Superwipe is over kill lol good if your using another form of recovery that doest wipe all the way. Amon is fine to wipe. Worked for everyone else.

I did go by tech steps but ended up screwin the pooch on my partiton misread something that was my fault.

So i based this off his guide which was viruses orginal guide :D just redid it made it more simple for the new folks.

DO NOT UPGRADE Ext 3 to Ext 4 WILL FUC$ YOUR day UP if you upgrade those so don't.

Superwipe isn't needed. Amon wipes fine. And you do not need to partition EXT2 TO EXT 3 3 TIMES NOT NEEDED.

This guide has worked for many and is easy. You can do this for synergy if you want to partition is th same. I just posted this for the new users of Kingdom alot of people were doggin the rom and the dev because they screwed up the partition and the boot locked up on them they got stuck on the white HTC Screen.

So now that everyone has things working and understands how to do this there happpy and the happy with the rom. It's easy steps. If you screw up the partition not hard to fix.

I just got tired of seeing folks bad mouth the rom and virus because they messed something up and went around hammering the threads.

Virus is a bad ass DEV man does some great sick work :D I have been trying to help everyone on the thread so they are happy and know how this rom works and collect bug details and nail them and attempt to fix.

Most of the time someone that has alot of lag or issues forgot to wipe the cache and dav cache when applying patch or a fix. Synergy Latest PRI works fine.

So have fun this guide was made to help everyone out that doesn't know how to partiton and have fun. With less confusion and st8 forward guide.

Made it easy for them. Techs guide is good based off virus guide he had up orginally lol so guides are based off alot of other guides. I just broke this one down to make it simple and easy. So noone will mess it up. Anyway get on SYNERGY or Kingdom and have fun.
[EVO 4G General] DarthBelan:
Thanks for the help. It's always fun learning to mod a new phone. Think I might up the partition to 4096 Mb (4 gigs) though.
[EVO 4G General] Jerz:
ahhh.... Kingdom SWEETNESS! This rom rocks! Thanks for all the work and the noob guide!
[EVO 4G General] dgrobe2112:
Can i partition after i flashed the rom?
[EVO 4G General] vasick1:
Great Steps! Very Ease to Follow.
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
No not a good idea do this be4 you flash. Also make sure to back up your SD card everything on it move to the computer because partition will erase everything.
[EVO 4G General] Runelaron:
so i understand, what are you doing by upgrading ext 2 - ext 3?
[EVO 4G General] du5tinnew:
Sorry

Super noob here. ;)

Ughh so I rooted and flashed the other night,

completely forgot to partition the memory card...

Now I'm kinda wondering what I can do to fix this situation

safely. I love the ROM, it's amazing, but I have a feeling I definately

need to partition though.
[EVO 4G General] ew1090:
its basically a newer version of ext2 better reliability better performance. theyre linux filesystem types.

i also wanted to point out im pretty sure this works the same with CWM recovery just it doesnt ask you to upgrade from ext2 to ext3 it automatically formats sd-ext to ext3.

on the subject of swap space, i thought android didnt use swap partitions?
[EVO 4G General] ricardod1:
I'm kinda new still at all this but i have a good understanding. with the terminal emulator app i have given the commands to install all apps to the ext3 and doesn't seem to be working any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
[EVO 4G General] k2buckley:
Did you get any errors after entering the command? What is leading you to believe that it's not working correctly? A tad more info would be phenomenal.
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Thanks for helping out on the thread my man.
[EVO 4G General] vmdoug:
Awesome instructions! Thanks for posting...waiting for my first boot "unquietly rooted"
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:

still have less than 100mb

I must have done this 50 times and after i flash the ROM i still have less than 100mb for my apps, how much room should I have available for my apps ?
[EVO 4G General] mdwoods:
Just out of curiosity. My sd card is partitioned as it came from the factory. Any issue with going back to the stock 2.3.3 rom after partitioning? Also i assume that my nandroid will work just fine of my current setup once i copy it back as the nandrood is not backing up the sd so it does not care.

Just want to make sure I can go back if i want.

Mike
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
How many apps do you have ? I have 200 mb left of internal space. I partitioned 2 and a half gigs and left swap to 32 . When you re partitioned did you wipe your SD card prior to doing it.
[EVO 4G General] Slatter39:
I have 211 of internal memory used and 215 left.

My only question is instead of 7.40GB max on SD card, after partitioning, i have 5.2GB. Is that normal? This is with a stock SD Card.

Hey Reaper, You are the ****znitz. Good Job man.

This makes the install process so easy a caveman can do it.
[EVO 4G General] DarthBelan:
That sounds normal to me, as you repurposed 2 gigs to the ext3 format. Your phone is reading what's left of the Fat32 partition.
[EVO 4G General] koolhand79:
Ive given up on this process. Ive done it 3 times and haven't skipped any steps, yet wen i check in terminal emulator it always says a2sd not found. In titanium it shows the partion as being there but nothing seems to install to it.
[EVO 4G General] DarthBelan:
I don't think the actual a2sd program is installed, just a2sd style scripts to move the programs automatically.
[EVO 4G General] Edgie311:
I also did the same thing, I missed the partitioning sdcard step.

What would be the best way to correct this issue. Could I do the following?

1. Wipe & flash a different ROM

2. Partition card

3. Flash Kingdom again

??

Also what is the downside of not partitioning, the ROm is running great. Is it just the internal storage is small?
[EVO 4G General] Joey_UFC:
why can't every thread be as clean and simple as this. it would make the world a whole lot easier.

Reaper...i could kiss you right now
[EVO 4G General] abusedcloth:
Great guide.... Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] jbiddy4:
It's taking a very very long time to copy the sd card back over to the phone which is still in recovery mode with usb-ms enabled

am i doing something wrong? any help is appreciated
[EVO 4G General] nohler:
Kingdom is very sweet...but is is slow for you?

This has to be the best ROM I've ever seen.

That said, It seems a bit slow on my EVO.

I used the same settings as the first post, but It gets really slow some times.

Are the bottlenecks that I can address to speed it up?

I've using 1.3B

I haven't found the notes for 1.4 yet.

Do you guys like it?
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Thanks man :D always try to keep it simple and painless.

Lmao on the kissing death .
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
No your fine man more **** u have on it the longer it takes to copy .
[EVO 4G General] ianelectro:
Awesome guide Reaper! I just have a few questions to clarify some of the comments, and some that haven't been asked yet.

#1- I assume 200 mb left refers to space BEFORE installing apps? I had the same but after apps its more like 156 with 405mb of my partition used up. I assume this is because of parts of the apps needing to remain on internal?

#2- All the a2sd commands in adb shell work except that the swap part. is never found and all swap commands fail. Is this because I set swap size to 64 by accident?

#3- My RAM is super low on this ROM, maybe its just the combo of widgets and apps I use but I only have between 70-100 mb of RAM free. I notice sense burns 80mb on its own.... Is this normal?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

[EVO 4G General] mrkevo3000:
What radios are y'all using on this rom? Is it the stock 2.15.00.05.02 for gb?
[EVO 4G General] mrkevo3000:
Okay I think 1 step is missing from instructions, after step 8. mount your card, then step 9. should be to go to top of RA and enable USB-MS to move all files back to SD card..... I didnt know after step #8 if I was to reboot to my rom and install all my items or if was to stay in RA and flash the 1.77 then reboot, but I slid through RA and found this option.... Im a noob to partioning that's why i think that particular step needs to be a lil clearer:)

Thanks Reaper, the guide is very easy to follow!

im having problems flashing VR Kingdom REVOlution 1.3. I keep getting HTC Evo 4G White bootscreen and keeps restarting back to the bootscreen every 20 secs. these are the steps i took.

Used AmonRA2.3

1.)backed up SDcard

2.)Booted into recovery

3.)Partitioned SDcard - Swap 0MB, Ext2 2048MB

4.)Upgraded SD:ext2 to ext3

5.)Selected Mounts, Mount /sdcard (showed "unmount /sdcard")

6.)Selected USB-MS Toggle

7.)Copied PRI 1.77 Downgrade and VR Kingdom Revolution1.3

8.)Flashed PRI 1.77 Downgrade and rebooted

9.)Wiped: ALL userdata/factory reset

cache

dalvic cache

sdcard:android_secure

boot

system

data:battery stats

data:rotate settings

10.)Flashed Rom and rebooted

now i have the white bootscreen loop. did i miss/mess up anything?
[EVO 4G General] steffysdaddy:
I had the same problem today with this looking for a fix as well keeps looping the white screen.

figured out the white "htc evo 4g" bootscreen loop problem. its hboot version, i had hboot v.79 and had the bootloop and i flashed to hboot v.97 and it solved the problem. should work for everyone. just flash from recovery and reboot and your all set. heres the link where i found hboot and other stuff you might need.

[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
You did everything right man. Sorry for the slow delay been bouncing all over the threads. There was one kingdom well two of them that were causing boot issues it was a memory problem virus fixed it and took it down.

Some folks went crazy posting links to there own servers and posting them on the threads so someone could of given you a bummed version of kingdom..

I have seen your last post about the Hboot thing. I used caluks combo zip for the radios update this also updates your hboot :D and everything else that was needed.

No one had the issue you were having glad you nailed your issue man with the Hboot.
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Thanks best thing to do is mnt sd card copy all your stuff back to your card wipe like normal then flash the PRI 1.77 then the ROM the GFX fix is not needed on the newest kingdoms......
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Make sure you are not running any antivirus will bog your phone down. Your mem sounds normal to me mine was always around 110 mb to 80 mb ram was 220mb .

Depends on how many apps widgets you are running I like to keep my stuff clean and not loaded with crazy apps lol. Just like my computer smooth and sexy with everything I neeed not loaded with stuff.

Yours sounds like it running good if you get a low mem message let me know.

Error on partitioning and Ext2- ext3

I am receiving the following error after I partition the SD card and attempt to do the EXT2 - EXT3 upgrade:

E:Error in CACHE:recovery/log

before that it does say it was complete...etc.

Anyone seen this?

I was receiving this error when I tried to flash Synergy Kingdom as well, but the ROM booted up and worked fine.
[EVO 4G General] danielt14:
Reap, do you have your EVO 4G Still? I think I read somewhere you traded it? Well do you remember when you partitioned your card to 2.5gb's how much did u really use of that 2.5, and about how many apps did you have? Just curious? Also I notice that i have my card right now as a FAT32. Is there a reason why I cant Partition my Card using a partition manager? Im picking up a 16gb today so i want to put 2gb as ext2 and the main as FAT32. or should i just stick with amon ra?
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Sup man i had all the normal apps and about 6 others never went crazy with the apps. Like my phone clean and neat . I still had a **** load of space left over along with RAM memory was 110 mb dropped to 90 at times but everything worked fine. SD card had plenty of space . I would stick with amon I miss it lol . I did move to a EVO 3D kingdom got me craving one :D

Sorry been slow to respond been gettin things ready for a my wife and I we have a baby girl due in August been preparing things.
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Did you back up ur card then wiped the SD card along with everything else then did the partition and the ext2 to ext 3 . Try that
[EVO 4G General] droidhype:
Great guide reap, worked like a breeze.
[EVO 4G General] rizzoads:
Still not working for me... The ROM installs, but after I install my apps, I'm running out of memory. In Titanium, I can see that nothing is being put on my A2SD partition--everything is going into internal storage, and it's full.. Thanks for the tutorial though.
[EVO 4G General] lordtinuviel:
great guided works like a charm!!! I got a question I'm using synergy and I was thinkin to flash CM7, or decks ROM, is there something I have to keep in mind before going back to a non-sense rom since now I have my card partitioned?

thanks in advanced!!!
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Your fine man nothin to worry about .

The guy above that is running outta space how many apps are u running? Also are you on kingdom or synergy ? Synergy uses the dark tremor way like cm7 for the a2sd from what I remember virus talkin about unless he changed it recently.
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Anytime man glad you liked it how you doing ? Still on kingdom :D Im believe it or not rolling to the epic phone. Selling the EVO 3D :D
[EVO 4G General] elnene20:
Reaper24 or any one that would like to answer, I followed your steps to the T.. Everything seem to go okay. I see that it is partitioned but when I go ahead and load all my apps. I get a low memory.. I partitioned a 4gb out of a 16gb card hoping that that would be plenty. What am I missing? Thank you for the instructions..
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
What rom are you on kingdom or synergy? Virus changed it a bit on the partition its like cm7 dark tremor way there is a cmd for it I think.

HipKat has a guide up for synergy its pretty much the same as mine just he knows the cmd line you need to get the partition to work right.

This guide works pretty much for anyrom with a automatic script for A2SD, that was how kingdom was done from what I recall thanks. tho for using the guide man.

Thanx, I am using this rome here----> [ Kinged HateSLINGER RLS-2.1 ][ Kinged Kingdom RLS-2.1 ODEX ] 3.0 Sense ROMS 7/23/11

Could you post a link for me of what you are refering me to? Thank you for the help its greatly appreciated..
[EVO 4G General] conman123:
May I ask why you set swap at 32mb? Is it because you have a larger sd card? If not, maybe any benefits rising from that? On the other note, GREAT guide. I am in love with Kings ROM's. :D
[EVO 4G General] tgeigel:
If I partition my sd card how will that help me with my internal memory? I have enough space on my sd card but my internal memory is super low.
[EVO 4G General] delows123:
Great instructions Thanks for posting it, I love that's ROM followed the instructions exactly and had no problem the ROM is running smooth as H!!!!! for me. No mms but that's OK. I knew that was going to a problem seeing that i'm one of those Metropcs user LOL.
[EVO 4G General] tgeigel:
Plz help I don't understand when you say to mount the SD card. He do I do that? When I out it in ny computer it wants to format it. When I go into amon RA and press mount SD nothing happens.

Edit: Nevermind I figured it out thanks to a previous post. Didn't know I had to toggle USB setting in recovery.

But when I tried to copy all my stuff back it said I didn't have enough memory. I copied the instructions carefully. Why is it saying I need more space?? :-(
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Think I fixed you up the other day.
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
That is right lol think it's a known issue for metropc users.
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Larger SD card you would wanna leave the swap at 32 tho you can put it on zero.

It gets mind boggling when you read up on it on google.
[EVO 4G General] rudiepoo1:
I have a quick question. I'm currently running the Kinged HateSLINGER RLS-2.1 Rom and didn't find this procedure until now. I haven't tried the procedure yet but I'm going to as I'm not partioned and do get the low internal memory notification currently with the stock SD card. My question is, is it absolutely necessary to flash the pri downgrade? I'm not sure of the exact procedure with this if so in relation to the procedure I followed to flash this current Rom.
[EVO 4G General] rudiepoo1:
I'm trying this now and when I select mount sd card and hit power to confirm it brings me to other options where I selected mount sd card external. Is this correct??
[EVO 4G General] Harlemhunni328:
Upgraded SD:ext2 to ext3... maybe Im missing something here. How do you do this again ? My phone wont boot ?
[EVO 4G General] rudiepoo1:
So I tried this but not sure I did it correctly. When I look at my phone's internal storage I only have 71.47 MB available and the only app I could move to external was the Netflix app which I did. My SD card shows a total space of 5.48 and 5.22GB available.
[EVO 4G General] rudiepoo1:
Ok, I did find some more apps I could move and did so. Now the only sizeable apps that are internal in which I've left are voicemail, HTC sense & youtube. Wasn't sure if these would run better leaving them where they are. As of right now I have 92MB free which still doesn't seem like much after following the formatting process. What is typical for everyone regarding the internal storage?

Got a question I want to run by you so I make sure I know what I'm doing. :p

I just picked up a new microSD card, so it's fresh and clean. I backed up my current 8MB one to a folder on my PC. All I really need to do is just insert the new, clean one and partition it per the above instructions, correct? Then I copy my old card's apps and files to my new card, and everything should be good to go?

Note: I'm not flashing a new ROM just yet--that will be later possibly. I'm currently on Myn's WarmTwoPointTwo.
[EVO 4G General] Lord Darth Vader:
Disregard. Dumbass me. :p
[EVO 4G General] Exiled44:
I don't understand why i have to put EVERYTHING back on to the SD card. Why would i have to put my pictures,music Ect back on? I want to start fresh with a few things, if i don't put it back on how would it mess anything up? Lets say i switch Roms from a sense 3.0 to a 2.1 Do i leave the SD card partitioned like it is or do i have to revert back? This will work for all 3.0 sense roms right not just Kingdom? We have to downgrade the "PRI to 1.77, downgrade is recommended", then when we flash a Rom it changes it? Before we flash ANY Rom we have to flash PRI to 1.77 or is this a one time thing? Just curious want to make sure i know everything before i partition my SD card. Thanks

Gotta work out the buggs.

I'm not bad mouthing V in anyway. I love this Rom and just want it to work. But I have a list off issues. 1.) The Rom refuses to go to the partitioned segment of my SD card so I'm sitting at 320 MB used and 84 MB free right after first boot up with nothing on the device but what was in the Rom zip package. 2). When i click on the personalize icon ,from the main sense screen, it takes me to a website called infectedROM. 3). When I click on that Rosie Settings icon from the app drawer, it takes me to the Urban Dictionary sit showing the definition for the word "kang" after displaying "You are running a KANGED version of Rosie settings". Other then that, I love this Rom. if I could get those issues fixed, it would be my perfect daily driver. keep up the good work V.
[EVO 4G General] infamousteeboy:
I got some real quick question this 1s the 1st time I'm attempting to partition and I was wondering if I partition my SD card and don't back up the files onto the PC and partition what would happen? I mean I know the SD cars gets wiped but it doesn't touch the ROM I'm running right or wrong?
[EVO 4G General] linsalata28:
No it shouldn't touch your internal memory and that's where the rom your on is.

But you will lose anything on your card.
[EVO 4G General] infamousteeboy:
Dammit I just flashed CM7 after posting that lol is that internal or SD?
[EVO 4G General] linsalata28:
After you flash the ROM any ROM its on your internal memory.

[EVO 4G General] mbquimby:
I hate to give this thread the the zombie treatment but I have an issue and I haven't been able to find an answer (I learned to look for the answer on the noob video, lol).

I followed the instructions exactly and everything worked well up until I flashed the ROM itself. It loaded by I am getting an error message every second that that has a triangle with an exclamation mark in it.

At the top of the message it reads: Add "%s" to dictionary

Under that in the message box it reads: Low on space

Under that there is a button that reads: Clear default in Home Settings > Applications > Manage applications.

It was difficult to get to the manage applications function with the error message continuing to pop up but I am there. I don't know what it means by "add %s to dictionary" or "clear default".

Any help would be AMAZING!

Thanks to the developer and to the sight as a whole. The info here in this step-by-step has been worth its weight in gold and I'm thankfull there is a community to go to for this type of support.

-Mark
[EVO 4G General] linsalata28:
I'm not sure what that message is but first I would start with going back into recovery and wipe cache dalvik cache then fix permissions.

If that doesn't work I would wipe everything again and reflash the ROM also make sure you don't have a bad download of the ROM by checking the md5 sum.

What ROM did you flash?
[EVO 4G General] mbquimby:
I'm not sure what you mean by "fix permissions" but I'll check it out.

I flashed PrimeXL_v4.0r39 .... I hope that answers your question. I'm not exactly a tech-savy person.

Thanks clicked
[EVO 4G General] linsalata28:
I never ran that ROM so you might want to ask in that thread.

To fix permissions from recovery if your using amon ra its under other and called fix uid mismatchs but if your using cwm recovery I couldn't tell you cause I don't use it.

You can also do this from rom manager or rom toll box both free on the market.
