I don't think this is possible , never heard of someone who did it
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
I have no idea how to do that. My question is... why would you want to do that?

Having an internal_sd partition adds the benefit of having big app data (such as those in Gameloft games) sit in a very fast partition and still be called "sddata".

Also, it's mountable via PC so everything in there can still be backed up. So it's best of both worlds really.
[LG Optimus 2x] sorech:
This was discussed some time ago in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1013575

There were ideas on how to remount the cards at boot. I myself come to the conclusion that since more phones start to behave in this way, app developers will have to start dealing with it. It just sucks they are mostly slow on the uptake. My main problem was the Spotify cache location being hard coded so I resorted to hack the Spotify apk.

PS. salisbury_steak: What is it with people like you that every time someone has a question on how to do something, your immediate response is "But why would you want to do that?!".
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
That was actually an honest question.

I wanted to understand why he wanted to do it. (i.e. What would be the advantages of it.) There was no supposed sarcasm in there.
[LG Optimus 2x] orlox:
how about the ability to install 5x more applications? :D
[LG Optimus 2x] gensplejs:
Having that stupid 5gb partition as sd card and the real sd card as a sub folder is retarded...

My 32GB class 10 cars is a lot faster than the internal one.

The internal 5gb memory is MUCH TOO SMALL!!! Most apps don't allow you to store data on the external card. If you like me and many others install some games that download aditional data + a nav app that downloads maps for europe + some streaming music app like wimp that can cache music for offline play then you are ****ed with LG's setup.

The setup CM7 uses solves the main problem but effectively wastes the 5gb by mounting it at emmc where like 0,0001% of apps are able to access it.

So adding those otherwise wasted 5gb to the main memory would be great. But i have not seen any solution to that yet :-(
[LG Optimus 2x] Pfeffa-rah:
Thank you Gensplejs for explaining that to them. I had no idea how to reply to that since it seemed so obvious to me.

This thread was ment to be a question about how to do it and not to discuss the usefullness of it. That is where I lost the way in other threads...

So, thanks for your replys all (realy).

But now, back On-Topic:

How would I do it?
[LG Optimus 2x] TheSSJ:
Please don't blame me if you tried it and you screwed up your phone..:D It's your choice...

Well, I don't know if this would work, but this is how I would do it (accepting the fact that I'd loose almost 2GB of /data's free space):

1. Format your internal sd card to the same file system as your /data partition is (ext3 or ext4)

2. Copy every file from /data 1:1 to your sdcard (cp -R /data/* /sdcard)

3. I don't know when and where the partitions are mounted (maybe init.rc??)...anyways change the target there and let /data point to the internal sd card partition (so it is ensured that it is mounted automatically to the new location)

4. Reboot and keep your fingers crossed
[LG Optimus 2x] orlox:
I think i figured how to do it in theory. First we need some free space at our microsd to cp /data. Then we should repartition with fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 and p9 into one partition and change vold.fstab to mount only externalsd at /sdcard as we do when we swap partitions. In theory it should work but i cant test it right now or make a script since ve gone vacations and i dont have a pc to restore in case of error
[LG Optimus 2x] ghadap:
I agree.. certain apps wont store to sdcard.. its better to use the whole 8gb as phone storage, and use external sdcard as default sdcard.
[LG Optimus 2x] orlox:
What ive found till now is that sd swapping is easy. You can do it by tweaking only vold.fstab. But repatriationing is a pain in the ass. Looks like lg has "faulty" partitions or something and to do it you must mesh up with with almost half partitions.

I had to rebuilt boot lgdrm recovery data and sdcard to make em half work. So it probably isnt worth the trouble. Also I think init.rc is built on the boot. So just remounting internal sd to /data wont work either.
[LG Optimus 2x] Mjuksel:
sectors is not space ;)

it says 7996, so thats 8GB
[LG Optimus 2x] orlox:
i saw it in hurry. the brain sometimes belives whats he want to belive :-P

New to XDA

Hello everybody,

I'm new to android and i'm trying to find out how to solve the problem posted in this thread.

I see you've got the awnser but i don't know how to do this.

I've been searching google and XDA for ever but i just can't find the awnser.

Could you make a step by step howto or point out to a post how to do this.

I mean converting your external sd to ext4 and change the mounting points.

I'm a complete nood, i didn't get adb to work on my pc, ext4 recovery is not for the p990 2x.

I've read something abbout changing fstap for swapping te mounting points for sdcard and emmc, witch is also ok for me, but formating to ext4... wel i frankly don't know how to do this.

I'm quite stuk on this.

The only partitioning experience i've got is Gparted in Ubuntu or repartitioning in Windows 7.

Thans in andvance!

Greetz,

JMG

check this

you can expand data partition , but there is a limitation of 1.75gb
[LG Optimus 2x] Jean Michel Gaar:
Thanks davjan

Thanks davjan,

As far i can see it's indeed not worth it.

I wil have to go on and try to find out how to change the filesystem to ext4 and swap the internal and external sd.

That way i get more usable space instead of a big datastorage witch cannot contain program data.

But thanks for the quick reply.
[LG Optimus 2x] davjan:
what rom are you using? is your phone rooted?

swapping internal with internal sd is very easy

and most of the roms here on xda are ext4 , if you instal one of them they autoconvert to ext4
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
I you read the link provided you'll see that it makes what you want: grow internal filesystem = lower SDcard usable space. The only thing is that it doesn't seem possible is to use the whole space: system limitation. 75Markus tried high /system and /data values and phone didn't work.

See in his Mediafire Folder, 'Nvflash + guide for changing Partitions:

http://www.mediafire.com/75markus

Ext4 is now common with custom ROMs (in fact all of them).

You should search in sd-ext partition system, which was designed to artificially expand filesystem on older phones using an 'ext' partition. I didn't heard anybody using this on O2X.

If you use CyanogenMod based ROMs, your external card will be mounted ad /sdcard by default.
[LG Optimus 2x] Jean Michel Gaar:
Switching internal and external SD

Thanks guy's,

I'll check it out.

I've been using cyanogenmod 7.1 stable with vorkkernel 20110208.

But that gave me batterydrains while using maps and nextvid ate the same time (while i'm driving).

Now i'm trying MIUI 1.11.11 with latest swift extreme.

But MIUI is very buggy so i'm thinking of going back to CM.

The only thing is that my phone won't boot with the latest vorkkernel.
[HTC Sensation] rwt4jc:
I was running LeeDroid and decided to go with a full wipe. After the wipe then comes the part where I flash the rom. CWM would not respond after that! I was stuck. I tried pulling the battery and starting over. Now no matter what I do I can't get past the green HTC screen. I've tried reinstalling CWM, then rerooting and flashing another build but no change! Help would be greatly appreciated. :o)

G0t fastboot and ADB?

try booting to fastboot and issue this command

fastboot erase system -w

if that doesnt do it try also

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase cache

Still not coming up trumps? Turn you phone off, plug it in and type

adb logcat > C:/Logcat.txt (presuming you have a drive labelled C)

Then post the file here.

[HTC Sensation] joseph_gee:
Have you tried using the RUU zip?
[HTC Sensation] bonesy:
I thought that would be the error in the logcat, From the fastboot commands it would seem you do not have S-OFF Hboot? Also i would re-download the rom as that error is usually when the /system partition is missing bits....

Either reflash the old RUU or you can try where it gets stuck typing

adb reboot recovery see if that boots into recovery..

Can you tell us what hboot version you have please?

Minor issue, its not a brick in the wall, its more like a chip on the brick. your brick needs repainting rofl

DOwnload a different rom, try andriod revolution hd.

follow step 2 of the sensation guide to reinstall clockwork

Full wipe in clockwork (How to do this is go to mounts, then format these individually, format boot, format system, format cache, format data)

Now install a new rom

wait 5 minutes it should boot.

Follow step 4 of the sensation s off guide to get adb running., you do not need thole android sdk toolkit. just follow step 4 and ADB will work

just flash it, then flash the ROM.

I take back every good thing I've said about EH06 working with Bamboozle. I went on my bi-weekly trip to NYC and had no problem locking gps. But it would drop after 5 minutes and I'd have to close Navigator and restart the trip. I received poor wifi signal in places where I normally am fine. And finally, and this one blows my mind....I lost 4G every 15 min. I'm in New York City. The best city in the world. In broad daylight. In the heart of downtown. I've never not had 4G in NY since I got this phone. I didn't like EG22 with bamboozle because it slayed my battery life and I don't like EH06 because it sucks. I'm gonna try EE03 with it, then back to SRF if it doesn't work out.

I am really confuse right now. I have htc sesnsation 4g us version and it is rooted. Yesterday i got this ota update on my phone. And i downloaded it and saved it on my sd card. But i am not sure should i do it or not.

If i update to 2.3.4, am i gonna lose root. And any other feature ?

Or is it better to update?
[HTC Sensation] stanleynhan:
you probably have s-off so why not just flash the TMOUS 2.3.4 roms that are on here?
[HTC Sensation] mabir:
i will try that .
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
I'm with Vodafone UK and PC Companion will now give us the official firmware update even though OTA will not.

It is still 2.3.3 but definately brings some new cool things. Here is what i've found so far.

UI Changes -

1) Finally we have landscape mode for the home pages. Unfortunately it only goes to landscape if you slide the phone open, it wont switch to landscape for me by rotating the phone. Cool nevertheless.

2) Smoother menu scrolling. Well it seems alot smoother for me anyway.

3) Themes - Basic bog standard themes, but they change the colours of all the menus etc. I didnt have this before the update, i am sure of it. (maybe my memory is wrong though).

4) New Timeout animation. It look cool ! Like an old CRT television turning off with the horizontal line disapearing into a small dot.

5) My keyboard no longer behaves erratically. For example, pressing "p" regularly printed a "Q" and a "P" for me. (pressing the right hand side of the screen in landscape mode activated the right and left hand side for some strange reason!). Very nice for me !

Settings Changes -

1) XLoud (found in the settings, sound menu). Apparently this does something to the speakers. Made ZERO difference for me. Mine was massively loud anyway, so i am guessing mine were already set up this way.

2) New silent mode in settings, sound (under XLoud). "All sounds except media & Alarms"

3) "X" takes pictures !!!!!! Now no need for camera mod, unless you want to use "R" trigger instead of "X". Me personally, will use "X". Great work by the camera mod dev anyway.

Apps and Software Additions -

1) Data Monitor Widget - It will only measure 3g, not WiFi, but i guess this is all we need. The widget definately looks cool. Now my main data monitor.

2) Qriocoty - A downloadable movies and videos app. You can either rent or buy.

3) WisePilot - Not sure if this is better than the navigation, i will test it next time i am on the road.

4) NeoReader - Bog standard barcode scanner

5) Store - Re-hash of market place i think. Not sure.

Who wants to add to things i have missed? There must be other stuff we have got? :)
[Xperia Play General] netorino:
Is there a way to disable the Timeout animation? I never really liked it in custom ROMs.

Also, to use the X we'll have to slide out the gamepad, we had to know SE would make it annoying before making it easier.

Lastly, thanks a lot of the list. Now I know what to expect and hope for it to reach my carrier soon.
[Xperia Play General] JasonG_:
Hasn't X always taken the picture? I can remember doing it on 2.3.2.
[Xperia Play General] GetPatriotized:
Yes,it was there the whole time. Been using it since I got my Play.

and 2.3.3? Isn't this 2.3.4? I'm on 2.3.3 and don't have that new xLoud feature :S
[Xperia Play General] subcu1ture:
2.3.4 isn't out till September.

It is SE system software update not android.

xLoud has been amazing, I used to think my play was loud but now it is actually like have a good portable speaker system.

There are also a few new widgets like Weather and Fav contacts

extension search app for timescape.

I don't have Qriocity :(
[Xperia Play General] bubblegumballoon:
I kinda worries me how xloud makes the speakers even louder, I remember there used to be jailbreak apps for the iphone which forced the speakers to go louder and on alot of peoples phones it would either break or ruin the speakers if used for too long.

anyway the xperia plays speakers are loud enough as it is :)
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
It dosent have to be a new version of android for sony to add features :p qriocity wont work with an unlocked bootloader btw :)

Yep that is what i said in my post...

Also my bootloader is still locked. I actually like the features of FiX for music etc.

I thought they stopped allowing unlocked bootloaders to update?
[Xperia Play General] The_Newtype:
I'm a noob.

Just because my phone has different software then what it shipped with means I've unlocked the bootloader? I haven't done anything to my device except load the UK firmware from the stock R800a (which was originally from the Google I/O conference/wasn't receiving FW updates).

I was able to update to 2.3.3 from 2.3.2 no problem.
[Xperia Play General] siddharthsai:
I'm confused here. I updated my play (R800i) via pc companion. Al I got with the new update is the lockscreen notification. No screen off animation, no additional apps. Am I doing anything wrong ?
