yeah, i did a nandroid backup so hopefully i can just restore the os or evileris 3.0 back to the way i had it then try to do the kernel update then be able to reboot then after that partition the sd card and be able to partition it properly so app2sd work's right. will post up later if i get it working or if i don't.

thx everyone so far

I think you should try a different ROM like [ROM] [7/24/2010 w/JulyPatch] xtrSENSE3.1 [apps2sd,jit,oc]- HTC Sense - xda-developers

To get Apps2SD working, just follow the steps in my first post.

sorry its real late for me, i need to go to sleep, but did i do sumthing wrong? white widow is workking great...i checked the box and then conect the phone to the computer and copied the backed up s.d. files and pasted it back onto the s.d card. i rebooted afterwards buttt... the only thing on the phone that was before flash is astro file manager, and using that i can see all my stuff is on the s.d. card but under my app tray there is nothing

So there is no apps in your app drawer?

maybe i'll try a different rom. this is what i did though so far.

1. flash evil eris 3.0 to my phone (EvilEris3.0 zip)
2. flash kernel update (ee3kernel-signed zip)
3. after doing kernel update; partitioned the sd card; then clicked select sd:ext2 to ext3
3. downloaded a2sd (dtapps2sd-2.7.5-pf4a-signed zip) moved it to sd card
4. flashed a2sd (dtapps2sd-2.7.5-pf4a-signed zip)
5. waited for the phone to turn on but it just stays black. it's black right now as i tried it again and it's been 20minutes and still doesn't start up.


maybe i have too new of a evileris3.0 file or maybe something is corrupt i have no clue???

I guess i'll try the rom you posted. i really like evil eris too

Yes. There are new ones that Ive never had before but all of the ones that I backed up are not there. This morning I got the bright idea to just re-download titanium backup from the app store...Now I am able to restore all my old apps
Man white widow is sick

 

[iAndroiid]

ugh, xtrsense sucks. i absolutely hate it. going back to evil eris 3.0 and just waiting until someone else has my problem or someone can figure out my problem. i wrote the steps above of what i did in my previous post if anyone can help me maybe i'm doing something wrong?

I remember reading on XDA that Froyo ROMs don't like partitioned SD cards, how? Partitioning doesn't work for Apps2SD under Froyo?

Yeah, I have read that it isn't necessary to format the SD card for 2.2 based ROMs. Apparently it does it automatically. I think the apps are strored on a FAT32 partition called "android_secure". But this I just gathered from reading, not from experience.

So can I use my partitioned SD card with a Froyo ROM or use another SD?

 

[AdrianC14]

Just bought a 16GB SD. Do I format it as fat32?
