Team Whiskey (ext 4 native sd card possable with this?) - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Dev question since u 2 built the rom and kernel.
Curious as to changeng the fstab and recovery.fstab for the sd cart from vfat to ext 4 and formating the card as ext 4 and remounting. Is there support in the file system for this? Just curious as to trying to find ways to get ext 4 sd card support on boot for the instant mount's and no more scanning sd cards
and this seems to be the most logical way to add sd card ext4 support without the need of programs are makeing 2 partitions.
like adding and or changeing to
/dev/sdb1 /media/sd ext4 users,iocharset=utf8,umask=000 0 0
or
/dev/sdb1 /media/sd ext4 auto,exec,rw,async,user 0 0
for mount speed increase for asynchronous writing

That would be the idea IF this is actually possable without risking killing the card and or phone or both. It opens up alot of possablies hummm swap files ram disks bla bla bla.. Or just really fast file system without the damm limitations of fat 32
I just dont have access to my linux box for a bit so i cant test this at home Or I would do it myself and post results.

[HOW TO] format sd card with paragon partiton manager

So I decided to make this small guide, on how to partitioning your sd card with paragon partition manager… There is many different ways, including a script an xda forum member created, and ubuntu as well.. But I assume paragon partition manager might be the best for all people who don’t know how to use Linux very much..
i wrote it on my blog, if is considered spam than illtry to put the images content directly in the post
http://nitropr.us/web/2009/05/08/format-sd-card-with-paragon-partition-manager/
hope it helps some one.. i know i know there is MANY ways for this.. but well sicne paragon question keep popping up and did not see a small how to with images for new users so hope it helps least 1 person
Thanks! That will be useful for many... this should be sticky along with the sapphire/magic port (after someone starts a new thread for the newer builds. 600 pages!) Or at least a wrap stick (a thread that contains many highly used threads like in the developement and hacking section under the main thread) would be useful.
i think this is the easiest way. I did this to my card and took only a few min. def the way to go.
its a good guide, but i have a question everytime i try to format this way in paragon it says cannot create partition because all primary slots are taken, it says this when i try to resize or create new. any ideas?
Ok I resized my card using paragon my fat32 is 5gb and my EXT2 is 1.5gb. I went and tried to follow these instructions http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Haykuro_Apps_to_SD and for some reason I am not seeing the system/xbin/busybox folder.

A few things here:
1. Unless you're planning on downloading every app ever made, you're never going to need a ext2 partition larger than 500mb, and even that is a LOT. I tried to fill my partition and managed to squeeze over 300 apps on there before I ran out of room...then I had to painfully uninstall them all cause I didnt feel like reformatting/reflashing/restoring.
2. Make sure you're using the right version of apps-to-sd. Haykuro's latest builds can be found here. The apps-to-sd versions are linked at the very top of the page.
3. The directories you're looking for are NOT on the sd card. They are only visible on the phone through adb. If you're not familiar with adb, do a quick forum search on how to set it up.

when uiu partition via usb cable the partition tend to mess up.. and not moutn o n the phone..
what you can do is, insert the sdcard check min my computer under management and assign a letter to th sdcard so the pc will read it mount it
Thanks will look into the adb issues but I am using the 5.0.2Hr apps to sd build.

[MOD]Creating EXT4 Partition for sgs4g

Hello wonderful sgs4g community, i hope you are all excited about all our new stuff as i am. Anyways now that drhonk has built ext4 into our kernel we can now go ahead and do SOME ext4 mods. here is the guide on how to create an ext4 partition so that you can use the link2sd app so:
A:you can have an ext4 sdcard filesystem
B: create more internal space for your apps(takes away even more bloat)
Here is what you will need:
A computer
MICRO ADAPTER or USB CABLE to plug into the computer
drhonks new 2.1 bali kernel
mini tool partition wizard(or any other program that does this) you can find it here: http://download.cnet.com/Partition-...62200.html?part=dl-6285158&subj=dl&tag=button
link2sd apk you can find that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919326
Now go ahead and mount your sdcard to computer with the micro adapter
go into mini tool and click on your sdcard
press move/resize
go ahead and resize from 256mb 512mb or 1g off from your original size
THE UNALLOCATED WILL BE THE SIZE OF YOUR NEW PARTITION
now go to the unallocated amount and press create partition
make sure that you do ext4 and make sure it is PRIMARY not logical!!!
press apply!
bam you go ext4
now put your sdcard back in and go to link2sd
it will tell you to go into recovery and mount your sdcard
sooooo
go into cwm and go to mounts and storage then make sure you have your sdcard say UNMOUNT
reboot
go back into link2sd and click ext4 when it pops up,
NOW move all the files THAT ARE NOT SYSTEM FILES(which it wont let you do anyways) and your all done
afterwards you should have from 375mb to 440mb of free internal space
have fun
Thanks to:
Fknfocused for pushing me to do this
drhonk for the kernel ext4 patch
wizard(i saw he did the link2sd first so i decided to do it)
and the rest of the community for being awesome
Thanks brotha! im doing this right now.

[Q] - Move to SD enabled for (almost) all apps by?

Noticed today I'm able to move almost all of my apps to SD and not just the supported ones without having done anything but installing a rooted stock ROM and some standard goodies (SU, BusyBox, ROM Manager and Titanium Backup). Wondering if it was enabled by any of the above? the rooted ROM? or the stock ROM?
any takers?
Titanium backup, in "batch", has option to move all apps to either sd or internal memory.

you all need to check out link2sd (free app) it will let you install apps to ext partition. I myself use it and have a 8gb ext3 partition with over 550+ apps/games installed. It also lets you decide if you want to move dalvikcache and library files to ext to save more internal space. I used mini tool partition app on my pc to create a larger ext partition then cwm would allow.

WIP Memory Address Listing
You need to know where to put and access the data, explicitly, in order to be able to use that location.
Android does this by using mount-points, which translates to the memory address where it should be looking for the information.
The thread I linked to is one I started so that we can discover them all, and what mount points correspond to what memory address.
Please make sure to read post number 8 in the thread by dhkr234 which spells out a good caution about using memory addresses directly and why you should be using mount points instead.
If anyone makes any headway in learning anything we don't know so far, please post it in that thread so we can get a comprehensive listing of mount points and what memory addresses they correspond to.
I've been extremely busy on other projects, but if someone is going to come by and make A2SD available for us, having a road-map for them to follow already sitting here will make their life a lot easier. ( ...and maybe encourage someone to do it because the info is sitting there. )
...and yes, it is specific to our device. Every device addresses the internal memory differently and that makes the mount-points unique to each and every device.
gotcha, so...piecing this all together, does that mean that a true A2SD shouldn't rely on symlink at all and Link2SD (what d12unk13astard recommended) is essentially just another hack?

The real A2SD is not "just another hack," it's one of the ORIGINAL post-root hacks pioneers like JesusFreke came up with. It allows you to put your apps on an EXT partition of your SD card, and you can resize that partition if your computer runs a Linux distribution.

dhkr234 said it good there.
I linked so someone who wants more of an explanation can follow and read up.
In short, you can very easily write to the wrong memory address.
This means:
Installing some silly game over parts of both your boot partition and recovery partition would give you a cool slide-paperweight.
Mount points prevent this from happening by ensuring the data is written to the proper memory addresses.

[Q] partition sd card

sorry for noob post but i havnt been able to understand all this with all the posts iv read
Iv been looking into installing apps on the external sd card and i came across "partitioning sd card" and a whole bunch of other vocabulary, so iv got a couple of questions.
1. can someone explain to me the basics of this?
2. define ext2, ext3, ext4, fat32, swap size, (there might be a bit more i jsut cant think of any right now)
3. do u reccomend doing this with cwm? iv come across a few posts where people have been saying thing could brick your phone
4. apperntly cwm has some built in partition? i dont really know..
5. how would I do this this with cwm?

EXT4 is the file system (like FAT or NTFS but for Linux based). Swap is the partition used sort of like ram (just slower) in the way that temporary files are stored there for quick access.

I think people mentioned to do it through clockword mod? I think I've seen an option down there.
I have no idea why you'd want to, though. I can't really see any benefit and it would only complicate things.
Only reason to partition sdcard to have an ext partition is for people like me that have way too many apps to install that normally wouldn't fit on the g2x's internal storage. Even putting apps to SD wouldn't allow my setup of over 600 apps to my phone without an app called link2sd, currently rocking a 12gb ext3 partition on my 32gb class 10 Lexar sdcard. Call me crazy but I love having all my apps available any time I need, my phone is a beast I tell ya, with all the stress I put in it its still blazingly quick!

I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong section, feel free to move it if so. I have a Samsung Galaxy Prevail 2 that I would like to swap memory with (internal to external) so that there is more room on my phone for apps. I have tried a few programs from the play store, and so far I'm having no success. My phone is rooted, and has SU access. It's running android 4.1.2 (ICS?) and the model number is SPH-M840. ANY help on this matter would be GREATLY appreciated.This has been driving me crazy, and there has to be a way to do this with my phone...right? Thank you!

Like2SD was the first program I tried. When I go to move an app to the SD card, it tells me:
"app2sd is not supported by your device. Because your device has a primary external storage which is emulated from the internal storage."
I can link the files if I want, but doing that doesn't do much on saving space. Thanks!

Sorry, it did not work. I followed the instructions carefully, and I keep getting the same error that I cannot move apps to the sd card because my device doesn't support apps2sd because my external storage is emulated from internal storage. Thanks anyway, though
Someone, Anyone...please, help!

Hi,
just give one more shot...
repartition your sd card....
first check your kernal support swapping or not with swapper script....
if doesn't support, search for a kernal for your device which support swapping & follow the procedure... it must work...

Assuming you have root, search the store for "FolderMount [ROOT]".

Don't worry, I'm not giving up so easily...there HAS to be a way to do this with my phone. Maybe I should try using a different partition, like ext4 or ext3? I know ext2 is the one that is said to work the most, but it's obviously not working. Do you the partitions have to be set as "active" for this to work? Where can I find the kernal script? Thanks for the help!

Actually, that was the very first one I tried. I followed the instructions exactly and still no luck. That program doesn't really give clear directions on how you're supposed to use it. I tried a few other methods from this message board and still nothing...

Where can I find the swapper script to see if my kernel has swap support?

What's strange about using that method, is when I swap, my memory card changes to 1.96 GB (which is what the internal normally is) but the internal stays at 1.96 GB. So than I have both of my memory, internal and external at 1.96 GB and I have to to uninstall the program and reset my phone for the external to go back to 7.96 GB which is the size of the card I have. It's a scandisk card...do you think that makes a difference?
