seriously...
froyo apps2sd is a lot more powerfull - you can still pull out your sd card anytime
and if you really still want to use your sd - why not make it apps2ext like in good ol' cyanogenmod days?
Every android phone until froyo just symlinked an ext partition to data/apps

ok thanks !

Add SD Card

Hi
I have flashed my hd2 with WP7 (Thanks Cotulla !) without SD Card in the phone. Now all is ok but sometime WP7 say me that there is not enought memory. I add a SD card but there is no change. What must i do ?
Thanks for help

You must flash WP7 with your SD card inside the phone. If you don't WP7 won't be able to see or use your SD card. You must re-flash.

Can the SD Card be changed on WP7

Can you change the SD Card in WP7 from a 4GB card to an 8GB or 16GB card without reformating the Phone.
Thanks

You can change it, but you'll lose everything you've installed and have an out the box phone so to speak.
Well at least that's what happened when I changed from my test SD card to my 8GB

I use SanDisk

no!!!will not read the new sd,you have to format the new one with the rom you are installing.
N.B: sandisk 8G is highly stable with wp7...

you can switch sd cards without starting over, but then you'd have to copy the partition from your old sd card to your new sd card.
it gets slightly complicated, but only because of the numbers of steps, not technical complications.
use Easeus partition software and try to replicate the exact partitions across the old card and the new card
good luck

Did this work for you? I made a thread about this possibility but nobody knew if it's really working.

Hey there,
my question is the other way. Is it possible to flash an other rom without having my SD in to safe settings and installed apps?
I tested this way:
1. turn off phone
2. pull out the SD
3. boot
My HD2 booted into WP7 and ran a blank WP7 such as it was fresh installed.
Then I turned it off and put the SD back in and booted. It booted into my ol status.
So no I want to if I can flash an other rom, put my already formatted SD with my WP7 settings back in? Is that maybe the best way to safe settings?

i think this link will explain you how to copy the partitions....and more

Thanks jianototi,
copying the wp7 partition between different sd cards works very well. The system accepts the copy and wp7 launches with all adjustments, downloads and installed apps.
My question now is: Can I reinstall a fresh wp7 nand and insert my sd from old installation? Will the sd be accepted? Or start wp7 with a virgin system?

so if we can move a wp7 from one sd card to another. Should it then not be possible to download from the internet, and just copy to sd-card?
Reason i ask is because i cannot get my wp7 to connnect to pc, so i cant get live services. However there seems to be a version now, where i just need to activate the phone.
If someone uploaded their data, can i download it, and update my wp7 that way?

yes put the new sdcard and restar to factory values

i was under the impression that it uses some sort of RAID over the card.
the best way to tell is to copy the card factory rest with one SD card, then swap the cards afterwards. Myguess is that it wont work the way you want it too, i doubt it will "give" you everything back on again.

Do you still have WP7 flashed on the NAND? Absolute worst case scenario, start at the beginning. Reflash Windows Mobile 6.5, then Magldr, then Android ROM for NAND.
Am I reading this right that you're booting Android from your SD card?

win7 already i flash witn android nand. No its not booting from SD. it booting from Nand.

I guess my next question is why would you want to put photos and music on the NAND? The HD2 only has 1GB. Wouldn't those files be better suited for the SD card?

[Q] SD card can't mount

hi every one,
i use HD2 T-mobile, and my rom : nand WP 7.5, SD Android.
this android rom from SD no problem, it's smooth. but i cant mount SD card ( SD card is good, class 2 ),
the preview time, i use normal. what's problem? my phone or my card?
Please help me,
thanks alot!
pleasee

maybe contacts oxidized or a bit dirty. take out your sd-card and look at its contacts - clean contacts should shine.

Thanks for answer, but i dont think so, because i still window phone 7.5 in my phone. Because rom android on sd? I dont known, no body take a question like me. I use rom android of boxmax v3.
Please help me!

You can't mount SD Card because Android is running off the SD card. It reads the data.img on the SD card as internal storage and doesn't detect any SD card (I think) so it won't work. Also, in future please use a proper thread title, 'Question' tells us nothing about your problem

Hmm i remember there being some sort of trick to allow one to still mount the SD card , this was on my Sprint Touch Pro 2 running Froyo , but i dont see why it wont work here . Maybe if you partition the SD card ? I cant remember exactly what it was i'll browse around over on PPCGeeks to see if i can find it

I've find, but i still can't fix it. Hmmm, it is a big pb with me.
Pls help me.

I faced the same problem.
I'm using WP7.5 on NAND.
And Android 2.2 Sense on SD CARD.
Doesn't read anything from the sd card. Doesn't read my APKS etc..( I had massive data corruptions)
So i ended up removing Wp7.5 and reinstalling Android back.

SD partition of Android should be set to Primary which means you should have two Primary partition for WP7 & Andy.
you should see those in mini partition tool
