[Q] Help Me to Use Data2Ext in IcySnap v1.6 ROM (neko 95's ROM) - Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi....... :fingers-crossed:
​
I guess everyone here have known about the Great ROM called ICY SNAP (thanks to Neko for that such great ROM ). :good:
But i miss the tutorial how to use the Data2ext Feature on it ?
First of all.. Before using a data2ext we should have a partition on our SD-Card, isn'it ?
So that we can use that partition to use the Data2ext and move our app/data.​
My question is :
1. How to create a Partition on my SD-Card with the safest way.
2. And after we create it, what should we do next ?
3. I read from the Icy Snap Thread notice, we may activate the Data2ext via Terminal Emulator Command. And after i do the 2 step above, may i just activate it through it ?​
Thanks in Advance for your great Help and Answers. :victory: :angel: ​

Boot in recovery mode. Now select "Partition sd card", Next select Partition sd then set swap size= min 64MB(recommended by neko), Set ext-size= As you want and confirm thats it.
But backup your sd card before bpartitioning since it will be formatted during the process.

Partitioning Problem (Please help)

Hi there first of all sorry for my wrong section and double post but in general forum nobody helped me.
My problem is:i partitionate my 4gb sd card via cwm recovery(512 ext-256swap).
Format cache partiotions.(cwm)
Format sd card.(cwm)
After that i create a fs.data2sd with mmcblk0p2 insde in sdcard/android/data/g3mod.
I install link2sd application but when i start it it tell me that my ext is not mounter.
In Cwm recovery when i press mount sd-ext it gave me an error(i think is:``the file exists already`` or something like this).
In settings/storage my phone tell me i have a 3gb card...so i think partition is done succefully..
So can someone explain what i need to do further.
Thanks alot for you help and i am glad to be member of Xda!
edit:now my sd card is stucked at 3gb how can i extend it back to 4gb?
mod Edit : thread CLOSED u cant do a dual post u need to be patient when posting
use the general or the Q&A(this is a stiky)
Just unmount your card from SdCard and Internal space menu and then format it.
or else you can also format it from CWM recovery.

This is to format ur sd card to get the 3.6.....gb space back...

First of all Mini partition is basically used to convert partition...
I'll tell you my way by which I create partition.
1. Boot into Recovery->advanced->partition SD card.
2.ext->256, swap-> 128 or 64.
3. Wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache....reboot.
4. phone will take 10 to 15 min.
This trick work on kyrillos 7, if you are on any other ROM like sumee 4 then just cope the fs.convert file in fugumod folder on sd card.
I tested this on both roms....you can check the app2sd partition on titanium back up as well as in internal memory in settings.
That's it man....enjoy.

help with darktremor a2sd

i really don kno how to use the a2sd on fitdroid v2.0
can someone plz help?
Dude, ull first have partition your sd card. Then only u can use darktremor apps to sd. To partion your sd card, go to recovery mod>advanced>partition>and then select the size of partition. Atleast 512mb of partition is recommended.
After doing that,reboot ur phone and now a2sd should work without any issues!
Feel free to ask if u still have any problem

maybe this coud help you
IF U WANT DARKTREMOR A2SD TO WORK THEN U HAVE TO PARTITION UR SDCARD.
TO PARTITION FIRST TAKE BACKUP OF UR SDCARD AS IT NEEDS TO FORMAT UR CARD WHICH WILL ERASE ALL UR SD CONTENT.
IN CWM MENU GOTO ADVANCED MENU.
SELECT PARTITION SDCARD.
SELECT SIZE U WISH(512 or above) AND SELECT 62 or above AS SWAP VALUE.
WAIT FOR SOME TIME AND RESTART UR DEVICE....
TO CHECK A2SD WORKING OR NOT GOTO APP DRAWER MENU AND OPEN A2SDGUI APP AND CHECK APPS ARE ON SD IS ENABLED....
if it is active, you can move the Dalvik cache to sd card by selecting the Dalvik cache on SD-EXT and press Move button and reboot phone

tried that, did not work

hi, i tried all of this as you mentioned...
eventually, this darktremor a2sd stopped my apps from being moved at all and it kept on saying that i don't have enough memory... though i know i should have... any thoughts??
Okay, a question from me...
Is it possible to have this swap setup in the stock gingerbread rom (ddkq5)???
Can anybody give a step-by-step tutorial, or maybe just a link, along with a list of all the necessary apps/other stuff that will be needed..??
I have a 16gb memory card in my galaxy fit...
Sent from my GT-S5670 using XDA App
I run Creed´s ROM 1.5 and there is also Darktremor included.
I thought SD was automatical formatted with ext4 by installing it. So I am a little puzzled to see, that moving to SD does not work as well as swap option.
Could you tell me, what is the matter?^^
Edit: Found out by my own, followed the same steps as mentioned above for FITDroid. Works on Creed´s ROM 1.5 as well. Only Disadvantage I found was it reduces my 8GB SD to 4096MB (couldn´t select higher at CWM) also after moving Dalvik, system boot seems to loop .. had to recover (good I did before )

use your sd card for more space
zerofill tar sounds to me like:
writing lots of "0" to the internal sd?
-> equal to a format of /system?
-> system is gone, mobile doesnt boot
-> all data lost?
Checked the features of kyorarom and what do I see...
Hybrid Data2SD and SD card swap
Why dont you use that feature?
Ah... I see... you didnt create an ext4 partition?
Thsi partition is needed for the feature above!
how to:
Create an ext4 partition via CWM
using this feature will move all user apps to sd card
have a fast card on your side and make a backup of your sd card data
-> all data will be lost on sd card when you repartition your card!!!!!
I think u r facing 0.0kb internal memory bug... if so flash with data.rfs
If not, go to recovery, wipe dalvik cache... format sd ext.. mount data... and mount sd ext

hmm when i put my sdcard in it and reboot my phone says 0.0kb internal memory when i reboot without sdcard i got 100mb free agian so i dont no what to do
put the sdcard in PC and check the card if its working
backup data
delete all partitions on sdcard
put card in mobile
boot into cwm
repartition the card
check the space
just a thought:
could it be, that the sdcard is only full?
or defective?

The sdcard works fine i can see all my stuff when i have it in my phone but i wil try that empty my sdcard and i will make backup from it to my pc i hope this works
oh... a second please...
I remember something right now...
In my very early days (ECLAIR flashing) I remember that someone had also space 0.0 MB
And afaik the solution was to flash the CSC file (?) or something like that again...
That was the reason in these days why I flashed all (!) firmware versions from
xxjg7 to xxjk1
well... in froyo days...
I know that this posting is not very helpful, but you might find something similar with these hints in the net...
Hope this helps forward
Flashing zero fill should solve to 0.0kb problem, it formats everything on your phone, then flash a rom over it. If doesn't work, backup your SD card and format your sd ext and your whole SD card.

hey guys i am new i really want to know if some one can fix r there's way to fix problem i.e
in creeds rom v2 dalvik-cache move to sd dont work i m stuck on boot loop for hours n i need a solution as in v1.7.2 i had 125 apps now i cant even install 50 of them....plz help.
maybe there's no ext4 partition?
no coz in v1.7.2 i made partition and of 512mb and moved dalvik-cache to sd and 64mb swap but a2sd is working well in v2 jus the move to sd function is not working as described by mr.creedo himself in the thread...n m still using v1.7.2 with sd-ext...
i think its coz of either rom or the kernel coz v2 is based on cmptly new firmware but in v.1.7.2 it is giving no such problem.
try link2sd...
Dalvik cache to sd is not working for now.Even i tried to do so but it din't work and i had to reflash. May be creed will come up with a solution

Het guys please becarefull about the partition thing..
Because its very risky and you better have backup of your sdcard ane save that backups at your PC or notebook..
Some of my friends has been loosing all of his data because of it.
When u first time partitioning sd card, it will remove all your sd card stuff ofcourse. Just put it on desktop and move back when partition is done.

Enter Recovery Mode by holding POWER + HOME;
With the Volume Down key (-) and High Volume (+) and navigate to the HOME key Select "advanced";
Select "partition SD Card"
In the next window you should choose the partition size.
If you have a 2GB card to advise you put 512mb 1024mb,
If you have a card with 4GB or 8GB advise putting 2048mb.
And finally select the size of the swap partition for extra memory.
If you have an urge to put 2gb card 128mb,
If you have a card with 4GB or 8GB advise putting 256mb.
enter the Market and install the program Links2SD
to open the program you should choose ext3 and press ok> then superuser permission> and after that restart your phone.
Now press the Options button to display the sub-menu of the program

I wouldn't recommend swapper...
long story short, it'll start affecting performance...and do more bad than good...
swap partition is basically virtual ram...but the problem with this is, our phones ram is fast, while even the best of sd cards can't match that...
so you may get better performance initially, but soon you'll regret having a swap partition...

For this you don't need s-off (which anyway you can't do). Just use recovery (you already have that) and create partition. If you are using cwm, in advanced menu there is option 'repartition sd card', just follow the steps, and remember this will erase all your info from the sd, so it's better to back that up. Also you can create partition using pc with "mini tool partition wizard" google it. Another thing don't make ext partition bigger than 2GB and don't create swap partition.
That's it. Have fun
Edit: @Saumitra Yadav- damn you are fast , but what you explayned is........ why create another partition, sd card is already fat partitioned? (Maybe I'm wrong but I think link2sd also works with ext)
Edit2: Yes it needs second partition which can be fat32, but it also can be ext, so just make ext

Using cwm the partition created is ext3 which cannot be mounted on stock Rom .. so create a Fat32 using minitool partition wizard

first time in your post, I saw op's cm10, and forgot that possibility that actually stock rom doesn't support ext.
There was very long time ago when my phone haded stock rom.
already tried creating it...get an error saying that mount script cannot be created.
link2sd faq quote :
Q. I get "Mount script cannot be created. cannot create /system/etc/install-recovery.sh: not enough memory" error.
Some HTC devices are "NAND locked". On "NAND locked" (or "S-ON") devices the /system partition is write-protected by the bootloader and thus cannot be modified even if you have root privileges.
In order to use Link2SD you need to do "S-OFF" to disable this NAND lock. (a.k.a. "NAND unlock" or "unlocking the bootloader")

Make different partitions each time and see which mounts

Its not your fault. What i can understand, is that the CM10 rom you are using, most probably doesnt support MEM Script.... You need a ROM that has init.d and Busybox support... Check if it has or not!!!
Press THANKS if it helped!!!:good:
Download pimp my rom from play store
Using it get init.d support if rom has
Then use m2sd(no config needed)
Then reboot twice
Hit thanks if helped
