As taken from the thread in legend dev.
Shell script that does the overlay is made so it can use any (first) ext2/3 partition on your sdcard. That means you can use your a2sd partition for overlay too. If a2sd is not active but you still have ext2/3 partition on your sdcard, it will be mounted and used for overlay. If you don't have ext2/3 partition on your sdcard, then internal data partition will be used instead. In this case you will have to be careful not to fill it up entirely
a2sd script should run before the overlay script (only if you use a2sd)
i dont know how s2e works i only use built in apps2sd
as long as you have enough free ext3(no ext4) it should work it only uses what youve edited
eg u morph framework.res it only overlays that file
I didn't try it, I was just asking.

Read/Write instead of Read/Only
a pseudo S-off as the aria is S-on
read the thread linked for further explanation
S-OFF means that the NAND portion of the device is unlocked and can be written to. The default setting for HTC’s devices is S-ON, which means that neither can you access certain areas of the system nor can you guarantee a permanent root.
sorry...you beat me to it. :0
this is the closest we'll get to s-off unless it actually happens
its a fake s-off that has system files that youve edited load from the sd ext3 partition
updated 1st post as i forgot commands you NEED to run
haven't test it yet. Theoretically this can do pseudo modification of system files, but what will happen when I delete a system file? pseudo deleted, or restore to the original?

yes, you CAN resize the partitions usung for example gparted(from pc) as i use, instead of formatting it
Okay so is there a certain set of instructions I need to follow when formatting? And all I have to do is 1. have a formatted SD card and your kernel 2. Flash update.zip 3. Put phone into adb and do adb shell aufs --enable on the command prompt?
Signatures are fancy.
not really
yes you should be able to do aufs --enable on the terminal emulator on your phone
you need the newest version of my kernel as it adds support for aufs
Okay thank you will try tomorrow
Signatures are fancy.

As promised..
You need to obtain the new SPL and Radio first PRIOR to installing this ROM. Follow this post.
Installation:
1. Download http://www.droiddeveloper.com/hrbuilds/app_s.zip
2. extract "app_s" into your sdcard's ext2 partition.
3. Download http://www.droiddeveloper.com/hrbuilds/hero-signed.zip
4. Place on regular sd card.
5. Reboot into recovery, wipe and flash.
6. Enjoy.
Only thing that shouldn't work at the moment is bluetooth and some minor features.. besides that you have a fully functional hero rom.
enjoy guys..
Phuck the leakers, and there supporters.
EDIT: as far as the bluetooth problem goes, i haven't played with a fix just yet.. i've spent this free time since i've quit to catch up on homework guys.
this is not me coming back.... this is just to clear my conscience, and a big "Phuck YOU" to the leakers
EDIT2: it's using ext2 instead of ext3 because, again, i haven't worked on the rom since i've quit..
for those of you that don't know how to place app_s into sd card do this:
Code:
adb push app_s /system/sd/app_s
enjoy.
EDIT3: /system/app wouldn't fit.. and if i did /data/app_s like before, it wouldn't give you any space in /data this is why i did it this way.
and yes.. this has Rosie.

How you put App_s into the ext2 partition

EDIT:how do I put the app_s onto a ext2 partion via windows? I lost my linux live cd.
wich one do we download 1 or 3 ?
and thanks alot haykuro much love dawg thanks again
I dont use Apps2SD so can i just add the app_s back to the data folder and resign?
F!! Why does it have to be on an ext2? I cant get the permissions yo ork on my sdcard! Is there a way to avoid this?
And ps. Good god thank you!
If you dont, then wait for someone else to say how. This isn't a tech. It's apps2sd method or none right now.
@justanothercrowd no, this requires apps2sd because its so large.
@ynghova187 and dutman yes
So how would I go about on doing step 3? Srry I just unrooted my phone because it was randomly shutting off, and now I see this, and I want to root. lol.

Step 3 is simply downloading a file. Is that really what you need help with?
if i dont have apps to sd what links can i download any help i never used apps to sd

I can't help you with ADB, but if you are running a linux distribution, load GPartEd and you can format your card (if you havent already) and place it on the ext2 partition.
Thanks to JAC for telling me how to do it, and to Denkai for providing all the necessary parts.
This is a modified ap2sd.sh to auto run the linux-swap partition on boot.
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/bin/a2sd.sh
adb push /pathtofile/a2sd.sh /system/bin
adb reboot
this can be done in terminal too.
The file is attached.
NOTE: I HAVE ONLY TESTED THIS ON JACHERO2.3.2 use at your own risk.
Please reference this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=531988 to see what swap method I'm talking about.

I am using soulife's rogers with a modified a2sd and this would definitely put my phone in a boot loop.

Open terminal

If you want ill upload the rom i made for myself with a few customizations. It will do everything for you.
yes the third partition is linux swap and if i use denkai's method it works.
After a reboot the swap settings are lost and #free prints only 0 within swap.

Apps 2 Virtual Disk 0.53b
For those of you that are wondering "What is this guy smoking?" (which I assume is all of you), this is an automatically re-sizing virtual apps 2 SD ext3 partition. It is stored as an image file on your existing Fat32 partition.
I have done my best to make this as idiot proof and bug free as possible but I always appreciate constructive criticism. Please be kind, I haven't had access to a computer while writing this so it was written entirely on my G1. Therefore I expect that it will have a few bugs.
This barrows very heavily from Cyanogen's work so please thank him for making this possible.
Installing
To install the utility just download the file on your phone, open your terminal emulator and run:
Code:
su
sh /sdcard/download/a2vd-0.53b.zip
It does the rest.
Please note, this is NOT a zip file! It is a shell script. XDA won't let you post any file this big unless it's a zip file. (Can we get an Admin on this?) Good thing linux doesn't give a crap about file extensions.
Once you reboot your phone the utility will create the virtual partition, move over your apps, then re-size the partition to have 15 MB of free space. Please note, it will reboot 3 - 4 times during the first boot.
This should run on any rom that executes /system/bin/a2sd during boot.
It has been confirmed to work on Cyanogen 3.5.2 and higher.
Automatic Resizing
The partition will automatically re-size so you don't have to guess how big you need to make it. Now you can take a bite out of crime, in stead of your Fat32 partition. ;-)
If you run low on space just reboot your phone. If the free space on your virtual partition is less than 10 MB or more than 20 MB it will be re-sized to have 15 MB of free space. Please ignore the fact that free space may be listed as 13 or 14 MB, as far as I can tell this is an issue with the OS, the readout becomes more accurate as the partition gets bigger.
Disabling the Partition
If you wish to boot up with the Apps 2 Virtual Disk partition disabled simply open up your terminal emulator and run:
Code:
su
a2sdoff
You can also remove the SD card while the phone is off.
This is useful if you need to transfer files over USB cable.
Automatic backup
If you boot with the partition disabled the utility will backup some system settings so your apps and widgets will all still work when you re-enable the partition. It will also maintain a separate launcher profile for when you boot with the partition disabled. Now you don't have to stare at a desktop full of broken icons every time you need to transfer files to your computer.
Upgrading to a New Rom
Transitioning to a new rom can break some of your apps and widgets. To prevent this follow this procedure:
1. Place your new update.zip file on the root of your SD card.
2. Open terminal emulator and run:
Code:
su
a2sdoff -u
This will reboot your phone, prepare the backups, and take you to recovery.
3. Flash your new rom. (If you exit recovery without flashing you must re-run "a2sdoff -u" before attempting another flash)
4. Boot up your new rom, open terminal emulator and re-install Apps2VD.
Okay, you can start downloading now.
Thank you for your support and enjoy!
As a side note, If you install this on a phone that already has a traditional Apps2SD partition it will NOT copy over your apps. I'm working on it but until then you'll have to either just deal with it or copy them you self.
Edit: Download has been removed due to security concerns. Will re-upload when solved.

Performance is identical. The primary reason I built this is to have an automatically re-sizing apps partition. And the ability to boot disabled without breaking all of my widgets.

It seems suprising to me that an image file on a FAT32 partition would perform the exact same way as an ext partition. I guess I will have to find out for myself
If this really does work and perform well, this could be google's solution to allow non rooted phones the ability to free up memory on their phone.

Yes, it will. And it would probably have a similar problem on later Cyanogen builds. You will have to modify the a2sd file to tell it not to automatically create apps2sd.

It is supposed to reboot 3 - 4 times during the first boot.
this is really interesting, thank you for this. earlier today i made a modified a2sd script that makes the a2sd look for dev/block/mmcblk0p4 (fourth partition) and since there is none cyanogen's apps2sd will not be created. also in the file is a modified userinit.sh and user.conf that point to dev/block/mmcblk0p2 instead of 0p3 so that if you wanted to use this and only have a fat32 partition and linux-swap partition you could still get the benefits of it. saw this thread and thought this would be a place where these files could be used.
edit: was just thinking, does this overwrite the a2sd script? either way the modded userinit.sh and user.conf can still help.

Yes this does replace /system/bin/a2sd and it stops checking for 0p2. It is based entirely off Cyanogen's a2sd that is used in every new rom out there and should be compatible with all of them.
Has anyone tested this yet? Which roms does it work on?
How does this work with mounting your phone on your computer? Like when you want to put music on. Can you do it the same way or do you have to shut your phone down and use a SDcard reader? Because I thought the was the main reason for not using fat32 for A2SD.

I know Bake Snack said it was as easy as doing it thru ClockworkMod, and selecting 512mb partition, then selecting OM for swap. But for some reason I have a feeling that it's only a EXT2 partition.

EDIT: Also, I do know you have to upgrade to EXT4, and if thats all I gotta do then I need to know how to do that, plezzzzzz.....
well in regular linux world, you format filesystems with mkfs, just typing 'mount' into the command like should yield what file systems are mounted, what fs they are and where they are mounted. So to format your sda1, you would 'mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1'. whether this works the same way in android its hard to say. good luck!
its actually ext 3, you can check this by running the a2sd check in terminal... pretty sure their is no way for ext 4 as of right now.

Swap isn't the same as a2sd, it's basically a drive-space extention of ram, not sure if android can use swap like linux can?
As far as telling if it worked, "ls -l /data" (no " ") and you should see something like "app -> /system/sd" on one of the lines.

When you started the pertitioning process, you chose a 512mb partition size, then you were supposed to choose "OM" for swap size which in turn means that you arent choosing a swap size. So at the end of Terminal Elu's script run, you see'ing " swap partition not found " is normal.... I know that when I installed A2sd, my terminal said the same as yours did. But I do know that it IS working cuz I got Root Explorer and found where my apps are going cuz once you download them from the Market, they dont show up in your apps drawer until you re-boot your phone.....

BOOST MOBILE ONLY K2_CL
https://db.tt/nRbob3sP
I've found and mod a file by simonsimons34 that you add to /system/etc/init.d that will bind(merge) your phone storage with internal sd
If you kernel supports it
This is what I used to add init.d
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.init.d_installer
Download this file and put it in your init.d folder and set permissions to rwx r-x r-x.
This bind(merge) your internal sd and phone storage.
K2_U & K2_UL ONLY
https://db.tt/vLu7IK5k
download this file and place it in your
init.d folder AND TAKE THE 'K2_UK2_UL' OFF THE END OF THE NAME
it should look like this
99binddata
And set permissions to rwx r-x r-x
And reboot.

Yes you need busy box
And screen shot only shows calculating.....

Yes you need busy box
And screen shot only shows calculating.....
I think some form of edited vold.fstab is needed to actually show the bind.
I think?

Actually, I think there's a big error here... the bind options doesn't merge two devices (of different filesystem, most of all).
What the bind option does, is to allow the mount of a device in more than one location, so what you'll have using this script is to see your internal sd partition mounted as data partition, which could be very dangerous! Casue you'll have a fat32 filsystem mounted in a place where android expects an ext filesystem.
there are ways to merge filesystems (like unionfs), but I don't think there's an android implementation... and are quite unstables at current stage of development
you shouldn't risk to brick your phone, at most you could end by wiping your system partition and reinstall your rom if your phone shouldn't boot anymore though I'd be very surprised if this would work o.o
don't mess things too much!

Also, this is information is good, thank you for your post.
I always try and verify mods and/or scripts before posting.
That means, I am running this script right now and have been since last night and I don't have any issues at all. I would never post something that I haven't tried for myself.
And to prove is working, if anybody has an app that they have tried downloading but had the 'not enough space' error, post it here and I will download it.

I'm sorry, I didn't meant to offend you.
What I said is that this will hardly merge two filesystems.
If you have a total of about 8gb of internal storage, then I'm wrong
But, most likely, you'll only have your sdcard mounted as data partition, which might give some problems.
I'm downloading modern combat 4 right now, and if it installs correctly that means this is working. It is 1.92 gb in size and you can see from the screen sit that I only have 1.14 gb of space and 886mb available shown but I have this script running so..... We'll see.
Ps I'm not taking offence at all, it's healthy to object something if its not proven.

I just realized, I made a big mistake... I always thought that we had 4gb of dedicated data storage and most of it was eaten by sense stuff... Looking at the partition table right now, I see we only have 1gb of data storage o.o
Which means this script is actually useful, cause will make use the 4gb of internal sdcard, instead of our 1 gb of data!!!!
Seems like is working!
Question about boost mobile version

K2_U & K2_UL ONLY
https://db.tt/vLu7IK5k
download this file and place it in your
init.d folder AND TAKE THE 'K2_UK2_UL' OFF THE END OF THE NAME
it should look like this
99binddata
And set permissions to rwx r-x r-x
And reboot.

Look at post #12
It downloaded and installed, and plays smooth as ever.
So the extra data doesn't show up in settings correct?

Hi ive got a UK HTC One SV LTE unlocked and i believe it is the k2ul version, is this mod compatible with the phone or is it boost only?? will it work with stock kernel or will i have to have a custom kernel to get this to work? and is this mod different to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46524538#post46524538 ?? this thread says bind and that one is a swap one?? im confused
