[EmoGamer]

Well, I hope you're not typing that "rm1"

There's a space "rm 1"

See my video. I have voice dialog. Lol...

Hope that helps.

once i've done the partition, which I have, will the 'swapper app' (which wasn't previously working) work now? - or isn't it needed now the partitions have been made?? I noticed some good improvement, but can the two work in conjunction?

[EmoGamer]

Most of the new Hero ROM's do swapper on their own so they recommend you not using it...

And by recommend I mean bricking your phone. =p

i need help with my partition, i have 2041mb any ideas???

[cubetubeme]

Your instructions will be:

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 1509

mkpartfs primary ext2 1509 2009

mkpartfs primary linux-swap 2009 2041

Hope that helps, if not then hit me back!

[alphakennyway]

[curiousjane2007]

hey can u please help me i tried to partition my sd card wich is 3964mb and i cant seem to get the calculations right for it, Please help...

[gameofwar77]

ok you ha ve total 3964 mb, so if you need a ext3 500mb and linux -swap for 32mb and the rest is the fat32 3432mb, here is the step by step..in the console (altx)type this..backup everything coz it will reformat your sd parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 rm 1 rm 2 rm 3 mkpartfs primary fat32 0 3432 mkpartfs primary ext2 3432 3932 mkpartfs primary linux-swap 3932 3964 quit upgare_fs reboot to recovery done

Hey gameofwar7,

Thanks for the help. I have followed everything to the dot. I have a 8G 6 class and it all works good. Question is that since we partitioned the ext2 to like 500MB & then have did the upgrade_fs when loading my Hero 2.63 Rom & going into my sd & memory its only showing that theres 84MB of internal memory Shouldn't this be like 500MB or something? I've read up & understand that the app2sd app doesn't work but how to increase the internal memory for this rom another way?

[EmoGamer]

What ROM are you using??? For some reason when I use any of the newer Hero builds (Drizzy's, JacxHero) the automatic apps2sd never works. Can't figure out why (I have everything partitioned correctly). If you find an answer to this, let me know! =p

[ricanstylez4uma]

lmao more than 32mb of swap ? your asking for trouble lol..

[gameofwar77]

not now buddy but you can add me to gtalk if you need some help regarding your g1 and sdcard..

[richberr]

hi can you do a vid on everything i need to do on my sd card from start to finish to do the partition, upgrade and everything? theres a lot of dummys like me who want to get hero but dont know linux from a hole in the ground :) thanks

[EmoGamer]

I have a video I just uploaded showing you this... Hope it helps. =)

[gameofwar77]

cyanogen recovery cannot create ext3 unless if you upgrade the ext 2 to ext3...the command in the recovery  (altx)is "upgrade_fs"

[antwanp]

Wouldn't it be better to format the second partition as EXT3 now, instead of EXT2?

Just make it into a tutorial video please!!!
