[Q] Ext3 partition - Optimus One, P500, V General

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

[Q] apps in ext4

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?

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.

[Q] SD card change+Rom change from xpart to a2sd+ and taking over ext4?

Hey guys.
I've read some threads about moving ext4 from one SD to another, but this isn't exactly what I need.
I am currently on MIUI XJ 1.8.12 XPart rom and I want to change to 1.8.12 A2SD+ and a bigger SD card.
Changing the rom isn't the problem, but backing up my ext4 partition from the old SD is!
I used the newest ubuntu live CD(11.04 I believe) to partition the new SD card to FAT32/ext4. Everything is fine.
The SD gets recognized as it should. FAT32 and EXT4 partition mount and I can access them.
But with my old SD it doesn't work.
If I plug it in, FAT32 and EXT4 partition get recognized. FAT32 partition is named "195" and EXT4 is "userdata".
When I try to click the EXT4 it just dissappears. In the media tab it is listed, but I can't access it because I am not the owner of it/I am missing permissions/rights to access it.
I partitioned it with CWM recovery, but meanwhile I changed my recovery to RMD 1.03 (I don't think that this matters though...).
Now my questions:
1. How can I access my EXT4 partition to backup its content?
2. If I can't access it because I can't change permissions... do I really need to copy it or will it be enough to restore my apps that I backed up under xpart with MIUI Backup?
3. Is it a problem to restore a app backup done under xpart-script with a a2sd+ rom?
Thank you for reading!
you can backup your ext partition in recovery. i think you can also just open a file explorer and copy the folder /sd-ext (i havent tried this, so im not sure if this will work)
Ok, I haven't tried to backup it with recovery.
Will it then be possible to flash a new rom (a2sd+ instead of xpart) and restore only the ext partition?
I want a clean install with a2sd+ but I don't want to loose settings and savegames.
Just a small "up" for my thread.
I backed up my sd-ext partition and I could wipe right now.
Will there be any problems with restoring the ext partition on a new rom?
What will happen if I just wipe sd-ext and restore MIUI Backup?
Will sd-ext will just be "rebuilded" from the MIUI Backup?

there will only be problems if your rom does not support either your a2sd or your current ext filesystem (which is to say, does it support ext4 or does it only support ext2 or ext3?)

i believe so (please dont take my word for it as i have not done this before. however, im pretty sure it will be "rebuilt" as you have it included in your backup)
Thank you again.
Its the MIUI rom from XJ for Desire Classic with XPART script. Your ext Partition gets converted to ext4 if you install this rom.
Will there be problems with using sd-ext content from XPART after update to A2SD+?
Maybe I'll bother the dev from this rom

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.

a few questions of a2sd cm7.1 and lowmem settings

I have a few questions, if you are so nice of answering me, i almost have my target config but i have a few doubts,well i have done all of this:
I did partition from the clockworkmod and do this:
From clockwork to install partition with swap to ceiling and minimum 1024 of ext i moved to sd dtapps2sd-2.7.5.3-beta04-signed.zip in the sd enter recovery (cwm) again to go to advanced unmount system, unmount sd ext and next did install the zip
Next gone to start mobile to put in sd a2sdgui and to install, a2sdgui 0.91
Gone to the terminal and write first su and next a2sd install
Later went to a2sdgui dalvik cache on sd ext,etc.
Then I did a new backup of since I stay the system with clockwork just in case
And finally moved my copy of safety of the sd that tape-worm in my PC to the sd again
Dont now if installing the script from the recovery I have to give him to mount system and to mount sd or mount sdext or not for that in adjustments cyanogen he says to me that I do not have expansion to sorrow say to me a2sdgui that if then also I am interested in knowing ifi have to install a2sd.ext4.update.zip or from the commands spending to ext 3 and then to ext 4 from the commands, since the amon ra is not for the galaxy ace or I believe it (if you know that say to me) and 4extrecovery either.
This way i dont know if my sd turned to ext4 before installing the package, which I did was to give him to the command in terminal him a2sd convert-ext4, but clearly the whole configuration at least those those were linked of system to the sd not works, this way so then I did a restore from last backup done after install the script, other question is why when i wrote in terminal a2sd lowmem-ultimate, the change did but when reboot the phone is a2sd lowmem default? I spent hours reading forums but for the poor galaxy ace,there are not much explications of this process.
Sorry if my english is bad,is not my language
Pd finally Ive found an script that converts sd ext automatically into ext4,but i have other question in post3
jusr sharing my experience..
i'm using Grif cyanogen.
also darktremor a2sd.
my card converted into ext4 partition using my pc. using mini tool partition app which tell your partition format.
i've issue when converting from ext3 to ext4 via dta2sd.. bootloop happened..
basically cwm recovery 4.0.0.9 format my sd-ext card into ext3 not ext4... so i had to do it manually via PC.
last thing... sorry i can't understand the point of your curiosity... pardon me.
thank you. Ive found an script that converts sd ext automatically into ext4 and install a2sd auto as well its name is DT-CM7-2.7.5.2-EXT4-signed.zip. But i think that kernel overclocked cm-7.1-oc-kernel-2.6.35.7-perf-CL562111.zip of my ace not support swap because when i do a2sd check in terminal show this Swap - [ ] Partition not present or no swap support.[*] Swap does not start.
,but in a2sdgui show swap is on, and when change in this app swappines to 75 is still this value,but when reboot the phone back to a2sdgui and show 30 forever in swappines. (otherwise in a2sd check show correctly that sd is en ext4)
Do you know some kernel for s ace and cyanogenmod that support overclock and swap?
Thanks for possible reply.
anyone knows the answer of my question?? xD

I think swap is active by default if you have create it before install a2sd..

[Q] A little help for A2SD

Hello to all from Greece!
In the next days I tend to wipe all data in my phone and install the CM7.2, and I want to install a A2SD script in order to install many apps without problem. I have a class 6 memory card 4GB and I want to help me to make this done with simple instructions.
I know how to partition my card with cwm recovery, but in the past I have failed to install correctly the Darktremor Apps2SD 2.7.5.3 Beta 04 .
Thank you in advance!
I think you can use link2sd. Work with that for some time without any bug.
Download from market, run mount script and chose ext2. If fail to mount rerun script and chose another ext until you get it right. Reboot and it's done.
BTW i always mount the 2nd partition in ext3 or 4.
Thanks for your answer!
I think cwm makes by default ext4
