[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
@hcm228 - There should not be any problems if you partitioned correctly (or rather via the presets anyway) but if your still running out of memory on the phone, you may need to setup a2sd again. Just to ask, did you check the amount of memory you have left on the sd card before and after you partitioned? After you partition, what you set for the ext2 or ext3 partition will not be shown, just what is left of the fat32 partition. Also I went ahead and put a how to for setting up the partitions from Amon_Ra recovery.

Here are the instructions to do so:

1. connect phone to computer/select "charge only"

2. go to your android-sdk/tools folder from the command prompt

3. type 'adb remount' to remount the device

4. type 'adb shell' to enter the console of the phone.

5. type 'a2sd remove' to remove any previous settings

6. type 'a2sd install' to setup apps2sd.

7. if needed, type 'a2sd swap' to enable swapping to the sdcard

8. also if needed, type 'a2sd cachesd' to send dalvik cache to sd card.

You may end up having to uninstall and reinstall the programs you already downloaded from the market for a2sd to put on the memory card because of setup info not put into the rom correctly (by yours truly btw). Sorry for that.

@EVERYONE!!!

I would like to see your logs for a2sd to see if we are all having the same issue. Here is what mine looks like:

(to do this, get to the adb shell and follow:-)

a2sd install (either just going into it with already installed, or after i do a a2sd remove):

[✔] Boot image init.rc patched.

Mainly what I am looking for is if the checks are all in the same place (or anything different) and if it shows

"swapon: /dev/block/mmcblk0p3: Device or resource busy"

and

"rm: cannot remove '/data/.noa2sd': No such file or directory"

This could directly stem from the fact that I didn't patch the boot image like I was supposed to for this to work 100% but just to check I have posted to the a2sd thread to see what they think.

If you want to follow it, here's the link with the questions I asked: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7580354#post7580354

Once we get this issue straightened out, and possibly if Darch has the new a2sd out with a gui apk to use with it, I will be re-compiling SouthPaw! with the fixes/updates to fix our current issues, and I will promote it to SouthPaw!V1.5.

I will have to say it will be yet another wipe/install ROM, but after this, I believe unless something huge comes our way, I will get into scripting and it will all be flashable updates to the rom after that so you don't have to keep backing up/nandroiding every update.
