SD Card after rooting - HTC Pico (Explorer)

Hello, i recently covered one problem after rooting and installing custom rom. I installey FlyROM V3, but after some time i formated my memory card and phone stucked at htc logo. so i had to reinstall the rom. So thet means i cannot use other memory card in my explorer?

Did you create an sd-ext partition?

The Sense 4.0 is too big to fit into our Pico's internal memory, so, the apps are installed in the sd-ext partition. Did you create sd-ext partition? If yes, then, the apps are installed in the sd-ext partition.
Now, if you have formatted the SD card, the problem is that the data of the apps in the Android folder and .android_secure folder are erased, due to which you are struck at the htc logo. If you have removed the sd-ext, the phone would be struck at htc logo. So, in both cases, its likely that you will be struck in the htc boot logo.
But this isn't the case for cm9 or cm10, because, there are no scripts which mount the data to sd-ext, so, you can partition the sd card, or sd-ext as long as you haven't mounted /data to /sd-ext using any scripts.
And the answer to your question: You can use other memory card in your explorer... Just do a superwipe, and flash cm9 or cm10 or miui. They don't need an sd-ext. In all cases, loss of data is eminent.

[Q] Extend Internal Memory

Hello.
I am using HTC Desire (hero) rooted with latest cyanogen mod.
i`m running out of internal memory, i already have app2sd installed but and moved everything to sd.
i was wondering if there is any trick that lets say, i could make a small partition on my sd card, format that partition with EXT filesystem and that this partition will be added to my internal memory?
regards sonicsn4ke

No you didn't do anything wrong. There is no sd-ext to backup simply because you have no sd-ext, and that's okay. Lol
Ext is a filesystem type, and sd-ext would be an ext partition on your sd card. I think it is mostly useful on phones with very low internal memory, such as the Nexus One with less than 200MB available for installing apps. I never used it with my N1 but if i understand it correctly, the sd-ext frees up internal memory by allowing you to mount system partitions to your memory card.
I don't think we really would need one with this phone because we have much more internal memory available from the start.

Yup...sd-ext is just a partition created for Apps2SD basically. You only have one if you partition your SD card for Apps2SD and enable the moving of all apps to the SD card...it's kind of like a second (and unnecessary) data partition. All in all, you did nothing wrong and your phone will still make good backups
sweet, thanks guys

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.

Format SD-EXT in CWM or ADB??

Hello,
I was doing a fresh install of a ROM on my LG Revolution through CWM.
I wiped everything but i can't seem to format my sd-ext.
How do i do it?
Thanks!!
its under mounts and storage
HI
That's also a question for me.
your answer is short.
in the cwm menu, partition in ext4, i don't have choice, it is only for internal sd card

[Q] 4ext vs 2nd partition on SD card

Hello,
I have secondary partition on my SD card with ext4 filesystem on it.
With help of Link2SD i can use this partition for installed apps.
So the question is, when i create a backup with 4EXT (currently installed) or CWM does it include links and actual files from the SD card?
Got also a ext and ext1 seems to be a strange mounting problem..
It works but s2e cannot find the ext patition..

Hi,
4EXT nandroid backup takes a complete snapshot of your phone system,settings,data,and apps.
It does NOT make a backup of your sd card.
So, I would think that if you restored the backup,and you had not moved the apps in your ext4 partition,then they would match up again.
Why are you using an ext4 partition,anyway?
Isn't 1 GB of space on the phone enough for you?
software logic
well,
in linux filesystem, and in windows nowdays too, any storage can be mounted anywere, so if backup software differentiate external storage vs internal storage, it probably should follow symlinks and backup application from extended filesystem as well.
it could be a feature request
