The theory
ClassicalDude said:
Premise:
1. Performance degradation with HD roms (and regular ones as well) occur when essential parts of the device's operation are from the sd card, instead of working as much as possible from the internal memory.
2. Deodexed roms render a substantial part of the /system partition into a bloated archive, since no apk or jar file is actually used. Everything is odexed and copied into the dalvik-cache, which leads to -
3. The dalvik-cache of a deodexed rom is much larger than that of an odexed rom. So now we have large portions of the system partition that are not used, and a clogged data partition.
4. So we use a2sd, a2sd+, d2ext or d2we - and essentially, what we get is that almost nothing is being run from the internal memory. What a waste.

If this is true, only intensive testing will reveal. So lets give it a shot.
1st things 1st, you need to flash Bravo CM7 Hboot. either from fastboot or from hboot.- goto alpharev.nl site - is there together with all the info how to flash it
Rom Download link:
http://baadnewz.lcdc.sk/InsertCoinDATAplusplus/
Rom is the same as InsertCoin 2.0.0 A2SD+. But edited to fit to 130 nand, you'll need 1 gb ext2/3/4 partition.
P.S. framework folder lies under /system/sd/framework so you CANT flash zips directly from UOT, get the zip unpack it and push the framework-res.apk to /system/sd/framework
(you should know this if your a poweruser)
Free space after 1st boot

I don't want to be misunderstood, I don't have a problem with noobs, we all were noobs once. But i mentioned this before, since you are flashing a hboot, if you are not an advanced user stay away. or 1st understand what you are doing, don't just follow steps and copy/ paste. And please, don't spam this thread with question like "how do i go back to stock hboot" "what addons are working" "why my uot update zip didn't work". If you have some basic knowledge of how an update.zip works you know what wrong.

We use the data Partition for Cache and Apps and the sdext for other data or system files ?
With the old scripts we do not really use the Data partition? I understand it right?
Sry for my bad english.... i need further infromation but it looks very good!
Downloading right now.

Applications and system framework files don't run from jar or apk files. They run from odex files within the Dalvik Cache. So placing the Dalvik Cache on the sd card causes performance degradation, and keeping these jar and apk files in the internal memory is a waste of space.
In this method, we try to keep in the internal memory only the files the phone actually uses during its runtime, and move to the sd card all the archive files that are not in use.
Quadrant tests will probably not reveal an improved performance. They don't test for what we have done. But the user experience is much, much better.

Many thanks!
This was my Idea after reading this (but bad english [writing])
Quadrant Scores are not very itresting.... User Experience counts more.... I take a look now ;-) Few minutes and i can give a little feedback ;-)

I am assuming this means the black out is over... This seems like an excellent direction to be heading, and the logic sounds sound! It is bed time on my side of the world, but I will definitely be testing this one out in the morning (or once i can slack off at work...)
For people who struggle with running commands, there is a windows app for flashing hboots/recoverys - fast boot commander which is a fairly easy way to proceed...
Big thanks to baadnewz (and co) for being so prolific in work of late.... keeps us compulsive rom swappers happy...

That's the one problem with a tiny cache partition. You cannot have too many market downloads at once, and you cannot flash a new radio with a zip file. I sent a message to the wonderful people at alpharev, asking for a new partition layout. If this type of rom gains traction, they will probably accommodate us.
Device booted very fast And market is working.
Very responsive.

Are market downloads saved to the cache partition?
What about market apps that are like 40 MB large?
Or did I get that wrong?

If there are any improvements with odexing the ROM. You should do it! Unodexing is very easy!

Enjoy,
Suggestions.
If I may:
- Add Plurk, including the widget.
- Render the notification tray transparent.
- Implement EXT4 support.
- Be sure that the Compcache modules are correct.
- Linux-swap supported AND/OR back_swap supported.
- Add Stocks, including the widget. (It's not that much of a resource hog.)
- Add Spare Parts.
- Keep all standard wallpapers to avoid gallery selection force closes.
- Keep all media to avoid "Ringdroid" or "Rings Extended" force closes.
- Keep the standard lock screen w/ throttle bar. (It's gorgeous.)
- Be sure that the latest kernel is the BFS-222 kernel. (Cyanogen's latest is.)
- (Opt.) Twisted's "black dialer."
- (Opt.) 2.73 based-build number. (Modaco's latest WWE dump.)
If you can make that happen before your release...or keeps your initial release HELD OFF...that's fine, trust me ---> it'll be worth it!
The community would be going nuts if you can make some of that happen!
Seriously, if you make at least half of that happen, I'll flash this ROM to both of my devices, and promote the hell outta' this.
Thanks.
EDIT: The reason for the Modaco dump suggestion is because he has the only build that DOES NOT force close while using the People Search function in the contacts. That's a big deal. IMO.
haha am i following you or the other way around. i Used your rom on my Wing, so i will be sure to check this one out.
TTran!!! Dude!! Your on sapph and dream roms now. You are my hero from herald forum!! I cant wait to see what happens with you toying with android!! Now lets go get Ivan lol!!

That's strange, I've test it before uploading, the file must have gotten corrupted or something.
I'm going to download it and try again.
File is not available from megaupload...
nevermind, i guess you're uploading it again
Bro this thing is very fast. And as what you said its a full verison so it might be a bit slow. But i dont think its slow at all. I have a class 2 4gb. Its still fast! Getting my class 6 in 3 days
I did notice one thing, with JACHEROski builds the prediction on QWERTY mode prediction dont work. But that is not a problem to me i can just use better keyboard while this whole thing gets figured out why it wont work on texting mode only.
But hey other than that this ROM is go for.

It should be the same file.
As for changes, I'm going to wait until tomorrow after folks have had time to download it and provide their feedback.

_~~~ Avaritia HD ~~~__
...when a DESIRE grows inordinately strong it becomes AVARICE ...
I tested almost all Desire HD ROMs with data2sd (!).... and i didn't like any of those. The reason is that the data2sd solution is done in a bad "patchwork" way. The reason is this: A Desire HD rom needs about 350mb for the system partition (nand). But the Desire has only 250mb for system available. To make HD Rom work all the devs move system stuff to the SD. This is needed if you provide an app2sd ROM because app2sd still needs some space of the internal data partition. But this is different on a data2sd ROM. In that case you only need 1mb of the internal nand. All other ROMs STILL move system stuff to the sd for their data2sd version although there is much free space on the internal now. Thats why i decided to make my own ROM .... optimized for data2sd only. This way all the 350mb of system is installed to the nand. This way i make good use of all the free memory that you get on data2sd and thats why i wont provide an app2sd version of this ROM. Instead of making data2sd for a ROM i made a ROM for data2sd.
Apart from that i tried to improve data2sd in general and the included script has advantages you don't get on other Desire HD roms. Other HD Roms use a "loop" device for data2sd. I find that a bit risky and thats why i didnt make that default but provide this as an OPTIONAL addon. The life-of-the-edge mod is not more risky than other data2sd Roms .... the difference is that I tell you about the risk and give you to choice if you want to use it....
This ROM is still work in progress and i still won't provide a full feature list (but i think you won't miss a thing because all "usual" features are included). Instead i give you a feature list of features that won't find in any other data2sd HD-ROM.
Features: (that make this ROM unique - at least for some time )
- partition alignment with zips.
- optimized layout for data2sd (system apps on NAND)
- ReiserFS, btrfs, JFS support + recovery
- "deadline" scheduler instead of cfq/bfq which is better for a microSD
I'll add some explanations for the features in future.
Requirements:
-A second Partition in Ext2/3/4 format (same as for app2sd - min 512 but 1024 mb highly recommended max is 2048 mb)
-FULL WIPE (if you come from any other rom or a version before 0.6)
-Default nand partition layout (if you dont know what this means dont care about it .... youll have it then )
Apart from the ext2/3/4 partition this ROM also supports other filesystems (btrfs, Reiserfs, jfs). See 2nd post for "mods" to align, format you partion in the desired filesystem. And for recovery.
Download
Avaritia HD v0.7 alpha (ftp - thanks c0urier)
Avaritia HD v0.6 alpha (ftp - thanks c0urier)
Avaritia HD v0.5 alpha (ftp - thanks c0urier)
WARNING: btrfs is still experimental, jfs is made for IBM servers with battery backed hdds, and the developer of reiserfs killed his wife ... so be careful with those.
Additional info: EXT3 is recommended. Akso see /sdcard/Avaritia/ for the config file.

Changelog (newest)
v0.7
- reverted rebase - Base is now RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6
- Cgroup errors on bfs fixed (through rebase)
Note: HTC using cgroup to speed up interactivity on CFS is not the way forward when
a sheduler MADE for interactivity (BFS) - CFS + cgroups is intended for large servers
and not for a phone.
- Dpad to wake / volume keys works now and included (see mods to "unflash")
- Power Notification widget included as default (see mods to unflash)
- Add custom Wallpaper to the default skin
- Fixed bootanimation (2 frames were too bright + made it a bit slower)
- Bluelight "fun" on boot
- Updated apks
- Some tweaks (mostly adopted from ownhere - thx ownhere)
- Some fixes.
For a complete changelog see the attached full-changelog.txt file
Known Issues and Recommendations
-As for all data to sd solution you may have slowdowns in some situations like market downloads if you have a slow microSD. Any data2sd solution is about space in the first place. But compared to other data2sd ROMs this ROM is faster.
-If you use any other filesystem you need the custom recover from 2nd post.
-FAKE quadrant scores if you use "life-on-the-edge". This does not show the real performance. This skips data base synchronization. It improves the performance (but not as much as bench suggests) at the risk of data safety.
- 720p not working. (see here)
Further Plans
Many....

Check the thread. In short btrfs is a copy on write filesystem. And overwriting is the slowest operation for a microSD. Btrfs has some options to optimize the ssd devices. Especially slow cards profit from it (for good cards it may be worse). Apart from that it doesn't need journaling to be safe because of COW. This decreases the overhead on writes.
Overall data2sd feels smoother on btrfs than on ext4 (at least for a class 2 microSD). Check the thread for more info and note that BTRFS is a BETA FILESYSTEM.
I just gave you another post directly below your original one All you have to do is edit it and use it.
Nice to see you choose the right ROM
I'm following your progress of your btrfs work a time now, and played around with it, too. I flash it to my device, lets see how it is
Please make the same with the desireZ rom

Coutts99 recommended it and after i looked at it found it rather easy to check the structure. Not much symlinks etc. Very clean and AFAIK the ROM that is closest to stock. Still needed to adjust many things (zipalign etc).

The best way if you are not already on a linux based system, is to grab a livecd and use gparted. Normally I would recommend Ubuntu, but Ubuntu 10.10 LiveCD got problems with btrfs + gparted. So you could try fedora or opensuse e.g.
Of course you can also use the gparted live cd or usb version.
I never tried them, but should be the same:
http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
With gparted format your sd card to FAT32 (first partion) and then 1024MB to btrfs (second partition).
Copy the ROM to your FAT32 partition and flash it through the recovery. I recommend AmonRAs latest recovery!
Don't forget to wipe before you flash! Don't worry if you get error messages when trying wiping the sd-ext, just ignore that.
Regards
I flashed the rom in btrfs mode. Installation without problems.
Its nice to see so much space on the phone.
The only thing is that the device really seems slower now.
Of course this is not your fault, you give us a great solution for more storage, but you can feel the difference.
I will let the phone do some caching and will use it a hole day tomorrow. (Navigation included). Lets see maybe things will settle down a little.
Maybe it could be improved with a optimized kernel.
I got a class 6 sd card by the way.

Pays, i normally use either UltimateLinux build for the meerkat or plain lynx. Are any of these distros have issue with btrfs too ?
Thanks
BL
I'll be testing this as soon as I can as I'm skeptical of Btrfs. Only way to check and test the actual Btrfs usability and performance with our device and ROMs is to use it with one. I'll try it with a class 2 SD first, then class 4 and 6 that I own. Thanks.
EDIT: Yeah, your "my data2btrfs" link talks about "advantages" where no. 1/2/4 are all speculation yet. There's no studies or widespread reliable, repeatable, and conclusive testing showing either. Basically, this is experimental.
EDIT2: Sorry can't help further. I bricked my device. Carry on.

Read first post again...
Lol, missed it. Sorry .
INTERACTIVE DATA2SD MOD
There are a lot of ways of moving /data to SD ext(2nd) partition. Here I'll show you an easy way to do it which is fully compatible with Optimus One(and possibly other devices as well). If you don't like the method used here, try other Data2SD/ext mod which may suit your needs, but please, don't hesitate to post your feedbacks/comments be it negative or positive (feedbacks/comments are highly appreciated).
The mod, as the title says, moves the whole /data partition to your SDcard's 2nd(ext) partition, which could give you virtually unlimited space to install apps and also boost quadrant scores. I have tested this with EXT2(and can get up to 900+ on quadrant with stagefright off or 2000 with stagefright on, OC'd to 787mhz with I/O score playing around 4000 - 5000+), so if you're using other FileSystems, please do post your feedbacks and possibly your I/O scores as well. I have also enforced an e2fsck on every boot which is useful for ext2 users as this will check and fix your 2nd partition for errors on every boot, if there's any.
Dalvik2cache temporarily unavailable with v4b5. A new version with the option to move dalvik-cache almost anywhere possible is coming up. If you still want to use the dalvik2ram mod, try v1.2(link at the bottom).
Why move dalvik-cache to RAM? Basically, the idea of moving the whole /data partition to SD ext partition is to primarily get more space for installing apps. And in this case, it does perform very well and combined with fast SD cards, it could even provide real-life performance boost. Now the downside to this, is that while most /data contents just get copied and read not that much often, dalvik-cache stores some info that needs to be read and updated very frequently. This results in a high I/O read/write frequency and thus results in shortening of the SD card life(in theory, the same could also be said when left internally but this time dealing damage to the nand disk instead). To counter this, the method I used is to move dalvik-cache to a virtual-disk like partition known as a tmpfs. tmpfs resides in RAM and has dynamic resizing structure which can allocate space depending on your needs. This way, dalvik-cache won't be using any physical disk and therefore causing damage to none. Almost too good to be true right? Well the drawback is, because tmpfs resides in RAM anything written onto it get's lost when rebooted or in-case of power loss thus resulting in loooong boot times(depending on the apps installed), as dalvik-cache contents are being rebuilt on every boot. Well I think that's enough of dalvik-cache and lets start with the mod.
WARNING
USING A NON-APP2SD ROM OR SIMPLY UNINSTALLING APP2SD IS STRICTLY RECOMMENDED
DO NOT EVEN TRY THIS MOD IF YOU HAVE ANY FORM OF APP2SD INSTALLED
ALWAYS PERFORM A BACKUP BEFORE TRYING OUT STUFF LIKE THESE
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for anything bad happening to the world blah blah, you know the drill!
INSTALLATION
An SD card with at least two partitions required.(First partition as FAT32 for regular SD use and second partition as EXT2(EXT3 and EXT4 will be supported on future builds)
1. Download Data2sd_v4b5.zip here!(latest stable build)
2. Flash via recovery
(testers WANTED, preferably using different ROMs.)
Test release can be found here!!!!!
QUADRANT TEST RESULT:
This mod is still on-going and still under development. Although it's already fully functional, some features or options may still be added later-on. Please post your feedbacks and give thanks if you can.

Can this be used with mik's CM7 beta6.1 rom ?
TIA
Very nice job! I will try it asap.
Attached the edify signed version (Clockworkmod 3 ). It installs just fine.
@hell1134: I think it should work on any rom that obeys the prerequisites and that are properly explained by ungaze (no apps2SD script installed or if it is something just uninstall in order to try this).

Should work with any non-app2SD Optimus One ROM on the fly. Make a backup first.
The script works fine. I tested it on Mik's beta 6.2. The only issue I have seen is with the themes. Even though a theme is selected, it defaults to the System one and since I could not find a way to do a hot reboot I couldn't properly apply my desired theme.
I have the other dalvik cache script running right now. You talk a lot about improving the life of the device/sd and saving space for apps. Is there no performance gains with doing this?

Personally, I don't find any huge/noticeable gain on any mod I have done with O1 this is because O1 is already super fast as it is, and it's a good thing. But if you're the kind of person who measures performance based on benchmark's, then data2sd will give you huge I/O performance gain(specially in quadrant). On the other hand, dalvik-cache2ram is purely for disk preservation only. Not much gain here.
regarding themes on miks CM7 6.2. I really don't have the slightest idea on what's happening with your themes. Maybe its in the way that CM implements themes? I reallt don't know as themes reside in the /system partition which should not be affected by the scripts that I have made.
I personally haven't seen any performance benefits. Anyway as I think about it the sdcard way is more preferably for me since I would never use one with a lesser class than 6.
@ungaze: Only the default themes (System, Androidian and Cyanbread) are in /system

May be pasting your desired theme to system/app and removing the current default will help. Then even after reboot default will be your drsired theme.
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk
I don't think it will help me since the question is about T-Mobile Theme Manager settings. I don't know where these are saved but it is pretty obvious that there are not in the right place since everything defaults to the System theme.
Edit: I have managed to make Hot Reboot (Quick Boot Plus) work so now I have the themes working properly since I can restart only the UI.
I will stick to this for now.
one question :: is the phone really fast with data partition on sdcard's ext2 partition ??? anybody using it please give your inputs: Also How do i use this along with darktremor's a2sd ??? i just want data2sd not dlcache2ram
I haven't used ext2 partition but I can tell you about 3 and 4. Theoretically, performance wise ext2 should be as fast as ext4 the only major difference being that the latter is a journaled fs.
In practice you will not see too much difference between the 3 of them on this phone.
I have used mostly ext4 and I am happy with it. Once the phone boots it adds a little waiting time to actually be ready (5-10 secs for me).
For the second part, I don't think it's feasible to use both. Instead you can use the original script by pomka78 and disable darktremor's dalvik script from (a2sd nocache).

I'd tried app2sd with microSD Class 4 and now I can say that for scheme "[email protected], [email protected]" ext2 is faster than ext3, and ext4 is a waaay faster than ext3. This scheme is very useful and most of the time it is as fast, as "[email protected]" due to Dalvik cache is on nand. The scheme "(data&Dalvik)@Ext" with slow cards is almost useless because of the lags.
But of course it's better to use Class10

Ext2 is the fastest one because of no journalism.
Anyway this script works awesomely good. With a class 4 card my phone flies like it never did and I don't understand how anyone can say that it lags.

Yes I have rom without it.
I installed franciscofranco first, and everything was fine.
After it I flashed that script, android was starting for 5 minutes and after that it hanged up, I removed battery, started again and there were constant force closes of titanium backup, launcherpro and some android processes.
I tried to install only that Data2SD + Dalvik-cache2RAM script on fresh rom. It started, when it hanged on "preparing SD", after restart everything was fine, there was about 400 mb of free rom.
Interesting... Are those two scripts compatible?
if im using darktremors a2sd i need to reflash my rom? do everything from beggining?

v2.2.6 RC4 Released: Oct/01
Rare Superuser problem when tar backups were enabled (disabled by default) was fixed.
Converting partitions between ext3 and ext4 without data loss now correctly calculates the space needed to successfully complete the operation
New option: check and optionally repair the file system on your sdcard (fat32)
Removed duplicate format cache option inside the format menu (wipe cache does the same)
When formatting fat32 it will now save your 4ext.prop settings and restore them afterwards
Changed partitioning of the sdcard to not use LBA mode for new fat32 partitions as requested by Ghiki
Added new size option (128mb) to the partitioning menu per request
Parted is no longer used to format fat32 in the partition menu
-> This solves a bug where sometimes the creation of the fat32 file system failed and produces better quality results
4EXT Recovery themes should now stay when formatting /system or flashing new roms
New option: format /sdcard fat32
New 4EXT Recovery Control API because I'm forced to drop "extendedcommand" (see App for the reason why)
enables file names and directories to include spaces for installations
calculates needed space to complete a full or advanced backup at the beginning of the backup.
This ensures that you are not left with a non working backup.
Size for recovery greatly reduced
New 4EXT Recovery Control Features
Please see www.4ext.net for more.
Fix permissions
Calculate real values for the space needed to create a new full or advanced backup
Advanced Backups: While you are selecting / deselecting partitions, it will display and update the currently needed space to complete that custom backup set.
As an example, the following would be possible to do in just one session:
Restore a backup, set to create a backup / advanced backup before the restore,
format all partitions with a file system of your choice before the restore process starts,
flash additional zip files afterwards, fix permissions and select to stay inside recovery or to reboot automatically once all actions are complete.
Features: Use 4EXT Recovery Control or Recovery Updater for complete Changelogs and Known issues!
not all features may be relevant for all devices
Displays additional information:
Identifies your current rom and displays its name
Current filesystems on your partitions
Free space remaining of all of your volumes
Current battery charge level
Backup | Restore:
Correctly calculates free space needed to complete a backup ( version > 2.2.6 RC4 )
Tar backups (can be switched on or off)
Complete CWMR5 compatibility
All Backups you create will be named after your currently installed Rom for easier identification.
Never unwillingly get "downgraded" to EXT3 again
Always restores backups using the file systems you HAD on your partitions at the time of creation!
-> all partitions formatted with ext4 at that time, will be restored to ext4. The same is true for ext3.
You can manually change any existing Backup to ext4 or ext3
-> so that after a restore, all partitions and up with the file system you wanted!
Advanced Backup: backup only a single partition
Convert any of your partitions to EXT4 or EXT3 without data loss.
Formatting:
When you wipe or format it will always use the same file system you currently have.
-> but you can change that
When you format ext4 it will always create an aligned file system
Correctly identifies unformatted sd-ext partitions
-> if it finds one it displays a warning and suggests you may format them by visiting the 4EXT menu
Filesystem check and repair option in advanced menu
Partitioning:
Alignment check of your partitions
Full support for up to 2 sd-ext partitions + swap (Backup/restore/format/convert, fsck, et.c.)
(RE-) Partition your sdcard for sd-ext without removing your fat32 partition.
All partitions created with 4EXTRecovery will be perfectly aligned to 4k
Installing:
Integrated md5sum checking option
Themes:
Customize all colours used throughout recovery
Use your own icons, background images, progress bars.. more to come.
Assign different backgrounds to different menu categories (version >= 2.1.2)
Create a flashable zip for others to flash your theme.
Menus:
Most popular menu items rearranged
Format menu
Power Menu + option to reboot into bootloader
Less "No's" in confirmation dialogues
Changed Advanced Restore: first select what you want to restore, then select the backup
-> Useful for restoring from "Advanced Backups"
4ext.prop:
Configuration file on your sdcard where you can set options to be used by 4EXTRecovery
Change all settings conveniently with 4EXT Recovery Control
Many more options to come
Share your settings / themes by packing your config into a flashable theme
Other stuff:
USB Storage Autostart (must be switched on)
Mount usb storage exposes all partitions on your sdcard to the os (not just fat32)
-> you could even partition your sdcard from your PC while connected via USB
Switch haptic feedback on/off
You don't need to reboot recovery if you transferred a file to show up in the install menu.
-> This bug affected only some users with either CWMR or previous versions of 4EXT.
Button backlights (Desire S, Desire HD and Incredible S only)
Download:
All downloads are now available through 4EXT Recovery Updater. It's free, no ads, no tracking, no nothing, don't worry
.. and of course via 4EXT Recovery Control
This ensures that your downloads are ok by automatically verifying md5sums and that known issues and changelogs are easily accessible
It also notifies you when there are any new critical bugs found
Recovery images will be uploaded for download soon too, but they can also be acquired easily by using Updater or Control.
You can for example just download a recovery.zip containing the image. The download will be automatically verified for correct md5sums!
4EXT Recovery Control
Free version: Recovery Updater
Fully featured version: 4EXT Recovery Control
For a list of its many features, visit www.4ext.net
Some examples :
Flash as many zip files you want in one go
Automatically calculate and display the md5sums of all zip files you are going to flash
Check your backups' health to ensure they will restore later when you need them, by verifying their md5sums!
Optionally, but highly not recommended:
If md5sums don't match but you REALLY NEED that backup BADLY, you might want to restore it anyway.
You can you this app to fix the md5sums of a given backup to "forcefully" restore it!
Calculate real values for the space needed to create a new full or advanced backup
Advanced Backups: While you are selecting / deselecting partitions, it will display and update the currently needed space to complete that custom backup set.
Identifies and adds your romname so you don't need to type so much when chosing a meaningful name for your backup
As an example, the following is possible to do in just one session:
Restore a backup, set to create a backup / advanced backup before the restore,
format all partitions with a file system of your choice before the restore process starts,
flash additional zip files afterwards, fix permissions and select to stay inside recovery or to reboot automatically once all actions are complete.
Much, much more! See www.4ext.net
Recovery theming
Uninstall and Install themes with live preview and the option to change their colours without the need to reboot into recovery.
Change all colours with live preview and a nice colour picker.

Thank you very much!
Yes I will post them, but please give me 2-3 days (max.). Don't have much time at the moment because of very much work and I'd like to update it first with current code
Edit: yes I can merge them/add those changes

this beer is yours if you could merge all 3 versions to a superhero custom recovery
take your time... i know what you mean... job, family and cooking rom´s for android is hard work
if you need someone to test... i´m your man, or just share your github. i´m able to compile it myself for desire s

Okay, I took a look at the features.
An Advanced backup is an extremely good idea!!
And as it won't need so much code not already there from Koush, it shouldn't take long I hope
Well nothing I did required so much additional code. CWMR already has so many great functions you can use, biggest respect!
A wipe menu with all the wiping is also a really nice idea.
But full wipe?/system/data and cache? Could you give any example when someone would need that?
BTW: I don't even have a github account yet
I will send you the source as soon as I got it done, then do some cleaning, register and upload it.
Good night
Looking forward to the updates madmaxx82
madmaxx can you make this recovery for the desire
Good morning
Although I should really get to work You motivated me enough that I was excited trying out the advanced backup recovery.
I repacked it with an IS kernel and tried the advanced backup function.
I saw that if you do an advanced backup, it creates a backup folder named like any other full backup.. so you wouldn't know it contains only one partition..
and when you want to restore that, you would also need to use advanced restore and know which (lonely) partition was backed up in which folder ..
if you select the wrong one it fails and you also don't know which one it was just by using the menu..
I have some suggestions, please tell me what you think would be best:
- Create a distinct folder structure for advanced backups like that:
/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/advanced/data
/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/advanced/system
/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/advanced/cache
/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/advanced/boot
/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/advanced/.android_secure (do we need that?)
So when you did an advanced backup of data it would create the usual <date-time> folder, but inside /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/advanced/data
- Just create /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/advanced/ and put all advanced backups in there..

Thanks for the feedback and testing.
Did you install using the "OneClick" method maybe and could confirm this works?
Can't think of why it shouldn't but I can only test it on the IS..
The rest of the recovery should really work as it does on the IS as everything but the button-lights is the same on both devices..

Guess it was worth it in the end then?
Could I suggest that it might be worth getting LBC to incorporate a link to this thread and excellent recovery from within the already existing [RECOVERY] sticky, preferably within the first post.
Unless you want to request that the moderator smokestack76 makes this another sticky.
All MT6573 android phones are plagued by low internal memory issue.
This mod works on all MT6573 Stock ROM with Stock Recovery.
Credits (In Aphabetical Order): banjo0917, casacristo, puppet13th, tazzz811, ungaze & others DEV.
Without them sharing their mods/ tools, this KANG would not be here...
BIG Kudos to them...

Added on July 07, 2012 - Version 2
Added V2 that take advantage of another unused script on Stock ROM, xlog.sh... If your MT6573 phone already have a copy of install-recovery.sh at etc folder, you can use this V2... i think with V2, you can simply install it to all MT6573 android phone without having worrying if there is a copy of install-recovery.sh at /system/etc :fingers-crossed:
Having said that, it is always safe to check with any Root Explorer & make sure you don't have an existing copy of xlog.sh at /system/etc. If there is, then save a copy to your /sdcard/scriptz folder before using V2... :victory:
---------------------------------------
Confirmed MT6573 Android Phone that works with Data2SD mod
CSL Switch Dual II Mi357
Fly IQ260 Blackbird
Spice Mi-350n
Nexian Cosmo Journey A895
Wellcom A90+
Lenovo A60
Spice Mi-350
Alcatel BLAZE DUO OT-918N
i-mobile i695

---------------------------------------
Detail explanation on what this mod do
It uses install-recovery.sh/ xlog.sh (V2) to start up tweaks/ scripts at your /sdcard/scriptz folder. Inside scriptz folder, there are a few tweaks/ scripts that improve your android phone performance. The beauty of this mod is that it works like init.d but it reside on your SdCard instead of /system/etc/init.d
With normal init.d mod, any wrong tweaks, your phone will not boot or goes into bootloop ! With this SdCard Tweakz, anything wrong, just remove your SdCard & your phone will reboot normally. Then you can use any card reader to remove the scripts that causes the error.
To try any other tweaks, open any init.d tweaks with Notepad ++ or equivalent & save it as XX***.sh -> XX digit, *** -> text. For detail explanation on what you can do with SD Tweakz, you can refer to the original post here...
Again, here are the original developers/ modders in alphabetical order...
banjo0917 - Ported his custom ROM to my Mi357, this has leads me to discover that install-recovery.sh can be use on all MT6573 & ungaze SD Tweakz/ Data2SD
bgcngm - his unpack/ repack script leads me to discover unused script at boot.img
casacristo - First to compile ext2.ko so everyone can use ext2 partition on MT6573 with 2.6.35.7 kernel
DooMLoRD - Use/ modded his Easy Rooting Toolkit [v4.0](zergRush Exploit) for this mod
tazzz811 - First to discover ungaze's Data2SD can be use on MT6573
puppet13th - Use/ modded his tool for this mod earlier
ungaze - Data2SD & SD Tweakz mod
xboxexpert - Use part of his interactive script
others DEV - various scripts at scriptz folder mostly ported from banjo's ROM
---------------------------------------
Added on July 11, 2012 - Final Version via ADB
a2sd-mt6573-ext2-ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.7z
- AIO which includes rooting, auto-install busybox, su, Superuser.apk & ungaze's Data2SD & SD Tweakz
a2sd-mt6573-ext2.7z
- Install only ungaze's Data2SD & SD Tweakz for already rooted mt6573 Android phone. Make sure you have busybox prior to install this or else it will not work...
---------------------------------------
Added on July 21, 2012 - ext4 Test Version
As mention, because of work commitment, i cannot find time to fully test & release this ext4 version...Credits to Banjo0917 for compiling it...
So i'm hoping someone would take over, test it & release the stable version so that all mt6573 users can benefit from it... :laugh: It is actually a fully working version which can also be install over previous ext2 version. Problem is that it works o.k for awhile then the constant FCs...
Files are extracted from Banjo's earlier patch file, he is most active at his Pinoy forum but not here...
You can download his rom here for reference...
You can find his latest rom here...

Added on August 26, 2012 - Cronmod INT2EXT
Just got an update from [SCRIPTS]CronMod-A2SD/D2EXT/INT2EXT (updated 08/24)
thanks to croniccorey & mastermind1024, now you have a few more scripts that you can play with, on ur stock ROM... :victory:
INT2EXT Features
INT2EXT
- Mounts /sd-ext to /data
INT2EXT+
- Mounts /sd-ext to /data & leaves /data/data on internal for speed
INT2EXT4
-Mounts /sd-ext to /data & works with EXT 4 filesystem
INT2EXT4+
-Mounts /sd-ext to /data & leaves /data/data on internal for speed
01int2ext+deodex-mm.sh mod by mastermind1024 for deodex ROM & people facing slow system after using INT2EXT+ script. It moves /dalvik-cache back to internal so that your system response better...
Steps for Installation
1) Download AIO-mt6573-Data2sd-ext4-For Testing.7z, extract it to your desktop; scriptz_cronmod.7z , extract it to /sdcard
2) If you have already use previous mods then it is advisable to format ext2 partition first before installation. Double-click start.bat & when it is about to finish & ask Press any key to reboot . . ., just close it
3) Remove 01data2ext4.sh from /sdcard/scriptz folder
4) Copy only one of the script from /sdcard/scriptz_cronmod to /sdcard/scriptz & reboot
Enjoy & don't forget to thank the original DEV...
---------------------------------------
Added on August 30, 2012 - Amarullz Ad2sdx
i've been trying to get this mod to work on stock ROM for the longest time & now it does !
Special thanks to mastermind1024, i couldn't figure out why it doesn't work at the first place, it always shows invalid IMEI for both SIM...
You can follow Amarullz original post here
Same as Cronmod INT2EXT, only one script should be copied to /sdcard/scriptz folder...
A little explanation about the different scripts
1) Ad2sdx mod by Alex-V - moves everything to sd-ext. According to Alex, if the internal data is full with dalvik cache & you still have plenty of free memory left on sd-ext, you can't install anymore apps...With this mod, you can !
2) Ad2sdx mod by casacristo - modded to mount ext2 instead of ext4 originally. This is the original untouched mod that places the dalvik-cache and system application data to internal memory to maintain performance.
3) Ad2sdx mod by haiduongbk - reverse mount sd-ext & data
Enjoy...
---------------------------------------
Added on Sept 24, 2012 - Dark Tremor Apps2sd Version: 2.7.5.3 Beta 04
This is the last version from Dark Tremor AKA Robert Travis Kirton since Jan 2011....
i've been looking forward to his Darktremor 2.8 but sadly it never got release...
After installation, use A2SDGUI to move dalvik-cache to SD-EXT. Also included is FreeSpace to check Ext partition...
For maximum space saving, at ADB shell use command su then a2sd datasd but i must warn you it might FC later on... He did mention he was never a fan of moving the entire /data/data directory to the SD card...

Added on Oct 17, 2012 WARNING : MEDIATEK SMART PHONE FLASH TOOL
i've seen far too many times that fellow xda member make this same mistake over & over again, including myself...
So pls pls people, don't use SP Flash Tool & download ROM not meant for your phone, it will brick it & there is no way to revive it back ! After you have download wrong PRELOADER, your phone will be completely dead, cannot power on, no charging, no recovery, no USB vcom detection & you can say
to it...
Here is the WARNING again :
NEVER DOWNLOAD ROM NOT MEANT FOR YOUR PHONE. IT WILL BRICK IT !
If I would have seen this post before my phone wouldn't have been bricked
Anyway kudos to poster & developers
there are a lot of beginners would like to know how to install this into their MT6573 phone...
well...

Auto Installation using ADB
1. Download & install usb driver from the above link if your phone doesn't comes with it.
2. Copy the extracted ADB folder to c:\ drive.
3. Double click Start.bat & all files will be installed.
4. Follow on-screen for instructions.
@sevensaints
First, on your android phone, enable usb debugging... Setting -> Applications -> Development -> put a check mark on "USB debugging"
Typically, when you plug-in your android phone, windows will detect it & will prompt you to install the driver...if it doesn't then follow the steps below...
Go to Device Manager -> double click on the MT65xx Android Phone -> Update Driver -> Browse my computer for driver software -> Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer -> Next -> Have Disk -> Browse -> to wherever you have extracted the downloaded google usb driver -> android_winusb.inf -> OK -> Next -> Install -> Close -> Close
Whew, i actually replicate the actual step, by step... There is also another auto-installer, Pdanet, you can check it out...
Then double-click SuperOneClick & it will do its job... :victory: Answer yes when ask whether to install busybox
Actually, rooting & installing google sdk usb driver is scattered everywhere on the web & also here at xda...SuperOneClick
@breaky9973
Thanks, breaky9973...It would be great if you could post the model of your MT6573 then others users will benefit from it too... :victory:
I have an i-mobile i695 and I got it succesfully restored (with one minor issue).
Your script works for me but it took me a couple of restarts to be fully initialized on my phone.
guys, thank you so much for your feedback...
@breaky9973
actually, it works right after reboot, the problem is mediatek's mt6573 is kinda of slow while booting up & yes, what you said is correct, it actually needs around 1 to 2 minutes to fully initialized... :silly:
@sevensaints
when i got my android phone, 1st week got it rooted, 2nd week brick it, 3rd week found russian forum to restore it back... :laugh: i presume most users will root their phone once they got their hands on it... Point taken, i have included DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit with it now... :good:
As mention before, would appreciate if you guys that has this mod working on your phone to reply with the model of your mt6573 so that other users would benefit from it too...
Thanks...
Hello yuweng,
Just want to confirm this mod works on Nexian A899 based on MT6573 stockrom. because of I used Link2SD before, seem like get problem to increased the internal storage and after factory reset, it works! get it free of 1.3 GB
btw, the start.bat not works under Win7..only works under WinXP.
Thanks! :good:
Thank you so much for your feedback, para_dox77... :laugh:
Actually, best size for sd-ext is 1GB. i've install 200 over games to test & found out that after 1.2 GB of data fill up, after reboot, the launcher screen is not responding, all apps are missing & i have to wait around 3 to 4 minutes then everything show up ! After that, everything is quite responsive. So i guess thats the max. Same as our PC... On top of that, you'll save 500MB of space if you format your sd-ext 1GB instead of 1.5GB...
Both ported scripts are develop & tested on Win7 OS, so my best guest is that you didn't turn off the user account control settings...it'll block whatsoever bat/ exe/ setup file that is trying to run...
Another lesson learn, so guys please delete whatsoever link2sd, a2sd, d2sd & etc that you have or else this mod will not work... :fingers-crossed:
By the way, this mod should be call data2sd or d2sd...You can refer to this post by croniccorey. You can also try his scripts & see if it works on our mt6573...been super busy with work lately so no time for modding...
Hey, this is great! but I am having a little issue. I have a "NEOBOX NEO" phone, and since I was stuck with the stock recovery I could add init.d support but no ext2 support so I was using link2sd with a fat32 partition, but I still had problems with storage. I uninstalled links2sd and formatted the partition to ext2, ran the .bat and it worked, now I have plenty of space and no more annoying low space messages. The thing is, whenever my phone sleeps, when I turn the screen on, it hangs for a while, and then it prompts like 3 to 5 times like it has a new sim card. My guess is that it moved the sim app to the sd and when it sleeps it is not actually reading from the card hence the problem. I haven't done any further testing but I am guessing this would also cause trouble with other apps that need to be running in the background like messaging and whatsapp and basically anything that syncs. And if I am right and that is the problem, then the solution would involve having the phone not to sleep and thus drain the battery very fast. Correct me if I am wrong (and I certainly hope I am because otherwise this seems great and the solution to my problem)
EDIT: it does the "sim thing" not only when sleeping but anytime. specially anoying when listening to music. Anyone with the same/similar issue? the card is a 16gb verbatim HC card class 10. never had a problem with it b4.
Hi jinxie,
I've read alot on generic a2sd mod, data2sd & etc; many users has been reporting problem with class 10...
My suggestion to you is that you remove all scripts except 01data2ext.sh & monitor from there onward...
This is the best part of ungaze's SD Tweakz, just add or remove any old/ new tweak scripts from your SdCard scriptz folder & you phone will be back to normal or even better/ faster with the correct modded scripts... :good:
The other thing is that i change the read_ahead_kb from the original 03tweakz.sh; from 1024 to 8192... You can refer to here for more info... May be it is too high for class 10... Use Notepad ++ & change it to a lower value...

Thanks for the quick reply! I will try that!
So, update: After trying it yesterday all day, very unstable, rebooted like a ziliion times, and then it looked like finally everything was in place and it started to work fine, so I installed a bunch of apps. Like 5 or 6, usual stuff, facebook, twitter, etc., rebooted, and now it bootloops. removed the card and boots fine of course, but no freaking space. What now? heh
UPDATE:
I decided to do a clean install, and since there is no custom recovery for my device I cant flash zips, I erased all data and flashed the system.img partition again. I also formated both fat32 and ext2 partitions from the sd card. Then I applied your script (prior to that y reduced the read ahead kb you mentioned by half). No luck, same issues. So i deleted all scripts but the data2ext. It runs better, but I still get FCs, it hangs for a few secs, then I lose all connectivity with the "restricted access changed" message, and the new sim detected pops up constantly, so I also get a lot of dropped calls. I also noticed battery drainage, much faster than before, I think it is because of the same connectivity issue since looking for networks does drain a lot of battery.
Apparently, it has to do with data connection, since I have deactivated it and for the past hour I haven't had those problems, but I can't tell for sure, I'll test wifi when I get home.
Thanks so much for the update, jinxie...
AFAICR, some mt6573 has different mtd for system.img...
at adb shell, cat /proc/mtd & see if it is mtd11...
if it is different then i think you have to edit 01data2ext.sh, line 22, 33, 130, 138 to your system.img mtd location...
hope it works out for u... :fingers-crossed:
Added on August 03, 2012 - Earlier original ungaze [mod][mt6573] Data2sd on stock rom Test Version
Attach script is the original script format from ungaze's Data2SD... :fingers-crossed:
Steps
Option 1 - Replace file at SdCard
1) Delete 01data2ext.sh from SdCard scriptz folder
2) Format SdCard ext2 partition
3) Restart & let it settle down
4) Copy this file to your SdCard scriptz folder & restart
Option 2 - Reinstall this mod all over again
1) Format SdCard ext2 partition, factory reset, wipe data
2) Restart & let it settle down
3) Copy this file to & delete 01data2ext.sh -> files -> scriptz folder & run start.bat
I had a record of my tables but I cant find it, but if the mtd was different shouldn't it not work at all? because it does work, I have the internal memory the size of the partition, but it is unstable and slow.
I installed terminal but it FCs so I am installing ADB because I formatted my pc recently so I will tell you in a few minutes.
Btw it seems the SIM card problem only happens when the data connection is active, maybe it has to do with the network changes from E to 3G and H. I haven't been able to disable fast dormancy. The battery consumption showed almost 50% in Cell standby. But it still hangs, FCs and that kind of weir stuff that makes it really hard to use and a challenge to my patience. Thank you for all your help. Is there any other alternative you would recommend for the low storage issue for us the poor ones with stock recovery? Link2sd worked for a while but then memory got full anyways, dont know why because I had almost every app on the SD. I wish I could use a2sdx...
EDIT: yup system is mtd11 :S
my mt6573 will be monster after this
thanks
perfect on b63m..i try casacristo ext2 script..
@loris22
Thank you so much for your feedback, another phone added to the list... :laugh:
@y2yu
Wow, you post reply here & on my other thread, hope you find my KANG useful... :fingers-crossed:
hi
without a custom recovery there are some way to make a2sd work?
Yes, in fact you can ! But it will be quite tedious as you need to manually copy a2sd's files to its appropriate folders, manually set permissions & etc for it to work.... And you will also need bgcngm's MTK-Tools to unpack boot.img...You can refer to here for more info...
Why don't you use my universal cwmr Android Kitchen plugins for porting cwmr to ur MT6573 ?
I've created this thread specially for MT6573 users that are happy with their stock ROM but needed larger internal memory...
Originally, most of these data2sd scripts require some kind of modding to the boot.img or system.img while the one here doesn't require any of that...
Kudos to the original DEVs for these excellent scripts....
