need help with linux swap issues !!!!!

i did the partition, and for some reasons, i exchanged my phone for a new one but after i rooted my phone and flash the cyan rom, and when the phone starts up, the error messages pop up, i think its about the weather widget and calendar widget, saying it's not responding whether to force close or wait. But this is the new phone and fresh new rom i just installed. So I think those programs were still in my sd second partition. My question is, how do i format the 2nd partition or uninstall the apps ? i tried to master reset, but didnt work, and if i plug the usb cord into the computer, i can only see the primary partition but not the secondary one. So now, i cant remove the apps that i installed before, and those error messages pop out everytime when i turn on my phone.
Hope someone here can help me with this

its not ur linux swap part., ur apps are at ext
to clean up ur ext2/3/4
recovery -> alt+x
# mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
# rm -rf /system/sd/*
# reboot recovery
use search next time

oh...but i deleted the partitions and formatted the sd in my computer by right clicking my computer/manage/disk management, then choose the sd card, and i can see it is devided into 3 partitions 1 is 500mb, and one is 373mb and one is 91mb, i deleted one of the partition then 3 partitions merged into one, then i formatted it. But in my phone, it still has the "SD card secondary" section. So should i re partition my sd again like b4 ? and if i dont want to, how do i make the "SD card secondary" go away ?

is this a troll or is he serious?

how do i make the "SD card secondary" go away ?

[Q] Using ROM MANAGER to partition sd

i'am on 2.2.1 stock rooted though....now i believe i made the mistake of moving apps to SD BEFORE partitioning so now i have like a TON of apps on my SDcard and like 20mbs of internal storage LEFT but then i partitioned my SDcard -____- lol a FAIL ...so should i delete all of my 171+ apps and THEN Repartition ?

You could just use a partition manipulation app rather than repartitioning. I recently did this using gparted on my linux workstation. Not sure of any free windows apps that do the same. If you are not running linux, you can always use a bootable USB img to make the changes.
parted (gnu.org/software/parted/)
gparted frontend (gparted.sourceforge.net)
Here are some tools to make life easier when dealing with bootable USB images and windows.
linuxliveusb.com
unetbootin.sourceforge.net

hmmm alright ill give it a shot thanks i've got windows though not Linux

If you don't have partition magic or another app installed to change partitions around, just use either linuxliveusb.com or unetbootin.sourceforge.net to create a bootable usb key that will let you resize your partitions. They don't install anything or make any changes to your hard disks.

question though bro if you go into the ROOT of a partitioned SDCARD how does it look? like is there a SPARE folder for the apps? if possible a screenshot?

I'm too new to the forums to post real links, but below is a screenshot of gparted showing my nexus one. I opened gparted and went to view and checking "Device Information"
For my current partition layout, which is just 1 big partition, I see everything that I have saved to the SD card. My apps get installed on /sdcard/.android_secure

What distribution are you booting? There should be a menu with gparted listed. You could at least go to a console/terminal/xterm whatever and type in gparted.
Both tools for creating a usb stick should offer a gparted distro.

well when i go into terminal and type in gparted i get this.....UNLESS im doing it wrong...

Which distro are you running? You should install the gpared distro on your usb stick or at least systemrescuecd. Both of those are guaranteed to have gparted. I'm not sure about the others.

where can i find those ??

If you go to the links, they will tell you how to do it. It's not a complicated process.
Unetbootin gparted.sourceforge.net/liveusb.php
Download Unetbootin to help you to create this Live USB flash drive. Just run the program on MS windows, then you can follow the GUI to create the live. You will need the GParted live iso file in this method. PS. The boot menu created by Unetbootin is not exactly the same boot menu as the one created in choice 1. Therefore it's recommended to use the choice 1.

I have only 9 apps installed and I keep getting the 'low on space' message. I can't even update my current apps without getting this message. Any suggestions.
Another question I have is how can I install the Google Talk app? Thanks

well how much space do those apps take? are you putting them on sd? sdext? internal memory? you can use cmtd if you want more room for apps in iternal, you can partition sd card to put apps in ext3 or ext4 if you'd like. you can move them to the fat32 partition but they would be much slower
as for gtalk, just google search "googletalk.apk download" push it with adb or use a file explorer to download it to your phone

thanks for the .apk now i just need to figure out how to partition th sd card
ps. i decided to try out CM5, so far it is a lot faster than the rom i had originally flashed. will keep an eye on memory issues.

you have amonra recovery right? back up exerything from sd card to pc, boot to recovery choose partition sd, choose 512mb and no swap, the rest fat32 (this would be my preference but do as you please) wait until finnished, change ext2 to ext3... wait (you can stop here but I prefer ext4)
now put what you want back on sdcard. I beleieve your rom has the ability to automaticly move apps to ext, check in settings... if not that you may have to enable it via terminal

thank you for the quick tutorial, with cm5 i now have 40.9mb of phone storage(after installing facebook) and 1.77gb on external card. i dont see installing many other apps as this will be a backup phone to my current Galaxy Tab P6800, plus i also have a Galaxy S phone to use as back up as well.

[Q] Files dissapear from internat SD card after reboot

Hi all
I'm trying to replace the stock ROM on a i9000T variant, specifically tried to install CM10.1
It doesn't work, and I have 2 weird symptoms:
1. I can't really clear data\factory reset. For some reason some of the information on the device (several apps) stay installed even after clearing everything several times, and flashing a stock ROM using Heimdall.
2. Whenever a copy a ROM ZIP file on the internal SD card, whether using normal USB copy or ADB push - the file disappears after a reboot.
Do someone know these problems?
Thanks

It seems I am unable to uninstall user apps as well. The seem to uninstall, but come back after restarting the phone...

This would indicate your Internal SD card is failing , you may need to use External SD card, to act as the Internal Sd card for phone to function. Look at My Android Solutions, link below for
[ 13 & 14] Problem:-Getting this when you try to Boot...
E: format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p1. or
E: format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 or
Internal SD card unknown or

50.5 GB free of 53.6 GB

I have TWRP recovery and went to Format my phone through TWRP.
After formatting it says in Windows Explorer 50.5 GB free of 53.6 GB.
When I click into the phone in Explorer there are not files and nothing shows up. Is this normal for internal Storage for the phone after a clean wipe?

Yes this is for the 64GB version.

The 6GB of 'other' can't be found when browsing the phone.

OP: Did you format it f2fs or ext4? There's approx a ~5 G difference. F2fs leaves less than ext4.. (well, it's faster too for writes, so .. I think well worth it).

It's ok to show that way if you have data on f2fs [emoji4]

Man that Daft Punk logo is epic!

If you're feeling bold you can do some trial and error and allocate your own partition space. But by default you are not going to get all 64gb of the 64gb advertised. Disk space is quite a finicky thing where some storage devices are made better than others. Mine for instance with all my stuff installed with FreedomOS i have 57GB on my phone usable. I don't really do pictures though and hardly have many apps. Its just how technology is. I wouldnt really suggest any manual allocations to specific partitions because you could choke the phone causing either a boot-loop issue or a full bricking of your device. If you need more space you can hop down to best buy and purchase a smartphone external hard drive. Believe it or not phones can actually recognize flash drives and send files to them independently.

i have just formatted my storage in twrp and changed it to EXT4 and to me also its showing 50GB free of 53.6

Seem like some space are reserved for driver image drive which are usually shown up during connecting a PC.

This happened to me when I was changing filesystem (f2fs -> ext4 , and/or ext4 -> f2fs). I would connect my phone to my pc and it would show completely empty storage with around 50gigs free and without any of the usual android system folders. I ignored it and simply went ahead with rom installation from twrp and there were no problems.
Yes, it is normal after you switch /data filesystem
