Im currently on rc 5.5 and have. Plans to flash the rc 5.6 or other roms. If i flash new roms? Would my previous a2sd script be erased to? How bout my partitionrd sd card? Will there be changes? Noob here :-D

there's won't be any change on the sd card partition. even if you wipe data & cache, it won't change any partition on sd card.
but if you do wipe your data, your a2sd script will be gone as well. so you need to re-install the app2sd script or application.
It is always good to wipe data and cache before flashing a new rom to get 100% performance...
When you do that your ext partition will also be formatted..
So the bottom line is after flashing a new rom you should flash the scripts again....
Don't forget mount system and data before doing so...
Swyped from my first Android device....!
No need to flush data if I upgrade a rom?

every you flash new rom, i think you need wipe all...so that like a new n very fresh rom..and you'll start overall from begining...a2sd scricpt was gone...

hi,
i have been flashing many roms these days but most of the custom roms' clean installation guide don't mention if u need to format ur internal SD before flashing so i'm wondering if not doing it will cause any problems. so normally for a clean install do u need to format the internal sd before flashing the rom?
(not talking about external sd here since i don't use an external sd)
No .
But i always wipe format clean flash .

No need... but deleting "android" folder in SD card did fix few of my gallery issues...

Hi,
Could you tell me how to clean install? I just installed a custom ROM and although i did a Wipe Data/factory reset AND wipe cache using clockwork recovery my data like apps etc are all there from the previous ROM. Is there any way to do a clean install? Like totally clean?
Thank you
Which ROM are you using? Most of the ROMs come with the full wipe feature which ensures a clean install. The apps will be repeated only if you use a different version of the same ROM.

Need help guys!
Today i flashed cm7.1 on my N1
(B4 i was using cm6 rc1 with DT a2sd)
Cm7.1 works great but i need a2sd for more space
After i flash DT a2sd beta 4 , i entered into boot loop
My phone wont boot
Whats the problem?? do i need to wipe sd-ext also
(As it may contain previous rom's app data?)
Thanks in advance
Please help!
wipe everything including sd ext or use nandroid backup if any( i usually make backup before flashing dta2sd ).if ur using cm 7.1 u can try S2E app available in market which does the pretty same job but its with gui so its easy to operate

Thanks for the reply!! m i right tht wiping sd ext wont format files on sd card?(fat i mean)
I still get into boot loop after wiping sd-ext b4 installing DT a2sd
is there anything to do with the kernal
I would try doing a full wipe (including system) then flash everything a new. ROM, gapps then DT. If you don't want to lose your app data just backup with titanium backup.

Thx for the reply! i hv tried wipe system also. Still failed...
And yesterday i tried another a2sd method with s2e...
Everytime stuck at X screen during restart
Which recovery are you using? - your ext may be messed up...
Hi guys, I'm on CM7 by squadzone, and everytime I try to install an app (both with market or apk file) the phone reboots without installing anything...
I've had this problem some time ago and I fixed it flashing again the ROM, but I see it's back xD
So I'm looking for a real fix
If it's important I'm using a2sdgui and I check on Titanium Backup my memory stats: I've at least 50Mb free everywhere (sd-ext, sd, ROM memory, etc.)
Bro I faced this problem many time !! When I install app reboot! ! I am on tjstyle 1102011 with squadzone oc! ! This happen when I install da2sd script! !! After that this problem have again and again!!

If you are using a2sd w dalvik cache on sd, probably that sd-ext partition is corrupted in some way.
Simple solution:
1) backup with CWM
2) no need but format from CWM sd-ext, only this
3) restore ONLY sd-ext from previous backup
It works!
Just one question: I used to clean Dalvik with Titanium Backup, can it be the reason?
I just checked and, in fact, there is a file that Titanium suggest to clean!

hi,
i'm usin ra passion 2.2.1 and wan't to use a2sd from ics 4.0.3 evervolv. how can i create a part ext4?
Google:
"a2sd partition sd card".
Enjoy.
Try 4EXT recovery www.4ext.net
I think its the easiest way to create partition.
Or else you can do it in pc via partition managers(i use minitool partition wizard)
You can google it and also can search in youtube for video tutorials.

thanks for your help, i've done it in recovery.
one question is left:
what happen if i format the partioned sd-card under windows and do a full wipe in preparation for installing a new rom. i've read sd-ext even survive a full wipe? what does that mean? stays the partition untouched when i format the sd-card with windows? and what about the apps in the partition? are they still there even after a full wipe and can i use them after flashing a new rom out of the box?
Glad u succeeded in partitioning
Now if you format the fat32 partition in windows using those partition tools doesnt affect ur ext. Ext stays untouched but all the data on fat32 will be wiped(so backup first to pc)
If u want to merge there is an option called merge for that.
There is an free windows software called sdformatter, that formats the entire sdcard(fat32+ext)
Hope i helped a bit :thumbup:

ok. i wan't to format it with the windows internal function via right click. is it the same and the ext4 stays untouched?
Full wipe in recovery wipes SD-EXT too.

i do beleive that it should be untouched, cos normally windows cannot see the ext partition and hence only fat32 will be formatted

ok. when ext4 stay untouched and i flash a new rom the apps are still in the launcher after flashing?

when i flash a new rom i use the format.zip form the xda user temasek which wipes system, boot, data and cache. so is sd-ext untouched when i use this file?
You insist on not listening and/or not understanding.
When you select "wipe data/factory reset" in custom recovery, EXT partition IS WIPED COMPLETELY. It doesn't stay.
I believe the same happens when using temasek's script, never bothered using it, so I can't say with 100% certainty.
If you don't wipe your phone and install a new ROM - be prepared for crashes of anything to everything, unless you install a ROM which is 100% compatible with what you have already - the next generation of the same ROM, usually.
If you're using A2SD and don't wipe EXT partition - you'll have crashes as soon as you boot, since system apps' data will be there (and wrong).
To keep your apps and their data, use one of the backup apps available in the Market, like Titanium Backup.
as Jack_R1 explained its always better to wipe everything(system,cache,dalvik n sdext) to be on safer side to avoid crashes n FCs.

Temasek's Extreme Wipe does Data/System/Boot partitions but don't remember seeing ext in the list
However, as alluded too, I would format all outside phone with sdformatter or I think gparted, although never used that one
I thought I read a long time ago Windows formatter not recommended and do a full wipe not partial with whatever you use
Back up sdcard first
also, I believe you can use the Alignment Cool zip to get ext 4 from 3 on Amon and not lose anything--still backup
you do know MeDroid uses Ia2sd and different from a2sd on implementation
You don't need to wipe the regular FAT partition on SD card between flashes, because there's nothing there that loads automatically. And "wipe data/factory reset" option in recovery also wipes /sdcard/.android_secure.
hey guys, thanks for your answers i will keep them in mind.
edit:
one more question:
if i uses temaseks script and the sd-ext is untouched and i flash a newer version of my rom, are the apps then still there after flashing and booting the updated system? or is there another step i've to do?
No, the apps aren't there anymore - or to be correct, the apps are there, their data is gone (because the app data doesn't reside on EXT partition, unless you use specific mounting methods).
When you flash an updated version of your ROM, just don't wipe anything at all unless the instructions specifically mention having to wipe before installing that version. That means - don't execute temasek's script at all.
I have been noticed that ace III rom was apply sd-card partition to gain more internal memory..

Its happened to me before.. Even i try flash another Cust. ROM Just stays the same...
Finally i solve it with odin. Flash firmware and it will fix it..

to get more internal memory, do full wipe, them install rom, once installed, flash the file attached then wipe sd-ext reboot and it should be right to go
p.s for every 100mb free internal memory you get 500mb "internal memory"
Nothing different..i have do wipe factory data + wipe cache + wipe dalvik..then flash the ACE III rom + attachment..still same..178 memory internal..
did you wipe sd-ext after installing int2sd?
as i know..flash a new rom, its already format system, data, cache, sd-ext..
