[Q] How do i activate sd-ext partition in minicm 10 *SOLVED* - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i just installed minicm 10 4.1.2 with swap and sd-ext partitions made in CWM. The problem is that the ext partition is not enabled. i can see it in partitions info, but id doesn't do Anything. All of my apps get installed on internal memory.
Pls help

Use link2sd from the store to move those apps to the sdext

Settings-performance-memory management-A2SD
reboot..

I selected dc2sd. The first tiem it booted, the screen said "Android is optimizing", and after that everything was ok. But when i tried to reboot i was stuck in a bootloop (was waiting for nearly 10 minutes on the cyanogen boot animation) :/
I cleared dalvik cache, and booted up again, again android is optimizing and everything force closes :/
EDIT: Solved it.
It's a matter of selecting dc2sd or a2sd BEFORE installing anything.
So a wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik and cache did the work.
Clean install, than immediately select the a2sd metod in settings>performance>memory management
Funny thing thou when i try to see a2sd information, it always gives me error... oh well, at least it works.
Thnx Guys

[Q] CWM 3.0.1.0 and CM7 no Davlik cache wipe

I have CM7 installed (latest nightly). When I reboot to CWM 3.0.1.0 with the SD card I used to originally install CM7, I can wipe davlik cache as per normal use.
When I reboot my nook with N key and power without my CWM SD card inserted I can do everything in CWM that I have tried, except wipe the davlik cache. When I press wipe davlik cache the screen blips for a second then just stays on that menu choice screen that contains wipe davlik cache. I don't get the yes no accept screen and it doesnt appear to wipe the cache.
What am I doing wrong? I assume it is something I do not fundamentally understand about how CM7 works with the different partitions.
There was a trick to this I read before but don't remember where. Try going up in the menus and unmounting the cache filesystem before doing it. It was something like that. I did it once, it worked, and then I promptly forgot it
For anyone else having this problem, an update to 3.0.2.8 through rom manager did the trick.

[Q] manage applications stuck in 'computing' help please

Captivate, build 1007, current rom cognition
I've gone back to stock with odin, things look normal, but when i root and flash back to a rom [cognition] i am unable to add few, if any apps. manage applications has any apps in this "computing" mode that never changes
when i try to wipe Dalvic cache, it appears to wipe, but "E: can't/ mount/ dev/ block/ mmcblk1p2 (file exists)" Does that mean i'm not really wiping dalvic ?
I've also wiped partition cache, formated system, data and cache, should i format sdcard?
I have several apps in TiBu, can i copy that folder back to the sd card if i format the sd card?
I've also also wiped data/factory reset ed from both CW recovery as well as in android.
This question has come up in other areas but with either no answers or to delete cache from market, which of i cannot do when it's 'computing'
Any thoughts or assistance will be appreciated
thanks
I'd imagine that you already found a solution to your issue, being that it was posted a while ago. I wanted to post what worked for me, with the same issue. Look in your SD card for a folder called .android_secure. There you will find all your downloaded apps, delete all the apps with a -2 in the extention. They are duplicate apps that have been stored. Once I deleted all thos it worked for me!

[Q] Full Wipe issue

Hello,
I was on stock Android 2.1 rooted + xRecovery + JIT + Link2SD.
I tried to install multiple custom roms (GingerDX 007, Floyo 1.0, FroyoBread 0.23) and did a Full Wipe in xRecovery (tried also CWM recovery from the Floyo).
There seems to be something "evil" going on, because multiple apps are still there from my 2.1 after full wipe or a full custom rom recovery. Some of these apps and/or services are crashing. And all of these custom roms are very laggy and slow as opposed to what I have read about them.
I do not understand why I cannot wipe everything out from my old installation.
Can anybody help please?
bump. bump.
Sounds like as you have some remains from Elcair on your SD card the new ROM somehow sees. After Full wipe (Factory Reset) and ROM Flash there shouldn't be any left-overs in the system or cache partition as xRecovery is formatting the NAND partitions.
Try backing up your data from the SD card and format it afterwards in Settings.
::: ROFL u hv to format partition... then it will not happen more
use MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition to format partition or delete all file from root explorer (sd ext)

Internal memory - Very strange case

Hello,
To make a long story short
Probably one of my installed apps is causing this problem I have (app2sd)
A few days ago I always got this "force close" msg for ALL of my apps.
I decided to factory reset - although it worked ALL the apps folders were not deleted from internal memory
BUT the apps are not there realy, just the folders.
I did a hard reset, the same.
all the info on the INTERNAL MEMORY comes back after any type of reboot.
Tried to FLASH and reinstall the ORIGINAL STOCK. -- NOTHING it doesn't work, I mean the new installation is but the apps' folders are STUCK on the internal memory of the phone.
Any help?
How can I really format the internal memory? flash it totally? I can't even re install the apps again from market, it doesn't let me.
help?!

If you are currently on Gingerbread 2.3.6, go into menu> settings > storage and format your SD card and settings privacy> to do a factory reset and erase all than try power down and boot into 2e recovery to do a wipe data and wipe cache and reboot phone to download mode and re-flash the ROM again and back to recovery again to wipe data and cache

[Q] Internal NAND is dead? Can't format data partition. Freeze and restart into CWM

Hi!
I have a little problem with my SGS. I used from a month CM 10.1 ROM and Semaphore 2.9.3 kernel. Today phone start up and after a few minutes restart into recovery. I tried reinstall ROM, recover backup etc but has no effects. I tried also flash Samsung JVP ROM (3 files, with re-partition) but phone restart like boot loop problem.... After all that i tried wipe all data/factory reset, format every partition. No errors shows in CWM but all data still are on partition data :/
Summary i can't format/erase data from partition:
data,
cache,
datadata,
sdcard (internal)
In CWM all partition format show results "Done" but data still are there.
But I can flash new system into system or new kernel into boot partition.
Any idea without NAND is dead ?
got pic on error? maybe dbdata
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Ok...
Actually a I have lastest CM 10.1 and Semaphore kernel 3.0.0
When I tired CWM/Mounts and Starage Menu/format /data
See first attachment
After I go to CWM/advanced/show log:
See second attachment
And data on partition /data are still there...
Hi,
could the warning in the second screenshot be the Problem????
Okay it's only a warning not an error...but maybe that is the prob...
I searched about this warring "Wipe via secure discard failed, used discard" but I not found anything useful.
That's Bad :crying:
Another idea: Flashing back to an older Version of CWM-Recovery and then testing if data partition can be cleaned up...
Another question is : what means the Option "Wipe via secure discard"??? what is the effect, anyone knows???

I tried that method clean up, factory reset/format with stock JPU and CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVP-v3.7-CWM3RFS, but no effects
I tried also with another Samsung ROM 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3...
