Rom on SD Card - XPERIA X8 General

Hey Guys,
i remember a option to have a Rom on the SD Card. So look,
i think its cooler for the extrem rom flasher dudes.
Because you can use the sd for trying new roms etc.
I think there was a script for some roms but, i dont remember who
was the creator ...
Can anybody tell me how it was done or who the guy was?

Multi-boot?

Lol.. that's more than I had when I flashed the Desire ROM, I had to do Apps2Sd and everything. Desire is worth it though I guess..

lol dude dont flash the add on..youre not supposed too the add on is only for the cyanogen roms because he chooses not to put the google stuff in his rom for legal reasons..the desire rom has everything you need in there
and the memory doesnt matter..android manages everything just fine

windows phone 7 on sd

Is there any chance to have wp7 on the sd and keeping 6.5 on the nand ?
no
there have to be an sd wp7 and this isn't possible yet
This question has been asked a gazillion times...
Once it would be available, you can be sure you´ll find it here at xda within the shortest time possible...
emh sorry ! didn't know that was a frequently asked questions......
By the way I do know that cotulla was working on 6.5 on sd but not on 7 on sd....is that someone who is workinf on 7 on sd ?
This is also in wrong forum, This is the dev forum, for "devs" posting "dev" work, not for posting "questions", thats what the "Q&A" forum is for
Nope not possible, and wrong fourm buddy, next time post in the Q&A
yes sorry for wrong forum ( I have selected wrong and I didn't notice..) ... maybe a moderator can moove the discussion.
Why isn't possible ? It's for some technical problem ?

I don't know if it's impossible, but it's very unlikely to happen. The way that wp7 uses SD cards would probably make it hard... also, if it was possible, I'm sure cotulla would say he's trying to do it, but he and no one else is trying as far as I know.
The reason why it's not that possible for now is cause windows 7 use's the SD
Card as memory therefore the reason why you can't just remove you sd while you have windows 7 on your phone because it might mess up alot of stuff.
Happily moved to Q&A.

mhm I see..very sad by the way...I was thinking that maybe it could use as "memory card" a second partition but I suppose that can't be done...
By the way there are any news about the chance of 6.5 on the memory card ? I knew that cotulla was working on it but I have never understand if eventually we would be able to put on memory card the same 6.5 rom that we use today on nand or if new specif rom would be needed..

It would be a special wm6.5 rom for SD. There's no guarantee that cotulla will be successful with this, or how long until he releases if he is.

[Q] convert cwr/nand to sd build ?

Any body know a noobish way to convert cwr zip's to a SD (boot from haret/WM) ?
Thank's in advance !
There is no noobish way to do that...
You know an other way you can share maybe?
I am 100% sure it cannot be done easily, never heard of a method to convert it anyway. I am not a chef,but I guess you have to cook it separately, just ask the chef of a ROM you'd liked to have in a NAND form, and maybe (but probably not) he will cook a nand version.
Its just that i wanna change the clockwork file's to a SD build.
If i extract the cwr zip file ,i have no system.ext file ,its a system folder.
Haret is missing to ..

Excellent, but I need a one-click Windows solution. That is way beyond me.
Use VirtualBox my friend.

thats why a few posts up it was saiud no easy method of doing it
unfortunately if it was as simple as 1 click then everyone would be making their own roms
The fact that it was said that there is no easy method is sufficient to get our developers going -- they will create such a solution, since it would be considered a challenge.
This is XDA after all.

[Q] Transforming a nand rom to an sd rom

As wrote in the title.. because of the new miui are not more producted in via sd I would like to produce it but I don't know how is possible.. are there people that can say me how is it possible to do it?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!
Technically it should be possible by converting the system files from a nand build to a system.ext2 file and using an sd initrd.gz, and I had several devs trying to teach me to do it but I was never able to get it to boot. I never tried converting a miui rom though so who knows.
i havent actually done it but i am able to port most of the roms except apps and framework. the second i do that it wont boot
I have the same question because I want to use MIUI 1.4.1 too. Or is there somebody that wanna do it?

How do you convert the system files from a nand build to a system.ext2?

genext2fs -d <source-folder> -b <size of ext2> system.ext2
^Bscly. Of course it requires a Linux box.
in order to get the build to boot you'll have to correctly mod the files in linux

Go to the roms page in miui-dev's page (sorry can't post links, not allowed yet, google miui-dev) and scroll all the way down. It's the last device listed.

Great, thanks a lot. downloading right now. will try tomorrow.
I wish there could be a manual/tutorial how to do it. I hate begging people to get it done for SD. I doubt your chef would be doing every new version of MUIU to SD. That's why it would be great to learn so that me and others like myself could do it on our own.
Thanks for getting this build converted.

Ok. I manage to get this ported to SD card and Android boot loaded into RAM... but most are in Chinese... is it still useful?

All MIUI roms needs language pack after installation. In the earlier SD builds, the language pack was placed in the root folder and the device reboot would update the language pack.
BTW someone already ported the 1.4.8 build for SD/MAGLDR in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12839635&postcount=206
Just an idea... shall we form a team, create a thread "Porter Series SD Roms" or something like that and try porting all the NAND roms to SD build?
But are there any rules in XDA that prohibits us from doing this? Did not want to end up being banned here.

I downloaded this one but it doesn't look like it's for SD build. There is no haret file to start it. It's in a NAND format.

Anyways dxdy seen u over @ the mobilism forums too
Let's hope for the best and pray that the devs turn another impossible to it's possible
For me like the idea WM6.5 in nand and WMP7 to sd card. Hoppely it works sometimes.
