@futureshock

true, the best thing to do is to get the devs on board with this, or at least someone who knows more about the startup process than we do.

additionally, do android users for other devices know about image resizing? This isn't technique isn't limited to the HD2...

normally i would accept your request but i currently don't have access to a linux computer (it isn't mine :D), hopefully someone else is up to the task!

Anyone else having the same issue with more than 1GB? I created a 3.9GB data.img file. If I go to market and install anything I get an error saying there is not enough disk space to install this item...although in my phone it clearly shows I have around 3.5GB free. I even adb shelled and saw the partitions are not full.

any suggestions??

problems cm6-htcleo

I'm on cm6-htcleo, i got the 1gb file but i don't see a difference in the storage .
[HD2 Android SD Development] NFauteux:
Would i be able to do this with a rooted HTC Aria? The storage space is the only real disappointment in the aria at the moment.

EDIT:

I used clocwork to perform a nandroid backup to my SD,

in my backup i located the data.img file,

I ran the command and increased it by 256mb in size to 420mb from a starting ~160mb,

I pulled full nandroid backup off of SD and then formatted SD card,

replaced only nandroid backup on card then overwrote the old data.img,

booted into clockwork, tried nandroid restore, and got an MD5 mismatch error.

Does anyone have any suggestions for this? I can really use more space to store apps. I dont need anything crazy like a 1gb data.img

Data instructions

Wait wait wait...

How do I exactly use the new data? Where do I drop it? I can't replace it because when I extract my Android build I don't see anything that says data so I can't replace it.

Step by step instructions would be nice.

Thanks!

EDIT: Nevermind I got it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ALEXRUSS55:
Ok, here goes: when you download a ROM file you should have data.img, i attached a picture of an average android folder. The data.img is the file you must replace, it should have about 200 and something MB of size originally.

What i did:

1st: Back up your applications using Astro file manager( Inside Astro prees the windows key, a bar should show up on the bottom showing you a menu. Go to tools then select Backups. This is very useful, always keep a folder called: backups. And when changing to a new ROM you can just install all of your programs directly. very easy.

2: You can download whatever data.img version that is for your ROM. I had mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense RC1.3a. Downloaded the RC1.2 data.img which is 1GB (even though not the same version it works) and placed it in the android folder, or wherever the files of android are such as those in the picture sample I attached. Copy and replace, and presto!! run haret and you got yourself the 1GB in my case 800+ storage space was left.

I backed up, everything before using Astro and an entire file backup just in case it dosnt work you can just erase all the files and place the backed up ones. It will be like nothing ever happend if you do this.

Good luck guys! hope this helped =D

the one that says the build is a link to the thread of the build if it has 2 links below it its because he has 2 links to download from but most are down, if he can get them all back up i can torrent them

[HD2 Android SD Development] Incarniac:
Boot into WM and replace the data.img in the folder where your Android files are (haret, clrcad, etc). Mine's in \Storage Card\Android\.

Be aware when you replace data.img you lose your settings and installs. As per post #1 in the thread, it's also recommended you either format your storage card or delete all Android related files.
[HD2 Android SD Development] cavemaneca:
Build a better backup

If you are using the Ubuntu LiveCD to try this on an existing system, backup the data.img on windows/mac first.

I did this and just made a copy of the data.img on the drive, and left it "data (copy).img", and did the steps. went to use it and wouldn't boot, so looked back at the drive and all i had was a 0kb file and the copy was missing...

using your manual i cannot extend 512MB data.img to 1024MB data img... some superblock problem....could you please make 1GB data.img for mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense RC1.4 ????

there is my problem when i tried to add only 256MB

sudo dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=256 >> data.img

256+0 records in

256+0 records out

268435456 bytes (268 MB) copied, 1.22736 s, 219 MB/s

homer@ubuntu:~$ e2fsck -f data.img

e2fsck 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009)

e2fsck: Superblock invalid, trying backup blocks...

e2fsck: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open data.img

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2

filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2

filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock

is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:

e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
[HD2 Android SD Development] jubeh:
For those who want the most they can get, here it is (attachments section); a 4GB data.img, ext2 formatted, already e2fsck'd and all.

This image is "universal", you could say. It's got nothing but zeroes and will work on every rom.

Being empty, your system will start fresh, however, here's the way I do it to transfer data from one fs to another:

-put both data images in the same folder, renaming yours to data-old. Only reason we're placing them under the same directory is for quickness of action and order, nothing else.

-mkdir source, mkdir destination on that same directory (again, only for clarity's sake)

-"sudo mount -o loop data-old.img source" (with your original userdata)

-"sudo mount -o loop data.img destination"

-now, in your regular file manager, enable "show all files" and pull all files (or cut and paste them) from source folder to destination folder. Some folders won't copy, don't worry, they're not important.

-Once it's done: "sudo umount source", "sudo umount destination".

Make sure you keep your data-old in case something wasn't transfered or you missed something or it just didn't work, you can go back.

-Try booting with the new 4.3 GB data image, if it works, congrats.

You must be wondering, why 4.3 GB? Well, 4 GiB-1byte (4,294,967,295 bytes) is the maximum file size supported by fat32 file systems, and it just so happens that sdcards are traditionally formatted to fat32.

You can try to change the FS, but it'll bring you much headaches later on since the chip design on them is pretty much designed to work best with fat32, plus there's the whole issue of devices supporting a non-fat32 sd.

With this file, you have the maximum data store you can have, period.

It's 4 flippin GB anyway, I doubt you'll fill it all up before a very long, long time.

The zip file itself is 4MB only because, well, compress a bunch of zeroes and the compressing app says "hey, I have 4,294,967,295 zeroes, don't need them all".

[HD2 Android SD Development] jubeh:
Personally, I use matt froyo, and those don't come with any data whatsoever, so data is generated at first boot, meaning there's nothing on it, which is exactly what this is too, an empty data store.

Other builds include a data image already inside, but I have no idea whether there's something essential already there or not.

Also, I don't understand OP about why he lists files as being compatible with build x or build y, afaik, all data images are ext2 images and nothing more. Again, the difference might be something that the rom poster included inside, which, if you follow my directions, you should be able to transfer to the new image.
