hi there
hope u people are fine...
my question is what is the max size we can keep on ext. partition on sd card
i have 8 gb card
currently i have 512 mb on my ext partition but still whenever i install more apps it give error memory is very less and phone works very slow it is always aroung 54- 72 mb only to before starting any app or game i have click on task killer
is there any solution to this...
or any rom which can solve this isssue currently running 1.5 froydvillain
because of this issue i have started hating my hero
please let me know any solution to this
Simple solution back up ur EXT - partition & format it. Otherwise Download Quick system info App from the market & Check your App2sd is working correctly or not ..
thanks for your reply
what should be the size of ext3 partion if i have 8 gb memory card ???
512 mb or more
i think it doesn't matter you can make 512 or 1024 Mb also .. but just too not sure
the size of the ext-partition should not be the problem...
format your sdcard (back it up first)
and be sure to create an ext2 partition just to be on the safe side
some kernels do not support ext3+
(not sure if ninpo's kernel does)

Should support it, but use EXT2 to save the life of your SD card
Your dalvik cache is filling up your on board memory.
How do I know if my EXT Partition is working??
i followed the steps perfectly..& ,y 16Gb sd card have 2 partition 1.5GB EXT4 - 13GB FAT32
but im not seeing a different with my internal memory space...its the same
i feel like its the same with out the EXT partition.
plz guys help me....
i needed more internal storage to install application...so i found a topic talking about making SD card 2 partition 1 EXT & the Other normal Fat32..i understod that the EXT partition will be as internal memory & i followed the steps
after flashing the NAND i didnt find any different in my internal memory storage & after installing some application my internal memory got low...so i used APP2SD but as u all know some application cant be moved to SD.
so plz i want to know where is my EXT4 1.5GB partition & how can i know if its working or not ?
Does your rom you are flashing use data2ext or app2sd? If the rom itself isn't set up to recognize the partition I doubt you can just add a partition.

i was using MDJ FroYo Revolution v.2.3 [A2SD+][RMNET][Kernel: MDJ S10.2 OC]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=823491
but my memory got low tooo fast from a little application....so im now using a smaller NAND
CleanDROID v1.30 - Super Clean [FROYO+Cyanogen][Kernel GL v1]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=917590 just to get more free space
I haven't tried either of those so can't comment. The one I'm using certainly recognises my partition and I have plenty of "internal" memory.
I know most recommend not going above 1gb for the partition as larger ones can cause a problem. Try reformatting the partition and resize it to 1gb and see if that helps.
thank you ill try another NAND
can u tell me ROM r u using?

hi guys
hope you keeping well, i have really sucks problem
i tried to install android roms with htc sense (core droid, rafdroid, kingdom hd2) and all these roms stuck on the same place.
i did all the sd card things correctly.
now
i placed the zip file on the sd card.
i went on the recovery and did wipe the data, and the cash then choose to install zip from sd card,
did the installation all correct and got msg : successfully installed.
i choosed reboot system now
then the phone just stuck over there: coredroid screen, rafdroid screen, kingdom screen
i left the phone for each rom like 40 minutes and nothing happened. please help me out.
the only rom that installed and worked correctly was nexusHD2 but its without htc sense.
and oh my phone is the hd2 EU. not T-Mobile.
thanks in advance.
All Sense ROMs require big partitions, so check that out, most is like 5\180\5 for EU. I got T-Mobile, so..... Try CMYLXGO's, he has a LITE version.

6 GB of EXT?
Afaik, Its not recommended to have ext partition more than 2GB.
This must be a combination of to big Ext partition ( 1Gb is enough ) and the wrong CWM partition layout.
Repartition your SD Card to 15 gb Fat32 and 1 gb ext3 or ext4.
Look in the concerning thread for the rom you have chosen which partition layouts you need for cwm. Get them, flash them and try to intall the rom again.
hahaha okay guys, ill try to do the partition thing again, ill do it 1 GB ext4 and 15 FAT32 ... hope it would work this time, ill let you know in a little
I agree with pat, I use a 1gb layout. Good luck mane.
thanks guys, i did it 1GB ext4 and 15 FAT32 ... its loading now guess its working thank you so much for your help guys
thank you all guys .... SOLVED ... just like you said 1GB is enough and everything worked fine... thank you so much again all
Followed your steps, working for me too
Hey there,
first, thank for this really great ROM - [17/02/2013] [JB] [4.1.2] Pixeldroid Jelly Bean V2.4[AOKP] [BeatsAudio] [720p]
its running a few weeks absolutly fine, fast.
but today, i needed to reboot the phone and then i got the welcome screen (that one after a clean install).
the problem is the memory, i followed exactly the installation steps but it seems, it uses the internal memory for apps (~55 MB are full, nothing left)
the actual memory status is shown in the attachment.
seems, the ext4 partition on the 8 GB SD isn't used, but why ?
and - how can i free the internal, no chance to install any app

You need to install something to switch data usage to the sd card. There are many scripts & apps to accomplish this but I couldn't tell you which would be best for your rom.
Alternately, you can ask whoever published the rom to add a DataOnExt install option.

The DataOnExt comes with the ROM and i activated it within the install routins.
At this Point i can't install any app.
any chance to clear something with QtADB from the internal mem to get a a2SD or smth. else working ?

How big is your ext partition?

I don't understand the language in the picture so I can't make anything out of it, but if you really have a 1.5gb ext partition and you chose dataonext during installation you shouldn't have any problems.

I Think i will do a full reinstall and check again the option with dataonext, and restore my saved data,
thanks for your help

Marvlesz is right - it should work if you have DataOnExt. The picture shows "Available" space if I am not mistaken. What is your "Internal" space indicate? Look in Titanium Backup if you can.

Above, the "internal" Available Space is 0,0 GB
56,83 MB used from apps
i used the configuration in the rom description:
★ install Recovery with 300 MB System and 5 MB Cache
★ 2 GB EXT4 cluster default / SWAP 256 MB / the rest FAT32 cluster default
the "USB Speicher" (5,31 GB at all) ist the fat32 part on the SD Card
QtADB says :
/data: nothing shown
/system : 292,97 MB at all with 51,41 MB free
/sdcard : 5,16 GB at all with 4,89 free
/ext: grey (empty)

Something is definitely very wrong but I cannot yet see what or where. Marvlesz, any ideas yet?
Your memory display should look something like this one - this is with 3 GB of ext4 partition:
You might want to take a look at this post about formatting. You may spot something that you did differently which could help.
Not knowing your ROM I can only guess what it is expecting.
Your ext4 partition is the second one on the card, marked as primary, yes?
What does DF report?
The data part. was corrupted end not write or readable, after a recovery reinstall i got "internal" size of 1,65 GB with 1,21 GB free
Thanks for your help !! you helped me to indicate the lost data partition
Is there anyone who can tell me how to fix my internal storage problem? I am currently on crdroid 8.1 ROM but it just showing me 9.5 GB of current internal storage in every file manager but it shows 13.55 GB of internal storage in settings. I am not able to find the missing 3 GB. Someone please help me!
Ps - sorry for bad English.
Really I just filled 7 GB and 2gb free total 9 GB but why file manager just showing 11 GB of internal storage? And what the heck is settings showing?

Likely not a "bug". Device has 16GB of addressable (writeable) storage but not all of that is available for your use. Typically 10-11GB is set aside for user data including apps; rest is reserved for the rom and other system files, bootloader, kernel, modems, etc.

Likely reflects the total space used in the system + data partitions.
