.
PS: the data in the card had been saved on my computer so no problem about recovering it :victory:

Only use fat32 for primary....for secondary...use ext2 it will b fast.....but note then that partition will not b recognized in windows.....
Oh Nd...primary is d part where u will have ur songs n all...leave it to abt 13 gb.....d Rest format to ext2 and den use link2sd on ur phone....
N I wouldn't recommend swap on a cl4 card....it will significantly reduce ur card life....

Ok so I've Made two partition with mini tool partition wizard:
1 - FAT32 of 13.5 GB as "primary"
2 - EXT2 of 1.4 GB as "primary" too
Il choose "apply", each time it's a success but the EXT2 partition disapears and the FAT32 one takes the whole card (14.91GB) instead of the 13.5 I asked for.
Then, on the phone the sdcard is recognized as "damaged" so the phone ask me to format it, then I press ok, but I still have 14.91GB assigned to the UMS (Mass Storage) and no any 2nde partition (according to the Link2SD app).
What am I doing wrong ?
But really big thanks to you, my sdcard is working, that's the important !
(sorry for my bad english)
Choose logical!!!

For the EXT2 ? Already done, same result...
Sorry I don't have a PC to see d steps...but as far as I can remember...if u r using minitool ...den u need to click apply in the top left corner for every action.....
So...just format ur card again....den do delete all partitions...den partition ur card again....primary as fat32 and secondary(don't remember seeing logical...maybe so in newer version) as ext2.....remember to click apply after every step....oh btw one more thing....windows will not detect ur second ext2(which is a Linux fs) partition ever .....therefore mini tool will show dat part as unspecified or something.....just put it on ur mobile and run link2sd .....n select ur SD ext partition type(ext2) in d menu dat pops up......

Thanks, i know what I was doing wrong, I have used a usb cable through my phone instead of an sdcard adapter.
But now i don't know what I did, but my sdcard isn't recognized anywhere, even in mini tool... That's kinda anoying...
Just use an adapter to connect it to pc and reformat the SD card. Delete all the partitions and keep it to one only (primary).
I can't ! It doesn't apear in my computer (by adapter or USB) I can't see or do anything on it, from phone or computer...
Questions go in the Q&A section
Sorry I didn't really see it as a question.
But anyone could help me recovering my micro-SD ?
Best partioning tool is gparted. There are a lot of boot able CD images containing it. Or use a live CD (or on USB) of Ubuntu.
Try an adapter (maybe loan one from someone). See any link2sd guide for how.

You're sure my card will be recognized in Linux ?

Also had this once.
Luckily one of my camera's was able to detect it and worked again when formatting it on my camera.
Here are also some tips:

Just google 'sd card isn't recognized' and are some tips on a makeuseof website.
ok, you need to use minitool partition wizard to partition your sdcard perfectly and when you convert the partition files system, please dont forget to convert it to primary partition, also minitool can do that!
