You can make Ext2 or Ext3 in Recovery (There work for A2SD). Unfortunately, ClockworkMod doesn't support Ext4 yet, but you can make an Ext4 partition in Ubuntu if you happen to be running it. Hope this helps

@HCDR.Jacob,
hey there, sorry i'm a noob but can you show me how to create atleast an ext3 in clockworkmod or ROM manager? i've been at it for sometime and i do think i've formatted my sd card with ext partition but when i install apps from market or appbrain it still uses the phone memory. any ideas where I go wrong?

[PRJ][LNX] openmoko on opal - update!

using haret and the wing linux kernel an openmoko image boot on opal!!
i find all on open-nandra web site
but using an ext2 partition don't boot
you must make an ext3 partition
thanks a lot to marek(open nandra) and the wing linux team
how to:
Your SD card should have 2 partitions:
- fat
- ext3
extract the attached haret.7z to FAT partition of SD card
extract rootfs to ext3 partition
run haret.exe and wait some time (you should see angstrom splash screen)
do the screen calibration (if the phone freeze soft reset it relaunch haret)
now you are in openmoko
thanks to open-nandra and winglinux team

Hi... great news. Do you know what works with this OS in opal? Wifi, sound, etc ...?

MiniTool Partition Wizard Professional Edition 5.2
password is: " pirate.scar "
then see this video to understand how to work with that:

in this step i used a linux os on pc because windows doesn't support ext format

did u test that? u mean that
kernel + haret : open-moko-kernel-wizard.tar.bz2
rootfs : openmoko-devel-image-glibc.rootfs.tar.bz2
work on opal?

the function are the same of winglinux (no audo - no wifi - no bt - etc...) becouse the kernel is the same
for making a partition you can use a live cd of linux like ubuntu
and yes i test it on my opal and its work
for booting it you must keep the default txt and change the mtipe
and use the zimage of winglinux package
tomorrow i'll upload a zip whit haret default and zimage

Mistery!
did all that from the description! however, did not get it to life!
I create partitions with that mini tool. Copy all of that files what i need! Windows 7 can see fat partition and i can do with it what i want, but in my WinMob device HTC Touch Viva((opal) using Jogan2 EVO-B rom) sd card is invisible!
Linux see all of partitions.
Why Win7 see that card but WINMOB don't?

i'm on holliday
you must unzip the file on the ext3 partition
try to download the file again

ok... i try to edit sd from Device not from reader!
But now when i run haret i have the same problem
Root-NFS: no NFS server available, giving up
...
VFS: cannot open root device "mmcb1KOP2' or unknown - blocked (2,0)
plz append a corect "root=" boot option ; here are the available partitions:
kernel panic - not syncing: VFS : unable tp mount roof fs unknown-blocked (2,0)
?
Will try to reformat the partition and recopy files!

no...something is wrong in default.txt
i tried many texts but could't rin
haret cannot find "mmcb1KOP2"

maybi we need to give a correct name of partition! Or special label!

any new? g.triple can u see again what's the problem?
i also have extracting problem with 7.zip

[Q] Create EXT4 partition on HD2 SD card

I don't exactly know how to create it. I already have an EXT3 partition that I created with CWM recovery. Can I convert that to EXT4 somehow or do I do something else? If I can convert it, please tell me how. Thanks in advance!

Cwm will only create in ext 3 format for ext 4 use an sd card partitioner on your pc ..... I have 2vb partition made with Cwm AMD it works beautifully for all roms.... May I ask why you need ext4 partition

Thanks for the response, but what exactly is that? Can I use a flashable zip to convert ext3 to ext4 instead? If so, can I have the link to the flashable zip? I need ext4 because of Sense 3.5 ROMs.... they give better performance.

It's not a zip I meant take it sd card put it in your computer and use a program to partition sd cards to do ext4 because you can only do ext 3 on your phone through Cwm not ext4

Which program should I use? I don't think Minitool does it and I couldn't find "2vb partition CWM AMD". Are there any others?

CLK Should Have Q&A Thread And Other Stuff !

OK for the C.L.K Q&A thread it should be there and also should be a sticky.
And also i have a weird problem with my HD2
SO I just installed C.L.k 1.5.2.1 From the Sdcard in Hardspl Screen red/white/blue thingy And
then installed T.W.R.P 2.6.0.0 from fastboot from my Ubuntu PC not a problem and finished that then
i booted T.W.R.P it was not able to mount sdcard or the sd-ext partition at all So i thought it wont read beacuse from
MAgldr to Clk related stuff so i reformatted my sd-card which is a Samsung 8gb class 6 to fat32 and ext4 partitions in gparted
copied my roms to that and installed through TWRP then had another problem as that the ext4 partition wont mount in bootup
or with TWRP so redid every thing so the questions is why does the ext4 partiton not mount never had any problems with that on magldar
AND is it best to use ext3 or ext4 for android So Devs and experts whats ur thought on this ?????
Before all of the that i had made a 500 MB System partition as i had 23 bad blocks in my nand so :crying: yeah had a hell lot of reboots
force closes in a 440 MB in maglder that's the max for it don't know why i don't use the onboard data partition as i use { DATAONEXT }
Specifics :: Tmous ; CLK1.5.2.1 ; T.W.R.P 2.6.0.0 ; Slim Rom 7.2 ; Thanks for reading all my blaabering TEEHEE

I won't answer EVERYTHING, but try this:
Backup SD card, and use the formatter in TWRP>advanced to format the sdcard and let it choose which "ext" partition to create, you just choose the size, with 0 swap of course. Report back.

Not enough memory to install anything

Hi,
Short / long story:
I have long time unused HTC HD2.
With Android (NexusHD2-KitKat-CM11.0_V4.5.zip is the file which I found in backup, so I assume this is what I install - sorry, it was long time ago.
Some time ago I need microSD card so I took it from my HD2, I did backup only windows FAT32 partition.
Now, I need to run my HD2 , I have install microSD 2 GB (800 MB FAT32 + 1GB Ext4) but is not working correctly.
It starting I can install Teamviewer, but when I need to install HTC module for teamviewer it's telling me that is not enough storage.
Quite often is restarting and after restart not keeping any settings (wi-fi) app installed (teamviewer) it's resetting each time to factory settings.
In Settings - Storage shows 'Total space' - Available 0.00 bytes
I did what is instructed on this webpage but it didn't help http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...mory-in-android-nand-roms-cannot-install-apps
Can anybody advise me which is the easiest way to make my HD2 working properly? Means have enough memory to do anything.
The purpose of restoring my HD2 is working as a router, tethering machine. I need to share internet from mobile network for smart TV and Tablet over wi-fi. It will be unattended so I need remote control access (team viewer host).
I'm open for a suggestion of changing the ROM if there is something reasonable easy and described (as I'm not big ROM expert). i've seen a ROM list for HD2, is too long.
Thanks in advance for your help.

it sounds like you are missing a data partition, perhaps the sdcard you used before had an ext4 partition which your new one does not have. Use recovery, in nand, to create an ext4 partition, then boot into rom, might work.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I did Ext4 by MiniTool Partition under Windows primarily.
And later in recovery, I have setup 1024MB and swap = 0 M.
It didn't help.
Should I mount it or so?
Update:
I have a look in log in nand - recovery and it's says that my second partition is Ext3 not Ext4.
And there is no way to change it.

What is your nand recovery? version?
Clk or magldr?
The recovery might say ext3 when it means ext4, but it does not seem right.

It says on the top bar screen 'CWM-based on Recovery v5.0.2.6' but was install with ROM so should be fine.

try using the recovery to format the ext partition to ext2 or 3 then use it again to ext4

As I said, I have created and formatted partitions under windows FAT32 & Ext4 and then under recovery, there was no choice of the file system file, I can only choose the size. And it was formatted to Ext3 - log saying.
