Data2SD MOD: Moves /data partition to External SD, noticeable performance increase
All files attached are flashable .zips Installation instructions updated.
clemsyns cpu OC 1800 kernel is out! Good stuff!
Symlink added to /data2 (internal storage now found as /sdcardi)
You will need to disable journaling using the guide in post #3 if you are on CleanROM 2.1 to 2.3
as the rom does this as standard. If not you will get error!
I have had nothing to do with the development of this MOD, all credit goes to TweakerL
Also a huge thanks to scrosler for the fantastic CleanROM
Thanks to clemsyn for the amazing kernel!
Feel free to go to original thread and give your thanks: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803252
and also to seek information, the thread is full of it.
What/Why/How?
This MOD was developed to aid the I/O-issues the Transformer Prime has and the Infinity inherited. Since it was a known fact that the internal
storage was slow/poor, TweakerL decided to try mounting the /data partition to the MicroSD card. Hence an obvious necessity
will be that you have a fast MicroSD card. Several have been tried and there is no real conclution as to what is the best in regards
to manufacturer or class (a class 6 card can have better random write speeds than a class 10 card), I use a Sandisk 64GB UHS-I
class 10 card and so does several others with good results.
The way this works is that you change the ramdisk so that it mounts /data to the second partition of your micro sd. Your internal
storage (the old /data partition) will be mounted as /data2.
Requirements
1. Unlocked and Rooted
2. You MUST repartition your Micro SD. The .zip you flash will mount /data to mmcblk1p2, which basically says "mount /data to the
second partition in the external SD." also, the ramdisk expects that partition to be ext4, so essentially:
Make sure you have an external SD with at least two partitions and that the second partition is formatted to ext4. I use fat32 on the first partition
because it's recognized by most devices.You will also need to make both partitions "primary" partitions. I personally use Gparted to repartition
my stuff, but feel free to use whatever you like. Even if you're on windows you can still use gparted by using virtualbox, or you can use a tool
called MiniTool Partition Wizard, I haven't tried it myself but it is reported to be good.
3. Research your Micro SD, find out if it has good random write speeds. There is no use in this mod if you card is slower than your internal
memory.
4. Although it's not a requirement it is a recommendation to have gone through the Nvflash procedure. It has saved alot of people from bricks
and is just great to have.
5. Verify that the .zip is compatible with your ROM, if it is not listed feel free to ask for a version for your preferred ROM.
Disclaimer
I take no responsibility for whatever happens to your device using this MOD, it is flashing a kernel so take precautions!
Installation
1. Boot to recovery, flash your preferred ROM
2. Reboot to initial setup (Don't run through)
3. Reboot to recovery, flash the matching Data2SD.zip
4. Disable journaling (Optional on all ROMs except CleanROM)
5. Reboot
When it reboots you will get a blue progress bar and it will be just as you flashed a new rom, you'll get the device setup screen.With my
MicroSD I get about twice the Random Write speed with this mod; Internal=0.20mb/s External=0.40mb/s . We will have a look at doubling
these figures further down (I currently have Random write speed average of 0.8mb/s).

Modded Recovery
Enough with the screenshots, I think people know what it's all about by now!
TWRP 2.3.1.0 Data2SD Edition
Modded by flumpster, thanks a million!
Attached is a version of the latest TWRP recovery, the only mod done is changing where
it mounts /data so it backs up the correct partitions!
Backup to External will backup to your first partition (fat32 maybe) and backup to internal will
backup to your ext4/2 partition.It is recommended to back up to external which is the fat partition.
If you backup to internal which is now the ext partition and something goes wrong with that partition
you wont have access to your backup.
Instructions:
You must remove the old twrp settings from your prime for this to work correctly. Delete any
TWRP folders that are in sdcard, data2/media and removable/sdcard. If you have backups there
already that you want to keep leave the backups folder in the TWRP directories and then just
delete the files that are in the root of the TWRP folder to get rid of the settings left behind.
If you are on a windows pc just extract the zip somewhere and run the bat file and then follow the
onscreen instructions. It will flash it for you. If not, navigatate to the fastboot folder, find the .blob
and flash the usual way with fastboot.
I have tested it myself but would love some feedback on this as I am currently the only one testing.
Disabling journaling!
This is a mod that flumpster tested and found to work fine. I have tested it to and it is fast as a shark. It is somewhat
controvertial though, someone thinks disabling journaling on the ext4 file system could cause crashes. Also if you are
plagued with random reboots it can cause data loss. I've been running it for a couple of days without issues and getting fantastic results.
Here is a description on how to do it if you want to try:
To Disable Journaling in EXT4
Go into TWRP and then open a command prompt on your computer where adb is.
Type adb shell and enter it then type the following commands one at a time.
umount /data
umount /sdcard
e2fsck -f /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
tune2fs -O ^has_journal -c 1 -i 1d -m 0 /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
e2fsck -f /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
Watch out for the fourth line, after tune2fs - that is a capital O not a zero. The one further along the line is a zero.
To check if it has worked type the follwing after them
tune2fs -l /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 | grep features
If you don't see has_journal in the output all is good.
And the size of the ext4 partition should be?
I was planning on taking a stab at porting this project to the TF700 this weekend. Thanks for your work! Going to test ASAP.

That is up to you really, the ext4 partition will be your new "internal storage" so if you if you need to store alot there like big games etc. you'll need more. If like me you have little use for internal storage you increase the size of first partition. I have 49gb fat 32 as my first partition and 11gb ext4 as my second.
I transfer movies etc. from a windows machine to the fat32 partition.
Good question though, I should have mentioned it in the OP.

Actually the ROM does this during install. However on 2.0 it was causing issues with the latest TWRP so I temporarliy took it out.
It ended up being a twrp issue. IM going to put it back in for version 2.1 (with will be 10.4.4.18 based) and revert to the old version of twrp. The newer 2.3.x builds dont seem as reliable at this time.
But good write up!
Also worth to mention that this mod makes it a little bit harder to do nandroids. But in TWRP you have a option to backup sd-ext, that will actually be a backup of your data partition. So to restore data you just restore sd-ext. All other partitions will backup and restore normally.
Edit: No longer applicable, sd-ext backup no longer supported. Modded TWRP recovery in post #2

Since the 12/10 update to .18 that I installed just yesterday my performance skyrocketed. I don't experience any lag anymore, no hickups, much faster loading etc. I suddenly don't feel like this tablet was a waste of money anymore
It's all stock and normal.
So if you don't have this update yet, try it out before trying anything like this.
Would there be any way of getting this working on a rooted stock FW?
I saved root before updating to JB so I'm going to stay unlocked for as long as I have warranty.

Gospel singers from the General section? Now that's a first for me! I'm glad you're happy with your tablets,
now try downloading CleanROM 2.1 while multi-tasking on your device, still happy? I bet you want to unlock
before the download is finished!
New version for CleanROM 2.1 coming up, sorry for the delay. Been getting some sleep and my Inet connection
is about as stable as Uranium!
New version has symlinked /data2 partition so your internal storage will now be found in /sdcardi. Just for ease
of use.

When a new update comes out for CROMI and you install the update, does that update require that you re-apply Data2SD or is Data2SD still on there?
I assume you will need to flash the mount2sd file so that recovery knows where to use? And then after the rom flash you will need to redo the data2sd patch so that the framework and kernel understands.

They way I interpret the question is your second one, sbdags: yes, you need to apply the CROMI patch new -- it overwrites files that the update (re?)installed that would make your 700 boot into the internal storage data store instead.

The -that3 kernel auto-detects a microSD card with a second partition and will boot into the Data2SD environment if such a card is inserted, and boot normally with the internal storage without card or with a single-partition card. The other mods to access the internal storage as sdcardi etc. must be re-applied in the ROM.

Funny thing is I only recalled that auto-detect feature in v3 of your awesome kernel earlier today -- I've been using v2 since it came out. </stupid> LOL!
I'm going to reflash later this evening and use your v3, just for convenience's sake.
@OP: _that clarified justly that if you use his v3 kernel you will not have to decide which version to get. The CROMI mod for data2sd should be reflashed after updating CROMI (and I'd advise you to flash _that's v3 afterwards!); I'm not really sure as to whether you need to flash mount2sd BEFORE flashing the CROMI update -- but it won't hurt!
I figured as much since if you're installing an updated rom or patch, you will need to install the data2sd zip.
Thanks for the info.
Hello,
I flashed _that's data2sd kernel for cromi-x's latest version. I used MiniTool Partition Wizard to partition my SanDisk 16GB Ultra/Class-10 microsd card (made 2 partitions: Ext4 and FAT32) So once I flashed the Cromi-X with data2sd kernel and restart tablet, it gets stuck on the asus page and doesnt make it past that, the loading wheel still spins but i waited about 10 minutes and it still doesnt get anywhere.
When i removed my MicroSD card and restarted, it works but then it warns me that there is issue with my memory and i have to press on "I am feeling lucky" for the startup to finish. However, after that, some apps are missing, all of their datas is missing and other issues.
So i am guessing i have 2 options (1)re-partition my MicroSD and lose all the data that the kernel moved to it? ..or.. (2)somehow undo all this action and return all the data moved to microSD's ext4 parition back to the tablet. but i do not know how. i tried reflashing cromi-x but with normal kernel and same issue persists.
Please tell me what i need to do to get out of this issue with the least amount of data lost.
Thank you!!
See my reply to your duplicate post.
Yeah duplicate posts....
You seem to be confused about what data2sd does. It doesn't move anything to the SD card. It switches the data partition from internal to the SD card....

Best advice, run the device without DATA2SD. I worked with data 2 sd on comi-x for about a month. It was a huge headache and was not worth the difference in performance. I've found running the newest cromi-x without using setcpu gives me to most stable and reliable performance. I still get the occasional lag, but compared to the headache I had when trying to work with data 2 sd was just not worth it. Comi-x runs really smooth now. Hope that helps

+1 on this. I used to use data2sd before cromi-x and just recently, i tried cromi-x w/out data2sd. I must say, there is just little noticeable differences compared to the time i used data2sd.
For this Rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223492 I need the cifs.ko and md4.ko and if it possible, the nls_utf8.ko.
I have installed first with data2sd support, without informations about cifs Support an than the first Kernel, Stock Asus without Data2SD Support.
With non from these 2 Kernels instalations cifs will work.
I/O Error and so on.
Than I found the Information, that I need the .ko exactly for the installed Kernel.

I don't know which kernel you installed, but with my kernel you don't need any modules at all - just mount and go.

TF700: Asus 10.6.1.14.8 Modded Stock Kernel V4 / By That.
and
TF700ata2SD Asus 10.6.1.14.8 Modded_that v4 Kernel.
In ether case cifs dont will work.

Splashtop and Power Cinema V5 on PC. Works fine. I have full control over the tab to the pc desktop. Start Power Cinema, choose Music and the Sound comes from the Tablet only, I can also browse and start an play all my Files...
Is not the perfect way, but now I will try to connect the Pad via mini-HdMI-HDMI to my Yamaha Receiver.
Also I think that was not a clean installation.
I have flshed first mod_Data2SD.zip and bevor that I have wiped Cache and Dalvik.
Than I have flashed also with perform a full wipe the new Cromi V5 and the second Kernel I have choosen.
After the Reboot, all Apps, installed in the Crome V4.7 are still there...
Maybe I have some missunderstandings about Data2SD using.
I have to read and read again.
This is not my first Android an Flash... I have flashed some HTC, Samsung, unlocked, rootet ans so on, but the Asus confused me...

Well if you had data2sd on 4.7 and updated to 5.0 then you will still see the apps. I force it to use the correct partition regardless of the mount-data2sd file being flashed....
Yes, I also think so...
But where is a possibility to format the second ext4 Partition on SDCard???
There is no way in the first flash, modData2SD and nothing by flashing the CromiX.
I only can format SDCard, but this formats only the first Partition. I have a 16 GB Class 10 UHS 1 mSD Card, one Part is 10 GB second Part is ~4 GB. If I format the SD Card, only the 4 GB will be formated.
I think, this is the beginning of all my Problems here with cifs and so on.
I have seen, that the error "No such Device or Directory" doesnt mean the path to the PC, it means the path to the mountpoint. Under mnt/cifs is nothing Named like Music aand I cant create it there, its a read only file system...
So what can I do to become a really clean installation with nothing old in it?
Have I to flash first without Data2SD Support, than maybe instal a partition Manager for Android to format the ext4 Part on SD and than flash again but now with Data2SD???

I don't understand how your card is set up. Is the Ext4 partition 4GB? That isn't really big enough.
Also if you want wipe the 4GB ext4 then you must flash the mount-data2sd first in twrp.....

If you don't have many apps, it can be enough. My apps and app data together are currently 4.3 GB.

Yes, but the initial formatting must be done on a Linux system (or from the command line in Android with a proper mke2fs binary).
No no, missunderstanding...
10 GB is the ext4 Partition, 4 GB ist the rest from the total 16 GB IHS 1 Class 10 mSD Card.
And I did this as well, first flash the mount Data2SD.zip file, and I also wiped there, than I reboot, Power off and go again to twrp and flash the CromiX5 with Kernel how supports Data2SD an perform a full Wipe...
Allways there are still all apps on SDCard, I cant controll it, I dont have a Linux system here...
After the flashs I have only a updated Cromi, not a new system.
First boot runs and its like before.
Is there no way to format the 10 Gb ext4 Partition? Win7 x64 and Acronis could´nt read the ext4.
ooops, I did it again...
I have seen, that I can format the ext4 with paragon partitons manager suite 11 I have installed.
Is this a conform format for this job?

10 GB is the ext4 Partition, 4 GB ist the rest from the total 16 GB IHS 1 Class 10 mSD Card.
And I did this as well, first flash the mount Data2SD.zip file, and I also wiped there, than I reboot, Power off and go again to twrp and flash the CromiX5 with Kernel how supports Data2SD an perform a full Wipe...
Allways there are still all apps on SDCard, I cant controll it, I dont have a Linux system here...
After the flashs I have only a updated Cromi, not a new system.
First boot runs and its like before.
Is there no way to format the 10 Gb ext4 Partition? Win7 x64 and Acronis could´nt read the ext4.
ooops, I did it again...
I have seen, that I can format the ext4 with paragon partitons manager suite 11 I have installed.
Is this a conform format for this job?

First is the ext4 partition the second partition or first?

I cant see this.
Now I have the mSD Card in my Acer Laptop and Paragon part. Manager 11 Suite is running, but the Prog shows the whole 16 GB as 14,9 GB unformatted...
Confused again.
In my Tablet ist shows only 4 GB, the 10 GB I cant see.
Retest with Acronis Disc Director Suite 11 and it shows 4 GB Fat32 first part and 10 GB second Part as unformated.
A friend has done the partition and format Job for me, so how can I change this??
Can a take Paragon to create first Part ext4 10 GB and the rest 4 GB Fat32 for this job?
What a f....
Now the using of Data2SD is history.
From 7am to 1pm I have tried to format an correct the Partitionstype of my 16 GB Class 10 UHS 1 mSD Card but it was only wasting time.
I have tried these jobs with MiniTool Partitions Manager Home Edition and SD Formatter.
Here I found a german page with Infos to create a ext4 Partition:
http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/android_forum/219275-ext4_partition_erstellen.html
But the Card was useless in PC and Tablet.
Now I have a fresh Installation, without Data2SD, but all my Apps are gone and not recovered by Market Place.
So I have to flash again.
Have someone here a Link to an Howto to create ext4 10GB first Partition an the rest ~4 GB with Fat32?
I´m helpless and frustrated.
So please, give some help.

People in the Data2SD thread said that MiniTool doesn't work correctly and that you have to use a Linux-based partitioning and formatting utility, e.g. gparted.
And if you create your ext4 partition first, it won't be usable for Data2SD either. As the documentation of my Data2SD add-on says, the ext4 partition must be the second primary partition.
I'd suggest you attack one problem after the other - this thread was originally about some CIFS problems - are these fixed now?
No nothing is fixed an I have created this thread to fix the problems.
All goes hand in hand.
Without a clean installation of cromi nothing works, than all apps are still there with all the errors. If I cant instal properly correct than I have the same problems like bevor.
This all I have told ya, here in this thread.
Normaly the mount data2sd.zip has to format the ext4 partition while flashing and perform a wipe, but this was not happend. After flashing mount data2SD.zip, reboot and flashing than cromix5 with full wipe all former installed apps an accounts are still there, and so I have overtaken all old problems too.
Hi, I could use some pointers on how to get data2sd on to my tablet.
I recently flashed to my first ROM, Cromi-X 5.0.3, and it seems to work well. Now I would like to apply data2sd in addition - maybe it was stupid, I guess it would have been smoother to apply that in the same move.
Anyways, I have set up a high speed micro-SD card now, formatted according to the instructions.
Now - I am a bit confused about flashing with a kernel - can I pick a kernel from the downloaded Cromi-X 5.0.3 zip-file, and flash that without any major wiping? If not, which kernel should I pick then... ?
Thanks!

You need to partition your sd card into fat32 and ext4 as per the instructions here using gparted. Do not use minitool please:

Then reflash the rom picking a data2sd option.

Yup, I have done that - but I can't see (in the ES file explorer) the partitions that should be in place, and in AndroBench, I don't get the speeds I should be seeing...
