If you boot into recovery (I assume you are using Clockworkmod since you have no details in your post) then you can partition it directly from there. Boot into recovery then goto advanced then goto partition SD card pick your sizes. If this does not work try to format it first. FAT file system. Also be sure to back up all of your contents before any of this. Dont just drag and drop if you want an exact copy be sure to use Xcopy with the correct parameters for your application

have you tried to use any tools off the market such as minitool or paragon?
Hey guys how do you move ALL apps and data to your sd card so when I flash roms (theres a new update everyday it gets too hard) I dont lose my progress in apps and I dont have to reinstall they are already there, is it possible to do this?
Also can you set sd card as default so new apps you install automatically go there.
It would be nice if I could partition just like 1 gb of my SD card just for apps!
Ive searched a few threads and stuff trying to gather information but none of them really helped alot so sorry if this has been answered!
What ROM are you running?

RCmix3D at the moment, thinking about flashing Honey sense hd for a while!
I just want to make a partition of about 700mb onto the SD and move ALL my apps to it so I dont lose my progress and I dont have to worry about them when I flash roms!
thanks in advance!
Hello,
I'm unsure of any batch command to send all existing apps to SD so you may have to go to Settings> Applications> Manage Apps and move each one individually.
To change default app install location, use the following command either through ADB or in a terminal emulator:
pm setInstallLocation 2 //for SD card
pm setInstallLocation 0 //for phone internal memory
You'll find after setting the install location to SD, you'll notice that more apps can be moved to the SD card manually instead of just being greyed-out. However, be careful though - personally, I wouldn't move the following to SD since they've affected performance:
- apps which use a widget on your home screen (music players, aggregators)
- apps which explicitly interact with the system (e.g. task managers, autokiller, autostarts)
- Google apps
Hope this helps.
Backup all user apps in batch mode using titanium backup pro. Saves to sdcard backup folder.
Or
Partition sdcard to ext3 or 4, 0 swap, and use a a2sd+ patch (if your ROM supports it). Backup data on the fat32 partition first, as it may get wiped when the partition is split to make the ext partition. All user apps and associated dalvik will be moved to the ext partition on boot. Just make sure the ext partition is not wiped / formatted prior to flashing ROM. Use pc software such as gparted or mini partition tool free. Been a few phones bricked using the wrong cwm version to partition.
But, if were me, just use Titanium Backup Pro.

Gparted wouldnt find my phone when plugged in when I tried.
Also when you just move to SD through settings>application, it doesnt move the whole app only half and when you install a new rom they arnt there
Gparted is Linux, mini partition tool for Windows.
A2sd+ moves apps to ext partition, not fat32 partition your referring to. A2sd or apps to SD move only to fat32 partition.
There's the difference between a2sd+ & a2sd.

So to move the apps COMPLETELY on to the SD so they are there when you install a new rom and stuff, I partition my sd card in Ext 3/4 and then use a2sd+ to move them over right?
I'm on LeeDrOiD, and don't bother with the patch anymore.
But the method I used was, setup ext partition, flash ROM followed immediately by the a2sd+ patch for 1gb ext, then reboot. First boot will take a while.
Is useful if you stick to the same ROM, ...... as long as you don't wipe the ext partition before each update / build flash, or the ROM doesn't have a inbuilt script that wipes the ext. If that happened, you'd lose the apps and their dalvik cache, although the dalvik should be wiped anyway.
Edit: important, Forgot to mention, move all apps to "internal" memory prior. A2sd+ will take care of it on boot / flash and move all to ext. Any other app DL, just move to internal, and it'll be moved auto next boot.

Open titanium backup, the first page that opens "overview", look down the bottom, will say something like;
Rom
Internal
Sdcard
A2sd+
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
ok it says sd card (A2sd) 575mb 60.4 free, so I think that means the apps are on there, so if I wipe my phone the apps will stay right?
It will always say move to SD if installed in any other place. But the SD it refers to is the fat32 partition, not your ext. A2sd+ will take care of it and move all new apps to ext on boot, as long as you install to internal memory first.
After some market updates of apps installed to ext , you may have to move to internal and reboot to ensure they're on the ext

Maybe a slightly bigger partition would have been better.
The apps should stay, as long as the ext is not wiped / formatted.
If apps not recognised in market, clear market cache, boot cwm, clear dalvik, boot, use titanium backup pro to restore market link if needed.

I did the biggest one possible in Rom manager
Alright thanks for all your help mate!
Maybe your version, I have not done it since 1gb using cwm 2.5.1.3. But some newer versions had bricked phones. ROM manager is just an interface for cwm, so that's why its best to do it through pc. Should recognise the card through a sdcard adaptor

Ahh stupid me haha, il try it out, thanks
dudes i am planning to switch to #199 cm7.
the plans are...
1) fresh flash #199 with 2.6.32 buzz kernal.
2) dta2sd beta 3,jewz ram script, sd speed increase script(4068) .
3) custom mtd partition with 170mb system and 30 mb cache.
4) data and app to sd ext4.
5) 8gb class 4 sd partitioned to 1gb ext4, 32mb swap, rest with fat32 with a large allocation value.
6) lot of paid app of course.
i need your suggestions ....
thanks in advance.

Do the mtd partition as you install 199, I got problems when a2sd was already installed, my mtd settings are 140 10, 10mb works fine for cache just make sure you have 06mountdl in your init.d folder otherwise you wont be able to download anything from the market above 10mb in size, if it isn't in the init.d folder you should find it in the cm zip.

dude i haven't heared of init.d folder. pls explain. well i surely plan to give 25 mb cache. if so do i need to care about init.d folder?
" just make sure you have 06mountdl in your init.d folder" dude i realy dont understand this.
" if it isn't in the init.d folder you should find it in the cm zip." and this too i dnt understand.
so i am a newbee to custom mtd partition. hence i need help about this. how should i need to use the script? i plan to flash it soon after i reboot to #199. only after that i will install my apps.and also gapps. so do i need to take nandroid backup? as i have backups of my app using titanium backup. so i will install every thing later.

Put the files needed on your sd card and write your settings in the txt file.
Run the first part of the mtd partition (wipe system/data/cache and install the first zip, bravo recovery or something like that, reboot your recovery from the advanced setting.
After doing the first step install your fresh copy of cm7 (instead of the nandroid backup) without wiping anything, then run the bravo boot zip and let it boot before installing anything else.
Files from the market, when first downloaded go to your /cache folder which if set to only 10mb would mean you can only download files below 10mb in size, the 06mountdl script deals with this by diverting the downloads elsewhere /data partition I think (not sure), the scripts are found in /system/etc/init.d after installing cyanogen if your cache size is small just check that folder (with root explorer) as a few times I have had to extract 06mountdl from the cm7 zip because it hasn't installed.
All that happens if 06mountdl isn't there is, when you go to the market you'll get an annoying message saying you don't have space left if the filesize of the app is larger than your cache.
Hope that made sense its 7am here.

Not entirely sure, I know some people say before but its never harmed me doing it after, you may aswell just run it straightaway though after your first reboot. Just in case.
I only use beta 3 as I had problems with beta 4, I don't think there's any noticeable changes between them tbh.

So i ended up in cm7#203. Stable. Fast, like it a lot.
The sad thing is i can't make custom mtd. Every time i ended in a non booting cm7 boot screen. Actually i had to flash froyo 2.2.1 ruu 2 times. Rooted, installed cwm. 2 times. Coz i had done like u said. Flashed custom mtd recovery with mtdpartmap.txt file containing 160 25. Then installed new rom with a reboot of recovery only.also flashed bravo boot. All as you said. Stuck in splash screen. So again tried to flash new rom and kernel from recovery. Still the same after flashing. So again ruu flash. Install custom cwm v5.xxx.partitioned SD. This time the SD got corrupted. So removed custom cwm and put original cwm using fastboot flash. Then partitioned with out errors. And installed cm7#203 from cwm, SD speed increase script,Jews ram script,2.6.35 kernal, latest radio, mediaprofile patch, gapps for 2.3.5 Andy. Rebooted after dalvic wipe. Itz running perfect. Installed s2e app . Moved app,private app, data, to ext.
I think that s2e is more efficient than dta2sd. It is faster, move almost every thing to ext. And internal memory consumption is quite low after app installations(when compared to dta2sd). Also booting and shut down are faster.
I will be watching for future errors. Thank you.

EDIT: Ok, I've located where my problem is. Basically what happens is when I install the Custom ROM it replaces my 2ndInit bootmenu and CWM and it 'upgrades' them. But because it has 'upgraded' them I can no longer mount sd card. I have to reinstall 2ndInit to 'downgrade' CWM and then I can flash again.
Hi there,
A few weeks back I flashed Paranoid Android onto my phone (latest release), however now I have discovered that in recovery mode, my phone can't read or mount the sdcard, i.e. I can't apply updates.
Code:
If I select 'Install zip from sdcard > Choose zip from sdcard' I get:
E:Can't mount /sdcard/
And if I try 'Mounts and storage > mount /sdcard' I get:
Error mounting /sdcard!
I would really appreciate any help on this issue.
Note it was working previously (which is how I installed the ParanoidAndroid ROM) but now my phone can't read the sdcard in recovery. IT CAN READ IT ONCE THE PHONE HAS BOOTED UP.

will do and will post the results, but before I do, would that show anything because the sdcard works fine once the phone has booted up?
Not sure myself, it just eliminates any filesystem corruption as the cause. Also try using another build like quarx to check for this problem

EDIT: Ran fsck on fedora partition (forgot about the command). It came up with this
Code:
fsck from util-linux 2.21.2
e2fsck 1.42.3 (14-May-2012)
fsck.ext2: Is a directory while trying to open /media/CDF2-6BE2
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
I've backed up my SDCard and am going to run e2fsck command (will post results) otherwise I'm going to have to reformat it
EDIT 2: Came up with same error. Should I reformat it? As ext3/ext4? What should I do?
My memory card was standard fat32
And I'm no Linux expert but I think you're trying to check for a wrong filesystem, what is your current sdcard format(filesystem)
And I think you should reformat as fat32

Probably there isn't any fix, but you could make zip containing the working recovery, and flash it after every rom flash

If you could show me how to do that, I would so extremely grateful
Aparently there was a similar problem with the Defy running the 'official' CM and the wiki documented a fix here: http://oldwiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Motorola_Defy:_FAQ#SD_Card
Do you think that could possibly work for the Defy+?
EDIT: However if I make a .zip file, would that put my phone in bootloop though? Because whenever I reinstall 2ndInit (v2.3) and it 'downgrades' my CWM/Bootmenu it causes a bootloop where I have to reflash everything. If I make a .zip that I flash after each install would it cause the same problem because it's 'downgrading' from the Bootmenu/CWM of the JB CM10 ROM.
I would've made you one, but unfortunately my computer is not working. I think it should be enough if the boot menu folder is replaced by your working set by a flash after every install

I really appreciate your help! I guess you could perhaps guide me in doing it, or I could wait till you've got a wroking computer.
So, computer just started working, and I made you a zip
Download the zip to your computer and extract the contents[META-INF and system) folders. Add your working bootmenu files inside the system/bootmenu folder you just extracted and delete the pre-existing text file there. Then add both META-INF and system to a zip(not rar!) and try flashing it. Make sure that the file consists of META-INF and system folders within itself. It should work
IF THERE'S A SIGNATURE VERIFICATION ERROR JUST TOGGLE SIGNATURE VERIFICATION WHICH IS PRESENT JUST BEFORE SELECTING THE ZIP FILE TO FLASH VIA RECOVERY

EDIT1: First attempt, didn't work
Trying something again...
EDIT2: Second attempt.... Put phone into bootloop :\
EDIT3: Third attempt... Seems like a bootloop again
So basically it changes the Recovery version (not the bootmenu) and puts it into bootloop :\ however I can flash via recovery.
Try copying only recovery folder from inside boot menu
I'll try to make a zip which first deletes the folder to avoid incompatibilities.
BTW can you enter the boot menu when there's boot loop?
And also try fixing permissions

Yeah I can enter bootmenu during bootloop before it starts. I'll retry with the recovery folder only.
EDIT: Wow it worked! Thank you so much I hope you don't mind too much, but if you can modify the recovery slightly that it'd help out a lot and make everything perfect. But I can't thank you enough
I'll upload my working Patch.zip:
If you can do these, that would be amazing: (this is from the working CWM)
1) When I select 'Wipe data/factory reset' it says 'Formatting /data...' and then immediately says 'Formatting /cache...' and when the phone boots up, all my data is there. Now that isn't a problem as such but if I needed to do a clean install that may cause some issues.
2) This isn't a problem, but I was wondering if you could add a printed line whenever I execute the 'Wipe dalvik cache' because it wipes it very fast, but doesn't say anything in the console so I'm not sure if I clicked it or not. Nevertheless when I boot my phone up it says optimising apps which means that it worked.
But yeah only minor things.
Thank you so much
1)I can't modify the recovery, since I'm not really a dev but I can try to make you another zip to wipe data separately
2)Again, that is something coded in the recovery, which I don't know how to alter. Plus, my computer isn't working again(bad ram :banghead: ) so I'm limited to the phone
But are you able at all to wipe data from the custom recovery? Bootmenu? Are both not working?

hello all.
i have HTC desire with stock ROM v 2.2 and i have rooted my phone and flashed the CM10 | Jelly Bean 4.1.2 - v3.1 which supports a2sd script and allow to install many app in the SD-ext partition but there were some problems in the battery drain . video play back flickering and video recorder so i restored my original stock ROM it is very fast and no the jellybean's issues but the only problem is limited internal memory so i need your help to have a2sd script or any script to overcome this problem
thanks.
Use any non sense gingerbread ROM if u want speed + battery life.
I would recommend using milwilds redux or oxygen ROM. They have a2sd built in and activated, so all u need to is flash the rom if you have already made the partition.

You need to flash a stock ROM that comes pre rooted. From there you can install an a2sd script.
I would really recommend a custom gingerbread ROM though. It looks like you just had a bad experience with the new jb ROMs, but trust me the GB roms are good. they are fast, stable, and optimized from a2sd.

1. Partition your sd card using this guide if you havent already done so.
2. Download Mildwild v4.9 based on Oxygen from here. Then copy the zip to your sdcard
3. Reboot into recovery. If you are using cwm recovery do the following: wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache. If using 4ext recovery go to the wipe menu and select "format all partitions (except sd card)"
4. Then go to install and choose the zip of the rom you previously copied to the sd card. Once it has successfully flashed, reboot
5. Leave it for about 5 minutes to load everything up (the first boot may take up to 10 min so be patient)
6. If you made the partition correctly in step 1, whenever you install an app it will automatically be moved to the sd card ext partition.
@OP, if u r going to use MildWild Oxygen (very good rom) then i would highly recommend changing hboots (if ur s-off) to get the most space for data partition, otherwise ul be wasting over 100mb in system partition.

3. Reboot into recovery. If you are using cwm recovery do the following: wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache. If using 4ext recovery go to the wipe menu and select "format all partitions (except sd card)"
4. Then go to install and choose the zip of the rom you previously copied to the sd card. Once it has successfully flashed, reboot
5. Leave it for about 5 minutes to load everything up (the first boot may take up to 10 min so be patient)
6. If you made the partition correctly in step 1, whenever you install an app it will automatically be moved to the sd card ext partition.

Thanks Chromium.
but in your opinion what's the best size of created Ext for this Rom and what about swap .am using CWM v4.0.1.4 and have partitioned Sd card on it with 2048m as Ext 3 ?
after flashing this ROM will i use terminal emulator to activate a2sd script or it will activate automatically ??
Sorry for inconvenience chromium

@OP, if u r going to use MildWild Oxygen (very good rom) then i would highly recommend changing hboots (if ur s-off) to get the most space for data partition, otherwise ul be wasting over 100mb in system partition.

First of all dont use cwm to make the partition. Read this guide to learn how to correctly make the partition. You can easily install 4ext recovery which is better than cwm and it will make good partitions. I would recommend a 1gb ext4, and no swap. After flashing the rom, a2sd will be already activated so theres no need to use terminal emulator to do anything.
Jmcclue is suggesting that you use a different hboot (internal memory partition layout). Using stock hboot with mildwilds oxygen rom, you will be wasting more than 100mb on the system partition. If you want to optimize the internal partition layout so that you have the most space on on the data partition, it would be wise to use the cm7r2 hboot, or even one of the custom hboots that jmcclue has made (check his signature).

OK hboot is the layout of partition sizes on the internal memory. There are 3 partitions: system, cache and data.
Stock hboot gives 250mb to system which is way too much because mildwilds oxygen rom only needs 110mb.
Since you are wasting 140mb on system, you get less space on data(to store app data on)
With cm7r2 hboot u get 145mb system partition, and more space on data.
Changing hboot is pretty easy, but i guess u could say its more risky than flashing a rom. Its not mandatory to do it but it would make sense to do so. Its your choice.
If you leave it with stock hboot everything will work fine, but your data partition will fill up faster. If you aren't planning on installing more than 50 apps then stock should be fine. If you want the ability to install lots of apps (more than 50) then install cm7r2.
How many apps do u think you will install?

I will change my hboot but i don't know which one can i install to work with the Rom and the method of installation.
i have read the jcullum's thread of custom hboots and downloaded the custom hboots but there are many files and can't differentiate between them which is the more suitable to my device and which is the proper method for installing it
which i can understand it.is too move any hboot.img from any folder to SD card and flash it from recovery ?
if this right ? i wanna recommendation to the proper one for this ROM and more safe definitely

the another ones are some widgets and small sized apps plus to officesuite and youtube
No u don't flash any hboot files through recovery. This is how to flash the hboot:
1. Go to http://alpharev.nl/ and download the PB99IMG for the cm7r2 hboot.
2. Once it has downloaded, rename it to PB99IMG and put it on the root of your sd card (not in any folders)
3. Boot into hboot(volume down + power). Wait a bit while it searches for the file
4. When it finds the file it will ask if you want to install. Press volume up to install. The reboot.

Try downloading this arabic support zip onto your sdcard. Then boot into recovery and flash it.
