How to Apps2SD on Class 2 Sandisk SD Card - G1 Android Development

Okay. So this is pretty easy. And I'm pretty new with this. The insuructions are VERY easy, so pay attention.
Okay the first thing I did was get cyanogens LATEST rom and his new recovery image. Whiped everything and reflashed.
Second, format your sd card using the g1 format option in the sd card and phone storage menu. Now after that go to termanel emulator. Type this
Su
cd /data
wget http://64.105.21.209/bin/lib/droid/sdsplit
chmod 555 sdsplit
exit
Now how much do you want to leave open for the patrion of the card. I'm using 500megabytes free out of an 8gb sd card. So this is what I would type next:
su
/data/sdsplit -nd -fs 7500M (ofcourse you can change this to your liking)
Go through everything. It'll ask you to patrion and wipe "y or n" ofcourse push the y key and hit enter. Go through everything and it will show a new patrion for you if you have done it correctly.
Now shut down. Hold home and power and go to the recovery. CYANOGENS recovery!! And go to move apps to sdcard option. Reboot. And your set! I did this yesterday for my class 2 8gb and it works flawlessly on cyanogens build. Seems to be glitchy with hero, but give it a try anyway. And sorry for the misspelled words, I'm typing all of this directly from my g1. Enjoy

Um...HOw is this any different from what we already have and know? SDSPLIT from MartinFick, yes obvious. You can also just download Apps2SD2 by MarcusMaximus and it'll automatically do it for you. Did we really need a new thread for this?

Why was another thread started for this?
We already have threads with AppsToSD instructions.

class2
Yea I know this is obvious. But it was a lot more difficult using a class 2 than a class 6 due to the fact you go in an infinate loop. This is the method to avoid all that for the people that don't have a class 6 card

Running apps off a class 2 Sd card is a bad idea. It's not fast enough and can cause a flurry of force close issues.

Ext2 partition
Does anyone know how to create a ext2 partition using a mac and ext2fs??
I dont see an option to create ext2 format in my disk utility.

Actually the only success I have had is with class 2 cards, I have been running a2sd on my class 2 sandisk for about a month and a half my two class 6 cards fried after a week each this class 2 is going strong and no force closes to complain about ::knocks on wood::
On another note this is a pointless thread since it seems like a copy paste from the sdsplit thread.

my class 2 16gb is running apps2sd perfectly. not sure why you have so many problems with it? i've only had one thing crash and force close. this was the browser and had nothing to do with my sdcard. i had to clear the cache and it worked fine after that.

So the "fact" that you cannot use a Class 2 SD card is nothing more than F.U.D?
What crap. I'm backing up my card and doing it now. hmpffff. What is there to lose?

Quick question will this also work with the original 1gb sd card?

Not likely. But make sure you have another sd card with a rom update just incase your phone starts going in a loop if your goin to try..who knows, you might get lucky

SDcard Unexpectedly removing itself!!!???

Ok im about to blow my lid.. this is the second time im experiencing this problem.
Out of no where my sdcard removes itself. Its actually happen to where my G1 freezes, I actually try to reboot and it goes back into sign in!! Wtf!! my contacts are all gone my Gtalk has to sign back in.. THIS SUCKS. I'm currently on Dude 1.3 Rc2.. I'm an loyal dude rom fan and this has never happen to me.
Its happened twice so far and since the last time it happened ive changed my sd's im using a 4gb class2. Dont tell its the class2 cause Ive been using the same class2 since ive had app 2 sd and never experienced this..
Has this ever happen to anyone or is it a known issue if someone, anyone shed some light on my problem i would greatly appreciate it!!
THanks a million!!
Do your apps remove themselves as well when you have to sign back in? Like a normal wipe? Have you tried this with more than one SD card? How long have you had the phone?
Sounds like it could be hardware related...but trying wiping and reinstalling. Also, try not using APPS2SD and see what happens...because obviously, when your SD card stops working on Apps2SD, the background processes being run off the card are going to crash and lock up the phone, and you're needing to sign in because that data was stored on the card as well.
My friend had a defunct phone where not only could the SD card wiggle a little inside its slot, but the entire slot itself came off the board/wiring it was sodered onto, so if you've dropped your phone on that edge, that could be your problem. Every once in a while, it'll connect, but it can still unconnect at any time, like what you're experiencing.
Ext2 format itself!!
I actually noticed that my sd card is formating itself to Ext2(all 4 gbs) everytime this happens!! and its hell to format it back to fat32 this is got me going NUCKIN FUTS!! Ive never dropped my phone the sd card slot is intact and ive had the phone for quiet a while..
Also i use paragon to partition..
is it a 4 gb micro sdcard?
Edit. never mind didn't fully read it. the size of your sd card is your problem. I had a 4 gb and it pissed me off soooo bad. I don't know what it is about then but the phone doesn't like them. sorry.
yes, class 2

yeah buddy you're out of luck. buy a different size sd card and you will be good to go. I almost was going to try sending my phone back to t-mobile but then I figured since it started when I changed to that size sd card and I heard that they were having so much trouble with them with this phone that I would try a different sd card first. Switched to a 8gb class 6 sd card that I bought at target and things couldn't be working better.
hope this helps.

you don't have to be a **** about it. I am just trying to help. there is no need to say that what I said is "BS" I know that 4 gb sd cards have been known to have problems with these phones.

sorry, I just found that rude. oh well. but if he is having a problem may not just be the sd card size, the problem may lay within the ROM as you said before. I would try talking to dude and see if it is something on his end. If it is I am sure he would be glad to know about it and fix it.
i had this problem with the 1gb microsd that came with my g1! i had a 16g sandisk class2, and it got fried, so i had to use the original 1g as a temporary...it did that all the time, i was using it for a week or two and at least once a day itd do that sh*t. I never figured it out, i just bought a Transcend 16g class 6...works great. Wish i knew the answer for you guys, though, sorry...Hope you get it figured out...
-BMFC
I don't have an answer, but I hope this can add more info to your puzzle.
Same happens to mine every now and then. No reformat though, just pops up an error saying that the sd card has been removed. Then my custom ringtone (which resides on the sd card) stops being used and it reverts the default.
Am running on JFv1.51 ADP and have the stock standard 1gb sd card that came with the adp.
I don't have apps installed on the card, just the cache.
big nu, I know that you say it doesn't matter if it is a class 2 or not but I would just try a class 6 sd card.

I'm sorry I never ment any disrespect in any way when i said its BS my bad.
This actually used to happen to me even before the cupcake update. I used to used a 4gb class 6 card which eventually got fried..so I'm waiting for a new 1 to come in
I know this will seem really strange, but I noticed a trend throughout all the posts....seems like the G1 doesn't like lower numbers Go with a 16 GB, class 6 card and call it good I never had a problem whatsoever with mine, even though I am currently using an 8GB, and Dude's 1.2b. Once I pick up my 16 gig, I will let (you) know how it runs.
i keep having the same problem and i am running jf 1.51 us no themes or anything

D2G not liking my new SD card

hey everyone, i recently got a new Patriot 16gb class 10 micro SD card, and its blazing fast, but i have problems with it, it works perfectly fine when i format it but once i start syncing my music to it, it causes my phone to freeze up and starts FC'ing all my programs, and when the screen turns off it doesnt turn back on and i have to reboot it. When i put in my old SD card it reads and functions perfectly.
what could be causing the problem? i have the exact same files in my new SD card as in my old one, so it couldnt be any of the files, can the D2G support class 10 SD cards? i tried SBF'ing and starting fresh but i still have the same problems, and formatting the drive and syncing the files again doesnt help. i even used h2testw to verify that the card isnt fake and it isnt.
You really need to stick to Kingston and SanDisk <= class 6
Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL
unfortunately, the droid series of phones dont support class 10 cards, it took me a very long time searching, but i found that out. either way, i traded my card for a class 6 card with my friend, so im fine, even though i downgraded, thanks.
I wouldn't be surprised if it could be patched at some point to support class 10.
But probably not on a locked Bootloader of the D2G
From what I read, its the hardware that doesn't support class 10 cards, from what I read only the desire HD class of phones and the atrix support class 10 cards

ok, what the hell is going on? i put in a 16gb class 6 card in my D2G and it acted up in the same way it did with the class 10 card, same thing with a class 4 card, what the hell is wrong? this is really pissing me off because ive wasted a lot of money on these sd cards, and none of them are working, my D2G only seems to like the standard 8gb that came with it.

Did you unmount and then remount the cards?
i tried everything at this point, if it doesnt freeze my phone it cant unmount, the few times i manage to unmount it and format it, i try to sinc my files back onto it and it starts freezing up again, im pretty sure at this point that its something wrong with my phone and not the sd cards, this has been happening with every 16gb sd card i can find
No offense, but are you sure it is indeed a SanDisk and not a Chinese cheap fake clone?
Yes it is indeed sandisk, I bought it off of newegg, not ebay where they sell the chinese clones, I ran h2testw to ensure it was up to spec and it is.

so no one knows whats wrong with it? im thinking i might have to rma my phone...
I'm having a similar issue with my D2G, and a 16GB Class-4 Lexar SD card. I used 'rsync' to copy all my data from my 8GB card to the 16GB, and it will boot up and work for a minute or so, then it either freezes up, or the screen turns off and I can't turn it back on again.
The only thing I have not tried is to use the phone to format the card. I almost want to say that when I first installed it, it seemed to work, but I didn't want to have to redo settings or re-download apps that are on the SD card. Maybe there's some data messing it up. I used 'rsync' so it should have gotten all the .hidden files, and respect any permissions, so I'm not sure what the deal is.
Maybe I just need to spend some time, and reload all my apps and redo my settings that might have been saved to the SD? Anyone else have this issue or something similar?

Bruce
I just ordered a 16 gig class 10 and hope that it will work.... as it is a pain to return. Have heard that there is a great speed advantage to using the high speed card and sideloading most photo Apps to the card. Did u get the card to work in the end?

my class 4 16GB card worked, it was any card that was of a higher class that didnt work, to this day i still have my 16GB class 6 card that causes freeze ups and reboots on my phone no matter what i do, i have no idea what causes it to act that way, but im pretty sure that this phone has a class limit of 4
Hi,
Did you copy everything from your old card to the new one, or just start "fresh" with the new card?
Also, did you use the phone to format the new card, or just start using it out of the box?
Many thanks...

i pretty much tried everything, formatting it on my computer, formatting it on the phone, copying files over, starting from scratch and syncing my music, every time it would start out working fine, but once there were a few files on the sd card it would start freezing up, the thing works just fine on my friends inspire 4g, he had it before me and had all his music and files on it and it worked flawlessly, i dont see why it doesnt work on the d2g.
I'm unable to get my class-4 16GB card to work with my D2G, so I'm going to exchange it for a class-2. The phone is supposed to be able to take up to 32GB, correct? I'm starting to think it's an issue with anything > class-2 speed.
the sd card that the phone comes with is a class 4, and my class 4 16gb card worked, it might be your sd card as someone said earlier

How to move programs to SD card not internal Memory?

Dumped my buggy not impressive Galaxy s 4g today> (love Costcos 3 months policy) and picked up G2x. So far extremally impressed!
One question is the Costco phone guy handed my the 16gig micro SD card from the Galaxy as he said he had extras from dead phones. I said THANK YOU! and installed. However when using AppstoSd program it only see's internal mem, and Internal SD 5gs. It does not see or give option to move to my 16g Sd card?
My HD2 and Samsung worked great with AppstoSD. Am I missing something? I mean I guess the 1.2gig and 5gigs of internal is enough. But I like to also use the SD card for programs to not overload internal memory.
I have not rooted yet, will do that so I can get my Titanium backup working to see it I can do it with that.
Thanks!

First thank you for responding. I am not a newbie but have been rooting and testing my Hd2's for past year. My first non HTC phone in awhile was the vibrant s4g, it had its own problems with very low internal memory.
So I was excited this phone had 8 gigs plus now my 16 gig card. I have not been on these forums so I did not know it was a known issue Sorry.
So to clarify, there is no workaroud? But can I not just use root explorer and move files to the SD card? I understand apps to sd wont do it automaticly. But I plan to put my music and movies at least on SD... What would even be the use of the manufacturer putting SD slot on phone if you could not use it?
Ira that is what I do. SD card = sdcard/external_SD
Or something to that effect. I plan to keep my apps2sd on internal and SD for straight storage and backups.
From the sound of it, the clockwork mod can access the microsd so at least backups will be off the device.

What I have been doing is the basic copy and paste. I copy the app or video ect. from the sd card and paste it on the ext/sd card. If there is a faster oor easier way please let me know. I am rooted and this is the first phone I ever had with this kind of a set up with the sd card. I prefer the other way much better ala Nexus One.

That is correct. In a file manager etc. you can locate your SD Card by going to the ExternalSD folder (path: SD Card/ExternalSD). The "SD Card" is actually the internal memory, and the "External SD" is the actual SD Card. When you plug your phone into a PC two different drives come up, one for the internal and one for the SD Card. From what I know you can't put apps on your actual SD Card. However music, pics, etc. all work just fine. I have all my music on my SD Card and everything else on the internal.
P.S. When opening the internal memory in a PC it will still have an ExternalSD folder, but it will be empty. I would advise not deleting it.
There's something like 1.5GB just for apps. What the heck are you doing to "overload" it??

GPS maps will easily overload the internal SD card. If they let the map location be set, that would fix it, but most do not (yet).

General questions about MicroSD, error check and so on

Hey dear XDA peeps!
Ive got a couple of questions about microsd here
Ive got one 8GB Transcend card which I bought in the beginning and it seems to be working good. I then bought another 32GB Kingston card. It has worked pretty good but now it seems it is kinda fubared.. Ive unmounted it from the phone and connected it straight to the computer and Im having some problems copying stuff from the card. Which it was from the phone too..
How do I check the sd card for errors and fixes them? I dont have to keep the data on it.
What makes the sd card break? I understand how regular old harddisks die but what about sd cards? =)
And what brand for SD card shall I buy for the phone that have the best reliability?
Im trying to format the sd card but it just hangs and refuses to format it so I guess the card really is fubared :/
So what card brand do you recommend for best quality?
I've tried them all. SanDisk has the best microSD cards for the money. They are also faster than spec'ed. If you can't get SanDisk, get Kingston.
Transcend is the slower than SanDisk or Kingston. I've heard good things about Patriot but never tried them. Stay away from off-brands or you risk serous problems.
For any mobile phone get a Class 4 SanDisk. Format it using SDFormatter.

Right click the SD in windows explorer, hit properties, tools, check disk. what makes SD card go out is every flash storage has a set amount of writes, after those they start to go out. Whatever you do though, do NOT defrag a flash based storage, you'll kill it. I use a Kingston 4GB in mine and I've had my SD for years (before this phone it was used to boot operating system installs on my laptop and used for my DS flashcart

Bears repeating...
Do NOT defrag Flash-based storage, you will kill it. Flash memory doesn't need defragging because it does not have mechanical heads like a magnetic hard drive.

Warnings with SD cards for A2

So I recently ordered a Sandisk Class 4 16 gb sd card for my Atrix 2. I wanted to be able to keep a backup of a ROM at all times while having 500 songs on my phone..but 2 gb just didnt cut it.
So i tried to connect the card with my phones USB cable while having it in the device, but it just wasnt showing up on the computer. I had to end up using a card reader.
It still works...just something to keep in mind while buying SD cards.

In order to view files on your sdcard on your computer, you have to select the "USB Mass Storage" option.

thats probably it. I had this happen off and on until I let android format it. my recomendation would be to put it in your computer and format it as fat32 then put it in the phone and have it format it
Thanks a lot ill try that
Although problems do not seem to be prevalent with the slower class cards, it might be a good idea to follow Patriot's advice regarding formatting. The suggestion was posted by Patriot in response to a review of a 32GB class 10 microSDHC.
Patriot acknowledged a problem with hemorrhoid OS and 32GB class 10 cards and suggested a temporary fix of performing a full format on a Windows PC with a 32kb allocation size, obviously FAT32 since stock hemorrhoid does not recognize NFTS.
The reply can be found in this review although the specific page will change if more reviews are added.

Be patient... they'll likely come sooner or later.
I got a 16gb class 4 sandisk and I am formatting it in my computer using following method:
I inserted the memory card in my E71 and connected it to my computer in mass storage mode. Then I started formatting using fat32, 32kb through my computer. But it is taking ages. Since last 2 hours, only 35% is completed. My questions:
1) Can i stop the format in between ? Or will it lead to certain faults?
2) Is the format this slow? Or should I try formatting it by putting it in adaptor and putting the adaptor in laptop slot and then format?

I remember reading somewhere that some class 10 SD cards don't play nice for the Atrix 2. If that is so then what brands are the ones that do work well for the Atrix 2? I'm still rockin the 2gig, and well it just isn't cutting it.

I'm using a Kingston 32GB Class 4 card, which is actually in my SGS3 now from my A2, and I have never seen anything to complain about with it. I still hit high benchmark scores as noted with my A2 as well as my SGS3, thinking though that I may try a higher rated class sdcard for the SGS3, since it doesn't seem to have the issues that the A2 has seen. But, a little more digging around has to be done before I make that kind of jump! (Better safe than sorry!) But, yes, the Class 10 cards will -eventually- give you grief if you try to use one with the A2. Not sure the 'scientifically-proven' answer to give here, just know that from everything I have seen, which has been substantial enough for me to believe that...
Sandisk 16gb Class 4 card doesnt work. The phone restarts.
32GB Class 4...perfect here!

You should try a re-formatting of the sdcard, as you likely have some corrupted app data/other data that is causing the rebooting. A Class 4 card should give you no problems like this, unless you have some issues like I just mentioned.
And if you're trying to restore app data from, say, Titamium Backup, I recommend you do not do this. Just try a fresh format of the card, and do not restore data to it. Run your phone afterward for a good while to test. If your phone continues to reboot after you have tried this, changes are that you can rule out the possibility of the cause being due to the sdcard, and we can explore other possible known culprits...

+1 formatting the SD is good...I've had this card in three other devices and it works flawlessly after formatting when major changes are made. (FXZ, SBF, switching ROMs ect.)

I just put an 8gb class 4 SD card in my phone. I formatted it via the phone twice and rebooted. My camera saves pictures and videos that say they can't be opened when I try to go play them. And Doggcatcher has the majority of my podcast downloads failing. This has persisted after a couple reformats. Thoughts?
