maybe your making your ext3 too big..

I mean I'm not sure how some of the newer ROM's are dealing with it, or even the latest GV (as I'm still on 2.8...see no reason to update right now) but I was under the impression that 1gb was the largest you should really go to.

Like I said I don't know if that limit has now been raised by better coding in the ROM's or whatnot...no idea.

I do know that some ROM's had issues with exactly WHAT partition you made....some didn't like ext 2....or ext 3 etc...it was all dependant on the ROM..

Have you tried asking over at the GingerVillain thread on XDA?

Thanx buddy for replying
Actually I have previously tried with 512mb ext3 ... as my concern is of Radio version cause it got corrupt when is used it with sim.

Well i would post on XDA... here i feel like home so i have posted first here

 

[amit_eighty8]

Well its not GV's faults .... every ROM stop responding when i used it with SIM card....

I used OXYGEN it doesn't crashes but app using sd card crashes
InsertCoin start crashing after 2 days....

just one simple question ... i think might be some problem in partition

do i need to create swap space while creating partition...as i have left 0 unallocated space ...is that why its corrupting

My SD card is Class4 kingston...i used SD card tools it ran perfect 11mbps write and 12 mbps read speed.

HELP needed

all I can suggest is maybe wipe and re partition your card from scratch again following the FAQ here in the root section, this time just put a 1GB partition, then see how you get on from there.

It could be somethings screwed up the partition...it could be you doing a 1.5GB (though like I said I dunno if that kinda limit has changed with new radios/ROM's etc).

I can't remember much bout the swap file thing....its been a while since I set my partition up...I left it alone, went straight for the 1GB and have never changed it...don't see the need to now its set, so I can't remember the things done, hence why I suggest reading the FAQ again just to remind yourself so to speak.

 

[amit_eighty8]

Yeah.. i was reading all App2sd guides... Wish i could be in a state where i would forget all these thing ..cz week after week i have been doing these things...

yes i pledge i would be doing things within in the limits as specified 1 gb ext ..no swap and a (healthy FAT) 32 partition...


wud be start working on it after office time..thanks a lot ..buddy

 

[amit_eighty8]

I have done all what i can do .. even removing the ext partition does not solves my problem
the AOSP roms are not supporting the fat32 I am creating and from starting i have been using GPARTED live cd
This has been working fine with Sense roms ???

make sure the fat32 partition is the 1st partition and primary. the ext partition is a primary one but should come after the fat32

its weird it only happens when you insert sim?

hmm dodgy sim maybe?

yes I have always created in that way.... now i have removed ext only using fat32 as primary... it works fine for first time but whenever i restart ... boom ,,,, again blank sd card ....format it ......


will try another sd card with another sim... including all permutation and combination i can do...

but please post any suggestions....

p.s.. i can always use my SD card while in recovery....
one more thing i always partition my SD card using USB mount storage with recovery any problem with that..???

No thats how I do it too.

We did notice that CWm likes to wipe the card if the FS is dodgy

I have tried it formating with CWm too.

 

[SUroot]

Im not even talking about formatting. A few times, when simply flashing zips, I flash one, go to select the next and the card has wiped. We think this must happen when the FS is "on its way out".

Not sure this helps you, best thing ias to do what you said you would do and see what happens.
