Partitioning SD card - Optimus One, P500, V General

Ok so , I think I'm the first one with this damned issue but , I just got an 8 gig A data class 6 microsd card and I want to partition it to flash void . Ok now problem is I that it's been at it for like 50 min +/- . And ofc I did with the custom recovery that is on XDA with swap 0 and ext 512mb.
So is it supposed to take such a horrible ammount of time? Or am I supposed to just turn off the device and restart ?

it could be that card. I have an 8bg class 2 and the partitioning and tremors app2sd went really fast. less than a minute.

Re-partition and re-flash the OS.... It happens sometimes, it happened with me too. The phone gets stuck in boot-loop. Partition, wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, ext partition and android secure.

As I answered in a PM, did you try to format it in Windows to see if you can ? Can you delete or write things on the sd ? I had the same issue... the card was broken so it was replaced on warranty.

[TEST]possible solution to unmount sd card!

hi guys i'm trying to find a solution for sd cards unmount on lg optimus one!!!i have a kingston 8gb cl4 and i had a 4-5 remount a day before trying this:
format with windows,choose file system fat32 and in allocation unit size choose 64 kb(should be the maximum) and give a name!
after this i had no problem for 5 days: no remount no reboot!!!
i would share this because it could be a solution....so anyone have problem may can test it!!!
there is a solid solution. buy a class 4+ micro sd..
but, kudos to you! i have a class 4+ micro sd so i can't test it out, but i'm sure others will.
btw this will kill all ur data in sdcard. backup is needed

So easy if it isn't your money that will be spent
BTW, I have a class 4 SD and it unmounts regulary, so class 4 doesn't really work.
Thanks for the tip dongimin2, I'll try it out.
before i bought kingston class 4 i had the original microsd that was shipped with optimus one and i never had problems!the problems started when i bought kingston memory!....howewer.....another day without a remount or reboot!
If speed is the problem (assuming it is), then I bet reiserfs solves the problem. That is if someone can get it to work with Android Just my opinion though.
EDIT: reiserfs for Android exists. Can someone port it for the O1? xD
8gb cl6 never once had unmount. Previously on original card, unmounts several times a day

with me happens the opposite...with original sd never had an unmount....with the cl4 8gb several!howewer i'm passed a week without unmounts!
And... what about having NO SD AT ALL? Is it possible? Does it still crash the phone?
Can someone test it (I don't own the device, sorry)?

Erm, this could really solve the unmount problem, I guess.
@kpbotbot reiserfs is goddamn fast..i have been it for past 5 years and not a single corrupt file ever..(MS needs to learn) having a2sd on reiserfs will be quite good and how abt using FAT and not FAT32 for saving data on SD..havent tried it but shudnt it work ??? Both fs have same 4GB filesize limits

But... Do android need an SD card (or an internal memory like the nexus S) to work properly? Or is it really possibile to boot without the SD

Have you tried using the old FAT on your SD? Afaik, max sizes for FAT is about 260~. I'm going to install either Debian Testing or aptosid tonight and I'm going to try out reiserfs
On the relevant side: I hope someone ports it on our kernel :/
I formatted the card from the phone , but nothing changed...i have root + milk os 1.0 touch lag kernel , before rooting + milk os kernel , i hadn't sd unmounts...i did a nandroid backup . Should i restore it ? , but i'll loose the overlock + no touch lag.. what should i do ?
Just an update: I formatted the SD card as the original poster suggested, and it did reduced the umounts considerably, but not totally.
I stigg get a umount every 5 days or so, which is surely better than twice a day
Looking forward to Gingerbread...

Which SD i have to use

Hi!,
i was wondering if you could help me with an question i have. When you are going to install a new ROM on your device (Flashing) you will probably need a SD card, and my question is ¿You need a minimun class of card? I mean, i know that is recomended to have a good quality card (Class 6 or 10), but i want to know if there is a MINIMUN CLASS REQUIRED to make flashing correctly, not to flash faster or something like that, just to get to flash WITHOUT ERRORS i don't mind if it will last 3 o 4 minutes more. To sume up i want to know if there is a Minimun class required to get to do a Flashing on my device (HUAWEI U8650/SONIC) without errors (I don't mind the time i have to spend on it). many thanks
PD: Sorry for my english . Is it so bad? Im spanish =)

Errors flashing are normally occur from a bad zip not the sd card. It really doesn't matter what sd card you use because if your phone recognizes it, then you're set.
I was in a wrong read down plz =)

Understood! Many thanks bro =)

No problem.
So, i can use the wors class of SD card that if the card isn't damaged the flash will be ok Isnt it?

Yeah. As long as the phone can read the SD card and you can flash you're good to go.
Thx again ^^
Class 2 is the class that normally come together with your phone, cause it is cheaper

Mtd roms sometimes don't get along with some SD cards. You can try formatting in cwm. If you have a spare card try formatting and using that one.
Always use proper mounting, un mounting methods.
PWGB,TKSGB10-14, adren shot xix, honeycomb2.03, ec09 radio.

ok so in simple words i should...?
when you're formatting are you doing a full erase or a quick format?
you might try a full erase, check for bad sectors and what not, use easeus partiton manager, or gparted, of the sd card formatter.
Miui ate my samsung card about a month ago and it was unrecoverable.
What brand of sd card are you having problems with? stock samsung, sandisk , or kingston?
The samsung cards are known to be shotty to begin with.

I have a 32gb San disk speed 4 that gets corrupted by the end of the day (works fine on touch wiz base roms). My Samsung 16gb micro sd seems to be the running fine on MIUI and CM7, never had a problem with it so I doubt its the brand

i doing the format by tapping on it in the pop-up at the status bar which i get when i restart my phone (after the reboot i get the pop-up that said my sd card is corrupted n i need to format it so i can use it again...). should i do it differently? and i have a sandisk sd card but it worked actually really fine when i bought it, so i dunno what happened...
so i need to do an hard format?
I had the same problem when I updated to Miui i can't remember the exact build i think week 90? Stock Samsung 16 gb... I was running stock kernel which I believe to be Jt's no? now I'm reduced to a 2bg until I get money to buy yet another card -.-
What kind of error notifications did you guys get?
If you got one saying something like bad sd card
All you need to do is unmount it, and remove it off the phone
Then reboot, and pop it back in

How did you format yours? Through the phone or using the computer? Damn formatting through the computer takes 30 min for me. I have not tried formatting through the phone yet cause I heard its one of the guarantees of frying the sd cards on EC09 days, not sure if this roms frying abilities is the same.
Btw it seem to only damage my 32GB San disk, my stock Samsung sd card is surviving MTD roms

lower class sdcard will lag the device and lead your sdcard to corruption.
your device will also experience system hang because of low read/write speed.

Expand Galaxy S3 internal memory with Cyanogenmod

Hi everyone,
I bought a 64Gb memory card thinking to expand the internal memory of my Galaxy S3, I have Rooted my phone and installed the non-oficial Cyanogenmod 12.1 (which is great & works very good)
I wonder if I have to make an special partition in my card & if I can move the apps with Link2SD, or how is the procedure.
I was reading in different webs but now I'm confused now because there are different information. Even In some places they tell that is not possible, just if the Rom is original , that's the reason I decided to write here.
I hope someone can help me & thank's in advance.
Ed
I guess you should just make a partition at your sd card with partition magic (that is a pc program) then install the card and link2sd to your phone and you are ready.

Finaly after a long time I did it, but I was very disappointed because I hope my free ram increase but it wasn't & the phone speed was pretty much the same. And the worst thing was on the next day when after a final boot, it disappear from the phone all the apk's I have installed on the SD card. I couldn't believe it, so after all time lost. I delete everything & I put the Cyanogenmod again.
At the end, I had forgotten my plan and I will use my sd card to save my music & photos. -) Very bad experience. I hope some one could read it. Thanks for the answers. Ed
Ram cannot increase. It's physically installed on your phones motherboard and that's it.

@edugarb: management of ext partition even needs more RAM. The only way to run LP on S3 smoothly is to keep the system slim.
