Sorry, done a search and looked through all posts but can't seem to find a guide to partition sd card for use with apps2sd.

My phone is rooted and have rom manager installed where it looks I can perform the partition. Can someone point me to a noobs guide to partition or give us a hand. I have read about all different extensions to make the partition to but have no idea what they all are. Any help appreciated.
[Desire General] :
Swap - 0

Ext3 - as little or as much as you wish (usually 512-1024mb)

FAT31 - the rest
[Desire General] memphisuklf:
obviously this will wipe the sd card, what about all backups etc. Do i just copy to pc then copy them back when partition is complete?
[Desire General] :
Yes, but remember you will have less space on for data since a part of it will be taken up by Ext3 partition.
[Desire General] memphisuklf:
no problem, cheers for that

does rom manager create the partition as ext 3 as default?
[Desire General] memphisuklf:
ok, seems I now have a problem. Did partition through manager 512mb/0 swap seemed to work fine but now phone won't boot, stuck at htc white screen. Any ideas?

Edit

Ok booted after 4th time of pulling battery. Doesn't look like it partitioned though. on windows I only have H: with 3.18gb
[Desire General] :
I used the Android Recovery Menu from Paul's old rooting tutorial which let me partion the memory card easily.
[Desire General] memphisuklf:
gave up for now, will have a look later on but don't want to mess with it that much as i`m using my stock sd card
[Desire General] jchoong:
I think you already have A2SD installed. I used Rom Manager to do the partition too and it was straightforward. No problems with rebooting though. If you reinstall your apps now, and if you check with a system info apps, you will find that you now have loads of internal memory.
[Desire General] memphisuklf:
ah, ok got 115mb free after installs(Used to have 10mb). So the defrost rom i`m using will automatically use apps 2sd when a partition is found?

Thought I had to set this up with spare parts?

How come I cant see the partition through windows?
[Desire General] :
Windows doesn't recognise linux partitions. Check with Quick System Info if A2SD is working correctly.
[Desire General] memphisuklf:
haha, feel stupid now. Working fine when checked with quick system info. Cheers for all the help guys, much appreciated:)
[Desire General] Xinot:
If u have 4Gb card and in windows you see only 3.2Gb partition, then i think you have ext partition there ok. Windows wont see your ext.

Rom Manager will make ext3 partition in the end of your sd card.

With 512Mb ext + 0Mb swap you will get fat32 partition + ext3 in your SD card.
[Desire General] aljwatson69:
On a similar topic, if I install a 2.2 ROM with Google APS2SD and legacy APS2SD, do I only need to create a partition for the legacy version of APPS2SD? If I just wanted to use the Google version can I just leave the card as it is?
[Desire General] djoni1980:
yep, no formatting is needed for google app2sd
[Desire General] dexter9898:
Here's my experience to Partition the SD card.

1) I rooted my Desire with "UnrEVOked"

2) Flashed the phone with a ROM

3) Then I went to "Market" and download "ROM manager", which has an option to "Partition SD card".

4) Reboot
[Desire General] chrysochire:
There is a related thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731531

I would very much welcome it, if anyone wants to participate in assembling the infos about SD cards....
[Desire General] RetroFlux:
Not the best guide but does work, you may need to adjust the figures depending on what size card you got.
[Desire General] memphisuklf:
Ok, my sd card is partitioned and was working fine until i decided to try to flash a new rom and wouldn't get passed the htc logo screen. Tried recovery with a backup but still wouldn't load, then took sd card out and rebooted but got to the animation screen and didn't boot(Just got a very jerky animation)

Definatley something to do with sd card because i used another sd card with the same backup on it and it worked fine.

Have formatted the original sd card but it still has partition on it and tried using it with phone but again it won't boot.

Has this got something to do with partition, do you think formatting the ext will sort it out. I created the partition through rom manager.

any help appreciated
[Desire General] Beppemi:
Thanks soo much for this link, i will take a look
[Desire General] Software Guru:
Thanks for this, I was asking the same question
[Desire General] chrysochire:
I had a similar problem, and the only solution I found, was to reinstall a stock rom and re-root. It was a pain. But then, I wasn't able to flash any new roms with that sd card anymore. I have not found a solution, whilst I did try to repartition, format my sd card....

The only thing that did work, was to use my old card, which allowed me to flash any roms... So I am pretty sure the new installation of stock rom and re-root was a totally unnecessary panick move on my part.

So one answer could be that your sd card is bricked.... But I am really really unsure about this, so please double check. Try re-partitioning (Gparted solution is your safest bet, see my previous post).

Personnally, I just ordered a new 16gb class 6 card from ebay.... :-(
[Desire General] flyer3:
Hmmm I have a 16GB card and I'm going to partition it with ROM Manager since it seems the easiest way. I know the max size for the ext3 partiton on ROM Manager is 512 MB. Roughly how much apps will that hold? If it's not much would I be able to create a bigger partition with the Linux method?

Thanks!

I got a 32GB sandisk card recently and it is class 2.

I think means its read speed is 2MB/s

So if I have a video encoded at a bitrate of 2500 kbps. Does that mean the SD card is too slow to watch the movie off the memory card?

How about something thats 5000kbps? I'm not sure how that translates into how fast the SD card needs to be.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
It writes at 2mb/s it will be fine for an hd movie almost all cards read at the same speed regardless of class

On another related note doesn't the SD card buffer onto a part of the phone memory and play from there? Therefore making the speed of the SD card not as important?

if i use this charger with the nexus one I run the risk of ruining the battery?

Or can I use it safely?
[Nexus One Accessories] Chopes:
I think you will be alright in terms of damage, but you may want to look at a 1a charger or like a 900ma charger so that when you are using the GPS and all of that it can continue to charge instead of not being able to keep up with the draw from the device(what I am thinking will happen with the power output from the charger you mentioned.

It will charge. Just slowly. And if you are using gps or streaming audio it may not keep up.

[Vibrant General] mi4kidzmom:
Okay so now that I have my vibrant I tested it out (only a few times) but I did test it in different applications, websites, and maps and navigation. Yes in the gps and compass apps it doesn't pick up at all compared to my slide BUT in every other application, on google where it finds your location, on yelp, movie phone, maps, and navigation it finds my location each and every time. It doesn't get me lost, it doesn't show me going in a different direction, and it doesn't show me somewhere else.

What if the configurations or settings are different with samsung, what if the third party app is not completely accurate? Why else would every other program find my location if the app says I am not found by even 1 satellite? I think the"fix" is just a change of setting that helps the app not the gps or the phone.

Time will tell but for me it us working fine for now.
[Vibrant General] ua412:
Well you can do gps tests within the os that say basically the same thing...
[Vibrant General] Oskiee:
Ive used my gps with google navigate nermous times with no problem. in fact, it guided me on a 160mile trip just fine... What problems are people having with their gps?
[Vibrant General] ttabbal:
Well, I've only had the phone for a day, so I'm still getting used to the quirks coming from a G1. GPS so far is the biggest disappointment. Android has been pushing location based stuff since the beginning, so the lack of a solid GPS is really screwing up some of my favorite apps. Locale for instance, it's worthless. It can't ever find me. The G1 always worked fine with it on Donut, Eclair, and Froyo.

Google Maps is the ONLY app I have that seems to even be able to get a rough idea where I am, and even then its circle is pretty big, about 4 city blocks. That's not GPS, that's network location, and it's fine for what it is, but not good enough when there aren't a lot of cell towers around. At home, it puts me out in the middle of a corn field. All the time I'm in maps, the GPS icon is up there blinking at me, telling me it can't lock. I've seen it work a couple times, for a short while. In GMaps and in GPS Test. But it takes a LONG time. The G1 could get a lock indoors in about 10 seconds. The Vibrant takes minutes, even with the A-GPS turned on in the test menus. That's insane. And it's not any better outside with a clear sky view. That might be acceptable, if it could hold the lock, but it doesn't.

Even stranger, in GPS Test, I get a single colored bar saying it's using that signal. There are 6 more with the same or higher signal strength being ignored. Very odd. Something is wrong with this GPS. It could very well be software, but Samsung needs to get on this and fast. If I can't find a way to get acceptable GPS performance within my 14 day period, I will likely return it. That will really suck, as otherwise I really like the device, but I need a decent GPS.
[Vibrant General] Barret1:
This has been my experience as well, and I found the same thing when trying a friend's phone. If only T-Mobile/Samsung would acknowledge that there is a problem and say they are working on it...
[Vibrant General] trey48fan:
No problem here

But as I came from the G1 I use Google Maps exclusively. I haven't had a single problem with it. Inside my house I can get a fix on my location on the map, exactly where it should be. Are you guys using the TeleNav?
[Vibrant General] zoid_99:
I have the same issue... I can only ever lock on to 1 sat. This is not right. My G1 would lock on to many birds.
[Vibrant General] ttabbal:
I wonder if GPS Test is either wrong about that, or more likely, getting bad data from the OS or GPS driver. IIRC they are just parsing the NMEA data from the GPS driver, so "garbage in, garbage out". You don't get 20ft accuracy with 1 satellite being used.

I fooled with the settings in the "GPS fix 101" thread and got the thing working decently. Took a number of tries, and we'll see if it keeps working over time.

This really is something that TMO and Samsung should acknowledge and at least promise a fix for. Preferably with a close release date. And we shouldn't have to wait for Froyo either, get us a fix for JUST the GPS and a lot of people would be VERY happy. Well, that and the compass, that thing is even more worthless than the GPS before the fixes.

For the poster with Google Maps working, did you try with network locations disabled? Is the GPS icon in the status bar flashing or solid? If it's flashing, you DON'T have a GPS lock. Maps seems to be really good at using the network location stuff. I also enabled Skyhook in the GPS settings screen and Maps really seems to like that. Doesn't help with GPS performance though.
[Vibrant General] cashless:
This thread is idiotic.
[Vibrant General] zoid_99:
Wow.. that statement was idiotic. Maybe you aren't having the GPS issues that others are having but this thread is helping me debug and decide weather or not I'm keeping the Vibrant or returning it.
[Vibrant General] Jon C:
You guys are not alone. There is obviously something wrong with either the hardware, or the software. Either way, the buyer's remorse period is halfway through, and neither company has said so much as a peep.

I will definitely be returning my device by the time the remorse period expires. What a shame that would be, because I really love this screen. All it would take is for T-Mobile and Samsung to acknowledge the problem, and state that a fix is on the way.

Here's my post, detailing my contact and findings with the two companies.

It's been a few days now, and I've heard nothing back. Never a good sign. :(

[Droid Incredible General] bradatz:
Does an update.zip exist for the incredible to add busybox to a stock rooted Rom? Or is there anyone willing to make one? I found one for the hero where they stripped down a rom and just left busybox, apps2sd, and Su. It would be greatly appreciated by many noobs like myself.
[Droid Incredible General] neckface:
I believe Stericson has an app out that installs busy box for you with a single click. Just search "Busy box" in the market and it should come up. Not sure as to whether or not it works on the Incredible, as I've an Evo, but it should.
[Droid Incredible General] bradatz:
I tried that but it failed saying either I it couldn't remount or I wasn't rooted.
[Droid Incredible General] TNS201:
I think the unrevoked tool installs it for you.
[Droid Incredible General] bradatz:
I'll try that again, but I used 3.0 to root it. Maybe 3.1 will install it, I thought that was only windows fixes from 3.0
[Droid Incredible General] ejkeebler:
maybe

kind of a rookie here, but couldn't you just install titanium backup and then click the problems button. I think it downloads and install busybox??
[Droid Incredible General] bradatz:
Nice call!!! Worked like a charm. Thx.
[Droid Incredible General] dreamersipaq:
NO

Wouldn't be permenant since NAND is still locked. Would lose it after reboot and have to do same thing over and over after every reboot.
[Droid Incredible General] TNS201:
http://www.unrevoked.com/incredible/payload-update.zip

Apply this payload-update.zip and it will install busybox. Just go to recovery and choose install zip from SD card and then choose this one

Then to test

go to cmd prompt

type adb shell

then when in shell type

busybox and you will see its now installed.
[Droid Incredible General] mattwood2000:
If you want the latest busybox, I've attached 1.16.2 freshly compiled.

One issue I ran into was that all the info on the forums has busybox being installed in /system/xbin. The PATH variable has /system/bin before /system/xbin, so that means the original symlinks to "toolbox" are getting picked up first - I don't know if I'm the only one who was annoyed by ls -al returning "-al: No such file or directory"

I guess "toolbox" didn't support this, so you can either install busybox to /system/bin, or leave it in /system/xbin and create a symlink called toolbox in /system/bin that points to busybox in /system/xbin.

As usual, backup your "toolbox" binary first before removing it from /system/bin.

Now ls -al returns a correct listing and I see no app breakage by the symlink method - Ti Backup runs just fine without needing to install its own busybox.

*edit - I guess this doesn't really answer the OP, but I figured I would share this anyway.
[Droid Incredible General] mattwood2000:
ok so I found a side effect - WiFi doesnt work after this. There seems to be a problem with dhcpcd and the new busybox, even though external dhcp support was compiled in...guess I've got some digging to do...

[Droid Incredible General] Joe92T:
the easy way is just to install titanium backup from the market and then click problems and it will install busybox for you in like 5 seconds
[Droid Incredible General] jdmba:
Not Really

... but it does NOT install the newest busybox; just one which is compatible with Titanium Backup.

Busybox.net shows v1.17 is the latest (unstable) release, and v1.16.2 is the latest stable. Titanium Backup pushes something in the v1.15 area.

http://www.busybox.net/
[Droid Incredible General] bradatz:
Also when I did it through titanium and went to busybox to install latest it said my system had none.
[Droid Incredible General] wraithdu:
I have a busybox 1.16.2 version that I ripped from one of the posted ROMs that I can attach. It works on the Inc, and I think the whole DHCP / resolv.conf thing works too. At least it's the only version I tried where I can get wget working properly. You may need to create /system/etc/resolv.conf with some valid nameservers first though. Let me know if you want me to post it.
[Droid Incredible General] wraithdu:
Hmm, nevermind. I tried with the busybox version I have, and WiFi does not get an IP address. Seems to be the same problem.

If you track it down, when you compile your version check if wget works properly also. There were some issues with that and DNS lookups. Don't forget you may need a valid resolv.conf.
[Droid Incredible General] trunksta:
I second this , I used ones off the rooting forums and it never quite worked right until I let titanium backup install it for me. Also its much easier than pushing files to your device if you are unfamiliar with doing it, because you can download tb from market and it does the work for you
[Droid Incredible General] elborak:
Easiest way to stay current is to install the Stericson app. It can't install it for you due to the NAND lock, but

1) It's trivial to extract it and install manually from the .apk file.

2) It will give you an easy notification via the marketplace that a new version is available.
