Partition SD Card and where does Android store the market place apps

---

Hi there,

I have two questions concerning Android:

1. Is it possible to partition a, let's say 16GB sd card, into two of 8GB each? So that one I can use for WM and one for Android?

In this context, my second question: Where does Android, if I start it with HaRET, the apps save when I download apps from the store? Does this information interfere with Windows Mobile if it is not saved separately?

Thank you a lot!

Kind of. If you look around the other android device forums, you'll see stuff mentioning "Apps2SD". This basically is a 600mb ext2 linux partition where all your apps would be installed (haven't bothered but will probably do this next!).... an absolute must for 2.1 Eclair users, less so for 2.2 Froyo rom users since there's an "official" App2SD solution. Don't think there's a specific way to separate the two yet.

Any apps you are currently installing in Android are getting written into the data.img file.

Finally, if a Mod is looking at this thread, can we have a "HD2 Android General" forum for Android-HD2 specific questions? This Dev thread is getting messy.

Thanks a lot for your answer. Will check on this.

But what about the partitioning of an sd card? I would like to have Android an WM separated on my memory card, especially because I have to have a clean sd card and put the files into the root.
