Howto: Format SD card to use Android ports requiring ext2 or linuxswap

---

Theoretically, this method eliminates the need for using GParted or any Linux Ubuntu to install Neopeek android ports (or XDandroid if babijoee decides release Ext2 ) Partition within Windows.

If I did anything wrong such as partitioning as "primary" instead of "logical" please tell me...

I have also found a program (shareware) that can open, add files, and recompress tar.gz files (especially androidinstall.tar.gz) I have tried using 7-zip, Win-Zip, and Win-Rar to do this but Winrar and Winzip will not allow me to do thos. 7-zip just gives me a memory allocation error.

Normally, you would have to install .apk files one by one which is time consuming but by adding the apk files you want to install to the directory /sdcard/npkinstall/androidinstall.tar.gz/data/apps , you can save time and it will automatically install it when you run install.exe or when you first install a neopeek android port onto your device.

The program name is "PowerArchiver"

A video to demonstrate the process of installing neopeek builds..

I am going to use this video on my site if you don't mind!?!? Some users still have problems to get an EXT2 partition working! Especially windows users have this kind of problems! Anyway thank you for sharing this. Great work!

I could add apk into the tar.gz with total commander with installed bzip plugin.

i didnt try to install the new androidinstall, but next time i'll add some apps before installing.

I haven't tried total commander for PC with the bzip plugin but I'm sure its a better method than using PowerArchiver but it works both ways.

I also tried G-zip but it wasn't very noob friendly.

Yes, but to my knowledge you can only run one neopeek build.

I basically have a folder called "Androids" and then I have several builds in their own folders. You just have to adjust the startup.txt in each to reflect the folder location.

Oh and if you're having problems dual booting windows mobile and neopeek builds with GEN.Y dual boot (not dual booting 2 android builds though) follow this link..

did u mean by adding rel_path=XXXXXXXX on the startup.txt? i will give it a try to store neopeek build and xdandroid build on same sd card this way.

by the way, i already dual booting my winmo and android but i just can't resist the temptation to try latest android build by xandroid and noepeek. they both awesome

Yes, that is correct.
