Use Partition Wizard Home (Free) to resize your FAT32 partition and create your Ext(whatever your kernel supports) partition on a windows machine.

No need to back up. Doesn't destroy partitions.

My preference is Link2SD free from the market.

You can mass move your apps, dalvik cache and library files to the Ext(Probably Ext2 with stock rom kernel) from the SD card and internal to your Ext partition very easy.

Also you can set it up to auto do this when new apps are installed and choose which apps you want to keep fully internal for faster booting, startup, etc.

Is this the same question from two different people or one person logged on as two different people?

If your card is corrupt and can't be read try a program like Recuva on the PC (free) to get your files from it.

Okay, I will get her phone on Thursday and try app2sd. :D
[HTC Wildfire S] raven.warsong:
sorry different person. Got a new card read sd card checks out after partion it will just not read the card can all kind of test on the card formated changed partion back to fad 32 it will just not read the card mounts in windows just fine.
[HTC Wildfire S] Exleh:
The card shows up and reads in windows?
[HTC Wildfire S] raven.warsong:
yes and cant be read after any changes with mini tool partion wizard

if I make partions with windows storage manager it works fine. The only problem with that is windows see more that one partion on what it considers removal meda but cant create edit or change it. so gess im searching for a new partion tool or get some bootabe image of a linix distro and try it from there
[HTC Wildfire S] d33ps1x:
Active partition, Fat32 and Primary partition?

Format it in windows using the partition software I mentioned and make sure it is:

1/ Fat32

2/ A Primary not a Logical partition

3/ Make it the Active partition
[HTC Wildfire S] raven.warsong:
thanks I have been working on it and got it to see the sd card

what about the 2 partion should it be ext2 ext 3 or fad 32 I guss it dose not matter I have tried all 3 but link2sd will not see the 2 partion

---------- Post added at 09:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:02 PM ----------

[HTC Wildfire S] Exleh:
Choose EXT3
[HTC Wildfire S] Exleh:
Sorry for the double post but you have to be rooted from what I understand. There is also a script or application that you have to use to move the apps and you MUST be rooted.

Or go to your mobile provider and buy Galaxy Nexus on contract or something.

But if u want to buy now why don't you just buy Nexus S or Arc S ?

What is ADT ROM based on....what's different from Samsung or aosp ?? Mostly what's ADT
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
ADT is a development team, they have made Roms such as beast mod and now paradox.

Every ROM is based off of Samsung stock base except for CM7, MIUI.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Watcher64:
A true samsung ROM is a stock rom, unchanged except whatever Samsung did to it before leaving the Factory ...

AOSP, is STOCK Barebones Android ..

As far as the other naming, best explanation is that there is NO explanation, the devs that make the custom ROMs name them what ever they want.. Sometimes it is named after the Team that made it, the person that made it, or the general idea behind the ROM ...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rab1412000:
In the settings > privacy tab there are these options :

What exactly do these do? Does keeping them activated use more battery and processing power? Is it recommended to uncheck them?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
First copies all your app's data to Google servers on every sync.

Second restores (copy back from servers to your phone) that data when you reinstall your apps after a factory reset.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rab1412000:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swallaces:
So from scouring the internet, I got my hopes up looking for a Dreamcast Emulator for my lovely new Transformer Prime. But apparantly, what development there was on such software has stagnated from reasons unknown to me. So my question is wether or not there is currently a team or one willing to continue or restart this research? I'd love to be a part of such developments, but unfortunately, I don't have enough skill or talent at this point with Android Developing to go for such a cause.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Exleh:
I have a Droid A855 rooted, CM7 installed. I have the latest build. I have two issues, one is that the free RAM is ridiculously low with like 5 apps open it has about 20MB of RAM free. This is unacceptable because my Huawei Ascend has 90 free with many apps open, and the Droid has twice the ram of the Ascend. Is there any suggestions about this? Also the camera was working great and then it started freezing, and now the camera force closes when I press the button to take a picture. If I go to the camcorder it works fine, but otherwise I get force close. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] durandgir:
Personally CM7 has just never ran smooth. No matter what I have tried. Gingerbread was never really meant for the Droid so most roms have built in stuff to help with memory that I do not believe CM7 ever had added. and the camera is outright terrible lately, I have it force closing on all my roms. I really don't know how to help all I can really try suggesting is trying out other roms
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Exleh:
Thanks for the quick reply, I beg to differ on the Gingerbread not being for the droid part, my old Ascend runs Gingerbread Cm7 with flying colors, and this droid has double the performance...

Try Peter Alfonsos GB, I found that it gave me the most amount of free ram at any time
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Exleh:
Hmm
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] projektorboy:
I think you guys are missing a crucial part about how Android is built. Free RAM is wasted RAM.

Newer versions of Android, especially Gingerbread, are better at RAM management than older versions. Granted, there's an ever-growing need for more RAM for basic system functions, but Android is designed to free up RAM on-demand for the things that need it.

Just because RAM isn't free doesn't mean that the system is going to slow down. Android will put the stuff that's not being used anymore into a swap file so that the stuff you need to work with can do what it wants.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Exleh:
Yes but the ram is going so low that it is closing my applications like music when I go to a different screen.. it's frustrating

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Exleh:
What? I dont understand
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] bobyang:
I agree with you and I will like to agree with you but it just won't work. This is like Windows Vista, they use all the memory, but it is very slow when you try to open application which you don't use a lot.. and it also causes a lot of slowness when you try to use more ram for soemthing else, like modify a huge image in photoshop and then switch to some other application.

Get back to the real story, my phone get memory lower than 50 free MB easily. and when I open Google current in this stage, it just hangs for 5 minutes. then I get a message "force closed". However, if I have 100 free MB, then I am safe, I don't see that popup message. Moreover, when I go to 40 free MB, I even have hard time to open skype and pick up the phone, it just rings, but the screen just hangs! when the screen refresh back, people get into mailbox already....

anyway, I found a software to temp solve this problem ZDbox. I set up when the screen hangs, "kill all apps in the memory" it is not best, but at least I can pick calls, I can run application without getting "force closed" message all the time.. because I need to reboot few times a day to solve ram issue.

perhaps, you can do a test yourself.

- install CM7

- install facebook app and run

- install google reader and run

- install google current and run

- install skype and run

- install gmail and run

- install google voice serach and run

- install google book and run

- install whatsapp and run

- install naver LINE and run

- install twitter and run

- install zdbox and run

- install lookout and run

- install go laucher

well after all this, your phone show be in less than free 50MB.. if so, try to run other application and you will see the problem.. screen hangs.....very slow response....not able to pick calls...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] durandgir:
Yeah but even though "free ram is wasted ram" it still causes instability and force closes along with just pure out lag. My D1 lags when it has only 30mb of ram or less anything over 50 and it flies along. It lags to the point were even simple tasks are slow when they should not be.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] kabaldan:
Droid has 256MB RAM. (Actually, there's only 226MB RAM available to kernel.)

If the Droid has twice the RAM of your Huawei Ascend, then your Ascend has only 128MB RAM.

If it has 90MB RAM free with many apps open, then it means that all the system services and all the "many" open apps has to fit to 38MB of RAM.

That's hard to believe.

And btw., you can't compare RAM consumption on devices with different display resolution. Droid drives 854x480 pixels and uses hdpi bitmaps. I guess that the Ascend has lower resolution. The RAM demand is much higher on WVGA hdpi devices compared to low resolution HVGA/QVGA mdpi/ldpi devices.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Megan Rutix:
When I my HTC Desire Z, I was in love, awe of the beautiful interface HTC Sense and the many adjustments I needed to make experience to a higher level, the Android. However, as I went about installing my wealth of applications, games and widgets (more than a hundred, are addictive), Sense started getting so instead of improving my experience. The initial screen would start every few hours re; each faucet took longer to record; Screen rotation when the keyboard sliding open continue for centuries; and each phone looked like he was struggling to get by.
[HTC Sensation] ghmiilwaa2:
I've looked at all the other threads detailing how to get adb, fastboot, revolutionary, nbimg, and other applications set up on linux and there's a much easier way than typing all those commands, and editing rules files and changing permissions...

It requires little to no knowledge of linux, you only have to type one line into the terminal, and it takes about 1 minute. (seriously, time it!) :) Ready?

Go!

download and open file attached to this post

open terminal

type : sudo nautilus

enter your password

once nautilus opens, click on file system(on left side)

drag and drop adb (or fastboot, or revolutionary, or nbimg, or any other executable) to the folder called "bin"

close nautilus

close downloaded file

congratulations you've just installed adb the easy way.

you can now use it in the terminal without the need to add ./ before the command or the need to be root or the need to do any of those complicated things you didn't understand from any of the other tutorials.

====

Since I can already see the question coming :

How do I update? simple...

follow the previous procedure exactly the same except paste the new version of whatever into the bin folder and replace the older version. It really is that easy.

Why not do it the way the other tutorials say?

The bin folder isn't going anywhere and requires root privileges to modify so it's hard to screw it up.

If you marked the application as executable and added the path to the file in some other directory (like most other tutorials tell you to do) you may have issues if you ever modify or delete or screw up the directory where you installed it one of the other ways...

How does this work??

The bin folder houses binaries/applications that the system needs to function. By putting the files in that folder, you are telling the system that these binaries are executable, that they are safe(don't require root) and that they can be used system wide in any directory.

Speaking of root, Why don't I need root any more?

Because you put them in the bin folder, and not the sbin folder.

If you would like to require root privileges to use the included tools, follow the instructions but instead of dragging the files into the bin folder, drag them into the sbin folder.

Hope this helps someone somewhere. :)

[Galaxy Tab General] pvtjoker42:
the actual fully stock VZW rom would probably try and flash a modem update, and that wouldn't work on the sprint tab (and could be catastrophic) but any of the custom VZW roms should work fine other than possible loss of 3g functionality.

[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I read an article yesterday that said if it is odexed then when an app is installed it puts parts of the file/code in different places so it can load when the phone boots up and so part of it is preloaded. If it is DeOdexed that doesn't happen so that the whole app file/code stays together. So if it is DeOdexed it is easier for devs to work with since the app files/code stay all together.

Something like that. I'm trying to find the article I read...

1. Run Calkulin's Format

2. Flash Blazers

Well both ran fine, but the video showed a different boot animation, I got the same sprint one. The lockscreen was the new one, but after unlocking, my old wallpaper, widgets, even apps are still there.

Re-reading the forum and what that thread has is a link to Modified_Calkulin's_FORMAT_ALL_for_E4GT_NODATA.zip so that might explain it)

So, is there a full version (I did google around) but I guess is that the reason that stuff is still there? IF so, what is the S2 link for the format all.
