[Q] Bug or Good? - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello every one, this is my first thread on XDA
Well, I have the Xperia X8 (e15a) Black and I cant unloock bootloader,I have tested 13 ROM´s from diferent developers and there is something what I dont Understand...
Each time what I try to make full wipe/factory reset, when it comes the sd-ext appears: "ERROR MOUNTING SD-EXT, SKIPPING FORMAT" , so, when the ROM gets installed, all my apps appears like they been in internal storage instead SD and only fill a few MB of memory, but this only happens in ROM´s with 2.3.7 and Gingerbread classic style (black background)
When I try to install a ROM with 2.3.7 and kind of Xperia style (blue background) or different to Gingerbread style, says "ERROR MOUNTING SD-EXT, SKIPPING FORMAT" , but no apps are installed at the end and I cant access to sd-ext...
I cant post any Pictures, I dont know why
Can anyone explain me please?
this is a bug?,
is normal?
my SD is broken or something?
Thanks for yor attention
P. The only ROM´s which meke total full wipe , even my SD- ext are the Ginger DX

It isn't a bug dude. You don't have an ext partition on SD Card, so it is skipping.

well i must say that fist you need a ext2 partition in order to install apps on an SD card
the easy way to create an ext2 part is via the new open recovery it an the proses deletes all current data on your SD card so you must back it up (I also recommend a 2.1 custom room with this featured added, i personalty have 2.2 custom room on mine)
whats your main language (cuz it does not seem to be English) can you tell me which was your procedure
You sound like you're still in the beginning, so i got something for ya.
There's an app called iAPK.exe (version 0.2), if you can't find it on google, msg me and i'll pass it to ya.
All you need to do is fire up that app, (of course with phone connected), then simply drag any apk over it.

Ext4

I am using the newest cos 2.3.4 and I noticed when I move apps to the sdext 4 it dosnt change the internal storafe amount. But if I put them to just the sd it does show a change. Is there something wrong with my ext or is it just not showing right. Also what is the correct way to use the ext4 e.g. what apps to put there and wich ones to put on regular sd? Sorry I am a noob with the sd partitions.

Did u wipe before installing the Rom?
Did u follow these instructions as quoted from the OP of the COS-DS ROM?:
"DO NOT USE A2SDext scripts with this ROM , before playing around with your applications, enable move apps from COS settings, and choose SD-ext as defult in Settings/Applications. You can and should move apks from sd-ext to phone as you like (seams apps set on sd-ext also will set the dex there!)"
And concerning which apps to put on ext, and which to not, you can install all apps on your ext4, except ones that must run on internal memory, like phone, messaging, camera, etc.
Thanks for the reply. Yes I followed the guide to a "t"
It shows that I am using some space when I check the system storage but when I check where the apps are installed it only shows one on the sd. Maybe its just a glitch that don't show them in the manage apps screen. Either way gotta say I am pleased with the performance of the rom. One more question if you don't mind, why can't I download any of these through rom manager? Its always either corupted zip or download failed. But the cm roms download fine, any guesses?

Yea, roalex has done some amazing work.
That, I do not know. Maybe the mirror is not working, who knows,you should ask roalex. I just download all the builds on my computer and transfer them to my sd.

[Q] Problem with A2SD and ICS

Hey.
I have a problem with my N1.
I use the Evervolv Rom by Texas. Yesterday I the problem occured that it was impossible for me to install any app from the Market. Everytime I try a message "Not enough space" pops up. When I try to restore an app with Titanium Backup it loads for forever, but TB shows that there is enough ROM, Internal, A2SD storage available.
Then I tried several things like repartionating my SD-Card (using GParted - ext3 1,5 GB), using a different BlackRose hboot. I even tried this CM9 ROM, but the problem stays the same.
Now I have no idea how to solve this problem
Could my SD card be broken?
Greetings
crush41
did you activate the a2sd in terminal?

Yes, but i left the dalvic internal
You should try these:
a2sd install (folowed by "yes" and "yes")
a2sd xdata
It should give you a huge internal space.
Sent from my HTC Nexus One
Seems to help, but I find it unusual that A2SD did just now, and now despite the fact that i wiped several times it only works with this command.
Now several apps have a force close when i try to start them... i cleaned dalvic cache and cache but it stays..
ask the master himself or wipe everything 3X b4 you install rom if all else fails FLASH another rom if it continues then get a new sd card if that dont help your phone it self might be the problem .... just giving some ideas ....
A2SD and all it's info is here maybe this might help you bro http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715940 HOPE I HELPED IN SOME WAY
Thank you guys... I checked everything and now brought a new SD... looks good so far

[Q] link2sd help!!

i have sgm with sandisk 16gb class 4 sd card. using cwm i partitioned my sd to ext3 4096mb size and 0swap.
when i did this in stock rom(earlier) my phone was stuck in a permanent boot loop and i had to reflash stock rom using odin.
when i tried this with a rom (xtreme g 2.3.7) it worked fine (at least i think so coz sd size shows 11.01 gb from 14.83gb) i installed link2sd and started installing apps. whenever internal memory got full i would go to link2sd and move each app to sd by choosing move to sd card and then again install apps till my phone got stuck in bootloop i had to wipe data using cwm.
what is the mistake? is the partition too high or i made a mistake in link2sd or what?
PS could someone tell me how to use link2sd(which options to tick to make apps move to sd ext? ive googled a bit but cant find anything
Y dont u use s2e ... ? If u have rooted ur phone and have cynogen mod it should work fine ..... s2e is better bcoz it automatically stores everything on sd ..... just an opinion
Ps : i dont think there is a mistake in the partitioning process u followed....

[Q] JellyBean Rev. ROM - Internal Memory

Yes I know, it's another internal memory thread.. but I can't post on the original post about the JB ROM I use without 10 posts so I hope someone can help me here...
I'm using this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951086&page=50
It's the only ROM I've found till now that makes my very battered Ace actually run smooth (it was in a car accident.)
What I've done till now to increase internal memory:
- Used the CWM Recovery Mode to format an Ext on my SD Card
- used MiniTool Recovery Wizard to format an Ext on my SD Card, used Ext2/3 and 4
- Tried to flash the CronMod Int2Ext+ zip, but it's getting stuck halfway through
None of these methods helped any :/ is there a way to increase memory or am I stuck with 3-4 apps before it says "nope"?

?
You are using int2ext+ in a stock rom = Stability and NO problems
...
Let's start again.
Did you create a sd-ext partition? which format is it (fat,ext2/3/4?
How did you do it? Using mini partition tools is a piece of cake
How did you flash the script?

Uh no.. as I wrote in the original post
int2ext did not work, it's getting stuck halfway through
I created an sd-ext partition using both the CWM Recovery, then MiniTools Partition Wizard, after every try I deleted, formatted and reassigned the SD card back to its original state. I tried Ext2 Ext3 and Ext4.

I thought I answered everything XD but maybe you mean as to why I'm not using the stock rom and decided on a flashed rom?
Simply put because it lagged like hell, the mobile was in a car accident, ever since then the stock rom had nothing but problems, couldn't run any entertaining app without it crashing or lagging
So I decided to get a copy of the stock rom and format everything, then flash the stock rom back on it. It worked, the stock rom loaded, but the lag came back pretty quickly.
Then I went on to search for a rom that wouldn't lag, after a few dozen of failed attempts I used this one by pure coincidence and it works for me, it does not lag, it doesn't crash. Some games lag if I play them too long, but music and video runs perfectly.
But the internal memory was still an issue, I managed to get 1024MB of internal memory on another semi-stable rom a few weeks back using the CWM Recovery tool for creating an ext3 partition. This does not work anymore on this rom, I also tried to get ext2/3 and 4 with MiniTools PArtition Wizard on the card but the internal memory stays the same.
When I tried to flash Int2Ext+ inside the recovery it just stops at a halfway point and shows "4ext: disable_scrn_update" and stays there forever, the little yellow bar in the background moves to around half, then stops there. I waited 30 minutes but no change, then I restarted the phone and there is no change to internal memory.
That is the whole story

LOL!! I was meaning "how to do things"
How did you flash the script? It isn't answered yet
....
Btw let's start
1. Backup your current data
2. Reflash the rom
3. Flashing the script:
>>> mount data
>>> mount system
>>> mount sd-ext
>>> format SD-EXT (YOUR EXTERNAL PARTITION, NOT YOUR SD!)
4. Flash the script!
AFAIK int2ext+ script works with ext2/3 and ext4 partition (so It is the best to avoid troubles, or simply use int2ext4+ [only works with ext4 partition] )
5. The script should work fine, JB Rev rom use BE kernel, so you won't get any trouble
But I said that already :/
I restart my phone into CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.6
I mounted and formatted everything you just said multiple times
then I go into "install zip from sdcard" -> "chose zip from sd card" -> CronMod - Int3extv2+ / Int2ext4+
then it disables the screen update and installs in the background but stops at around half and doesn't budge for hours until I remove the battery and force a restart.

If THE STEPS I POSTED DOESN'T WORK...
Extract the script and paste it in /system/etc/init.d folder and set the permissions
Code:
x - x - o
x - o - o
x - o - o
The reboot your phone
It should work too!
