I am using energy 3.5 sense rom with an anthrax kernel. I just got my new 32gb sd card and have been looking into partitioning it. I tried once and couldnt seem to find the ext2 folder. I put my 8gb card back in. I have done some looking into it some and am wondering what is the best way to partition with clockworkmod? after i do get my sd card partitioned do i have to reflash the rom and kernel? I read it in a tutorial but was wondering if it was essential. Also, if i go to AmonRa 2.3 where can i find it? i can never seem to find where to download it.
Thanks guys im still trying to learn.
Here's the Amon-RA recovery which you can still flash CWM recoveries if you choose to http://www.mediafire.com/?6eo9jo7fdazp2 you may also want to read this thread on partitioning your SD card http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386911

Yep, Moreno is dead on the money. I partitioned mine with Amon-Ra and had zero problems. Of course, then I accidently wiped my SD Card while doing a flash and had to start over. Make sure you use Dark Tremors Apps2SD after installing your ROM to take full advantage of your partition (but you probably already knew that!).

is it true that after partitioning your sdcard that older nandroids you have from where the sdcard was not partitioned cant be used without causing some issues?
It shouldn't be a problem... I believe I have seen that question before and the dev kinda of covered that with this recovery, he actually did a fantastic job so to be honest you won't have any issues as far as that, it still should do the trick.
Ok thanks. Was also wondering if it's necessary to do a fresh download/install of all apps from the market?

Hello,
I've been searching for an answer but haven't found anything clear yet. I'm trying to partition my SD card so I can put my apps on it. I want the app data stored as well so when I switch ROMs I don't lose anything. An example would be Angry Birds I read that the partition SD card option in ROM manager doesn't work on the DINC and you can't partition it through CWM recovery. How can I do this other than using the Amon_RA recovery? I am having problems flashing that recovery on my DINC for some reason...

Thanks! Worked like a charm! My last question would be what do I need to do from here to get the apps on my sd-ext? Is there a guide for this?
I have seen lots of warnings saying not to do this with Rom manager, or CWM, so i wanted to ask, what is the right way to do this??? I am on Miui, and I need to do this so I can install apps to my SD card. I have a 8GB memory card, so I would like to leave as much as possible and safe for the apps2sd. If someone can please give me a link or walk me though this, I am sort of a noob.

Miui does support it. So CWM should not be used then?? Where can I find this recovery you are talking about?
Anyone else know a safe way to do this?? Is cwm safe.
I really need some help, I have searched all over.
I haven't partitioned my sd card yet. I just wanted to get some info on this first. I am currently running CM7 and I'm aware that you don't need to partition to run this rom. I was thinking about trying MikG v3.00 or Decks and wanted to know if there were any threads on partitioning the Evo or any tips you guys could give me? Any suggestions? Once you partition your sd card do you tend to leave the set up as is regardless of using different roms? Does partitioning erase everything on your memory card?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

After you partition you do (well I do) tend to leave things how they are. After you partition to do a nandroid you have to backup sdext now and when you wipe you have to wipe sdext to go to a new rom. Also partitioning will 100% erase it so have to backup to your pc

Thanks for the reply that thread was very helpful. Answered a lot of questions.
Just 1 question though. If I partition my card, then decide I want to change to the swap or ext again. Will that delete the contents of my sd card ?

Ok so i just partitioned my sd card using TWRP. Then I mounted my sd card and put the zip for MikG v3.0 on the root. I did a full wipe. Then proceeded to install the rom. But now it just says 'Unable to open zip file' It looks like its trying to load. I'm not sure what to do. Should I try another rom?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Oops right post lol, sent me to a different post in the thread and lost me now back to the answer
Signature verification is for flashing signed and unsigned zips no need to enable it unless you need to flash a HTC signed zip with it off you can flash any zip in recovery signed or not

Only if you want to use SWAP, think of swap as extra RAM, so if ur short on RAM swap might help, but swap is slower than RAM, and your need a Kernel with SWAP support.

I just got my og Evo 4g (on the 3d now) back on for my wife since she dropped hers and is in 2 pieces lol. I havent been on the 4g forum in a long long time and need some help from you guys.
I have found out the im on android 2.2 with baseband version 2.15.00.11.19
Was running Eternal Prophecy v6.1 and on 2.6.32.27 netarchy kernel. I know im pretty far behind and want to know how i would go about getting the phone up to date and run a rom that is pretty stable since its for my wife. She has been bashing me ever since ive found out about rooting and flashing roms, so i want to hook her up with a stable rom with all bloatware removed, and show her that "aftermarket" roms are way better than the one that came with the phone. Any recommendations would be helpful.
Oooohhhhh....1 thing, i dont have the SD card anymore and most likely will be putting her SD card in, would that be ok?
Yes that should be okay. Might need to partition the card via recovery. Roms I have been using cm7 for aosp and mikG for sense. They are both good. Kernels that are out for gingerbread are anthrax, lionfish, and a couple of others. If you want to go straight stock give tommytomatoes classic rom a go. He has tweaked that rom pretty good. Hope this helps.

If you are running the latest version of Clockwork mod recovery, you have the option to partition the SD card directly from the recovery. Hope that help man.

What do I do after I partition the SD card?
Partition your card 32/1024, once you do that your SD card should be complete. Partitioning your card will delete everything in your card so be cautious and backup your memory onto a computer

You need to partition the SD Card if the Rom is A2SD enabled, and you want to use it. Yes it should be done before you flash the Rom. You should also find out what type of partition. Does the the Rom call for an ext.3 , or ext4 partition. If you are going to partition your SD Card you need to make a backup on the PC first. Partitioning the SD Card will wipe the card clean.

also im gonna use a friends pc to back up my current files but can i restore them back into the sd card once im done with the partition/flashing and my phone is up and running?

Not all Roms will work. If the Rom is built so that a2sd is enabled automatically, it will not work correctly. Things will be missing. You can have FC issues. In some cases I've had them not even Boot. So it is better to have the SD Card partitioned before you Flash if the ROM calls for it.

all the partitioning gets done thru recovery.
so where within recovery is partition actually done?
Hey guys, noob here. I am going to be flashing my phone today too.
Death by soaps mod seems to be what I am looking for, but I just want to make sure I am doing everything right.
I have turned s-off with revolutionary and backed up everything with both clockworkmod and smelkusmod and saved everything on my computer.
I am not 100% sure how to continue with partitioning and flashing though. Do you have a recommended guide partitioning and flashing with your mod? I have found some general guides, but they are for other mods and I dont want to screw anything up.

Ok. Simple.
1. Move everything on your sd card to your comp.
2. Use smelkusmod as its the best.
3. Go to partition card or something to that extent.
4. Set your desired size, 1 or 2 gigs is good enough, depending on how many apps you have/use.
5. Set swap to 0
6. Wait for it to partition.
7. Upgrade ext from 2 to 3 to 4.
8. Put all your stuff back on the sd card.
Flashing
1. Use format all/superwipe option in wipe menu of smelkus to wipe.
2. Go to flash zip or something like that.
3. Select the file and confirm.
4. Wait for it to do its thing then reboot.
Done!

Nope no need to partition again. That's done. Also you dont need to wipe for mods unless the OP states it.
For Roms, however,(what you just flashed) always do a full wipe/ superwipe and if going between versions of sense and aosp, always wipe the sd ext.
For kernels always wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing.

As an extra precaution, I always wipe Cache / Dalvik. Before flashing a Mod.
