Partitioning Problem (Please help) - Galaxy 3 Android Development

Hi there first of all sorry for my wrong section and double post but in general forum nobody helped me.
My problem is:i partitionate my 4gb sd card via cwm recovery(512 ext-256swap).
Format cache partiotions.(cwm)
Format sd card.(cwm)
After that i create a fs.data2sd with mmcblk0p2 insde in sdcard/android/data/g3mod.
I install link2sd application but when i start it it tell me that my ext is not mounter.
In Cwm recovery when i press mount sd-ext it gave me an error(i think is:``the file exists already`` or something like this).
In settings/storage my phone tell me i have a 3gb card...so i think partition is done succefully..
So can someone explain what i need to do further.
Thanks alot for you help and i am glad to be member of Xda!
edit:now my sd card is stucked at 3gb how can i extend it back to 4gb?
mod Edit : thread CLOSED u cant do a dual post u need to be patient when posting
use the general or the Q&A(this is a stiky)

Just unmount your card from SdCard and Internal space menu and then format it.
or else you can also format it from CWM recovery.

This is to format ur sd card to get the 3.6.....gb space back...
unmount it and then format it, or else format it using CWM.

k i managed to have back 3.6 gb now how can i use data2sd?I think i need to repartitionate.
one more question:can i partition with MiniTool partition wizard(via windows) with usb ?(i don`t have card reader)

First of all Mini partition is basically used to convert partition...
I'll tell you my way by which I create partition.
1. Boot into Recovery->advanced->partition SD card.
2.ext->256, swap-> 128 or 64.
3. Wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache....reboot.
4. phone will take 10 to 15 min.
This trick work on kyrillos 7, if you are on any other ROM like sumee 4 then just cope the fs.convert file in fugumod folder on sd card.
I tested this on both roms....you can check the app2sd partition on titanium back up as well as in internal memory in settings.
That's it man....enjoy.

Turn on USB debugging and then mount...
I don't know about df command buddy but you can see your a2sd partition in titanium backup.

Did you wipe data? Also if it doesn't work, sear h around for a zerofill.tar to flash, then flash a rom over it.

i already found it an read good stuff of it thanks for the help
use your sd card for more space
zerofill tar sounds to me like:
writing lots of "0" to the internal sd?
-> equal to a format of /system?
-> system is gone, mobile doesnt boot
-> all data lost?
Checked the features of kyorarom and what do I see...
Hybrid Data2SD and SD card swap
Why dont you use that feature?
Ah... I see... you didnt create an ext4 partition?
Thsi partition is needed for the feature above!
how to:
Create an ext4 partition via CWM
using this feature will move all user apps to sd card
have a fast card on your side and make a backup of your sd card data
-> all data will be lost on sd card when you repartition your card!!!!!
I think u r facing 0.0kb internal memory bug... if so flash with data.rfs
If not, go to recovery, wipe dalvik cache... format sd ext.. mount data... and mount sd ext

i think i stay with kyrillos never had problems with it only when i installed kyrorarom i got the bug from 0.0kb internal memory bug
hmm when i put my sdcard in it and reboot my phone says 0.0kb internal memory when i reboot without sdcard i got 100mb free agian so i dont no what to do
put the sdcard in PC and check the card if its working
backup data
delete all partitions on sdcard
put card in mobile
boot into cwm
repartition the card
check the space
just a thought:
could it be, that the sdcard is only full?
or defective?

The sdcard works fine i can see all my stuff when i have it in my phone but i wil try that empty my sdcard and i will make backup from it to my pc i hope this works
oh... a second please...
I remember something right now...
In my very early days (ECLAIR flashing) I remember that someone had also space 0.0 MB
And afaik the solution was to flash the CSC file (?) or something like that again...
That was the reason in these days why I flashed all (!) firmware versions from
xxjg7 to xxjk1
well... in froyo days...
I know that this posting is not very helpful, but you might find something similar with these hints in the net...
Hope this helps forward
Flashing zero fill should solve to 0.0kb problem, it formats everything on your phone, then flash a rom over it. If doesn't work, backup your SD card and format your sd ext and your whole SD card.

[Q] any1 knw hw to fix dalvik-cache mv 2 sd in creedsv2

hey guys i am new i really want to know if some one can fix r there's way to fix problem i.e
in creeds rom v2 dalvik-cache move to sd dont work i m stuck on boot loop for hours n i need a solution as in v1.7.2 i had 125 apps now i cant even install 50 of them....plz help.
maybe there's no ext4 partition?
no coz in v1.7.2 i made partition and of 512mb and moved dalvik-cache to sd and 64mb swap but a2sd is working well in v2 jus the move to sd function is not working as described by mr.creedo himself in the thread...n m still using v1.7.2 with sd-ext...
i think its coz of either rom or the kernel coz v2 is based on cmptly new firmware but in v.1.7.2 it is giving no such problem.
try link2sd...
Dalvik cache to sd is not working for now.Even i tried to do so but it din't work and i had to reflash. May be creed will come up with a solution

ya that is ungaze script...already implemented in cm7.2 rc5.5 by asad007
I haven't tried partition tool...I partitioned via cwm...
and your secondary partition should be ext2/3, not fat32...

Het guys please becarefull about the partition thing..
Because its very risky and you better have backup of your sdcard ane save that backups at your PC or notebook..
Some of my friends has been loosing all of his data because of it.
When u first time partitioning sd card, it will remove all your sd card stuff ofcourse. Just put it on desktop and move back when partition is done.

Enter Recovery Mode by holding POWER + HOME;
With the Volume Down key (-) and High Volume (+) and navigate to the HOME key Select "advanced";
Select "partition SD Card"
In the next window you should choose the partition size.
If you have a 2GB card to advise you put 512mb 1024mb,
If you have a card with 4GB or 8GB advise putting 2048mb.
And finally select the size of the swap partition for extra memory.
If you have an urge to put 2gb card 128mb,
If you have a card with 4GB or 8GB advise putting 256mb.
enter the Market and install the program Links2SD
to open the program you should choose ext3 and press ok> then superuser permission> and after that restart your phone.
Now press the Options button to display the sub-menu of the program
Made this to take and check the settings, and automatically link-site check in'' automatically''.
Now press the Options button to display the sub-menu of the program.
Made this to take and check the settings, and automatically link-site check in'' automatically''.

Press OK to start, and all your applications ready to go to memory that was created ext3.
Now we will install and configure the Swapper. Lower application, install the application by the Market, after check the Active on Boot Swap on Swap File Position sure "EXT Partition SD Card" in "Swap File Size" set a value as the size of the partition created in ext, I suggest that is a partition of 1024 put 250 if a partition of 2048 put 512 of superuser permissions and restart the phone.

I wouldn't recommend swapper...
long story short, it'll start affecting performance...and do more bad than good...
swap partition is basically virtual ram...but the problem with this is, our phones ram is fast, while even the best of sd cards can't match that...
so you may get better performance initially, but soon you'll regret having a swap partition...

[Q] Help Me to Use Data2Ext in IcySnap v1.6 ROM (neko 95's ROM)

Hi....... :fingers-crossed:
​
I guess everyone here have known about the Great ROM called ICY SNAP (thanks to Neko for that such great ROM ). :good:
But i miss the tutorial how to use the Data2ext Feature on it ?
First of all.. Before using a data2ext we should have a partition on our SD-Card, isn'it ?
So that we can use that partition to use the Data2ext and move our app/data.​
My question is :
1. How to create a Partition on my SD-Card with the safest way.
2. And after we create it, what should we do next ?
3. I read from the Icy Snap Thread notice, we may activate the Data2ext via Terminal Emulator Command. And after i do the 2 step above, may i just activate it through it ?​
Thanks in Advance for your great Help and Answers. :victory: :angel: ​
Boot in recovery mode. Now select "Partition sd card", Next select Partition sd then set swap size= min 64MB(recommended by neko), Set ext-size= As you want and confirm thats it.
But backup your sd card before bpartitioning since it will be formatted during the process.

I used Link2SD on CM10.1.4 (Android 4.2.2) of Jenkins. I've not problems. Before install ROM need partition SD Card on FAT32 and ext4 partitions. Now can install ROM. After install ROM, install Link2SD. Open Link2SD and select ext4, wait to make script. When script make you'll get a notification that the script is done and to you need reboot phone. Reboot phone. After reboot phone, open Link2SD and in Settings check Auto link. Exit from Link2SD and it is it.
When you install applications, you can get notification that is memory full. After this notification, reboot phone and memory will be O.K.
I do all your same step, and usually after reboot i have about 70 MB free, but in this last day i have noticed that i have an icon that tell me that my internal memory is full.
My only difference from u is that i use ext3 part and not ext4, but i think it is the same.
DO u have any suggestion ?

Not problem with ext3.
Try open Link2SD and try made Create a link manually. Maybe for some applications need to be done manually.

Not to SD Card. You need try "Create link". If you can not, then it means that the link has automatically created.

Does CM 7/10 support Link2SD? And if yes, which types of partitions? I have an ext2 partition but it does not work on cm7-based JellyBread v5.

Need be ext3 or ext4. JellyBread I don't tried.
I don't partition with CWM. I do it with MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition. I installed it on PC and I connect phone with PC over USB.
I open MiniTool ... and made partition.
Select FAT32 Primary partition and ext4 Primary partition.

I don't understand you. I used OdexMe.apk and Link2SD. Since then I have internal memory and more than I need. I have no interference or slowing down the system. All works O.K.
Do u suggest me, to re-install all over again using your same application order?

Go in CWM. Now go on wipe data reset, wipe cashe partition and in Advanced, go on wipe dalvik cashe. Flash ROM. After flash ROM again go on wipe data reset, wipe cashe partition and in Advanced, go on wipe dalvik cashe. Reboot Phone. Wait to system up, and it is about 5 minutes.
On SD Card you need have ODEXME.apk. Download it from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2157251
Install Root Explorer. Open it and copy odexme.apk and paste it in system/app. Made Permissions for this .apk (rw,r,r). Reboot Phone. After Reboot Phone go in Applications and click on this Odexme.apk and follows instructions. Reboot Phone. After Reboot Phone open Root Explorer and go in system/app and check whether each application has its odex. If have, it is it.
Now install Link2SD. Open Link2SD and select ext4. Wait to make script. When made script, you will notification than script is made. Reboot Phone. After Reboot Phone, open Link2SD, go on Settings and check Auto link. Exit from Link2SD.
Before, you for Link2SD need partition SD Card on Primary FAT32 and primary ext4.

[Q] Does CWM recovery backup partitioned sd card?

Does the backup through CWM recovery backups only the internal memory contents or does it back both the partitions of sd card?
I am asking because yesterday when I was taking back up, one of the process message was something like couldnt find ext-sd and ext-sd did not backup.

Did you set up sd-ext? If you havent formated your sd card to 1.partition Fat and 2. partition ext2/3/4 there is no such partition
I have partitioned sd card such that I am able to use 1 gb as internal and link apps through link2sd app. I think I formatted sd card during this process. I hope this is what u were asking.

In that case the recovery should recognize the ext partition. Have you tried using another recovery?

Nope.
Is there any way to check in my backup files to see whether sd card partitions were backed up?

The backed up files are boot.img, cache.yaff2.img, data.yaffs2.img, nandroid.md5, recovery.img, system.yaff2.img
Looks like there is no sd card back up

If you use an old CWM (e.g. 5.0.x.x) and your ext partition is "ext4" the recovery can't handle it. What device are you using? I can check for another recovery version

ONLY possible with root access + custom recovery (basics and not very technical...)
Here is TWRP 2.4 recovery. Just copy the zip to your storage and flash it via recovery It will solve your issues (99%)

TWRP will overwrite CWM.
Titanium backup (pro) is awesome, but you will still need a working custom recovery
