Granted, it's been a while since I researched this - but I learned many months ago that the version of VOLD in Froyo does not support anything else but vFAT - so it just won't mount EXT2, or NTFS for that matter.

the mount command would bypass VOLD and we know that NTFS should work, if it's a custom kernel. Conceivably EXT2 should also work, but since it was all manual scripting I just stopped researching it - mainly because I'd still have issues using the card with other devices so it wouldn't really be a portable solution anymore.

As much as I detest FAT32 for its file size limitations, it's still the "standard" between portable devices. The various vendors have yet to figure out a replacement, since they can't seem to agree on anything. :confused:
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadfraggle:
Figures. Never tried ext3, mainly because it's not a readily available option in Ubuntu. Tried to format to ext3 via the terminal but got a weird error, even after unmounting the drive:

"/dev/sdb is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here!"

So I booted in to Parted Magic with my netbook, wiped the sdcard, and created a new ext3 partition.

Success!!

The sdcard auto-mounts, and is accessible by Root Explorer, ES File Explorer and File Manager.

Ext3 will suit my purposes just fine. Sorry to make you write all the rest of your post, but it will be a handy reference.

Thank you a million times over!

@ roebeet

I'm humbled this post got your attention. Thanks for the great work!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wasserkapf:
The ext3 format was the default filesystem of Ubuntu, until just recently. It is generally considered better to use ext2 on a SD card. Since a SD card has a limited number of read/writes, a journaling filesystem like ext3/ext4 would use up the limited number of read/writes faster than using ext2. Also, never create a swap partition on a flash drive or SD card.

To format a SD card in Ubuntu, first determine the device name:

paul@eeepc:~$ sudo fdisk -l
[sudo] password for paul:

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 1 1998 16048903+ 83 Linux

My EEEPC has a 64 GB hard drive, and a 16 GB SDHC card. So the card I want to format is /dev/sdb1. Use fdisk again for the formatting, here are the steps copied directly from my terminal:

Run commands with root privileges (sudo).

Find the disk:

# sudo fdisk -l

Format the disk (sdb1):

# sudo fdisk /dev/sdb1

Command (m for help):d (delete any existing partitions)

Command (m for help):n (create a new partition)

Command action

e extended

p primary partition (1-4)

p

Partition number (1-4):1

Command (m for help):w (to write the changes to the disk)

Format the card. You may need to unmount it first:

# sudo umount /dev/sdb1

# sudo mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdb1

If your copy of Plants vs Zombies is crashing at the main menu (where you can set player names, click 'Adventure', etc..) when you choose to start a game, I've discovered the fix.

Open up a file manager app and browse to /system/app. I'm almost willing to bet that you will NOT find "SisoDrmProvider.apk".

PvZ needs this file installed to play properly, and it was either removed in a custom ROM you're running, or by you at some point in the past.

Unfortunately, it cannot be installed like a normal APK.

To re-install it, you need root access on your phone.

Download the file from this post to your PC, put it somewhere you can find it, and do this:

1) Connect your phone (with ADB Debugging enabled) to your PC.

2) Open a command prompt window.

3) Type these commands, one line at a time, to unlock the directory we'll be needing to write to:

adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
exit
exit

Yes, the second 'exit' is intentional. After the 'su' command, you may get a popup on your phone asking to grant su root access. Allow it.

Then, type this command in:

adb push C:\SisoDrmProvider.apk /system/app

Replace the "C:\" with wherever you downloaded the file to. You should get a message about some number of bytes pushed (around 18k) in some fraction of a second.

And one final set of commands to re-lock the area of the phone we were writing to. This is important, don't skip it:

adb shell
su
mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/stl9 /system
exit
exit

This should leave you back the Windows command prompt. Type exit one more time and it should close.

Reboot your phone and PvZ should now work properly!
[Epic 4G General] SpicyBurrito:
Nice find. Plant Vs Zombie didn't work for me period. It would crash whenever I clicked on the app no matter what I did. I ended up just wiping my phone and putting bonsai and well, it works flawlessly.
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Never knew people had problems with PvZ o_o. It's worked for me since the day I got it.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
Yep, some ROMs removed DRM content from running in the background because it caused noticable battery drain. It's recommended to freeze them with an app such as TI and then when you want to use a game that requires it, unfreeze the app.
[Epic 4G General] SweetBearCub:
I can understand that, but for me, doing that every time I want to play a certain game would annoy me greatly. Also, if this file has been removed, it can cause various music players to lock up on certain files.
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Or you can just kill the service. It won't run again unless you turn on your service after having no 3G or being in Airplane mode.

Works the same either way. Saves my battery life a LOT.
[Epic 4G General] SweetBearCub:
Not for me, lol. I removed the file I talked about in the OP and PvZ ceased to run properly. After spending a while troubleshooting it, I found the fix, so I'm sharing it here. :-)
[Epic 4G General] jojo08:
thanks for this! i really didnt want to start the game over but whats strange is it was working before and i had the drm frozen so not sure why the game froze when i got to level 4-9? (i think), anyhow defrosted the drm, restarted and game works again!

Hi. I know this forum is not for it, but I have the same problem with my Xperia Neo V MT11i .431 ICS 4.0.4, it crashes on startup screen, right after the popcap logo, the EA logo doesn't have the chance to appear. Last time it happened I fixed it by updating it from 2.5.x to 2.6.1 but now there's no updates for it, so after seein this post I was wondering whether or not this fix would work for me.

Please say yes :(

Thanks anyway!

I have no idea if it will or will not work for your specific phone. I only that it works on a 1st generation (circa 2010) Sprint/Samsung Epic 4G.

Touch and keep holding the clock/weather widget

Drag it onto "Edit"

Select your city

Remove the checkmark on "Show full sceen animation"

[HTC Sensation] DaDoctor:
Cheap weather animation?? Do you know that almost all other android phones are dying to have the smoothness of that what you called cheap weather on the S4G... Anyways, im not sure I understand where you are seeing the weather animation but here are the possible solutions:

1) If you are trying to disable the weather lockscreen, then just choose another lockscreen. (Personality > Lockscreen > Choose anything other than weather)

2) If you are trying to disable the live weather wallpaper, then just choose another wallpaper that isnt weather (personalize > Wallpaper > HTC wallpapers for example)

3) If you are trying to disable the weather animation caused by the flip clock, then from within your home screen, tap and hold the clock and drag it down to Edit. Select current location (if desired) then uncheck (Show Full screen animation)

Good luck to you...

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dunc001:
Can anyone explain to me why when I have a 1Gb Ext4 partition on my SD card with only 367Mb used I am getting Low Storage warning when restoring my apps (143 of them) through Titanium Backup onto a clean HardDroid2 CM7 build with A2SD flashed and confirmed working? When I check it states 199Mb used, 13Mb free but when I use Root Explorer to look into SD-Ext I have App, Private App, Data, Dalvik, etc and all of the app APKs appear to be in there. Am I missing something here? I had the same issue for the first time a couple of days ago when I reflashed Hyperdroid - never had it before, and always do full Task29/fresh MAGLDR/fresh CWM/CWM wipe wipe wipe/etc for each new ROM so SD Ext is always reformatted too. It's driving me nuts :eek:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
when you install an app, the size of that app gets knocked off the available space, but gets restored when you reboot, so try installing a few, check eth remaining space, then reboot, see if the reported space changes. (Ive never tested it myself, just repeating something i read)_
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] j4n87:
..also using app2sd and my phone mem seems to decrease also.

When i look into /data and /sdext i see in both the app folder with all apps installed.

but the used space seems to be bigger on the sd-ext.

...when you install e.g. Angry birds with 20 mb you will notice that your internal storage will NOT decrease to that amount: thats the reason why the data folder is smaller than the sd ext.

Seems so that parts of the apps are stored on the phone mem although we ve got app2sd with an sd ext.

Once i tried to delete that data folder, but then all apps stopped working.

In twyeens rom you can move your apps to sd, there was a fix some months ago, so that all apps runs fine from it also e.g. angry birds.

Part of the beauty of having WP7 on NAND and Android on SD is that you can have as many Android ROMs as you can fit on your card and you can boot into any of them as you please. But say I want to install Android on NAND. Can I still be able to have that one Android ROM on NAND, but multiple other Android ROM's on SD?

Simple... If I want to be able to boot into more than one OS, must I have WP7 on NAND? If so, is there any guide for this? I cannot find one in the main sticky.

You can have Android on NAND and as many sd builds as you want, same as with WP7. Until my HD2 broke a few days ago, thats just what II did, a DHD build, a MIUI build, and a CM7 build on sd, with UD on NAND. Just have to choose your AD SD directory in magldr's 'services', and then boot AD SD.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] how_weird:
I do not think you can due to the fact that you have to run the HARET program. It only runs under Windows Mobile as Android does not run .EXE files.

How do you partition your card for this setup? Is there a guide somewhere you can link here please? Or is it the same procedure you use to partition your card when you're running WP7 on NAND and Android on SD (which I've followed before)?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
As far as partitioning your card, with Android it's not necessary, you can do everything on a single Fat32 partition, unless you want to use A2SD then you'll want a single (primary) Fat32 and a single (primary) ext3 or ext4 partition for your apps/dalvik-cache. I recommend using DarkTremor's A2SD script with your NAND ROM, and if you use the DHD build in my sig, then it will automatically detect your ext3 and you'll automatically have the installed apps from your NAND on your sd build.

So I think I need to re-partition my phone. It's stuck with lagfix on (i've done both through cwm and manual ways to try to un-convert it), and there seems to be a few other miscellaneous things that seem to be weird - IE: Trying to do a dalvik wipe does nothing from CWM -- no menu or anything comes up (I click wipe dalvik cache and it instantly takes takes me out of that option through cwm). Also, when trying to install the phoenix rom, all the theme and skins seem to work fine, but the apps and storing any sort of data won't take effect (example, everytime i reboot it will ask me to set up my google).

So long story short, i want to re-partition through odin, do i need the pit, pda, phone, and csc files? Or can i just do it using the stock ee19 file (PDA and PIT only)?
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Use the Full EE19 package found in the stickied "get back to stock" thread. Tick the repartition box. NEVER put anything in Phone!!!
