Stock ROM + A2SD - HTC ChaCha

I am struggling to get Stock ROM and A2SD working.
I fully wiped the phone and installed the latest RUU and all the updates.
I then installed CWM 5028, superuser and then Dark Tremors A2SD.
I then partitioned the SD Card using CWM, but everytime when I load up the phone it doesn't recognise sd-ext.
I tried a2sd check but it says sd-ext isn't mounted so I can't do a2sd reinstall.
I have partitioned the card so many times in CWM, trying with no swap, with swap, 512Mb sd-ext, 1024Mb sd-ext, formating sd-ext after partitioning, tried a different sd card...
Nothing seems to work...
I even tried putting the SD card in my PC and using GParted to change the sd-ext partition to ext2 from CWM ext4, but that didn't help...
I've had this working before so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Does it need a specific version of hboot?

Hmm, I'm using Link2SD with an ext4 partition on CM9. Haven't tried DarkTremor on this one, but afaik I used it on SuperOSR, with the same partition.
It might be something with the stock kernel, but I'm not sure. There was a thread around here regarding Dark Tremor's; you should check that one as well.

Yeah I did think it might be the kernel from what I've been reading. But I first did this setup before there was any custom ROMs available when the phone first came out after s-off with xtc clip, so that worked with the stock rom then.
What I remember from before is when you open up CWM and go to mounts and storage, if it is working correctly then it should be mounted in there without you having to manually asking it to mount it.
Mine is never mounted in there, but mounting it manually seems to work...
I can read the partition in windows using ext explorer
I did read some install notes that says you should mount sd-ext in CWM before installing A2SD in CWM. I might try that and see if it makes a difference, but I'm pretty sure the install script does all that...
Maybe I should try Link2SD? I did look for A2SD+ but I couldn't find a download link for that.

[Q] Create sd-ext parttition.

Hi,
Do anyone knows if there is a real advantage in creating a partition in the phone sd card, [sd-ext]?
I read that it solves this error: E:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
(File Exists).
But, does the phone has a real gain when you format and create a new sd-ext partition?
Thanks,
If you have a ROM that has data2ext or app2ext then you'll notice a speed increase as well as a drop in usage on your phone's internal memory. I have a MT3GS and with data2ext I went from an 1100 in quadrant to a 1600

Thanks for the quick reply,
When you say, data2ext or app2ext, are you saying app's that can be installed in the ex-sd card?
Can I do that in cwm or there is a better way?
Cheers,
Data2ext and app2ext are ROM add-ons that enable you to either move the entire data partition to your sd-ext or just all of your installed apps. If you use data2ext your apps are automatically moved since they're stored in the data partition. You would flash them the same way you flash a ROM if the mods are available for your phone. Just search the forum for your phone if you want to know if you have those options.
Thanks mate,
I installed move2sd enabler.
So I can to move all the apps to the sd-ext partition I created?
I'm going to search for that.
I honestly haven't used move2sd so I'm not sure how that works. It should be a separate script like I mentioned before.
I created a new partition in clockworkmod 512mg 32mg swap.
The phone restarts, all seems ok, but when I restart again in CWM and select format sd-ext partition, it says that I don't have one.
I'm trying to find a way to fix this issue but until now nothing...
Check if you have a blocksize of 4096 (there's a command, don't know it offhand) and make sure it's actually an ext partition, it might be a different type or may be the wrong type of ext, such as ext2 when it needs ext3 or vice versa.
Already did the check,
su
sf
And there's no new partition created.
CWM erased all the data inside my card but did not create a new partition.
Do you thing it's because I have lagfix on with ext4 part type?
Honestly I have no idea. I used the parted script/command from adb to do my partitioning. Maybe try that or try converting to ext2?
Thanks,
I'm going to try and take a look in to that.
I see a lot of posts that say to use RA-Recovery with sdk adb but does it works with an SGS?
I don't know honestly, you'll need to look in the SGS forum and see if a Ra recovery is posted there. Parted works with adb and can be added to any ROM regardless of recovery menu.
From what I saw Ra-recovery is not for sgs's.
I still didn't saw any posts that explains how to do a sd-ext new partition for a Samsung Galaxy S, only for HTC's and other phones.
If you happen to find anything that explains how to do this for a SGS be a friend and tell me ok?
Thanks
A friend of mine has an SGS so I'll ask him and see what he's done with his. I know he rooted and flashed CM to it but i'm not sure if he did anything else like data2ext or anything like that.
Thanks mate,
I'll be waiting for your reply...

[Q]Darktremor A2SD not working on HTC ChaCha!

Hi there,
I'm trying to use A2SD, since the HTC ChaCha has a ridiculously small amount of internal storage... After following the instructions thoroughly (Partitioned with MiniTool Partition Wizard, 1 partition Fat32, 1 partition EXT2 of 1024MB and then i flashed the A2SD zip through the CWM Recovery)
I installed Quick System Info Pro to check whether it's working. But the A2SD shows "no information available". My Application Manager tells me I only have 86MB left (I haven't installed much, yet, because I want A2SD to work first)
So after searching the internet for I few hours, I couldn't find anything like my problem. I tried the a2sd diskspace command in terminal, which gave me the errors "Darktremor Apps2SD may not have ran during boot. Cannot read a2sd.mountpoint" and "SD Card not mounted".
I can access my SD card with no problems at all. What's going on?
Can somebody help me? T.I.A.!
As far as I know the SD partitions only work if you create them with CWM. I'm pretty sure there was someone else posting a similar problem with a partition created using linux.
Try partitioning with CWM and check if that works.
I've tried partitioning via CWM before, but A2SD didn't work. Therefore I tried using MiniTool...
Well, did the whole thing over. Partitioned via CWM. Flashed A2SD zip again.
QSI: "A2SD-storage: No info available"
I ran a2sd diskspace in terminal again. This time I get the errors "No a2sd.swap environment variable found" and "Darktremor Apps2SD may not have ran during boot. Cannot read a2sd.mountpoint"
If I try a2sd reinstall i get the "DarkTremor Apps2SD may not have ran..." and "No SD mounted"
Darktremor A2SD working on HTC ChaCha but only for ext2
I dnt knw reason but i tried ext3 it dsnt work..(Partitioned with MiniTool Partition Wizard)..but when i tried ext2 it worked again Partitioned with MiniTool Partition Wizard...
but in command a2sd partlist it shows that my rom support ext2 and ext3 but dsnt support ext4.
But actually it is not supporting ext3 as well..
Doesn't CWM make a partition as EXT2 by default?
NO

No only make partition as EXT3 by default.
i'm using latest version of CWM 5.0.2.8..
Anyway.
First I partitioned with MiniTool 1 Fat32 and 1 Ext2. Didn't work.
The second time with CWM partition Ext3 it still won't work.
Anyone?
if ext2 is found during installation it will work without do anything
to check if it works type a2sd check
if ext2 is created after install type a2sd check then a2sd reinstall
(execute using adb shell ex. adb shell a2sd check)
Nope, didn't work. Maybe it's because i was using the stock rom, and the rom might refuse.
I installed CM7 now, but it's not really satisfying... I JUST WANT MY CHACHA WITH MORE THAN 150MB SPACE.
Sent from my HTC ChaCha A810e using XDA App
try to create ext2 partition after installation. because during installation CWM by default format SD ext partition and convert ext2 partition to ext3 partition (you select option to format SD ext or not but it 'll format SD ext partition during ROM installation). you can check it in (Mini Tool Partition Wizard) it 'll show 2nd partition as ext3 after ROM installation .. So try to convert ext3 to ext2(Mini Tool Partition Wizard) after ROM installation then open terminal in your mobile or use adb shell enter command a2sd check then a2sd reinstall.. i had same problem but solved it by this method now its working perfectly..

I think stock ROM does not support ext2 partition. but custom ROM are available that based on stock ROM and support a2sd and ext2 or ext3 partitions.
Can anybody confirms that Does stock rom support EXT2 partition.?
That's a negative. Stock ROM does not have support for extended partitions at all.
Latest SuperOSR released has an updated kernel which includes ext partitions support.
I'm using a modified stock ROM (removed a few useless APKs). On one ChaCha I have Link2SD working with an EXT3 partition, but with another it refuses to work.
The software version I'm using is 1.57 (the HTCdev one). Does this means that this version supports EXT2/3?
Valid and working properly on latest SuperOSR build. Screenshot attached.

its not about ROM but kernel and official htc kernel only support ext2. no supprt for ext3 and ext4
To enable a2sd, after flashing the ROM go to market & download terminal emulator.
Follow instruction below:
Key in:
su
a2sd check
a2sd reinstall
Phone will reboot once.
su
a2sd check
a2sd zipalign
a2sd cachesd
Phone will reboot again & woot! app2sd+ enabled
If you facing problem for a2sd not detect the ext partition was ext4 but not ext2/ext3, after flashing ROM please re-partition your ext again. This should fix the issue. <<< hope this solve your issue.

Yes! I'd like to know! Because the stupid unstable CM7 is driving me crazy! I don't know what irritates me more, the lack of storage or the lack of a proper working phone...
How is CM unstable? What do you mean by that? Do you have any problems with it? FC's?

* Camera doensn't work, I know about the issue of the front camera, not working, but rear one doesn't work either.... (And no other camera app will...)

2) There are apps for Wi-Fi tethering.
3) Facebook App - Not using it, unable to find out if the ROM is the issue or other factors.
4) Same as 1) - Have you tried a factory data reset?! That deletes your gmail account.

Well, there you have my point. I don't want to factory reset it every time it doesn't work well... And there is a status bar widget for WiFi tethering, but I can't configure it...
Oh! And I remebered another weird thing. When my phone turns off due low battery, and I charge it. I can't turn the phone on. The LED turn on, orange. And if I disconnect the charger, the LED stays on, and the phone doesn't do anything. I have to remove the battery to be able to turn on my phone...
Edit:
Sorry for being a bit harsh about CM7 not working well and all. Of course I want to put some effort in it to make it work right. It's just... Well I want a super-duper-brilliant working phone! I'm just one lucky cookie to be a trouble shooter, when it comes to being the one GETTING the troubles! I hope you can do something with those issues, let me know if you need more info or logs or whatever!

[Q] SD-EXT on SGS4G with CM9?

I'm currently running bhundven's herring CM9 with no kernel modifications and CWM 6. I find that the internal storage for this phone is very low and only holds a small amount of applications, especially since many apps seem to not want to install at all (about 3/4 of the time I try to install things, I get either "Package invalid" or "Insufficient space available", which is extremely annoying and might be a separate problem).
Is there any way that I can get sd-ext to work on this phone with this setup? I'd rather not switch kernels (I'd love to get TWRP recovery but the flashable doesn't work for me and I don't want to switch kernels).

I haven't used it but this app should do the trick.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.codlab.int2ext
Let me know if it works.
I prefer Mounts2SD, which lets you completely configure things. I was running PACman with cache and dalvik offloaded which worked quite well. And free is a good price.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spazedog.mounts2sd
That seems like it just switches the internal and external storage, not making an ext partition on the SD card. But can things like this really be done through an app? I thought these things had to be done through init.d or build.prop scripts.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
The app creates an init file. Or so it appears. Like I said I don't use it. It seems that raze does and I'd defer to him here. Either his app or the one I linked should work fine.
Thanks (given) to both of you. And any ideas on what else might be causing the invalid packages when downloading from the play store? It happens even though I have much more free app space than I would need (eg. I had 119 MB of free space and a 30 MB app download failed).
EDIT: Just tried using Mounts2SD, but it couldn't find the sd-ext partition. Do I need to create that manually, and how?

Another way is to create ext4 partition (about 1G is usually enough) on you SD card with free MiniTool Partition Wizard and then use Link2SD to link apps/dalvik to this partition. I've been using it like this for a long time and it works fine. There are plenty of guides on the Web how to do that.
I used CWM or TWRP to create the sd-ext partition. You need to create that first somehow... if MiniTool Partition Wizard will do it without wiping the sdcard, that's better than recovery though.
My method was boot to recovery, mount sdcard, copy everything to computer HD, unmount sdcard, partition sdcard with 2 GB sd-ext (because I wanted lots of space, but I'd probably cut it down to 1 GB next time), mount sdcard, copy everything back from computer HD, unmount sdcard, reboot to system. Then launch Mounts2SD, pick what format you want the sd-ext in (FAT or ext2 are the fastest, but you can take ext3 or ext4 if you're not going to just disable the safety features) and what stuff you want moved over.
Edit: Just found this link, which I haven't used but which explains how to do the sd-ext with MiniTool... apparently MiniTool DOES still wipe the partitions though, so you may as well just use CWM/TWRP and make your life easier.

MiniTool will wipe the sd card to create the new partition as well. I wish there was a way to do it without wiping the card but there is not. So back that stuff up first.

Yes, but our herring kernel does not support EXT4 partition, I tried it myself
and it didn't work. I had to create EXT3 which is supported by almost all kernels.
Eh, my results varied. Worked fine for me with ext4. And worked fine for my wife as well.

The OP says he's running CM9. That's what I'm running but I use Proton kernel as CM9 kernel has a video bug, and ext4 partition works just fine for me. Strange if Bryan really removed ext4 support, it's just a line in the config file.
Successfully made the partitions last night but my phone won't mount the SD card anymore. Was trying ext3, I'll try ext2 and ext4.
EDIT: Fixed the problem, changed my partition to ext2 and set both partitions to "Primary" (not sure which one did the trick).

Make sure that you make the first partition Primary/FAT32. This will be your normal SD card. Just take about 1GB of space from it at the end. Then make second partition Primary/ext4 with size to the end of the card. You can try ext2/3 but I don't think it is really necessary.
MiniTool will NOT wipe your partition if you do it right.
dsexton had a guide posted on how to do it.
Is it worth making a swap partition? If I remember correctly it significantly degrades the life of the SD card (and microSD's are delicate as it is), and I don't know if it would significantly increase performance.

SD card 2nd partition is not getting mounted

Hi Friends
Yesterday I flashed my HTC Explorer with CM10.1 Beta 5 ([DEV][ROM][JDQ39E][4.2.2] CyanogenMod 10.1.2 | BETA#5 | 25/07/13 | WILD FOR THE NIGHT) . But with this build my phone is not mounting the second partition of size 2GB (total 16gb card) which I have created from recovery menu. I have tried with the Mini partition tool on windows for FAT32 too, but still its not mounting my either Link2SD, mount2SD or by the kernel (About Phone -> System partion).
Please help me as without mounting the 2nd partition I can not install any other app as very very less space is available after CM 10.1.
Thank you.
Use Int2sd+ for cm10.1
You can Google it & download
Note: you when flash ROM when mount system, data,sd-ext..and make ext3 partition

Its still not working. I wonder, if we can do so many things in CM, why can not we simply integrate the script in to the rom itself. I'm damn sure 100% of HTC explorer users must be searching for a way to increase the internal memory of the phone also now a days sd cards are damn cheap.

The card (16GB) is formatted as follow: 13 GB FAT32, 1 GB EXT3.
In the section Storage\External mount2sd says Not mounted.
the busybox is installed, the startup script too. Driver is set to EXT but most of fields are grayed out.

Did as you say but same results. Mount2sd doesn't see the SD-EXT.
FYI - I did not install the ClockworkMod,just run it from the Android recovery shell. Anyway it was able to successfully create partitions on the SD.
Don't know if that matters ...

I've made the ext4 using MiniTool Part under Windows but it looks like the Mount2SD does not support ext4 in my case. I can choose ext2, ext3, fat, auto but the ext4 is dimmed (could it be Android kernel related?).

[q] sd-ext partition is not mounting!

So the other day I decide to get a new SD Card and gift myself with a sd-ext partition so my FIT can have more apps than it already has. :laugh: After creating the partition succesfully I installed Link2SD and tried to install the script. This somehow didn't work.
Then I tried flashing the darktremour apps2sd script and using the apps2sdgui application, which again gave no fruitful results. A2SDGUI displays a message saying could not start for one of these reasons:
1. Device not rooted
2.A2SD Script could not be found.
3.No EXT partition found.
Now I know that the script did get installed successfully. My device is obviously rooted. So finally it boils down to 'No EXT partition found'. I tried mounting the sd-ext partition from the recovery and booting the device, to no effect. :crying:
I would appreciate it if anyone can help me with the issue. I really need that ext partition!
PS: I'm using Official CM7 ROM without any additional scripts other than apps2sd script.
I remember when I bought a new sdcard(class 10), my FIT(with 2.3.6 gingerbread/based rom) didn't even recognized it. Then the shop guy formatted it from the phone itself & then my FIT detected it. Then I created the ext4 partition(512mb) using cwm recovery 5.0.2.7 & all is well since then.
So I can only advice u to first backup the sdcard contents & format it from ur phone; then use 5.0.2.7 cwm recovery to partition it & hopefully all will go well for u too.
Also maybe the A2SDGUI app is conflicting. & there are some roms in which ext4 partition don't work/mount(my experience) but it should work for official cm7. I have cm7 of 28-10-2012 & 01-03-2013(last build) but I faced serious call issues in the last build: other person keep listening the callertune while my phone didn't even ring. So I reverted back to cm7-20121028-NIGHTLY-s5670.zip:sly: & it worked like charm.

I remember when I bought a new sdcard(class 10), my FIT(with 2.3.6 gingerbread/based rom) didn't even recognized it. Then the shop guy formatted it from the phone itself & then my FIT detected it. Then I created the ext4 partition(512mb) using cwm recovery 5.0.2.7 & all is well since then.

I did partition the SD card from the CWM Recovery.. Now, I don't understand how the A2SDGUI app is conflicting. It is just an app to manage the partition rather than using commands in the terminal.
Anyway, I tried the unofficial versions of CM7 and now I have a working partition. I used Link2SD to install the scripts. Link2SD installs the ext4 scripts , even thought the partition is ext3. Well, I can't complain as long as everything is working
Thanks for the reply though. :good: :highfive:
