Sorry for my English, i'm french, so i try to explain my problem.
I want to install ANDROID on 2 partition ext2, but it's not working.
What I do.
1/
I create 3 partition:
1 Fat (6Go)
And 2 partition ext2 (2x1Go)
2/
I copy all the file on the root of the fat32 partition
3/
I launch Haret, but nothing , and ANDROID is installed on FAT32 (I suppose..)
Please help me
simply because haret/other files is supposed to work on fat32 (rules) , and one question why would you want to do that are you a developer or something
well i would like to be able to have 2 partitions on the phone...one for android and other for winmo storage card
I think (and i read), that, it's better to have 2 others partitions for android ...
But, i not really know why ...

two partitions are only good for actual android phones
Right now the kernel mounts the .img. It could mount an ext2/3 partition or anything that the linux kernel supports but getting new builds on there, changing files, etc. won't be so easy because windows has no drivers for ext2 and most people don't use linux.
When we get to a point where android is comparable to WM on battery life and components working we might want to get a partition for android.
I understand the version of ANDROID for HD2 create a system.ext2. If you create a partition, we don't need this file, and ANDROID work better...
On the other device (on ANDROID), we can read some post about partition ext2 ...
now lets make it clear:
1-i will create ext2 partition
2- i will use any version of android for hd2 except the .ext2 file and copy these files to the ext2 partition
3-now i need to run the android on ext2, how i can do this ?
So a half an hour after posting in THIS thread, you decided to make 2 other threads with the same exact title, and in the wrong section.
POINTLESS!
As you have already been answered. IT WILL NOT WORK. Learn how to use forums or GTFO.

using haret and the wing linux kernel an openmoko image boot on opal!!
i find all on open-nandra web site
but using an ext2 partition don't boot
you must make an ext3 partition
thanks a lot to marek(open nandra) and the wing linux team
how to:
Your SD card should have 2 partitions:
- fat
- ext3
extract the attached haret.7z to FAT partition of SD card
extract rootfs to ext3 partition
run haret.exe and wait some time (you should see angstrom splash screen)
do the screen calibration (if the phone freeze soft reset it relaunch haret)
now you are in openmoko
thanks to open-nandra and winglinux team
Hi... great news. Do you know what works with this OS in opal? Wifi, sound, etc ...?
I can't find, how to split sd cart to partitions! Did U get that?
thanks friend
here's a totarial for making the memory sd to 2 partitions
get this app to make ur sd, 2partitions:
MiniTool Partition Wizard Professional Edition 5.2
password is: " pirate.scar "
then see this video to understand how to work with that:
Video download link
in this step i used a linux os on pc because windows doesn't support ext format
if you couldn't past anything on ext format then format that part again in linux with EXT3 format
follow gp.triple totarial.....
enjoy

did u test that? u mean that
kernel + haret : open-moko-kernel-wizard.tar.bz2
rootfs : openmoko-devel-image-glibc.rootfs.tar.bz2
work on opal?

the function are the same of winglinux (no audo - no wifi - no bt - etc...) becouse the kernel is the same
for making a partition you can use a live cd of linux like ubuntu
and yes i test it on my opal and its work
for booting it you must keep the default txt and change the mtipe
and use the zimage of winglinux package
tomorrow i'll upload a zip whit haret default and zimage

Mistery!
did all that from the description! however, did not get it to life!
I create partitions with that mini tool. Copy all of that files what i need! Windows 7 can see fat partition and i can do with it what i want, but in my WinMob device HTC Touch Viva((opal) using Jogan2 EVO-B rom) sd card is invisible!
Linux see all of partitions.
Why Win7 see that card but WINMOB don't?

you must unzip the file on the ext3 partition
try to download the file again
ok... i try to edit sd from Device not from reader!
But now when i run haret i have the same problem
Root-NFS: no NFS server available, giving up

VFS: cannot open root device "mmcb1KOP2' or unknown - blocked (2,0)
plz append a corect "root=" boot option ; here are the available partitions:

?
Will try to reformat the partition and recopy files!
no...something is wrong in default.txt
i tried many texts but could't rin
haret cannot find "mmcb1KOP2"
maybi we need to give a correct name of partition! Or special label!
any new? g.triple can u see again what's the problem?
i also have extracting problem with 7.zip
I have looked for similar posts but I haven't found exactly what I was looking for or I found old posts in the general sections of the forum, so I ask here:
What is the usefulness of an ext3 partition on the SD memory for applications?
Can anyone tell me an accurate guide to follow the procedure?
No one knows how to help me?
I think you will not need it.
ext3 earlier used for app2sd, but now almost all custom roms have native app2sd = means that you don' t have to make a own partition
correct me if im wrong
Blacksony
I'm starting to think that there is no use to format the SD to ext3..
U can make a partition in your SD for example of 1 gb EXT3 only for apps, you can make it with minitool partition wizard home edition (its free)
In ext3 the apps is fully saved in the sd (.apk, dalvik cache and data) and you can liberate more space in the disk than app2sd.
if u don't understand say me jaja my english is poor and i talk like a tarzan ! xD

Finally!
Thank you very much. I will provide downloading MiniTool Partition Wizard and format the sd by myself. If I find it difficult, I will ask your help here.
you are welcome, other form of format the SD in ext is with clock work recovery but you'll lose all your data
make a backup of your all data in sd before make a partition !
Hi,
how are you today? For me good, thanks for asking, ha ha ha hanb
It's alredy my second thread for today, all problems, wow.
So I will try to explain, like in the thread before, I got HTC HD2 and I have Mdeejay eVo on my sd card and I launch Android from WM6.5.
The Android which I use have already the data_1024 folder, inside data.IMG file which it use for storage the Androids apps, but from my research I find the news to some how edit my microsd card and set-up a Partition which be the sobstitute of the data_1024.
I will be glad to know HOW?
Like I said, I got my Android on sd and I try for a week to find the solution with no success, I try to make a ext3 partition on sd of 2048mb but the android do not see that partition. I can't flash anything because on my ROM is WM 6.5.
I also will be glad to make another data_2048 folder with inside data.IMG file, if the Partition can't be done.
Please guys let me know how do I have set-up the partition for the Android?
Thanks.
hmmm not really sure here, but you can make a back up of your SD card then use minitool partition to partition & create EXt3/ Ext 4 / Fat 32 partitions, try the links below they might help

before post here I already saw your thread and like I said I do not have MALGDR on my phone or CWM, also I don't know which type of partition need my Android but I am sure is not the last type of Androids which they have the folders; kernel, META-INF, sdcard (inside NativeSD) and system folder. My Android is whit rootfs.img with external data_1024 folder for storage system.
I used Gparted live and I made a partition of 2048mb of ext3 partition but the Android do not see the partition because somehow I can't make a link to it.
I want more storage for my Android and delete data_1024 folder so I try to figure out, with some help, how to do that?
Any ideas?
Use toporesize app on pc to expand your present data img size without losing present data. . To get more space. .No need for ext 3 and all
Search for topo resize
If youwant to use apps 2 sd or link 2sd app from market to use ext 3.. Then you can move apps to sd ... That is for nand installs. . You don't need that on sd builds. ...
You try native sd builds. . Fastest ever.sd builds. . You can boot from wm also . You need ext4 partition for it. ..

Thanks mate, this is something great!
So I do not need a special partition for my android, good to know.
I know the last Nand Androids are good but I have old phone with old Android and he work fine, I try to put Native SD Android on my sd but too complicated and I do not have so much time. At the moment I find Mdeejay very fast and good, I tryed AmeriCan Android, CM7 and 10 and really I am not comfortable with them like with Mdeejay, so it's ok like that. ! problem solver, I just try to update my kernel - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1976835 - and I am ok.
Thanks.

End of the Party, Guys, I was happy to soon!
I used toposize to made data.img for my android but I got problems.
If I resize data.img system partition, first of all, I got the error on e2fsck (see the pic) and i have to click ok to compleate the operation and after that I put the data.img into Anrdoid forlder and I replace the original (backups before) but the Android do not turn on, he stuck in HTC Logo.
If I made a clean data.img with ext3 system partition and I replace the data.img into the Android folder, he do not turn on and he stuck in Android logo.
If I use the original data.img from the package the Android turn on normally.
Do I forgot to do something? Do I missing something?
sorry, I forgot the pic.... here we go...

you are keeping data .img in a folder?...data.img should be in android folder..no further subfolders...and delete that stupid ext3 partition..you dont need it.
try native sd..it is very simple (for you to dual boot with windows mobile):
you need ext4 partition..use minitool partition manager to create it
then put selected rom zip (like pacman hd2 rom..."the best rom") on sd card
put 4ext recovery folder on sd card..open it , click clcrad and haret inside...follow screen instructions to install rom
Reboot and boot the ROM by executing the usual clcrad and haret stuff inside the NativeSD folder.
thats it.

ohh, well, yes, the data.img is in Android folder, not subfolders or external folders, I said so because in my package of Mdeejay are 2 folders, Android and data_1024. The data_1024 is all ready done to make a fast boot instantly but if I do not use it Android make the clean data into his root folder.
About the partition you get confused a little bit because when I used toporesize to made a clean data.img file to use it in android folder, the app ask me in which system the file have to be, ext2, ext3 or NONE. So no 1 of this data.img worked.
I hope I clarifide, I do not have ext3 partition on sd, is the data.img. that's all.

I don't know about that, currently I have a working Android (not jet set-up like I want too) but I will see if I sholud do all this stuff. I am not so deep in this stuuf and just reach when I reach now, get me tired. So I take in the consideration you advice but now I have to have 1 android working well.
Ok, some bad news:
I did in different way to set-up my storage image, I let Android to made a clean data.img into his folder, after he finished installation and start running well I take the data.img of 1GB and with toposize I resize the image to 3GB. Like I said before, he give me this crap error but I really do not understand why? If Android made a clean data.img in his folder which errors can be made?
So I click ok anyway and made this file and I replaced the 1GB with 3GB with unclarifide done error fix.
He works for feew hours, smooth and fast, I start installing appps and games. Like many games they ask for downloading some updated files so I start downloading 450mb for 1 game and after 20 minuts Android crashed and he do not turn on anymore, he stuck in Android logo.
Are you sure this crap "TOPOSIZE" working? or it's just ME?
Guys, please help, I get confused and I don't know how to do it.
Today I also try install on my android Chainfire and i can't install plugins for low storage so after few hours of serching I find this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16457164&postcount=14723 but after read what they saying I do not understand anymore which system file I have to resize to get more space AND to make working chainfire which I really need right now for few games!
Someone can tell me which files I have to resize? How? or Post the right thread? please.
Hi,
Short / long story:
I have long time unused HTC HD2.
With Android (NexusHD2-KitKat-CM11.0_V4.5.zip is the file which I found in backup, so I assume this is what I install - sorry, it was long time ago.
Some time ago I need microSD card so I took it from my HD2, I did backup only windows FAT32 partition.
Now, I need to run my HD2 , I have install microSD 2 GB (800 MB FAT32 + 1GB Ext4) but is not working correctly.
It starting I can install Teamviewer, but when I need to install HTC module for teamviewer it's telling me that is not enough storage.
Quite often is restarting and after restart not keeping any settings (wi-fi) app installed (teamviewer) it's resetting each time to factory settings.
In Settings - Storage shows 'Total space' - Available 0.00 bytes
I did what is instructed on this webpage but it didn't help http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...mory-in-android-nand-roms-cannot-install-apps
Can anybody advise me which is the easiest way to make my HD2 working properly? Means have enough memory to do anything.
The purpose of restoring my HD2 is working as a router, tethering machine. I need to share internet from mobile network for smart TV and Tablet over wi-fi. It will be unattended so I need remote control access (team viewer host).
I'm open for a suggestion of changing the ROM if there is something reasonable easy and described (as I'm not big ROM expert). i've seen a ROM list for HD2, is too long.
Thanks in advance for your help.
it sounds like you are missing a data partition, perhaps the sdcard you used before had an ext4 partition which your new one does not have. Use recovery, in nand, to create an ext4 partition, then boot into rom, might work.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I did Ext4 by MiniTool Partition under Windows primarily.
And later in recovery, I have setup 1024MB and swap = 0 M.
It didn't help.
Should I mount it or so?
Update:
I have a look in log in nand - recovery and it's says that my second partition is Ext3 not Ext4.
And there is no way to change it.
What is your nand recovery? version?
Clk or magldr?
The recovery might say ext3 when it means ext4, but it does not seem right.

It says on the top bar screen 'CWM-based on Recovery v5.0.2.6' but was install with ROM so should be fine.
try using the recovery to format the ext partition to ext2 or 3 then use it again to ext4

As I said, I have created and formatted partitions under windows FAT32 & Ext4 and then under recovery, there was no choice of the file system file, I can only choose the size. And it was formatted to Ext3 - log saying.
