Formatting SD card? Ext3 - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I have had my memory card get corrupted twice here recently, probably within two weeks. It caused me to have to reformat my SD card entirely. I was wondering if I format the SD card to be Ext3 completely, would I still be able to save everything on it as usual? I know I won't be able to use it on a windows machine, but I don't really care about that. I am just wondering if the phone needs it to be formatted to Fat32. I don't use A2SD, compcache, swap, or anything else. Just storage.

It might work if u make changes in init.rc to specify the file system type when it mounts it on boot up...

Hmm, well I may have to give that a try. Does the int.rc already specify the existing file system (just so I can find it easier, or will I have to create something new)?
I had a spare micro SD card laying around and formatted it to Ext3. None of the apps I had recognized it.

[HELP]Apps/Data on SD: Switching to new SD card

Is it possible if I installed apps/data on SD card to switch to another card and install apps/data on it? I removed my current card and my phone stopped working. I will take help from anyone who has it.
if you want to, you should be able to copy everything to a backup folder and upload to another sd card. you need to do this in linux cause windows does not natively read ext2 partitions. shut down your phone, remove the micro sd card, put in your computer, copy everything to the backup folder, then re-partition your new (hopefully bigger) micro sd card. put back in the phone and boot it up. i have never tried this, but it should work, just as long as you have the ext2 partition the system can read from. good luck.
I agree fully with corp769. In addition, two important things to remember are:
* ext2 must be the second (primary) partition
* you must preserve UNIX access permissions by copying apps and data directories with cp -rp ! That's the reason apps on SD doesn't work without repartitioning.
* you must use a separate card reader, you cannot do this while the card is plugged into your G1. (Unless you can do some fancy mounting/unmounting stuff on the phone, that is. It's certainly easier and safer to use a card reader).
I too have never tried this, but it should work.

i did this on linux from a 2G card to a new 8G card .. my partitions are named so i utilize naming to distinguish one partition from the other:
make two folders on your linux desktop .. "SDD1" and "SDD2" .. the FAT32(sdd1) can be click-and-drag to the desktop folder .. the EXT2(sdd2) needs to be run inside Terminal to retain the permissions (unless someone know a better way)
ie: sudo cp -a /media/sdd2/* /home/LucidREM/Desktop/SDD2
then switch cards
ie: sudo cp -a /home/LucidREM/Desktop/SDD2/* /media/sdd2
obviously substitute your name for mine unless you call yourself "LucidREM"
In the exact same process when you have an error nfs :
In linux with the card reader
unmount both vfat and ext2 partitions and type :
fsck -p /dev/yourext2partition.
fsck.vfat -p /dev/yourfatpartition
that's how I manage to recover 2 MicroSD card
If you want to go the GUI route - go grab a copy of the GParted Live distribution. Put that on bootable media (whatever your case may be, USB or CD/DVD) then boot into GParted and use the GUI to copy and paste the partitions over. GParted will do a consistency check and fix any errors in both partitions first, then copy over into the new SD card.
Thanks a lot for the help everyone. I will give this a shot when I get home. Appreciate all the quick responses.
no prob man, just let us know if it works for you or not.
If you don't have linux, is there a program for windows or mac I can use to do this? Thanks

Yes download Wubi (which is like Linux in a box, and can be installed in like 10 minutes and ready to use and removed like a normal program) or download Paragon Partition Manager 9 Trial Version, it must be version 9 not 10. I recommend Wubi however, much easier, and who knows, you might fall in love with it like I did.
I tried the LucidREM instructions and it is looping on startup.
Is there a different way to do this?
Simplest Method
Just in case people still want to know how to change SD cards (ext partition and all), which I suspect will happen a lot since the 16GB cards are going to start dropping in price soon, here's the simplest and best way I know how to do it. I have done this a bunch of times without any issues. I've even used this to go from a G1 to a myTouch (with minor compatibility changes, of course). But simply changing/upgrading SD cards is a breeze.
First thing's first. You will need bart.sh which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562292. If you are using a myTouch or simply don't want to bother typing commands, use Amon_RA's wonderful recovery menus with bart.sh already built in. The Nexus One version can be found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611829) but there are links to the recovery menus for the G1, myTouch, Hero, etc. on that page.
You will need to be familiar with how bart.sh works and this is way beyond this post. There is a ton of information on the bart.sh thread. So here are the steps that need to be done.
1) Run bart.sh, either in recovery console or via recovery menu, to backup your entire ext2/3/4 partition (as well as nandroid for simplicity).
2) Back up the fat32 portion of your SD card as you normally would by mounting your SD card to your computer. Make sure that this includes the new bart.sh backup which should be located in the bart folder in the root of you SD card.
3) Partition your new SD card using the method of your choice. Amon_RA's recovery menus have an easy and painless method for this but you can use parted or any other method you choose. If you use your device to partition your new SD card do NOT boot your phone after you partition the card. You will want to finish Step 4 first. Amon_RA's recovery allows you to mount your SD card from recovery to help you complete Step 4 if you do not have a SD card reader.
4) Using Amon_RA's recovery menu or an SD card reader copy the fat32 partition, which includes your bart.sh backup, from your PC to the fat32 partition of your newly partitioned SD card. From the recovery menu, restore your bart.sh backup.
5) Voila. You now have all of your partitions moved to a new SD card.
This process can be simplified into one sentence. Do a bart.sh backup and restore it to the new SD making sure the SD card has the proper partitions and that you don't forget about the fat32 partition. The above is just a list showing the proper order so that you don't lose any data during the process.

Just to make sure.

The swapper setting for it to not get corrupted when mounted is
sytem/sd/swap.swp
Right Because im going to mount my G1 via usb and want to make sure i dont corrupt my sd
/system/sd/swap.swp ... Yeah, that's it. Or do a swap partition (see my sig)

you will not corrupt you sd card with swapper on your fat32 partition. the corrupted partition message is a false positive if you restart the phone all is well. i dealt with that message for 3 weeks before moving to the ext3 on the sdcard cause i was tired of restarting my phone to get rid of the message. now i use linux-swap partition it's a whole lot better. if your using jac 2.63 that built in to the rom you just have to create the swap partition. but having the swap on the fat32 will not corrupt your card

Formatting SD Card containing CWR

Installed CWR on an 8 GB SD Card. The card only used about 40 MB and the rest is hidden. Is there any tool I can use to reformat the SD card to get my full space back? If I try with Windows, I can only see the 40 MB partition. Under My Computer/Manage/Disk Management, I can see all the partitions, but cannot make any changes.

I'm on the original 1.1.0 OS, Rooted and Overclocked, and this worked for me...
Put the card back in your Nook. Then go to Settings/Device Info/SD Card. Once there tap on Unmount SD Card and then Format SD Card. That should get you your full capacity back.
BUT! It will completely erase the card.
Do you want to keep CWR or erase it?
In any event, get Minitools Partition Wizard. If you want to preserve the existing CWR, resize the partition. If you don't, delete and recreate a partition that uses the whole card.
EDit: all good now only question is about LCD density does anyone know how i would be able to set it to a certain thing and save it after i reboot instead of having to reset it each and every time

[Q] Swap Area / EXT2 partitions - Help needed.

Hello, I'm hoping someone can answer a few questions I have regarding the format of the SD Card for the Android system. - Apologies if this has already been explained on this forum, I did a search but didn't find anything too useful that answered my questions.
(I have knowledge of the linux file-system and swap drives, just unsure of the benifits of this for android).
Currently using a 16GB SanDisk Class4 SD Card.
I'm aware that you can format the SD Card to use as a swap-drive and for use of ext2 file-system.
While searching for info on this I found the following xda link which simply explains how to do this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning
My questions are:
1. What are the benifits of having the ext2 file-system? (Would apps stored on SD Card run faster etc?)
2. Do I need to keep a FAT32 partition (as opposed to just having a swap and ext2 partitions without any FAT partition).
3. Does the swap drive greatly improve performance. And is this worth doing on a Class4 SD Card?
Thanks in advance!
Hi.
at the first I must say swat will decrease SD card life.
i recommond you to create EXT3 or EXT4 partition.
1)one of the benefit of EXT partition is your phone storage will not full and its help your phone performance.
2)yes.of course you should have fat32 partition for eg:music-movies...and other files.
3)yes.swap is a very good.and it helps your phone ram.eg:when you play plants vs zombie at the first screen game will exit because of ram and swap will use like ram and its good for gaming.
Thanks for the reply, much apprecaited.
Are you sure I need a FAT32 partition though? Videos, music etc etc can all be saved to ext2/3/4 on a linux OS so I just assumed I could just do away with FAT32 all together?
Is the following just not the same as using an App2SD app?
"1)one of the benefit of EXT partition is your phone storage will not full and its help your phone performance."
Sorry for being a bit fussy but I'd like to fully understand what the Ext/2/3/4 partition is actually used for. Is it just used purely for storage?
Thanks again!
In a short summary (and assuming you are using a Kernel and ROM supporting the features) ...
- "Swap" on a swap partition has its own own "filesystem". The data structures are actually created by "mkswap" and the partition is not directly accessible by the user. If your phone runs low on physical memory unused parts of the memory will be swapped out into the virtual memory to make room for other apps.
Note that this is no "magically increase your RAM" solution. Once swapping occurs it actually slows down the system as the swapped out memory regions need to be copied back into physical memory, sooner or later. It may only help to run "RAM hungry" applications.
- "SD-Ext" is a, most likely, ext2 formatted partition to where Apps you move to the SD (either by Android or App2SD) will go. This increases the amount of apps you can possibly install, but doesn't resolve the problem that apps having widgets or apps that are started during Android boot-up need to reside in the internal phone memory.
- The /sdcard partition where all your user data is being stored should be kept FAT32 (for the simple reason of making a backup of your data by slapping the card into card reader easier - Windows can't read Linux filesystems by default). Some ROMs will allow you to format /sdcard ext3 or ext4 ... the advantage is that ext3/4 (if the mount options are correctly set) may perform a lot better than FAT32, though your mileage may vary.
Roger? ...or do is something still unclear?
Many thanks B.Jay - I'll hit the thanks button after I post this reply! You cleared up all my questions, but just going back to the FAT32 partition;
I use linux as my main OS, so accessing the EXT format partition wouldn't be a problem; Do you know if all ROMs would work without a FAT32 partition and replace it with EXT2/3/4 partition? If you're unsure I can always find out by formatting and loading a rom.
Thanks again, you've been most helpful!

Linux would, of course, be able to mount a ext partition (even on a SD card put into a card reader).
As for the ROM ... it depends.
The Stock Kernel Modules AddOn of GingerDX introduces ext3 and ext4 modules for the SEMC Stock Kernel, so in theory (I didn't test it!) you should be able to access /sdcard when being formatted ext3/4 - though it could be that you might need to adjust the vold script to properly mount the partition. The modules are mainly for supporting the sd-ext partition for "Apps-to-ext3/4-partition-on-mSD".
There's also alfsamsung's Alfs Kernel which is compatible with GingerDX and some other ROMs. That would be something you could try as well.
Simply look through the ROM threads ... I think MiniCM7 (+nAa's Kernel) should be able to support it, though this could involve some tinkering.
Personally speaking, I only have a ~2GB sd-ext on the SD in my X8 and the rest is a normal FAT32 partition (/sdcard).
yes you need a FAT32 partition.
when you partition your SD card you can move moveable app and games to ext partition.
please dont move app wich they cant move to ext partition.
cause after restart app that you moved to ext will corrupted.
good luck.
Thanks again! I think I'll follow your trend and try the 2GB SD-ext and the rest FAT32.
sd-ext missing!!
hey guys!! I've a small prob, would appreciate some tips. I normally move apps to sd card, if the app is movable by default. if the app is not movable by default, i use this app2sd by droidsail (available in the market) which force moves parts of the app 2 sd card. When I make back ups using xrecovery, i have no problem.
but when I use cwm for back ups, it gives an error saying sd-ext not found and it skips that part of the back up!! so any app I've moved by default or forced moved to sd card doesn't get backed up!! So I presume I have to create a sd-ext partition manually? How do I do it? I do have an sd-ext folder. but its not in sd card. it's in the root. (never had this prob with xrecovery though)
thanks in advance!!

[MOD] Mount External SD Card as /data for MORE SPACE

THIS MOD IS FOR THE METROPCS VARIANTS ONLY!!!!
Most of you reading this will know me from my AdvancedStock ROM. Well This new mod I created will allow you to mount an External Partition on the external SD Card as the /data partition on the phone allowing for as much space as you want on the phone for all apps, user data, pretty much everything. This mod replaces the usual /data mount point so that the SD Card can take over. It is a little complicated to explain but here goes:
Partition: A specific area of the drive.
Mount Point: Where the Partition is mounted during or after boot.
NAND: Internal Storage
SD Card: Your EXTERNAL SD Card. (Not INTERNAL)
Your phone has whats called partitions on its internal NAND storage device (mmcblk0). This storage device holds the OS, User data, etc. This NAND is what is changed when flashing ROMs, Wiping data, etc. Your phone also has what is call mount points. Mount points, for all intents and purposes, is a sort of folder on the NAND storage that can mount these partitions so your phone boots up, can download things, run apps, etc. This mod changes the /data mount point (Where all USERDATA is stored, like apps, app data, settings, wifi, etc.) to the SD Card(mmcblk1). Doing this mod, you will have 2 partitions on the SD Card, mmcblk1p1 and mmcblk1p2. This mod, in order to be used, requires that the SD Card have TWO(2) partitions. mmcblk1p1(fat32), & mmcblk1p2(ext4). This new kernel will use the mmcblk1p2 partition to store the USERDATA by replacing the mount point that was originally mmcblk0p2 (Or something to that affect). This is done by unpacking the kernel modifing the fstab(File with a list of mount points and partitions).
So at the end of formatting the SD Card the partition table should look something (does NOT need to be exact
----------------------------------------------
| FAT32(500MB) | EXT4(28GB) |
----------------------------------------------
PARTITION 1 | PARTITION 2
mmcblk1p1 | mmcblk1p2
I hope this explination helps everyone under stand exactly what this does. This is not a apps2sd mod, this is a DATA2SD mod. ALL user data, not just apps, will be stored on the SD Card.

Download: https://www.mediafire.com/?poalj63aubajkd2
Need to Factory Reset (Post MODDED KERNEL install): https://www.mediafire.com/?qaxcyhxusfc1f2u (Flash in TWRP, Not tested)
Download for latest Firmware(1.23.155.0.3): https://www.mediafire.com/?0po4jm2a6k8rx7u
Warnings:
You always run the risk of bricking a device when using non-oem firmware.
Although I have tested this extensively (And currently using it as my Daily Driver) expect bugs.
Under Settings -> Storage you will see "Unavailable/8.00GB" This is fine and can be ignored.
This can cause a bootloop if not used properly. and can Soft-Brick your device.
This process requires the phone to act AS IF it was factory data reset. But it was not. You will need to re-download all your apps, configure the phone again as if you did a factory data reset. This is required because of the new kernel. If you want to revert back to before, just flash the boot from the backup you will be making in the install steps.
Notes before installing:
1. The external data partition MUST be Partition 2 no if ands or buts!
2. This **MAY** cause some lag on the device if the SD Card is class 4 and lower, or if the SD Card is old.
3. The partition SIZES do not matter as long as there are two partitions as explained in the instructions.
4. The Wipe data function in TWRP will STILL BE MAPPED TO THE INTERNAL DATA NOT THE NEW EXTERNAL ONE SO DO NOT WIPE DATA OR FACTORY RESET WILL USING THIS KERNEL OR YOU WILL LOSE THE DATA FROM BEFORE THE KERNEL WAS FLASHED.
Install:
You need TWRP installed, so go to xda forums and install it.
Then boot into TWRP.
Select Backup.
Select Storage Device
Select Micro SD
Select All options and click "Backup"
Wait until it is done.
plug your phone in and in Windows/Linux/Mac go to your phone in a file manager then Phone\TWRP\BACKUPS\<SOME_RANDOM_NUMBERS\todays date and copy everything out of there.
Put htc626s_extData.img on the INTERNAL SD CARD.
Reboot into android and Install AParted
Open it and press the green plus button twice.
For Partition 1: Make sure the file system is fat32, this is important!!!! (Size it how you like) This is required so Android does not bug you about an unsupported filesystem.
For Partition 2: Make the file system ext4(Size it how you like)
Hit "Apply Changes"
Wait and then reboot back into TWRP.
Go to Install -> Then in the bottom right select "Install Image" and browse to the htc626s_extData.img file you downloaded and put on the internal SD Card.
Select "Boot" and install.
wait a second.
then click Reboot System.
First boot up time will be long, but after that it will boot up like a new phone!!! Dont worry, your data is still on the OLD data partition, the phone just does not have access to it.
Enjoy and profit from the new space.
Any question let me know here, PM, or whatever.
Hi, thanks for all the hard work your putting into this phone. I want to try the mod but I already use link2sd (Free version) and link some of my apps to the sd card. So I already have an ext2 partition on my sd card. Can I just flash the kernel and it boots with the second partition mounted and the apps that I already linked with link2sd, still work. Thanks again!!!

Unfortunately no. The mod requires a fresh ext4, not ext2, partition.
Can you take screenshot of system storage?
So partition 2 will be acting like internal storage completely or just data for apps? If its completely, couldn't I just dedicate 99% of my external card to partition 2?
---------- Post added at 09:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 AM ----------
Or better yet, what is the purpose of each partition?
Will you be adding more features to this Kernel in the future?

The first partition is there so Android does not bug you about a broken SD card. The second acts as 100% internal storage AND /data.
And yes 99% of the SD card can be for this mod. Or 50% that's up to you.
Screenshot uploaded so you guys can see the amount of apps is over the amount of space this phone used to have.

Will a 16gb SD be good enough? It looks like you're using a 32gb SD card. For ext4 partition you have it for 28gb why not 31gb? And can I make fat32 500mb as well? And since you use 28gb.. 8gb is used for nand storage? Can u give me an example for a 16gb SD card for aparted? I will like to make use of all of the 16gb SD. Thanks

The sizes can be what ever you want. as long as the 2nd partition is ext4. thats all you really need to worry about.
But here is an example:
Partition 1:
Filesystem: fat32
Size: 500MB
Partition 2:
Filesystem: ext4
Size: 1100MB
It is really that simple. I am using a 32GB SD Card, and have it split so that there is an 8GB is fat32 for Pictures I take and other misc Windows based programs I use with my phone.
But you do what you want. But once you set the sizes and go through Android's Setup, you cannot resize them.
Man I can't wait to get to a computer and try this out. Man, with xposed finally working it really couldn't have came at a better time. I'm down to about 327 mb of free space in the internal storage.. 8gb of total internal space was a horrible decision by HTC. I understand the phone is a budget buy but 8gb is downright insulting in 2015 on a lollipop device. But let me stop that miniature rant now. I did notice that my 32gb card I bought 3 phones ago is only class 4. Hopefully it doesn't lag like you mentioned could possibly be the case.. And if it is the case, I'm going to upgrade my micro SD card to a higher storage level and class level. I really need to get this mod working, and working optimally. In my opinion, if all goes correctly it will be a major upgrade to the phone and be a solution for my single biggest issue about this phone.

I'd recommend a class 6 or 10 I don't think this phone supports an SD card larger than 64GB so be warned on that aspect. A brand new card would also be better.

Thanks sandix this looks awesome. I have a class 4 sd but am going to try this when I get my class 10 in the mail. My manual says this phone supports sd cards up to 200gb. Hope I can use all that .
Wow. Yes if the phone supports 200GB then you can use 99.99% of that. (Some factors come into play like the SD card will have dead spots in it it will probably be closer to like 196GB, as well as the fat32 partition you need.) Post screenshots as well as results

I still haven't gotten around to the PC yet.. I'm not sure if I need this actually.. For a few days I've had xposed mod xinternal sd and well, check out the screen shot
Are you familiar with this module? I've never used it before.. But I have plenty of app space now. Finally I have everything I want installed coexisting all at the same time
No issues so far
That's a good module, but it's not doing what you think it does. It will work for awhile but you will find that you will run out of space because of apk size.

Thanks for the heads up. I figured it's worth a try. If I have issues I'll remove it. I updated the screenshot. It says I have 32 removable apps right now.
