Hi, I'm hearkenoath and I have to bear with a Galaxy Fame GT-6810L ;P Not complaining so much recently though.
I partitioned mi 32 GB SD class 4 Card Adata (if the brand helps) using Mini Tool Partition Wizard Home Edition like sayhellotwoheaven posted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2126363 I followed his steps and numbers. Even though I knoe that partitions should be only 20% of the total space.
And I know, I know: maybe our kernel doesn't support EXT4. I'm using Corsifame ROM from this forum but the perfomance was pushing me to smash my device against the wall. So I was interested in swapping virtual memory AND I KNOW, VM has a reduced number of R/W cycles and potentially can fry my SD/internal storage.
I used this helpful thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50143050&postcount=101&nocache=1&z=8882311745546758 and set it up to full ZRAM usage and Swap partition (since the other options don't worked for me)
The result was superb, so much better that before or with the 32 GB card not partitioned but the space ended in 9.99 GB only readable trough the phone and with the Kies installed.
My problem is this: the SD card cant mount, obviuosly I can't flash zips from CWM (only using /sdcard0) or backup and that stuff. I tried umount /storage/extSdCard/ and mount/ from CWM. Also can't cd to that directory (but I feel like never can't)
What can I do?
My root was with VRoot if helps. I appreciate all input.
P.S. I followed this tutorial and got Backtrack 5 running in our humble device. I always thought that my device would freeze

Just bought a new microSDHC card & I decided to format it in Windows. Then I decided to see if Transcend had a formatting tool so I tried it and got better results, next I found the SD Association had their own tool SD Formatter...
Benchmarked with ATTO Disk Benchmark
Windows 7 formatted then Transcend Autoformat Tool

SD Formatter
awe hell. after that apparent fluke i can't reproduce the results. Well this is dumb. removed some crap from the original post.
Unlucky, So the conclusion being... It doesn't matter what you use to format your SD?

It's best to use the SD associations formatter if you need it formatted fat32 at 32kb cluster size, which is how SD cards are built to be formatted. Other apps probably can do just as good job, but you know the SD assoc app will do it perfectly. Using other apps or windows may format it similar, and speed will be the same, but since those formatters are made specifically for sd cards, tiny differences can cause problems with compatibilty.
To format anything, it's best to not use generic formatter and use app written specifically for media.
eh, not worth.
please disregard this thread in its entirety. this was a dumb thread I started because I thought I was on to something smart. It doesn't matter at all how you format your card. If anything, these graphs can show you how my Transcend SD card performs

Do you have stock HBOOT or CM7? If you have stock you should have selected the A2SD+ option when the ROM was flashing. If you are not sure then maybe start again, boot into recovery and do a full wipe, flash the ROM and make sure you select the correct option when prompted (A2SD+ for Stock HBOOT, A2SDX for CM7)
hi i chose the A2SD+ option upon installing, should i carry out the partion before installing rom or after?or does it make no difference
Partitioned SD card for A2SD+ correctly?
Hi comunity!
Well you'll see, I will try ro explain the best I can, because I still don't dominate the English language, so here I go.
I'm from Mexico city and I have an Xperia Arc S LT18a when I brought it, the device come with GB 2.3.4 so I read a lot and then I could flash without fear a "clean" firmware and then I could upgrade to ICS so, my device is locked bootloader, but it's rooted and with CWM I've played some time with the Fw 431 and proved mod roms for stock, in this moment i have the Fw 587 and the doubt I have after all the story nobody wanted to read is, that when I was in 431 and I checked the memory status with SetCPU the section with swap total and swap free always was in 0 no matter if I was at stock Fw or in a mod rom, and now I don't know how magically I have data using that status, and the point it's that I just have Fw stock 587, a few apps ported from Xperia S, MicroSD Adata 32GB class 10 partitioned with 29GB fat32 & 1.91GB Ext3 for using with Link2SD (1.87 after the formating process, and 1.74 it's what Link2SD has recognized or assigned after mounting the partition.)
Rooted with the downgrade kernel proces and flashed back the kernel, the same configuration when I was on 431 and never saw any movement on the swap memory. This could be a new benefit of the new characteristics from Fw 587? With this I think could be possible to use swapper for make a 256mb file swap for use it? Somebody had noticed this too or this is normal and i'm a total nooby asking stupid questions? Btw when I was preparing the device to kernel downgrade, flash tool detected that was busybox 1.84.5 already installed, and I was just about to begin to move the guts to my phone.

Hello everybody,
I just bought this tablet and I was looking for a way to root it.
Anybody knows if there's a known way? Would the root method for Xiron 7 work?
Antutu says "Have root access = yes" so I've tried to simply install super su but it won't work and Root cheker says that the device isn't rooted :/

ok, I did it
I used Uberizer with the choice c - 16/17/18 (in that order, I was just shooting blanks and I succeed XD)
Now I have an another big problem...
This tablet have a really good 12gb of internal storage but it is definitely useless...
I can't use it to install apps and nor I can't use SD to install app! No way to move apps into one of the two mount point.
The problem is that internal is "emulated"
I've already tried app as Folder Mount, Mount2SD and Root External 2 Internal but with no success.
Someone know a way to enable my tablet to install apps to NAND Flash (preferred) or at least onto SD Card?
or even how to redistribute the NAND to the Internal Storage (all of it)? Like I did with my Cubot One.
Thanks!!
Same problem here. impossible to install any app on sd card using this tablet. Please help.
Nevermind didnt see 2# post. sorry
Good morning.. maybe you can help me how to successfully back up my stock rom on TWRP 3.1.0HIMA, before I install custom rom. I keep on failing on 52% on backing up system image. I got a big space on my external more than 20gig.
Thank you in advance.

If this is the answer,so I need to use the first system image I backed up as read/write and RE-flash seperately to my data?
Is the SD card formatted to exfat? Fat32 doesn't support files that are bigger than 4gb and since some of the backup files are indeed bigger this will cause a failure of the backup process.

I could swear that when i did my backup my sdcard was fat32.. I know you're right but I don't remember reformatting or repartitioning..
Maybe I'm getting too old and losing my marbles.. Or a brain tumour..
