my sd card is 4gb, why was detected only 800 mb or same to the large size of partition my sd card
why about my problem..??
This happens if I use the rom sense, but normal when using cyanogen rom
sorry for my bad english...
I may not know much but it is advised to wipe data/cache before flashing a rom. Also, if you are using xtrSense, I presume you are; since it has App2Sd implemented, I think it only recognizes the sd-extension. I think that's the issue, though, keep this in mind when flash a rom wipe data/cache; to avoid overlapping consistencies of issues.
Hope this helped
Subsequently, I am not very adept in these things, and I am only helping you from my knowledge I perceive.

Heya,
Just making sure that its safe to do? I was planning on formatting the INTERNAL SD using android itself (un-mounting then formatting) then SBF flashing and starting fresh..
Just thought I'd ask someone smart before doing things just to make sure I'm not making an idiotic mistake.
Thanks,

I don't recall on which of the Atrix forums but it seems like the title of the thread was something to do with touch screen problems. If I recall correctly, the touch screen will not work correctly if the internal sd card is formatted. And I don't think a fix has been figured out.
Well it must have been with cwm recovery because I formatted with android and it worked out fine. Thanks for the warning though

Hey Dark just wondering if you had to sbf flash after formatting the internal memory, or does the phone work without any issues after formatting??
Hey I would assume it worked without issues however I formatted the internal storage while in android, remounted it without issues and had it working without issues but then turned the phone off and SBF flashed back to stock (as I was planning too originally and wanted to format the SD card to remove the app data before SBF flashing)
I assume it would have kept working without issues but would have deleted my app data such as save games, pictures, music and login info for apps like xda
Thanks. Ya no problems.
The touch screen problem was due to partitioning the internal sd... and unfortunately no one knows how to fix it. Im still screwed.
Hi, i have been searching but have been unable to find some answers..
Completely new to this,before i start.
I installed urukdroid 1.5 using the easy install method on my archos 101.
1. When using urukdroid it is so slow and unresponsive, from what i have read this is probably because i have a slow cheap sd card, sound about right??
2. So if i want to uninstall ud from my card am i best using the recovery menu option (and would that just wipe all my stuff) or (as i saw in a different post) format the sd card on a pc and copy my stuff back on to it?? unsure of what is actually on the card and whats on the archos as far as uninstall goes. and what happens to the partitions
2.1. Secondly, why do people put ud on a sd card instead of the internal memory? (remember noob alert!!) it seems like you limit yourself to only using one sd card and the possibility of it running really slow.
3. So if i want to put it on my internal memory - should i do it? what are the pitfalls? will it wipe all my data like it did on the sd card? (lucky i took a backup eh!)
4. And, last question, i promise, is urukdroid really that much faster once you overclock and get it all running nicely?? for example i tried to run shadow gun on the stock 101 and it tried hard but didnt quite get there, would this run ok under ud? or am i completely missing the point of ud (very possible)
Thank you all for any help/answers.

I also just installed Uruk 1.5 on my A70 last night and have updated to 1.6RC2 then 1.6RC4. I used advanced install and let it do its thing to install to internal memory. I can see maybe a slight improvement over the stock ROM but I now have a problem where I can't install any apps due to lack of space. This method did not wipe all my data and while still on 1.5 I was able to find my backed up apps and re-installed a few. You will still have your original ROM to fall back on. Unfortunately I have a feeling that anyone knowledgeable will not be reading these posts and newbies cant post in the developer's thread where the meat of the conversation is taking place. Maybe we'll get lucky.
Hi,
Yes i agree, anyone who would know the answers prob doesnt read these. Is it possible to bump it up a bit in anyway??

1. If you don't have a verrrry fast sd card ii is alot slower then internal, esp. as the controller is also slower on sd then on the internal .
2. If you remove the sd card, and flash the Urukdroid initram and zimage you can install everything on internal.
The easyinstaller allwas to resize your internal memory so that the original Android and Data stays intact.
2.1. UrukDroid started on sd because it is easier to not do something wrong instead on the internal. Since 0.7 it is stable eough to allways go to internal.
3. Yes internal is the best way, and for erasing read 2.
4. No it is not much faster, how could it be?
Std archos runs with 1GHz and Uruk sometimes up to 1.2GHz ( most of us can't get over 1.1 ) so to be able to play really demanding games it is the wrong tablet.
And yes you are completely missing the point.
UD and every ROM for other devices are there to give you more freedom, like root or the way bigger appspace ( std archos has 300MB ), OS upgrade ( when CM7 or CM9 are done for ex) or other designes ( like MIUI).
My A70 runs much better since I changed to Urukdroid. Less laggy and generally faster. Very few crashes. The ext4 filesytem is much faster than Fat32 and I think that compcache and swap also help a lot.

Hi Fzelle,
Thanks for your help, cleared stuff up.
Like i said, i thought i might be missing the point of it, i did wonder how much difference overclocking it to 1.2Ghz and the UD system would make. but i can see the point of having a bigger app area, i had the warning of running out of space.
Just to check though, to uninstall it from my sd card you said see 2. but it wasnt clear what that meant. should i go to the recovery boot screen and delete it there or just format my sd card? and i have now got a rootfs.img on my internal storage, is this normal??
Thanks again.
Cheers Lee...
Rootfs.img comes from the SDE installation, as you have installed Angstrom Linux with that.
If you don't plan to use that, you can erase that or save it to your computer.
If you shut down the tab and remove the sd, install the zimage and initram of uruk you will be asked to install again.
Use advanced and install on internal.
Hi All,
I have flashed CM7 & now I am wondering, is there any reason to partiton SD card. If yes, then what is the recommended partiton size & an app for partiotioning. I have a 2 GB card. Also, will the card will be recognized by PC if I turn mass storage ON.

Been wondering the same thing. I personally have been flashing different ROMs, Kernels, etc for some time now and I've never bothered to do it, and I've never had trouble. From my understanding I think it helps with using apps2sd instead of in system memory, I'm not sure about this at all though. However, I've personally never needed to do this, my phone's memory has been sufficient for me.
I will say never having done this before, and never using a titanium backup or mybackup root, I've had absolutely no trouble with my various roms performance, battery life, what have you. I'm sure if anyone else responds I'll get chewed out for being a noob about this but it is what it is. I keep everything backed up on the good ole computer.
For the average user, no, there is no reason to partition the SD card.
sd card partitions is used to increase the internal storage. applied with some script.
very useful for device with low internal memory.

Have there been any troubles with the internal install of cm7 or is it just the SD card install.
That's the main issue that could "brick" it. Since it is the first release, there may be more issues. I've seen some crashes using Flixster, some hanging after sleep, and a need to reboot because wifi quits working.
It's usable but will definitely get better. Use caution with sdcards on this first release.
I believe it's actually the internal version that issue problem, not the SD card version.

It is actually BOTH versions. It doesn't matter if you are running off Internal or SD
..... DO NOT FORMAT YOUR SD CARD......
The issue seems to be that ANY type of format command issued from within the BETA CM7 actually formats the internal partitions thus rendering the device unable to boot.
There has been a fix posted but you don't want to go down that road unless absolutely necessary.

Thank you for the warning
thanks for the replies. I went back to the rooted stock for now even though I haven't had any problems with this rom. I just didn't want to brick my nt. At least we know that we can have custom roms now.

Hello,
I have damaged my internal sdcard 3 times, here's a solution that works every time.
It happens not to have access to this internal sdcard. This situation occurs only rarely, but can happen during a flash roms, whose reasons are still obscure.
The creation of a EXT partition on storage, does not work but can damage and will become unreadable on most roms.
But there may be a relatively simple solution :
Sufficient as it reinstall a CyanogenMod 7, for example of 15/11/11.
Why?
This rom detects that the internal storage is damaged, announce in its notifications and requests formatting.
It sufficient as to press such notice and to validate the formatting to regain its internal storage;-).
Sorry for my English.
Daveheart.
Can you please point me to thr direction of the files, I cant find them.

Hi, all roms are provided, including the one you need CM7 15/11, to find the internal sd, on this wiki.
