If "a2sd convert-ext3" doesn't work try partitioning it through recovery. But before partitioning, make sure you back up your sdcard. Because when you partition your sdcard, it will erase everything on your sdcard. So try that.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mjybarr:
I believe this problem is due to Flippy's Kernel that is V2 FAST. You can still mount USB through recovery, or you can try and uncheck USB Debugging under settings>applications>development>usb debugging

Update: I followed your advice and redownloaded all the files and did a complete wipe then reflashed V2-update, and the gps was still broken. I then did another complete wipe and flashed in CM7.0.0 w/ gapps 20110307 and was still having gps issues. I decided to try again with meXperia v2-update after doing a complete wipe and fixing permissions in recovery before I booted with the fresh install, and it worked! I'm still unable to restore any of my recoveries prior to this flash, they keep saying md5 mismatch. No worries though, I plan on using meXperia as my daily rom and I can just flash in the roms I had stored in nandroid fresh. I'm not quite sure what fixed it, I had fixed permissions after flashing the rom every time, but hey it not only works - it gets a lock within 10 seconds everytime.

Thank you for all of your work on this rom, I absolutely love everything about it, and your support with any problem I've had is greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work, I can't wait for the next update

Ok, I got a big problem people. First I matched lib's to my radio using Clockworkmod. I don't think that was a problem. Then, i assumed i had an ext partition on my card and i went into terminal and ran a2sd cachesd command. Terminal went ballistic and went over every app rejecting them and then said something at end real fast that i couldn't read cus it rebooted quik. Then phone was stuck on splash screen so i did battery pull n restore backup thru recovery. My problem is that i cant update or download apps now, at all. Even thru file manager i cant install a app because it says not enuff space. But i clearly have that space. I flashed rom fresh but problem persists. I need help!!!!!!

"Insufficient storage space" is the error message for failure of downloads. What did i do. Fml
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mjybarr:
Dang bro! What I would do if I were you is use amazinglarry's SuperwipeG2+, then flash rom and xapps. Maybe also try to delete the "android" and "lost.dir" folders, before flashing superwipe as well. I hope your phone isn't messed up......

Has anyone notice the death grip? I lose almost two bars of wifi if my finger get close to the top of the phone. This kills me when the key board is out. I only get this on cm Rome and this rom. All sense Rome that I have been on does not do this.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MajorTom_:
no death grip here. :/

gonna try out the one with pershoots kernel to see if that helps with battery issue

Good News:

I re-installed the rom but before installing I wiped with "wipe data factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache, and wipe battery stats. then i deleted the mentioned folders and installed. I did this with the version containing Flippy's kernel. I don't know what it was but now I get good battery life.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] asj2583:
Lower your clock speed or remove the tv shutoff animation and this should solve the issue with phone screen on waking up. This has something to do with overclocking to high.

Another thing is, the difference between meXdroidMod meXperia V2-UPDATE and meXdroidMod meXperia V2 FAST-UPDATE is only in the kernel?

If so; why don't you release one edition and include in it Kernel Manager to switch kernels?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Gwanatu:
You know, I've been having a similar problem, and it's only gotten worse for some reason. It's almost like the A2SD script stops working or something, because the phone will end up having to be rebooted because it's running so slow, and then once it reboots it's like I've just reflashed the rom or something, because the 2 stock launchers for the rom are the only available ones, and all my apps are gone. Usually restarting again fixes it, but it had started to become a problem because it was doing this more than once in a day. I tried to do another full format of the SD card, repartitioned the SD card with SD-EXT, flashed V2 Update, and still had the same problem. I don't really know what the deal is, but I didn't have this problem before meXperia I think. I'm going to try another rom with A2SD support for a little while and make sure that it's something related to that and not the phone. I'd be happy to help you guys troubleshoot it, just tell me what I need to do. I love my meXdroidMod and want to keep using it.

I've come to find out using the built in mountsd init script sometimes doesn't initialize my ext partition. I fixed it so it mounts in every boot pretty easily, it's an init script

e2fsck -p /dev/block/mmcblk1p2;

mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /sd-ext;

I'm not sure if it's required but you can mount the partition as ext4 if the rom needs it

mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 -t ext4 /sd-ext

This is just speculation, with my sdcard, it was only being automatically mounted maybe one of five times. Could be the class who knows.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Gwanatu:
Will that be included in the new version, or is it something I should run by itself?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
This is the reason why you shouldnt be flashing something that reboots splash screen multiple times on first boot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Gwanatu:
This issue only came about starting with the last update, so I'm not sure if something has changed or not to affect this, but I'm sure it'll be fixed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] coszy:
after this happened, I open my terminal emulator,

i type su

a2sd check

the result was something like "dalvic in internal storage" .. something like that, sorry I can't remember,

then i type a2sd cachesd

the phone rebooted by it self and than all my apps back again.

Q : does your phone reboot by it self? Mine does, but not to often. Btw I'm

using 16gb class 10.

ps.

if my info is misleading please pardon me, i'm not a tech person and dunno anything about script and etc. But this is what i do to help myself.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] coszy:
sorry for the silly question, but where should I type those script?

is it from terminal emulator?

thank you
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
I'm not positive that this is the problem you're experiencing but you'd open terminal and do this:

su

mount -o remount,rw /system

echo "e2fsck -p /dev/block/mmcblk1p2; mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /sd-ext;" > system/etc/init.d/05mountext

chmod 755 /system/etc/init.d/05mountext

mount -o remount,ro /system

sync

reboot

now you'll have two scripts in init.d that sill be run to try and mount the ext partition if the first fails, then mountsd that is built in will try, but if that fails you should already have sd-ext mounted on the right mountpoint. if you get issues delete the file you created, or try deleting the mountsd script

su

mount -o remount,rw /system

rm /system/etc/init.d/05mountext

-or-

rm /system/etc/init.d/05mountsd

I removed the 05mountsd and left my script there, i tested moving /data/data, /data/app and /data/dalvik-cache and all of them booted properly.

shell scripting:

mount -o remount,rw /system #mounts the system partition read/write

e2fsck #similar to windows disk checking utility, -p automatically fixes any errors received

echo #this command creates an output and prints it, when using the > argument it means to print the echoed command into a file, in this case we echoed the commands into a file called 05mountext

chmod #sets access permissions, init.d relies on xbin run-parts, and run-parts requires that all files be run in alphabetical order and that they are executable or read,write,execute (755, 777)

I think some people are really missing the point of AOSP based OS on our phones..... I don't know about every one else here, but the reason I chose Android phone, and specifically the htc g2 was for diversity and customization. By some people's thinking, once a series of commands (aka a 'script') has been done, NO one else is allowed to use any combination of code that does something similar. I have to disagree....

Thus is the reason I went to try their ROM, because I knew they were using different A2SD scripts and wanted to narrow down the issue. I'm going to see if the scripts that were posted by amazinglarry work or not, so I'm back to meXdroid for the time being to give that a shot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Gwanatu:
Just did it, hopefully it works like a charm and fixes my issue! Thanks for explaining what stuff does too. I'm very interested in this stuff (why else would I be here right?), so it's great to learn little by little how to do things.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
Below applies if your ext partition is initialized at startup and you can see the contents of sd-ext, so mount manually in recovery if you want to do it from there with the shiver command I posted then...

Understand, the script I posted is just to make sure ext mounts. To get apps2sd, I usually just keep it simple with a symlink I.e.

Assuming you completely wiped:

At some point you'll want to setup the link, the ln -s command is for a symbolic link, if you work with windows these are basically shortcuts, but since it's a symbolic link the system treats the shortcut like it's the actual file/location so first we nuke the data directory we want in the sdcard (there are cleaner ways to do this without a wipe and with no data loss, I'll go over that later, for the sake of brevity in an already long post I'll continue..

Apps2ext:

rm -rf /data/app

mkdir -p /sd-ext/data/app

ln -s /sd-ext/data/app /data/app

Dalvik2ext

rm -rf /data/dalvik-cache

rm -rf /cache/dalvik-cache

rm -rf /sd-ext/dalvik-cache

mkdir -p /sd-ext/dalvik-cache

ln -s /sd-ext/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache

ln -s /sd-ext/dalvik-cache /cache/dalvik-cache

sync

killall system_server

Data/data to ext

rm -rf /data/data

mkdir -p /sd-ext/data

ln -s /sd-ext/data/data

rm # remove command, deletes files -r is recursive, meaning it wel delete the folder and all that folders children -f to force (not necessary most times)

ln # link, you mostly will use this in conjunction with -s (symbolic) other options for hardlinks are available and not used too much in the context we use or devices

mkdir # make directory -p is basically so if the directory exists there are no errors (lol never cared enough to know what the p actually means... Sorry)

killall - this is your manual terminal force closer. Kills apps and services, I haven't tested with the data and app links. the above dalvik commands will relocate both dalviks to sd-ext then reset the system server (set props, other userland changed take effect - soft reboot style (takes some time to rebuild dalvik-cache) also use killall to end app processes by prices name I.e. killall com.cooliris.media (gallery)

Questions? Accusers that these simple lines of bash scripting are stolen?

I just love that understanding a process and implementing it yourself is so taboo and contemptable. I learned the same way, I asked firerat back in the day, he explained what the command did, I knew what I was doing. It's a circle. And it wasn't fun, because anyone who knows the guy knows he had no patience for stupidity, of which I was in great supply with my first android phone.

The apps2sdsimple zip I posted earlier for the g1 just runs the data/app links but first it moved all the apks for you, it was a super simple implementation that anyone with any rom could use. It would work for the g2 as well. Maybe I'll open another post that I can get trashed in for helping out. I love the punishment.

My opinion, and we all have them: More mess then necessary, unless you're hurting for space, it's my opinion that your sdcard ext partition will give little to no perceived improvement in stability/speed.
