Hi,
I have rooted my desire using a walkthrough (on another site,sorry) which seemed to work but I am not sure that it is seeing the partitioned SD card.
I used the unrevoked version & installed leedroid.
but phone memory is showing only 28mb left????
IS it just a case of flashing the ROM, or will I have redo it all again!!
I did try running the Unrevoked again last night but it came up with an erroe saying that my firmware was to new??
Sorry for all the questions, but its all pretty new to me!
As Rasta says read the guides, i am guessing you havent created the ext partition on your sd card to gain any benifit for a an a2sd rom, just read read read and you will be good to go.
if you have created the ext and used anything other than Gparted its possible its not worked properly, just use the gparted guide in my sig and do it properly.
I used Gparted to partition my SD card with a 1.1Gb partition.
But when I put it back in the phone it wouldn't mount the card untill I formated it, but now it only shows 1.17GB total space & 1.16Gb available space????

youve created the partition in gparted in the wrong order.
i think that vid tutorial we use is a bit wrong these days and things have changed
make sure the 1st partition is fat32 primary partition
send partition is an ext4 primary partition.
click apply and let it complete the tasks
that should work

Thanks for your help.
I have done as above & all looks good.
But titanium backup says:
Sorry i could not acquire root privileges. this application wiil *not*work!please verify that your ROM is rooted and includes busybox, and try again????
Try uninstalling it a then install it again, titanium asks for root before it does anything, its possible you checked don't allow by mistake.
Worth a shot.
click on check for problems in titanium and let it install the latest busybox.

Your ROM almost certainly includes Busybox, but Ti likes to have its own copy...
Edit: just beaten to it

Sorry all, but I have tried all this and still no joy!!
By default these apps can't be moved to the sd, titanium can force them to the sd though,
Which rom are you running? Because you started this thread with regard to creating an ext partition on your sd, if you have this and are using a rom which supports a2sd you shouldn't NEED to move these apps to the sd,
I know this doesn't help with titanium, but it's just confusing me.

Oh right.
I'm using Leedroid.
I just thought that those apps would show up on the SD card.
Thats fine if they shouldn't be moved then.
Not really worried about Titanium, I'll try another one.
Just wanted to make sure I didnt have to root the phone again, so I can start setting up my phone again.
It does seem strange how it isn't working though, I would try downloading another root app just to check that works.
A2sd is the ext you created so essentially your apps are on the sd, the ext is in a way tricking the phone into believing it has X amount of internal memory,
I'd recommend you also get quick system info from the market to test your a2sd is working.

Thanks, I have quick system info, how do I use it to check that a2sd is working?
