Thats it! All done!
Thank you 51dusty for the sdparted Script!
Batch file made by me!

Great guide...again =] But this way is MUCH MORE stable.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534714

ya i know i saw that guide. I decided to put this one up becuase it uses minimal commands and doesnt involve a lot of terminal usage and stuff. Just another way to partition i guess.

Ok I looked in settings and storage. This is what I have....sd card total 6,501mb available space 5,813mb sdcard secondary 1,048mb available space 829mb but for internal space it's showing 86mb. Did I do this process right? Is my internal space suppose to have much more space? When I download something it takes away the internal memory.

yup! you are all good! 86mb for a cupcake rom is perfect! Congrats!

So what goes into the secondary storage because if I download something the internal space gets used

Greetings
I knew it all could'nt go as smoothly as the new rom install ^_^
When I try to run apps2sd wether out of astro or from the app panel, it goes to a black screen, and thats it. The phone is not locked, I just hit home (after waiting for minutes for something to happen) and I'm back at my home screen.
I did'nt think I skipped any steps. Idea's ?

Thanks for the Sticky Guide

upgrading filesystem
I have the right recovery if I upgrade from ext2 to ext3 will I lose all my apps?

installed app2sd it asked if I wanted to reboot, I hit reboot and now I'm stuck on the G1 screen

This is why you don't partition your sdcard using this. It works most of the time but not always. Wipe and reformat your sdcard. Then reflash ROM

Sweet man thanx!

ext3 slowed my g1 down
I jus upgraded my partition using this guide and my fone seems WAY SLOWER. Is there anyway to downgrade safely back to ext2 without wiping the partion clean? Or do u recomed an app I already have an overclock app.

fixed problem!
I fixed the issue. Lol I feel kinda dumb. Just has to many processes running that where eating memory.

I am lost. I have the newer SPL and JF 1.51 adp. Why all of these steps for apps2sd?
Should it not be:?
1. Format card using a partition program and create ext3 / FAT partitions
2. Install newest Cy rom
3. It automatically moves the apps when it sees the ext3 related parameters.
Why all of the steps in this thread? Am I missing more brain than I normally do?
Why would I need the 1.3.1 recovery rom? Are all of these steps if you do not already have a JF rom?
Thanks!

Apps2SD2 detects if your card has been formated with an ext2 partition. If not it will format your sd card for you therefor not needing a computer program. The new reocvery 1.3.1 allows you to run the upgrade_fs command to format the ext2 to ext3 and also has other features such as gparted and fix ext filesystem.

my question is this...I already have cyanogen's rom installed...I have been away from a computer and the internet for about a week so I'm still on 3.6.5...which is fine with me.
In Cyan's thread, he says:
DO NOT RUN ANY OTHER APPS2SD APPLICATIONS ON THIS BUILD. YOU WILL BREAK YOUR SYSTEM. THEY ARE NOT NECESSARY BECAUSE THIS ROM WILL DO A2SD AUTOMATICALLY AND BETTER!

however one of the steps to partitioning the sd card in this post is installing apps2sd..

Huge Problem With Cyanogen Auto Apps2sd

So I partitioned my sd card so i would be able to automatically have apps to sd like the faqs of the cyanogen mods said, but now that i have done the process and partition my sd card 500mb ext, 34mb linux swap, not only has it not worked and the apps are still taking up memory on my phone, it is not noticing the secondary partition in the settings and when i reboot my phone, after the g1 screen and android screen, my phone just goes blank. does anyone have any input? ive wiped and reflashed the rom, now im just clueless. and if it matters, i used Paragon Partition Manager to partition my sd card.

You could re-partition it by using the console in recovery mode.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533731
Look at the 2nd code box and follow it. This is how I did it my first time.
It is really easy.

yea the only thing is it is either saying not found, or error could not stat device dev/block/mmcblk0 no such file or directory. so im stuck i cant even format my card and get back to 8 gigs its sayin 6.06 gigs. ionno im stuck.

Can't you use your partition manager to delete the partitions you made? Then just make 1 partition: fat32, then use the code on the link.
I use paragon Partition mgr. and that is an option to use.

If you partion your card after flashing your rom, then you must reflash your rom for changes to take effect. You have to do that so the system can change the way it runs

Oops sorry, I just reread your first post and saw that I missed that you did reflash. Try going into your recovery console and type ums_enable to mount your card and than try downloading gparted and try to reformat that way, when you are done type ums_disable to unmount. Have you tried taking your sd out when you try to boot up just to see if you can get past, it is possible that your sd corrupted

its ok thank you both, i used the recovery erase all partitions and im gonna read the second box and partition threw the console instead of on the manager.

I just had the same thing happen to me earlier today. I have the 404 Cyanogen MOD and now my SD card is stuck. I can't figure out how to get rid of that partition. All of the directions are not step by step. And this rookie is stressed out. Please let me know where or which directions you used to format your SD.

To get it back to just a fat32 partition.... THIS WILL WIPE ALL DATA ON YOUR SDCARD!!!! MAKE A BACKUP OF FAT32 also this will only work with 1.3.1 and up cyanogen recovery image
boot into recovery and go to the recovery console and type
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
rm 1
rm 2
rm 3 (if you have a linux-swap partition)
print (after the 4th or 5th line there is a number after a line that reads disk size or something and that will be the end value for the next command. Sorry on my g1 now)
mkpartfs primary fat32 0 xxxx(substitue with number above)
quit
reboot recovery
Then reflash your rom. That will clear all partitions of your sdcard and leave you with one whole partition that is fat32.

How do I get my apps back after formatting?

I decided to format my card and repartition it, and I did, but before I did i pulled the "/system/sd/" onto my computer.
When the partitioning was all done, i went back to adb and pushed everything i took out back into the /system/sd.
So I throw on cm4.0.4 and turn it on and I dont see my apps. The menu>setting>sd and storage does show that my ext2 has stuff in there. But how do I get my apps back on my launcher?

That's not the apps, you have to pull the ext partition.

Have you tried "fix_permissions" from Cyanogen's recovery?

/system/sd is the mount point of the ext partition, so the apps were pulled.

Can't get Apps2sd to work (help please)

I have been searching the forums for 2 hours trying to figure this out and I cannot find out how. I tried following the tutorials on the forums here on how to partition the SD card but none of the settings that were listed are not on my recovery. But I still tried it anyways. Here is the list of options on my recovery
Reboot system now
Nandroid v2.2 backup
Nandroid v2.2 restore
Apply sdcard:update.zip
Apply sdcard:choose zip
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe SD:ext partition
Wipe SD:dalvik-cache
Part SD:fat32+ext2+swap
Part SDnly fat32
Repair ext filesystem
Convert ext2 to ext3
Fix apk uid mismatches
Fix rotate
USB Mass storage on
USB Mass storage off
The bottom says "Build : RA-heroc-v1.2.3".
Upon reading the tutorials, I decided to try something different. So I wiped ext partion, parted sd fat32 ext2 and swap, then converted ext2 to ext3. Applied PureHero 2.1 and I enabled Apps2SD, move apps to sd, move dalvik cache to sd, enable JIT, and changed dalvik heap to 24mb. It rebooted and none of the applications I downloaded and installed were transferred to the SD.
Before this I applied a rom before wiping and parting and changed the same settings and it wasn't working then either.
I tried using the cmd and located to my android-sdk-windows and tried finding what version of apps2sd I had but it kept aborting. I tried repairing and it kept aborting, I even tried installing and it kept aborting.
I am at a loss here and I am trying to get all of this working.
It is a 2gb card and it is only showing 1.34gb available so I have no idea how to give me the full 2gb like it was before I tried partitioning.
Before I posted this, I applied the program at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715116 and that didn't work as well.
Please help.

I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but I would try to upgrade to RA-heroc-v1.6.x, it might be your recovery not partitioning correctly or something. Once you have upgraded, go ahead and wipe everything (data, dalvik, and ext). Flash your ROM. Before you move your dalvik to the sd card you want to make sure you have at least a class 4 sd card. Once your phone is booted up check your internal memory and you should have 90+M out of 159 or so. If you have that then I am pretty sure your ap2sd is working. You can also check to make sure it is working through adb. I don't use the option in recovery to move the apps to sd. Hope this helps, and I hope my information is correct, lol. I still consider myself a noob.

Ok ill do some research on how to update and see what I find. If that don't work then ill come back and keep you updated.
Thanks
EDIT: I have tried updating my Recovery using FlashRec and it isn't backing up my recovery or finding the recovery at all. I am on ubuntu so maybe that might be the problem, idk. Is there any other way I can update my recovery? I have 1.6.2 downloaded and just need to apply it.

The instructions are here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581521#1
I used the adb method last night no problem.
Note: the first thing it tells you to type is "mount -a"
After which your phone might spit out some sort of error message. Don't worry about it, it doesn't affect anything. That's what people said, and it didn't affect me.

Well this is confusing lol. I went into recovery, went into USB mode getting ready to update my recovery option and a screen popped up in ubuntu with the folders app, app-private, dalvik-cache, and lost+found. Apparently I had apps2sd working the entire time... But I nandroid last night back to ZenEXP. Idk if it still works in Pure Hero.
But now that I have apps2sd working, I can flash a new rom and still have my applications right?
EDIT: In Windows 7, it doesn't show the partition anymore for the apps2sd. So im just gonna go ahead and update recovery then repartition everything.

Please update with whether or not your apps still work after flashing a new ROM, I want to know if it works like that.

I cant update the recovery at all. I have tried both ways and it fails.
I tried adb and as soon as i try to use the command "mount -a" it says "no such device". I tried using "mount /sdcard" and it says "Device or resource is busy".
On the Fastboot + adb I can load into fastboot. But when i type "fastboot boot recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2-blue.img" it says "cannot load fastboot boot 'recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2-blue.img'".
I tried pressing the trackball on fastboot usb and the screen goes black for a second, then i hear a connect noise in the speakers then it shows fastboot for a split second then fastboot usb again.
Also in Fastbot +adb when I use the command "adb shell mount /sdcard" it says "device not found".
EDIT: im also starting to think my adb shell is broken or something lol.

Ok nevermind I got it working. I typed mount /sdcard and it said it was busy but then i used the command "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2-blue.img" then Rebooted into recovery and it says 1.6.2 and its blue. I just hope I did it the right way and didnt **** anything up...
EDIT: Ok well I partitioned it with 64mb swap, 1024mb ext2, converted to ext3, and loaded up PureHero 2.1. How do I know if it is working? I have my DConfig options set to move dalvik and apps to sd, with JIT enabled. Do I just install an app and see if the internal memory lowers or stays the same? How do I access the apps folder through USB mode?

This is how to tell if you have A2SD working

[Q] Switching SD Cards NO Apps2SD

Hi, I have a G1 rooted with the SuperD 1.9.3 Rom, I never partitioned my SD card or anything like that. I want to upgrade my SD Card and partition it to get Apps2SD and keep the same Rom. I am not sure what steps to take...

Which recovery do you have? If you don't yet, make sure to upgrade to Amon_Ra latest. Once you have that, reboot into recovery, select partition card and follow directions on screen. This will wipe your card completely so backup anything you want to save. It will not affect your rom in any way. You may have to move your existing apps manually, not sure.

How do i know what recovery i have? Do I partition my current sd card or the new one?
So I do not need to reflash the Super D?

You would boot into recovery and look to see which one you have, it will say it right on top. You will partition your new card. Absolutely no need to reflash your rom, it will recognize your ext partition and install all future apps in it automatically. As I said, I'm not sure about existing apps, you may need to move them manually.

It says Android Sysem Recovery Utility Build: JFv1.42 There is nothing that says Partition SD or anything like that... Now my rom is on my current sd card if I don't flash it to the new one my phone still knows what rom I have? Sorry about all the questions thanks for your help =)
I was thinking of doing this to install Amon RA's recovery img
I got it from another forum in here....
Copy recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img to the root of your sdcard
Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME)
select console from the menu
#mount -a (this can give back an error if you don't have an ext partition, don't worry about it and just proceed)
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img

JF's recovery does not have that option because it's really, really, really old. We did not even have apps to sd back then.
Flash RA's recovery (directions seem right, I assume you got them out of RA's thread), you'll see the difference: many more options, etc
Good luck.

Ok, so I am going to do the following steps....
1. Flash Amon Ra's recovery image
2. Reboot phone
3. Get into recovery again
4. Back up my sd card on the computer, remove sd card from phone
5. Insert new sd card, partition sd card
6. Transfer files from old sd card including update.zip which is the rom
7. Reboot phone
Let me know if I'm missing something thanks for all your help!
I'm going to do this over the weekend...

Ok, so I got the new Amon RA recovery image but haven't done anything else...lol. So can you tell me if those steps are right? And why don't I need to flash the rom again...I currently have it on my sd card...I'm a bit confused

1. Reboot to recovery. Partition your card (I suggest 512mb for ext partition, rest is fat, follow instructions within recovery).
2. Upgrade ext to ext3.
3. Reboot (your phone will move your existing apps onto sd.) It may take a while to fully boot, just give it 10 min or so.
4. In terminal emulator type
Code:
su
fix_permissions
5. Reboot again.
5. Transfer whatever you had on your old sdcard (music, pics, etc) onto your new card.
As far as flashing the rom again.... why? Your OP says you want to keep your existing rom.
To check if your apps were moved:
In terminal:
Code:
su
ls /system/sd/app
ls /system/sd/app-private
ls /system/sd/dalvik-cache
Should give you print-out of what you have on ext partition of your sdcard (or you can use root explorer or whatever other file manager, I'm a bit old shool so I prefer terminal or adb)

5. Reboot again.
5. Transfer whatever you had on your old sdcard (music, pics, etc) onto your new card.
Okay in step 5. Reboot again do I just type in the terminal emulator reboot or reboot recovery?
Also when you say "transfer whatever you had on your old card..." Do I also transfer the file that says update.zip?
Sorry for all the questions, I should be getting my new sd card today and will try it out tonight.
Thank you.

You just type reboot.
It is up to you what you want to transfer onto your new card. I assume that update.zip is your current rom. If so, it's nice to have just in case but it will not make any difference in how the phone works. It's just an install file that you use once (unless, of course something goes terribly wrong and we all have been there ) but it's nice to have all tools needed on your card so you can quickly recover from any problems.)
BTW, with your new shiny recovery (RA1.7), you don't have to rename your files to update.zip. You can name them whatever you want (i.e Super-D1.9.3.zip, Recovery.zip) and, if you decide to reflash something, at least you will know what it is. Your new recovery will let you choose which file to flash so you can have more then one .zip file on your card if you want.

Ok so I still haven't gotten my new card! It should be here next week...Anyways I tried using switchrom to store my current just in case but I get this error Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory)
Any clues why I'm getting this do I need to have my phone connected by USB or something to a computer....?
Thanks hopefully I'll stop asking so many questions...I tried this solution but no luck

problem :
"E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory)"
In the Android System Recovery, select "USB-MS Toggle". It will enabled/disable the feature. Do it one more round and it will solve the problem.

It's telling you that it can't mount SD card.
Back up all of your stuff from SD card, format it and try again, that's the only thing I can think of.

Actually, I just ended up doing a Nandroid Backup just did Nandroid not Nandroid +ext since I don't have this card partitioned...it is backed up!

Ok buddy its easier if you do the whole process through the sdcard
First you should backup everything on your sdcard and do a BART or NAN+EXT then partion your card and restore your BART or NAN+EXT and your good to go
If this does not work press my name and look at my threads because I ask this same quetion a while ago
Post again if this does not work

Hi, I tried doing a Nan+ext backup but I got this error : Run nandroid-mobile.sh via console I also tried doing a Bart backup and it also said Run Bart via console...
So I just did a regular Nan Backup...I don't have my current sd card partitioned...should I partition it so I can do the Nan+ext I currently have a 2gb card and it doesn't have a class number.... Maybe I should format my card?
Thanks!

Ohh ok I see ur problem it won't let u backup nand+ext if you don't have a ext
since you backed up already go ahead and throw the nandriod and any other files on sd card to your pc the format your sd create the app partion and swap partion make sure u formate it ext3 or ext4 depending on what ur rom uses put the nandroid back on sd after format and restore post if it works or not
If this don't work just reverse the process put nad back on pc format card to what is was before then put nand back on sd and restore

OK so I partitioned my current memory card =) and was able to succesfully do a nandroid +ext...so now when I get my new card I just have to go into recovery and do a nandroid restore and transfer all my files right? Thanks

Remember to partion your sdcard before transfer
Sent from my HTC Dream using XDA App

Ok so I tried switching my cards and formatted my new card,paritioned it, transfered the files from my other sd card, and tried to a nandroid restore...that's when I get the same error as before to do it from console.
I tried taking all the files out and repartitioning the sd card doing everything again no luck. Reflashed my rom and turned it on after it boots like normal I get a black screen. So just went back to my old sd card was getting force closes so did nandroid restore it said it did but would boot normal and get force closes.
So I reflashed my rom and reinstalled everything manually...from sd card as my market disappeared got it back after reinstalled it...
Any suggestions as I really want a bigger capacity memory card....=/
