[Q]Darktremor A2SD not working on HTC ChaCha!

---

Hi there,

I'm trying to use A2SD, since the HTC ChaCha has a ridiculously small amount of internal storage... After following the instructions thoroughly (Partitioned with MiniTool Partition Wizard, 1 partition Fat32, 1 partition EXT2 of 1024MB and then i flashed the A2SD zip through the CWM Recovery)
I installed Quick System Info Pro to check whether it's working. But the A2SD shows "no information available". My Application Manager tells me I only have 86MB left (I haven't installed much, yet, because I want A2SD to work first)

So after searching the internet for I few hours, I couldn't find anything like my problem. I tried the a2sd diskspace command in terminal, which gave me the errors "Darktremor Apps2SD may not have ran during boot. Cannot read a2sd.mountpoint" and "SD Card not mounted".

I can access my SD card with no problems at all. What's going on?

Can somebody help me? T.I.A.!

As far as I know the SD partitions only work if you create them with CWM. I'm pretty sure there was someone else posting a similar problem with a partition created using linux.

Try partitioning with CWM and check if that works.

I've tried partitioning via CWM before, but A2SD didn't work. Therefore I tried using MiniTool...

Well, did the whole thing over. Partitioned via CWM. Flashed A2SD zip again.

QSI: "A2SD-storage: No info available"

I ran a2sd diskspace in terminal again. This time I get the errors "No a2sd.swap environment variable found" and "Darktremor Apps2SD may not have ran during boot. Cannot read a2sd.mountpoint"

If I try a2sd reinstall i get the "DarkTremor Apps2SD may not have ran..." and "No SD mounted"

Darktremor A2SD working on HTC ChaCha but only for ext2

I dnt knw reason but i tried ext3 it dsnt work..(Partitioned with MiniTool Partition Wizard)..but when i tried ext2 it worked again Partitioned with MiniTool Partition Wizard...

but in command a2sd partlist it shows that my rom support ext2 and ext3 but dsnt support ext4.

But actually it is not supporting ext3 as well..

Doesn't CWM make a partition as EXT2 by default?

NO

No only make partition as EXT3 by default.


i'm using latest version of CWM 5.0.2.8..

Anyway.

First I partitioned with MiniTool 1 Fat32 and 1 Ext2. Didn't work.
The second time with CWM partition Ext3 it still won't work.

Anyone?

if ext2 is found during installation it will work without do anything
to check if it works type a2sd check
if ext2 is created after install type a2sd check then a2sd reinstall
(execute using adb shell ex. adb shell a2sd check)

Nope, didn't work. Maybe it's because i was using the stock rom, and the rom might refuse.
I installed CM7 now, but it's not really satisfying... I JUST WANT MY CHACHA WITH MORE THAN 150MB SPACE.

Sent from my HTC ChaCha A810e using XDA App

try to create ext2 partition after installation. because during installation CWM by default format SD ext partition and convert ext2 partition to ext3 partition (you select option to format SD ext or not but it 'll format SD ext partition during ROM installation). you can check it in (Mini Tool Partition Wizard) it 'll show 2nd partition as ext3 after ROM installation .. So try to convert ext3 to ext2(Mini Tool Partition Wizard) after ROM installation then open terminal in your mobile or use adb shell enter command a2sd check then a2sd reinstall.. i had same problem but solved it by this method now its working perfectly..

I think stock ROM does not support ext2 partition. but custom ROM are available that based on stock ROM and support a2sd and ext2 or ext3 partitions.

Can anybody confirms that Does stock rom support EXT2 partition.?
