Hi,
Short / long story:
I have long time unused HTC HD2.
With Android (NexusHD2-KitKat-CM11.0_V4.5.zip is the file which I found in backup, so I assume this is what I install - sorry, it was long time ago.
Some time ago I need microSD card so I took it from my HD2, I did backup only windows FAT32 partition.
Now, I need to run my HD2 , I have install microSD 2 GB (800 MB FAT32 + 1GB Ext4) but is not working correctly.
It starting I can install Teamviewer, but when I need to install HTC module for teamviewer it's telling me that is not enough storage.
Quite often is restarting and after restart not keeping any settings (wi-fi) app installed (teamviewer) it's resetting each time to factory settings.
In Settings - Storage shows 'Total space' - Available 0.00 bytes
I did what is instructed on this webpage but it didn't help http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...mory-in-android-nand-roms-cannot-install-apps
Can anybody advise me which is the easiest way to make my HD2 working properly? Means have enough memory to do anything.
The purpose of restoring my HD2 is working as a router, tethering machine. I need to share internet from mobile network for smart TV and Tablet over wi-fi. It will be unattended so I need remote control access (team viewer host).
I'm open for a suggestion of changing the ROM if there is something reasonable easy and described (as I'm not big ROM expert). i've seen a ROM list for HD2, is too long.
Thanks in advance for your help.
it sounds like you are missing a data partition, perhaps the sdcard you used before had an ext4 partition which your new one does not have. Use recovery, in nand, to create an ext4 partition, then boot into rom, might work.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I did Ext4 by MiniTool Partition under Windows primarily.
And later in recovery, I have setup 1024MB and swap = 0 M.
It didn't help.
Should I mount it or so?
Update:
I have a look in log in nand - recovery and it's says that my second partition is Ext3 not Ext4.
And there is no way to change it.
What is your nand recovery? version?
Clk or magldr?
The recovery might say ext3 when it means ext4, but it does not seem right.

It says on the top bar screen 'CWM-based on Recovery v5.0.2.6' but was install with ROM so should be fine.
try using the recovery to format the ext partition to ext2 or 3 then use it again to ext4

As I said, I have created and formatted partitions under windows FAT32 & Ext4 and then under recovery, there was no choice of the file system file, I can only choose the size. And it was formatted to Ext3 - log saying.

...probably not. I'm assuming if it isn't there isn't an easy way to do so and keep my data?. .. or is there? .
Use recovery 1.7 cyanogen version to make a ext2 partition then upgrade it from ext2 to ext3 to ext4. Mount your sd card and back it up before wiping it.
1 Install recovery 1.7 cyanogen
2 Boot into recovery
3 select patition sd card option
4 select partition sd
5 choose 0 for swap 1 to 2 gigs for ext2 and the rest will be fat32.
5 once that is done go back into patition sd card options and select ext2 to ext3 then after thats done select ext3 to ext4.
Hope this helps

Cyanogen did not write this recovery tool; Amon_RA created a CM-based theme for it as it was heavily requested. He also added in support for Soyars' Apps2SD implementation (what you are giving a how-to for).
You actually do not need to change ext types for this to work. For testing purposes, I left it as the stock ext partition type created by 1.7 and apps2sd works beautifully.

I never said it was made by Cyanogen. I know Amon_RA made it.

how can you revert the partition on the sd card?
i want to have the full space on my sd card just as it came from stock.

So that didn't seem to work.
I tried without the updating of ext3 and ext4 and no dice.
I finally SEEMED to have gotten it to work. I did the partition of:
SWAP 0
EXT2 2048
REMAINDER
Anyways, I did this WITHOUT the ext3 and ext4 updates. When I went into the OS, the App2SD is enabled and the SD card mounts fine.
Hopefully this will continue to work. Any1 know what the problems are without updating to ext4?

A REALLY EASY WAY TO PARTITION YOUR MEMORY CARD IS AS FOLLOWS...
back-up your card
download Clockwork Recovery MOD from the market
buy the pro version because this guy is a genius*
+you might have to in order to partition idk
click partition memory card (something like that)
i clicked 512MB then 256MB for the second option.
works amazingly

Do you have a linux distro handy?
if so, you can use Gparted to create the partitions. You might need a microSD adapter though, as it seems to have trouble finding the mount point if it is in the phone.

Can anyone show me how to create an ext4 filesystem on the android. Since the phone is rooted and we hav a mod to enable apps2sd it would bt a great help as it would save a lot of memory on the phone.

You can make Ext2 or Ext3 in Recovery (There work for A2SD). Unfortunately, ClockworkMod doesn't support Ext4 yet, but you can make an Ext4 partition in Ubuntu if you happen to be running it. Hope this helps
@HCDR.Jacob,
hey there, sorry i'm a noob but can you show me how to create atleast an ext3 in clockworkmod or ROM manager? i've been at it for sometime and i do think i've formatted my sd card with ext partition but when i install apps from market or appbrain it still uses the phone memory. any ideas where I go wrong?
I have tried all kinds of ways to partition my sd card to get data2ext to work on b 0.5.
- Partitioning through rom manager
- Partitioning through paragon partition manager (didn't even work)
- Manually partitioning by running commands through terminal emulator
I manage to get the linux swap and fat32 partition but no matter which method i tried, i just can't get the ext2 partition. On the emulator, it asked if my file system was an ext2 system.
By the way, i am using an 8gb sd card that came with Nokia 5800. Is this the cause of not being able to create the ext2 partition?
Easiest way I can think of is to use the live distro of Gparted.
http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
Awesome partitioning tool and has a gui anyone can follow.
E.E.
i just partioned my 8gb yesterday with paragon, no problems. what kind of problem did you have?
@eepunk I will try that later... i'll see if there is any solution in the current software(s) i have...
@haha123 the problem i'm facing is i cannot see the sd card when i click format partition... Maybe i'm doing it wrong. Here is how i do..
1. Plug my phone into USB and click Disk Drive
2. Open up Paragon Partition Manager 11 Personal
3. Click on Partition Manager on the left tabs and launch the partition manager
4. At the bottom, click on Basic Hard Disk (HTC Android Phone USB Device)
5. Click on Format Partition in the Disk View tab.
The problem is when i click format partition. It just shows the hard disk in my PC but not the HTC Android phone USB Device.
I even tried skipping the format partition to try creating a partition but i still cannot see the HTC Android Phone USB Device.
The Error i get is "The disk already contains four primary partitions. Basic hard disks can contain only four primary partitions, including extended one.
Eh...
Why not just boot into Clockwork and use the Partition menu

Well, this is the formatting guide... what the hell did you expect? There are certain files on SD fat32 partition that some of apps use. If you unmount SD card and reformat it, those files are not available any more. Right?
Yeah true but even when i restore it doesn't work. Alright man, thanks for the guide anyways.
Hi,
I'm in need of some info. The newer nightlies support ext4. After what I have understood the transfer isn't automatically done so one needs to take a backup of the things I wanna save from the sd card and then enter recovery mode and manually format the sdcard. Is that right?
I would also like to know how big files ext4 supports and if it's possible to mount an ext4 formatted sdcard in a pc?
Cheers

The convertion to ext4 only effects the internal /data partition. The SD is not touched and also shouldn't be touched. Android, for now, cannot handle a SD not formated as FAT32. Windows also cannot read these partitions by default, only with the help of extra tools like Ext2FSD.
To convert your internal /data partition, choose advanced backup in CWM Recovery and select "data", when the backup is finished, exit the recovery via "go back" until you see the bootmenu.
- Select Tools
- Select File System Tools
- Select Format Data and Cache in ext4 !!!The internal /data partition will be erased!!!
- Go back to Stable Recovery
- Restore your "data" backup via advanced restore
- Aaaand done!

hello everyone
I have my htc hd2 several times already reinstalled with android,
Until recently, no problems but now after installing setup by rebooting I went to see internal storage 0.0 B free therefore can not install apps.
Have different android versions even tried it first did.
When I go back to windows I see free internal memory.
I also used MTTY_ver_1.42 and badblock that I had got away.
Do hspl 2.08, radio 2.15, magldr 1.13, cwm-recovery 5.0.2.6.
android versions I have tried are:
NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V3.3a-(Android 2.3.7)
TouchWizMOD_v2.1
NexusHD2-Jelly Bean-CM10.1_V2.4
One-S v1.1
Slimroms_LeoV8.0.
Who can help me?
What is your setup? Are you using "DataOnEXT"? NativeSD? Do you have an EXT partition on your sdcard? What's the system partition you created?

Wait, what do you mean by "go back to windows"? How do you have windows and still able to install android in the NAND?
I mean back to the original ROM install windows again.
When I look at memory I see that there is free memory.
If I then continue walking to android is set up from the outset, I see all the steps after the installation of internal memory 0.0 Kb

... I'm confused.. Where exactly do you see this 0kb? And why are you even looking at it? And why would you even flash WinMo after having Android? They have don't share internals. In fact, installing WinMo erases Android and its bootloaders. (Unless you're running NativeSD, which yet again, resides in the sd card and is NOT affected by the internal storage)
If you can't install apps, maybe the 4GB partition is full? (though I doubt that)
But have you tried a fresh install? (formatted SD card, all partitions?)
if I have installed android and I look at settings and memory than I see in internal memory 0 Kb stand when I want to download an app I get the message that I have no free internal memory.
The reason I had installed the original windowsrom was because I wanted to completely put out android again, I had the idea that it might be good what went sadly was not.
I formatted my sd card several times already and ext4 partition remains the same.
I also tried native but also the same.

Your problem is weird, it's not common. You must be doing something wrong but I fail to figure out what. I searched but all I could find is "resize partition, format and reflash" and "thank you! everything works now!".

What do you mean by "ext4 partition remains the same" ? You must format that as well using A PC.

I use my PC to an ext4 partition to get the message but can not mount during install, I use mini tool partition wizard.
I have tried TWRP recovery.
But unfortunately still not the solution
OK, try this: Completely format the sd card and create only 1 FAT32 partition, don't create an EXT partition. Now insert the card into your phone and boot into recovery, go to "Partition SD card" and choose 2GB and (if asked) choose ext4. Choose 0 swap and select OK/next.
Now make sure your NAND is partitioned correctly (system & cache), then copy the ROM and flash it from recovery, choose DataOnExt. Report back.
I made 1 partition on my sd card of 32Gb. made there in TWRP after 1 ext4 partition of 4GB nand to due to the overview of the android ROM.
misc ya 1M
recovery rrecov | ro | nospr filesize recovery raw.img

Okay, now I have no more ideas. If you're doing everything right, it should work immediately. Here is a quick guide on how to install android nand. I'm sorry, that's all I could do, I couldn't help.
You should wait for other suggestions, but in the meantime you can follow that guide and see if it works.

No, the RAM has nothing to do with your internal. Have you followed the guide I linked you to?
Also, try to delete an app (a preferably big one) and see if your NAND gets any more free.
