Hi there,
I'm sorry if this has been asked earlier, I couldnt seem to find it quickly.
Now that we can have the wonderful Android on the Switch, is it possible to have 1 sd card for the original switch os ( games etc ), shared with partitions for Android? and if so, how would one do that?
Or is this something that's more for in the future, and we have to keep swapping the sd card for now. ( it's a lazy thing, ofc )
Kind regards,
Rinaldo

I was using "search" to find similar question but i didnt found anything.
My question is :
So far the biggest problem with battery , and android speed was related
with using SD Card.
Ok . I'm a NOOB with Android so don't laugh please :
Is there a way to build WM Rom with smallest number of files
to make device bootable and implement into this Android files ?
I know ... Android is building a BIG folder ( aprox. 700 MB ).
But if we could keep only most important system files
inside the rom , and all the rest will be kept on memory card ???
What you think ?
Is it possible ?
It could save battery , mayby more speed - only if it possible
??????
Still learning - sorry for bad EN.

There are no drivers for the NAND as far as I know. That is why there is SD boot. Go to a file explorer in android and there is no nand partition or folder in the root alongside 'sdcard'
so from what i understand, we need windows booted to power up all the hardware. correct?
i think what he was asking and i was asking earlier is:
if we build a minimal windows boot, ONLY to power up the hardware, and then move the "android" folder from memory card to main phone memory and create the launcher to start the haret and the other file from the phone memory just like it would start from SD card.
in other words treat the phone memory like a SD card am i missing something?

That is right !!!
But not to move everything from catalogue Android from SD card to phone memory.
Only most necessary files like drivers, kernel and such.
Files that could keep battery lives longer on stanby with good system stability.
If not possible...... maybe your way will be better ...if possible.
well to split the filesystem between main memory and sd card you have to change alot of file refferences and links its gonna be a nightmaire.
but i dont know enough about this system to tell if this could work or not
Hi,
I'm using wp7 now for more than 2 months and i am quite happy. i can do everything i want to. but now i wanted to install android, so that i can dual boot both of them.
as i have only one 16gb sd card i followed the steps mentioned in the 3rd method, here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913815 .
But Partition Wizard Home Edition only shows one partition of 200 mb. now i cant really delete the bigger one and create a new one.
maybe you can tell me what i am doing wrong and find a solution. furthermore i am not sure about the right android version i have to use, because i don't know the meaning of nand, sd , magldr...can i use this one

Hi bluffmaster26,
On my notebook card reader i also can't see partitions on my 16gb sd card. But everything is ok when i use external USB card reader. Try with such card reader.
did u try it on a different computer?sometimes windows 7 gets messed up?
if that doesnt work,try to post your mini partition screenshot,
i have a 16 gb sd card as well. working gr8
(dont forget to thanks the developers )
hey all,
andreyyor tipp helped.
thanks a lot!!
hi,can someone tell does exist SD card version of windows phone 7 for htc hd2?
No..not as of right now. But anything is possible thru XDA. The developers here make thee impossible possible. Just be patient.
+1
Hope that will be soon
Lot of thinks are possible on XDA, but not WP7 bootable from SD card. There is zero chance that it will happen. Its technically impossible and there is no reason to try this, since current solution is much better.
Dont wait for it, because for 99,9% it will never happen.
Why?

WP7 on SD
I understand WP7 takes over the SD card to use as storage (partition of card needed to retain some for other access) - so I think very unlikely it can run from SD itself at the same time

Earlier this month took the leap from my original WM6.5 to WP7 Ultrafruit rom. And I love it. However my SD is kind of slow and it makes my phone reboot on occasion. I have bought myself a new SD card to replace it. I am a complete noob when it comes to these things so I have no idea what I need to do to avoid problems? I am humbly asking for a step by step guide telling me the things I need to do. I am also wondering if I can use my Live activation code again within the same month, or do I have to wait? ... or is it required at all? Thanks in advance....

Well i have struggled with this too. Simply formatting the new card to FAT 32 and inserting it doesn't work.... I've tried.
I also believe that as of rom 7403 ( if i remember correctly) an SD card has to be installed during the flash/ install process which kind of suggest the OS grabs what it needs and relies on it!
There may be a way to format it so it is accepted but there are all manner of issues with brand /type/ speed of micro SD cards around, so my best advice would be to back up your data and re flash to the latest rom with the new card installed. If you are happy with the ROM you currently have you can also insert the card and do a hard reset ..but all of your data and apps will be lost.
I have used my activation code on 4 separate occasions ( while i was trying out different roms) and haven't had a problem so far.
Reading many posts on the subject has led me to believe that the code is usable on up to 5 devices but to be honest i've never tried this out.
Good luck
Some sd cards are simply incompatible and/or cause problems in wp7. There is a thread that lists all known usable/problematic/unusable sd cards. From what you have described you have a card that falls into the problematic category. (edit) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=912904
After you get a card that is proven to work you will need to reset phone (settings, about phone, reset) your activation code will work FOR YOU as many times as needed. If someone else on different hardware uses your code that's when you/they will have to wait the required time.
Cheers
just make an image file of your Old card to the new one & it will work fine, the problem is the size.
One time I managed to image my 8gig to a 16gig card leaving an unpartitioned 8gig BUT somehow I managed to move it using easeus to merge with the android partition & now i'm trying to replicate it but somehow I cant
We all know how to sideload apps to our phones.
But it gives us only the possibillity to instal 2,3 or 10 apps depending on the type of dev.account
Yes, it has to be dev. unlocked.
This trick only works on WP 8.1 and on phones who suports SD carts.
I use a free standart account so in this example i am limited to two apps.
But i want three apps, so how do i get that...........
Simple
Move the two sideloaded apps to your sd cart ( storage sense ).
Turn your phone off
Remove the sd cart.
Turn your Phone on ( without the sd ).
Now install the third app ( or a fourth ).
Then again, turn of your Phone.
Replace the sd cart and turn it back on.
Done
Thank you for your sharing here for those who do not know this trick
I postet the same think before but with an other threat name cheers

It would be better if you add to the threat name only for those phones with an sd card support
great tip
Great trick, thank you very much for sharing this useful information. Perhaps it could be compatible with users without SD card slot too.:good:
Wow cool worked on my 520 but my other 920 don't has a SD slot:/ so obviously it wont work on it
Darn. No SD card slot for me.
thank you for your share although i have known before.
