About increasing internal memory

Hi guys,
I've again have some stupid questions. I'm sorry if it was answered before, I didn't find. I'm using CM9 build #8.
1. I saw so many ways to use sd card partition to increase internal memory space. Which one should I use?
2. How can I partition my sd card(I have 8GB class 10) using phone(looks like my computer doesn't read sd card with the adapter)? Can someone give me full instructions(something like "1. do this 2. do that and etc")? I want to do everything carefully .
3. I see that I must have kernel, which supports ext partition. Which kernel should I use? I think this one should be the best, it has overclocking support too.
4. How can I install custom kernel?
5. Oh, and a little of topic question, do you think this(the part about ram) will really work?
Thanks. Please answer them .

Easyest way to repartition your sd is with recovery, there is pretty no way, to get it wrong, just remember ext partition, should be no more than 2GB and swap is 0.
About how to move app-s, there are a lot of scripts, my personal choice is S2E, its in the play store, becouse you can leave app data, on the internal memory which helps for smoothnes.
This kernel is good, but it wont work with stock rom, so you should choose some else, and this else is jaggy's or next gen.
Kernel is easy to install, just mount /system and /data, from recovery "mounts and storage" menu, then just flash the kernel, nothing needs to be wiped, or something else.
About the last question I havn't tryed it, but mostly I don't think there is need of something like that, Android know's what to do with the ram, it's not windows.
Oh and there is normal your PC to not find your ext partition if you are running windows system.

I'm using cm9 build #8, will it work? By the way, can you give me a link to the file to download? Because there is only 7z files, which recovery doesn't read. And can I use phonec as usb storage after partitioning and using these scripts?
Thanks a lot .

CM9 already has a custom kernel which supports scripts.. So you dont need to flash a custom kernel.. And as far as the app2sd scripts go, itz a matter of personal choice.. Some people use S2E, because of its simplicity and ease of use, while others use complex ones like d2ext, int2ext, ungaze, etc.. And then there are some who like to use more complex scripts like Mount2SD, which gives options like S2E, but can be used from the terminal.. For eg, you can choose to mount dalvik, cache, app, data to the ext partition..
So, in short, to each his own..
Hope this helped.. :good:

CM stores dalvik cache for all system apps in /cache/dalvik-cache instead of /data/dalvik-cache.

if you want to move dalvik cache for more internal space then i dont recommend you on doing that..it slows the phone doen (unless you have class 6/10 memory card)..i suggest you use int2xt+ ...for me its the best out there!!

I'll pm you!

or i will just put it here only..
so basically what it does is that it mounts /sd-ext to /data and leaves application data in internal storage for speed..
im assuming you already know about ext partition and you have partitioned your sd card!! (if you haven't then tell me)
if you want to implement int2ext+ in a rom then download the script from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716124
extract it..now download the zip of rom you want to use and make a copy of it somwhere else in your hard disk and open it through winrar..remember do not extract it..navigate to /system/etc/int.d in winrar only and delete all everything in the folder and drag and drop the file you extracted from int2xt+ zip..it will do some working and when its finished just close it...flash this modified zip..and you will see internal memory increased in storage (150mb+the size of ext partition u have made)
EDIT:
It may happen that your rom doesn't boot ..so you make another copy of the original rom and repeat the whole procedure except that dont delete anything in init.d folder..
for example i deleted all files from init.d in cm9.1 build#9 (i dont know what will happen if i dont) and it works..i remember that i deleted all files in evervolv but it didnt boot so i copied without deleting and it booted perfectly!!

i m switch to cm9 build8 rom from jaggy,,,so need sum info.
>use tethering pc to mobile...so i can use my pc internet in my mobile???where is this option??
>i read sumwhere that titanium bckup must be avoided ...so wt i use now for my bckp and restore???

tnx a lot from vshl2995 ! your method works perfectly :laugh: i'm very happy speed and performance is really good :good::good:
just 1 Q , can you tell me if i want use another sd card ,for example 16GB sd card (i'm using 8GB sd card now) how can i do that ???

Oh switching sd cards can be pain in the ass.. Anyway make a partition on ur new sd card (same partition u made on ur old card) make a nandroid backup with your old sd card inserted in mobile.. This makes backup of your sd-ext partition (of course ).. Now copy the whole folder (clockworkmod folder if u are using Cwm and TWRP folder if u are using touch recovery) to your new sd card using your pc or lappy.. Be sure that your phone is switched off or in recovery mode while you are switching cards.. Now when you have copied the backup(s) to your new sd card, insert it in your phone and restore sd-ext part only.. If that doesn't work then full wipe your phone and do a full restore!! Rest of the things in your memory card you will have to copy manually through pc or you can dump your data in cloud and download when new sd card inserted..!

2.any backup u make from gingerbread roms will be useless.. FCs will occur due to compatibility problems.. You will have to install all apps again
3.for contact syncing fb apps itself supports it.. But I use fb contact sync app for it.. It's awesome if you want their pics to be shown in conyacts.. If you want to sync birthdays you can add your fb calender to Google calendar (if you don’t know how to do dat tell me) your Google calendar is automatically synced with ics stock calendar.
4. Now that's atrange.. Never happened with me...

[Q] I finally rooted my HTC explorer, what now?

what made me root my explorer was the fact of the low internal memory and i after i found out i could use a partition on my sd card to use as internal memory i started to search for more info.
But its too confusing what ROM do i use if i need one how to setup the partitions etc.
what do they mean to wipe everything before inserting a new rom do they mean the phone the sd card.
I could use some help lol
thx in advance
brigas

Partition your sd card and create ext 2/3/4 partition using mini partition tool in computer.
Wiping everything means to format everything thing like cache partition, dalvik cache, system, boot, data partition SD ext ..... In recovery.
Don't format SD card.
Here you can select ROMs, scripts, kernels and tutorials for much more.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1754876
Hit "THANKS". If this helped.

yeah i am currently checking that thread i used one of the links to root my phone. but now i kinda nervous on doing the next steps. i already did a backup of my sd card and my rom i think with the ClockworkMod recovery, So correct me if im wrong the next steps are:
Delete data from sd card and partition it into 4 partitions. with that partition mini tool
do a factory reset on the phone( i suppose is how u wipe everything)
and then use recovery to put the new Rom of my choosing.
is this right?

Follow this for creating ext partition.
Create only Only one ext partition.
http://www.noypigeeks.com/android/tutorial-a-guide-to-link2sd/
For flashing ROM, follow the instructions given on the thread of the ROM.
Basic method is
Reboot into recovery.
Format/wipe data
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache in advance(menu)
Format SD ext, system, boot, in mounts and storage.
Now select install zip from SD card/chose zip from SD card/navigate to your ROM's directory/select it and yes to confirm.
Wait. After it says install from SD card completed. Reboot the phone.
You are done.
First boot of every ROM may take a little long. Wait and don't panic.
Some ROMs needs mounting ext, data,cache etc. Check the thread for that. I hope it'll help to get started.

I Am using flyROM v3 here. But I suggest not to go with it as it lags and have random reboots.
I suggest use jaggy ROM by jaggy/danceoff.
If you've rooted your phone using jaggy's tutorial, you are already on "yannou's recovery". This recovery is perfect. No issues At all but you can change it to TWRP for touch support and some more features. But I suggest be on yannou's recovery.(because some are having problems with TWRP flashing sense 4 ROMs )
Hit "THANKS". If this helped.

You'll get some sense about working in recovery.

The method for flashing is almost the same for every ROM.

cool guys i did it. thx for all the help, i sucessfully Put jaggy ROM working. Now that i understand the process involved should i try and a better rom v4? what apps are cool for rooted phones?

Now after getting some sense about flashing. You can try other ROMs as well. Just wipe everything and flash.
Use titanium backup, root explorer, must have apps for rooted one.
Hit "THANKS". It encourages me.

Try
Cm 9,1 build11 man
or
cm9 Xperia fusion (Looks great)
This is best for u start with lag less Rome

Yes Sir, will read it for sure
Thanks , your answer solved my problem
Now i plan to install the JaggyRom 4.0.3 on my HTC Explorer. Do you think its a good idea ?
I only have a 2GB SD Card , is there any requirement that i have to convert at least 1GB to ext partition before installing the ROM.
Any other things which you would suggest i take care of before proceeding ?
Thanks a lot

Give link to rom which you wan't to install.
Especially Jaggy 4.0.3 was GB with sense 3.5 I THINK, so you don't need 1gb ext, even 512 will do. If it's ICS with sense 4 you need 1gb ext.
My advice: Don't worry if first time it stucks on white htc screen, if this happens, just try wiping everything again and flash again.
And another thing you can download this http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?lim1od8qrjdbblp you flash it before you flash the rom, it wipes everything by it self, I'm not sure how it works with sense 4, but for every athor rom it's fine.

Hi,
sorry not allowed to post the links yet.
androidforums[dot]com/explorer-all-things-root/656605-rom-sense-jaggyrom-4-0-3-12-10-12-a[dot]
please edit the link
I think i shall try this one now, and once i get the knack of it , i'll buy myself a bigger memory card and try ICS
Please let me know if i should go forward with it.
Thanks for the help .

Uff ya, forgot about links restriction, with this one you don't need more than 512mb of ext. Just don't forget to flash 'wi-fi fix' after install and follow the instructions.
With this one you also can use the 'superwipe.zip' that I've posted in the previous post, instead of wiping everything manually, whichever suits you best.
Also if you wan't you can check out cm9, it's ICS and its stable, for it you don't need 1gb ext partition. Well that's it, have fun

i'll try the JaggyRom and tell you how it goes.

If you want to keep your Rom pure stock then flash the one by immortal_yash with ext support. It's smoother then jaggyrom 4.0.3 for me or you can flash cm9.1 build 14 . It's your choice so try and use the one which is best for you...

1. Make ext3 partition
2. Do not overclock... you can /rather will cause permanent damage
3.you don't need to use internal memory as ram ~if you do, it may reduce life of SD card

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
What i observed was that the phone started restarting after i had run the following command (to enable ext4 to be used as part of internal memory):
Code:
su
m2sd rmount enable
so i again ran
Code:
su
m2sd rmount disable
after which it stopped restarting. Any pointers what could be the reason for this ? I have a 2GB card, not sure which class , but since it came with the phone i believe it should be class 2 or class 4

Type in terminal emulatur 'm2sd status'
It will show what is enabled, answers will come.
And did you used superwipe.zip, or manually wiped everything. And normally it's better ext partition to be ext2 or ext3.

Well have you removed the sd card while the phone was on?.....If thats the case then you may have to reflash the rom....
Also download roms from xda itself because it is posted by the original devs themselves and you get better support.
Consider using jaggy 4.1 by me....

Okies , i'll try jaggy 4.1 ,
but are there any limitations of the memory card that i have to take care of ?
And will i loose the data again ?
Thanks.
Edit : Not sure if its releavant, but i can't connect to the memory card by using the "Disk Mode" from the mobile.

Can someone shed some light on the differences between JaggyRom and cm ??

1.CUSTOM OS
The best custom os for the HTC pico is mini cm9 there is no doubt about it. i will provide the link but first let me tell you all about it and screenshots will be provided too.
Its light weight and it is all on nand. Performance is its other name
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1958152
2.RECOMMENDED STUFF
ok so now we will talk about stuff to do after installing the os. First thing you want is internal memory.
before that make sure you have a ext partition on your sd card minimum 1 gb and i recommend you to use a class 10 sd card after that go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389501 this thread download the 40int2ext and follow instructions. Thats all for recomendations
Now let me tell you what apps am using on this rom

i hope i helped you and if like this rom and that script plz donate to their real owners... :good::good::good:

G(oogle)Apps
what gapps package did you use, because a package i found on the internet did not work.
I really wanna breathe new life in this phone

Thanks for this awesome thread.
One thing I never understood in those scripts, should I format my sdcard first? In recovery? In a pc (using for example mini tool partiton wizard)?
What partition scheme do you recomend?
So far I have a 4Gb SD-Card but I may buy a 8Gb Class 10 one.

Partition

Just have one partition(sd-ext4) which will be your internal memory.
Just make sure you have formatted sd card and make partition.
Install the rom and flash the script on top of it (try int2ext).
It will increase if you follow the OP.

Tried before with ext3 and ext4 partition and in recovery it says installation aborted.
Do you think it is because of partition or recovery? philz touch recovery.

no you dont need to do anything beside make a backup of your files if you already dont have a sd ext just place the file and enjoy..... but if you dont have sd ext just get a sd card of class 6 or above boot into recovery go to advanced and partition sd card my recomended size is 2 gb... thats it... kill the thanks button if i helped

Thanks, working fine now.

Regardless of which ROM or recovery i'm on, my device reboots randomly after some times(even after a thorough clean flash). Tried almost all of the ROMs .....but nothing worked. Posted my problems in other appropriate threads too.....but didn't get any reply. Finally tried mini Cm9.......but still it has random reboots.........any help is appreciated :good::good::good:

ok random reboots i once had them too there are two reasons for this problem and there are two solutions so dont worry
1. problem with batery:
pull out the back case and clean the battery terminals with alcohol and do the same with terminals on phone. now without putting the battery in press the power button for 10sec after that put the battery back in and voila nomore reboots.
if not then continue
2. problem with kernal:
it can also be caused by a faulty kernal so i will recomend that you flash a custom kernal. and to be frank try one of arsalan kirmani kernals those are stable
hope i helped :good::good::good:

I've tried different kernels in the past...but none helped....can you suggest one specifically ?? I only have a 4 gb memory card....so creating 3 partitions is not a good idea. I mostly rely on ICS ROMs. So any suggestions ?

Try without memory card. In the past I had one Nokia with problems like you describe and it was the memory card.
I had 4gb Class 4 with Fat32 and EXT partition without problems. Now I just upgraded to 32Gb Class10 for 9eur because I mainly use my explorer as mp3 player.
Using this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1876466 (MIUI cm9 based) with int2ext like this thread suggests and it is ok

MIUI rom is good, it don't have any problem of random reboots.. it is hardware problem... or try 2.3.5 android roms once.. before that format sd card and make perfect partition then change to default recovery and wipe everything which are necessary then flash a rom.. it may or may not works but give a try..
