So using a different phone the SDcard works? It maybe that the SDcard reader on the G1 is failing. I would try to use Paragon Partition Manager and see if that helps.

Nope, it'll only fix the SDcard. The SDcard reader on your G1 won't be affected. If it's broke, it's broke.

Not sure, I've heard people using fastboot or ADB but I've never had to do it. I'll look into it (for my own courisity) You should do the same (because it's your problem)

[Guide] How to successfully create a EXT4 and SWAP Partitions using gparted live CD

Ok, So this is my first guide.. so plz dont mind if my steps are not totally clear
I donno if a similar guide is available or not, bt i had problems finding it so i jus thought i would make my own and make it easier 4 everyone else!!!!
What is needed:
* A computer
* gParted Live CD image
* Blank CD-R
* Software to burn a .iso image
* A card reader
* (I would also recommend an extra computer 4m where u can access this guide), its just in case u 4get any step, coz once u have booted up in gparted, you wont have any net access 4m there
1) Download gparted Live CD (.iso) 4m here:-
http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php
(The download will be a bit slow, don't blame me, blame sourceforge) remember to download the stable version
2) Once downloaded Burn it using ur favorite burning software(i use imgburn coz its very simple), dont change any settings, it will burn as bootable by default
3) Restart your computer and enter boot menu(usually by pressing F2/F12) ,in boot menu change the boot order to bring ur cd drive on the top and the exit saving changes
4) Once ur computer restarts, it will boot 4m the CD and u will see some weird lines on ur screen, the u'll come to a page where u have 4 options, select the 1st one(it says boot gparted or something like that)
5) Once started it will ask u 4 preferred language, select ur language by typing the numbers given der and hit enter, after that it will again give u 3 options PRESS 0 AND HIT ENTER
-----U Will get a blurred screen now bt dont worry -------
6) Now u should have booted into gparted, wait 4 a dialog to open, there u would see ur computer's hardisks
7) On the right-hand side top corner u can select to see ur SD card (I donno what to call it bt its like a clickable button which opens a dropdown list of all the storage devices connected to the PC)
8) After selecting the SD card u can see ur SD card in the main screen(along with the partitions, if any) now what i would prefer is a clean format, so delete all the partitions, then u'll be left with just one tab of unallocated space(the total size of your SD card)
9) Right Click on the unallocated and then click new
13) A box will appear to create your first partition. Create your Fat32 partition first. Click the drop down box and click Fat32. Choose the size you want to make it (I just write the size of my EXT4 partition +30MB in the 'Free space following box'---Example:- I want a 512 MB EXT thein ill write 512+30 i.e. 542). leave it as primary. Now click add
14) Now U'll see 2 partitions, one FAT32 and the other one is unallocated, right click on the unallocated one and click new then type 30 in the free space following box, make sure its also on primary partition in the create as box, and then u can select any file system you want (EXT2,3,4). then click add
15) Now only 30 MB will be shown as unallocated. Right click on that and click new, don't change anything, except the file system box, select it as linux SWAP, then click add
16) Now click apply. Congratulations!!!!!!! You are done with the partitioning of your SD card!!!!
17) On the top left of your screen u can see an icon named as exit/turn off, click on it and then select reboot and click ok... ur pc will restart and boot to windows....
---------------------------------------------------------------
This will Give your a successfully working EXT and swap partition, that to of your desired Size!!!!
Hope this proves to be helpful to anyone who requires it.... feel free to post questions if u have any problems understanding these steps

can you please change all those 4s... it is really irritating!

You will have to install the Apps2SD Script after this, and move the apps and dalvik cache to the SD card after this guide, to move your apps to SD and remove the low mem space message.

3xeno is right..u need to flash the script... alternatively what u can do is that flash a rom that already has apps2sd in it...
ex:- wildpuzzle,ds,CM6&7...etc..

I have got latest HBOOT. Do you think I could still flash other roms on my HTC wildfire?
I tried few methods but all in vain. Maybe I don`t have vast knowledge of flashing and rooting.
Any suggestion....

Not possible as of now. You will have to wait.

Can this work with unrooted Wildfire 2.2.1?!
Is using this tutorial will allow me to install "ALL" Apps to SD Card and leave phone memory free ??
Already using App 2 SD Pro and Apps 2SD , is this guide useful for me or those two apps are doing the job

CWM Method works. That is what I did on my Wildfire to enable DTApps2SD, and no issues.
EDIT: I meant ROM Manager.

I also used ROM manager to create swap partition for Wildpuzzel ROM but after didn't know that ROM manager can create Ext-3 or Ext-4 partitions
Thanks for clarification

It's EXT-3 only AFAIK. But, DTApps2SD can convert EXT3 to EXT4 (Or EXT2 to EXT3). You can take a look here:

[Q] motorola milestone problem with cyanogen mod 7

hi every one
i have moto milestone and rooted it , downloaded the cyanogen mod 7 and flashed it successfully" after wiping all cash dalvik and data partitions" and it worked in excellent manner but after installing a lot of apps and games and for some reason rebooted " or may be shut it down or even the battery was empty" and tried to restart the problem happened !
it starts normally for 2 or 3 minutes and prepares the sd card and starts force close/wait/report msg with the adw launcher and then stuck freezes and stop responding completely .
restarting by removing the battery for several times with now result!
wiping the data partition was the only solution but on account of removing all my installed apps!
tried backing the nandroid backup with all my apps installed and restoring it and no hope!
tried alot of other launchers like adw launcher ex , crazy home , regina launcher and miui and samsung pure breez some of them had the same problem and crazy home and i91 home struggled a little bit so i thought it was the launcher problem but after 2 or 3 days they have the same problem and the phone got freeze after every restart or power up
i am very sorry for very long description but only to let u know my problem entirely so what to do ? what is the problem and how to fix?
is this is due to the large no of apps or due to gapps installation or what?

sorry pleez tell how to know as iam new to android system but if u r meaning the internal storage space no for sure as i set the installation destination in the cyanogen settings to external and all of them on the sd card !
if this is not what u mean pleez help !

another notice is that the phone works excellent if i removed the sd card !!!!!
so may it be because of the large no of apps or as u said before about data partition which iam waiting for u to explain pleez !

backup and delete .android_secure folder from sd card and see for yourself if the apps are the problem.

i deleted this folder .android_secure and powered it and worked snappy and no any issues so great but all the apps didn't appear and the manage applications shows them as unavailable on the sd card icon without there icons and the displayed size is the data and not the apps size after moving them
so hence the problem is the apps large amount of data or large no or some thing like that !
so what?
what is the problem & how to solve?
does any body faced this?
what is the max no of apps and games u have?
or what wrong setting or hack i don't know?

Its no good moving many apps to sd card... specially your launcher. If you do really want to do it, i strongly suggest you to partition your sd card via OR and add an ext4 partition.
Please refer to OR thread on how to do it if you are not aware of it.
One huge tip is after creating this ext4 partition, install S2E from market and READ the instructions.

The Milestone port of CM7 is not official, so there are bound to be issues. Under the assumption that it is not the ROM's fault, I suggest trying a different SD card. I highly suspect that it is just the ported ROM's compatibility issues, but you may still want to check the SD card to eliminate the possibility of your external storage being at fault.

you need a ext4 partition on your sd card and an app which enables you moving apps to sd like "link2sd", "s2e" or similar. And you need to root your phone.
Look a bit around in the ace section here on xda and youll find everything you need

you must create ext3 or ext4 primary partition on your sdcard. to create partition, install mini tool partition wizard to your pc. then you can use link2sd to link dalvik caches to your sdcard. or, if you use cm7 as your rom, you can install s2e. to remove system apps, use link2sd

Are you linking the apk, dex and lib files or just installing (moving) apps to sd? You should create link to free up your internal space.
Take it from my experience. I used stocklite for almost 5 months with link2sd. Linked all apps except for those with widgets or that i needed at boot left on internal. 80 apps, 50 mb free on internal.
If you change to cyanogenmod you won't have more internal space, same space, different rom. When you do the required wipes with cwm (which you should to install cyano roms) it will format and erase the partition. You'll still have your partitioned sd card, but all info in that partition will be gone.

I installed Cyno Mod 7 ROM and it works just fine and i have partitioned again and everything is fine now..but i backuped my stocklite and i dont have the original ROM which i used even before rooting how to get that 'the real one which i had when i bought the phone?' if i have that one ..i can change it to anytime when i want..

Carrier specific roms are harder to find than free roms. Go to sammobile and check if they have the rom that came with your phone.
The stock roms are all installed through your computer with odin and your phone in download mode.

not able to restore backup using kies

Hello guys. I have a Ace S5830 in CWM 5.0.2.6 and just flashed Maclaw's CM 9 RC3. Now i'm trying to restore my backup to the SD card. I connected the USB and opened kies but it's not recognising my device. Then i went to the removable disk and it says please insert a disk into F:/
So how can i restore my backup to the SD card?? thank you

Go into recovery, click mounts and storage, and then plug into computer. Then, mount usb mass storage and device should be recognised. also, make sure you have the correct drivers for your Samsung.

But is there no other way to do it? I mean i've used kies for backup and restore until i used this ROM. So because of this ROM kies isn't recognising my device?

Ac. to my knowledge ur phone is rooted n the warranty is expired so Kies wont recognize ur cell.
hit thanks if helped

Chuck that Kies !
Dude ! Kies has always sucked !
Why don't you just forget that !
and the reason for kies not detecting you device might be because your device is rooted.I'm not sure about that !
But you can go to CWM recovery ....then mounts and storage and select "MOUNT SD CARD"
Then select "MOUNT USB STORAGE" and connect it to ur pc and transfer what ever you want.
That's the Quickest way ! :good:

Also, next time, try to back up with the app called titanium backup as it is universal for all phones and highly recommend.

Hey i did all that and i found that i already had the files on my SD card. I'm able to access music and photos but not apps! And my contacts are gone. very confused
I did what u guys said and i copied the files in my backup to the F:/ and it started copying and while it was copying fruit ninja.asec from .android secure and then it hangs. Then when to access F:/ it says there is an I/O device error. So i tried again and same thing...Any suggestions?

kise sucks, the only purpose of kies is for our phones to be detected, we needed the divers of kies..haha never to use it as to back up..CWM is the best when backing up sytem and image

If your contacts were saved onto your Google account, they should sync automatically when you sign in. If not, you have to have backed up the contacts by exporting them to either the sim or sdcard. If you did not do that, then you cannot get them back. Also, im not sure about the app sync problem, but if you go to play store and sign in with the same account as before, you can go to my apps and redownload them from there. Hope i helped

Ohhh. Ok i lost all my contacts forever then I signed into my google accounts and apps aren't there in "my apps" but they're there in "all apps".
But before flashing the ROM( that i currently have) i backed up all the data to the PC! I checked on my SD card and found that all the data was there but the apps weren't there on the phone! So then i recopied the backup (on my PC) to the SD card but then i had tat problem i mentioned above.
Well i had 2.3.6. stock before i rooted and got maclaw's ICS ROM and i partitioned 256M of my SD card using CWM. Does that affect anything?
Thx a lot! Sorry i'm very new to all this

I guess you din't get it right ! Read the below carefully now and hit the THANKS button if you understood and if it was helpful
See since you din't sync your contacts to Google Account or moved it to the SIM card it's gone forever ! Nothing can be done !
It was useless backing up with kies ...so next time just don't open that idiotic software !
You should have backed up using CWM Recovery ! But never mind ..you are new to this
You are able to access you photos,songs and other stuff because they are stored on your SD card and by rooting or flashing a ROM ..nothing happens to your SD card !
After flashing a ROM ..your apps wont remain there ...because you factory reset your phone before flashing a ROM !
But still your app data will remain in SD card ...meaning ...Suppose before flashing a ROM u used to play a game on ur STOCK firmware and u had completed 5 levels of that game and that gets saved on your SD card ..now if you install that same Game on ICS AOSP ROM now ..you will find those 5 levels completed
So you need to download your apps again from Google play ! and partitions dont cause any problem
Wohaa !! That was the Longest ..I Have typed on XDA ;p

No it shouldn't affect anything, but just to clarify, what version of clockwork do you have? Also, were you able to reinstall the app from play store?

Yeah i know that i erased my SD card data. I downloaded the apps again but the app data isn't the same as when it was on stock.(for example i had fruit ninja where i unlocked everything but now it's all lost and same with other apps also) So maybe something is wrong?

CWM 5.0.2.6 and yes i downloaded everything again .

Strange ! I have my SD card as it is since I bought it ...I have never formatted it ..but still I keep changing ROM's and the app data always remains !

Sorry i keep asking q's. But is there no solution to this? I'm not able to even transfer my previous backup data(before installing the ROM) to the phone as it says I/O error...So i'll have this problem each time i flash a new ROM?

First of all ..I don't get it ..why you need that back up ?
No ! No ! Nothing like that ..you won't have these problems all the time !
BTW..which ROM are you using now ?

That backup has the saved data such as level progress and all in my apps. I'm using the same one ICS RC4 by Maclaw.

See to restore your backed up data ..you don't have to move those backed up files to ur SD card that won't do the job.
Since you have backed up using kies you will have to restore through that software only !
