[GUIDE] another way to increase data partition size (non-dualboot)

having a 750mb for data partition like in my previous post seems interesting for everyone. however, make a 2nd rom isn't easy for everyone. there are some people who can't download a rom, which makes dualboot mod useless for them. well...I want to share the joy of having a bigger data partition, so I modify a kernel to enable 2nd ext3 sdcard partition as data partition. for now on lets call this mod **data-2sd**. the steps is quite easy.
preparation step:
1. download a modified kernel from here
2. rename the file to 'boot.img'.
3. repartition your sdcard. all partition is primary. 1st partition fat32. 2nd partition ext3. adjust the partition size to any size you want.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the steps:
1. install the kernel
2. make a blank file named 'bootsdcard' in your root sdcard
3. reboot your device.
notes:
1. this kernel is made based on irfanbagus's kernel. (credits for him)
2. if you already have 2nd partition in your sdcard, please reformat it.
3. don't use link2sd or a2sd.
4. clean you init.d folder (optional)
5. you'll need a fast sdcard for best result. our default sdcard is too slow.

well...thanks for irfanbagus who has make a dualboot kernel for us. as I have said, I modify the kernel based on his work. the modified script is not an efficient one. I have to admit that. feel free to edit the kernel if you don't satisfy with my work.
btw, I realize that not everyone want to use sdcard's 2nd partition, especially when their sdcard is slow and they have to wait till they have enough money to buy a faster one. well...you don't have to uninstall this kernel since I've made an option to turn off data-2sd feature simply by delete 'bootsdcard' from your sdcard. now, it will act as stock DXLC stock kernel with init.d support. when you already have a fast sdcard you can turn on data-2sd feature again by make 'bootsdcard' file in your sdcard.

KNOWN ROM INCOMPATIBILITY ISSUE
============================
please read this before install this kernel. these roms are reported to incompatible with this kernel. some user said it work, but some other said it doesn't work in these rom. to minimilize the risk, I'll list all reported incompatibility issue with my kernel.[/b]
Incompatibility list
1. chobits digital v1.8 and v2
2. m.u.r (merruk ultimate rom) v1
please inform me if you got another incompatibility issue with other custom rom[/quote]
ADDITIONAL STUFF
==============
if your rom incompatible with this kernel you may try this guide to increase your /data partition as well. you'll need a kernel with init.d support to use this method. please read carefully before modify your system.
1. go to system/etc/init.d
2. delete all a2sd and link2sd related stuff
3. create a new file named 01data2sd. put this script inside it
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
unmount /data
mount -t ext3 -o nosuid,nodev /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data
4. set the permission to 777 (rwxrwxrwx)
5. open your terminal manager. type these command.
Code:
su
mkdir /data/sd-ext
mount -t ext3 -o nosuid,nodev /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data/sd-ext
note: its blk-zero-p-two, not blk-O-p2
6. via root explorer go to /data.
7. copy all stuff in /data into /data/sdext.
8. open terminal manager. type these command.
Code:
umount /data/sd-ext
9. restart your device.
if you got bootloop, via adb, type these command
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount rw /system
chmod 222 /system/etc/init.d/*
exit
exit
adb reboot
KNOWN ISSUE: gps not working.

what is the advantage?

sgy's original data partition size is only 190mb. you can get 1gb or bigger data partition for your device by using this mod.

I see. I will try this, does it work on creeds 2.0?

it will work on all rom but will make your a2sd didn't work. please remove all a2sd script in init.d before use this mod.

So this will be my steps?
1. FLash your ROM/CUSTOM ROM
2. Delete the scripts in data/system/init.d via Root Explorer.
3. Make a file name "bootsdcard" in root directory of your sdcard.
Question : What file? .txt? .exe?
4. Flash the Kernel via Odin or other methods.
5. Reboot your device.
So now all my apps are on my SD? or all futured apps are on it?

just a plain file without any extension.
for the second question...this mod will change your data partition to 2nd sdcard ext3 partition. its completely different with a2sd or link2sd since it won't move any installed app in your device. your previous app will remain in your original data partition. when you activate the feature and reboot your phone, it would be like when you turn on the device for the first time.

so it will show 750mb not 190mb?

I will try this tomorrow
bla bla bla

it depends on your partition size. you can make it 750mb, 1gb, or any size you want.

Now I am using DDLC2 official firmware and my 2nd partition (ext3) size is 1.06 GB,
but I am not using any kernal and other thing, I am using pure official ROM and
rooted my mobile thats all. From lot of months I am using this second partition
with Link2sd app.

it supports init.d script. however, there are some script in init.d which will mount your 2nd partition in different place. its better to remove them before you activate this feature.
it works for both custom and stock rom.

thats your choice. however this mod doesn't require any app and you don't have to link your app to to ext partition. when you uninstal link 2sd you'll lose all your app in ext partition.

nope. you don't need to install any rom. but make sure that you have a clean 2nd ext partition.

What is the Base Firmware of This Modified Kernel?
I Hope its DXLC1? Or ?

ok...ill try...i will use
v6 supercharger only

yup...its based on DXLC kernel. we do only a minor modification in init.rc and /sbin folder.

ok, downloading now..will give this a shot
BTW does increasing internal memory with this increase speed a little bit? coz the more internal memory the faster right?

internal memory space doesn't related to device speed. in fact, it will a little bit slower since ext3 partition is slower than rfs. nevertheless, the differences is not significant. and could only seen in benchmarking test.

Assuming you already have gingerbread installed, you are rooted, your phone connected with PC and usb debugging enabled.
Step 1
Donwload
recovery.img from http://www.wuala.com/caroceiro/optimus 3d/roms/acura/Acura3DMAX V2/?lang=en
Download
Clockwork Touch.rar from http://d-h.st/zdj
extract Clockwork Touch.rar
run LGP920_CWM_5.8.1.5_Flasher_WinXP.exe BUT DO NOT PRESS SPACEBAR YET
copy recovery.img from your downloaded files and paste it into same directory with LGP920_CWM_5.8.1.5_Flasher_WinXP.exe and overwrite old recovery.img
Now press spacebar in the dos box and let it flash
Step 2
Copy Acura3DMAX_V2.zip in your internal sdcard.
Reboot into touch recovery
go to mounts
Format DATA
Format SYSTEM
Format CACHE
Step 3
Install from internalsd Acura3DMAX_V2.zip
THATS IT
If you followed this guide its flashed now you should reboot and wait for startup guide.

restore your backup
if you dont have a backup try this
get into cwm
mount emmc
run LGP920_CWM_5.8.1.5_Flasher_WinXP.exe that you downloaded earlier
but dont press spacebar
look into the directory of LGP920_CWM_5.8.1.5_Flasher_WinXP.exe and there should be a file called adb-win.exe
open a command prompt and drag an drop adb-win.exe into it put a space and type push and then drag and drop Acura3DMAX_V2.zip leave a space and type /emmc/
it should look like this (although it depends on your directory structure)
"D:\LG Optimus3D\Clockwork Touch\adb-win.exe" push D:\downloads\Acura3DMAX_V2.zip /emmc/
or you could try installing it from your external sdcard

So if I'm following correctly, we DO need to flash the recovery image or we DO NOT need to?
If this is just a rom then this is simple flashing with no extra steps but there has to be a reason for the recovery...

gr8 idea
gonna try it
can it be used as backup / restore without cwm ?

removed

New version. Improved logic and checks, added function for boot.img dump + updater-script generator. Now remain thing for storing META-INFO folder. Will post beta version soon, hope in next post.

Sorry, not have free time to finish this but soon I will give you full working version!

Promising at least for me. Thanks will wait for a fully version

Great work! Just tried this on a K2_CL (Boost Mobile CDMA) device. Placed it in my system/bin. Ran it, and it works good. Only issue I have seen so far is the location it writes the ROM.zip to. Goes directly to data/local/tmp. Not good at all. In the midst of it running it abruptly stopped due to lack of space available. If could be taken to int or ext sdcard then would be flawless in that regard. In midst of it stopping abruptly the .zip file became corrupted so even if I were to want to make manual changes I still could not access the contents. Anyways, GREAT WORK!

Heads up.... In the updater-script you have the format () set for 4 arguements, but just so you are aware it will not work. The update-binary you are using only allows for three arguements so it will ultimately fail. You will need to use one that allows for 4 arguements.

I can easilly add another command line argument (zip path), and for sure I will improve whole tool! Need help now since not understand how to generate certs and metadata to META-INF folder. Want to implement openssl libs into by tool which will be used for generating these things and finaly for signing whole zip. But some one need to help me because I need an step by step tutorial for generating meta-inf things with openssl (since I not understand how it is generated)!

I wouldn't worry too much about the meta-inf folder and what not. Anyone can go in the zip and add that themselves. I usually always do that manually anyways, because I always handle the updater-script manually or at minimum I will make some modifications. However, it would definitely be good to redirect the zip file to either the internal or external sdcard simply for space reasons. I tried to edit the file myself to make some adjustments but couldnt figure out how to restore it without having to use a hex editor. A hex editor I can accomplish some changes but it will cause for more work in my opinion then what it would be if I actually could view the file in its originality, but not sure how to do that on a windows computer. Also, you have the command built only to work if all four listed partitions are being included. I tried to run it by only going for one or two of the listed partitions but wouldn't work unless I used all four. Any way you can make it an option? I would prefer to just pull the boot.img and system.img instead of all four that you list. The option to choose only one, or two, or three, or all four would be awesome. Especially since I would like to make some roms and pulling only the system and boot would speed this up vice having to wait for all of it to be pulled which can take a while to do lol.

I have no problem testing your tool . What you are trying to accomplish will eliminate in a sense the need for a pc. I am all for those who find ways to implement such work on a device without needing to use a pc. Most of my work is done on my device and I hardly ever use my computer so something like this is a must have for me lol. If you need me to run some tests, let me know. Shoot me a PM .

Oh, forgot to mention... When I ran your tool again after making some room on my phone the zip file can't be open on the device when wanting to make some changes. It comes up with an error regarding a duplication which aborts opening to view the contents in the zip. The only way I could view it was by placing it on my pc. Afterwards, I flashed it and my phone failed to boot... I think because of this duplication... Need to run more tests. Can't remember the exact error off the top of my head. I will let you know soon.

Compresion level is 9 ! You can compare context of these errored folder in my zip and your working zip, to make sure if its realy duplicated! If you found what cause these problem please let me know!
About 4 arguments to romgen: I not going to change these arguments because every android device model have diferent blok device number so user must to define them (I thinked to automate them but that have no priority by now, maybe later)!

I agree, I basically just removed the format () line in the updater-script all together because I format my device using the custom recovery anyways so I find no need to format it again lol. Personal preference. But yea, those who get errors regarding the arguements will just need to use an update-binary that accepts such arguments or else remove the line altogether. I will update you if I find out what is causing the duplication error. As I said before, I have two roms currently on my device and both have the exact same information in them. One rom I created based on your tool and the other I used a kitchen, but only your rom based on your tool gives me that error while the other rom opens up just fine. I will look in to it.

New version is out, just added 5.th parameter for zip out and added meta-inf update-binary and some otacerts.. bla, but need to make real metadata and otacerts and to sign final zip... need help (tutorial) for them since not understand how it is generated with openssl.

I need a tutorial on how to make these files to work on android period. Lol, I usually have to edit these things with a hex editor but downloading now

2 first open driver folder and install the vcom drivers (only for xp/vista/7)
3 switched off your phone and take out your batter from it
4.now open sp_flash_tool folder and run Flash_tool.exe
5 click on scatter-loading and select MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc file from "Micromax a117 ebr files" folder for 2.5 GB and for other storage requirement select form EBR.rar file uploaded below. Just replace ebr1 and ebr2 given in first attachment by the new ebr files in second attachment
6 click on download on sp tool a popup will appear just ignore it and select yes
7 now connect your phone using usb cable
8 sptool will detect your phone and a yellow bar comes at bottom of sptool

Is it safe, I mean if I will use your ebr files will it effect my system.
How much will be the internal memory left to be used(if left)?
And If I wish to install the stock rom using sp tools will it revert back to original settings or not.
Please clarify.

Will it work if I flash the v4 ROM for mmx a117 first and then flash the ebr files for 2.5 gb.

HELP!
I had increased storage to 2.46GB successfully and for the past week, my storage suddenly dropped to 134MB available with 717MB occupied although it's showing that 2.46GB is the total available memory.
It's like it reverted to its original storage but still showing 2.46GB.
I flashed it again, but still remains the same.
Please help. Much appreciated.

Hi Kumar87,
I am trying the above procedure given by you. upto point number 5 I did. But I didn't understand the 5th statement.
"click on scatter-loading and select MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc file from "Micromax a117 ebr files" folder for 2.5 GB and for other storage requirement select form EBR.rar file uploaded below. Just replace ebr1 and ebr2 given in first attachment by the new ebr files in second attachment".
I clicked on scatter-loading and select MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc file from "Micromax a117 ebr files" folder for 2.5 GB. It worked and a list was displayed. Now what about "other storage requirement"? Where is that?
Please resolve.
Waiting for your reply

Rom Builder

Rom Builder​ Hi guys this is me a small utility for creating flashable zip custom firmware for recovery I think will help many​how to use​unzip the contents of a folder on your computer
connect your phone via usb and enable USB debug
run the program and press enter
Click OK on your phone
We are waiting for the completion
So almost all ready, we go on a memory card and look for the folder "ROM" and see there copy 4 files to your computer

Now we take update.zip to move all the files
That's just what we've created custom firmware for recovery

Thanks again.

-partitions
recovery.img
boot.img
system.img

You can easily modify the file update script in Notepad ++ and update binary can take on any of the other newer firmware example of CM

nice ,the recovery build also

@ybee4pda
I enhanced your code a bit and make it fully automatic. How can I send you new codes?

It can:
-back up boot, system and custom partitions as img file to sdcard (recovery partition not supported for now)
-move these 3 img files from sdcard to PC
-make flashable zip (update.zip)
-clean img files from sdcard and PC
Note: When you start build_Rom.bat again, it deletes update zip. So you should backup your update.zip for every process.
All credits to go this topics creator. I only modified a bit to automate process.

it wipes 3 partitions. so you probably lost your custom partition. try to reflash it.

@y-bee4pda , thanks for your work. One thing, why the rom zip size is always 600mb+ ?
