Guys,
Sorry for this noob question, I have flashed Tytung's NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA V2.7 Rom to my HD2 and need to back it up but I have all my apps linked to an ext2 partition on my SD card using Link2sd, I plan to use ClockworkMod Recovery for the backup, the question is will I need to unlink all the apps before making the backup or will the SD card need to be backed up as well. I have done a search on the forum but can't seem to find any reference to my question.

No need to do anything, just perform a CWM backup and everything will work as normal. The linked apps are fine.

Hi guys,
I’m using VillianRom 12 with app2sd and just wondering how can I replace with new one along with all installed programs. Is it just copy function or I have to run recovery mode?
Thanks

I don't understand.
"how can I replace with new one along with all installed programs" - do you mean how can you put a new ROM on without losing the programs? Simple answer is that you can't. You have to wipe the sd card's ext partition for a new rom. Having said that you can backup all of your apps using titanium backup and restore them after the wipe.
See my sig for a guide on backing up between wipes.
If your question was about having a new SD you can do a nandroid backup + ext and install it after wiping everything and with your new SD in your phone...
Howdy.
I'm kinda new to the whole scene, but I managed to root my tattoo and than flashed the modaca R3 with additions.
But somehow I'm not sure if app2sd is working at all. Do I have to prepare something like Idontknowwhat creating a folder named "APP" or so?
I hope someone can actually help me..
Greetings

You need an Ext2/3/4 Partition. This can be done in recovery but wipes your sd card, so back up first
Also, MoDaCo ROM only includes Apps2SD if you select it in the online kitchen. If you don't have access to this, my ROM (see signature) is also based on stock and has Apps2SD
Hope this helps
Okay. That problem seems solved.
But I still have one question left:
When are the apps saved to SD? Are only new ones affected or does this also work for updates?
Thanks

If you have the correct partition, all Apps are moved to the SD the first time you boot with Apps2SD enabled, then all new apps are installed there
I also have a few questions about partitioning to get apps2sdd. If you partition the sdd does the gold-card get wiped as well, or it just wipes the user data? And is Windows still able to mount the sdd when it's an ext2/3/4 partition? Finally is it safe to partition when using a custom ROM? (using HCDR 1.5 atm)

Yes, the goldcard will get wiped. Everything does, unfortunately.
Windows is still able to mount the Fat partition of the SD card when using an Ext partition.
And partitioning in recovery is independent of the ROM being used so it will be fine no matter which ROM you use (glad to know you're on mine though )
I have a wildfire rooted by unrEVOked tool and i would install my app in SD card.
is it possible? howto?
thanks

You can simply format your SD card with Rom Manager (and create an ext3 partition / swap partition), then you'll have to install apps2sd by yourself (google "howto install app2sd android 2.1".
Else, you can use the WildPuzzle rom, which includes app2sd "nativly", you just need to backup what needs to be backed up, follow the small guide on the wildpuzzle's topic and restore your backup (contacts, sms, mms, apps, settings => my backup can do it really easily)
thanks

but i don't find this howto
use custom rom Puzzle, it has the app2sd ability by default
read through the thread you'd be just fine

Thx bro, i'll try ..
Hi guys,
Ive been reading about Clockwork recovery (watched the videos etc.) but still have a question.
I am using this rom on my HD2: NexusHD2-Froyo V1.9b NAND
I have configured my phone with all my personal settings, app, etc. and I want to install clockwork recovery so that I can install Apps2SD (using the .zip installation file). My 8GB SDcard is already partitioned with 1GB ext4 partition following the 7GB fat32 partition.
The question is can I install clockwork recovery without having to flash a new rom afterwards thus loosing all my current configuration? Or installing clockwork (copy files to SD root, then flash etc) does not affect current installed NAND rom?
Sorry if I was supposed to get this info through the various threads - I just could not find a clear answer.
Regards,
F

What problem did you get?
Did you changed the partition size?
system = 320M

how do i do that? does it erase the sd card?
The same way you flashed CWM in the first place, just with a 320MB partiton instead of the one you flashed for NexusHD2 ICS. It won't affect your SD card but everything on your NAND will be deleted. Backup your apps, contacts etc. with Titanium backup or any other app you want really. It's probably safe to create a NANDroid backup as well so that if you don't like JB you can quickly and easily return to ICS.
