HOWTO: Automated APPS to SD (EASY!!!!)

NOTE:
1. Must have a rooted phone
2. Must have two partitions on the sd card (fat32 for everything, and ext2 for "expanding" the phone's memory).
3. Must have Android SDK installed (so that adb will work)
Ok.. So I got sick of all the commands running back and forth. I found that I'm wiping my phone several times testing out new things and didn't want to continuously put in all these commands to get the apps to sd thing to work.
Therefore, I created a file to automatically do it for me!!! I just run this file with the usb connected to the phone, and let it run all the commands.
I've attached a file "tmp.zip". Download this file and extract it to your c:
The folder it extracts NEEDS to be at c:/tmp
After extracting, navigate to the folder and double click on "appsToSD1.bat". Follow the instructions and you'll be on your way.
I hope this helps!!!!

EXCELLENT!!! I have already set my apps to sd... but I always welcome alternatives. Good work. I can't wait to try it out some time.
Thanks!

looking at the bat, it looks just like the commands from that other thread. Any1 game to try and share if it it works =]?

Nice, I might finally try this when I get home today...

Anyone try this out yet?

Just tried it
Failure, after last reboot i am stuck at the flashing android loader.
I did verify i was all the stuff the bat file said to look for

Ive been struggling with this for three days, using paragon how exactly do you partition a card it says mines has been partitioned and showes the ext2 and the fat32 both as being primary but It wont show on busybox as my previous post above states, from there how do I go on to complete apps on sd card, it just aint working for me Im getting frustrated

Since ext2 is a linux partition I would use a Live Ubunut CD to partition the card. This is the safest bet.

I have read how people do it through paragon Id rather not download a 700mb file just to format my card, but thanks for the suggestion.

If you have a good net connection it will download in 10-15 minutes. Worth the time knowing that method works
Also, having a Live CD is a good troubleshooting tool for future issues.

More than likely because you didn't have the partitions on SD correct. READ THE NOTE FIRST!
I think you're going to have to clear the phone. You might even need to re-install an update.

Nope, I'm not seeing a "/system/sd" partition on your phone.

Don't know how easy using LiveCD Ubuntu is... but there's no way it's easier than Paragon Partitioner...
I dl'ed it, Personal Trial version.
Inserted my G1 via USB.
Create partition.
Select sd card.
Choose size.
DONE!
That's it. Voila. Sd card partitioned into 2 parts.

I ended up having to use Ubuntu. I'm not sure why, I installed Paragon on my work computer (new, running Vista x64) and it couldn't create the partitions correctly... kept on giving me some error. I think it had something to do with mounting... So I thought maybe it's because I was on an x64. Took it home to my laptop running Windows XP and had the same problem. I finally got tired of it and got Ubuntu who worked like a charm

Yep, Ubuntu will work every time. Since EXT2 is a linux format, having Windows create it is a mixed bag. I tried creating windows partitions on my Mac awhile back and it was a disaster.

[Q] Where's the mount point for the root file system?

On my G1, I know that the internal flash memory is divided into several partitions used by the system. Running the busybox shell on a terminal emulator on the phone or through adb, I can run df and get the following:
Code:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
tmpfs 48852 0 48852 0% /dev
tmpfs 48852 0 48852 0% /mnt/asec
/dev/block/mtdblock3 92160 89048 3112 97% /system
/dev/block/mtdblock5 91904 77792 14112 85% /data
/dev/block/loop0 4096 4096 0 100% /system/xbin
/dev/block/mtdblock4 30720 1160 29560 4% /cache
/dev/block/vold/179:1
15541688 12742232 2799456 82% /mnt/sdcard
/dev/block/vold/179:1
15541688 12742232 2799456 82% /mnt/secure/asec
But strangely there's no mount point for /, the root file system. Yet there are lot of other files and directories directly in the root file system, like init scripts. Could anyone explain to me how this is? Is the root file system hidden somehow from df?

DISCONTINUED [MOD][AD2SDX][ALPHA02] SD-EXT Mod[OCT-20]

BACKGROUND
After many time I stressful with Low Disk Space when Installing many Applications, or Slow Performance when Installing Data2sd or dalvik-cache to SD. I came up with some simple Idea to make my phone have big Internal Memory Storage, yet still robust in performance.

Introducing....
AD2SDX - AMARULLZ DATA TO SD-EXT
by amarullz [at] yahoo [dot] com
* Oct 20 2011 (ALPHA02) - Update Compatibility
* Oct 19 2011 (ALPHA01)
WHAT IS IT??
This mod will move all Internal Memory (data) into sd-ext, "but not like data2ext", this mod will maintain the performance, because it still place dalvik-cache and system application data in Internal Memory.
HOW IT WORK??
The script will do this in the first boot:
Move Mounting Internal Memory (/data) Into /sd-ext
Mount SDCard-Ext (mmcblk0p2) partition into /data
Create dalvik-cache directory in Internal Memory data (/sd-ext), and symlink it to mmcblk0p2 (/data)
Create data directory in mmcblk0p2 (/data) And symlink it into Internal Memory data (/sd-ext)
Create symlink of app, app-private, app_s and lib_s from mmcblk0p2 (/data) to Internal memory data (/sd-ext)
Create symlink for all non-symllink of Internal Memory data (/sd-ext) into mmcblk0p2 (/data)
After Initializing Setup (First Boot), reboot the system (Just reboot, don't go into recovery), the mod will automatically do this following:
Create data_s in Internal Memory data (/sd-ext)
Move All mmcblk0p2(/data)/data/com.htc* and com.android* into Internal Memory data(/sd-ext)/data_s
Create symlink all files/directory from Internal Memory data (/sd-ext)/data_s/* into mmcblk0p2(/data)/data/ So the System Application Data still read into Internal memory, but rest Application Data will read Into SDCard.

INSTALLATION
For now, use adb shell and Install it manually, I am android newbie , still unfamiliar with recovery zip installer.
Delete Any A2SD Script in /system/etc/init.d ( common name was 40a2sd )
Copy 40ad2sdx into /system/etc/init.d Don't forget to chmod 755/777 it
Reboot ( 2x optional )
INSTALLATION WITH ADB IN RECOVERY MODE
Code:
C:\>adb shell
# mount /system
# exit
C:\>adb push 40ad2sdx /system/etc/init.d/
C:\>adb shell
# cd /system/etc/init.d
# rm 40a2sd
# chmod 755 40ad2sdx
# cd /
# umount /system
# exit
C:\>
NOTE: the "rm 40a2sd" should be the name of app2sd init.d file.
NOTE
If you install it after clean flash you need to reboot your phone at the 1st boot to activate System App Data on Internal Memory.
CAUTION!!!
YOU SHOULD UNZIP AND MANUALY COPY THE FILE INTO /system/etc/init.d/ - THE ZIP FILE WASN'T AUTO INSTALLER THAT CAN BE RUN IN RECOVERY!!!!
WARNING!!!
THIS MOD ONLY IN TEST STAGE, ONLY ADVANCE USER I SUGGEST TO TRY THIS SCRIPT.
I DON'T TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU BROKE/BOOTLOOPS YOUR SYSTEM/ROM/PHONE.​
TESTED-DEVICE / ROM
HTC Desire (Bravo)
- Cool3D RunnyMede Sense 3.5 v2, v3
- Cool3D AceS Sense 3.0 v3, v4
If You Already Test it and works,.. Please send me a feedback in your comment...

Titanium Backup - Restore the Application Data ( com.android*/com.htc* data )

NOT WORK ON YOUR ROM?, DON'T WORRY I WILL HELP YOU
This script (AD2SDX) alghoritm should be compatible in any android phone that support init.d, busybox and rooted, but it still depended on how the ROM place the files in your phone.
To make this script compatible with more ROM+PHONE, you can send me your file system information with this sh script (also available in attachment to download):
Code:

HOW TO DUMP?
You should use adb, or Script Manager as root
Copy ad2sdx-dumpinfo.sh into your /sdcard/
(for ADB): Run "sh ad2sdx-dumpinfo.sh" in adb shell
Copy "/sdcard/ad2sdx-dump.txt" from your phone to your pc ( If you not trust me, you can review it before you send it to me )
Post comments + content of "/sdcard/ad2sdx-dump.txt" in this thread "use CODE or attachment"
COPY FILES WITH ADB
From PC to Phone
Code:
adb push c:\ad2sdx-dumpinfo.sh /sdcard/
From Phone to PC
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/ad2sdx-dump.txt c:\ad2sdx-dump.txt
SHELL
Code:
adb shell
* You are more advance than me about it ...
WARNING!!!
This script WILL dump an Informations About your Storages,
If you allow me to know your filesystem structures,
maybe I can help to improve AD2SDX Compatibility...
This script WILL NOT dump any PHONE NUMBER, IMEI, DEVICE NAME
SERIAL NUMBER and ANY PERSONAL INFORMATIONS...
USE IT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
But Please provide me your Device Name and ROM when you
submit it on AD2SDX Thread...​

Great!!!
Working with Leo on HyperDroid-CM7-v5.3.0.
But weired behavior: Titanium Backup crashes after every app installation immediately.
Edit: After third reboot Titanium doesn't crash any more!
This script runs like hell....wow!
---------- Post added at 07:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:36 PM ----------
Strange...Titanium only crashes if I try to install apps+data...but not if I only install apps.

Waiting to install, want to see a few more guinea pigs first

It mount only ext4 partition?...
Can you add support for ext2 or ext3 partitions?

Ok, I evaluate first on my sga with xm7.1
Nice to see you again amarullz.

EXT3,2 ??
You can edit this line:
Code:
busybox mount -t ext4 -o noauto_da_alloc,data=ordered,commit=15,barrier=1,nouser_xattr,errors=continue,noatime,nodiratime,nosuid,nodev /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data;
busybox chown 1000:1000 /data;
busybox chmod 771 /data;

Ok, I will try, and look what Titanium Backup Do (may be the error occur when it remove/change com.android* or com.htc* data files)...
-- TIPS --
May Be try this: If you want to restore system applications data (com.android* & com.htc*), Do that in the first boot (clean flash), so the com.android* & com.htc* still in sdcard (not symlinked), after you reboot it, the mod will automatically move it to Internal Memory...

What ROM & Device?... make sure you do the clean flash, then delete a2sd first

I am using a sense froyo rom 2.38 with kernel infinity on my device and I did a clean flash my device is wildfire even replace the ext4 to ext3 as you be explained in a above post and still the same problem

Hi Amarullz
To my understanding this is simply exchange the sd-ext becomes data partition and data partition now becomes sd-ext.
The script will move all sd-ext contents to data partition and data partition contents will mve to sd-ext. This will limit the size of sd-ext contents (not the size of sd-ext) max at data partition size. When the size of sd-ext contents is more than data partition size, the phone will not boot pass the splash screen or maybe bootloop.
Is there anyway we can mod the script to move only specific folders on sd-ext to data partition ? For example I have app_s, lib_s, frameworks_s and font_s but I want to move only app_s & lib_s to data partition and leave the rest on the sd-ext. I am totally a noob when it comes to scripting.

No, I don't move all sd-ext data into /data partition. Actually:
1. Move "mount point" of /data to /sd-ext
2. Mount mmcblk0p2 (commonly mounted on /sd-ext) to /data
All Data remain on mmcblk0p2 but symlinked to /sd-ext for app2sd compatibility except for com.android*, com.htc* and dalvik-cache.
But I know it may not work on all device/rom yet ( still need to fix compatibility ), because something like this maybe happened:
My Script blacklisted "app, app_s, lib_s, app-private, data" in Internal Storage (will move it into mmcblk0p2), If ROM used another directory name, example for app_s is .systemapp, system won't boot, because /system/app symlinked to /sd-ext/.systemapp and there is no /sd-ext/.systemapp because the /sd-ext was originally (/data) [ /system/app should be pointed to /data/.systemapp or /sd-ext/.systemapp pointed to /data/.systemapp ] - Understand what I mean? .
This area on script will strict the "app, app_s, lib_s, app-private, data" into mmcblk0p2 ( in original data only symlink )
Code:
###
# app, app_s, lib_s, app-private, data : should in /data (mmcblk0p2)
###
for i in app app_s lib_s app-private data;
do
#-- If Symlink in /data, delete it
if [ -h /data/$i ]
then
busybox rm /data/$i;
fi;
#-- If Directory Exists in /sd-ext, move it to /data
if [ -d /sd-ext/$i ]
then
busybox mv /sd-ext/$i /data/;
fi;
#-- If Directory Not Extst in /data, create it
if [ ! -d /data/$i ]
then
busybox mkdir /data/$i;
#-- Just Open All Permissions ;)
busybox chmod 0777 /data/$i;
fi;
#-- Now Create Symlink From /sd-ext to /data
if [ ! -h /sd-ext/$i ]
then
busybox ln -s /data/$i /sd-ext/$i;
fi;
done;
And this area will strict "dalvik-cache" in Internal Memory
Code:
for i in dalvik-cache;
do
#-- If Symlink in /data, delete it
if [ -h /sd-ext/$i ]
then
busybox rm /sd-ext/$i;
fi;
#-- If Directory Exists in /sd-ext, move it to /data
if [ -d /data/$i ]
then
busybox mv /data/$i /sd-ext/;
fi;
#-- If Directory Not Extst in /data, create it
if [ ! -d /sd-ext/$i ]
then
busybox mkdir /sd-ext/$i;
#-- Just Open All Permissions ;)
busybox chmod 0777 /sd-ext/$i;
fi;
#-- Now Create Symlink From /sd-ext to /data
if [ ! -h /data/$i ]
then
busybox ln -s /sd-ext/$i /data/$i;
fi;
done;
You can modify this line for your needs:
for i in app app_s lib_s app-private data;
for i in dalvik-cache;
UPDATE ALPHA 02, WITH Compatibility Fix, Add strict framework_s into mmcblk0p2, + dot files fix (.systemapp)

492 free space on internal memory!
I tried this mod on RunnyMede V3 (with coolexes move dalvik to sd script) on a working system (didn't install from scratch) and it works.
Some "problems" I noticed:
- After restart had to resync everything, from contacts, Calendar to fb shortcuts in contacts
- All htc widgets on homescreens were gone (inclusive clock)
- the biggest one: there are no more shortcuts on lockscreen. Try to get them back from personalisation menu, no chance!
I think it should be tried with fresh install. Maybe if I'll find the time I'll try it.
Anyway. Thanks for the script and keep up the work!

flash it from recovery!!!!
Amarullz plz could you make it to flash it from recovery??? PLz it will be gourgeos!!!

Try clean flash, I not test it on already running system yet.
About zip install on recovery... I will learn it first... cause I am newbie in Android

On Blissy mod007 Rom fresh install with stock hboot i have 123 mb internal memory, then with root explorer i erase 40a2sd from system/etc/init.d and i copy you`re 40a2sdx and reboot.After reboot i have 751 mb free space on internal memory, but no icons on lockscreen and no widgets at all!!!
Appreciate a lot you`re work man!!!TNX a lot!!

!!!WARNING!!!
INSTALL IT ON YOUR OWN RISK.

Hey,
this is a very nice and good script..much faster as data2ext with sense 3.5 roms..
i have only one problem..i get a wifi error with this script..(tried on 2 different roms...also the same if i change the file in rom.zip and flash it)
Maybe you have a tip for me..?!? (because its strange..not get this error with data2ext or a2sd)
otherwise really good work
with kind regards...Alex

[Q] Messed up Busybox

Hello,
I am unable to install busybox
it says that "it looks like the installation of busybox was not successful.." and asks to install in some other location.
I tried Xbin and Bin but it could not be installed properly.
All app which need root permission are working fine.
I tried to uninstall and re install ..re install using busybox installer.
Also I re-flash CM 10 beta 6 ( Format /System ) deleted xbin , bin directory and reflashed rom) but nothing works
Its confusing that even after deleting xbin, bin directory formatting /system reflashing CM10 yet busybox is not installing.
PS: Busybox was installed successfully on stock ROM it was for a brief period was installed successfully on CM 10 as well. But when I reflash my rom (due to some reason) and tried to install busybox since then I am having problems
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Htc? if so then: S-off?
Check the space on the /system partition.
Do you have read and write permissions for root on /system/xbin?
Deleting xbin and bin will make you unable to install busybox for sure.
What application are you using to install busybox?
Run the commands below on your phone or through adb.
Code:
su
df
chmod /system/xbin/
chown 0:0 /system/xbin/
ls -l /system

Htc? if so then: S-off?
Check the space on the /system partition.
Do you have read and write permissions for root on /system/xbin?
Deleting xbin and bin will make you unable to install busybox for sure.
What application are you using to install busybox?
Run the commands below on your phone or through adb.
Code:
su
df
chmod /system/xbin/
chown 0:0 /system/xbin/
ls -l /system

Yes HTC - S-off rooted and running on CM10
I have tried busybox Stephen (Stericson) latest version
and when it was not getting installed I have trued busybox installer as well
while installing /system/xbin has R/W permission
I deleted files in xbin as coz I didnt know what to do .. I deleted only those files which were created by busybox and then I immediately flashed the ROM, but even after flashing (and wiping /system through cwm) those files were still there.
Here is the output:
/system/xbin mounted as R/W as usual

Ok, it looks like your system partition does not have enough space on this rom.
Please remove some unneeded system apps with something like titanium backup to make /system space.
Looks like we are making progress.

Space missing after DotOS installing

Recently I installed DotOS on my Samsung SM-J320F. All good but internal space was reduced. This phone have 8 GB but I receive this when I run df:
~ # ←[6ndf
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
tmpfs 696068 204 695864 0% /dev
tmpfs 696068 28 696040 0% /tmp

/dev/block/mmcblk1p1 24862304 13880880 10981424 56% /extSdCard
~ # ←[6n
Also Windows says I have only 4.79GB
How can I recover 3GB of space?

No one know to solve my problem ?
