Alright, this is a guide for those people who need to increase/decrease their size of ext2/3/4 partition or even change SD card as I did from 2 GB Samsung to 4 GB Kingston Class 4.

This has been tested on windows 8.

Windows only recognizes the first partition of any removable device, this is where the problem lies while changing SD card or while making the amendments to your Ext partition. You apps will all be LOST if you format without care. Don't get hyper, this is quick and easy guide.

Things you will need.

1.Minitool Partition wizard home edition (probably the same which you used to create the partition)

2.Ext2 Volume manager.

3.Ext2IFS for windows.

USB mount is strictly not advisable, use a card reader. If you don't have any then use a mobile which is not an android, Nokia as for example.

1. Switch your mobile off, remove SD card. Insert it into card reader and then to USB port.

2.Windows will show you your FAT/FAT32 partition.

3.Backup your FAT/FAT32 partition. This is because you are gonna delete this partition.

4.After backing up open Minitool Partition wizard, delete your FAT/FAT32 partition. Be sure to delete this only, DO NOT DELETE EXT2/3/4. Apply those changes.

5.Go to Ext2 Volume manager and select the removable SD card. Double click on Linux partition. Then click on mount points and done.

6.Go to My computer and you will find your Ext2/3/4 partition as a removable drive. Backup this, be sure to copy all the files. Do not leave any file.

7.Now delete this partition from Minitool Partition wizard, your full card is empty now.

8.Create a new parition as primary and Ext2/3/4. Drag this to the far right. Be sure that all the unallocated space is before this Ext partition. Not even a single MB should be after this partition. Apply changes. Select the size of partition according to your convenience.

9.Copy all those EXT backup files to this Ext partition. Windows will show this partition now. If it does not, go to Ext2 Volume manager and do the steps you did before.

10.Now that you have created an Ext partition of your desirable size. Go to Minitool Partition wizard and create a primary FAT/FAT32 partition in the unallocated space. Apply changes.

11.Copy those backup files on this new partition of fat file system which you copied. Now the Ext partition will not be shown in windows.

12.You are done! Insert SD into your phone and power it on. The first boot will take a little longer than normal.

13.Go to link2sd and check the storage, you will be having all the apps + your partition size is increased/decreased now.

If you have any problems tell me.

To all those who want to create a pictorial guide, DO IT BUT INCLUDE A LINK TO MY ORIGINAL GUIDE.

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] CarlDeanCatabay:
I believe that increasing means getting bigger ext partition without the need to re-partition the card. If I were you I would create a guide in RESIZING EXT PARTITIONS, else rename your guide to "how to repartition a SD Card"

Problem

I followed all of your steps to the letter to repartition and increase the size of my link2sd partition and after rebooting my phone, I'm getting nothing but error messages and "force close" left and right. I'm not sure at all what had gone wrong. :/ I backed up every single file from both partitions, but everything appears to be borked.

UPDATE: it's apparently not mounting the second partition; that's at least what it seems to be telling me as I'm going through some of the stuff on link2sd
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Master_Key:
Can you tell me in more detail what did you do?

Also what kind of SD card are you using and other details.

increase 2nd partition of SD card without losing data

My SD card's 2nd partition is FAT32 and I'd like to increase it's size. How do I do it without losing my apps installed on there?

I tried connecting it to card reader and using miniTools to increase the size but it only allows NTFS partition to increase without losing data.

increase size of partition 2

Hi, just a quick question, can I increase the size of partition 2 without formatting or losing files and data?

Just as the post suggests, go ahead and share a funny story or memory..try and keep it clean.

I'll start us off:

I was in college, and we usually have a "bar" night, where we all meet up - professors and students and we just chat and connect (usually speakers from different companies come by, giving us some inside stories or job oppratunities).

Anyways, I had an assignment due - and I didn't bother doing it, I was doing other stuff - trying to get a business laid out, and I couldn't care less! Thing is, this assignment was due that night. (you submit everything online.)

Long story short, me and the prof started to chat and we actually became pretty good friends - bought us a couple rounds of drinks, introduced me to other staff - (which landed me some freelance work later on) and I was totally exempt from doing the assignment. :cool:

Your turn people. Have fun.

This isn't my story - it's my Mum's, but it's a great story.

When I was a baby my Mum decided it was about time she learnt to swim. So one evening a week her and my Aunty would go to our local swimming pool for a lesson. After the lesson they'd go for a drink at the nearest pub and just have a general catchup.

One week my Mum was waiting at the bar to be served and there was a guy stood next to her that kept smiling at her. She didn't know what to do at first as she had no idea who he was, but then it hit her - it was her swimming instructor. In the middle of a quiet lull in the pub, she turned to him and said out loud, "Oh hello. I nearly didn't recognise you with your clothes on."

One of my favorite memories was playing in front of 5000+ people for the first time. Yet, I didn't have a penny to my name that night. It opened my eyes to today's music industry. So shortly after that show, I called it quits and decided to go back home to my wife and kids, and start being a responsible adult. Best decision I ever made.

Ok, I ordered this screen protector for my s3, thanks to a fellow member:

http://www.xtremeguard.com/Samsung-...-Protectors-p/galaxy_s_3_screen_protector.htm

After receiving the product, it has the same "rubbery" texture that the zagg screen protectors have. The one I received for my evo 3d is perfect, it is the smooth plastic that allows my fingers to slide with very little friction. Does anyone know where one of these can be ordered.

Unfortunately, even though I have the extra pack of screen protectors for my 3d, I don't remember where it was purchased from and there really isn't a brand name except for "The Greater Guarder for Screen".

I don't mean to be picky, but I really don't like that rubberish texture versus a smooth plastic surface. The rubber ones seem to dent and damage easily while the plastic still offers great protection. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Tazer2death:
I think someone said they smooth out after a while. I picked up a cheap set of Halo Screen Protectors for my droid charge that worked great but idk products that were great for some phones seem to be crap sometimes for this new galaxy s 3
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Michael_P:
After a few days and cleans mine smoothed out and that resistance is gone now.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] noweakness:
I hope mine smooths out. The zagg was way over-priced and after a couple of months got really nasty looking
[Galaxy S III Accessories] spacenbeyond:
U should try the "ROCK Screen Protectors". They r supposed to be "Anti-Friction"

Just ordered mine..

http://www.rockphone.cn/en/products.asp?menuid=346
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Gadgetz:
They absolutely do! There was an immediate difference felt when I first put mine on compared to how it is now. At first it was pretty tacky, now its nice and smooth. Not gonna lie and say its as smooth as naked, which imo is too smooth, but its very close.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] noweakness:
I live in the US, not sure if they ship. Don't even see the price or how to buy it, just the description

I get easily buggy with screen textures or clarities :rolleyes: I have bought Steinheil screen protector. I used it for my old devices, and I got one for evo 4g lte for my dad. I haven't put it on yet because i don't have the device. But, they are pretty well known, I think.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hyflex:
Hey guys and girls,

I'm having an annoying problem where my taskbar keeps dissapearing, I have to reboot to get it back.

See below:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] micaman:
I had this happen to me this morning. I had left my prime charging/hibernating overnight. The only solution was to reboot. Mine was stuck on the stock browser. I figured it was a one off thing...well I guess not.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hyflex:
I get it once a day, it's really annoying.

Could you give a list of apps you have running or installed if you don't know how to find out what apps are running just to try and see if we have a running app what might be the cause.

EDIT: Do you have "System bar lock" enabled?

EDIT: I found a way to temporally resolve the issue.

Load up Settings

Select "ASUS Customised Setting"

Select "System bar lock"

Toggle "Enable system bar lock"
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blairware:
So you are saying what? As a temporary workaround, just "toggle system bar lock"? meaning if on, turnn off an vice-versa? Or do you mean toggle to alternate mode

and then back

as in, if your normal setting is "enabled" then disenable, and finally enable again?

Sorry, I am just looking for clarification, so perhaps instead you could just state what sequence you followed. also, have you had enough run time to determine the validity of the fix? How many failures did you have before doing the settings toggle, and how long has it been without a failure since making the change.

Putting up this detail is greatly appreciated both by the user community and ultimately by Asus
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 1SiK1500:
mine starts flickering really bad until i restart it, then its good for a day. never had this issue before..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] micaman:
My System bar lock has been enabled ever since the feature first appeared.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hyflex:
I'm almost certain the disappearing taskbar will only occur if you have System bar lock enabled at the time of the disappearance.

So, you'll go into settings and as soon as you disable the "System bar lock" you'll see your taskbar re-appear. Problem solved, you can then go and re-enable the "System bar lock" and continue as you were.

Same, mine hadn't had this problem for months and then within the last month it's started doing this every day.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 31Cats:
Interesting. I installed gesture control a few months ago because I don't particularly like the taskbar. With that app on, it would occasionally disappear on it's own. It would almost always reappear, but I think I needed to reboot once. I wasn't too worried because it is still in beta on ICS.

So, over the last week, I've disabled root so that I can try to figure out whether the issues I'm having with my tablet are related to root (unfortunately, I don't think they are :(). However, I've noticed that the task bar disappearing act is still happening, although on a more infrequent basis. No reboots have been required so far. Have you tried a program like gesture control to see if you can restore the bar? Of course, this won't work if you aren't rooted, but I'm curious to hear about your experience.

Hopefully Jelly Bean will have a status bar that can be turned on and off more easily!

Hi

My I9000 sgs is currently showing full signal but whenever I make a call it just comes up with the message "Mobile network not available". Texts will not send either.

However I can still browse the internet (not connected to wifi) even though it says there is no internet connection, I just press ok and it continues to load up the page.

I have tried flashing various stock and custom firmwares, as well as trying various different modems.

I have unlocked the phone to see if it was just my orange sim but my o2 doesnt work either both have the same issue, both my sim cards are working in my friends sgs2.

I have also checked my imei number to ensure it wasnt blocked, its not.

I have now exhausted my knowledge and cannot find any solution after 2 days of googling.

I would be really grateful if anyone had any ideas on what else I could try.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] bugzy0509:
Hi All,

I am using ICS Asianic V2.0 by Darkmantra. And I was playing with my phone last night (Build prop to be specific). I set VM heap to 12 and rebooted and after that It would not boot up. It cannot go beyond HTC logo with white background.

I can boot to recovery, I'd tried a few things that i think made it worse. I re-installed build prop tweak from SD card but did not work. I did a factory reset and a few others which i can no longger recall.... So I decided to just go right ahead and re-flash the ROM from SD card but I was not able to. I was getting an error: "e:can't mount /sdcard"

Is there still hope for my phone? any help will be appreciated...

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Sometimes happens, try turning phone off, take out sd card, put back in and try again
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
The problem is that the phone thinks the SD Card is unmounted. (Sorry to restate the obvious)

Physically removing the card and putting it back in might work. But if you do it with the power off the phone might not realize anything is different.

If you have 4EXT Recovery, you can try to remount it from within the recovery. First try to mount it. Then unmount. Then mount it again. See if that works.

If neither of those work try to mount it with ADB.

And if all else fails, copy the files to your computer using a card reader, format the card, recopy everything back to the card, and start over. I had a situation like that once where this was what finally got the card to remount. Something got glitched on the card so it wasn't being recognized.
[HTC Sensation] bugzy0509:
Thanks Skipjacks!!

I do not know what solved it but here is what I did....

- formatted the SD card (have no important data in it anyway)

- copied ROM to SD card

- set phone to Recovery mode without SD card

- Hot plug SD card

- tried to update from SD card and it was able to recognize it...!

- i was able to install my ROM..

thank you! I appreciate the help!

Hey guys what mobile security will u recmmend asast! or AVG..?

and which one of them will drain more battery ..?

:rolleyes:
[HTC Wildfire S] evildead1024:
I use avast since a few month's and i love it. It comes with an anti theft software wich can be invisible and located in the boot.img. about the batterylife i can't say much but it don't kills the battery in a few hours. I prefer the avast app.
[HTC Wildfire S] kalaker:
I prefer avast! and every time I flash a ROM I install it almost immediately.
[HTC Wildfire S] AceRoom:
I've never installed an anti-virus software on my phone.

Is it useful? How many malware/viruses has it detected?
[HTC Wildfire S] rajanand:
I am using AVG.. it detects abnormal settings and removes spy,malfunctioning, scripts from ur root and SD.
[HTC Wildfire S] rajanand:
HIGHLY Recommended FOR ROOTED USER.

Antivirus is very useful ...if you are using

1.various mobile payments.

2.Using personal,official mails.

3.mobile banking.

4.taking photos.

5.using gps,maps etc.

These Information,s including your Photos can be transmitted via Internet,blutooth. with the help of spy ,and various scrips installed by software,roms.

HIGHLY Recommended FOR ROOTED USER.

Stay Rooted But Stay Safe!!

Both Avast and AvG anti virus software are free to download from Google Play, so in my opinion it's not warez. Or am I wrong? :confused:
[HTC Wildfire S] benjamingwynn:
Somebody grab me legit, free and up to date apks of both and I'll add them into RobotoMOD ;)

[HTC Wildfire S] Akshit Shah:
many malwares

its v v useful as it has detected many malwares as for root users avast is best and for non root its avg

Hello everybody, well i finally get this phone and i have some questions, i have been too into developing before but there are some differences with this phone.

Okay, lets start:

This phone has 2.2(froyo) my carrier has just finished the actualization for 2.3. so I NEED THE OFFICIAL LG ROM, WHAT I MEAN WITH OFFICIAL IS THAT WHEN THERE ARE OFFICIAL UPDATES, IT WILL APPEAR IN THE PHONE

Can i flash roms with the stock phone recovery without been root user?

Wich are the best official baseband and kernel for the phone? Does it change the performance?

In case you can help me you have to know im from argentina ( latinamerica ) just in case there are differents roms, bb, and kernels for every part of the world.

Thanks and good luck to everybody

I suggest Italian Firmware, it is the latest, and you will not encounter langauage problems ;-)

[LG Optimus 2x] SREEPRAJAY:
1) you cannot flash Custom ROMs if you are not rooted....

2)Phone Recovery is available only with root and with CWM

3)Different regions,service providers and devices have different responses for BBs. Generally, the most popular ones are V20q, V20C and V20S for the stock ROMs and the corresponding RILs

4)Performance will change with different Kernels, BBs....such as Voodoo, Battery performance, Scrolling etc

If you like the stock based ROM, then I would suggest you to reach out for Django Manouche 1.5beta4 ROM which is on XDA Server...check for the thread....and choose Stefan's , Flix's or Spica's Kernel.....each are valuable in their own ways.

Hope it helps you...CHEERS mate...you have one of the best devices in your hand

Thanks you both but does those roms show when there are new updates?

Also in case I install this one, whats the difference between this one and my 20a? Does it have italian bloatware?

I will guess I will root my phome just for backups and chainfire

One last question,if I install this rom and have another bb or kernel? Will it work bad?

How do I install those roms, by cwm?

Good luck
