Update #1: The attached zip file now works perfectly
Update #2: Fully Automated: new zip file attached at the end of this post.
Update #3: The creator of the script has released an application.

I found that this script works fine on modded stock roms as well on Cyanogen/AOKP roms. I'm writing a simplified tutorial to get it up and running on your device. This may also work on other devices.
Caution: Although there are no steps that will brick your phone (at the most you need will need to reflash a rom ). Yet, i won't take responsibility for any damage done to your device.
Pre-requisites:
Rooted rom with init.d support (Rooting Tutorial) (Enabling init.d support)
sd-ext partition (Tutorial)
Your kernel should support sd-ext
Installation:
Make a nandroid backup if your want as you may loose data
Download the attached file (View attachment mounts2sd.zip)
Place to zip in the root of your SD card
Reboot into recovery
Select: Install zip from SD card-> <Now select the file your downloaded> ->Install
Reboot your device (May take some time to boot)
If zip file cannot be installed then please leave a comment :fingers-crossed:
Initial Setup:
Download Android Terminal Emulator from Google Play
Open Terminal and type in the following commands one by one: (CAUTION: CASE SENSITIVE COMMANDS, Grant root permissions is asked for)
su
m2sd apps disable
m2sd data disable
m2sd cache disable
m2sd dalvik disable
m2sd dlcache disable
m2sd readahead 512 (512kb is the readahead value suggested for a class 4 sd card. If your have a better card then you may increase this value)
m2sd rmount enable
Reboot your device now (May take some time to boot)
When your device boots up, be sure to check the internal memory size. It should be almost equal to your sd-ext size. Enjoy your extended storage! :highfive::highfive:

Another method: No need for any configuration using terminal. Just download and flash View attachment 1464209. Remember to reboot twice. Enjoy :good:

You can simply install this app from the playstore. (Warning: I haven't tested this!)
Remember to hit thanks if i helped :good::good:

I prefer to use reverse mount feature cause it's faster and you never run into vague internal memory depletion issues.
Zip fails to install.
I'm using TWRP recovery with this ROM, which, I think, has init.d support.

I have not tried this rom but, most probably it does. If it doesn't then this will help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1912324
This ROM had the file.
This ROM already had the file /system/etc/init.d/10mounts2sd on it. I guess that means it already has init.d support. Anyway, I'll re-flash, and try to configure, and report back.
That file fails too.
Flashing that file fails, too. I manually copied the file to init.d, to no avail, on two different ROMS. The one I gave you, and AOKP as well. Flashing the zip also fails on AOKP.
EDIT: Flashing fails on MIUI (this one).
recovery.log attached as recovery.txt.
I cant able to install mounts2sd-4.6.2_installer-signed.zip from sdcard.
it shows Status 0. Installation aborted

I'm really sorry for the bad zip file. I've uploaded a new one. Please download it from the first post. I've tested this one and it should work fine.

After rebooting you need to execute the commands on the terminal as well.
m2sd apps disable
m2sd data disable
m2sd cache disable
m2sd dalvik disable
m2sd dlcache disable
m2sd readahead 512
m2sd rmount enable
Reboot your device now (May take some time to boot)
So after this reboot, I reexcute this commands ?

It will clear any theme you might have flashed and revert to your own custom settings you had before flashing that theme!
THANKS:
All credits and my deepest respect go to Koush for his extremely great code!
Without him 4EXT Recovery wouldn't have been possible!
Biggest thanks possible go to Sebastiaan15 for his brilliant ideas and who spent whole weeks testing my buggy code with his Desire
Without you I could never have made it!!!
So BIG THANKS to SEBASTIAAN15 and KOUSH for his hard work with CWMR !!!
Many credits to the Desire S community ( especially to loveboatcaptain - LBC Mod Android Development and Marylandcookie ) for testing, very nice ideas, feature suggestions and helping to get the code running on the Desire S!
Special big thanks to RAVENNA from android-hilfe.de board for hours of testing for the Desire!
BIG Thanks to Hussainmushahid who helped me a lot spending much of time with solving a bug I could not reproduce on my device.

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.

Thnx Please let me know.
installed and for now it works
just used it to change my rom and wipe cache/dalvik but i'll test ext4 and stuff later today
the weird thing is that it says i have 1gb swap partition but it's in fact the ext4 partition since i use app2sd with lot of apps
Tried using this and at first it detected my ext3 partition and everything seemed fine. I made a backup and chose to convert sd-ext to ext4 on that backup at next restore.
Made a full wipe and restore from the latest backup. After reboot this recovery now detected my sd-ext as a 512MB swap and refused to restore ext-data to it.
I had to go back to CWM 3.1.0.1 and do a full wipe -> restore to get my system up and running again.
Did I do something wrong, or did I not understand how the recovery is supposed to work?
it didn't quite work for me, I'm using RCmix S V2 3.1 test
tried flashing it through ROM Manager Premium v4.3.2.4 (2.5.0.7)
-- Installing: SDCARD:/4EXTRecovery_v1.9_RC1_bravo.zip

it's probably something that I'm doing wrong rather than the program itself though....

Yes, most probably..
To you who are S-ON what do you use? Fake flash?
Sorry I don't know much about the desire.
Regarding the Bug identifying sd-ext as swap: can it be that the partition types are mixed up with some of you? I mean swap not being the LAST one?
I always thought with all those a2sd techinques, you would partition swap at last, i.e: fat32,ext,ext,swap, or fat32,ext,swap, or fat32,swap
If it's possible that you have fat32,swap,ext,ext or something like that, the recovery won't work right!

I don't have swap. I only have one ext partition at 512MB.
The partitions that were detected on my device were initially:
Data - ext4
Cache - ext4
sdcard - fat32
sd-ext - ext3
Then after I tried to convert sd-ext to ext4 using a restore method (supported by the recovery?) my partitions were detected as:
Data - ext4
Cache - ext4
sdcard - fat32
swap - swap
I have no idea what this means.. and I can't really help you with bugtracking coz I need my phone up and running during daytime

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.

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.

I suppose you don't have any sd-ext
This must be a bug of my recovery mod then specific to the desire hd.
Can you please send me your recovery.log? There's an option in advanced menu to copy it to your sdcard...
It is so amazing. It push to the max the way I wanted my phone to be. And to be honest, I love the option to change the color. Adopted.

IMPORTANT: If you updated your system to Android 4.1.2, *DO NOT* flash either _motley kernel, as they are built on 4.1.1 and contain the wrong interface to the power management chip. This will result in a bootloop at the least, and possibly much much worse
What we're doing, here, is turning your n7 into a multitasking muscle-machine, and giving it the I/O throughput to match. These instructions are for the stock ROM, but can be applied to any ROM with a little modification. Enjoy!
Do the OTA update to 4.1.1 (if you're stock and haven't, already), and then......
[KERNEL][GPL][Linaro][OC 1.6GHz][UV][GPU+][ZRAM][SIO+V(R)] 2012-08-10 motley 1.1.1
From that thread, you need:
a) the 1.1.1 kernel of your choice
b) the 1.0.5b kernel with ramdisk (if you're already running a custom ROM with init.d support, you don't need this, nor do you need to create /system/etc/init.d in a future step)
You'll also need:
a) root
b) cwm
c) busybox (absolute must, make sure your symlinks are proper)
d) some type of root-enabled text editor (I use root explorer)
e) a full featured cpu/sd management app (I use System Tuner)
BEYOND THIS POINT, THERE BE DRAGONS. I'm not responsible if you FUBAR your device, but if you follow my instructions to the letter, you won't
0.5) READ THIS ENTIRE POST BEFORE PROCEEDING
1) install cwm and root your tab (if you haven't already)
2) reboot into CWM, flash the 1.0.5b kernel with ramdisk (if you're on stock or a stock-based ROM without init.d support), then immediately flash the 1.1.1 kernel you chose (gpu overclocking is nice and all, but I haven't found a game that doesn't run perfectly with the stock GPU speed of 416MHz..Looks great on benchmarks, though)
3) reboot back into JB, fire up root explorer, remount /system rw, create a folder in /system/etc called init.d (permissions rwxr-xr-x), create a file in it called S90zRAMandSpeedTweaks (permissions rwxrwxrwx), and long-press to open it in a text editor
4) make it look like this:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
#remount /data for faster i/o
mount -o remount,noauto_da_alloc /data /data
#disable fsync (controversial, I've been doing it for years with no real issues)
echo 0 > /sys/class/misc/fsynccontrol/fsync_enabled
#set zRAM size (recommended sizes are 64 and 128, as this compresses an actual block of RAM. Setting it higher will likely impede performance)
echo $((1024*1024*128)) > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
#use busybox to create and activate zram0, if busybox is not in /system/xbin, modify accordingly
/system/xbin/busybox mkswap /dev/block/zram0
/system/xbin/busybox swapon /dev/block/zram0
It's important to leave at least one trailing line in scripts. Just trust me, it's a linux thing.
*NOTE* The above script does NOT check to see if it was successful, but if you copied it directly and installed busybox to /system/xbin then it will work. Once you reboot in a few minutes, you can check by using the command "busybox free" from a terminal emulator or adb shell
5) Save the file, delete the .bak now in that folder, and close root explorer.
6) Open System Tuner, tap on the SD option, change cache to 1024 and scheduler to deadline
7) Tap the Voltage option and hit -25 4 times and save the settings as voltage_table_uv
8) Tap the CPU option and tap Boot Settings. For CPU and SD, set the method to init.d
9) Close System Tuner and reboot your device.
10 Profit/consume butter
It seems like a lot, but it really only takes about 15 minutes if you're a complete rooting n00b, and the end result is a buttery-smooth multitasking powerhouse (that blows iOS *away*). The 100mV undervolt also greatly extends battery life. I haven't had ANY issues at -100mV, but if you do, just increase it by hitting +25 on the voltage tab of System Tuner until you have something that works for you (in fact, you might want to start at -25mV and slowly grow it to -100mV, playing games and checking for instablity along the way)
It's also worth mentioning that if you're currently completely stock, you will need to unlock your bootloader to root and install CWM, and unlocking the bootloader wipes your device (no way around it, unfortunately. Hook your N7 up to your computer and backup the entire contents of /storage/sdcard0 to make restoring your data as painless as possible)
farmerbb's scripts - If you're having trouble getting your scripts to stick, or just don't want to be assed with installing System Tuner, use these! There are three different packages, for 64MB, 128MB, and 256MB zRam setups. Thanks, farmerbb!!
------- Revisions as of 9/1/12 -------
Fixed first line of script so it will actually run
Fixed zRam settings, as zRam is a block of actual RAM, not written to storage
Removed JRummy busybox installer as recommended. Use whichever you like, just make sure your symlinks are good
Awesome guide. Can't wait to try this out!
Thanks for the share..
Sounds good, will try this out tomorrow.
Dont suppose anyone has a copy if 1.0.5? Removed from Motleys OP

Did you run the busybox installer you downloaded from the play store and have it install busybox to /system/xbin?
From terminal emulator, type
busybox which busybox
If it says anything other than /system/xbin/busybox you'll need to modify the script accordingly
Sometime in the next couple days, I'm going to make a cwm-flashable zip that does everything.. I just need to read up on how

Mind didn't work until I ran the script via Script Manager. Download the app, find that zRAM script file you created in the init.d folder, select it, choose script, press the SU & boot icon up top and press Run. You'll see it run in command and say zRAM successful. Press Back and then save it.
For some reason, System Tuner doesn't seem to want to play nice with this script - at least for me.

Adrenaline™ Boost
Description
This script act like an nitro boost for your Android.
It helps you to clear your system cache, get more free ram for you and gravely boost your phone's performance !
*Best use before gaming !
How it works?
Your phone's ram usage will get higher and higher everyday then you will find your ace become an @SS because it's turtle speed and only reboot fix this problem.
Our android os create system cache everyday, but after one day or so, those old caches are not longer in use but the os continuously create newer cache that's why the ram get heavier and heavier everyday !
Adrenaline Boost help you to clear those caches ! So you won't have to reboot again !
For those who have sharp eyes may find your battery life decreased. WHY?
Adrenaline Boost clear your system cache and your cpu will work harder to build back needed cache.
Some have reported to me that the Opera browser crash after boost when open over 3 tabs.
You system need caches to work , this boost is intended to clear old cache that are no longer using and let the system to build new cache, so if u boost it too often , your cpu will be very busy building needed caches and may consume more battery than normal !
Boost it only when it's needed then there will be no problem !
How To Install ?
1) Download from the attachment below
2) Put into your sdcard
3) Reboot into CWM
4) Mounts /system
5) Flash it
6) Reboot
How to Use It?
1) Open terminal emulator
2) Type :su [hit enter]
:boost [hit enter]
How to uninstall adrenaline boost

[SOLUTION] No lockscreen and No power option
Guys most of us encountered a similar problem like this - for no reason the lockscreen and power option menu wont work
sometimes you will get red warning like 'factory mode is on' some features wont work properly
Guys it's because of Corrupted EFS folder
So here is the exact solution to get rid of factory mode into user mode [get back your lockscreen and power option menu]
Its a proven method
You have to root your phone and install Terminal Emulator from Google Play.
Open terminal emulator and type as ;
su
rm /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
rm /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
reboot
You now should not see the that message anymore. Its because of an EFS corruption.
Hope it helps!!!
Time to enjoy 'hurray' i got my lockscreen and power option menu :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Memory Swap Method
External to Internal Memory Swap method :victory::victory::victory:
please follow the steps carefully :laugh::laugh::laugh:
- Download and install the app that i attached here
- open the app and grant permission
- pop up message will appear press'I dont care'
- go to settings:
1.check 'send rescan'
2. check 'Use per default'
- press original mounting point and change as 'sdcard0'
- press Ext.sdcard device Access and change the value from 179:49 to 179:33 its our device access value
- press back button and come to main screen
- check 'At Boot' box
- Now press External>Internal*
- wait till u get a small fraction popup message like 'Android sdcard permission granted' something like this
- Now go to storage option in settings there u will see your ext sdcard is swaped as internal sdcard
- Reboot device to work properly
Guys it works only on JB 4.1.2 and if you dont like to swap just uninstall app and reboot
Use Class 6 or Class 10 Sdcards...I prefer Class 10 :angel::angel::angel:
Dont worry all your apps data will be swaped to ext sdcard so apps will work normally
I swaped my 8gb sdcard as internal memory:
If u use 16gb - internal will be 16gb
If u use 32gb - internal will be 32gb

LineageOS 20.0
lineage-20.0-20230507-UNOFFICIAL-flo.zip
lineage-20.0-20230507-UNOFFICIAL-deb.zip
Known issues:
- We are still Permissive (SELinux)
- Encryption is not working .. Pls do NOT encrypt your /data partition!
- Camera is not fully working .. Only certain Camera apps are working well.
- And maybe more issues .. ?
Installation:
1.) Do factory reset in TWRP - keep internal storage this way.
2.) Format /system partition in TWRP
3.) Install ROM
4.) Install Gapps (optional)
5.) Install Magisk 26.1 (optional)
6.) Reboot into system and start to setup your device.
Gapps:
Mind the Gapps
LiteGapps
TWRP:
twrp-3.7.0_9-1-flo_followmsi.img
twrp-3.7.0_9-1-deb_followmsi.img
Magisk:
Tested with Magisk 26.1
MicroG:
The builds have been patched to support microG !
Android 11/12/13 File-system size:
Flo and Deb device -> 1275 MB -> both devices needs reparition !
Pls check below for more details.
System repartitioning / Opengapps: Error 70
The current system partition is (getting) full !
You need to do repartition your system partition .. either via TWRP package or manually via shell.
It's an one time task.
But the filesystem of the system.img inside the ROM will keep always the same size .. approx. 880mb.
The filesystem does not know the "real" size of the actual partition.
In general .. If you install an image into a partition the filesystem will have the size of the image (in our case 880mb).
The free space we got thru repartitioning needs to be allocated again.
For this reason we need to enlarge/resize the filesystem after each ROM update and/or clean install.
Only the filesystem .. the partition itself will stay untouched.
The automatic enlarge/resize of the filesystem is part of the ROM installer.
There are repartition solutions from @ipdev @Clamor @k23m .. and maybe more.
Made new sysrepart.zip based on the original from @k23m
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76278047&postcount=19
The original code is changing to 1140MB (system) and 260MB (cache).
These days /cache is not used anymore .. a few MB only.
For this reason I have changed the values to 1280 (system) and 120MB (cache) now.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78703434&postcount=1971
In latest version we have changed to 1380MB (system) and 20MB (cache)

sysrepart_1380_20.zip
All the credits to @k23m !!!
Pls check REPIT script from @ipdev .. to get 1480MB system partition .. to be able to install opengapps !

Cool .. go for it
It seems there are some download issues using mobile devices.
Google Mobile version wants to redirected to some ...mobile... link, which is not working.
At least for me.
Also the import into Google Drive App seems not to work.
If you choose "request desktop version" in Chrome mobile settings it should work.
On normal desktop browsers there are no problems.
This issue occurs since a few days .. for "all" my Google Drive projects
Hi I downloaded in Windows 10 and all working atm. More after I test.

ROM seems fully functional. Working well with data and dalvik formatted f2fs.
Your recovery is also functioning well, with the the exception that it takes over a minute to load. Not a problem for me though.
This is related to F2FS .. if you would have ext4 data it will load much more quickly.

After installation, does not go into the recovery (3.0.2)
On version 3.0.3-3, such a problem will not exist?
Which sections have the format f2fs ?, and whether it is possible to add a night mode?

/system/bin/install-recovery.sh
You loose recovery .. this is normal ... if not rooted ..(SuperSU.zip)
The easiest solution is to install SuperSU.zip via TWRP.
Maybe I can remove it for next build .. not sure.
F2FS .. via TWRP
Wipe - Repair/Change file-system ...
Jus install the ROM and test and play yourself

Does micro gapps work with this ROM, or only nano?
Reason I ask is that some things (Face Unlock) don't come with nano and there is no easy way to add that back in that I've found.

Micro gapps works! [emoji6]
I cannot install Gapps 7.1.1 (tried micro and aroma), message saying I am on Android 6.0.1 and need to use proper version. Deb.

I installed open gapps arm 7.1 pico with no problem. Not enough system available space for micro
You can try to resize file system of system partition inside TWRP to get full partition size.
Or use the Update.zip_resizefs_flo.zip inside the download folder.
Works for deb too.
Cheers
Hmmm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Tried the process twice, both times after reboot step, TRWP tells me no OS installed. Suggestions?
Enough space is available for micro. I managed to install it after a few reboots (no clue how). However, having converted data to f2fs, I now cannot write to data from within the ROM (play store crashes on install of any app, webview cannot start a download and camera cannot save photos). Latest rom from yesterday, haven't installed any fstab patches (thought this rom being the next release would not need any patches, am I correct?). Any suggestions?

Keep in mind that all Open GApps installs can be customized so if you want FaceLock you would chose the lowest package with it and them use the config file to remove the rest of the differences.
Also Face Unlock DOES come with Nano BTW, only package without it is Pico.
(Disclaimer: I'm a former Open GApps team member.)
Yes, micro works. It worked with the original ROM by nbehary and it works with this one as well.

Did you fix your problems ?
The fstab has been changed ... you can verify yourself.
Open terminal app ..
Code:
su -
cat fstab.flo
To see the current partitons and there used/mounted filesystems ..
Code:
mount
Pls have a look here ..

F2FS seems to work fine on data - I still use it on cache only.
If you face strange issues, pls start with a fresh TWRP factory reset first.
Cheers

Thanks for the info, I meant pico actually, as all other nougat roms for this device only have space for that package.

Working fine here.
I have the rom flashed and everything looks good with cache and data converted to F2FS. However I am experiencing an odd issue. When i first set up the tablet I sign in with my gmail account and everything looks good. I do a clean setup so nothing restores and download the official gmail from the play store. Once it installs and opens it does not seem to notice that my google account is configured. It asks me to add a mail account and if i put the same account in it says the account already exists. I've factory reset this 3 times trying something different each time thinking maybe I did something dumb. Flashed many roms before and never seen this, any ideas?

dumb question but what does the partition resize change it to? I was looking to find a stock partitioning sizes vs this script chart or explanation.
