[HTC Wildfire S] Squadra156:
Hello,

Can someone help me on this issue?

Today i bought a new storage card 16gb kingston sdhc class 4.

I followed the tut again but this time data2sd seem to cause issues when starting up after installing the rom. After the reboot the system crashes or is very lagging. I also cant complete the startup wizard.

I noticed that it does not matter if I choose a small or bigg partition 512mb or 2gb. When i install cyanogen without data2sd and without a partition on the card this problem does not occur. Does anyone know something about this?

---------- Post added at 09:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 PM ----------

I see you have managed to install the tut and end up with 2 gb internal mem. Can u tell me what kind of microsd card you are using?
[HTC Wildfire S] bagofbits:
Your Issue

Hi Squadra156,

I flashed a nightly rom, i hav a 8gb sd card and created a 2gb partition. I get a number of 'not responding' in particular with go launcher that i use. I find that if I've used an app a few times it seems to get better with time. Until u hav 2 reboot that is.

I can cope with this bit of annoyance for the time being coz the wildfire s internal memory issue was a real prob for me. Now it's fine.

Did u see my other reply earlier ? If so can u help me.

Cheers
[HTC Wildfire S] elementpz:
Well my suggestion to Wildfire users is to pass this 'tutorial' as far as I saw it ****ed up the whole ROM can't use market , after restart can't connect to sdcard , at all i tried it twice and never more. This sucks. :o
[HTC Wildfire S] Squadra156:
Then you did something wrong, because in first it worked well for me (then i was using a 2gb standard samsung micro sd!) But I upgraded and after that i got the troubles. So its not to blaim the tut!

(slight problems I did have with the market, giving me a error 492) But I think that was because the change from market to google play during the day.

---------- Post added at 01:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 AM ----------

Ok mate, but i ment to ask is what kind of microsd card do you use? Because i think the lagging part of my story with my new 16gb card is because its class 4. The best way to use this is to stick with class 10 cards.

After all I followed the other tut to create a partition with minitools and let link2sd do all the work. Its basically the same.

To answer your questions, I did not have problems you mention at all, and I really dont know any solution to help you with that. The only thing I could made up is back everything up and install again from scratch . :D
[HTC Wildfire S] john1fernandez:
will it affect my warranty?
[HTC Wildfire S] Squadra156:
Unlocking your device allready does loose warranty, what did you think? If your S-off maybe not... But at the end I HTC will deny your problems and blaim you for rooting your device. But hey , what are you doing on this board if you even care about your warranty :P ?
[HTC Wildfire S] meetmenow007:
after installing data2sd why rom starts lagging ??
[HTC Wildfire S] laxsrbija:
This is great, I was always having problems with my internal memory, even after installing Link2SD.

Now, with over 500 MB of free space, that is one less problem to worry about.

Thanks, mate :)
[HTC Wildfire S] botski:
i really want to do this. but do i need to be rooted first right?

can anyone help to root, im dying to get more space in my internal memory?

i should root my wildfire S to do this!!! thank you man! i will try this!
[HTC Wildfire S] johnyfly1:
How I do that on stock rom??
[HTC Wildfire S] draltus:
me too :(

what is the problem?
[HTC Wildfire S] pickoniznik:
@draltus:

This problem happens when you are using other sdcard instead of "stock" SDcard(sdcard included in phone in original package)

I bought 8GB SDcard and this problem also happened to me,but I reinstalled CM and data2sd script and now it runs great.

So try it and share your experience
[HTC Wildfire S] honda_hany:

Edit, after reinstall from recovery it works with 2gb internal storage Thanks
[HTC Wildfire S] anoobiser:
Does this work on Stock Rom ? I have s-off & root access on my phone.
[HTC Wildfire S] draltus:
thanks to your help pickoniznik. but i dont use stock microsd. I bought sandisk 8gb class 4 microsd and i did what you say. i installed first cm7,2 than data2 sd and the finally gapps. reboot and installing cm7.2. the phone is consistently error. i dont understand what is the problem
[HTC Wildfire S] botski:
i had link2sd and i had ext2 partition if i try this it work?
[HTC Wildfire S] krishnanms:
Partitioned

Done partitioning. went with ease.

But I installed Link2SD rather. Now Im confused with using Link2sd. I put Auto Link Option ON and also I chose option to "install to external"

But after rebooting I could only see just 100 MB free

and when i tried to move the system apps It said it cant move system apps to sd.

If anyone can provide me step by step tutorial it would be really help full:p
[HTC Wildfire S] botski:
confirmation? can work in stock rom?
[HTC Wildfire S] pickoniznik:
botski: I dont know,but use some other stock-like ROM with data2sd support and it will work :)

[HTC Wildfire S] apicia:
Looks like CWM recovery creates an EXT3 partition. I thought Data2sd wanted EXT4 partition. Should I use Minitool to make the partition EXT4? I wonder what that Data2sd script looks for?
[HTC Wildfire S] Molleresa:
It worked for me with CWM making a partiton.
[HTC Wildfire S] RiesVLD:

[HTC Wildfire S] dig-jedi:
So I think I messed up big time when I tried to do this yesterday. I'm not new to flashing a rom or modding my phone, but i'm no expert either.

I think I caused my sd card to go bad, idk how. but now minipartition isnt allowing me to do anything with it. I can't connect how it normally does to the computer either since using minipartition tool, I was just gonna copy my old sd data onto the card but I can't since the computer won't recognize the phone now.

My question is this, can I save my sd card or should I just go get a new one? and if I have to get a new one, is there anything I can do to use my phone til then?

only thing my phone can currently do is load into recovery.

OR

should i just wipe my sd card and start from scratch by just flashing a new rom?

this is going to help a hell of a lot once i get my s fixed thanks :p

Invalid Package File?

Hi all.

I follow the tutorial and it work. Now, I have 1G internal storage with 729M free. But I get Market Error: "Invalid Package File" when I download and install any application or game. An other way, I install application by apk file (copy form my computer) but still not work (Application do not install).

How to fix it?

Thank.
[HTC Wildfire S] goolias:
I think it has something to do with your SDCARD class, what class of SDCARD are you using? I was using a Class 4 SDCARD and had this problem when I was using m1ndh4x8r rom, phone when reboot and freeze when download from playstore, when DATA2SD was not used, whenever anything wrote to SDCARD it happened.
[HTC Wildfire S] bobdarkside:
Many thanks for this, I now do not have to mess with link2sd or apps2sd, its nice being able to install apps with no worries about space
[HTC Wildfire S] Mamulet:
I keep having "force close" with Data2sd so I went back to normal.
[HTC Wildfire S] apicia:
I had these. After making 1GB partition and zero swap file in advanced, I solved this by wiping data/factory reset, wipe cache, go advanced and wipe dalvik and clear battery stats, go into mounts and wipe everything. Then mount and transfer the ROM, Data2sd by jikantaru, gapps ics, and SuperWipeMarvel to your sdcard. Unmount and remove USB cable. Go to install zip from sd and install SuperWipe. Reboot into recovery. Go to install zip from sd and install ROM, then Data2sd, and then Gapps. Go to advanced and fix permissions, then reboot and let it sit for at least 5 minutes. The longer the wait, the better.

Before you do this, check what happens when you mount in recovery. If your wiping everything, you need to be able to transfer files to your sd. Clean wipe install FTW.
[HTC Wildfire S] kye04:
my experience :

I did everithing you said, endeed succeded but noticed that in everything appeared a lag... small endeed but everything was not moving so smooth...at least 4 me was annoying...

I have a 8gb calss 10 samsung sd card. So it could not be because of the speed of the card....

So i did something else:

1- installed rom + google package

2- started the phone, intitialize everything (so the initial settings, cache, temp are on the main 512 memory of the phone)

3- back to recovery mode and apply app2sd . From this moment everything that will be installed will be on the system partition on the card

4- started the phone and installed everything needed

Everything work flawless not because the main settings , temporary files etc are still in the memory of the phone wich is accesed faster than the special partition from the sd card .....

I advice you to modifiy the main procedure with these modifications...

Thanks

Step 7

Hi,

Im trying to do this for 2 days now, but i just cant get it fixed, after doing all these steps the internal memory wont increase..

I think the problem starts at step 7.

Here you say Choose new size of IM.

When i click on partition SD card, i got a few options:

- 128M

- 256M

- 512M

- 1024M

- 2048M

- 4096M

BUT, on the top of it, it says in white letters Ext Size so not IM...?

While doing all these steps did u forgot something about taking out the SD card and put it back in?

I hope you can help me, cause it worked previously with 1gb internal storage, so there must be something i did wrong.

Thanks in advance!:good:
[HTC Wildfire S] chnoi:

Hi there,

I used this tweak a while back and while it's great I'd like to switch ROMs (from CM7 to CM9). Will there be any problems when I try to switch, or can I just wipe the usual stuff and install the new ROM.

And if I wipe, the tweak is gone right? I'll have normal storage again?

Thanks for reading and your reply :)
[HTC Wildfire S] benjamingwynn:
If you wanna delete your stuff then wipe data and flash a new rom.

To keep your stuff

1. Backup everything

2. Erase ONLY the /data and /cache partition (in clockworkmod this is under mounts and storage)

3. Install your new ROM

4. Install the data2sd package

5. If needed - install gapps (goo.im/gapps)

6. Reboot

DO NOT use this method when going to or from sense roms.

Hello all! I hope its not something wrong in my post! I will try to be as explicit!

I have a HTC Wildfire S CM 9 on it! I made a partition of 1 Gb Ext 4! I darktremor flash and I installed the Asd2gui! I checked to move applications and Dalvik cache on sd-ext partition!

But I do not understand why I see the error that I have no memory?

[HTC Wildfire S] playagiron:
Hi,

great tutorial, also followed the exact procedure and have data2sd running with a 1GB Ext3 Partition, (I also use CM9 on Wildfire S as last poster)

I used the Data2SD script from the first post and it correctly installed it and I have a 1GB partition called "data", around half full.

HOWEVER: Still there seems to be the internal memory be used (called DATA_INTERNAL) and it is 250MB, 99% full), so now all updates fail due to insufficient storage (but the message is package file invalid, rather than insufficient storage). Still, in the Applications Settings, internal storage is computes as 1GB (600MB free).

Storage info according to Absolute System:

Anyone knows how to get data2sd to work correctly?? I followed the standard procedure, got the particion right etc. but still no luck...

Apparently, the problem is that for data2sd the data directory should be mounted as system/data (not system/data_internal), but this is what this rom and data2sd script came up with as default options. So you think there is any way to change the mount points permanently or should there be another a2sd+...script be installed and started from scratch???
