[Q] apps in ext4 - Galaxy Ace S5830 General

Hi all, just needed to know
1: if apps in ext4 partition of sd card has the full data of the application?
That is, apps stay after flashing a new rom?
Another question, if I flash to stock rom which does not support ext4 app2sd will the whole sd card be unreadable? For example if I flash stock froyo from coderom?
Third question which is simple, wondering if I can flash a stock rom with Odin if I had replaced the stock recovery with cwm?

1. only if have enabled data2sd. But they will not availaible after flashing.
2. No. it'll be readable. Only the ext4 part will not detected by pc.
3. Yes
Hit thanks if I helped!!!

I think for q no 2 is, the ext4 partition wouldnt be detected even on the phone itself if u flashed to rom that doesnt support ext4. Its common sense really

1) Depends on the a2sd script used...
2)fat32 partition cn b read. ext4 cnt b...
3) yes

Do know it's common sense but for my mini pro even formatting to ext2 gives a "sd card cannot be read" and prompts to format. So i'll have to make sure just in case, have to revert to froyo to try to use my warranty for my defective phone earpiece.

Link2SD question for 2.3

Am I the only one who notices this or did I not configure my link2sd properly.
After setting up Link2SD to work, if I reflash my ROM, suddenly the new ROM will only recognize my Link2SD partition instead of my 1st partition.
Is there an easy way to point to the ROM to the correct partition rather than having to remove the Link2SD partition?
Thx.

The ROM can only recognize one partition at a time, if you have swap set up then you can switch between partitions, other wise, only link2sd can recognize the second partition and only on ROMS/Kernels that have the option enabled, otherwise your SD card will show up as corrupted or only one partition.
Basically the new rom wipes your swap enabled and your custom installrecovery.sh files which run your link2sd.
You need to create the required files in system/etc for your phone to be able to read the partitions correctly. And I think some roms need a custom kernel to activate swapiness too.
I have my link2sd all set up with wolfs rom and thjaps kernel, and take a backup before I flash anything now in case it screws it up.

[Q] Ext3 partition

Hi guys i'm new , and newbie
i need help to use my ext partition on my O1.
I have flashed the Gtr 5.8 rom based on cm 7.2 but i can't see the partition.
i tried to use freespace app and a2ext app but these can't see this one.
I have flashed 3 Roms but no one works with this partition.
My recovery is Clockwork 5.0.0.7.
Sorry for my bad english and thanks a lot for anyone can answer me
I'm not familiar with that ROM, but I just glanced at the discussion thread, and there are instructions/advice for using apps2sd. Have you read that?

I had the same problem.I did this and it worked.It's simple just create the partition again
First backup all the data of SD card
then install Amnora recovery as mentioned in GTR rom by neko95.
Reboot into recovery
Then in partition set value 0 in both partition n swap,you'll have a blank SD with it's full capacity
Then again partition as your wish.
Then copy all the backed up data.
Then open S2e
it'll be able to detect the created partition
Hope i helped!!
yes, use amonra...clockwork's default to ext3/ext4....forget which one or maybe both....if you want specifically ext3 for whatever reason that might be, use amonra than partitition than upgrade from ext2 to ext3 in the partition portion of amonra recovery
ok, i think to have undestanded.
When i have an hour free i try to do this, with amonRa.
Thank you a lot

How did you partition your SD card? What program did you use, what type of partition is it, and how is it formatted?

I have used clockwork mod recovery 5.0.2.7 I guess I have partitioned my sdcard i.e. 512mb ext

I believe CWM defaults to ext4. If you didn't make any other partitions, then your SD card partition structure should be as follows now:
/mnt/sdcard, FAT, primary
/sdext, ext4, primary
Try using link2sd's menu to recreate mount scripts, & choose ext4. Also, make sure you're still rooted properly, and still have expected su access.

I recollect facing the same problem.I guess the problem isn't with link2sd its got to to do with the fact that the stock kernel doesn't support ext partition try flashing a custom kernel that supports ext partition.

Ah, good catch! I didn't notice that.
If you don't want to flash a new ROM, you can format the 2nd partition as FAT, and link2sd has the option to mount that the same way as others.

I can't flash kernels now!!! Which one suits stock better!! Or modified stock kernel!!!
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda app-developers app
I don't understand. Do you want to keep stock, or flash a custom ROM? If all you want is to use link2sd, you shouldn't need to flash anything.

Backup your sd card on PC.
Do factory reset
Re partition ur sd card in cwm
Start phone & install link2sd before any other application
Use ext4
If ur kernel doesnt support ext 4
Partition ur card on PC using some partitioning software. use ext2 in this case. And try link2 sd now
Pls let me know if this helps

Can't install a rom in my Ace

Hello
I once installed the MIUI rom and tried some other roms too but I wanted to go back to MIUI and can't! I just get stuck in bootscreen
I've tried to format dada/sdcard/system/cache and to mount/unmount everything before installing, I tried to partitpate sdcard but no ****ing luck
but I can flash every other rom without a problem like tw9;5
Fixed!!!: I had to format my phone to partition EXT4 with Rio's Multi-Formatter (It works on Ace)
Have you formatted your phone's partitions to EXT4?
MIUI is CM7 based, which requires an EXT4 partition to operate.
Search for rio's multi-formatter, or the flashable EXT4 formatter (can be found in bieltv.3's CM7 or CM9 thread, I can't remember).
Remember, after formatting, to flash a kernel. You don't want to hard brick your phone, do you?
