Hello.
I'm one of those with an device which can't get Android on NAND (yet, waiting for MAGLDR)
So I got an idea (which I guess is discussed or tried, but didn't find anything about it).
Why put the stuffs in different img's, why not in ext partitions on the SD-card, if it even is possible...
So, does anyone know how this could be accomplished, or if it isn't possible, why?
Regards

Is it possible to triple boot WP7, WM6.5 and Android?
From what I've read from searching I would presume the answer is no, but is there anyone out there who has any more information on the topic?
WinMo 6.5 still not available as an SD build, same for WP7. One of them should be ported this way, then you´d be fine.
I guess some time and efforts of the great devs behind all those solutions will go into the soon-to-come WP7 update, maybe kind of "blocking" other stuff. But you never know, do you? At least, HSPL4 came out of nowhere...
So an SD build, thats where the OS boot directly from an SD card? So you could just have 3 SD cards, one for each OS?
Wow I've been out of the HD2 game for too long
As of now, the dual boot option runs 1 OS from NAND, then Android, the only one available as SD build, from the memory card.
Since you can make different partitions on an SD card, it could be imaginable to have 2 or even more partitions. At the end, in grey theory, 1 OS from NAND, 2 others from memory card.
Or, even if the partition stuff wouldn´t work, you still might have 1 card with Android, another one with either WP7 or WinMo 6.5 - while one of them runs from NAND again.
Hey everyone!
Is there a way to method yet for the S2 to rewrite the partitions? My S2 will be arriving today, replacing my Desire Z, and so the only reason I ask is because I like a simple partition where there is one for the phone and one for the sdcard (especially when it comes to using CWM and such).
Like on a harddrive, rather than having two partitions, like this case where there is the "internal memory" of 1gb or whatever it is, and then the remainder 16gig (not including the sdcard) is read AS an external. Could it be simply rewritten for the internal to be ~17gb? I do remember rewriting partition size on the G1 to get Cyanogenmod 6 to fit on it.
Just curious, please don't flame me if this is not feasible (or has been already done, again I don't have the phone yet and I haven't come across anything in my research, and yes I did search for it, even used "partition" to find anything).

Hmm... Why would you want that? Explanation makes no sense.
You get about 500 MB system, 2 GB data, can't remember cache, then 11 GB as sdcard, with external sd optional.
You could modify the pit in theory but that's risky, and what you are trying seems confused or outdated for this phone

Well I am just thinking from my experience with the Captivate that it poses some "oddness" when dealing with the sdcard and things like CWM, since when you put an sdcard it, it then has 3 partitions (internal, "internal extention," and the sdcard). Is there a reason the extra space is partitioned out instead of having it as part of the internal?
...while it needs a partitioned SD-card, if mine isn't?
Hey, thanks for stopping by!
I want to try out a lot of the fabulous ROMs available for the HTC Desire, but many of them 'require' a partitioned SD-card.
Although I could just partition it anyway and enjoy the benefits that come with it, I really just want to test some ROMs out for now. Because partitioning (or anything with a certain risk) means, for me, that I have to check a huge number of guides, forum posts and Youtube video's just to make sure I'm not going to screw it all up. (Because there is never a single source that tells the entire story in the detail you actually need )
So the question:
(Concerning devices with little internal memory, like my HTC Desire)
Do these ROMs need a partitioned SD-card to be able fit on my device in the first place? Or is it that after flashing, there is so little internal memory left that the only way I can enjoy new apps is through a partitioned SD-card?
Thanks for reading and I hope some of you can answer my questions!
Hello, I was wondering if anyone can help me out.
I'll start up by saying I know nothing about phones or programming so I'd appreciate your inputs if you have the patience to teach a laic
I bought Xiaomi Redmi3 and I'm so far very happy with the phone.
The only thing is I'd like to move some apps to my SD card since the phone only has 16GB.
I read somewhere that since the phone has multilanguage ROM it already has root. It comes with an app called "SuperSU".
Does this mean I can move stuff to the SD card somehow and not break the warranty of the phone?
Is there any way to move stuff to the external storage without rooting the phone?
Thank you so much!
same problem here

Hi, i recentely have tried to solve this problem. As far as i know miui doesn't support any kind of app on the SD.
However, with a rooted phone, i tried to use App2sd.
To use it i had to partition my 32 gb sd, with a first Fat32 partition (almost 20 gb), a Ext3 partition (almost 10gb), and a swap area (almost 2 gb).
App2sd used the second partition, the Ext3 one, to move apps in there.
Everything worked flawlessly, but when i rebooted the phone the MIUI didn't load the second partition (so App2sd said) and so i lost every app i moved in there, without being able to reinstall them (i recieved an error from the playstore).
Surely there may be a solution to the problem through the use of the app, however i'm not good enough to find it, and so i reflashed the miui and rolled back to the previous situation.
Hi all / @linusdan,
I wondered if any kind soul could just briefly offer their knowledge please... I've been happily flashing roms to the i9100/i9100P, N7000 for some time now, and all has been great... :good:
However my dads phone went a little screwy the other day, and so I said I would re-do it. Upon looking at it, he had a couple of storage areas of 0MB (zero) MB's and nothing could download or write to the internal storage.
I've since STOCK rom'd it, returning to the original PIT files, and tried to reset it up again. (Storage is back to normal, all fully accessible again) I've been looking at the newer roms. However in TWRP, I notice I have a SDCard0 and SDCard1 (and that's without removal storage added yet).
So I think I may a Frankenstein build of storage at moment, so re-read Linusdan's instructions, and going to totally annihilate the filesystems and start again, following the instructions.
My question is this....
Once I have done this, and moved over to fully Emulated Storage. Will this work for older roms, say KitKat / Lollipop era, or do I have to prep for stock / physical storage again? Failure to do so, would I end up with double confused storage again??
Or would simply flashing an old rom, make use of the emulated storage??
Thanks, Lister
@listerofsmeg
These days I was wondering how to do this and looking for a way to reverse the conversion.
Maybe so, but so far I have not found how.
For now, the only way to use the old ROMs is to install the stock and TWRP without emulated storage.
