First of all I want to say hello
I've got some problems with partitioning sd card.
I'm owner of U20i, 8 GB ADATA class 10 card and I've got MiniCM7Pro v21 installed on my phone (through cwm v3.2.0.0-r5). Rom is working correctly.
I wanted to have more space for apps and more ram. I followed this tut:
tinyurl: l2kpno (I can't paste link because I'm new.)
Everything seems to be good but after reboot phone report card as not formatted. So I tried to partition card through cwm - this same effect. When I plug card into reader I can copy files etc. also I checked card surface - no read errors.
Am I doing something wrong Please help me.
Hi
I had the same problem with this rom, cant make it work.
But seems that titoms found a solution.
Check it here.
Hope this helps.
Thx for reply.
After deleting swap and resizing ext to free space phone recognize card and ext also works. But there is one problem: I wanted swap.
If it is problem only with this rom maybe I should try another one, original CM7 for example?
U r welcome.
Sure, there's a lot of roms for u to try. U should pick the one that fits ur needs.
I'm not an expert, but, why do u need swap?
I want to have more ram, for games.
EDIT:
Because installing original cm is quite complicated thing I decided to install GinTonic.SE by slade87.
So I did system, cache and data format; full wipe; cache wipe; dalvik cache wipe; battery stats wipe then I installed modules for gintonic and at the end gintonic.
After reboot phone freeze at Sony Ericsson text. Every time. Why? What should I do now?
EDIT2:
OK. I got back to stock se rom by flashing phone with seus. Then I rooted, installed cwm and made that 3 partitions on sdcard (fat32, ext2, linux-swap). After that I wiped all things (except sdcard and sd-ext), rebooted and installed gintonic. After reboot gintonic started but all time ADW is giving errors about force-closing and card is reported as blank. I installed modules but it didn't do anything. So this is not only with MiniCM7 (swap) problem.
Can I even have a swap partition? And why GinTonic is giving ADW errors (even without sdcard plugged into the phone)?
Ok.
I have GinTonic in my device. I also had that problem with partitions in this rom. After many attempts, I decided to create de partitions with Linux gparted (before i was using minitool partition magic). Then reflashed rom, and the problem was fixed. You should try that.
The only difference between me and u, is that I don't use a swap partition, just Fat32 and ext2. But for what I've read in the rom's thread many users have swap partition working with this rom.
For the adw problem, just install launcher pro and adw should start working. Why? I don't know XD. I installed go launcher and uninstalled the other 2 launchers.
Hope this helps.
Repartitioned through gparted and... "blank sd card".
I can't install launcher pro because adb is giving errors all time and I can't do anything.
I think I will **** this swap and go back to MiniCM.
Anyway thanks for answering.
U r welcome.
Roms unfortunately behave differently from one device to another.
If you want to save memory, I recommend using autokiller memory optimizer and autorun manager.

Here's a simple guide/solution if anyone who have problems with their microsdcard
1.Blank Sdcard notification
If u have partition on ur sdcard and u switch from 2.1 to 2.2, u need to reformat the card. Because 2.2 does not need the 2nd partition.
When u had partition your sdcard on 2.1 rom and u get blank notification, please do a reboot. it will eliminate the meassge.
ps:i do recommend using ext2 as 2nd partition and use link2sd as u can manually select the apps, dalvik-cache files and the libs files
2.Unrecognised, Failed to read sdcard, damage sdcard and etc
Required a laptop/computer assistance
Please try this method before you try anything else. usually this will solve all the problem you facing
1.Go to my computer and right click on your sdcard icon
2.Select properties and then click on the Tools tab
3.Click on error checking/check now
4.Remember to tick on the automatic fix and then click start
this will required 10 to 20 minute, depending on the size of your sdcard.
3.Last resort
Format your sdcard using your x10 or pc.
if both method cant be using, re-partition your sdcard using MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition 6.0. set it as primary and using FAT32
Sdcard reading and writing speed slow?
For non-rooted and rooted user
Mount your sdcard from your pc and use this Defraggler and defrag your sdcard. credit to 28spawn
For rooted user only
go to this thread increase SD card performance(new Flashable zips), credit to KInG GaME
PS:This troubleshooting method does not 100% will work but since it works for me most of the time, so i wanted to share out. Hope I wont offend anyone.
Mod, if this thread is useless, please delete it and sorry for the trouble.
Thanks for the thread. Tried it on my sd card because it shows blank sd card after I partitioned it into fat32 and ext3 for miui cobrato rom but it didn't work. Nice share anyway.
opps.. thanks for replying n reminding me. i forget to put tis. after u partition your card, did u reboot? btw, there no nd to do partition for 2.2 onwards

Nope, I only put in the partitioned sd card into the phone and started it. I partitioned using parted magic. But for MIUI roms, it's needed to partition into ext3 for the ap2sd+ to work.
same problem here. i just can't seem to get the sd card to work after flashing custom 2.2 or 2.3 roms. but the sd card work just fine on any custom 2.1 roms.
i'm currently on ThGo v1.5.5e. this rom works great.
I'm using EWjet 2.3.4x. I plugged the sdcard into my pc, used mini partition tool to reduce the size of fat32 partition and making 800mb of unallocated space at the end of disk. Then I created a new partition (primary ext3) of 800mb, applied and removed the sdcard from pc.
When I plug it on x10 it says that my sdcard is empty.
I already tried to reboot twice and it keeping saying that is empty.
Link2SD says that I don't have a second partition, but I created a 800mb ext3 partition.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

btw, i would suggest u try out ex2 partition because its more common for our phone to recognize it.
sorry for late reply. i tot this thread is dead. thinking wanna ask mod to delete it
well, i tried formating it to fat32 through windows and it worked. but what boggles me is that only some 2.3 roms can detect my sd card. thgo and ewjet works just fine. any miui roms and others doesn't seem to find the sd card. it just says sd card not present or unmounted sd card.
well, i had never tried using any miui rom b4 but from what i read, its best after flashing the miui rom, it it recommended to format the sdcard
I have recently upgrade to android 2.3.3 and am using EWJET as a rom.
I cannot access the SD once Android OS has booted. All apps and the system/settings says SD Card isn't mounted. Tried multiple installs, nothing works.
All 2.1/2.2 Roms are fine.
If i tap back during start-up and access xrecovery I have normal access to the SDcard and can flash packages etc. So the phone is able to access the card ok.
My SD card is the 8gb that came with the phone and isnt partitioned in anyway.
However in the past I did have it partitioned, but not now. Incase I am installing 2.3.3 and the rom wrong, ill tell you my steps.
Factory Firmware 2.1 flashed
rooted, busybox and recovery installed
Flashed X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_only_kernel_baseband
then install the EWJET rom as per his instructions..
I pray I am only doing the above steps wrong as I desperately want the SD working on 2.3.3.
Any help would be appreciated.

you try pulling it out and blowing on it like an old nes game...
jk smiles but have you tried perhaps throwing the sd into a computer and just formatting with different cluster sizes or in general formatting the card. Might need to use an adapter.
Happen the same thing to me but with wolfbreaks rom... some people told me to re-flash the rom but it didnt work. The funny thing is the the sd card will work on any other device, and any other sd card will work on the phone... havent try re-formatting the card cauze i dont have the adapter but it should work

you might want to get an adapter. A while back i tried setting up a sd-ext partition on a 4gig card and long story short the only way i was able to run a format that gave me back the 4gigs was throwing it into an adapter
Had the same thing when I updated with stock-2.3.3.... At the time I had it partitioned in 2 partitions...
I connected the phone then with my pc, and there it was, alive and well.... So I backed up the entire card, that is, the first partition, where all my data were; I powered off the phone, took it out, found a adapter, deleted the 2nd partition with Partition Wizard Home Edition Minitool, made the sd-card 1 partition only, formatted that partition, and then I copied all my backed-up data back to the card
Then I put the card back in the phone, booted and voila: the card was recognized again by 2.3.3....! and now it functions ok!
Hope this helps, greetz, good luck,

formatting did not help
Anything new on this?
for me it is a little different. The card that came with the phone works fine with the GB update, the thing is that I got another phone, this one came with a 4 Gb card so I took the one in the x10 with all my pics and put it in my new phone and put the other new card in the x10 but it doesn't recognize it...
I've tried with 2 different cards, in xRec i can read it, back up, etc, but once in android its like there's nothing there. Tried formatting it with no results....
What could it be that it reads the original x10 card and no other?
Ive got no idea, but its annoying. Im gonna have to go back to 2.1 which sucks.
We need to some how figure out whats causing this. Ive tried everything.
2.3 seems to be the problem.

I have 2.3 and the card that originally came with the phone (16Gb SDHT) works fine, the thing is that it doesn't read any other card.

(" * " is the number of your drive. be carefull do not choice your hard drive number which is commonly 0)
clean
create partition primary
assign
format fs fat quick
exit
Tested and work fine on windows 8 (but should work on 7, 8.1, 10)
Thanks Hope i help even 6 years later !! cheers
How to Move apps from Phone memory to SD in Android 2.1
in Xperia X10
My phone is rooted.
any help????
Your options would be scripts like DarkTremor or (the slightly more user-friendly) Link2SD.
But be warned: both are not 100% stable... I've finally removed DarkTremor after a lot of issues: How about upgrading to a custom ROM instead?
Hi.
I dont want to start new topic so I use this one to describe my problem.
I read a lot of webs to find solution but here's comes some problems with that.
I've got Samsung Gio S5560 and 4GB SD card. After creating 2 primary partitions FAT32 and ext2 link2sd says that "no space left on device" and i cannot do anything. Even when I use 2GB card or create partition f.e. ext3 it doesn't works.
Can anyone help with that ?
Sorry for my english. I hope is understandable
Of course phone had been rooted.
Android 2.2.1
Regards.
I'm not sure how these scripts determine which partition to use... have you tried partitioning through ClockworkRecovery? Maybe they need the partitions in a certain order or (more likely) some other requirement. CR would very likely take any such requirements into account.
P.S. Your English sounds fine to me, but this doesn't come from a native speaker either, so...
I used to create partitions MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition. On YT there ale some tutorials so I used them. At the beginning I create FAT32 and then ext2. Maybe at the morning I try some new configs with my SD card.
Yesterday I helped my gf to root her phone. Because she would like to keep her stock ROM and not wanting to use stock ROM, I used CF-Root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158197) to root the phone.
After that, I install DT A2SD (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715940) and run it on stock rom. I moved dalvik cache and data to sd card. After rebooting, the phone slows down alot. Media scanning took few minutes and the phone performs laggy. So, I thought moving dalvik cache to sd card is not a good idea, i moved it back to internal. The result is still the same. I moved back the data too to internal. And still, laggy and media scanning took very long.
Oh, I partitioned the sd card with CWM. 1gb for partition
Can anyone guide me?
TL; DR ver.
1) Gf wants to keep stock ROM and move data to SD card since apps are taking up spaces
2) So, CF-rooted it and installed dt a2sd, moved dalvik n data to sd.
3) Phone performance quite slow and took long time for sd card finish scanning.
4) Moved back dalvik n data to internal, doesnt help at all..
DXKPB 2.3.4
There's a Tweak manager included from Cf-root, but I dont know whether I should meddle with it.
Is there anyway to remove the lag?
the class rating of your sd card is too low ie too slow.
what is the speed of the sdcard? higher class means higher read/write speed eg class 6 is faster than class 4
btw install and use this to completely disable media scanning when boot and when unmount device from pc. reopen the app when u wanna trigger media scan. that app helps me alot by making boot much, much faster because media scanning is disable
Her sd card class : 4
Sometimes running some apps or playing music, the loading time is long. =\
Funny that Im running on cm7 kang + dt a2sd with sd card class only 2 and I dont experience similar problem.
Hmmm anything could be possible then e.g. too many apps attempting to startup together during bootup. One can only tell by using an app like Autostarts.
I have tried using an sd-ext partition when i was on the rfs file system and things weren't slow to make me frustrated but certainly no complaints appreciating the speed increase after changing the file system to ext4 overall.
I did a quick search and found this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344542
Saw your link there to convert rfs file sys to ext4. But before that, how do I check my stock rom is rfs type? Just wanna take precaution not to brick the phone..
if its stock, its sure is rfs.

i used ext4manager from ketut in his CF Root thread. Since you are on CF Root kernel, it will show you whether you are on rfs or ext4. this is actually a pointless exercise cos as anonymous pointed out, it is almost confirmed for sure that you are on rfs. Anyway this ext4manager allow you to do an one click conversion to ext4 file system too. i think that should interest you even more.
ok, so i have installed ketut's modified app and tried that but it seems like ext4 manager is showing no ext4 partitions found. Then I tried CF's original ext4 manager app. This time, it shows no ext4 part found but the "convert rfs to ext4" is clickable. after clicking it, it rebooted into CWM and failed to convert it. Everything happened too fast on CWM screen. I saw "installation aborted".
edit: it also shows "CF kernel not found"
edit 2: I reinstalled ketut's app. and this time it works. Successfully converted to ext4. But it does not improve the performance. Still very slow and laggy when running apps.
why dont you install autostarts and expand event called after startup to see how many apps are jostling to startup?

well because I dont experience such similar problem before rooting and installing dt a2sd. If there are 20 apps jostling to start up without problem before, I wonder what's the prob that caused the lag and slow prob after root and a2sd since they are the same 20 apps earlier
Disabled some apps. Prob still persists.
I think sd partition via CWM is buggy. Faced similar prob. I'm gonna try format the sd card and repartition it via Minitool
ok for me i did my partition not via CWM. I am going to hazard a guess and say that you created an ext3 sd-ext partition in CWM. As far as i know, CWM makes ext3 partitions.
try using mini tools and inform us of your progress.
Okay. So I partitioned 1st as FAT32 and 2nd as ext4. Both also Primary. Now ended up bootlooping. -.- gah. dont know what's wrong with it.
edit: wth.. The phone auto switch back on even I off it via CWM.

If it doesn't work , try partitioning using CWM .
For that power off in CWM , it's bugged

I already partitioned that at first. I think it's not compatible and makes things slow?
Hi! guys i decided to do an ext 4 with mini tools and when i hit apply it shut s down my LT and started to do the partitioning, when it was done my F:\ disappeared now i m getting dreaded code 10 error in my device manager and the worst part was when i inserted the sd into the ph it could'nt read the card luckily i could get CWM to reformat and partition as it was a new 16gig. I had to reinstall my rom again and had it sent via BT to the phone so i could flash and i had to do it twice as the rom i was using had a flash over update. Right now i m still figuring how to get over the code 10, tried disabling,uninstalling,update software drivers u name it. Right now i m waiting for someone to sent me an adaptor could be it is corrupted as well. sigh!!
If your sdcard is like this , use Gparted to rewrite the partition table

Hi,
Some months ago I flashed CM7.1 with no problems, apart from a kind of slow GPS.
But, last week my Legend refused to see my SD card. Bought a new one, 4Gb, and partioned it with MiniTool, 3.5 Gb FAT32 and 512Mb ext3. After normal boot my Legend did not see the SD card. Partioned it in Recovery mode, 512Mb ext2/3, where my Legend saw the SD card. I use a2ext and Go Launcher.
Since I use a2ext, 1 out of 4 times I reboot my Legend, my Legend wants me to setup Android again. Meaning I have to enter the language and Google account to use it. After that, my widgets do not load properly, but everything else works. I can use all apps and replace the widgets. So after 10 minutes my phone is back to normal again, but it is a pain in the *ss recreating the normal things again.
Does anybody know what is the problem here?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Regards, Wim.
Try wiping/data factory reset, wiping/cahe, advance > wipe dalvik cahce, mounts and storage > format/system reinstall your CM7.1 and boot up, then put your SD card in.
Thanks, I will give that a try. My apps are on ext on SD, if I reinstall CM, can I use Titanium Backup to restore my apps and data? Haven't done this before...
Regards, Wim.
There were two versions of Go Launcher Ex installed on my phone. Removing the old version solved the problem.
