I'm having similar problems as others. I used ROM manager, which is using the latest CloworkMod recovery. I can tell that apps go to my SD car, and I can see the partition in my Disk Manager in Windows. However, I can't assign a drive letter to it there, so I can't browse on my computer. I don't see system\sd or sd-ext anywhere when browsing with Root Explorer. Using terminal emulator, I get the same '/system/sd: no such file or directory' message. And I don't see SD Card Secondary (or anything besides my SD card and internal phone storage) in my Settings>SD card & phone storage.
How can I browse the partition on my phone? Where are these APKs going?
I would prefer to stick with ROM Manager to do it. Something about AmonRA instructions didn't seem right to me. I could potentially use gParted as someone else suggested. However, that leads me to other questions, such as whether to put the new partition at the beginning of the drive (unlike ROM Manager, which put it at the end--and maybe that's why it isn't working). I could do it with Disk Manager on my computer too if I knew the answer to that question.
On a Droid.
Any help would be appreciated. Help focused on using ROM Manager would be preferred. Would flashing SPRecovery be better? I will likely try this next.
Thanks for the reply. ROM Manager wouldn't perform the Partition SD Card function with SPRecovery anyway, so that's out.
Shouldn't Root Explorer be able to view the partition? I can see the contents of the system folder, and no sd sub-directory.
Also, it doesn't show in the SD card & phone storage as a SD Card Secondary or anything. Is yours showing that?
i had a big problem with velo 3 with my stock sd. i upgraded from a class 4 4gb a class 10 8gb for 30$ and formatted it like in this post and and stopped crashing on me. my gf had a class 2 on he froyo droid. after the upgrade.... omg it was like greased lightning lolzGreetings all – longtime lurker. I am currently running velocity v0.3 with apps2sd on the stock sd card. Understandably, it has been buggy (i.e. FC’s and kernel panicks) as many in the forums where quick to forewarn about using the stock sd card. As I understood it the Ally came with a class 4 card, however after some research my card is actually a class 2. My device is about 5 weeks old. I am curious if others’ cards are class 4 or class 2? The reference I am using is:
SDHC (High-Capacity) - SD Association
I don’t have a complaint about the ROM’s performance (I was more than adequately forewarned about the stock sd card), just curious if they have downgraded the card that is currently shipped with the Ally?
Thanks to everyone’s hard work I thoroughly enjoy tinkering with my phone and the people who have put the work into this device make it easy!
I *believe* Clockwork does this but drellisdee's does not.
I'm not 100% sure but i believe that drellisdee's recovery has the backup nandroid+ext option. I've personally never used it if it's there. I will take a look ina couple of hours and see (its 4am)
Need Help-
So I have velocity 0.3 with Clockwork/ Rom manager. I had partitioned my card but when I looked for files under System/sd there was nothing there. I tried to partition again and my sd was wiped. All my apps were gone including market. My laptop power supply crapped on me and I am unable to backup my sd card. I ordered a new PS for the laptop, but may not be here for a few days.
So my question is- Is there anyway to download the Market and just start from scratch?
My SD is backed up on the laptop, but like I said, cannot pwr on laptop till i get the PS cord. I guess i can wait a few days till I get it and hopefully get my apps back. In the meantime, im glad I still have a browser and phone.
Well I have reflashed velocity and before even setting up my gmail I put on the Turbo4 zip. I wanted to over clock. Well Now everything works GREAT!!! except my apps2sd does not seem to be working.
Before I had 74 MB Now I have the same apps and only 18MB
What gives. How do I correct this?
Can anyone help?
