-< Partitioning Questions >-

OK .. Im about to flash a new rom (ParanoidAndroid HD2) but i am a little confused on how to do all the partitioning requested.

Heres an example:

misc ya 1M
boot yboot|ro 5M
system ya 200M
cache ya 2M
userdata ya|asize|hr allsize

I understand that i can use HDToolkit to partition the system and cache, but what about partitioning "boot" and "misc". And what is userddata ya?

Everything in that list gets partitioned when you do the system partition, so don't worry about it.

Also, your thread title says SD partitioning, which is nothing to do with anything in your post,, totally different thing.

So basically all i want to do is make sure the system partitioning is as recommended or enough and the same with the cache. The other partitioning is done during the installation.

If thats the case, thank you very much for your input.

Basically yeah, just select 200MB in the HD2 Toolkit and let it do it for you.

thank you so much

1.misc is for android misc data and boot is for the linux kernel and ramdisk in order to let the rom boot

2.normally we set boot to 5 and cache to >=2 because roms now dont really use this partition for cache, it's just used by cwm

3.misc and recovery should normally be 1 and 5~6

4.userdata is for android to store your system and application data in your daily usage

5.usually you can find an instruction for partitions size in a rom thread


EDIT:userdata is usually auomatically sized becasue it spreads at the end of the nand,
following other partitions...


if this helped you and enlarged your knowledge please press the thanks button :-p
