hi guys / gals
i am using the big storage
as soon as i hard reset ... all the files of the ext rom that i have personally selected get installed one by one automatically !
just like when i used to have the ext rom !!
i have been using the following method for quiet a while now and am quiet surprised that many dont know about it !
this is TOTALLY the product of a very talented developer called ..TOENAILED (thanks man )
steps :
1) create a zipped file containing all the cab files of the extrom and any other if u want like resco , etc and name this .. ExtROM (please name exactly like this)
2) make a normal folder and name it 2577 and put the zipped file into it along with the "autorun" file i am posting here (so there r 2 files in the folder)
3)put this folder into yr sd card
4)hard reset .... and .... enjoy seeing the installation of the files as if u had an ext rom !!
and then go to the "memory" settings and see the 27mb and enjoy "not having" the ext rom !! Shocked
How about just applying the storage hack real-time, without installing any of those CAB's? I don't like them taking up my preciousssss space :wink:
Anyway, can you upload this file to the ftp?
ftp://xdaupload:[email protected]/Magician/
Cause the file doesn't appear to be downloadable anymore, i'd like to give it a try, thanks!
well thats a personal choice !
those files dont take up much if any of yr precious space
but
saves u the trouble of installing some of the small but very good utilities in the form of cab files like .. tray launch , psShutxp and some of the files form the ext rom
anyways
i have updated the file above and its working now
ps . even after installing all the files of the ext rom and a few extra and that too automatically after hard reset ... i still get 15+ in the both storage and programs sections on the memory slider 8)
please rename the autorun file exactly like this ... autoRUn

Hi,
since I'm running REALLY LOW at internal storage I tinker with the idea of putting some apps to storage card. Thus I'm wondering what if I reflashed my Herald someday. Will I have to reinstall those apps as well or will I be able start them right from SD? What about the app's [email protected] Windows folder?!
Cheers
Hello
If you decide to do a hard reset, then you must reinstall all the programs in SD ..
Whenever you change ROM or you make a hard reset, you'll need to reinstall all CAB
It depends on whether the CAB installs files to different locations, and whether the CAB contains registry entries. Check your CAB file using MSCEINF to see if it copies files to the windows folder and if it has registry entries. Also check the [DefaultInstall] section of the .inf file for the entry 'SelfRegisterDll'. If your CAB file contains any of these things then you'll have to reinstall it after a hard reset.
A large percentage of CABs only contain a single file with no registry entrys and would not have to be reinstalled after a hard reset.

Hi J03M4N,
With your help (Thanks) there is a new version for MSCEInf (version 2.6) :
Contributions of version 2.6
• Backslash added in rebuilt Inf file, at item [SourceDisksNames], if specified folder has not one at the beginning.
• Due to a bug in new version of mshtml.dll in Internet Explorer 8 Beta for drawing a background image in ListView, I have taken away the background image in the Open Cab Dialog Box.
• There is now a new column in the tab "Folders", with real values written in the CAB without transformation of %CExx%.
Download links in my signature.
not all apps have to be reinstalled. even apps which require registry keys might write them when you run the app from the SD card without installing it.
but remember that not all apps can be installed on the SD card..
Which can't? Any specific ones?
Cheers
i can't name you all the apps which can't
some can, some can't.
for instance, you can't install iGO8 on your storage card...
just install the app on your device and choose Storage Card... (which doesn't always appear as an option)... you can check after installing if it installed on your card or not.
max, uninstall.
if you have installed to your storage card you can just put links to them in the windows\startmenu\ folder
theres an app for that

move to ext4
i have moved all to ext4
Hello guys,
I have a small question. It is maybe a silly one but I can't find the answer.
I have Copilot Live 8 installed (so 2 folders on my SD card: 'copilot' and '2577').
Everytime I flash my ROM, Copilot tries to auto-install itself, but fails (via autorun in the 2577 folder).
So everytime, I have to connect my HD2 to my PC and replace the 2577 folder with the original one. And only then it works.
But how can I avoid to connect my ppc to my PC and replace 2577.
There should be another way, an easiest way, right?
Many thanks for your assistance
Had the same problem
Just delete the 2577 folder form the sd card & keep the copilot cab elsewhere on the card.
After rom flash just install the cab: select sd card as location everytime, that way all your previous settings, poi's etc remain.
Now I wish I didn't have to reenter the license key after each flash
Edit: the 2577 folder is not needed. its the copilot folder that's important & the cab
Thank you Harry for your kind answer.
Actually I am sure there should be an easiest way....
For instance, when I just replace the 2577 folder (which means I have to connect to my PC ) I don't have to enter the license key again.
At least, not to have to enter the license key is a good point.
PS: Maybe a solution would consist to save the original 2577 folder somewhere else on the SD card, and replace the former one with it after a flash. But I don't know if it will work. Also it wastes some memory space.
I really do not understand why Copilot's Autorun cannot do the job
how to desinstall complitely the original copilot?
how to uninstall completely the original copilot?
thanks

can you explain to us step by step
hi again
i have xda orbit2 pola200 ..
first i install 2.6.25 then i put my sd card in pc with card reader
then i make partitions i have 4gb class 4 if u use class 6 then its more good ..
i make my partition like this fat32 is 2.8gb and ext2 is 300mb and second is 600mb and swap lanx is 100mb ... i use partition for paragon its good and easy ..

i try to do like you .
system on nand,data on sd
but it's so slow!
i just fell it's slower than both on sd.
I have tried to partition my SDcard.but its slower than install the android to a IMG file.It's so strange.can you tell me why?
hi buddy
thanks .. well i tell you what i did ... my use atools and i make my phone 450mhz and i also use swapper 2 its good and its 64mb ... its work fine ,,, but in first 20 mins its work slow after its work nice ... bcos every thing save in sd , data ,setting,etc.. i play fifa 10 and caligocha ,3d homebattle its work nice ... but first time its work slow after its 1mins its work fast ....oh u need one thing more which make ur phone more fast ... its ADWlauncher ex .. its very good ...
and can u tell me which sd card u r using ?
What is the problem with partitions?
If you divide the sd in several part you will have partitions.
First partition is in fat32 and you can't install system on it.

I'm just wondering why install system on a EXT2 partition is slower than on fat32.
I tried many times,but fat32 is always faster than EXT2.
This is very strange.
And,i flash your latest NBH file which release in the January 13.
I meet some problems.
it stop at
"install modules to kernel"
"to sourceforge"
How to solve the problem?i never meet in the past.
thank you !

i use a 4GB class4 card,
of course,it will become fast after a few minutes.
but FAT32 is truely faster than EXT2.
I don't know why.
I always think running system on a virtual partition(IMG file) is slower than a real EXT2 partition.
But maybe I was wrong.
the image on disk should be slower so it's a bit strange.
You forgot to install modules (look in atools mixer or in this thread)

Thx!
I have read the post,but i don't found that what i should do.
please tell me what should i do ,thank you !
And,i have another problem,
I usually lost data,when NAND.
when android is crash,i push the Reset hole,
Than,I may not enter the system,get a lot of FC when see the desktop,or found that some software is lost.
Do you have this problem?
um..can you understand what i am talking about?
my english is so poor,Please forgive me
Can you upload all files i need for it and explain i got pola 200 to, and wonna try it, if that isnt to much work for you thx
@我是春哥: the loss data problem is now the big problem and there is one developer who is working on it.
in order to fix "install module" download the androidupdate.tgz from the thread (or sourceforge)
put it in /andboot (sdcard)
go to atools (bse) select your sys location and select apply update.
save the install-seq.sh
put it in /anboot
insert the sdcard in the phone
boot the phone.
OR
put it in /andboot (sdcard)
insert the sdcard in the phone
boot the phone
press dpad
on menu select apply update
and then quit

thank you!
Before the problem be solved,i would not flash the android to nand.
I hope you can solve this problem，
Thank you for all you hard work!
why i intall system on nand bcos its safe and we dont loss our system file and its good otherwise our systam is crash and its not good things .... well my advise is this we use systam on nand its make ours android fast and safe and data on install on sd card what ever u like its img or ext2 its all up to you ... but its all safe what i say ,, bcos i test too much .... bcos when our systam android is crash its crash all things ,,, i hope u all understand ... fast boot is slow but in two or 3 boot its faster ... but remumber one thing how much we install games and software its make android havay ... i prefrar to 2.6.25 kernel ... bcos i play games and software its work fast ,.,, thanks you to all .. who try this ...
Guys im tired of using the sdcard to install android to my polaris as i always erase the andboot folder after everything so as to save space. I know you'd say "what space its a small file" yes but i just wanna know how to flash it comfortably to my NAND thru my PC USB connection like flashing roms with the upgrade utility. Thanks!!!
you are ridiculs but:
download customRUU.exe
copy the nbh file in the customRUU.exe dir
all the other files can't be flashed directly (the androidinstall.tgz must be in andboot folder)
lol thanks master l1q1d for the super response. actually i was dying to flash the android on my polaris immediately after my SD card broke. I had to install it thru usb since i have no sdcard. lll try that now.
i was actually looking for a way to copy the andboot folder to the phone memory after NBH flash, but im not sure that the phone memory has less memory to contain the boot files and the installation thereafter. I lost my sdcard and would wanna make the automation work without it. could this be possible? Thanks again.
No, you can't do it.
That does it. IT wont be. thanks

CM stores dalvik cache for all system apps in /cache/dalvik-cache instead of /data/dalvik-cache.
Flash mounts2sd.zip from this thread (the first one).

if you want to move dalvik cache for more internal space then i dont recommend you on doing that..it slows the phone doen (unless you have class 6/10 memory card)..i suggest you use int2xt+ ...for me its the best out there!!

Is it possible to provide more explanation , good friend ?
1st important issue for me is count of applications that I can installed on my Explorer. Because I am a programmer.
speed is in 2nd place.
but your method is interesting for me. plz explain more I LOVE LEARNING

I'll pm you!
or i will just put it here only..
so basically what it does is that it mounts /sd-ext to /data and leaves application data in internal storage for speed..
im assuming you already know about ext partition and you have partitioned your sd card!! (if you haven't then tell me)
if you want to implement int2ext+ in a rom then download the script from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716124
extract it..now download the zip of rom you want to use and make a copy of it somwhere else in your hard disk and open it through winrar..remember do not extract it..navigate to /system/etc/int.d in winrar only and delete all everything in the folder and drag and drop the file you extracted from int2xt+ zip..it will do some working and when its finished just close it...flash this modified zip..and you will see internal memory increased in storage (150mb+the size of ext partition u have made)
EDIT:
It may happen that your rom doesn't boot ..so you make another copy of the original rom and repeat the whole procedure except that dont delete anything in init.d folder..
for example i deleted all files from init.d in cm9.1 build#9 (i dont know what will happen if i dont) and it works..i remember that i deleted all files in evervolv but it didnt boot so i copied without deleting and it booted perfectly!!
i m switch to cm9 build8 rom from jaggy,,,so need sum info.

Oh switching sd cards can be pain in the ass.. Anyway make a partition on ur new sd card (same partition u made on ur old card) make a nandroid backup with your old sd card inserted in mobile.. This makes backup of your sd-ext partition (of course ).. Now copy the whole folder (clockworkmod folder if u are using Cwm and TWRP folder if u are using touch recovery) to your new sd card using your pc or lappy.. Be sure that your phone is switched off or in recovery mode while you are switching cards.. Now when you have copied the backup(s) to your new sd card, insert it in your phone and restore sd-ext part only.. If that doesn't work then full wipe your phone and do a full restore!! Rest of the things in your memory card you will have to copy manually through pc or you can dump your data in cloud and download when new sd card inserted..!

3.for contact syncing fb apps itself supports it.. But I use fb contact sync app for it.. It's awesome if you want their pics to be shown in conyacts.. If you want to sync birthdays you can add your fb calender to Google calendar (if you don’t know how to do dat tell me) your Google calendar is automatically synced with ics stock calendar.
