I hate to have my 8 gigs of internal storage splitted between data and sdcard, considering that I have a 16gigs external sd, this is a lot annoying. So, checking the partition tree I found out that it should be possibile to merge internal_sd and data partition.
Now, this operation is risky, so I would like to ask if someone (even on other devices) has tryed this and succeded, or any possibile side effects on system behavior.
thanks
any news for this mod?

I'm interested in this too, I want to get my Google Play music off my internal fake "sdcard" mount and onto my actual SD card. Plus I'm tired of running out of space on my "internal storage" and having to move it to the (also internal) "phone storage"...
I've had a look around the forums and there seems to be a few posts on achieving this for other handsets (Samsung Galaxy Ace, HTC One X) but I don't know how applicable the advice on those threads would be for a HTC One SV.

I encountered this problem last night when I got an error saying I needed more storage space.

this was used on my HTC One V for this issue. even though it was only 130mb extra, it still helped.
^^ I was really hoping when I clicked "click to show content" there was a link to a magical program I could install to solve this issue
Lol I'm working on modifying it for this phone. Once I get it working I'll post it
EDIT: all the information I've found on creating the bind of internal storage and app storage seems like it does more damage than good

For what I could understand, the fake partition was made to be used as fat32 filesystem, so that windows could read it as a mass storage device... For me this behaviour is not really useful :/
If we were on a PC I would've erased data and fake sd partition, to make a new data partition... though I don't have the knowledge to do this safely on android.
When I'll know more, I'll do that
Will this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432479 work with our phones?
I am curious where are the people or posts that have done this to their one x phones?
Updated 03.26.14 - Released v2.1 - bug fixes and code cleaned
Introduction:
I am by no means a developer. I am just an android enthusiast who has learned a bit of bash. The reason I made this script was that settings>>wifi>>advanced was not promptly turning wifi off when my device would sleep; sometimes it would not turn off at all. So I figured since I am making a script to resolve this issue I might as well add a couple of other functions as well. To this end I noticed some people saying THIS APP was helpful and I missed the Flush-O-Matic script from V6 SuperCharger so I added fstrim and drop_caches=3 to the script.
Click to expand...

What will this do?
The script will allow you to sync wifi, fstrim, and/or drop_caches=3 with sleep and/or it will allow you to schedule fstrim and/or drop_caches=3 using crond. The scheduling option can work on either a hourly (you can choose to run desired programs every hour on the hour, every two hours on the hour, every 3 hours on the hour, etc) or daily basis (you can choose to run desired programs at a given time on the hour).
Both the sync and schedule options will load themselves in to memory each boot and each time your device goes to sleep and/or when scheduled the scripts will depending on your options: (1) sync your data so as to ensure no data is lost; (2) TRIM your /system, /data, and /cache partitions; (3) DROP CACHES = 3; and (4) turn off wifi.
In addition, there is also an on-the-fly script to manually trim partitions and drop caches when desired.

Benefits:
Reduce lag/improve i/o efficiency (see THIS and THIS).
Although android automatically invokes fstrim when certain conditions are met, these criteria could seldom if ever be met depending upon your usage style. The init.d script should ensure fstrim is invoked more frequently for most users.
Should use less ram than apps that perform similar functions (I say should because I have never used such apps, but I imagine they consume more that .2-.5 mb of ram).

Requirements:

Warning/Disclaimer:
Although these scripts function as intended on my device – Nexus 7 (2013), SlimKat (weekly), ElementalX...Use at your own risk. Neither I nor XDA are responsible for any possible deleterious effects.

Known Issues/Bugs:
If you use the sync option, scripts with a lower priority than Z99 will not execute.
The log files don't always display as intended...dunno why...any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
Let me know if you find any others .

Install, Usage/Verification, & Uninstall:
Install -
Note: If you use crond for other tasks, both the install and uninstall routine account for this potential contigency and should leave your other crond tasks uneffects.
make a nandroid backup
download the zip (<<NOT flashable) attached to this post
extract the zip’s contents
if you were/are using the first version of this script manually delete: /etc/init.d/07TrimDropOff, /data/TrimDropOff_Awake.log, and /data/TrimDropOff_Sleep.log
run TrimDropOffInstaller with superuser permission via terminal or script manager.
follow the scripts prompts
reboot
enjoy
Usage/Verification -
Assuming you have followed the install procedure, next, put your device to sleep and then wake it if you are using the sync option.
Now check the various logs in /data/TrimDropOff. The logs will show the time, the script’s PIDs, the path of the PIDs (just to double-check the PIDs are correct), the ram used by the PIDs, action(s) preformed (amount trimmed from each partition and/or if drop_cahes was run), or errors.
If you want verify manually via terminal do [pgrep -f TrimDrop] for the sync option or [pgrep crond] for the scheduling option to get the PIDs, do [cat /proc/PID/cmdline] for each PID to verify it truly belongs to Z99TrimDropOff or crond, and do [dumpsys meminfo | grep PID] for each PID to verify ram usage (this command will yield duplicates, which can be disregarded and may output undesired additional results, which can be filtered by looking through the results for the relevant PID).
To use the on-the-fly script to trim and/or drop as desired, in terminal do [su -c trimdrop].
Should you want to reconfigure your setup, uninstall before reinstalling to avoid potential issues.
Uninstall -
Note: If you use crond for other tasks, both the install and uninstall routine account for this potential contigency and should leave your other crond tasks uneffects.
Rerun TrimDropOffInstaller with superuser permission and use uninstall option at the beginning of the script.
Reboot and all will be back to as it was before.

Changelog:
v2.0
made in to installer script
added cron options
added bootloop precautions to the init.d scripts (should make it compatible with all devices that meet the requirments)
the on-the-fly script, trimdrop, now allows user to choose fstrim and/or drop_caches=3
added more syncs to further ensure no data is lost
a bunch of other stuff I probably forget
v2.1
bug fixes - fixed issue if using only sync option (missing directory); fixed display of irrelevant errors in uninstall routine
cleaned code a bit (reduced redundancy)

Don't forget to click THANKS and RATE 5 STARS if you found this useful :highfive:.
peep my other script SwapItOn
Update to v2.1 if you were only using the sync option.
If you were using both the sync and schedule options or only the schedule option there is no need to update; the bug I found would not effect you.
reserved...on the off chance it will be needed
Thanks, sounds interesting. I'm assuming the zip can be flashed right after flashing a new rom?

Will performing trimming operations too frequently cause additional flash memory degradation?

As you were informed the zip is NOT flashable. If there is sufficient interest (say a 100 downloads) I'll make it flashable/aroma.

Yes, it should be compatible...the fstrim utility is part of the rom (it should be in all nexus 4.3+ roms).

No, to my limited knowledge it should not be harmful (in fact it should increase lifespan - google "fstrim lifespan"). Did a quick google search but could not find anything definitive/reliable regarding frequency...what I did see seemed to suggest 'no' though.
If you are concerned about the frequency, you could not install the init.d script and just use the on-the-fly script, trimdrop, to trim on-demand. Should there be interest and if I have the motivation and time, I have been thinking about making this in to an installer script and/or aroma zip with cron-based options so it could be scheduled hourly, daily, or weekly.
Scheduling options would be awesome!

Seems there is a decent amount of interest (almost 100 downloads already ...thanks peeps), as such I'll add options and make things more configurable.
Regarding scheduling, I was thinking of doing hourly, daily (with ability to choose time), and weekly (with ability to choose day and time) options. Would every other hour or some other setting be desirable?
Regarding installation, what would be the preferred method, an installer script (e.g. V6 SuperCharger) or AROMA? Flashable zips would be another option, but would have less options/be less configurable.
Gimme some feedback and I'll put something together in the next week or two depending on work and my motivation .
wasn't this a nexus 7 2012 issue and fixed in the new version 2013?

My 2 cents:
I would choose a daily option for my device.
I prefer Aroma over a script, but if you cannot get the customization you want with Aroma, then by all means go with a script.
Thanks again for the script and willingness to make it even better!
Thanks for the scripts, I time my startup, and this improved startup time by about 3-4secs, among other noticible improvements, apparently the stock OS does not run fstrim enough, initial operations freed several gigs on the data partition, and hundreds of megs on the others...

Im going to turn this into a cron job, that will take care of scheduling, unless anyone else gets there first ( please lol )
Will give it a go in its present form, whats its resource footprint just sitting there waiting for screen off ?
Can we trigger the action from the screen off event ? or some other interupt type way ?
Great script by the way, your bash is damn site better than mine, jealous lol

Yes, I think this is true to a degree...it was more of a problem on the 2012 and other nexus devices. See the links in the OP for the conditions that need to be met for fstrim to autorun...for some users (myself included) the conditions will seldom if ever be met. Also see @mdamaged post; I get similar results the first time fstrim is initiated by my script after each boot...subsequent runs normally only frees up memory on /data.

See the first post on this page and my response to @creeve4 and @imfun in this post. I will make an AROMA package with cron options for fstrim and drop_caches=3.
However, should you feel ambitious and beat me to it, props to you...I will give you full credit in the OP and link your post as the d/l source so you should get the 'thanks' too.
Regarding triggering with screen on/off or some other event: It can probably be done, but I it's beyond my knowledge (screen on/off was actually the first trigger event I looked in to using, but despite fairly extensive searching I could not find how to detect it).
Regarding resource footprint: Read the OP (usage section) it explains where to find the log which contains this info and how to do it via terminal (should you not trust me )...also see OP (benefits section): in all my testing I have never seen it use more that .8 mb, but most of the time it is less than .2 mb.
Okay will get to making an AROMA package...it will be my first, but it looks easy enough :fingers-crossed:...gimme a week or two to put it together and fully test.

Can't wait already, because after whole day or two, hard usage of my nexus 7 tablet, the tablet starts to get laggy. I can see this on web browsing, touch press delay time, and onyl rebooting seems to help... Hope after istaling this will solve the problems
ohhh no dont want any credit lol lol, i have turned it into a cron job quite simply by adding it to the cron initilising script

For an aroma script you will prob have to stick the file in /system/etc/cron/cron.hourly, daily, weekly and just give peeps that choice, will be most simple way. Ps not a fan of aroma lol
Ok, I should have spotted this issue right away, but did not, so here goes. It seems the use of while loop in the script in the OP causes any scripts with a lower priority in init.d to never get ran, if the script in the OP is the only one in your init.d this does not matter, nor should it matter if you have at boot script with a higher priority (they get ran before the OPs script).
I run the ElementalX kernel which depends on a init.d to initialize some parameters for the kernel, with this script in init.d they never get initialized, in my case this resulted in some things not 'taking' such as the battery life extender, which on my device, is set to stop charging at 4100mv, however, since the while loop kept the ElementalX init.d from running, it kept charging to ~4300mv, this is how I noticed (actually none of my settings wrt ElementalX were being initialized, but this symptom was most pronounced).
A simple fix would be to move up the priority of the ElementalX init.d script, but this would have to be done after each flash, and frankly since I run Tasker anyway, I saw no need for this, what I did was remove the OPs script from init.d and simply made a very simple task in Tasker to run /system/xbin/trimdrop when display goes off, it could just as easily be a time event.
Anyways, hope that helps someone who may come across this with other kernels, or other at-boot scripts which depend on being ran before the OPs script.
Again, thanks to the OP for his work. Also, I added another sync just before the drop caches, since the state of dirtyness could change after the fstrims.
Is it possible to have the following all at the same time?
- SE Linux permissive Kernel (I use linux on android, so this is a must to mount a loopback filesystem and chroot)
- Encrypted Device
- Encrypted SD Card
- Root Access
Every time I try to do it I lose one of them, its like a game of choose any three of the four.
If I flash the RDDT (nd2) Rom I can get everything except for the SD card encrypted.
If I install the MOAR rom I get everything except for ROOT (I lose root after encrypting the device). Once the device is encrypted I can't flash from TWRP because it can't decrypt either. I would just Towel Root with the MOAR Rom, but it says that the device is not supported.
I even played around with MOAR 2.0 and flashed a different kernel, (the governaa). I think I got all four, but my data/voice modem wouldn't work.
I have played around with the idea of just using an ND2 based rom and just mounting my sd card manually with LUKS, but it'd be awesome if someone has figured this out.
Other approaches that don't work.
If I try cyanogenmod I can get everything except for sd card encryption.
cryptsetup script
I was able to get cryptsetup working so now I can access my external sd card. Here's how it works:
I installed a cyanogenmod 11 rom on my phone, though any se linux permissive rom should do.
I just used "Luks Manager" from the play store in order to get access to a cryptsetup binary.
I wrote a few shell scripts:
crypt_down
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env sh

MOUNTED=`mount | grep $UBLOCK_PATH|wc -l`
if [ $MOUNTED -eq 0 ]; then

umount $MNT_PATH
lm.cryptsetup luksClose $UBLOCK_PATH $MNT_PATH
crypt_up
Code:
#!/system/xbin/env bash
source ./crypt_env
# open block device - unencrypted
lm.cryptsetup luksOpen $BLOCK_PATH $UBLOCK_ID
if [ ! -d "$MNT_PATH" ]; then
echo Creating $MNT_PATH
mkdir $MNT_PATH
fi
HAS_PART=`blkid | grep $UBLOCK_PATH | wc -l`
if [ $HAS_PART -eq 0 ]; then
# format unencrypted as ext4
mke2fs -F -t ext4 $UBLOCK_PATH
else
echo 'Already partitioned, proceeding...'
fi
# mount
echo Mounting $UBLOCK_PATH AT $MNT_PATH
mount -t ext4 -o rw $UBLOCK_PATH $MNT_PATH
crypt_env
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
CRYPTBIN=lm.cryptsetup

Additional notes
Another thing to mention is that for the above scripts to work you must unmount your sd card FIRST.
Does anyone familiar with android know how I could shim this into the 'mount sd card' option in the settings > storage dialog?
It wouldn't be difficult to modify this to run as an init.rc, but better integration with the settings menu would be perfect.
I'm on my phone right now, but maybe a grep of a rom would point me in the right direction.
Any help much appreciated!

If you're using Cyanogen you should be able to use Udev but I'm not sure how it's implemented or really if it still is implemented in Cyanogenmod.
Check this out http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html#external-run
You'd want to use the add Action variable if possible. Either that or just add what you need to load at startup via init.rc which would probably be easier depending on what is going on when you run whatever it is you need to mount the encrypted sd card. I didn't read through your scripts.
Init.d Tweaks
(Needs ROM (Kernel) With init.d Access And Busybox, Open Empty File In Text Editor (Notepad ++ Or Similar), Insert Tweak You Want In Header,Save in /system/etc/init.d and name it Lomething Like 73tweaks)

7. Flags blocks as non-rotational and increases cache size
Code:
LOOP=`ls -d /sys/block/loop*`;
RAM=`ls -d /sys/block/ram*`;
MMC=`ls -d /sys/block/mmc*`;
for j in $LOOP $RAM
do
echo "0" > $j/queue/rotational;
echo "2048" > $j/queue/read_ahead_kb;
done
8. microSD card speed tweak
Code:
echo "2048" > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb;
9. Defrags database files
Code:
for i in \
`find /data -iname "*.db"`
do \
sqlite3 $i 'VACUUM;';
done
9. Remove logger
Code:
rm /dev/log/main
10. Ondemand governor tweaks
Code:
SAMPLING_RATE=$(busybox expr `cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_transition_latency` \* 750 / 1000)
echo 95 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/up_threshold
echo $SAMPLING_RATE > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/sampling_rate
11. Auto change governor and I/O Scheduler
a) I/O Scheduler (Best: MTD devices - VR; EMMC devices - SIO) - needs kernel with these
Code:
echo "vr" > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/scheduler
or
Code:
echo "sio" > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/scheduler
b) Governor (Best: Minmax > SavagedZen > Smoothass > Smartass > Interactive) - needs kernel with these
Code:
echo "governor-name-here" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
12. Move dalvik-cache to cache partition (if it's big enough) to free up data partition space
Code:
CACHESIZE=$(df -k /cache | tail -n1 | tr -s ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f2)
if [ $CACHESIZE -gt 80000 ]
then
echo "Large cache detected, moving dalvik-cache to /cache"
if [ ! -d /cache/dalvik-cache ]
then
busybox rm -rf /cache/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache
mkdir /cache/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache
fi
busybox chown 1000:1000 /cache/dalvik-cache
busybox chmod 0771 /cache/dalvik-cache
# bind mount dalvik-cache so we can still boot without the sdcard
busybox mount -o bind /cache/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache
busybox chown 1000:1000 /data/dalvik-cache
busybox chmod 0771 /data/dalvik-cache
else
echo "Small cache detected, dalvik-cache will remain on /data"
fi
13. Disable normalize sleeper
Code:
mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
echo NO_NORMALIZED_SLEEPER > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
14. GPS.conf
(create or edit your /system/etc/gps.conf with a text editor)
a) European NTP server (replace for america or asia in your case)
Code:
NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
b) SE supl for A-GPS (better than Nokia's or Google's)
Code:
SUPL_HOST=supl.sonyericsson.com
SUPL_PORT=7275

I make and init.d script and i copy your custom values to my init.d script. However, on net speed tweaks, the tcp_rmem and tcp_wmem didn't change the value at all even i edited it. Any help?
Should it be in text file or script file?
So we create a different text document containing each code for each tweak?? Not all In one document in the init.d folder??
Nice write up, bro. Thanks. Will have to try.
Guys so why aren't these enhancing tweaks and buildprop tweaks already available in our phones? Why aren't our phones optimized?
Tweaks good for one person or situation are not necessarily optimal for every case in general .

Thanks for suggesting new Cm12 kernal.
As of cm11, X264 encoding is important for me, plus their were some other minor bugs in that build. Though i agree its the best build compiled rom for Trend.
I will myself start some project after June~July.
What happened to your device though? You are among the few members who are guiding peoples on threads related to this device and i really appreciate it.
