Hi folks,
I hope somebody can help me out here.
I want to create the ext4.
I tried whole evening and read so much. Getting desprate
I tried:
- In Minitool: ext4. Does not work, every time I boot (I have K7-OC with G3mod kernel ) my phone is in a bootloop?
- via USB connection and minitool: I get &é"'é"'("("§" signs and both partitions are damaged.
- EASUS 9 is not capable of ext4 for now.
- Formatting in (G3mod) clockwork, it creates an ext3, wich is not enough
I tried the Fugumod kernel for formatting, but this one hanged every time.
It's quite crazy because I managed to create the ext4 by formating in G3mod CWM and format to ext4 in minitool. Suddenly I could see it in Titanium:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But stupid me, I forgot to remove the SD card when reflashing the K7 rom, and the partition was damaged. (is this a bug). But now at least I know this is why my phone was blocking everytime, because of a damaged ext partition.
So, can anybody give me advice or tell me how to get finaly a ext4???

Remove app2sd script from /system/etc/init.d folder.. Then use data2sd ..

Thx for your quick reply.
Some Q:
- How is that different?
- Where to download? (installin in the init.d ?)
- Make partitions? How? ext4?
- Will it solve the fact that the ext4 partition locks the phone at startup (not everytime it seems)
Do you know link2SD app? I think this could be a solution? Since the app2sd only copies the data, not Dalvisk?

1. what do u mean by BLOCKING UR PHONE everytime??
2."where to download??" downlod what??
3.1st partition ur sd via cwm .. u can try g3mod1.6 .. it wld b ext3 partition.. then convert it to ext4 via fs.convert
Code:
mmcblk0p2 ext4
4.yes.. it should.. )
i would say u should make a swap partition along mmcblk0p2 too..
edit: there a nice app for g3mod kernel .. u can use it to convert ur secondary sdcard partition too.. )

thx mate,
- I think I go for link2SD, it's to complicated for me to check that all out.
- To be clear: I have ext4 now in minitool, and it stays there. When taking the SD card out and into the cardreader. Only thing is, my phone keeps rebooting for ever with the SD in the phone.
- I read that a swap slows your phone? I only have a class 4 card.
- What app do you mean for g3mod kernel?

Thx mate !
Wonderful to get so much help here!
I just have it flashed
For now I use the combination of Link2SD and a2sd. (with fat32)
This works good for now. I have 50Mb free.
I will partition later if I get probs this way, because I installed all programs again (must be the 20th time I do this, last weeks, due to crashes and experimenting)
Let's keep the fingers crossed ;-)

So, at least with Kyrillos 6.x I had successfully made my partitions, used them.
Then I just flashed Kyrillos7.0 following the instructions included, now I have full working ext2 and ext3 partitions.
That should work for you guys too, if not maybe the problem is not the phone, nor the ROM, nor the kernel...

hello everyone,
i need your help to partition my sd card and to enable app2sd, last week i had formated my sd card cause i ve got somme probleme witjh it the sd carde were parttionned and working fine but after formating it i tried to partition it with mad team app2sd(using kyrillos 4.1 oc) application as i did befor, but after enting commande in termainal emulator and copying fs convert to fugmode reprtory in sd card i can t no longer see a2sd line in titanium back up i tried to reformat reflash with xjpf, xjpm then many other custom rom nothing happen i made a secreenshot of titanium backup screen but i cant upload it to the post
so i dont know what a did wrong this time
many thanks for your help
hi..
Format the sdcard and try partitioning using minitool..
thank for your reply
can you tell me if i put this on minitool
partition fat 32: 13gb
ext 2:1.5gb
ext 3:200mb will it work? and if i have to enter commande mkfs.vfat/dev/block..
in terminal emulator
now i m using kyrillos 5.5
The partition should be ext4 and you won't require 1.5gb for apps.. Make an ext4 partition of 512mb or 1gb and the second partition fat32 .. swap partition isn't necessary
also make sure that both partitions are primary ..
And you won't have to enter any command in terminal emulator..
Ok very thankful for your reply i will try tomorow

hello again
i tried your solution but still not working i explain: i formated my sd card using gparted live cd and external card reader then i made 2 partition: fat 32(13.95) and ext4 (1gb) both as primary then i shutedown my phon put sd card on it and the phone didnt boot(bootloop during 10 min) so i removed the battery removed sd card i copied the content of the reportery sdcard present in the kyrillos 5.5 zip and still not bootin , so i removed again the battery and sd card then the phone starts without the sd card and when i put the sd card and when i go the titanium backup its shows me a prtition with 14.9
any suggestion please
Does it show a field named app2sd in titanium? If yes, what is the size of it ?
Also let the phone boot with the sdcard in.. It sometimes takes a very long time on the first boot..
no its not shoing its, do you think that if i try to reflash with kyrillos rom may be it ll work

Reflashing could help but do that only if you're sure that you've partitioned the sdcard correctly
i tried to boot the phone with sd card in but its freez on boot after about 15 min
this is my partitions:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

and this is what i m getting with titanium back up
The partitions are correct.. try reflashing with sdcard In ...

Which version of app2sd are you using?? And do you have CWM recovery?? If yes, then boot into recovery with SD card in. Then wipe data. And reboot. If it doesn t boot, again goto recovery and wipe data. Keep doing it few times till it boots. The first boot will take longer time.
I use kyrillos rom 5.5 but as i said i cant use cwm because my volume up and down are out so i cant navigate throught the menu

Hmm. Then boot up first. Then insert SD card. And then do factory reset by going into settings=>privacy. Do this a few times till it boots. Doing factory reset also wipes data. So this should also work(theoretically).
Will try this just one thing should i flash the ketnel too

1. do you have partition on sd card?
2.did you copy Android folder to root of sdcard and owerwrited
it?
3.did you set in titanium backup to restore backups to internal?
and try KMapp to check out if hd2sd is ticked in app....
and under hds2d settings in KMapp check if you have ticked following:
app, log, dalvik cache..under dalvik cache there are few options what to move....and remeber: it is important that you copy this folder(Android) to root of ur sdcard...
http://db.tt/b5ahm2zW
unzip it to sdcard and owerwrite it....
screenies of KMapp:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

You need to put a space between the command "cat" and the file "/data2sd.log" so that it reads "cat /data2sd.log"

what r u saying is first u enable hybrid app2sd after that u make partition..?
it very simple just follow this STEP BY STEP... which Kyrillos said..
Optional, Enable Hybrid Data2sd [More space for apps!]
- Make a backup of your sdcard, enter CWM recovery and go to Miscellaneous => Partition SD Card. Choose the sizes you want (Recommended:512-1Gb ext, and 0mb swap]. After the partition completes, wipe data and reboot. You can now copy back all your sdcard files which you did a backup.
- Then copy the contents of the sdcard folder in your sdcard and reboot. No wipe data required, the first reboot may take time.
- Install titanium and go to titanium backup's preferences, and select Restore Backups to => Internal Storage. Then do your restore...

How to unpartition?
Hi, I used kyrillos rom before I installed cm7 a7 and in kyrillos I enabled HD2S and partitioned my sdcard with 512mb, after some time I installed a fresh copy of cm7 from odin, and my sdcard still has a maximum of 6.9GB instead of 7,4gb so i was wondering if there is a way to restore my sdcard to it's previous state?
A Little Help Plz
I installed kyrillos 9.0....
Updated to v9.5....Successfully!
Copied the four files necessary for HYBRID DATA2SD to my sd card
Went into cwm nd partitioned my sd card ..... successfully!
Installed Titanium Backup which shows the partition (a2sd)
went into terminal evaluator which shows hybrid data2sd script running
But still whenever i install apps, my internal memory gets low ???
I installed Kmapp also and have HYBRID DATA2SD enabled with "app, dalvik cache & log" checked
What did i do wrong?
Remedies please..
Thanks In advance
When it comes to partitioning SD Cards I am total noob.
Okay I partitioned my SD Card and made a 7 GB FAT32 partition of for my stuff and a EXT 4 of around 560 MB.....
After that I directly installed Kyorarom v0.5 and now I wanna know the few things:
1. What is App2SD?
2. What is App2SD+?
3. What is Data2SD?
4. What is Hybrid Data2SD?
And when I connect my phone to the PC and enable USB storage I find my SD Card empty while from my phone's file manager I see a few folders in it.....
Hybrid data2sd enable you to manually (and easy) select which files/folders you want to move to sd. Data wipe isnt nessesary take a look at herefor app2sd

I now regret it...
Should have done by CWM...
But now that I have made the mistake how do I fix it?
When I connect to PC I can see the files which I transferred on SD Card from my PC. And in my phone I cannot see those files but I can see the files which were made by my phone such as folders like "Android", "Data" etc...
I want to turn my SD Card back to normal.
The way it was and then I will partition via CWM.
How do I turn it back to normal the way it was?
Just one whole partition with no Unallocated space?

After that what do I do so that my EXT partition starts working and all apps get moved?

from 2nd screenie i see you have app2sd enabled...but if you want hybridata2sd you have to untick app2sd and tick hybriddata2sd...
btw: did u copy those files to sd...and check init.d folder...if there is app2sd script delete it....unless you will use app2sd....then you have 3 options v1, v2, v3...best is v2 coz v3 causes lags...coz with v3 all ur data goes to sd-ext...it should be like this when on hd2sd:

So will I lose all my data on that partition if I convert EXT3 to EXT4?

DataonExt is basically using a partition of your sd-card( called the ext partition) to store stuff. This ext partition acts as your phone's internal memory, so when we run into low internal memory situation, after installing apps etc, dataonext usually saves the day.
You need 2 things to use this feature
A. An ext partition on your sd card
B. A script that mounts that ext partition as internal memory
A )
This can be done my using the minitool partition wizard or the CWM recovery.
In CWM menu, go to advanced>partition sd card. Select the partition size you want, keep swap to 0. Most GB roms dont need swap. And thats it, the ext partition is created
WARNING!!
Along with creating an ext partition, YOUR SD CARD WILL BE WIPED. MAKE BACKUPS
B) You need an A2SD script, Most A2SD roms already have this script so when u install the rom, after partitioning, the ext partition is automatically mounted. If you want another script, check my signature

This was the first thing that came up on google.
So you mean to tell me you have searched google AND xda and you couldn't find an answer? Seems legit.
You're lucky for having people like adil answering your question first.

Thanks for reply. is it ext3 or ext4 for hd2? and i will mount it "/data" or "/" or no mount? and what about cluster size? And i will use jb rom so i need swap? Thanks.

It did not say "NativeSD", it said "Native". He is using "Native" here as an English word, not a method of booting android.
In fact, if you had clicked on that and gone further you'd have realized what I mean.
Tip: Next time when you search something, you need to go INTO the things you find, not just read their titles.
And btw, it should be ext4 and don't worry about the cluster size, default is fine.

To basically just use the ext partition as internal memory, any ext type can be used. The CWM makes a ext3. You need the ext4 partition for NativeSD roms. Thats a WHOLE different thing. And when u use a default rom with A2SD support, you dont need to mount anything, anything that needs to be mounted, IS mounted.
For swap, check the rom thread, it should be there.
Sup!
The problem is, that after i install ROMs via NAND+ext i cannot simply use it, because after rebooting it shows htc logo and then screen goes black.
I used only NAND roms before, because my sd card always failed to create an EXT partition on it.
But idk why, few days ago i noticed that while wiping, it didn't skip EXT partition like always, so i created one via TWRP recovery and tried to install some roms on ext.
I've done several full-wipes etc, but always it succeeds with installation, and then it goes black screen on rebooting.
What can be the problem? I thought it might be boot.img-related, but same thing occurs in 2nd rom i try to install.
I don't want to go back to old NAND rom, so if you guys could help me out, i would be really happy.
I spent several hours looking for a solution, but no positive results..
Also, i had a problem in trying to reanimate my phone via Fastboot/ADB; simply because i don't know how to proceed from bootloader to fastboot to get my phone connected with pc commands...
I tried to flash this and that ROMs.
Regards!
you could try;
changing recovery (eg 4ext), i always seem to have trouble with twrp flashing sboot, 4ext works ok
increase sboot or boot size
format ext4 with 4ext recovery
not used fastboot much, there is a tutorial here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277112
hope this helps
if not post your setup, partition sizes etc.
Thanks for reply Robbie!
Firstly, i cannot find 4EXT recovery to flash it straight from PC :/ Any other recommended recovery's?
Secondly, not sure if i understand sboot and boot resizing correctly.
Also, when i flash TWRP for example, in config file when i change system ya[/B ] to 280mb is it enough? I mean, when i change size via HD2Toolkit, it automatically applies CWM...
http://goo.im/devs/Xylograph/Various/Recoveries/NAND
flash it using existing recovery
in later versions of clk you can easily resize your partitions, sometimes increasing boot partition may solve booting problems.
eg black lk from here http://www.mediafire.com/download/n0aa6qv88t3n1sv/black_lk_20130506-Ex-TWRP_2_5_0_5.zip
extract it, browse to leoimg.nbh using hd2 toolkit "install custom NBH/NB RUU" and install.
Then flash 4ext using the included recovery.
Profit?

Never thought of going to CLK though
Okay, i have clk now.
So i need to put 4ext zip into SD card throught TWRP usb plugging, and then install it straight from twrp?
Update!
I flashed 4EXT, althought i had strange code message after flashing it:
Code:
Writing recovery partition...
All done.
Updating partition details...
E:Failed to mount '/system' (MTD)
Partition details updated
Anyway, it seems to load w/o problems
Whats my point... i noticed, that i have ext2 partition on my phone, not ext4.
Can it cause black screen problem?
What to do now?
(So many questions..)
~EDIT~
i used built-in partitioning to get EXT4 partition, then installed tytung's rom again, ofc succeed etc.
But after reboot i see htc logo for 1 sec, then black screen ... sigh

so, what are your partition sizes, nand and sdcard?
remember, if using nand with data on ext, you can afford a huge 350mb system partition or more since your data (apps and stuff) is on your ext4 sdcard partition.
Please provide details

Here it goes!
recovery 8
boot 5
misc 1
system 235
userdata 157
sboot 10
cache 5
+ i have 2gb ext4
SlimRom requires about 210 system partition, so i set 235.

so far it went past htc logo, but it keeps showin me SLIMbean animation
humm..
~EDIT~
i went to setup wizard, but it kept crashing. I forgot to flash gapps as in thread...sigh.
wiped system partition, flashed gapps, and now booting.
Hopefully it will get to work now!
edit2:
htc logo for about 5 minutes already
EDIT3:
i fully wiped phone, reflashed rom and gapps, it booted (waited like 15min though), but i have some strange problems with going through setup wizard again.
Mainly it stops working after few minutes, and it launches again and again. Sometimes i make till wifi/gmail sync, but for example it keeps obtaining wifi for like minute, in meanwhile Calendar Memore stops working... then it freezes, stops working, and from beginning...Once i made it through Google GPS localization.
The ****...?
Okay, after wipe and reflash, i faced same situation, but not sure why, Setup Wizard after 10 minutes of struggling allowed me to finish setup :highfive:
I still received "Calendar Storage has stopped working" every 10 seconds, so i cleared cashe of it in settings, seems to be solved.
Now, the only issues i face are:
- my phone shows me no internal storage at all...
In settings > apps, Internal storage bar is all grey without any numbers, also i cannot even update Nova Launcher because of insufficient space.
It would be quite sad to have my phone finally working, but with no storage to install basic apps like facebook, etc
-as i want to reboot my phone, it popped Setup Wizard again... WHAT THE!
Please help me with these problems...! :laugh:
EDIT:
i googled ''a bit'', and tried to copy busybox from /system/xbin to /system/bin, but i see no positive results..
Problem has changed.
Another update, but now quite positive.
After reflashing Slimrom and tytung's one over n over, i tried to flash tytung's 4.2.2, well, it succeeded.
Now i have 1,2gb of internal free memory, and it all seem to work flawlessly.
No idea why previous 2 roms didnt work 100%'ly :/
I think i won't do anything now, i am happy to have 4.2.2 features now, after 1 years of being stuck with 4.1.2
Anyways, big thanks for you Robbie. You are my life-saver once again!!!
Have a good night y'all, yawn
###EDIT###
Rom runs smoothly, i have 1,2Gb of internal memory, but my Google Play tells me "No connection. Retry" everytime i open it
Which means i canno't update/download anything.
Tried clearing cache,data,force stop,reboots, still no profits >.< im not into factory reset again though..
_____ EDIT _____
After wake up, around 1 hour of previous usage, i had black screen... rebooted -> Setup Wizard (although no errors or fCloses, only again no internal memory )

it sounds like your ext4 partition (/data) is not being recognised.
Since you have to reflash, try deleting all partitions and format whole card with official formatter, then set up your ext4 partition again, use recovery to format it.
Try install again.
What is your sd card make, and class?

about sd card? umm, i think it's SanDisk, but what class... i don't remember.
UPDATE.
I hope that system will survive the night without problems..
Everything runs quite good, i have problems with syncing contacts, but i think i will bypass it.
I connected to Google Play, i have 1,2 Gb of internal memory, so this is positive.
One problem is that when i try to install apps from GPlay, blue bar keeps running infinitely... like something blocks apps from installing.
Gonna try uninstalling GPlay updates, maybe it will help..
Will update again tomorrow!
UPDATE.
Nope.
Again, after about an hour, system started cutting me off more and more processes, so i rebooted, and then i had infinite Cyanogenmod boot animation...
I think im gonna try freaking 4.1.2 with DoE or Nand...
This sd card makes me wanna break this phone into puzzles
PACman 1.2 doesnt work with Ext , but on NAND i have only 197mb of free internal storage after fresh install I wish i could increase this
