They just redefined data partition to sdcard, you can do this with MOD's available in Sensation Android Development

Unfortunately, i've tried that but had no luck (or i'm possibly doing something wrong).

I've downloaded the TWRP 2.8.7.0 from there, installed the ROM, booted, installed the MOD and after the next boot, said I need to enter my password for Android... :confused:
[HTC Sensation] ivanich:
TWRP 2.8.7.0 - that's the case, always use latest TWRP
[HTC Sensation] Sefy:
But that's the only TWRP that exist on the MOD page...

I'm sorry, but there really need to be straight-forward instructions on how to properly install the ROM, eg:

1) Install this specific TWRP (link...)

2) Install ROM

3) Install GAPPS (or not yet?)

4) Reboot

5) Install MOD

6) (now install GAPPS?)

Anyway, I appreciate the hard work, but if you guys want to get less questions from idiots like me, we need

real instructions on what to do and what files to get, since there is too much contradicting information here ;)

A single place, that gives us step-by-step with the proper links to install ROM with large Data partition...
[HTC Sensation] ivanich:
If someone write such instruction I will post it on the first page, but I'm not using any mods that's why can't help you with this. Simple logic tells me that you should Install TWRP, then flash ROM and GAPPS, flash MOD, reboot. However, link for TWRP at the first page.
[HTC Sensation] pbazw:
steps

1) Install this specific TWRP (link...)

2) Install ROM

3) Install MOD

4) Install GAPPS

5) Rebot enjoy

FYI my experience you have to use a older version of TWRP unless Ivanich has may changes to TWRP , the new version do not see sd ext. your backup will not have the the sd ext.

try TWRP-2.8.7.0-pyramid-r18

hope this helps
[HTC Sensation] Sefy:
In that case, i'll take it as a challenge ;)

Once I get it to work, i'll write it all down and send you! :good:

Here's the trouble I keep running into:

1) TWRP 2.8.7.0 r18

2) Installing ROM/Gapps

3) Rebooting

4) Settings Up

5) immediately I get a message of Unsupported SanDisk

If I let it Initialize then of course everything is lost, if I don't, it's unusable.

Is anyone else running into this sort of thing?

Ivanich, what is the recovery.img file in your drive cm13 shared folder ?

Thanks for the twrp 3.0-M2 build
[HTC Sensation] WSZR:
I can't backup in the TWRP version 04/06. You too? :(
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
If you flash one of the sd-ext mods you need to have a second partition on sdcard called an sd-ext and you always need to flash mod straight after flashing ROM in the same recovery session. The recovery that's in my drive is outdated and is ivanich's but modified to read sd-ext as data etc for the plus mod and is not necessary. The flashable zips are responsible for modifying the data location. If your using the plus mod on cm13 you need version 4 and not 3 as it's for cm12.

I'll go through mods when I have sometime and check things over because I haven't updated for little while.

Edit: [MENTION=1788319]pbazw[/MENTION] if using the plus mod, I flash after gapps so it replaces the keyboard lib with the correct one for gesture typing.

I just updated the plus mod for cm13 too and is the one I use, if there's any related problems using sd-ext mods report it here so doesn't clog up this thread, thanks.

Also just updated to latest cm13, noticed some new apps like camera and a screen recording app :D:cool::cool:
[HTC Sensation] abishai:
Hello! I'm a new CM13 user, I'm migrating from old CM11 phone and a little frustrated

1. I used encrypted phone with password on boot and pin on unlock and I remember I could configure it from settings. Looks like this setting has gone :( I connected adb and used cryptfs to change password, however if I use pin, but set password, the data is lost as I have only pin keyboard during boot, so I'm limited to have password for boot and password for lock. I missed something or the sutuation is really grim ?

2. I have no animation on data transfer in status bar for cell network and wifi, so I can't tell if phone using internet or not. Is it tunable?

3. Looks like dchp is not working, but I can be mistaken. My home wifi connection stuck on 'obtaining IP address', but works on manual ip assign. Is it true?

4. This ROM looks alive :) If I upgrade to newer revision, should I wipe cache or I have to full reinstall? I updated CM11 within the same ROM without any issues.

[HTC Sensation] martix90:
Hi,

I'm trying for days now, but I did not make any advance.

My data+system partition was damaged by the faulty version of TWRP a year ago.

Because of this, [MENTION=1909299]hinxnz[/MENTION] made a special version of his Mod for me. Until now, this worked perfectly, but after a full wipe, it doesn't.

This how I tried it:

1. Format SD-Card with TWRP 3.0.0 M2 to have 3 partitions (SD-EXT (EXT4), cache and Storage(FAT32)).

2. Install ROM (works)

3. Install MOD from hinxnz (works)

4. Install OpenGapps (nano)

Step 4 fails at the end, because it cannot unmount /data.

If I first install the gapps and the MOD second, it doesn't make a difference.

I know that I have to flash everything in one session...

I can boot android now, but there are no Gapps installed.

Also I get notifications that my SD-Card would be damaged. But why? The partitions are correct if I understood it correctly.

Can [MENTION=4329165]ivanich[/MENTION] or [MENTION=1909299]hinxnz[/MENTION] give some advices how to get it to work, please?

Thanks very much :)

i have many reboots. My mobile is almost empty, only whatsapp y spirit FM. I have bought a new SD, class 10 to be sure it is not an SD access problem, but it is still rebooting many times every day, and I refer every 3 or 5 minutes, even I don't type the pin number, it reboots after several minutes again.
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
Could be bad download ^^

Try download again, fresh install without adding anything and see.

Are you using v1.4 or ? Send me your /fstab.pyramid and I'll take a look.

With gapps you'll need to modify the updater script to not relate installation with the data partition. If you want, send it to me too but just the updater script and binary from gapps.zip/META-INF/com/google/android/
[HTC Sensation] rasikreality:
Okay... I'm using a MOD that's on XDA to use sdcard as data but is not hinxnz's MOD because I don't know how to make the partitions on my sdcard to make it work. Anyway my phone doesn't reboot. It stays on a bootloop every time I try to install the modified Ivanich's sd-extCM13 and the Open GApps. Can anyone tell me which type of partitions I need to do on my sdcard to use hinxnz MOD? Currently I'm using Ivanich's last version of TWRP, but I've read I need a modified recovery to make this work. Is it right?

Actually I have a 64GB SanDisk Extreme sdcard which 50 GB as FAT32 primary and the rest of the memory as ext4 primary.

Found many java errors with com.android.dialer.incall , but also sensormanager crash which probably caused soft reboot. I saw they did something with dialer last 3-4 days.

Yes you are right how is it possible double sha1 check a file only contains one sha1 check....

Anyway any possible way to remove or skip sha1 check.

I have already tried sha1 check value replacing a/c to system.new.dat files that i use.
[HTC Sensation] ivanich:
It checking different fs blocks on system partition that's why sha1 for those 2 checks not identical. So there is nothing wrong with it.

[HTC Sensation] devrruti:
What trick do you use to install gapps without keyboard errors and swipe writing feature enabled?

I have the latest twrp by hynxnz, I install cm13, then SD ext mod plus 4, and then gapps.

I have also tried by putting the text file called gapps-config.txt in the same directory with this word in it: skipswypelibs. This fixed the error but swipe didn't work then

I've tried with opengapps pico (aroma version doesn't even work? It got stuck) and with deltadroid gapps

What am I doing wrong?
[HTC Sensation] ger_kar:
You have the TWRP recovery of Ivanich take.

Then only the ROM then Gapps and then the boot Mod-Plus. 4

So no keyboard error occurs more.
[HTC Sensation] devrruti:
Thanks I will try with ivanich twrp and order, but I think you need specifically the twrp from hinxnz if you want to use his sdext plus mod. Something about the partitions, please correct me if I'm wrong
[HTC Sensation] ger_kar:
First, I can not speak English, all translated with Google.

I use the Ivanich Rome CM13 and Bud Mod Plus 4 on from the first day.

I also had this keyboard error, but I are the Boo-Mod-Plus 4 install after the Gapps, I no longer had the error.

I have in Germany at Android Help a different theme about it.

Hello, I partitioned a 8GB SanDisk SD card using latest ivanich TWRP recovery, hoping to use it with the SD-EXT Mod, 2GB ext4 sd-ext partition, no swap.

But after reboot, clean install of latest ivanich CM13 ROM, and Gapps nano, the sd card is not recognized, not even the FAT partition.

It says "Unsupported SanDisk SD card" "This device doesn't support this SanDisk SD card. Touch to set up in a supported format", and it offers to format the card as Portable Storage or Internal Storage. If I format it erases both partitions (sd-ext and FAT).

How can I partition the SD card to use with SD EXT Boot MOD ? Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] mcfouch:
With SD-Ext Mod, a fast sdcard (class10) make a real difference.

I think you have validated that your sdcard work well in your pc or other.

You may need to reboot in recovery to let the kernel see the new partitioning.

AFAIK, last Ivanich twrp don't handle SD-EXT but if present on sdcard you can use sd-ext mod

1st partition : primary, formatted with Fat32 filesystem (seen as SDCARD)

2nd partition : primary, Linux type and formatted with ext4 or f2fs (preferred) filesystem.

You can go on Advanced/Terminal in TWRP and use

fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk1

to check or fix the job done by twrp.

mkfs.fat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1

to format 1st part with fat32

mkfs.f2fs /dev/block/mmcblk1p2

to format 2nd part with f2fs

You can do all in command line like on Linux box and a card reader.

With cm13, the preferred way by Ivanich seems to be all sdcard as adoptable storage.

[With adoptable storage, if you really want a portable partition, GPT partition scheme can be manipulated by sm command (storage manager) but it's an other story.]

After that, format /system (ext4) /data (f2fs) /cache (f2fs), flash cm13, sd-ext mod, and gapps.

reboot system.

Enjoy.
[HTC Sensation] andreipaval:
Thanks man, I've tried as you suggested but did not work.

So I formatted from scratch and partitioned (2GB sd-ext) the SD card in the latest TWRP recovery by Ivanich, then I ran those 3 commands in terminal in TWRP, they were successful.

But when I booted the latest CM13 ROM by ivanich the SD card was not recognized by the system: "Unsupported SanDisk SD card".

So, is there any recovery that can partition an SD card in a way that will be recognized by the Marshmallow CM13 ROM, and used with SD-Ext MOD ?

I don't want to use Adoptable Storage.
[HTC Sensation] mcfouch:
TWRP-2.8.7.0-pyramid-f2fs-r9.img have sd-ext support.

Try to switch on that version to make partition and format your sdcard in TWRP gui but I doubt it will be better.

Remind to switch on TWRP-3.0.M2-0-pyramid.img and reboot recovery before flashing rom, mods & gapps.

Never had a similar case.
[HTC Sensation] andreipaval:
Hello ivanich. Thank you for the great ROM. Does your custom version of the TWRP recovery have any way of wiping an sd-ext partition ?

I use a partitioned SD card with the SD Boot MOD, and apart from re-partitioning and reformatting the entire SD card, and losing all it's contents,

I see no other option just for wiping the second partition sd-ext.
[HTC Sensation] mcfouch:
Arf sorry I maybe not clear.

Twrp 2.8.7 : you can wipe & format sd-ext in graphical user interface.

Twrp 3.0 : go in terminal and use mount and rm command to wipe or mkfs.f2fs or mkfs.ext4 to format.

Device for the 2nd partition of sdcard is /dev/block/mmcblk1p2

You can flash twrp img file from inside twrp. So it's easy to switch from one version of twrp to the other.
[HTC Sensation] Ephemerid:
Hello. If i use screen lock (pattern etc) and activate "Directly show pattern view", the clock, notification bar etc become invisible. Is there a way to fix this?

[HTC Sensation] andreipaval:
Using latest TWRP 3.0 recovery from ivanich:

- mount command said no such device "/dev/block/mmcblk1p2"

- rm -rf command seem to run successfully but did not clean the partition, all the files remained

- mkfs.ext4 command "not found"

Any other hints ? Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] mcfouch:
Give us the output of the command 'ls /dev/block/mmcblk1*' (without quote)

If mmcblk1 is listed give us the output of 'fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk1'

Edit : you are right there is no mkfs.ext4 in Busybox.

Formating a device with ext4 fs is done by the command mke2fs -t ext4 ....

Hey there,

First of all, thank you for making this old model still updated, it's pretty... sensational (see what I did there? Okay I'm out). So yeah, I'm surprised such a recent version of Android works fine on such an ancient model, except for one thing... it can't detect my SIM card, and even if it does I have no signal. Works really fine on the stock ROM. I have the version that works with Bell Canada (Sensation 4G), unlocked to work on other networks (such as Koodo, which uses TELUS, again, I'm surprised how it's this easy to pull off on HTC phones), did the superCID thing, I updated to latest radio.img I found (11.76C I believe?) with HBOOT 1.27 (should I upgrade?), I messed up with the RIL to no avail (baseband says unknown unless I use the RIL that comes with the ROM), used your version of TWRP, I updated to the latest version of the CM ROM, TWRP, nothing works. If it's of any help, it says "Invalid Network Mode (-1). Ignore." in cellular network options and everything is greyed out.

Any help? Thanks.
