Cant't find partition

I am a noob, so I ask for your patience and understanding :confused: So, I followed the guide. I already had my phone (HTC Desire) S-OFF and rooted with Revolutionary. Then I installed 4ext Recovery and created an ext4 partition (1GB). I wanted to use my stock ROM so I used term-init to add support for init.d scripts. I had a problem there, a message appeared during the installation that my system was read-only (although I had superuser). After half a day's search I installed the application "mount system (rw/ro)" and was finally able to install term-init. Then I installed mounts2sd from the android market. The problem is that it says that my partition is not mounted. Any ideas????
[Desire General] rakijaman:
Dude why you complicated that alot? :-\ just install aparted from playstore and create partition with it. For mount you can use link2sd

Sent from my GT-5660
[Desire General] Jim267:
Well I have already used 4ext Recovery and Mounts2sd. The problem, as I said, is that my partition is not recognized. I might give it another chance with link2sd, then.

EDIT: I used 4ext Recovery again to create a partition and it still isn't recognized :(
[Desire General] rakijaman:
Listen me very carefully and follow these steps. First download those 2 apps from here https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3ha5ak0md0oso0p/M7hHivPPSg

That's old latest versions of link2sd and aparted released on market without ads! Install aparted on internal memory, go to settings in your phone/ mounts and storage and unmount sd card. Then go back open aparted and create your partition. Of course you will loose your whole content from sd card but it's worth of it. After partition successful created exit and mount sd storage from phone settings. With this tool I created ext4 partition and since then is long time I didn't had partition problems. Tell what you did :thumbup:

[Desire General] Jim267:
Tried it that way, but it ddn't work either :( When I open link2sd and choose ext4, it says that it doesn't find anything to mount.
[Desire General] rakijaman:
Which rom and kernel you using?

Sent from my GT-5660
[Desire General] jmcclue:
Could just be a faulty sdcard. Try different one if u have it
[Desire General] Jim267:
Unfortunately I don't have another sd card, but if the problem persists I'm going to buy another one. I'm currently using stock rom and kernel. Perhaps I'm going to use a custom rom, to check if that fixes the partition issue.

EDIT: Problem finally solved! I created an ext3 partition with 4ext and then used link2sd. It seems that ext4 partitions could not be mounted on my HTC Desire.
[Desire General] dkstiler:
Finaly you did it mate !! though the filesystem that it can be mount it is recognized from the kernel!

Probably you have an old kernel to work with ext4
[Desire General] Kronik69:
Very nice guide ;)
[Desire General] salkhans:
Partitioning the sd card

2. Click on "4EXT Recovery Updater" and download the .apk.

3. Put the .apk on your sd-card.

4. Install the app, and open it.

5. Select "Online Install | upgrade". Confirm your phone model.

i flashed the rom on htc desire bravo, now the 4ext file is not installing, i currently don't have any file manager found in the icons. please help

How to perform step # 4..?
[Desire General] Saf98:
Install a file explorer again
[Desire General] rndm:
Awesome and clear. Noob question...why do I need an external micro SD for this process? I have a Chinese android phone (which currently have no no community custom roms) with 16g rom but only 1gb of internal memory and 12gb of phone storage...I though this process would allow me to partition so internal memory could be 6gb and phone storage 7gb for example? just want to be clear because i don't want to use an external sd.

Sorry if you're facepalming:rolleyes:

ps...what do you think about this guide? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2412319
[Desire General] abaaaabbbb63:
That guide still uses the same principle like my guide, but it uses a tool that makes bad partitions.

This is only for micro-sd card partitioning. Partitioning internal memory is done through way different methods. What phone do you have?
[Desire General] rndm:
Thanks for the reply abaaaabbbb63, really appreciated. Recently sold my N7000 that was dying and got a Chinese phone, Goophone Max (but technically a Star W9208)

Next to no custom roms because its a Chinese phone:(

currently running 4.3 though and after changing a few things it isn't that bad.

Would you know how i could increase the internal memory? a bit annoying because I'm already getting low storage problems even though there is 12gb free and its quite a fast device. Annoying its only 1gb

PS would I be able to root this?...and flash cwm? and change the dpi after root?

again sorry for the noob questions. Ive been a member of xda before android was first released but it doesn't show.:eek:
[Desire General] abaaaabbbb63:
You should try different root methods, until one works. Here, try this first:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2130276

And about the internal memory, it can't be repartitioned.
[Desire General] rndm:
Wow...so theres no way for me to have more than a gig of apps? no option to move to sd because its post gingerbread. would like to share the internal with the phone storage...somehow. last time I used apps2sd my card died and apps corrupted. class 32g 10 card.
[Desire General] abaaaabbbb63:
Well, it depends how you partitioned your sd-card. Did you use Gparted?

And what app2sd script did you use?

I'm sorry, but an app2sd script is the only way.
[Desire General] rndm:
cant remember which way I did it but i doubt it. It was a couple of years ago.

Was gonna return the phone but keeping now. After root Im going to use you method. There are no custom roms for my phone so i think ill get stuck at "----------------Using the Ext partition----------------"

tried to pm (thread getting off topic)Just read your rooting guide (for the LG) and I learnt quite a bit. Here is my process about to start for my MTK6592 Star 9208.

1.Wipe the phone

2.Root with Vroot

3.Install root apps -Super user, rom manager, titanium backup root, root browser lite, rom tool box

4.Make a nandroid backup

5.Backup build prop and change dpi using texdroider

6.Uninstall unimportant stock applications using root explorer

7. Partition a micro SD http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2125513

or

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2455850 (what do you think of this?)

8. install all apps and sign in

I noticed you said theres 1% of error but wanted to ask you first...is this safe with my kind of device?

thanks
[Desire General] abaaaabbbb63:
Use Gparted to partition your sd-card.

Don't use this (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2455850). It will brick your phone. You have a different model.

Just partition your sd-card using Gparted, and install an app2sd script, like Mounts2sd. Or use the Mounts2sd app on the play store.

Do you have a custom recovery?
[Desire General] rndm:
but its says for MTK6592...why will it brick

Why the gparted method? I notice you say "if the ROM you want to install requires a swap partition"...i dont want to install any roms

was gonna just gonna flash cwm from rom downloader. i guess that would brick. cant find a custom recovery.
[Desire General] abaaaabbbb63:
Oh right. Sorry, I'm a bit tired. Didn't see numbers matched.

Ok, use that method. Seems fine.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barcabod:
First post so first of all Hello!! and glad I found you

I have received my new razri today.I have set the email up using my works emails which is exchange all seems to be working OK.

The only problem is that I can find no setting to sync the emails only at peak times ie 7.00am till 5.00pm.

I don't want to receive emails during the evening.

Will I have to uninstall the email client that came with the phone ? if so what other email client preferably free would enable me to connect by exchange and also set peak sync times.

Also Can I delete the calendar and put another one onto the phone?

I am new to smartphones and am finding the whole process stressful :eek:

Any help would be really appreciated
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faustt:
So I know this is probably a really stupid question, but I'll ask anyway. :D

For about 18 months I ran Decks ROM and really liked how lean the whole thing was. I got stellar battery life, and had next to no bloat and it was nice and fast. I recently put a sense ROM on my phone (Infamous 2.1 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1836346 ). I always knew the AOSP ROMs had pretty lack luster camera support, but I swear the pictures and video are night and day different. So I've been using this Sense based ROM since I found myself taking pictures more now that the camera doesn't take shaky, grainy and overly warm pictures. However, there's a few things that I really don't like about Sense based ROMs and was wondering if there are any work arounds for them.

The bloat... oh the bloat! I use zero of the built in HTC apps/widgets, but as far as I can tell, they can't be removed. I looked around and removed the apks from the system/app directory but after reboot they're still there and the apks just reappear. Maybe it's not that simple of a process, I found something similar in a script, but it's only for Sense 4+ and the ROM I'm using is 3.5. If I could be lead in the right direction of removing some of this junk that would be great! Mostly looking to ditch services that are eating into RAM that I'll never use. Namily Weather (looks like a big battery drain), anything facebook/twitter/social network related and Voicemail (I use google voice).

Question 2. I really miss the functionality of the long press back killing the foreground app. I have a feeling it's kernel related, which means there probably isn't a way to just add it some how to a kernel that doesn't support it. Along the same lines, I have no CPU control what so ever. A little OC never hurt, and governor options would be nice. I never got into messing with kernels too much back when I was flashing ROMs daily until I settled on Decks and stuck with it for ~18 months. I'm way out of the loop of things now, and development has slowed on this phone quite a bit since I messed around with it, so I'm kinda lost with this one. Are their Sense based kernels that allow any of these features?

I ended up writing more than I wanted to, but I like to be thorough when asking questions. If I could get some information on these little quirks it'd go a long way to making me embrace this Sense based ROM a lot more.

Thanks guys!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diablo67:
Ok as far as the system apps(bloat)you can remove it,use an explorer app,delete the apps you dont want,reboot into recovery and wipe cache and delvik and reboot,they should now be gone,the reason they werent before,is because of the dalvik and cache left behind,theres also a system app remover on playstore,or you can use 7-zip before insalling the rom and remove the apps from the zip file.

As far as the kernel goes,theres 2 sense kernels in the development section,not sure they have what your looking for.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faustt:
Well I was halfway there. Didn't know I had to clear the cache afterwards. Makes sense though.

Will take a look at the dev section and see if I can glean some info on those alternative sense kernels. Just gotta backup before I wreck things too much. :p

Thanks for the info!

Hey, I'm using AOKPBeast 1b and Latest semaphore kernel with Pimp my rom tweaks.

Up until 10 mins ago I only used the most simple kernel stuff... OnDemand and Noop...

and while my phone's battery was way better on Idle using Deep Sleep+Locking Min to 100mhz almost every time I used the phone my cup went very near to 100% and my battery drained way too fast... I want to have a better control over it and I hoped some of you would have advices about Governors and Schelures...

Btw, I'm not doing anything that demands much of the battry... mostly Facebook, Whatsapp, Chrome Google Reader and stuff like that so there shouldn't be a reason for the CPU to go this high....

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CobraCommander:
As far as i've read on many topics deep sleep affects battery in a bad way.

It is to be used only when device itself doesn't goes into deepsleep.

And from personal experience facebook drains battery a lot.

So install betterbatterystats to check which apps are draining the battery and deepsleep stat.

Also disable those tweaks and check if the battery drains as usual or not.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spl4tt:
Whatsapp and facebook drain the battery definitely.

Since I use whatsapp, the battery goes down so much faster than it used to

Hi all,

I have order the N4 today and I'm starting to think about it.

There is a way by a Mod or something else, to remove the softkey from the screen to use the full 4.7" screen ?

My idea is to made a mod that permit for exemple by pressing the Vol + and Vol - at the same time, to remove the softkey from the screen.

What do you think about it ?

As I'm not a dev, is there anyone that can have a look on it ?

Regards.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mi|enko:
Haven't seen this for stock roms, but AOKP has this feature. You can adjust the size of the navbar and hide it completely. Additionally, you can add the softkeys to the power options (hold power and you can go home, back, etc.). How I set mine up is using NovaLauncher. If I swipe up on the home screen with 2 fingers, it will hide/unhide the navbar.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remczar69:
You can also use the PAROM with PIE, so the nav keys will be shown after a gesture, or if you don't want to flash a ROM, just use LMT.

Yes, thank you I have just found it and I'm testing it (LMT).

Could be just widgetlocker. 4.2.X increments wouldn't be significant.

The next significant would be 4.3 or 5.0.

I don't think that's a real lock screen because it shows the navigation bar, which is useless in the lock screen.

My SU640 was v20f ICS build when I decided that I wanted to go for custom ROMs for performance and otherwise .

I followed this guide

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1784709

till step 40.

Then booted successfully to Korean GB ROM v10f. I did not follow the guide further, and used SuperOneClick to root my phone.

Now I am rooted , so I install CWM from market...and download CWM image for SU640 from CWM website and flash CWM to mmcblk0p13 using cat command.

Voila!! I am able to boot into recovery.. make a nandroid. So I thought why go on following steps

dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13

dd if=/sdcard/firmware.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1

dd if=/sdcard/baseband.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14

dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p27

because I have a working SU640 with no need for going to AT&T stock ROM. (Maybe I was wrong)

So i Downloaded some SU640 compatible ROMS from Development section and after wiping , flashed the ROM.

So far so good... now I rebooted and :crying: I cant go pass LG logo...

What am i doing wrong ? and do those steps matter ? the copying of images to mmcblks if i have a wroking stock on korean ROM

[HTC One V] GreatCaesar:
So I've come a long way to get to where I am now. I tried to install AOKP or PACman but was lost in a boot loop. I gave up and reflashed the Stock ROM and stayed with it for a while. A couple of days ago I decided to give it another go and reinstalled PACman. I found out about the OTA update and reflashing the previous radio. Did all of that and finally installed PACman and it works flawlessly.....well kinda. Here are the problems I've run into after a perfectly clean install:

Small problems:

* No lock screen

* Paranoid Android settings randomly don't apply after boot.

Bigger problems:

* Can not send more than 140 charcter texts without receiving network problems (any lower works fine)

* NO notifications. None. Zip. Nadda. I've tried changing the UI (Stock, Phablet, Tablet) to see if it would change in any of them. Didn't And notifications was ticked as on when I was in Tablet mode.

I'm not sure what to think about all of this. I have CM10 running on my Touchpad and it works flawlessly. Never had any sort of problem ever with it. But now with this ROM I'm getting screwed over.

Now needless to say, I have tried flashing AOKP the other day just see how it would do. The problem was that it was slow AND showed no notifications. So i should change having problems with the ROM to having problems with my phone.

So at this point I am open to any suggestions or input of any kind regarding this issues.
