Hello,
Is there any possibility to run two different android builds on one phone and making it actaully work? Today I am running only an NAND build, but I also want to run an android build from my sd card so I can experiment. I have tried to partition my sd card several ways, but it doesn't seem to work.
I have partitioned a sd card of 2 gb into 1gb of FAT (ubuntu doesn't offer the ability to format into the FAT32 format), 800mb of EXT2 and 100 mb of Linux Swap. And I placed the build I wanted to install (Scooter's Cyanoenmod 7.1) into an andboot folder on the 1 gb FAT partition. But still no succes so what am I doing wrong?
*Also how does one actually switch between the sd card installed and NAND installed android builds?*
set the sd partitions for system and data in atools.
Create 3 partition on sd:
- fat32
- ext3
- ext3
flash the new nbh and then reinstall the new rom.

i have CM3.2 with his new recovery img (1.1)
i have seen alot of ways to do apps2sd, but what is easiest most stable way to do it with his ROMS
*i have unpartitioned 4gb Class 6 Card. Need a step by step that will go smooth with his ROM...thanks ahead of time
First partition your sd card so it has Fat32 & Ext3 (in that order). On my 4Gb I use 3.5Gb for storage (fat32) and 500Mb for apps2sd (ext3)
Upgrade to CM 3.4 (To support ext3) and load recovery and click the "move apps to sd"

Hey guys, currently i'm using a 1gb sd card with cyan rom installed to my htc dream phone.
If I want to change to a higher capacity sd card, how should i go about doing it? In terms of the applications and stuffs?
Do you have your sdcard partitioned in any way? if its only a fat32 formatted card, you can simply format the new one fat32 and copy all files from the old card to the new. If you have it partitioned, match the smaller partitions on the new card (match sizes of ext 2/3/3 and linux swap if you have one and copy files accordingly) and copy old fat32 stored files onto new one (the fat32 partition size difference should not effect anything). I've tried this myself a few months back upgrading from a 4gb class 4 to an 8gb class 6 and I had no issues. Just be sure both cards were partitioned with the same program if you are using linux [I run Ubuntu], otherwise you may run into admin permission problems
Mine is formatted in the way in this site: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream/Magic32B_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
So how should I go about doing it?
I was wondering how is it possible to transfer my existing data from my slow class 2 card to a much faster class 10 card. The actual card is 16GB in size, and the new one should be only 2 GB in size. I have 1 GB ext4 partition and the remaining space is FAT32. The new card should have 1 GB ext 4 and 1 GB FAT32. I know I can format my card in CWM, but is there any way I can move the data and everything to work as before? How can i read EXT4 on Windows and write the data on the new card? Should I use same partition serial numbers when formatting?
If o do a nandroid backup of EXT4, should it restore successfuly on the new microsd?
Solved, made a nandroid backup of sd-ext, swaped cards, copied all from the old fat32 to the new partition, and then used avanced restore for sd-ext.
have you get problem unmount / mount sd card with cm7?, just try it unmount your sd card, and get it out then mount again, and your phone got freezzz
I want to install RunnymedeMod and it requires that I have a 1GB Ext4 partition. I have an 8GB SD Card...
I use Minitool Partition to create a 1GB Ext4. I apply the changes... I take the ROM zip file and put it on my SD card. When I go to the Recovery to install it, I go to chose the Zip file and it isn't there...
I boot my phone back up and open my SD card's file on my PC. When I look, the partition is no longer there and the ROM zip isn't on my SD anymore... it is getting frustrating.
Any helpful ideas?
The reason you can't see the 1GB partition is because Windows cannot read ext partitions. I suggest you install 4ext recovery, then create an ext2 partition and then upgrade it to ext3 and the lastly ext4. This is your best bet to make sure it's partitioned correctly and smoothly.

So I have touch 4Ext Recovery... when I want to create partitions it says First Ext and Second Ext and then Swap size.
I have an 8GB SD and I need a 1GB Ext4 partition.

First ext: 1gb, skip second ext and skip swap. Then upgrade to ext3 and lastly ext4.

Hi
I partition my SD card in nAa-11 recovery (256 SWAP and 768 EXT, 7 GB free), and now I can't restore it to his original condition - 8GB. Windows didn't see 8GB, just 7GB and I can format it, but it always shows 7GB as the total available space.
Any ideas, guys? I have to remount dis partitions in terminal emulator, or what?
You need to use a Partition Tool that supports Linux partitions, like GParted.
EDIT: A more easy way is repartitioning your SD from Recovery, setting SWAP and EXT to 0.
Use SDFormatter V3.1 and make sure you select format size adjustment ON option. A quick format should be ok.

use your android fone to format sd card.. in settings go to sd card and phone storage settings then unmount your sd card and then format it.. after formatting mount it back and now your partiotion was gone you can now see your 8 gb storage

try to mount your sdcard to your computer using a card reader, then re-format with GParted (if you're using Linux) or Mini Tool Partition Wizard (if you're using Windows)
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but:
I partitioned my memory card into 2 so I could install apps to sd card using Link2sd. The first partition where all the data was being saved got corrupted and had to be formated. In the process I have lost all the data that came on it originally. I have tried using the Android File Recovery, it does recovers all the files, but the directory structure is lost.
Is there any way I could get the data back that was there originally?
The partitions on card are in Fat32 format.
