TWRP 2.8.1.0

I have a problem to make sd-ext partition with TWRP 2.8.1.0 partition editor. Same problem was with version 2.7.1.0.
E. Unable to locate sd-ext partition.

@jrior001 I guess /sd-ext just has to be added to twrp.fstab?

Is this a feature you've used on ace previously? I can't see where it was ever implemented for ace in the past and the devices trees as I see them are not built to support sd-ext, frankly I'm not familiar with it at all.

It its something we should have or other ace recoveries have had I'll look into it but I don't want to waste time reinventing something ace never had.

This is feature that I have use with 4ext recovery. I make sd-ext partion (2048MB) to apps and link all apps with Link2SD. If I install twrp recovery, it even don't show sd-ext partition. It show only about 5.6 GB size partition. I can't repartition it to full size (8GB) with twrp. Only way is to install 4ext recovey to delete all partions or make new partitions because even coputer don't show this sd-ext partition after using twep partition maker.

I've got the partitioning working but once I reboot I'm not seeing that new sd-ext partition anywhere. Looks like cm doesn't support it either? What ROM are you running?

No it must work with CM. Try 4ext recovery to make partitions.

I got it figured out. The app is creating an init.d script to mount the new partition for you. I'm going to test a few things and see if I can't get sd-ext supported natively in @Mustaavalkosta builds.

In the meantime test this one for me please

It gives no errors but I can't see sd-ext partition in my computer (Ubuntu). Mounting SD card and SD-ext shows only SD card.
Link2SD app link apps to SD-ext and it shows it in storage info but mounting SD-ext is not working.

I've got a commit waiting for mustavaa's approval to add a folder at /sd-ext to mount that partition too. Also with my last test build of twrp its making the partitions fine. You may need to have your link2sd app redo the mount scripts. Its the first option in the menu after letting twrp create your partitions.

TWRP 2.8.1.2 & HTC Desire HD (PD98100)

Question about TWRP 2.8.1.2 and HTC Desire HD, how to get touch screen work? I have tested couple of versions without luck. Is there any other recovery tool without touchscreen UI? I would like to test CyanogenMod 12. Thanks!

Edit: HW/ user fault, touch screen works just fine now.

marknoll · Feb 25, 2015 at 10:25 AM

Hey jrior. Do u know how to make ace work with art? Something to do with changing /cache to 300 or more? Thanks

First I've heard if any touch issues, this has been well tested on both desire HD and inspire 4g. Get me recovery logs and kmsg from recovery boot and I'll take a look.

Art is default on LP...not sure what your talking about

Art on cm 11

In not inclined to spend time on cm11 at all, but in my experience on other devices at worked OK on cm11. I'm assuming you tried to convert and it failed? If so did you have xposed installed? I know that breaks art

marknoll · Feb 25, 2015 at 4:44 PM

Yes. I tried and failed. Its in a boot loop. I read somewhere to open terminal emulator and input df to see specs. If /cache is less than 300, it won't convert. I even tried partitioning the SD and no success.

Yes. I had xposed installed. But I did a fresh clean install, and it still bootloops

Cache partition is to small for the conversion I guess...nothing I can do about that.

marknoll · Feb 25, 2015 at 5:32 PM

I was told that I had to downgrade the boot loader from 2.0 to .85. Lol

Thatsba good idea if you want to flash the newer cm12 builds, twrp is the only thing that works with the newer builds
