Is that some kind of partition? What's the deal? Why use it?
Also, is there a way to detect "loss" (undetectable) EXT?
They are just Linux partitions. I'm no chef but I believe apps2sd is simply a hack to get Android to read the file systems.
AFAIK you can't detect a "lost" partition through Android as it us only configured to read FAT.
Hi all
I am using HTC diamond P3700 currently with windows mobile 6.5 installed, but now i would like to experience Android on my phone, and I am going to install the following version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780130
I noticed that I have to create an Ext2 partition on my HTC internal memory first, and it requires gParted which is under Linux platform. Since I am using Windows 7, so I used VirtualBox to create a virtual environment to install Ubuntu.
Now, i am facing the problem that my gParted doesnt detect the connected HTC diamond.
Could anyone please kindly instruct me to solve this problem?
Besides, the ext2 partition tutorial is in some language which is not english, so could anyone please write a quick english tutorial?
Many many thanks in advance!!
I changed from FAT32 to ext2 partition in Windows 7 using: Acronis Disk Director Home. and I was able to install android without any problem.
thanks, I will give it a try first. is it straight forward?
btw, so are you using Android on HTC diamond please?
May I know what ROM and android you are using please?
can you guyz tell me that where should I put my downloaded android file into:
I mean should I put it in ext2 or fat32................
did you mean there will be no fat32 anymore...............is it???

Hi there
I saw you successfully installed Android on your phone, could u mind to tell me which WM Rom you are using please?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780130&page=3
I also wonder may I auto boot Android when I start the phone, using something like Gen.Y DualBOOT, if so, how to do it please?
By the way, did you create your ext2 under Linux gParted? do you know how to do it on windows?

im using the original WM 6.1 rom on my diamond................
you can't use the auto boot android directly because you have to do the partition and then you have to install the android boot first.......... after this things step are complete then you can boot android from Haret...........
I used MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition v 5.2 for the partition step on windows 7................... but to see the ext2 partition you have to install Linux on your pc.
for the partition watch this.........http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyO6DOS1leQ................
and for the instillation part and things just follow this steps............
1)Create an EXT2-Partition with a minimum size of 300MB (see video-tutorial in this article)
2)Download Neopeek Android Installer
3)Extract npkinstall.zip to the root of your internal memory / sdcard
4)Download Haret-Paket
5)Extract contents of Haret-Paket to the root of your internal memory / sdcard
6)Now Download latest CyanogenMod6-Port or any other Android (please have a look into our community. There are lot of builds available). Now rename this download to androidinstall.tar.gz and put it into the npkinstall-folder. There are several Text-Files in this folder like diamond.txt, raphael.txt etc. Just rename the one that matches your device to startup.txt.
7)Now run install.exe within the npkinstall-folder. Your device will reboot when it has finished installation.
8)Move to the root of your memory where you have extracted Haret-Paket
9)Locate Startups-Folder and copy the startup.txt which matches your device to the root of your memory
10)Now run Haret.exe from the root of your memory and Android should boot up! That's it.
this step are originaly taken from http://www.neopeek.com/en/stories/android
i hope I helped you a little
so let say I have successfully boot Android on my phone via HaRet, may I use Gen.Y DualBOOT later to boot into Android automatically?
or the only way to start Android is still manually start HaRet under WM please?

My experience told me that,
First you have to create the FAT32, and the size doesn't really matter, but it is your Android internal storage, which can be shown in Windows.
Second, you create the ext2, size between 300mb to 512mb, this can NOT be shown in Windows.
Third, the linuxswap, 64mb (I think is definite, cant be randomly selected)
After all this, u should be ready to do the rest

did you leave the fat32?
if you do, then try to format your internal storage or try to connect in linux/ubuntu

I have windows XP SP3 and i am using Minitool Partition. Below were the steps taken,
1 - Formatted the Inetrnal Storage.
2 - Resized it to 3.20GB Fat32
3 - other unallocated 500MB changed it to EXT2
4 - and some 64MB under Linux Swab
Once this is done and when i try checking on the phone in file Explorer..i dont see the Internal Storage to run the files..its completely missing.
I reformmated the whole thing to Fat32 and now i am able to see it under File Explorer...Just wondering what did i miss out...as i know some of us were able to pass through this.
HI I am My htc touch diamond is not detected on windows 7 via usb cable. it seems to be some hardware issue.
can I still partition the internal memory? I am able to connect to Windows via Bluetooth(Windows Mobile Device Center)
Please help.
I installed XServer and XTerm and Ubuntu Chroot, then got LXDE on there. It runs fine, but I used WebOS Doctor to make a 4GB EXT partition by editing a text file in Linux. I followed a tutorial to do this awhile back. Now I want to tri-boot the actual 0.0.4 Ubuntu, CM9, and WebOS. 1. Is this even possible? 2. Will the 4GB EXT interfere with anything and what do I have to do to that partition?
Bump, sorry, but I really would like an answer.
I have no idea, but you might want to try posting you question on the "How to triple boot cm9, webos & linux" thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1536441
I have a 64 GB Touchpad. Originally I had created a 10 GB extf3 partition for Ubuntu on it. Then, with Android ICS working quite well, I deleted Ubuntu and recovered the partition. In WebOS the system information says 64 GB. But I cannot actually use the recovered 10 GB, Internalz Pro reports only 47 GB and so does Android. So the 10 GB are still unformatted? The WebOS Tailor app is not working for me, so how can I revover the lost space and make it usable again?
Perhaps I can do it from the terminal with WQI?
Thanks for your help

Try taking the card out of the phone. Use a card reader on your computer and use mini tools partition program. It should do the job.
Make a backup, in case things go South...... Good luck.

Sorry, you misunderstood. It is the Touchpad, not the Pre. The Touchpad has no card, only the internal flash memory.
with the touchpad mounted on your PC, does it show 64?
(mount it in recovery)
does webos doctor fix it?

Mounted from Android it reports 45.2GB, connected via WebOS it is the same. How do you mount in recovery? When I am in WebOS recovery mode the PC doesn't recognize the Touchpad.
I didn't run the doctor yet, would the doctor fix this and reformat the partition?
in clockwork recovery, you can mount usb drive by entering Mounts and Storage option and choosing Mount Usb, and it will be visible to your pc. but it sounds like you might have an invisible partition, in cases of that partition being on a sdcard it took a special program on the PC to repartition the sdcard to recover the size.
you can't format the touchpad without losing everything, i don't think that would be safe but i haven't tried it. if anybody claims to have done it safely then they will hopefully chime in
you can run the webos doctor safely though and it might fix the partition, your only loss would be reinstalling Android the original way
Hi everyone,
As Samsung recently pulled the plug for Linux on Dex support for android 10 adding to the limitation of not being able to run x86 software on linux on dex due to the arm architecture It got me thinking if I could repartition the internal storage and basically use it as an external hard drive that I could install linux on and boot into it from a computer.
I am not talking about the idea of creating a live usb like we can do with DriveDroid. I am looking for some persistence so I can save settings and some files on the linux distro too!
Thanks in advance for any ideas or suggestions!
