[Q] Format 32GB with ext4?!?! - HTC EVO 3D

I just received my 32gb class 10 card in the mail. Does the Evo 3D support a2sd because I wanted to format it with a 512mb ext4 but don't know how to do it. I've always done it through recovery.

Try G-Parted

Why not just use the built in apps2sd?

Thanks alot. Saved it to my bookmarks for when we get Roms going.

Darktremor A2SD is an add on to some custom roms. NO S-OFF, No Recovery means no custom roms at this point in time.
Re-ask your question in the future.

I was actually the OP. I just posted on my bro account. Thanks for the help though. Does the 3d support a2sd without root though because I like all of my apps on the sdcard.

Waiting for s-off to get this going. I gave conap the original code back when he had an Eris. However, we do have a different emmc layout and I need to see exactly how all the partions are utilized.

dont forget that the incredible has more NAND than our evos so we'll probably only be able to get 2-3 roms at once but i still would love this

I originally had a dual boot script for the Hero, then tried to create a universal script for multiple phones. Most of my testing was done on an EVO, but I had so many problems with it. Parts of it would work then I would make changes to fix the other problems and then that created other problems. I haven't given up, but once I knew I was getting an EVO 3D I halted all work on it until I could mess around with this phone.
EVO 3D SPECIFIC:
Now I'm just waiting for an unlocked phone. Making a script phone specific is much easier, but all my previous work was done for muliple phones, We actually quite a bit of free internal space that isn't used by anything. I'm looking at either repartitioning or just using existing partitions that we already have.
I might return to making an EVO specific script after I get this one going.

When will we see App2SD built into roms?

Coming from an EVO4G, I've been pretty used to App2SD script being built into the roms and being able to load all my apps on sd for more space. When would we be seeing this on Evo3D? I realized that the custom recovery after S-off, I don't see an Partition SD type setting.

IMO the EVO 3d already has more than enough built-in space for apps

Why?
The internal memory along with stock Apps2sd should be good enough.
I couldn't imagine needing it.
Just move apps to your sd card that aren't there by default in the settings

not the same thing, the built in one I have found does not work as well as the dt app2sd or the cm app2ext mods.
With a gig of storage and stock A2SD, you'll be fine. I never understood the hate for stock A2SD.
A2sd has one real benifit IMO. You don't have to reload everything after installing a new ROM.its all just there.

I'm really surprised at the amount of ROMS that we've gotten in such a short time. I can just imagine what it will be like 2-3 months from now.

thats not how it works... the data is saved to ext2/3/4 partition... not the entire install. if you wipe, you will still have to restore.
So here's what I do. I install TiBu, and install link2SD. I go to settings in TiBu, and make sure installs all to internal. Open up l2sd, and select ext4 (its what i use). Go into l2sd settings, and make it auto link everything. Reboot. Restore all apps with data with TiBu, and at the same time link2SD restores all...
However, I'm running into a problem with ROMs where I can't see the apps after reboot.
UPDATE:

Smartwipe utility. That is all.

This will simply wipe your BOOT, SYSTEM, DATA, and CACHE partitions quickly and effectively, for use prior to flashing a new Rom on your EVO3D.
No more, no less.
You won't lose browser bookmarks, favorites, etc. if they are kept in your android_secure folder, and you won't wear out your EMMC by unnecessarily over-erasing it.
If you don't like it, don't flash it.

lolwut? changing channel on TV will break it too?
thanks btw, quick and to the point... but for clarity... formatting or flashing will not damage anything...unless you flash a wrong radio / hboot or power down in midst of it.
i mean after flashing it 845,214,789 im sure you had it too long and it will break.

[Q] Dual Partition System like Xiaomi Phone

I saw this video on engadget explaining the dual partition the phone has.
since we have finally reached a point with the 3vo that we have enough ROM space to have 2 full AOSP roms installed, would it be possible to implement anything like this?
imagine flashing an update to a rom an instead of going into recovery and flashing a new rom (trust me i have spent a fair amount of time in recovery), you basically just boot into the 2nd partition. this also means if you get a bad flash you still have a good partition to boot to.
also apparently google uses a system pretty close to this with chromeOS. am i the only one that thinks this would be a cool idea?

I asked a similar question a few weeks ago. From what I've been told, it is doable. We need someone to take it on. The nook color has something very similar.

Where have you guys been? Have you ever heard of boot managaer? I have CM7 installed while I'm using ShowDown ROM as my daily. It allows up to 5 other custom roms to be installed and thats not including your ROM that's installed through your original recovery. Check for it in the market.
If that helped you out hit the thanx button.

It's alright atleast it means that interfaces exist it just needs to be modified to think that the 2nd partition is on nand instead of sd

I agree, Chef. I'd much rather not run a ROM from SD, ala bootmanager. I think a Nook dev would be able to quickly help us here... Someone like Divine_Madcat, or racks, or possibly even a kernel guy like verygreen. What say you?

I couldn't agree with you anymore. If we could run dual roms off of our emmc, that would be dope on a rope (this site is turning me hip ). My knowledge is limited compared to the Nook gods you just mentioned but my educated guess would be we have enough space and power (dual core) to run a sense and aosp (cm7 of course) roms on this phone. That would help in many ways.. GPS fix, 4g etc. I think if we got in contact with those guys its very doable. Getting an Evo 3d in their hands might be tough.
I have more to add to this brb.

even going between aosp and MIUI causes problems its just nice to not have to hang out in recovery after downloading a rom just a reboot and go, makes nightlies super easy, along with switching between stable and nightly
