Hi all,
I just spent ages trying to figure out how to partition my SD card on HTC wildfire and configure it to have CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1.
WARNING, THIS TUTORIAL IS ASSUMING YOU ALREADY HAVE A ROOTED PHONE, DO NOT FOLLOW THIS TUTORIAL IF YOUR PHONE IS NOT ROOTED & S-OFF. - I CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR PHONE GETS BRICKED, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
WARNING, ALL DATA WILL BE LOST FROM BOTH SD CARD AND PHONE MEMORY - Backup all pictures / music by copying them to a folder on your computer.
Your apps will automatically be backed up (Providing you have updated your Android Market to Google Play)
Step 1 - Download these necessary files onto your desktop and put the first one onto the root of your micro sd card:
- http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-buzz.zip
- http://download.cyanogenmod.com/torrents/update-cm-7.1.0.1-buzz-signed.zip.torrent
- http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
Step 2 - Open Recovery Mode
- Hold down the power button and select reboot (if available) and then select recovery.
- If this does not show up, follow these steps below:
1. Turn your phone off.
2. Hold down the volume down button and the power button until the Revolutionary screen pops up.
3. Tap volume down once, (highlight the word recovery) and tap the power button.
Step 3 – Update The ClockworkMod Recovery.
- At the moment, you will have green text, and a black background. (This is version 2.5.0.1)
- This is the base version that your phone will run on, and does not support SD-ext for the HTC wildfire.
- Move your trackpad down so that you have "install zip from sdcard" highlighted. Tap the trackpad to select it.
- Now highlight and select "choose zip from sdcard"
- A list of files in your SD card will be shown.
- MAKE SURE THERE IS NOTHING HERE THAT YOU WISH TO KEEP OR HAVEN'T MADE A BACKUP OF.
- Highlight and select "recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-buzz.zip", which you saved to the root of your SD card.
- Confirm the install, and select "Yes - install recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-buzz.zip"
- A few lines of code will be shown, then everything will turn blue and the background will change.
- You now temporarily have ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.0
Step 4 – Clear Everything
- Here is where you must have backed everything up.
- Select Mounts and storage.
- You will see the following (if some say unmounts instead of mount, make them say mount by selecting them):
- Mount /cache
- Mount /data
- Mount /system
- Mount /sd-ext
- Format /boot
- Format /cache
- Format /data
- Format /sdcard
- Format /system
- Format /sd-ext
- Mount USB storage
- format everything on the page, they should all work, but
- You will get an error on the sd-ext (this is meant to happen so don’t worry)
- Now go back (tap the power button) and select “wipe data/factory reset
- And finally select wipe cache partition
Step 5 – Partition the SD card
- Scroll down, and select “Advanced”
- Select “Partition SD Card
- Choose your Ext Size (I recommend choosing half of the storage space that your card is.
- For a 256mb card, select 128M
- For a 512mb card, select 256M
- For a 1gb card, select 512M
- For a 2gb card, select 1024M
- For a 4gb card, select 2048M
- For a 8gb card, select 4096M
- any memory card higher than this will not be partitioned, the phone will not be able to read it properly, but I would recommend an 8gb card, and if you have any smaller than 1gb, I wouldn’t even bother wasting your time – but go ahead if you wish.
- Now it will ask you what Swap size you want:
- If you have a 256mb or a 512mb card, select 0M.
- If you have a 1gb or a 2gb card, select 32M.
- If you have a 4gb or a 8gb card, select 64M.
- If it asks to confirm, select yes, now wait for a few minutes (grab a drink – you’ve earned it).
Step 6 - Preparing CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1
- Once you’ve partitioned your card, Tap Reboot Recovery in the Advanced Menu.
- You will be back to the normal green text and black background.
- Scroll down to “install zip from sdcard”
- Select “choose zip from sdcard” Now there’s nothing on your sd card. If this has happened, then you know your card has been successfully partitioned.
- Take out the battery of your phone, and then the memory card.
- Put the memory card in your computer (you should also notice that the size has halved)
- Put the other two files from your desktop onto the root of your micro SD card.
Step 7 - Installing CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1
- Put the sd card back in the phone, and turn the phone on normally.
- You will automatically be taken to Revolutionary because you’ve wiped the phone
- Open up ClockworkMod Recovery again (by pressing the down volume key once, followed by the power button)
- You will still have the green writing and the black background (v2.5.0.1)
- Select “install zip from sdcard”
- Select “choose zip from sdcard”
- Locate “update-cm-7.1.0.1-buzz-signed.zip” and install.
- [OPTIONAL – GOOGLE APPS]
- Select “install zip from sdcard”
- Select “choose zip from sdcard”
- Locate “gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip” and install
- Go back, and select “reboot system now”
- Startup will take a little bit longer than normal, don’t worry, this is normal.
- Login with your Google account and follow the Startup process like you did when you got the phone new. (or similar at least )
Step 8 - Get Your Apps Back
- On your computer, visit https://play.google.com/apps
- Select install on every app that you want that you’ve previously downloaded from the market.
Step 9 – Get Pictures / Music Back
- On your default home screen on your phone, Tap Menu / Settings / Storage / Unmount SD Card.
- Put the memory card in your computer
- Copy the files from the folder that you backed up earlier on onto the card.
- Put the memory card back in the phone.
Step 10 – Install S2E (simple2ext)
- Open up Google Play on your phone and search for S2E and install the first one that comes up.
- OR visit https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.krikun.s2e on your computer and install the app through there.
Step 11 – Configuring S2E (simple2ext)
- Once you have the app installed, open up S2E (Doesn’t matter if other apps are still installing / Downloading)
- check every single box on the main app page.
- If some items cannot be highlighted, don’t worry for the minute, just highlight what you can.
- Now press the menu button within the app, and select “Settings”
- Make “Advanced mode” be checked
- Make “Extended partitions info” be checked
- Make “Set read buffer” be checked (and set the buffer size to 2MB)
- DO NOT MOUNT AS EXT4 OR SELECT IMPORT – EVER!
- Press back, and then tap the menu button again.
- This time, select the reboot option.
- Once the phone has rebooted play a few apps, open the browser send a text, etc… (Do anything that will use memory on your phone – Facebook’s a good one)
- Now open up S2E again, and the options that were not available earlier are now available, select them, and reboot again from Menu / Reboot within the app.
- CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE INSTALLED CYANOGENMOD 7.1.0.1 WITH AN SD-EXT.
If you ever want to see how much space you have left for apps, data, cache, etc… Download “FreeSpace” from Google Play - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.krikun.freespace
Hoped this helped guys,
I just feel this needs to be on the internet after the amount of time I spent fiddling with my phone, trying to figure this out.

Do you really need to have a partition of SD card to exactly half?
For instance 512M is enough for 8Gb card.....
Also a 16gb class 10 card gives no problems at all when partitioned.......

it is up to you how many free space you want
I have 8g card and always have a 256mb partition set. Never needed any more than that. I also use custom mtd along side with various sizes depending on rom.
using my thanks as likes
i ever tray, with the thread ROM rempuzzle and luck,, you thread very helfull if any pic,
thank you very much, it's helpful guide
Awesome...... Thank you very much. Instead of installing update-cm-7.1.0.1-buzz-signed.zip, I had used SplashMOD_v2.0-Final which installed really smoothly without any problem.
Excellent!!
Indeed this is a very good tutorial, very in depth and more importantly actually helps you get the job done
awesome tutorial buddy
Problem with partition: Solved
Just mentioning for anyone that has problems.
I could select only a few options is S2E and I could not use extended partition. I could not add apps to this or mount from recovery.
Actually I formatted it from recovery and then it worked. Sorry if it is a step of the installation procedure that I did not see.
How does this partition works? My data space is completely free... If I need an app to run even if I removed the SD card how do I install this to the app data?
I have to try his one out .. thanks

- For a 1gb card, select 512M

- For a 4gb card, select 2048M
- For a 8gb card, select 4096M

This not correct dude. size of 256/512 is nore than sufficient for wildfire.
I personally had 512/8gb but I had to format it to reduce it to 256.
Also the swap increases USB mount time very significantly. On cm9 I had to disable swap in order to mount it. Swap is not recommended for low end devices like htc buzz and I had read that it DAMAGES the SD card.
Plus swap enabled and disabled did not make a difference for me!
Last point:s2e is terribly slow. I recommend using cronmod script. It will mount SD EXT automatically at boot and ensure faster execution.
Sorry for bugging!
Also on step 6, where it says
"- Take out the battery of your phone, and then the memory card."
I think that there is a option to power off, not just shocking device in my opinion but ok...
I use link2sd which can show "storage use" ... no problems at all.
cm9
is this methode also helpfull on a cm9?
and does this patition works as internal memory
when some apps are moved to SD card, I always need to login again and again every time i start them up. (f.e. facebook, twitter, but also my agenda widget wouldn't work when moved. Will this solve the issue?
so I tried it with cm9. but there is something not working with s2e... I can't check any of the options in the main screen nor is there is an option "advanced" in the settings.
what did i do wrong?
in the log list of s2e i find the following:
Initialization...
Ext partition found: /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Use built-in tune2fs
Use built-in e2fsck
Setup read_ahead value
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 not mounted... Exit!

So this is the step where all doesn't go according to plan.
so I succesfully partitioned my sd. installed cm and installed s2e from your link.
but s2e doesn't work as described. In the main screen , there are no boxes to mark. also no option to reboot in the application. nor is there an advanced section in the settings.
is this an other application nowadays? or did I do something wrong? in my previous post I put the log I find in s2e after starting?
could someone help?
Odp: How to use a sd-ext on HTC Buzz (Wildfire)
s2e won't work with ics ); install darktremor script instead. then run it in terminal emulator and ur apps will be on sd ext.

Howdy, folks. Having a little trouble getting my SD card to format properly so I can take full advantage of the DL DesireZ ROM. I've read the instructions from F-bone, but still confused.
I've been twaddling around with the Gpartd disc, and can create a 1536MB partition, but when I then segment that to 1024, I keep getting shorted 1MB and wind up with a 511MB partition. I also recall when moving things around seeing a message about the MBR being missing, so I recreated it.
Is there any reason why the ext4 partitions must be at the end of free space, rather than at the beginning? Why do I keep having this 1MB segment floating around? Is that for the MBR, and if so, where should I place it?
Also, the capacity on the card is 16GB (the standard HD2 MicroSD card that came with the phone) but it's showing only 14.8-ish Gig. I presume that's because of the difference between the definition of 'gig' at 1000 and the actual 1024 size, and/or slack space consumed by the partitioning and formatting, but if someone could confirm, it would put my mind at ease.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
I followed the previous and for the first time it went smooth and the build rebooted with no bootloop after first boot.
Ignore the bit where it says what your size for fat 32 should be, that's for an 8gb card, just follow everything and you should end up with 13.4 fat32, I think that's what i had anyhow, all space on card used in 3 partitions

since there are still people asking for more details on how to install and how complicated its to install & set up partitions on sd card, i've went back to F-bone's previous post which helped me install my nand and partition and added a little more details and links to Gparted and Panasonic formatter. thank F-bone for this!!
Ok here it goes - this guide describes the way I do it to install the NAND+3partitions variation.
1) Download v3.3 and extract it on your desktop.
2) Download Panasonic SD Formatter and GPARTED Live CD ISO (google)
Panasonic formatter link=
http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/index.html or
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/
Gparted live cd iso link:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gparted/files/gparted-live-stable/ (120 MB!)
3) Shut down your HD2 and remove the SDCard - place the SDCard in a card reader and BACKUP your files (photos etc).
4) Format the SDCard in your laptop or PC using the Panasonic SD Formatter (Full Format)
Also, I have windows 7 and you can go to my Start/computer/SD card drive, right click and format: file system choose Fat32, allocation size, choose the highest 32kb or 64kb, uncheck quick so its full format. That will also do it and no need to download Panasonic if you prefer the windows tools.
5) Boot GParted Live CD (instructions on Gparted Live )
-the file you downloaded for Gparted live Cd Iso is an image file meaning you should burn it into a cd or a dvd in order to be able to use it. Do that by any program capable of burning image files ( nero is an example of such programs)
-after making the cd/dvd, place the cd/dvd in your cd/dvd drive and restart your computer, instead of loading windows, Gparted will load from the cd/dvd.
-next as you are entering Gparted you’re faced with 4 options, choose GPARTED LIVE(DEFAULT SETTINGS)
-next 4 more choices, choose don’t touch keymap
-next choose language, 33 for English. Type 33 press enter
-next, will ask you which mode, type 0(continue to start x to use gparted automatically) press enter
Now gparted is loaded,
on the main screen I will be your hard drive partitions, don’t touch anything of your pc partitions otherwise, you’ll possible lose your windows/personal file etc… important!!!
-So on top right, click and choose your sd card.
-when it loads you should see your sd card (Fat32 size 7540 Mb), right click, resize/move
- new window opens, type 1536 under free space following ( for example 7540 minus 1536) and press add ( I’ll add a screen shot)
-now you have two partitions, Fat32 size 6004 Mb & Unallocated size 1536 Mb.
-right click on Unallocated, click new(new box opens),set to primary and under file system select Ext4 then press add.
-now you named unallocated to ext4 so you got Fat32 and Ext4
-do the same process, right click on Ext4 click on resize/move, choose 512 under space following (1536-512) press add, now you have Fat32, Ext4(size 1GiB), Unallocated(size 512Mib)
-just like before, right click on Unallocated, New, set to primary under file system choose Ext4 and add.
-MAKE SURE YOU PRESS APPLY or none of these changes will take effect. After gpart will do its process you’ll have 3 partitions!!!
-At this point your SDcard has 3 partitions FAT32, ext4 1024MiB, and ext4 512MiB - EXIT Gparted and boot into Windows again.
6) Go to your desktop where you extracted the rom and open config.txt
7) Change gps_zone to your country's zone (=gr for Greece) - leave the rest of the settings intact for NAND+3partitions SDcard variation of this rom - save file.
8) Before you remove the SDcard from your laptop or PC make a folder Desire_DL and copy ONLY the config file you just saved to Desire_DL folder.
9) Safely remove the SDCard and place it in your HD2.
10) Turn on HD2 and HOLD power key to get into MAGLDR 1.11
11) Choose USB Flasher(option 4) and press phone (Green) key
12) Connect your HD2 to your computer
13) Go to your desktop and from the rom folder you extracted run Install.
14) Wait
15) Wait
16) Wait… it may take a while, since the rom will format ext4 partition(s).
17) Now that HD2 has booted do the basic settings and REBOOT again. DO NOT INSTALL APPS etc etc at this point
18) Now that you have rebooted for 2nd time you can do whatever you want - maybe do a 3rd reboot to see that everything is stable
NOTE: When the rom boots wait for a while before using the phone until various system services load in the background after the SD card is prepared... wait 30-40 seconds
hope this helps...

Thanks for the post, but it didn't answer my questions. I read both Reza's and F-bone's posts and my problem remains - I have a 511MB (not 512) partition when doing it by their instructions.

That's for your basic apps2sd, some builds like the one we're running you need to use gparted to create one fat32, one 1gb ext4 and another 350mb ext4, CWM doesn't allow you to do that, just one ext3 so whatever size you select.
Wow. Ok, that's strange. Tried it again today and it worked fine. Wierd. Thanks for the input, guys.
Hallo friends,
I've read the threads and I could not find anything that may serve my problem. My htc hd2 says that there is not enought memorry all the time because of my "Internal memory". It is law than 14 mb and this causes me a lot of troubles. I've tried menu/settings/applications/manage applicantions BUT the problem is that my "move to SD card" is grayed and it could not be pressed. What shell I do?
Thank you in advance

I have only one question. Could I create ext3 partition in clock work recovery ? Is this android rom able to recognize it and work with it. I have american android 2.3.7 and Im not able to make this partition work in this ROM and thats why I have very small internal memory
BTW is this ROM stable with everything working ?

I partitioned my SD in CWM and haven't experienced any problems (with Typhoon CM7) so I would guess you'll be fine

so if I do this:
2. PARTITION YOUR STORAGE CARD FOR A2SD ROMS (IF REQUIRED)
NOTE1: Setting up a partition on your Storage Card will allow A2SD compatable Roms to automatically install apps to this partition rather than using your phones internal memory. This is useful for people that have alot of apps to install and for people who want to flash a Sense Rom and wont have much internal memory left.
NOTE2: Once you create an A2SD partition on your Storage Card all information will be lost so make sure to backup everything to your pc so it can be copied back after. The accessible space on your Storage Card will be made smaller by the amount of the partition you set up so only make it as big as you need make it huge if you dont have many apps to install)
1. Boot into the Clockwork Mod menu
2. Go down to 'Advanced' and select (by pressing 'Call Button')
3. Select 'Partition SD Card'
4. Select Size of required partition not sure then 1024M is a good size)
5. Make ABSOLUTELY sure you want to continue and then select 0M Swap Size
Your Storage Card will now be partitioned with the size you selected.
ALL DATA ON YOUR STORAGE CARD WILL BE LOST!!
-------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------
3. FLASHING A CWM (CLOCKWORK MOD) ROM
1. Connect your phone to your pc via the USB Cable
2. In the Clockwork Mod main menu select 'wipe data/factory reset' and then 'Yes' on the next screen
3. When the data wipe is complete, select 'install zip from sd card' in the main menu
4. Go down to 'choose zip from sdcard' and select
5. Scroll down to your CWM Rom (which you should have copied to the Root of your Storage Card) and select it
6. Select 'Yes' from the options and wait until you get a message saying 'Install from sdcard complete'
Note: You can repeat steps 3-5 if you have more zips to install such as gps data or screen mods
7. Once finished press the 'Back' button to get to the previous menu screen
8. Select 'reboot system now' to restart your phone and your Android Rom should boot
9. Once Android has booted and you have gone through the setup screens, LONG PRESS the 'End' button and select reboot to reboot your phone to avoid possible FC (Force Close) problems
then should be my EXT3 partition working normally with this ROM ? And Im not gonna have any problem with insufficient internal memory ?

Yep First make a backup of your ROM in CWM, then copy the contents of your SD card to your PC. This is extremely important as partitioning WILL delete all SD contents. Copy the contents of the SD card back over and I think you would be fine as none of the internal stuff would be deleted. Boot up and see how it works. If everything is deleted, simply restore the backup and you're done

Im afraid that this instructions is working only with typhoon CM7 but not with NexusHD2-ICS-CM9. There is whole thread on how to run ext3 partition in this build but it is too complicated for me.
I just need simple instructions and active download links for programs I need to installation but I think I could just dream about it.
Typhoon CM7 clockwork recovery 3.0.2.5 150MB/5Mb download link is dead. 50 Percent of links on this forum are dead. I tried to download it by using google but it was futile.
Where could I get it ?
I have written a simple guide that may help you.

I dont know the Stock MIUI ROM but If everything is working and there is not any problem with internal memory then Im gonna try it
it is really hard to choose the suitable NAND ROM for HD2 because there is too wide selection so it is hard for newbie to pick one.
I had american android 2.3.7 SD and I liked it but problem was battery drain.

Stick to MIUI and CM7 ROMs in my opinion, Sense isn't fast (despite what people say, the Sense UI is a RAM hog and doesn't flow very well, even on the Desire S that my brother has) and these have no issues (camcorder on Sense is buggy). Battery drain will be far better on any NAND ROM compared to an SD ROM, and as long as you partition your SD card there won't be any issues with storage.

Dear All,
Many thanks for your links and suggestions.
This is what made me a happy man. May be it is useful for others.
1) Downgraded from HSPL 3.03 to HSPL 2.08 from HSLP4.exe
Step by Step Guide
Press volume down button (don’t let go) and power on your phone.
It will load into ‘Red, Green, Blue and White’ screen bootloader.
You can see your HTC HD2 SPL version there.
Connect USB cable from PC to phone.
Serial status will be turned into USB.
At PC, right click on HSPL4.exe and select ‘Run as administrator’.
Click ‘Yes’ if User Access Control prompt up.
Follow onscreen instructions to install.
Do make sure that you select 2.08.HSPL.
After installation, you should see ‘We hacked it!’ on your phone.
That’s all.
2) Download Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14 from http://www.wupload.in/file/2649215467/Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14.rar

FLASH CLOCKWORK MOD TO YOUR DEVICE from Recovery_250M_system_10M_cache_v3.0.2.4_.zip
NOTE: There are 3 CWM images attached at the bottom of this thread. You only need to install 1 of the images depending on what type of Android Rom you want to flash. The larger the size of the CWM Partition the less space there will be left for programs installed to your phone.
150MB Partition - For lite Roms without Sense such as CM7. Gives most internal space on your phone for apps
250MB Partition - Standard size Roms or squashed Sense Roms
400MB Partition - Full Sense Roms. Hardly any internal space for apps. 512ROM Leo's will need A2SD external partition set up
If you arent sure which size you need then check the first few posts of the Rom you want to flash as it will usually tell you which size partition it needs.
1. Download the CWM Partition you require and extract it to a new folder on your pc
2. Connect your phone to your pc via the USB Cable
3. Restart your phone and HOLD DOWN the 'End Button' (far right) until the Magldr Menu appears
4. Keep pressing the 'Volume Down' button to goto Option 5. USB Flasher and press the 'Call Button' (far left) to select it
*The screen should now say Wait USB...USB*
5. Run DAF.exe (Right Click and Run As Administrator if you have Vista or Windows 7) in the folder you extracted the image to and follow the intructions on your pc to start flashing
6. After flashing the phone will reboot. HOLD DOWN the 'End Button' (far right) until the Magldr Menu appears
To start Clockwork Mod keep pressing the 'Volume Down' button to goto Option 8. AD Recovery and press the 'Call Button' (far left) to select it
NOTE: If the Rom demands a different size CWM then you can download any of the attached sizes, then extract the contents and edit the flash.cfg file with Notepad. Change the sizes on the following lines depending on what you need:
system ya ***M (partition size)
cache ya **M (cache size)

8. Select 'reboot system now' to restart your phone and your Android Rom should boot
9. Once Android has booted and you have gone through the setup screens, LONG PRESS the 'End' button and select reboot to reboot your phone to avoid possible FC (Force Close) problems
NOTE: The first boot of your Rom will take alot longer than subsequent boots so leave it and give it time (15 minutes max)
IMPORTANT: If anything goes wrong, start fresh (DELETE EVERYTHING) from Wipe HTC HD2 Toolkit (HD2ToolKit4.2.0.1.zip)

There are few issues (faced till now) with NexusHD2-IceCreamSandwich_Beta10 (Android 4.0.3) ROM
- No Video
- No Signature feature in Exchange Mail
- Camera hangs
- Gallery hangs sometimes. -- Solved by installing Real Player and opening images from there.
- Backlight seems dim even when full brightness is selected.
- I could not find an option to disable vibration in keyboard. -- Solved by "Go Keyboard" from Market. So far it is working perfectly.
Other than these, I am in love with my HD2.
Please suggest if there are any solutions to these.

I do not use Google Maps. But I turned down for a while and act as they should.
As for the camera - the camera is working, but I have a problem with the video recording. However, this is the solution to the first page of ROM which I sent to you.
- FB - I read about this problem but to be honest, this synchronization is not necessary to me.
I did not use this site. I checked only the most popular threads on xda. And I also just looked Android 4.0

Recovery or system? System should be 384. Recovery should be 6mb for ext4recovery, 8mb for TWRP (which I recommend).

You can also use TWRP Extended. It should be better choice than ext4recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2120297
Do you plan to use only Android or dual boot with WM6.5/WP7?
If you're going android only way you may try also CLK instead of MAGLDR - it makes repartitioning NAND easier
Using this file you will get flashable img file (just put in in you sd card and hold vol- during powering) with CLK and TWRP Extendend.

Thank you for your message so so much. I didn't do 4ext etc anything and don't know anything about that. I only know flashing rom with cwm:crying: Which steps I must do for flash them? Do you have a tutorial for that? Also I don't understand anything for TWRP etc. I saw it firs time now:crying: And I want only android. Don't want dual boot etc.
Now I removed phone with task29 and flashed TWRP. What can I do now? Phone waiting on main menu

Good!
Now, you are in TWRP menu.
1) First, go to reboot (TWRP is touch based) and select bootloader. Phone will reboot to bootloader (clk).
2) Select (navigate via vol+ and vol-, enter the menu by pressing "green" phone) SETTINGS, than RESIZE PARTITION
3) Select SYSTEM and set size to 390.
4) Go back using back arrow button, select COMMIT CHANGES and APPLY
5) Press back arrow button to return to menu and select RECOVERY
Now, you are properly partitioned and back in recovery (TWRP).
6) Go to ADVANCED -> PARTITION SD CARD. Check your partitions. First one (SD card) should be VFAT. Second one is SD-Ext. Check SD-Ext size. Should read: 1024 MB or something similar If it is so, click arrow in lower left corner of screen. No you are back on home screen.
7) Select INSTALL. In file manager select zip file with rom you want to install. Installer will start. elect DATA ON EXT type of install (should be best choice for you). Remember to select PPP type of connection if asked.
8) When installer will finish, reboot. Your phone should boot straight to android.

I did it ) So thanks for your help
Guide (Root): App2SD
Notice: This is my first guide so feel free and I am not responsible for any damage caused. Also I am not involved in development of this app!
This guide is tested on my honor 7 running wbt 5.0 rom
As we all know the honor7 and all the other honor devices running Android 6.0 do not support storage adoption at the moment.
There are ways to enable it via adb but as I experienced the method is a bit wonky and not really reliable. See the guide created by paulobrien, whom I wana thank at this point for his contribution to all sorts of android related topics and especially for his efforts on honor.
So I´ve decided to write a quick guide on how to circuit this problem by using an app called apps2sd which can be downloaded from the google play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.co.pricealert.apps2sd&hl=en
I am using this method for a week straight now and no problems occured by now.
What you need:
• A rooted Honor device, usb debugging activated (the guide should be applieable to more devices, but I only tested it on my honor7)
• A micro sd card
• Apps2sd (make sure to exclude it form automatic task killer in battery settings)
• A tool called mini tool partition wizard: https://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html
• A micro sd reader
First step:
• Plug your micro sd card into your computer and start mini tool partition wizard
• Notice: Back up all your Data first, also a total backup of all your apps and system is recommended
• Select your micro sd card in partition tool, right click and select remove. ATTENTION: All your data will be lost at this point
• Now you have unallocated disk space on your card, right click it and select create
• In this menu you are able to select the disk size of your first partition, which will be your ordinary sd card shown in your file explorer (I am using a SanDisk 128 gb micro sd card and decided to split it half/half). Select your preferred file system (normally fat32) and set it as primary partition on “create as” and hit okay
• Right click the left unallocated space and hit create. The tool will now tell you that windows will be unable to access the 2nd partition, but since the partition is not intended to be used with it we can ignore this message.
• Important: the 2nd partition also needs to be created as primary partition, as for the file system I used ext4, after you have done all this hit okay
• After you have completed all these steps hit apply in the top left corner, the new partitions will now be created, this can take a while
• After the creation is completed safely remove the card and reinsert it into your device
• Install apps2sd from google play and start it
• On first start you have to select “link apps to sdcard”
• A dialog will pop up where you have to specify your 2nd patition, in my case the path was correct so I suppose it should be on all honor devices, select ext4 as file format, since my rom is using super su higher than 2.2 I have also checked this option and hit okay to create the mount script (other methods are not tested at this point)
• Now you are able to move all desired apps to your sd card by ticking it and select “link” in the bottom right corner
• Select all the attributes you want to move and hit okay
• You can also activate autolink in settings, so all your newly installed apps will be linked to your sd card automatically
I hope this guide is helpful for some of you guys and I will do my best to keep this thread active.
