Do i still need to manually partition my sd card before installing custom rom? or is there any rom's which doesnt require partition of memory card? It is because my usb sd card reader is broken and i dont know of any other way in partitioning sd except mini tool wizard.
can you please advise me about this?
thanks.
I didn't partion mine when I just updated to FroyoComb v1.5 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1085607 by D4rKn3sSyS
I did the steps mentioned on my website here if that helps
@vdciii
If U R going to install ROM based on Android 2.2+ U don't have to have Ur card partitioned (and even having it could block possibility to move apps to SD)
Well ROM u will be flashing should most probably be having apps2sd natively-
HENCE NO NEED TO PARTITION ANYTHING
how about link2sd and flashing cm7?
would that affect the flashing of the rom? or is it possible?

You really got to be specific. Would what affect flashing a rom? and is what possible?

Well you'll have to disable app2sd which will be natively supported, and yeah you can use links2sd and it won't effect flashing, but I wonder is links2sd supports gingerbread on which cm7 is based????
Hi
I am rooted and CWM always aborts when doing a NAND backup because it can't find android secure !
I know it should skip it but it does not.
Anyone know what I should do to fix this in cwm ?
Should I flash a different version of CWM ? If so can anyone recommend one that will work ?

Kind of running into a similar issue. When I try to do a back up in CWM, I'm getting that it can't mount backup path (but doesn't say what that path is, and I can't seem to mount sdcard in 'Mounts and Storage'). I'm going to assume this is like the SII where I need an actual ext SD card to run backups to? Can someone confirm? At work with no ext SD card.
Try reflashing ...

The latest version of CWM-Recovery should work well, on both internal and external storage. I've tested it on numerous occasions. I have the Rogers I747M, which is effectively identical to the AT&T unit.
Use this link for the correct/latest version of CWM:

If you don't have an external sdcard, then you need to choose "backup to internal sdcard".
So, I flashed this ROM with safestrap and now I cannot mount my SD card when in CM10, although it's functional when I go back to the non safe system. I already tried to partition it, and when I do it, says "done" but nothing happends, I installed Link2SD, but it doesn't find the SD card, so it's useless.
Does anyone know what I can do?

Yes, it worked perfectly when I went back to the non safe system.
I can't format my SD.
But nevermind, I stopped using it, flashed stock ics.
Thanks anyway...
I have read a lot of forums on this topic. I wanted to root and get cm10 and join this android community, but unfortunately I went wrong somewhere. I used CMW and got CM10 working, but for some reason, it does not recognize my sd card. I tried clearing it out, formatting through recovery, and all that did was cause me to lose all my data. I did the work around with having s-on, but can't see how that can be an issue. I can't access my ext or internal storage at all, not even through my pc, I have no aps and no ability to download apps due to google market not being install. If this has already been answered, please send me the link, because I searched most forums and none of the solutions posted has worked for me.
The only thing I can do now in terms of internal or external memory would have to be in fastboot, because even with cm10 running I can't access my internal or external memory though pc.
Does cwm recognize memory? Can you mount storage to pc using cwm? You can probably format the internal that way. You really should be using twrp, cwm causes more problems then its worth

It couldn't hurt to try

Yes, thats what I'm currently using.
It's not all that unique btw, cwm has been corrupting memory cards and partitions practically since being ported.

i would not use that recovery if i was u.. it messes up your misc partition.. i would flash twrp 2.2.2 asap.. no one uses cwm recovery on the evo LTE.. it dont work correct on this phone boss
I managed to get twrp, but still the same issues, even twrp refuses to mount internal or external storage. I even partitioned SD, reflashed and still nothing.
It may be time to relock and run ruu
Maybe flashing a new custom ROM with twrp?
I thought you had lol. Try that and failing that I would fall back to ruu

I have the LG L70 running KitKat and. So I got 750mb free storage space, and while I can move an app to the SD card after install, incl. the main app of gangstar vegas, but when I run it and it tries to download the 3gb data package, it obviously says not enough space on the device internal storage. Which is true, but I have the SD card inside, how do I get the phone to download the data there? im rooted aswell if that helps is there an app that can make the phone think my external memory is my internal memory? thanks in advance

Link2sd plus will do that for you. It has an option of placing the application and/or its data on the sd. It's a paid app, but only $2 - well worth it imo.
thanks ill check it out and get back to you
its not working for me are sure it will allow me to download the additional 3gbs to the EXTERNAL sd card? instead of the internal storage wich has only 700mb's? thanks for your suggestion though this is really stomping me

OK, I should have been clearer. This is more complex than what I first described. In order to use Link2SD plus optimally, you will need to perform a few steps. You can find the reasoning behind them in the Link2SD FAQ (although a bit outdated). Here are the steps you should perform:
1. Backup your SD. This is a means of precaution only.
2. Reformat your SD drive to add a second ext3/ext4 partition (no need to wipe the data or anything like that). Its size should be about 10% of the total SD size. You can do it with MiniTool Partition Wizard. Make sure that the new partition is primary and not logical.
3. Reinstall Link2SD plus in order for it to recognize the new SD layout. May need to reboot here.
4. From Link2SD plus, choose your game. Tick all Link options, especially the link data option.
This will fool the game to think that its data is located on the internal storage, but it's really on the SD. In this case, the 3GB data should now be downloaded to SD.

@TheRealAlware - why don't you try PiggyFlooper's modules. I didn't know any of them, and it seems that the first one may suit your needs.
If they don't help you, I can give you a step by step guide on how to use Link2SD plus. Do you have an SD reader? If so, some of the steps can be easier.

LOL yeah. Although I'm a big android fan, this specific issue (the whole dealing with external SD that is) is a weak spot which android keeps failing to address throughout its releases. I know where it's coming from (basef on linux) but it's still something that should have gotten a proper creative solution by now.
I have L7 II and I used FolderMount on obb of games like FIFA 14 and it worked fine,you should try it

No problem mate. It's best for you to try all the methods posted here by other people before trying Link2SD plus. If they work, it'll save you much hassle. I've tried to think of a guide for you, and it figured to me that the only way for it to work is if you either get an SD card reader or alternatively another device that allows you to mount the SD in a USB MSC (mass storage class) mode, as AFAIK LG stock devices only allow MTP mode, something that won't allow you to format a partition using your PC.

i dont think that's for me piggies module i mean it's not saying anything about downloading the additional app data onto the sd card its just gonna let me move the obbs to the sd card i've been thinking maybe its best if instead of looking for a way to download the additional data to the sd card perhaps i should just look into how to make my phone think the sd card is the internal and the internal is the external that would solve all my problems and way to do that? and again sorry for my tardiness work has kept me busy lol

What you said is exactly what link2sd plus does. Alas, a part of the sd should be formatted to ext3 for this purpose.
Do you happen to have CWM installed?

Yes, CWM is Clockwork Mod - Android's recovery program. Reason I asked is that it has a built-in ability to partition your SD, something that'll ease things up.
And don't feel bad about not partitioning theSD - this shouldn't be done in the vast majority of the cases, only in when you wanna use apps like Link2SD or others that need to push Android to the limit...
ok ill look into that today and get back at you also is it possible to sideload an app directly on to your external sd? could that work and let me side step alot of trouble thanks

I guess it's possible, but I don't know how to do it...
Regarding Link2SD plus guide, you'll need one of the following two:
1. CWM on your device
2. A card reader, or another phone that allows you to mount the SD as MSC (like Disk On Key - in windows it'll show as an additional drive)

yeah i dont have a card reader and i dont know anybody that has one neither i wish i would did more research before i made the leap from ios to android i thought android was more accessible open and easier to deal with i assumed that since you had an sd card slot having a ton of internal space wasn't critical like it is on ios because you could buy memory i had no clue how wrong i was and since i got this phone and ive noticed something odd gl to sd seems to be doing what i want but only for on app assassins creed black flags companion app runs fine when i use gl to sd the additional data downloaded on my external sd and when i try to run the app without gl to sd it tries to download the additional files on my internal sd are you familiar with that app and how to get it to work with other apps like gangstar vegas? thanks man for your and everybody eles help
