It seems to me that every ROM has its pecularities (undocumented) for its required
external data storage (EXT2/EXT3 EXT4=completely magic)
so that for every rom you need a specifi SCARD FORMAT PROCEDURE where all data
is completely LOST
as the user does not know hos the SDcard should be formatted ????!!!!
All turns in big Guesswork right is this relialbe??? professional ????

I am currently on the Gingerbread.UCKF1 build and want to upgrade to ICS. However, after following the instructions from at least 3 different ROMs I cannot seem to get it on my phone. At about 25% it errors out. Also I am not seeing the option "Install .zip from sd card" Am I missing something somewhere?
yup. How exactly are u booting into cwm, and did u erase cache, dalvik cache, data, and system partitions before flashing rom?
I sure have. I have had to re-enter my wireless password so many times now that I have it memorized.
Been using the 3 button method but still not getting the Install zip from sd card option

i was expecting ICS on Desire S very much because of the possibility of the storage encryption but it seems not to be working on the leaked rom. everytime i want to enable it on this rom it ends up with "encryption unsuccsessful" massage. anyone managed to do it?

You need to format /data with a recovery which has this patch included:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/e5dfd9a3a46afe40df8e7ad7f2d49c978bcb6687
On our device, there isn't a dedicated place to store the encryption information so the last 16kb of /data is used. If this space isn't free, encryption will fail.
Be aware, when testing CM9 encryption using the old 2.6.35 kernel, encryption fails half-way through and you have to format /data to recover. Make sure you take a backup just in-case the leaked kernel has the same issue.
Isn't that decreasing performance?
If so, how much?

The same problem for me... I need to encrypt both sd external card and internal storage... I have not found any ICS ROM with working encryption. Could you please provide more details re above recovery solution? Thanks a lot!
Heyy Everyone,
I am running CM9 ROM on my HTC Chacha,is there any solution for low internal memory?Can i install apps directly to Extsd instead of Internal memory,please anyone help me..it's really Annoying
Wrong section. This is a question for General. And yes, there is. You can also find solutions in the CM9 thread (I wrote one of them).
Where is that tutorial and does it apply to HTC Chacha?

It's not a tutorial, but basically amounts to install Link2SD.
I myself use D2EXT from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716124
It works nicely. But don't delete dalvik cache with it installed as you will get bootloops. It's not hard to fix, though, but you will need a computer and adb installed. So just don't delete the dalvik cache and you will be fine.
To install it, you will need to partition your SD card and create an ext4 partition. You will lose everything on your SD, so make a backup first.
Use the guide on the link I posted . You will need a fast SD card.
And next time use the general forum.
Good luck.
http://www.link2sd.info/faq should answer your doubts. Its the bestest way out there.
I have downloaded a rom for lg p500 optimus one, in the description it says that it has data2ext feature, but i don't know how it works, and how it expand the space for my phone, since it has only 198mb of internal, all i want to know is that can the apps be fully moved to partition using data2ext(I mean everything moved), and bit still confused if you press move to sdcard is selected in "manage app" does it automatically moved it to partition?
DO I need link2sd to use the data2ext feature of the rom?

Hi all, I wish to know what will be the best way to recover the data on my HTC one m7 I before installing custom Rom missed out on taking backup and formatted the SD card partition too, is there any possible solution available to retrieve the data, I'm looking at photos as that is what I have the maximum and of priority and rest all is fine if it doesn't get recovered. Can any one suggest the best option available now?
