1. Install toporesize
2. Copy the toporesize folder to C:\
3. Run toporesize.bat in c:\toporesize\...and keep waiting patiently
4. It shows the interface in few minutes, click "find file" to find your copied data.ext2 in hardisk from your mini's sd card
5. Resize it, and copy the resized file back to your sd card.

Wizard as storage device

Guys I saw somewhere on the forum or somewhere online that the wizard can be used like a removable drive but i lost the link. I tried searching the forums, but to no avail, can someone point me in the right direction once again?
Thanks

HI
Yes... Simple..

It doesnt work, it says something about not being able to find the indicated storage card. How do i use this with my mini sd inside my G3 wizard? with WM6 "the real thing" flashed to it,
Its not working for me either... I copied the files from the compressed folder and into the root of my mini SD card and with the default settings I clicked "Activate" and I got the following error: "can't open the selected card/disk device". What am I missing?
try other version of wm5storage then... one of them must work.
and make SR after install to be sure, if its not working...
cannot check, but theres version, that works...1.73 works, i think:

Are you copying WM5torage to your SD Card? Try and copy into My Device\Prgram Files\WM5torage and then try and activate it... If I'm not mistaken access to the SD card is lost on the Wizard if you enable WM5torage.. Thus having the application installed on the SD card cannot grant access to the SD Card because WM5torage itself (or perhaps other apps) are currently hogging access to the SDCard

as far, i remember it MUST work,...anyway...
You've got both the WM5torage.exe AND the DLL and you installed from CAB and restarted as it demanded right?
yes I have both the .exe and .dll but I don't have a cab to install it and I did not restart.

Install it on the device. Not the storage card.
Like what was said by TipEx "Try and copy into My Device\Prgram Files\WM5torage and then try and activate it..."
i don't have cab to install it, i just copy it from the zip file to my device but it still doesnt work. do i start this before i connect a usb cable or while its connected?
Both order should not have problem.
However despite I can run wm5torage and connect to desktop successfully (Built into WM6 Underground), the connection is very slow (<20kb/s) and unstable (displaying I/O error while copying), I don't know what the problem is.

Hey Guys Please Help

Trust me I searched and now I'm tired and need some help.
I had my sd card filled with junk files so I cleaned the sd up.
Before doing this I was able to:
- power phone down
- press down volume key and power buton.
- phne would boot up and I had the option to choose RECOVERY.
- once in recovery I got the evo icon and triangle and exclamation.
- I than pressed the up volume key and power button.
- I than got choices were I would choose APPLY SDCARD:update.zip
NBow here's the problem! When I choose that I now get an error saying NO SUCH FILE EXISTS. Before the sd cleanup when I chose that I got option to install roms and do other things.
I copied EVERY update.zip file and update file I found on my PC to the root of the sd card and NONE work.
Can you guys please link me to the right file?
Thanks In Advance!!!!

What section should it be in? General?
Make sure you named the file correctly. You do not rename it to "update.zip" because it already adds the ".zip" file extension to the back. Just name the folder "update". I made this mistake, so I'm thinking you may have done the same thing.
yeah..maybe general, but I'd suggest using ROM Manager from the market..it puts a recovery there for ya

Thanks for that. I tried it but it tells me an error occured while attempting to run privilaged command. Its like my phone got un rooted!
I will wait for this thread to be moved were its suppose to be.
My guess would be that your microSD is corrupt. Assuming you're running Windows, pull any files you need off the card and save them, then re-format the card with:
FAT32 (default)
quick format
4096 bytes
Once the card has been reformatted, put your files back on and try it again.

[Q] Offline Wikipedia (Leo's Wikipedia Reader)

Where I should put converted files? The wikiconvert made one folder ''wiki_prefix_like_enwiki_idx'' with ''segments'' and 3 files ''wiki_prefix_like_enwiki_1.lwk'', ''wiki_prefix_like_enwiki_2.lwk'', ''wiki_prefix_like_enwiki_3.lwk'', when I put them on my sdcard the application give me terminate ,,No wikipedia detected. Please load a wikipedia offlina on sdcard. More info in [page adress]. Wikipedia english language is 8Gb''
My wikipedia dump is polish.
Thanks You!
I am still trying to get this to work as the screenshots suggests it should be a really nice reader.
Does anyone know more about this?
Here is a link btw. http://www.leobueno.net/PaginaProyectoSoft.php?id=WIKI_ANDROID
Sry, for double post but i just managed to get that thing to work!
Its easy, just copy all generated files including the idx folder and the "wiki.tag" file to the root of your sd card.
Works like a charm.
Thanks for figuring that out, I've been wondering where to put files for the Leo reader. Can I ask if you've found it's possible to put some or all of the lwk files somewhere other than on the sdcard? Alas I don't have 8GB free on my sdcard for the English files, but I could put most of them in /mnt/emmc on my nook color (CM7).

On my sd card I have:
1. pages-articles.xml
2. segments
3. wiki_prefix_like_enwiki_1.lwk
4. wiki_prefix_like_enwiki_2.lwk
5. wiki_prefix_like_enwiki_3.lwk
Still does not works...
How can I get the "wiki.tag" file?
I just put all files the converter generated on the sd card. Try converting the dump again and keep track of all the files and directories it generates. Those belong on the sd card.
I have found a better solution yesterday, though:
The Aard Dictionary Reader can be used to read the wikipedia as well. Formatting is a lot better than with the leobueno reader - in fact it looks exactly like the original wikipedia. It also includes tables, math formulas and a few images wich show rendered content like the periodic table - all in the exact way it looks on your desktop.
Its also possible to load multiple dictionarys (e.g. more than one wikipedia language, wikiquotre and wiktionary) and search through all of them at the same time.
Converting xml-dumps is only possible with linux at the moment, but you can download converted versions in many languages directly from thir site.
You can get the free and open source .apk here.

i have no idea where to type: "wikiconvert "your downloaded and extracted xml file" -owiki_prefix_like_enwiki -n" to generate .lwk files, im on WinXP, do i put it in run or in command prompt?
Download pages-articles.xml.bz2 from "url" and extract the xml file using a compressor tool like 7zip.
Wikiconvert tool
uncompress this file in the same folder as the xml and type:
wikiconvert "your downloaded and extracted xml file" -owiki_prefix_like_enwiki -n
In some minutes you get some wiki_prefix_like_enwiki*.* files. Copy to the sdcard of your phone and run the wikipedia reader.
There is no problem having several wikipedias in your sdcard.
Edit: I got it to work! i downloaded a different wikiconvert zip which didn't contain the .exe file no wonder i cant execute to generate the lwks, all is good now

you get the wiki.tag file automatically after conversion using wikiconvert. Its better to run the batch file provided in the zip(only after editing the batch file so that the file names of the wikidump is consistent). I think u will get the wiki.tag file only if you use -n as given in the example:
wikiconvert "your downloaded and extracted xml file" -owiki_prefix_like_enwiki -n
Just tested this on the recent wikipedia dump. The wikiconvert executable crashes at 96.57% every time.
if you are using external sd card for storing the wikipedia then follow it here:
some Chinese Android phones have small internal storage, below than 2 gb mostly, if you want to store apps in External sd cards like this one. with English Wikipedia almost greater than 9GB you must store those files on external device & due to the android limitaion you can't install apps to external drives. you must install it to the internal phone memory or internal phone storage. to save it in external drive plz follow the steps.
1. install GL to SD app from the play store.
2. open it & click options then select move data to sd & select an app you want to move to sd.
3. now back, move the folder in which the converted wikipedia files are & copy it to your external sd card folder data/ & that apps folder which you have moved to sd via GL to SD app.
4 now open GL to SD click mount. & open the leo's wikipedia reader.
Make sure you have rooted phone & the wiki.tag file is copied to the root of external drive.
i have successfully done it with my Qmobile Noir A6 {Rooted}. {MediaTek Chipset} {Running Android 4.0 ICS}
i love fastwiki but that app mostly crashes all the time when you are searching articles. fast wiki has night mode & more options too. both are good try it & make a choice of your own. By the way its my 1st post in XDA forum. sorry for my bad English.

Move apps/games from internal sd card to external sd card using DIRECTORY BIND!!!!

XDA member Slig has created an application called Directory Bind which "binds" the two directories thus
making installation of HD games and apps of gigantic size easy. The app requires your phone to be rooted.
To get this application to work:
1. Make sure you are rooted.
2. Download Directory Bind and install the app using any file manager.
3. Create a folder in the external sdcard for the app/game data which you want to move. Name it
anything you can recognize it with.
4. By long tapping on the source and target fields, you can select the path from which you want to
move to the path to which you want the data to be moved. Source (data) path is the Location to
which you want your app/game data to be moved while target path is the Location at which the data
is currently present.
5. Make sure the Transfer files box is checked so that the files are automatically copied to the folder in
the external sdcard.
6. To select external sdcard, you will need to press "up" button at the bottom right of the screen, and
then tap on "mnt" to select whichever location you want.
7. This way you can move all your apps data to the external sdcard and enjoy rnore HD garnes by using
a external sdcard of large size .
If seem confusing to you, watch this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8PyqCOpERA

Ok..
Now before increasing memory i would tell you take a bckup of your apps.. You never what may go wrong.. You can use titanium backup for that..
There are two methods of increasing memory:
1, Through Mounts2sd app
2. Through script.
Personally i use scrip.. As it doesnt need any configuration.. and you can see the size in apps which can be seen in settings..
Mounts2sd requires configuration.
Make a backup of your card before partition as it will format your card
Now for partition:
Go to recovery
Go to advance
select partition sd card
Select ext3 or ext4
Select the size you want
Then select swap size 0
You have partition your card and it can be used to increase memory..
Now to install scripts:
You can check this post for script Here
As you are on class 4 use int2ext+ or int2ext(this may slow your apps closing and opening time)
Now copy the above script in system/etc/init.d
How to do:
Using File explorer with root permissions
I personally use es file explorer as i find it easy..
So open es explorer
Touch option key right of home key.
Go to tools-> Root explorer -> Click on off button it will ask for permission allow it-> now again tap on root explore-> select mount R/W set it from RO to RW
Now copy the script..
After copying select the file by long pressing on it-> Select properties Go to permissions-> Tick on all the check boxes all 9 not the bottom 3..
Now restart your device..
Vola!! Internel memory increased..
Thanks a lot. I will try tonight. Thanks a lot. Hope it works. :good:
Can you please provide me scripts download link? that post is too big..

FOR INT2EXT GET IT HERE
FOR INT2EXT+ GET IT HERE
OPEN THE ZIP THEN EXTRACT THE FILE FROM SYSTEM/ETC/INIT.D AND PASTE IT..
FLASHING WILL GIVE THE ERROR
Hit thanks if i helped you..
Hey thanks a lot man. It worked. Sorry to disturb you again, actually i have increased upto 1 gb. If i have to make to then, should i follow the same process? What should i do?
Thanks a lot.:good::good::good:

Then delete that partition..
For this you have to use partition wizard on your PC..
Connect your card to PC select both the drives delete them then create it again you will get the original size.. Go to recovery select 2048 instead of 1024 simple..
Hit thanks button buddy that is needed instead of saying.
