i am trying to flash thyrough my memory card....i have a 1gb sandisk sd card.....i hear something about partition but have no idea what to do please help

PC Partitioning.
The first to do is understand what it is. Then we can actually do it. Other than that, this is NOT a development post. It needs to be moved to the proper sub forum.
Your SD card needs to be FAT32. (Right click on the card while using a card reason and choose partition (if you're in windows.)

Moving apps to the sd card

Please forgive me if this has been covered before, I am a noob. can apps be moved to the sd card using cyanogen, and if so, how?

I'm assuming you got a bigger sd card and want to take them off the new one there is a thread on this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572737&highlight=apps+sd+card, and if your talking about apps2sd is done automatically just need to partition your sd card. Hope this helps. If you need more help just ask.

Is the sd partitioned in the recovery console?

I guess partitioning gives more space for apps, what else should it do?

yes but i changed my sd card after flashing. Do i have to partition manually or is it already done for me

You changed settings, or you changed hardware? You put your old sd-card out, through it away and out a new one in?
Do a datawipe, format sd-card, re-partitionate, then your clear

I was to hesitant for partitioning earleir, but since I create a swap and ext partition
my phone runs super smooth,
So all those who have not yet done it, please go ahead and enjoy the fastest froyo ever.
Backup your SD CARD data to PC before partitioning, else all data would be gone.

[Q] Supreme_Sense-X-a2sd

i must be handicapped!
for some reason i can not partition my SD card correctly. i am using clockwork mod recovery 5.0.2.0. i go in partition the SD card for 512mb 0 swap. format the /sd-ext. everything is all good from this point.
my problem is the rest of the SD card is not formatted.
so like a retard i stick the SD card into my windows 7 laptop and format it so i can put the rom on to flash. when i do this i loose the 512mb ext partition it made on the SD card.
what am i doing wrong?
is there a better way to format the remaining space of the SD card without loosing the 512mb ext partition? so i can put the rom on the SD to flash the rom.

Format SD card to fat32 then partition your card in cwm. That's all you have to do

afterwards
the how to do i get the rom to the SD card? because if i stick the sd card back into windows laptop it wants to format the card again and wrecks the SD partition.
is there another way to push a rom from laptop to the phone by USB?

After you format the SD Card in Recovery, choose mounts and storage. Then choose USB Mount. After that load the backup of the SD Card back onto the card. If you don't have the Rom in your backup, load it then.

oh okay sorry i didn't understand you clearly but i'd do what prboy said

easy
much easier. i have been doing it the hard way all this time.
thanks both of you for the help.

So then you got it sorted out?

I don't think Windows can recognize/format an ext partition as it's a Linux file system. I had to set up my ext partition yesterday and Windows 7 only read the left over space when I mounted it through the phone and a card reader(14gb card read as 13gb). Should be good to format it when you plug it in.

I run Windows 7. I use SD Card Formatter, it Formats the entire card.

yes i managed to get it all sorted out. it is far easier to do it this way. the way i was doing took me for ever to get something done.
thanks guys for the help.

Glad it's all sorted

[Q] Where is internal storage?

Ok yes this is very noob. I am trying to flash for the first time with my GS3.
Droidstyles guide says to copy ROM (in my case cleanrom) to "internal storage" all over the place. When I look at the phone connected to my computer, i get an option for "Phone" and "Card".
I would assume that phone was internal and card is external SD card.
But in all the times I flashed on my Samsung Moment it was always a Zip from the external SD card.
I have searched and not coming up with it, sorry for the noob question. Just want to get it right...

Phone is internal and card is external. That being said you can flash from external as long as it is formatted to Fat32. The recoveries do not support extFat on external card and do not see it. Once Fat32 can flash as you always have.

Thanks! One more successful root for a Noob! Running cleanrom:victory:

Prdog is correct and thats the reason why i say to use internal sd in my guide...not everybody has a external sd and/or has it formatted to fat32.
