DOES NOT WORK ON CUPCAKE 1.5. Try one of the other apps to sd card threads.
I decided to create a new thread for hacking a rooted g1 to allow applications to run from the sdcard. The original thread's instructions don't work without some modifications and the original poster doesn't seem to have the time to update it.
I'll try to keep the original post as up to date as possible as new information comes.
Prerequisites:
1. Rooted g1 with jesus freak version 1.30 or 1.31, 1.41 (rc30, rc33) Works with all rooted US, UK, international versions of the g1.
2. Have "adb" from the android sdk installed on your desktop machine.
Sdcard preparation:
Divide your sdcard into 2 partitions. The first partition should be FAT, the second partition should be EXT2. This can be most easily accomplished using a linux or mac machine. For windows, you can use "paragon partition manager 9" to do this. It will allow you to partition your sdcard and format the 2nd partition to ext2 fs. It is very important that the 2nd partition be formatted as EXT2 or the rest of the procedure will NOT work. The 2nd ext2 partition will be used to store your installed apps.
In the original thread, somebody mentioned a HP sdcard partition tool program, but I don't believe that will allow you to format the partition to EXT2 fs.
Procedure:
1. With the phone off, insert your newly partitioned sdcard into the g1.
2. Connect your g1 to your desktop via the usb cable and turn it on.
3. Backup your original mountd.conf and initrc.rc files from your g1 by running the following commands on your desktop from the cmd shell:
adb pull /system/etc/mountd.conf <dir on your desktop>
adb pull /system/init.rc <dir on your desktop>
4. Mount your g1's /system directory as writable via the desktop cmd shell:
adb remount
5. IMPORTANT! Create a /system/sd directory on your g1 via the desktop cmd shell:
adb shell mkdir /system/sd
adb shell ls /system and make sure that the directory has been created.
6. Download the attached modified mountd.conf and init.rc files to your PC.
7. Push the modified mountd.conf to your g1 via the desktop cmd shell:
adb push /<dir on your desktop of modified file>/mountd.conf /system/etc/mountd.conf
8. Push the modified init.rc to your g1 via the desktop cmd shell:
adb push /<dir on your desktop of modified file>/init.rc /system/init.rc
9. Reboot your g1
10. Connect to the g1 shell via the desktop cmd shell:
adb remount
adb shell
11. Check to see that the ext2 partition has been created and mounted:
busybox df -h
You should see a line that looks similar to this:
/dev/mmcblk0p2 1.2G 9.1M 1.1G 1% /system/sd
If you don't see this line, you didn't partition your sdcard correctly. STOP! Go back and do that.
12. From the G1 shell run the following cmds to copy your app and app-private directories from the internal g1 storage to the sdcard.
busybox cp -a /data/app /system/sd
rm -r /data/app
ln -s /system/sd/app /data/app
busybox cp -a /data/app-private /system/sd/app-private
rm -r /data/app-private
ln -s /system/sd/app-private /data/app-private
13. Reboot, enjoy all the extra storage!
Undo Procedure by heldc:
Dunno if this has been posted yet, but the undo process is simple. I just did it with no problems, and thought others might want it as well. (Note-if you're copy pasting this to do it, anything following # til the end of a line is just a comment, don't copy/paste it.)
adb remount #makes your file system writeable
adb push /<place you backed up mount.conf to>/filenameofbackeduporiginalmount.conf /system/etc/mountd.conf #restores the original mount.conf
adb push /<place you backed up init.rc to>/filenameofbackeduporiginalinit.rc /system/init.rc #restores the original init.rc
adb shell #opens the phone shell
rm -r /data/app #deleting the symbolic link to /system/sd
mkdir /data/app #recreating /data/app
rm -r /data/app-private #deleting the symbolic link to /system/sd
mkdir /data/app-private #recreating /data/app-private
reboot
Instructions without adb using terminal app by LucidREM
this is a form of the instructions from this thread .. but modified slightly to be used directly from the "Terminal" .. i did not use my USB on my phone to root or run apps .. everything i did was on the G1
$su
#mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
#mkdir /system/sd
6. Download the attached modified mountd.conf and init.rc files to your SD.
#busybox cp -a /sdcard/mountd.conf /system/etc/mountd.conf
#busybox cp -a /sdcard/init.rc /system/init.rc
9. Reboot your g1
$su
#mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
#busybox df -h
You should see a line that looks similar to this:
/dev/mmcblk0p2 1.2G 9.1M 1.1G 1% /system/sd
If you don't see this line, you didn't partition your sdcard correctly. STOP! Go back and do that.
12. From the G1 shell run the following cmds to copy your app and app-private directories from the internal g1 storage to the sdcard.
#busybox cp -a /data/app /system/sd
#rm -r /data/app
#ln -s /system/sd/app /data/app
#busybox cp -a /data/app-private /system/sd
#rm -r /data/app-private
#ln -s /system/sd/app-private /data/app-private
Reboot your g1
Update 1/19/2009:
Installing non-wipe custom themes shouldn't cause any issues. I just installed the BUUF theme and I didn't have to re-do the procedure.
Update 1/20/2009:
Added undo procedure by heldc
Update 1/27/2009:
Added procedure for moving data directory to the sdcard, without performance issues.
This is not stable so I've moved it to the bottom.
13. Copy /data/data directory from internal storage to sdcard. This is OPTIONAL as some people are still reporting issues.
mkdir /system/sd/data
cp -rp /data/data /system/sd
rm -r /data/data
ln -s /system/sd/data /data/data
Reversal procedure:
rm /data/data
cp -rp /system/sd/data /data
Update 2/7/2009:
Add instructions by lucidrem that doesn't require adb. Allows you to apply the hack from the g1 using terminal app
going to try this right now..i will tell you if it works on my G1
i followed all the steps and i was able to boot into my phone without any problems. I was also able to install apps from market BUT when i instaled them my STORAGE LEFT went down from 54 to 51MB.
**I can see all the apps i installed in /system/sd/apps
please help,
thanks
Running apps off the SD card show any signs off slowness or laggyness?
Hey I would like to know what software are u using to create the partition on the sd, I tried partition magic 8 and partition mananger but the softwares can't see the sd card.
I use Paragon Partition Manager 9

Only the apk files are moved to the sdcard. The apps database files are still on the internal storage and all the cache files are still on the internal storage. Its still a good idea to manually move them over to the sdcard.
So as you install more apps, the internal storage will still shrink, but not as much as before and will go down slowly.
You can try to also move the /data/data directory over to the sdcard, that will move all the database files from the internal storage to the sdcard, but I haven't tried that. If you have a class 6 sdcard, try it and see if that slows things down.

Now I have to figure out how to do the partition in Ubuntu Lol
hi,
i'm a total noob to this. I've managed to pull the mountd and init files to back them up. When I get to step 5: adb mkdir /system/sd when I press enter the cmd shell gives me the adb menu. How can I tell if the dir was created?
Thanks for any help you guys can give.
1) adb shell
2) mkdir /system/sd
thanks a lot.
For the person that asked how to partition your sd card in Ubuntu you can use partition editor under system-administration- partition editor

Thanks for the info but I just find out tha paragon partition mananger can creat ext2 partitions too
everything went right with the software it create my fat32 partition and the ext/2. what I don't know is if the ext/2 is formated and my computer with linux does not see sd card at all so right now I don't now how to confirm this.
ps. I try to look for the option SYSTEM THEN ADMITNISTRATION and it does not have the partition editor installed.

Try this and see if it works... I haven't tried it myself as I only have the stock sdcard and I know its going to be too slow.
adb shell
cp -a /data/data /system/sd
rm -r /data/data
ln -s /system/sd/data /data/data
reboot
If this doesn't work or its too slow, to reverse it do the following:
adb shell
busybox cp -a /system/sd/data /data/data
If this works well, I'll modify the original post...

ok.. strange that your internal storage is still at 52mb though.. something else must be eating it...
do this:

Hi,
I found this here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=164933
its a telnetd server writte nin Java, and mybe somebody can use it, that the German people get an telnet server....
hi!
i think this won't work! because the telnet server have to be started as root (in the other versions there was this leak)
i'm looking for a shellcode to get root access (or maybe a kernel leak - for the < 2.6.25 there is a local root exploit)
maybe someone's finding a way ...
cheerio
I didnt know the install routin but if you install a "apk" package did andorid do it as root?
So you can install and start the package in one step?
the installation should happen as root user, but when the programs starts, it's another user.
just tested it with pterminal:
install, then run it.
check your id:
~: id
uid=10059(app_59) gid=10059(app_59)
now it would be nice to know the permissions from this user and how to get a su-id
cheerio
Change ID and su-id on other Linux System and copy back?
that would be nice
but you have to get root access to mount the filesystem read and writeable!
cheerio
ln ? It must be possible to run own software on Android Linux...
tmp folder is writeable make ln -s to sd card and run...
yes, it's writeable but not execute able
ehm, if you make an executable file in tmp you can start it with ./telnetd...
The files are executable not the folder, or what you mean?
the folder shows up as executeable but the file doesn't and i'm not able to change the permission:
i tryed with busybox (compiled for arm):
pinguin:~# adb shell
$ cd /sdcard

wow google think on all, to make the work hard... whats about chown and then chmod?
I will get crazy, its an regular Linux, it cant be hard to root that device.
/cache is writable I think and I regularly run executable scripts from there. You wuold still need to chmod and I do not know how that would work.
This may be a super n00b question, but I previously ran a MoDaCo ROM, and was able to use the A2SD instructions from code.google.com to get my apps to store to the SD. Today I upgraded to Fresh 2.0d, (which is awesome btw) and no matter what I do, it seems that downloading apps keeps using my system memory. here is the output of busybox df -h

Is there a step that I'm missing somewhere? My use% on the /data partition seems to keep going up.
Thanks in advance for the help!!

1. Remount the drive by typing this command: adb remount
2. Enter the phone shell: adb shell
3. Type ls -l /data to get a directory listing of /data
4. Look for an entry named app. If the following is to the right of the entry, a2sd is running: "-> /system/sd/app"
5. If not, type the following commands:
cp /data/app/* /system/sd/app
cp /data/app-private/* /system/sd/app-private
rm -r /data/app
rm -r /data/app-private
ln -s /data/app /system/sd/app
ln -s /data/app-private /system/sd/app
That should, hopefully, fix your issue.
Wow.. Thank you sooo much. I'm still in the early learning stages of Linux and android, so I needed that direction. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out^^

Fresh 2.0d A2SD Apps not being moved out of internal memory
I have HTC HERO, Fresh 2.0d rom, 16gb sd card and RA 1.6.2. I have partitioned sd, created ext2, converted ext2 to ext3 and installed rom and apps. All apps load and function but they are being put into internal mem and copied rather than moved to sd\apps. Memory check shows internal and sd memory decreases with installation of apps.
Here's a screen shot of my command prompt showing that Apps and Apps Private are being reassigned to sd card properly:

Please let me know what I can do to get A2sd working properly on Fresh 2.0d rom whether its a manual or auto version or any other fix. I use lots of apps and I am getting low memory warning from the system.
Thanks
Same problem here. Please help
Easy fix. just flash Tkirton's Darktremor A2SD zip in recovery. Works perfectly. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670087
What do you type in the terminal to make it show that infomation?

That will give you a directory listing.
I installed apps2sd 2.5 and my internal memory went from 50 to 129.
Darktremor A2SD version 2.6.1
I get fielded with a lot of questions that ask "How can I verify if the Apps2SD (or a2sd) is working correctly." And many people, including myself, have written message after message regarding how you can check to see if your data is on the SD card.
I'm not complaining, mind you...I personally like the attention. But, I'm also trained from various programming jobs that require a lot of support (the one I'm currently at is a good example). When I see a lot of people asking the same questions, I think to myself "there's got to be an easier way to do this." That's when I start working on a program solution to the issue.
For those of you who are new to Apps2SD, here's what you do:
1. Follow the installation instructions on the first message in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670087
2. Once you are in the shell, type /system/bin/a2sd check. A report will print on your screen telling you if you have issues with your A2SD setup.
3. If you do run into issues, you can fix them easily by typing /system/bin/a2sd repair.
4. If nothing is setup, try running the installer again: /system/bin/a2sd install

Now, if you do decide to run the stock A2SD, or any other variant, here's how you check that version (this will also work for any version of Darktremor A2SD):
1. Setup your SD card. (Follow the steps If you have not setup your SD Card: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670087).
If you are using the A2SD that came with the kernel, you don't have to do step i. If you are using another version besides Darktremor, follow step i, but put the file you got from the A2SD provider on the SD card).
2. While still in recovery, flash the A2SD you obtained as you would a normal ROM. If you are using the included A2SD for your particular ROM, skip this step.
3. Reboot the phone and allow the phone to completely load.
4. Enter a phone shell by typing in a command window: adb shell
5. Type the following in adb shell:
cd /data/app
pwd
If you get /system/sd/app returned, then A2SD installed correctly. If you get /data/app, A2SD did not move the data.

You can manually move the data yourself by typing the following commands:
mkdir /system/sd/app
mkdir /system/sd/app-private
chmod 777 /system/sd/app
chmod 777 /system/sd/app-private
cp /data/app/* /system/sd/app
cp /data/app-private/* /system/sd/app-private
rm /data/app
rm /data/app-private
ln -s /system/sd/app /data/app
ln -s /system/sd/app-private /data/app-private
1. Flash the Darktremor A2SD 2.6.1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670087
2. Reboot
3. Once the phone reboots, go into your phone (adb shell) and type:
/system/bin/a2sd cache
That will move the dalvik-cache. Once the move is complete, reboot the phone.

I have HTC HERO, Fresh 2.0d rom, 16gb sd card and RA 1.6.2. I have partitioned sd, created ext2, converted ext2 to ext3 and installed rom and apps. All apps load and function but they are being put into internal mem and copied rather than moved to sd\apps. Memory check shows internal and sd memory decreases with installation of apps.
Here's a screen shot of my command prompt showing that Apps and Apps Private are being reassigned to sd card properly:

Please let me know what I can do to get A2sd working properly on Fresh 2.0d rom whether its a manual or auto version or any other fix. I use lots of apps and I am getting low memory warning from the system.
Thanks

Hey i just got finished installing A2SD 2.6.1 and i have a class 2 16gb sd card and my internal mem is reading like 74/159, is that normal?
I DID install the correct version for class 2 cards
and i did your /system/bin/a2sd check
and it looked like everthing checks ok
In A2SD status report i got this
[*] /data/app link active
[*] /data/app-private link active
[*] /data/dalvik-cache NOT active
No Cache flag file present
[X] Swap partition NOT present
i read that the other guy had 100+ mb free after A2SD and i also remember back on 1.5 when i had tried it out i got similar numbers.
Anything else i can do to maybe check if i did everything alright?
or maybe already know why im getting still such a low internal mem?
you should check out the GUI version of apps2sd http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670098
2.5 just crashed my phone, the GUI version not only fixed all my problems but it sped everything up signaficantly. Im not an expert with computers either so this was very easy to use
You picked up the one that doesn't activate the cache on boot. Just type
/system/bin/a2sd cache in adb shell.

Wow...and you didn't even give me a chance to fix it.
Treve uses a GUI to set things up. Other than that, the basic concept is the same (it's based on my earlier Darktremor A2SD, which itself is based on the original Cyanogen Apps2SD). It pretty much follows the same method to move files as I do. His is easier to setup if you are new at this. I try to make mine automatically set things up.
Nothing is wrong with what he's doing...it's definitely a different way of doing it and, as long as it works, more power to him.
I'm getting pretty far along building CyanogenMod for the GTablet on Mandriva Linux x86_64, I pulled the latest source and did the following from a bash shell:
Code:
cd device/nvidia/harmony
./extract-files.sh
cd ../../..
cp ./vendor/cyanogen/products/cyanogen_harmony.mk ./buildspec.mk
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch cyanogen_harmony-eng
cd vendor/cyanogen
./get-rommanager
./get-google-files -v hdpi
cd ../..
make -j6 CYANOGEN_WITH_GOOGLE=true bacon
I'm wondering if I should have gotten the mdpi-tegra google apps instead? get-google-files requires the following change if so:
Code:
FILENAME=["gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip","gapps-mdpi-20101020-signed.zip","gapps-mdpi-tiny-20101020-signed.zip","gapps-mdpi-tegra-20101020-signed.zip"]
VERSIONS=["hdpi","mdpi","mdpi-tiny","mdpi-tegra"]
then do:
Code:
./get-google-files -v mdpi-tegra
Has anyone gotten this working?
I'm almost 100% positive that you cannot use HDPI gapps. MDPI gapps are the ones that you need to use for CM6.1 for this device.
Good to know, I just got it built but now clockwork doesn't see the update-cm-6.1.0-Beta4-Harmony-signed.zip on the sdcard?!? I can mount and verify the .zip from linux, the file should be in the root directory, correct?
Weird, I tried copying over the clockwork update.zip and recovery/ dirs, now I can see LOST.DIR but nothing else from the recovery install from sdcard option...
Dumb question....but did you mount the sdcard? I've seen that happen if the card is not mounted to /sdcard
Possible /sdcard and /sdcard2 mount confusion?
Nope, from adb shell I can see /mnt/sdcard with the files (which match md5 checksums):
Code:
# ls -lF /mnt/sdcard
d---rwxr-x 3 system sdcard_r 4096 Jan 25 06:51 Android/
d---rwxr-x 2 system sdcard_r 4096 Jan 25 06:51 LOST.DIR/
d---rwxr-x 2 system sdcard_r 4096 Oct 29 2010 recovery/
----rwxr-x 1 system sdcard_r 83928334 Dec 5 2010 update-cm-6.1.0-Beta4-Harmony-signed.zip*
----rwxr-x 1 system sdcard_r 4003082 Nov 9 2010 update.zip*
Is there anything special that needs to be done with permissions? I did have to repartition the sd card, somehow it got really messed up when I tried formatting it from the tablet's setup app.
edit: I found out that the .zip needs to be on /mnt/emmc (which I guess shows up as sdcard from clockwork recovery).
Here is a little tutorial for disabling LG RCT (Root Checker Tool), this currently has not much use for the avg. user since it does not impact performance as far as i know, but this might help other Developers. This Requires the System Partition to be writable, e.g. with SystemRW tool.
Required:
Unlocked Bootloader (Obviously)
SystemRW Mod
Disable DM-Verity (AVB) (Will be disabled by the SystemRW Mod)
Part 1:
1. adb shell, pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.lge.rctprovider
2. adb reboot bootloader, Fastboot erase rct
Reboot to System
3. adb shell, pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.lge.srtc
4. Edit /system_ext/etc/init/init.lge.system_ext.service.rc (copy to storage, rename to txt and remove that completely:
########################################
# LG RCT(Rooting Check Tool)
########################################
service rctd /system_ext/bin/rctd
class late_start
user root
group root
seclabel u:r:rctd:s0
)
5. Remove .txt extension and copy back to original place (Keep old permissions on file: rw-r--r--) and reboot
Now the RCT Service is stopped.
--------------------------------
Part 2:
1. Delete /system/system_ext/app/RctProvider Folder and /system/system_ext/bin/rctd file
2. Delete /mnt/Product/Persist-LG/RCT Folder
Done, how to check if it is disabled? "Adb shell", "su" and "getprop | grep rct". If it shows nothing as output that means the service is not running. After that check the service menu *#546368#*600# > SVC Menu > LG RCT (Has to say Disabled)

how to do
怎么弄
Thanks a lot for the guide!
I don't have a linux workstation around and decided to edit the init.lge.system_ext.services.rc file and copy it back using Total Commander. Total Commander can remount the file system as r/w, but for whatever reason any file I create in /system/etc/init has "0" size. I tried to save init.lge.system_ext.services.rc under a different name in the same folder and it became empty. I can delete or create a new file but all my files have zero size.
I also tried to remount the /system as r/w using "mount -o rw,remount /" command from adb shell. It sort of works, I can change the permissions for files and folders but again, I can't edit files. I even tried vi editor from the adb shell (busybox vi ...) and while it doesn't complain about the r/o file I still can't add anything to it.
Here is a result of the "ls -la" command after I changed permissions to 777 for init.lge.system_ext.services.rc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-12-31 16:00 init.lge.system.on_post_fs.rc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 429 2008-12-31 16:00 init.lge.system.on_post_fs_data.rc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 260 2008-12-31 16:00 init.lge.system.on_property.rc
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2021-12-07 16:19 init.lge.system.services.rc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4674 2008-12-31 16:00 installd.rc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1104 2008-12-31 16:00 iorapd.rc
Just wondering if anyone have a solution to that. Thank you.

Oh I did read it, just was wondering if I can find a way around.
But from the file system perspective I don't understand how I can create an empty file or delete it but in the same time can't update the content.
What I did actually killed the RCT service, while it also killed a couple of other (useful) services listed in the services.rc. file. The phone works OK so far, I don't see anything strange though. I do have a copy of the original file and will copy it back once I have a linux setup on my PC.
Can someone upload the text for init.lge.system_ext.services.rc I accidentally deleted the whole thing when I saved.
I don't have com.lge.srtc
is it different on the verizon version?

are you getting
Code:
systemrw: Error! failed to create super_fixed.img file. Error code: 73
Yes error 73 is normal. I actually have created a better tutorial for this and I'll be updating it today.
I don't have a /system_ext
I do have a /system/etc/init
but I don't have init.lge.system_ext.service.rc
On v60_TMO that was crossflashed from v60_AM, I did the system_rw mod.
I was trying to follow the instructions here and ran the uninstall.sh from here, but that didn't work for me either.
*Edit: I found that the file for mine is /system/etc/init/init.lge.system.services.rc
I also don't have the directories from part 2, but part 1 seems to have *stopped the rct service.
