It is law than 14 mb and this causes me a lot of troubles. I've tried menu/settings/applications/manage applicantions BUT the problem is that my "move to SD card" is grayed and it could not be pressed. What shell I do?

If Interested, I found there are guides on how to do this, i am not allowed to post links yet but search google for "partition clockworkmod" (without the quotes) and for me the guide i found was the first result (admittedly, google results vary by user).

@LinChina
i think recovery(CWM) only makes EXT3 but i'm not really sure about that, your best bet is use a pc that can have those warez on it
or this, if you can place & unzip the file in your NB
3a Use the provided 4EXT recovery (NAND or SD version) to create the partitions and format them.

NativeSD Dual Installer v2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31110719&postcount=2

Now I know ..but the first post is for people who don't have magldr or android on nand....SD recovery is not needed when you have cwm recovery inbuilt in magldr
Easy steps
1. Use minitool partition manager on PC to make sdext4 partition (cwm makes only ext3 ..so is not useful)
2. Copy your favorite native SD rom zip folder to SD card
3. In magldr ..go to ad recovery..install zip from SD...then follow instructions ..default path install is SD ext
4. Reboot
Enjoy

Hi everyone, it only looks that I'm a new user, it's because i've never posted anything before. I have Hd2 for almost 2 years from now and like 1,5 year being passive user on XDA. Anyway I do have problems that i can't manage myself. OP asked a dumb question, only if he has Android Nand or Windows Mobile, however... nobody ever tried making it work with WP7? I've been working on it few hours and don't have a clue how to do it. I've deleted my FAT32 partition and split it into Fat32+Ext4. If EXT is logical, WPH boots and show "Storage Card not working", but if it's primary it doesn't even boot. Is there anyway to solve this thing? Any help much appreciated, thanks.

I like to try nativeSD Android roms, but with MAGLdr it runs into a deadlock as MAGLdr does not support WinMo 6.5.
Is there a way to use NativeSD? even better with multiboot?

Hi at all,
today I installed ACA NativeSD on partition EXT4 into my sd card. I copy and paste the 2, zImage, intrid file which I fund in NativeSD/ACA folder, into root of my sd card. I rebooted and when I choose Boot AS SD in MAGLDR the ROM do not boot.
What I do wrong?

you must copy the 2 files from "<SDCARD>/NativeSD/ACA" to "<SDCARD>/NativeSD" (and not to "<SDCARD>/" )

yes, you must replace the 2 files...
why you can't see the folder: check on a PC, if the folder has hidden attribute... or try to create a new folder, copy all files from the old to the new, delete old and rename new folder...

Why I do not see the folder? I ask my self the same question and I don't know why, anyway my card is recognized and the folder is there, if will be hidden I will not see the folders, I also put different card into my hd2 with different folders and still the same. I think the 4EXT recovery make something wrong with partitions or I do.

note : keep both recovery folder and your Rom zip in fat32 partition and start the process
1. Boot into recovery by executing the usual clcad and haret stuff inside the Recovery folder.(download recovery_4EXT2.2.7_leo_sd.zip)
2. Flash the ROM.zip package and follow instructions
3. Reboot and boot the ROM by executing the usual clcad and haret stuff inside the NativeSD folder.

Thanks.
Fork fine now.

Thanks for your speedy reply.
I have some further questions though:
1. which 'recovery' do you mean and where will I find Titanium backup and tytung tool?
2. I have downloaded the paragon software to copy the sd card contents which I will try to do now. However, what are the 'normal' methods used to resize as I mentioned in my previous post that the ext4 partition seems fixed when using the mini tool partition software?
TIA,
Geoff.

Robbie,
I have put the sd card into the slot on my computer (which is a year old HP laptop) and also tried in a USB port but the Paragon software is not recognising the card at all, with only the c drive being shown. However, I am able to see the contents of the fat32 partition of the SD card through explorer as normal. Am I doing something wrong??

Which recovery did you use to install the rom? does it have facility to backup ext partitions? I know macs18max edited SDrecovery can do this from the first post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/hd2-android/nand-dev/nov-17-2015-kernel-3-0-101-t3251438 others can too.
titanium backup can be found in play store, free and paid versions. haven't used it myself for a while and only used free one. people on this forum swear by it though.
tytung's NativeSD backup might have to be searched for, I'm afraid.
Don't know why your ext partition is not showing up. What rom(s) are you using?
magldr or clk?
Sounds like you will have to use a backup method from the phone as opposed to pc, to store the contents on your FAT partition, then move/copy them to pc.
does this make sense?

Thanks again Robbie. Tis whole thing gets wierder as follows:
I'm using Nexus HD2 Jellybean-CM10_V1.3a as the rom. In the recovery directory of the SD card there's the Jellybean rom as mentioned, clrcad (dated 8/7/2010, haret, initrd.zip, startup text document & zImage (dated 5/9/2012).
There's also a NativeSD directory with the same files as the recovery directory.
Running Haret from the recovery directory takes me to 4EXT Recovery v2.2.7 RC5.
It also shows: E: can't find misc
E: failed to find "cache" partition to mount at "/cache".
In the info section it lists the sd-ext partition ext4 1012MiB free 135.5mb, sdcard fat32 14175 MiB free 8.0gb.
Attempt to backup fails as can't find cache partition, boot, recovery logs on E:
I loaded the Paragon software on my newer laptop but no ext partition was found. I then loaded the Paragon software on an older laptop and hey presto the partition was there. I tried to back this up on the pc but had repeated problems with files not being read. Then suddenly the ext partition disappeared on the pc but phone booted into Android-phew!.
I tried on the 1st pc and suddenly it recognised the ext partition. I tried backing up the partition but again had read problems. The fat32 partition backed up without 1 error.
So where do I go now? I don't want to loose the data in the ext partition but don't seem to be able to backup. Any suggestions welcome.

perhaps paragon wasn't the best choice for backing up. Try the recovery linked-to above, put it on your sdcard and run haret from its folder (you might have to change the folder name so that it is not the same as your other recovery folder). then select backup, then scroll down to sdext, tick it and swipe, it should copy to your FAT, and it seems you have plenty of space there. I haven't tried this backup method, which is why I said use 2 methods to backup. the more the merrier.
There are free sms, phone and app backup applications such as superbackup in playstore.
There was also a way to copy the whole sdcard as an image, partitions included, I will have a look for it.

Robbie thanks again.
I downloaded the recovery folder from your link but there's only 2 files in it namely initrd.gz and zImage, there's no haret. I have copied the haret, clrcad & startup text files files from the old recovery directory but it just hangs on running haret.
Geoff.

Sorry Geoff, I am not giving you very good advice. That recovery has a 3.0 kernel in it, and won't boot from haret. Am working ATM, will reply later.

Hi again Robbie,
I have good news and bad!!
I managed to eventually get the Paragon software to recognise the ext4 partition on my new laptop. What's odd is that the ext4 partition is listed under the name of the c drive. I then unmount and remount the ext4 with a new drive letter and I can then read/write. So having managed to mount, I was able to copy off all the files from the FAT32 & ext4 partitions to my hard disk. That's the end of the good bit.
As its 3 years since I did the last Jellybean install, I'd forgotten what to do and kept seeing posts about magldr and custom radio roms. I tried to boot into magldr on the phone while doing the sd card backups but it wouldn't go into it. I had assumed I must have installed it when I did the original SD rom install and I then wrongly assumed I needed to reinstall the HSPL4 and custom radio roms to get it on again. The former was ok but the latter caused the phone to hang on reboot at the HTC logo. At this point I went to the bootloader screen but after having the 4 colour screen I then got the white screen with blue writing for updating the rom from an sd card (there must have been an unzipped rom on the card). I mistakenly hit the install rom button and this erased all the phone's data before I'd had chance to use SD Backup, a programme I hadn't bothered using since long before I converted to Android.
I then looked back in my old bookmarks and came across a facebook guide to the Native SD installation which didn't mention magldr at all and it was at this point that I realised I'd not previously loaded it on the phone, although I did eventually manage to get it on after downgrading the HSPL to 2.08 and successfully flashing the custom radio only to be permanently booting into magldr-so I again reflashed the stock rom to get rid of it! What a waste of time!!
Having backed up the sd card partitions, I erased the partitions and made a new ext4 of 3gb and copied back the files to both partitions. I tried to boot the haret in the native SD folder but the phone hung at the HTC logo and then rebooted itself back into windows. I tried installing the jelly bean rom as an update using ext4 recovery but no joy. I tried wiping the ext4 partition and reformatting with EXT4 recovery then installing the rom as a new install which then booted into Android ok after which I overwrote the ext4 files with the previously saved ones. Now I get a boot into the CyanogenMod screen but no further even after waiting 30 mins. I also tried using NAtiveSD onetouch recovery to try and make a backcup of the old system and then restore over the new install (but not the boot files) but again I just get the hung CyanogenMod screen.
So do you have any idea of how I might get a successful boot with my old data? Perhaps I'm missing something else in the overwrite/restore process but I can't see what.
Any further help would be grateful-perhaps you have forum contact who might be able to help as well.
TIA,
Geoff.:crying:

It sounds like you have extracted the zip and put it on your sd card, instead of installing the zip from recovery.
Have you created an ext4 partition on your sdcard?

finally u got my problem....yes, i have extracted zip file and put all the 5 folders on sd card...but not done ext4 .....plz help me.....explain the solution in detail.

plz, reply fast......

please, reply....still waiting

how to install zip from recovery? Plz help.

it is best to use minitool partition wizard http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html which you might have already. Be careful to identify which is your sdcard and which is your pc and/or hard drive, you do not want to delete your hard drive
Assuming you have FAT32 on the left and an "unformatted" partition on the right (which holds your WP7), you need to create a new ext4 partition from the fat32 partition in the middle, without touching the wp7 partition.
So delete the fat32 partition, then create a 2gb smaller fat32 (primary, default clusters) using the slider on the right
Then create the 2gb ext4 partition (primary, default clusters) in the middle.
Press the tick to actually start the process, or undo if you made a mistake.
You should then have 1st fat32, 2nd ext4, 3rd "unformatted" (it may say "other" for filesystem=wp7) all primary.
You then need to put an sd recovery on the fat32, such as https://goo.im/devs/Xylograph/Various/Recoveries/SD/
unzip it and put the folder with the files in it on your sd card.
put the rom.zip also on the sdcard do not unzip it.
put card in phone
magldr 10 services > 1. bootsettings > ad sd dir and select the recovery folder with the files in it
magldr 2 boot ad sd
install the rom nativeSD
after reboot, magldr 10 services > 1. bootsettings > ad sd dir and select NativeSD
magldr 2 boot ad sd
profit?
Please do not post your questions in the development section any more, people will tend to either ignore you or flame you.

thanks for reply....r u sure there r 3 partitions..? Bec from the video tutorial by dxdy there r only 2 partitions(unallocated and fat32)...and there is no recovery folder or files.....in that video he only copy extracted rom files to sd card.....is ext4 really important?

i have also done the way you said it except ext4 partion.... downloaded the recovery twrp 2.2.2.0 leo sd.zip extracted it and put that folder in sd card with rom.zip ...then selected ad sd dir but there is no native sd option....after selecting boot ad sd still getting same error. It says 'sd kernel open failed'....plz guide me

Yes, for mac4a rom that you want to install, it must have an ext4 partition to install NativeSD.
The roms that dxdy was talking about are sd builds, which are now superceded by NativeSD.
You could just chose an [SD] build from http://forum.xda-developers.com/hd2-android/sd-dev if you don't want to run the risk of re-partitioning and losing your wp7, laptop or hard drive.

thanks alot for reply....as u said i have created fat32 of 1.69gb but dont show ext4 option it shows ext2 and ext3 so i selected ext3 of 1.45gb....will it make any difference? Can i continue with ext3?
