[Problem] CARD 16GB NOT SUPPORT APP2SD? - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello ppl.
i have a microsd 16gb , my rom is behero+ but not working app2sd.
on my microsd 2gb works perfectly.
Suggestions?
Thanks

did you create a ext2 partition for your 16gb card?

yes but see:

read the instructions @ htcpedia.com, he said you need to set-up the ext partition as first one (you have it as second one )

No you did not.
You only have a vfat partition; the 2 others are free space
Try:
mkfs.ext2 -m 0 -O dir_index,sparse_super /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
or replace mkfs.ext2 with mke2fs

Have you got the latest Amon-Ra recovery?
Just format your card and use the recovery to do your partitioning.

exactly, use amon ra and it will work. and "don't works" is NOT an error message.

hello
i use the latest amon ra and create particion correctly

Use BTDAG's guide. There is a section on testing Apps2SD. Use that.
... and again, if it doesn't work,... GIVE DETAILS!!!!!!!

ok i follow the tutorial :
Check A2SD
Please assume it is automatically working unless you can load applications without your SD card inserted. However, here is the process for those who are pedantic about these things (like me ). Many thanks to Villainrom Wiki for this process.
1. Download check.zip from the bottom of this guide.
2. Extract check.sh
3. Download GScript Lite from the market
4. Place check.sh on your SD card in a folder named gscript
5. Open GScript and press:
Menu
Add Script
Uncheck "needs su"
Load File
Select check.su
Save
6. Then click check from the main screen and you will get a readout of whether it is enabled or not.
when finished process the script says: APP2SD IS NOT WORKING..
what more details you want?
i use rom behero+ microsd 16 classe 6

Have you checked the partitions have done correctly? Through the DOSprompt thing or whatever it is.

yes i check the partioned is ok i think...exist another way the create particions?
another tutorial?

Post another screenshot.
I dont know any other ways. Everyone I know has used the Amon Ra recovery to do the partitioning and all is ok.
Maybe your SD is dead?

dead i dont believe. but i think amon ra dont support 16gb.
On my microsd 2gb works fine.

[MOD]data2ext for CM7

Hey guys!
Just thought this would be handy for anybody with higher-class SD cards.
Keep in mind that I did NOT create the data2ext script, and BlaY0 from Legend forum was the one who came up with it in his roms, so kudos to him for making it
NOTE: a2ext and data2ext, choose ONE. You cannot run them together.
What is data2ext?
Similar to a2ext, where data/app were stored inside your ext partition of the SD card, data2ext stores the whole /data inside your ext partition.
What does that mean?
That means your internal storage will barely be used, and because nowadays higher-class SD cards runs faster than your internal memory, your phone will be able to crank out some insane benchmarks.
Requirements?
1. A good sd card with ext2/ext3 partition. suggested with at least 512MB of it (but not over 2GB, otherwise trouble will arise)
2. For now I think this will only work on the CM7 nightlies. I'll make one for CM6 if it is ever needed.
Instructions?
1. Flash it
2. Make your ext2 block size 4kb (done so by doing adb shell mke2fs -m0 -b4096 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2)
3. Go to your terminal emulator/adb shell to type data2ext --enable
4. Reboot
5. Wait some time. Files will be copied over, so the reboot will be slow.
6. Go check your storage and see how much you got
Since I was unable to run quadrant from cm7, here's the bench results done w/ 3rdsense:

I bare no responsibility for your phone breaking if you do decide to do this and something went wrong!
Enjoy.
Ha, nice. I was waiting for something like this. Now I have a new ROM, new kernel, and new extension to play with. Gonna be a fun night. Thanks ^_^
I must say, this was the thing I was waiting for the first time I rooted my phone so long ago.
I thank you good sir, assuming this works
It works just fine, I scored a 1641 on CM7 with miguel's new kernel OCed at 864.
Can't enable data2ext. Although I type just like it wants.
What's the exact error it gives you?
Can I use an 8gig memory card?

What matters is your sd card class, and the ext partition.
if i have s-off (if its needed) how can I put that command into terminal emulator??
You type it? you open terminal emulator and type it in?

haha alright didnt know if it would be same command. Im very tired, dont laugh
didnt work in terminal emu. "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 is apparently in use by the system, will not make a filesystem here!"
also: just confirming that a wipe from recov wont mess with the data on our SD's right?
No it won't wipe SD data, you could try just a normal reboot, make sure nothing's using it. You could also go into recovery and enable data2ext from adb.

thanks but that doesnt help me. that error prevents me from doing anything with this. also, i said i dont want to set up adb. never use it and dont have time now.
also, obviously its being used by having a2sd?
Yes a2sd is the reason, disable it, enable data2ext and you'll still have a2sd since apps are stored in /data, which will be on your sdcard.

[Q] Overcome the large file limit of FAT32?

I want to be able to copy files >4Gb to my Touchpad. This is so I can watch HD movies on the device.
I already tried adding resizing the media partition and adding an ext3fs partition using "Tailor" (a webOS app). Although this is easy and it worked, I couldn't find any way to have this partition mount at boot time and be seen by my Android apps.
There are a couple of posts out there on the web from people claiming that they "reformated" the shared partition (/media/internal) to ext3fs successfully.
Has anyone here done that, and if so (a) how? and (b) were you able to have it mount and be visible from android apps?
Otherwise does anyone have any suggestions please?
cheers
Paul

Getting somewhere...
I tried again having found out that the ext3 partition I created in webOS is found at /dev/mapper/store-ext3fs
Under Android - everything below is done in Android
I am able to mount this partition to my fake sd card (I just created a folder there called "ext").
Code:
su
mount /dev/mapper/store-ext3fs /sdcard/ext
I found that copying files by USB doesn't work while my ext3 partition is mounted, which is a pain - would be good to get that fixed. Anyone have any ideas?
I am now testing copying over a >4Gb file to my ext3 partition using ftp client. Will take some time on my crappy wifi, hence the comment about fixing USB.
I found that in order to make the ftp process work, I had to give full permissions to this folder.
Code:
chmod /sdcard/ext
I am a noob, so if anyone can help me with a less insecure set of permissions I would be grateful.
I'll post an update later on.
Nah, didn't work. After a few hours of copying I went to bed, this morning the folder is empty. I'm not sure if there was an error or anything.
My suspicion is that it crapped out when it got to 4Gb because even though the partition is ext3, it is mounted at a mount point on a FAT32 partition.
I realised I can test this more easily and eliminate possible network errors or ftp client instability, I'm running
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=output.dat bs=1024 count=51200000
within my /sdcard/ext folder (my mount point), this should create a 5Gb file.
I'm expecting this to fail, again because even though the partition is ext3, it is mounted at a mount point on a FAT32 partition. If anyone can help me to mount the partition some other way so its not mounted in a FAT32 partition, or point to another method to overcome the file size limit, I would be grateful.
thanks
Paul
That worked!
dd-ing a large file worked. I think I got my calculations wrong so when it got to >7Gb I just stopped it.
Now it would be great to get this working such that I can use USB instead of ftp to get my movies across.... Anyone?

USB transfers not working
Anyone help me identify partition number for my ext3 partition please?
My ext3 partition is all working except when mounted I cannot use USB transfer.
Believe this is because my vold.fstab mounts the first available partition as SD card.
So would like to know correct partition number for SD card and ext3 partition.
I gave up on this in the end. Assured by clearly very clever jcsullins over on the cm touchpad IRC that the partition doesn't get a number and I would not be able to get my USB file transfer working. I also found the available media players (or maybe CM itself at the moment?) unable to cope with my 720P movies.
All is not lost though. I'm having more luck over on webOS using touchplayer and an overclocked kernel.
Thanks to those who tried to help with this!

first.. get this... http://www.alexpage.de/usb-image-tool/
make sure it is USB Image Tool 1.59 when you download...
next get gparted-live-0.13.1-2.iso
burn it to the CD...
- after you have extracted the usb image tool... open USB Image Tool.exe
- select the corresponding usb drive and click backup, save it something like streakinternal.img
- it will take some time to complete ( have instant noodle for the time being )
- once done... replace the sd card that you want to transfer the image to and click restore and select the earlier streakinternal.img
- again.. it will take some time to complete (you can have snack this time )
note: make sure the target sdcard is the same or bigger in size (obviously)...
- once completed...
- reboot your pc and insert the burned CD earlier... let it boot from it... just press enter to everything it ask until it fully loaded into linux environment
- gparted should already show your sdcard drive there... it should show /dev/sda1 and below it got two more partition /dev/sda5 (ext3) and /dev/sda6 (ext3)
- select /dev/sda1 and right click it and select move/resize
- there should be visual displaying the drive structure and on the right, there should be arrow, drag it to the most right, click ok
- now, select /dev/sda6 and right click it and select move/resize
- again, on it, there should be arrow on the right, drag it to the most right and click ok
- once all that done, click apply and it will start to do its work..
- let it completes it work and your sd card now should be able to be use as internal sd...
- your streak should be able to boot straight away.. no need to wipe cache or something like that...
- have fun having big internal sd

POSSIBLE FAQ:
-- 01 --
Q - Will the method used gone if i do factory reset?
A - Nope. You can safely do it and the structure will be maintained.
-- 02 --
Q - Can i use more than 16gb card?
A - Theoretically, yes.
-- 03 --
Q - Can we use this as sd storage as well?
A - Sorry. We cant because it is formated in ext3, so windows see it as unformatted medium.
-- 04 --
Q - Cant we create shortcut in external sd to access it?
A - Sorry. We cant because symlink does not work on any windows formatted medium since external sd usually formatted in fat32
-- 05 --
Q - Cant we mount this at all?
A - Somebody has tried it before but since the internal sd never meant to be accessed externally, the support is pretty much impossible.
-- 06 --
Q - How can we access it and where is it located?
A - To access the space, you can use root explorer and wifi file explorer (anything similar will do) and it is located at /data from /
Therefore, you must be rooted to access it.
-- 07 --
Q - So, what the hell am i supposed to do with those huge extra GBs?
A - Well, you can brag bout it to your friends, saying it got this huge internal sd space and can install hundreds of applications or games and still got space left for more.

MORE ADVANCED MODS.:
If you think having large innerSD is not enough, we could have larger /system dir and possible dual usb mount support by default (in the near future hopefully) for our streak 5.

Can someone explain my storage....

Okay. So the Galaxy S3 16GB model has a useable storage of 11.35GB.
Below is why I'm confused, and why the storage just doesn't add up. It's either that, or I'm just a retard.

I open up root explorer:

> /legacy = 1.00GB
2. What is the difference between /0 and /legacy?
From what I can see they hold exactly the same data, but 2 copies of it in 2 different locations.
Why is Android using up twice as much space as it needs to?

Hi Bortak,
Have a read of the link about 4.2 and sdcard in my signature. I think it contains all your answers.
0 and legacy are the same btw. As in they're both links to the same location. No duplication exists

Hi rootSU,
Thanks for the reply...
So is it just a case of root explorer being confused, thence confusing myself?
Now when I check the filesize of /emulated, it is shown as 4.09GB
When I check the filesize of /sdcard0 (/0), it is shown as 2.04GB
Also, even if that is the case, this still doesn't explain why Android doesn't see about 4GB of my internal memory, or doesn't list it in the breakdown.

It just never will be that simple.
But to sum up, /data/media becomes /data/media/0 when you upgrade to 4.2
In /data/media you should only have 0, legacy and obb. Anything else there (eg /clockworkmod) will take up space but not be reported in storage menu. Thsi data shouldn't be here so with root explorer, move anythign in /data/media that isn't 0, legacy or obb into where it should be (0)

I completely brain-farted with the whole storage, bit.. and forgot you access the sd-card from /data now.
I just read this:
Anything else to be aware of?
Yes actually, many older recoveries still probably see /data/media as the location of /sdcard, so nandroid backups may end up there instead of /0. For example, often you end up with /data/media/clockworkmod instead of /data/media/0/clockworkmod. Some recoveries have a setting to change the location to /data/media/0 (Such as Philz recovery)
Because the Settings > Storage > sdcard shows the space free and used for /data as "sdcard" but only looks in /data/app, /data/data and /data/media/0 to get the breakdown of what is using the space, you will find that anything just in /data/media will show aup s used space, but the breakdown of apps, pictures, media etc will not show these files so it appears that they do not add up.

Yeah, it's usually CWM that does it. Not sure how newer ones manage.
I do recommend you try Philz recovery if you haven't already though. Its CWM but massively enhanced. You can toggle whether it uses data/media or /data/media/0 too.

Yeah I'm not talking about installing apps I was using on a new ROM, I'm talking about being able to create a backup that INCLUDES the partition being used by Link2SD. As it is right now 4ext recovery is not seeing that partition and I'm not sure why. Neither is OBackup.

yes, they both should see it...
what type of ext is it ?
Did you use 4ext to make it ?
Have you swapped it ?
Still dont unstand why you need Link2SD ?

because I need more space on my phone's internal storage.

it is not the same as using the Android "move to SD" that is built in. what it does is after you create a second partition on your SD card, it makes your phone think it's part of it's internal storage, thus allowing you to install an ungodly amount of apps It uses sim-linking, if I'm correct. Check out the site it will give you more info. I love it. I made the second partition with GPARTED on a linux box. I may try doing it from recovery but I will have to wipe my entire sdcard for that and I didn't want to have to do that. I can test it with another sdcard and see if the new partition created is able to be used by link2sd then also backed up by the recovery. I'll have to check that out.

Yes, I understand..
I have not used sd2link since the Htc Desire(which was very low memory) and Desire HD2 (windows/android)...
I find now, that most app's/apk's now use the sdcard
and a app like app2sd keeps you informed
Ext3 or Ext4 must be used for Ext.
More common way of increasing memory is to swap internal with a ext4 on a fast sd card.:victory:
None of this, probably, is no help to you...
If you are rooted, you could use Titanium
Hope some of this helps .... Good luck
