Hi everyone,
Now i have a problem with my htc hd2 nand rom. I had tried alot of nand roms and when i tried to make ext3( i tried with CWM, Gpartet, Easus, Minitool) but when i boot my rom i saw only 100mb of free memory. After puting my sd card in my PC i run easus and there is ext3 partition but the phone cant read it. Please help me if you can.

Are you sure that you created it as a second partition and as a primairy (instead of a logical)?

Which roms are you trying it with? Have you tried other cards?
Format the card using Panasonic SDFormatter..
Format: FULL (Overwrite)
Size Adjustment: ON
Now partition again using CWM, 1GB space and 0MB swap.
Yes i had tried 2 cards 16Gb and 2GB now i will try again.
PS: I'm using Typhoon now.

That looks like it should be correct.
Give rafdroid 4.02 a try, that is the one I use and which shows the the correct size for sure.

Hi,
I think you are confusing the different sections of space on the phone.
Get yourself Titanium Backup,and it will list the different storage spaces you have:
System ROM
Internal
SD card
SD card(a2sd) or EXT.3 partition in your case.
The 100MB you see is internal free space.
You can then how much space you have on your EXT. and what is being used.

Hi,
It looks absolutely fine.
260MB of free internal memory
And 999MB free on your EXT. partition.
You should update the app.It will also show system as well.

make sure you clean out the old rom before booting the new rom, , in CWM choose 'wipe data/factory reset', then 'wipe cache', then 'advanced - wipe dalvik cache'
I' m right now thank you for helping me.

HTC HD2 EXT3 partition not showing up
Hi,
I just installed miui 6.9.29. Everything is working fine but one thing: the ext3 partition i created in CWM (512 mb, 0 mb swap) does not show up as internal storage. I tried to mount it in CWM, but still no luck . Can someone please help me? I really need more than 115 mb of internal storage, since there is only 23.54 mb available. Pretty stupid actually because i only want about 3-4 apps more..
Please help!

Hi guys,
I've installed a CM7 ROM then installed S2E, then flashed an AOSP build to replace it. When I try to use S2E to move the apps back to NAND from sd-ext, it shows up in NAND in the first couple of boots, but later on goes back to sd-ext without S2E doing the job. I kinda figured that it's built into the ROM to move the apps to sd-ext.
What would be the safest way to move the apps from sd-ext back to /data/app, and then repartition my SD card into a single partition and use its whole storage capacity?
Thanks in advance!

try link2sd in the market,it's free,but once you've moved all u want to,boot into recovery and wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik,that MIGHT do the trick
one question, how do you want to partition your sd? i mean one fat or one ext partition? But seriously, one partition is a bad idea, i wouldnt recommend that.
@Ty5982, Thanks for the input! Will try that later.
@greg17477, I'm using Windows so I want to format it to a single Fat32 partition. What's your recommendation?
Partition ur sd card in recovery with 1gb and swap size 64mb,THEN,open link2sd and when u 1st open it,it checks your phone and sd card then prompts u were u want to send apps to,ext 2,3,4 or FAT 32,select FAT 32 as its what u want,then a error msg will appear,reboot,then open link2sd and now you've got your fat 32 lol

Won't that have moved his apps to a fat32 partition?
If I'm reading this correctly what the OP wants is to move his apps to NAND so he can format his sd card to its full capacity in FAT32, presumably so he can use it as a normal SD card (eg for a camera, moving files etc)
I personally use a very popular app called DarkTremors Apps2SD GUI, it comes preinstalled on a lot of custom ROMS. This app checks where your apps are when you launch it, and gives you the option to either move them to SD-EXT or back again. Launch APPS2SDGUI, let it check your system, then click 'Apps are on SD!' to move them back to NAND.
P.S. I don't think you can wipe the SD-EXT partition off the SD card using Windows' built-in formatter. There are lots of freeware apps that can and will do this though, google is your friend =]

@Ty5982, unfortunately it didn't work. It went badly and I lost the apps in sd-ext so I ended up restoring them..
@jwchips, thanks! Will try that one instead. Yep, I've read about the tools/apps that can be used to partition/format storage devices with EXT. Thanks again.

well i would recommend tu have 2 partitions, ext and fat. Just to be safe or prapared in case your want to try a different rom. Nowadayes almost every rom uses ext partition. And you won't run out of space, if you install some more apps.

I see. Thanks! Currently I have a 512MB EXT partition on my SD card. I thought I'd be able to choose which apps to move there but it seems my ROM automatically symlinks the apps installed to the EXT partition.
So I decided I want to just install the apps to NAND since I don't really install a lot of apps and I'm using a TMOUS HD2, just for an extra boost in performance compared to when apps are installed to SD-EXT. Then I'll just selectively move apps to SD.

Hi, I hope you guys are still around, I´ve been looking for an answer and can´t find anything, heres the question I posted on another thread:
I´ve been having trouble with my phone freezing even after full wipes, so I´ve come to the conclusion my sdcard is corrupt.
So I want to go through the Gparted process to format and re-partition my sdcard.
Currently I have 16GB class 6, which has the recommended FAT32 and 1GB ext4.
Is it safe (or even possible) to format the sd card now. I tried with Gparted and only the FAT32 partition showed up???
The rom is runnymede aio which requires the ext4
Thanks

Hello xda !
I really don't understand a word about partitioning, but without the App2sd integrated in ICS and CM9, i really got a lack of space for my data.
So I tried to partition my 16GB sandisk cl4 sdcard with rom manager (i don't even know if the rom does support it...) in a 512MB partition size and 64MB swap size.
But now, my sdcard isn't recognized by my phone, and unable to be mounted. In CWM recovery, I can press "mount sdcard" which means it is not mounted yet, and i get an ERROR. :crying:
So i've got two questions:
- Is there a way to repear my sdcard (maybe by re-partitioning it in FAT32) and make it recognizable by my computer ?
- Is it possible to expand internal storage in our defy with CM9 to do Apps2sd ?
So if someone could help me, it would be...GREAT ! :good:
Baxt, an xda-lover.
PS: the data in the card had been saved on my computer so no problem about recovering it :victory:

Thanks i'm on windows so i'll try with mini tool partition wizard =)
EDIT: I chose FAT32 for the whole card, but should i choose logicial or primary ? What does that mean ?
Only use fat32 for primary....for secondary...use ext2 it will b fast.....but note then that partition will not b recognized in windows.....
Oh Nd...primary is d part where u will have ur songs n all...leave it to abt 13 gb.....d Rest format to ext2 and den use link2sd on ur phone....
N I wouldn't recommend swap on a cl4 card....it will significantly reduce ur card life....
Sent from my MB525 using xda app-developers app
Ok so I've Made two partition with mini tool partition wizard:
1 - FAT32 of 13.5 GB as "primary"
2 - EXT2 of 1.4 GB as "primary" too
Il choose "apply", each time it's a success but the EXT2 partition disapears and the FAT32 one takes the whole card (14.91GB) instead of the 13.5 I asked for.
Then, on the phone the sdcard is recognized as "damaged" so the phone ask me to format it, then I press ok, but I still have 14.91GB assigned to the UMS (Mass Storage) and no any 2nde partition (according to the Link2SD app).
What am I doing wrong ?
But really big thanks to you, my sdcard is working, that's the important !

For the EXT2 ? Already done, same result...
Sorry I don't have a PC to see d steps...but as far as I can remember...if u r using minitool ...den u need to click apply in the top left corner for every action.....
So...just format ur card again....den do delete all partitions...den partition ur card again....primary as fat32 and secondary(don't remember seeing logical...maybe so in newer version) as ext2.....remember to click apply after every step....oh btw one more thing....windows will not detect ur second ext2(which is a Linux fs) partition ever .....therefore mini tool will show dat part as unspecified or something.....just put it on ur mobile and run link2sd .....n select ur SD ext partition type(ext2) in d menu dat pops up......

Thanks, i know what I was doing wrong, I have used a usb cable through my phone instead of an sdcard adapter.
But now i don't know what I did, but my sdcard isn't recognized anywhere, even in mini tool... That's kinda anoying...
Just use an adapter to connect it to pc and reformat the SD card. Delete all the partitions and keep it to one only (primary).
I can't ! It doesn't apear in my computer (by adapter or USB) I can't see or do anything on it, from phone or computer...
Questions go in the Q&A section
Sorry I didn't really see it as a question.
But anyone could help me recovering my micro-SD ?
Best partioning tool is gparted. There are a lot of boot able CD images containing it. Or use a live CD (or on USB) of Ubuntu.
Try an adapter (maybe loan one from someone). See any link2sd guide for how.

ok, you need to use minitool partition wizard to partition your sdcard perfectly and when you convert the partition files system, please dont forget to convert it to primary partition, also minitool can do that!
why does my hd2 have 151mb of internal storage and only 91mb for installing apps. i have NexusHD2 ROM.:crying:
You have a 512MB HD2 (European). And most of that is taken by the system partitions and whatnot. You need data2ext or sth like that so that you can have more storage.
create ext4 partition on your sd card using mini partition tool, it will increase your internal memory.
Hit thanks if it helped :laugh:
it's normal that you have only this storage memory, Nexushd2 ROM are consuming a lot of memory.
You can move your apply on your sd-card if you have one or you can do that Rahil S say.

So when the ext partition is created, will some of the internal memory still be used up by apps that are on SD.

When you create an ext partition, it becomes the internal memory for apps. No need to move anything to SD.

No. Even after creating the ext4 partition, data and apps won't move on their own. You need to reflash the rom with the option "DataOnExt".
You can use TB to backup your apps, and restore after you re-install.
Is there another way, cause I don't want to mess around with the flashing stuff as I have bricked my phone in the past. I mean is there an alternative to flash like partition the SD card and use app like link2sd to move app data to sd

Are you looking for 10 posts also? Because we've already agreed that DataOnExt is the best option. He DOES want to give it a try, so your post is pointless = You are looking for 10 posts. What's the sudden interest in the HD2 section for spamming?
Also, NO. Your apology for interrupting this conversation IS NOT acceptable.
Anyway, @OP:
I think the best option is to back up all your apps using Titanium Backup, reinstall the ROM with DOE option, and then reinstall TB and your apps.
No, using Link2SD will not help you. It doesn't work like that. Sorry.
go to market and dowload link2SD to link or move app to SD ext or

Hi experts here,
Sorry to bother you but I could not find clear explications on how to do it right:
I have formatted my 16GB SD card to have 13GB Fat 32, 1,5 GB Ext2 and 0,5 GB linux swap.
Then I have copied the current AmeriCan Android to to the Fat32 partition and fired HaRet.
Android boots fine, but has got no SD card mounted and the menu to mout it is greyed out.
a) how to mount the Fat32 Partition of the SD card?
b) did Android install on the ext2 partition? If not, what is the procedure to get it there?
Thank you.
RIN67630
As far as I know, sd-build android's data/storage is in a file called data.img located on your sdcard. I am not sure if it's supposed to show that you actually have an sdcard.
a) I am not sure, so I can't say anything.
b) Find a rom you want (because you can't convert your current ROM to an ext one, you can make a backup though) from the nand section. If by (boot from ext) you mean NativeSD, you don't need MAGLDR/cLK. Just look for the "NativeSD for Windows Mobile Users" guide, and follow it. But if by that you mean (have your storage on the ext) then you must install cLK/MAGLDR, install a recovery, repartition your system accordingly and then flash the rom from the recovery install earlier.
If what I said made no sense to you or you think it's too complicated, use the search.

May I try to reformulate my questions?
- Can Nandroid mount (read-write) the SD FAT32 Partition which contains the filesystem image from which it has booted?
- If yes, how?
- If no, would nativeSD be the solution to share (read-write) the FAT 32 data between Android and WinMo?
Thank you for the advice.

Finally, I found it out: My SD card was partitioned. I made an extra second EXT2 partition for Android, which was a bad idea.
It turns out that Android cannot recognize partitioned SD cards or they need a separate mounting procedure, don't know exactly...
Since I have deleted the extra partition Android can read/write on the full SD card...
