[Q] Partitions resizing

I have the latest stock Gingerbread ROM, AmonRA, ROQ kernel and I'm unsing link2SD.
I'm getting short of space on my data partition and I would like to recover some space from my cache partition (that is now 64Mb big).
Is there anyway to move some Mb from /cache to /data?
Possibly recovering a whole NAND backup.
I saw scripts for "Cusotm MTD Partitions" but they all looked for different phones.
Thank you very much

u can't change internal partitions in p500. but u can change the size of SD-ext partition that link2sd uses to store apps. U can do that with the help of ur recovery. But remember that changing size of sd-ext partition will format ur whole sd crd. so make the necessary backups

I'm running out of space in /data partition, /sd-ext is ok.
I see I can nandroid backup all partitions: can't I edit them somehow and then recovery them back?
BTW: I would use a Windows partition resizing software on the SD mounted in my PC to do what you meant, that should not lose any data

when u backup ur partitions it just means u r backing up the content of ur partitions as a whole. So editing them won't do any good.
instead flash an app2sd script which moves dalvik cache to sd too. like this one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668247

My dalvik cache is already on SD, using LInk2SD; the problem is the /data content; it would be great to move the data to SD too

I also used link2sd till recently and switched to S2E (simple2ext) from the market but I think it only works for cm7 and cm7 based roms.
If you use a lot of apps including games I would suggest making the ext partition 1gb when using set script.
Backup your apps with titanium backup, wipe the phone clean, flash the rom.
Install S2E, open it.
Press menu key and go to Settings, and enable “Mount as ext4″ (mandatory).
Close and reboot.
Open S2E again and select the folders you want to move to SD card. I recommend selecting Applications, Application Data and Dalvik cache. Leave Private apps and Download cache unselected.
Reboot and changes will take effect. (This reboot will be slower than usual as your dalvik cache will be rebuilt.)
Done.
Now you can restore from the titanium backup and you shouldn't have any more problems with space.
p.s.: don't backup or restore link2sd, it will mess with s2e

You mean it will move the /data folders too, in contrary to Link2SD?

Is it correct that, in the steps you listed, the old sd-ext partition is not needed? S2E won't read it, right?

The sd-ext partition is very needed. that's where all your apps and data and dalvik cache will go. S2E works basically like Link2SD only it moves data as well, to the same place.
When I said wipe the phone, I meant formating the system, internal and ext partitions + dalvik cache so you have a clean slate and bug free installation.

Use the script mentioned here. it moves ur \data partition to ext. it will give u ample amount of storage. and remember that u should increase the size of ext partition only if u have class 6 sdcards or else ur phone will suffer serious lag

Sorry, I meant the content of the sd-ext partition before this upgrade: I have to reinstall all apps, I don't need the old installations in the sd-ext, right?
Thank you!

[Q] Apps to sdext partition in CM10?

I can't move my apps to my sdext partition, I tried Link2sd and it can't detect my partition (I already tried deleting the partition and creating a new one) I google searched and didn't find anything useful.
So, Is there a way to move all my apps to sdext in CM10?

have you mounted the second partition ?
in recovery mode mount the sd-ext partition . then in link2sd , create mount script and reboot.

How to Install guide
1.remove all app2sd scripts from init.d folder inside /system/etc you should have two scripts only smothing like 90userinit and 00banner or module if any other script that has 2ext or app in it please delete them.(only app2sd scripts matter no other script)
2.uninstall all related apps for the same scripts.
3.reboot into recovery.
4.under mount & storage(or something similar) chose mount /system & /data and /sd-ext
5.go back and choose install zip
6. select Fixed-Int2ext4+.zip and flash.
7 go back to mount & storage and unmount /data & /sd-ext.
8.format /sd-ext from the same menu.
reboot and enjoy.
Note : this will work for only ext 4 partition(if you format sd-ext using cwm 5 its ext 4) will upload int2ext+ soon if requested.

I've partitioned the SD Card on FAT32 and ext4. For ext4 I made 1 GB. My SD Card is of 16 GB. Rest is FAT32.

it mounts your /sd-ext partition as /data hence internal storage is the size that your /sd-ext is.
also its easier to partition with cwm and keep swap as 0.

first try installing script without mounting /sd-ext but follow all other steps(mainly mount /system & /data flash script & later unmount /data and format /sd-ext).
If this doesnt work(I seriously doubt it won't still) it means that the /sd-ext partition is corupt(many reasons) so do this flash amon ra and choose fix sd-ext partition the n flash cwm 5 again and format sd-ext partition.
still doesnt work(really still doesnt ?!?!?!) post here the full porblem you face then and if you tried both these solutions.
Good luck.

[Q] sd-ext partition corrupt?( partition made using CWM)

I apologize if similar thread has already been posted.
I had just installed a new ROM (Holo Sandvich) when I decided to increase my internal memory,
I saw a few tutorials, made an SD card paritition of 1GB.(Total Size=4GB) After that was done, the tutorial directed me to write this in a terminal window.
su (press enter)(pop up of superuser will be there —>Allow it)
m2sd mount enable(enter)
m2sd data disable(enter)
m2sd apps disable(enter)
m2sd dalvik disable(enter)
m2sd data enable(enter)
But after each code I would read
sh:m2sd not found.
I thought something was wrong.. I installed Minitool Partition manager.. When I mounted USB. I was surprised to see no sd-ext drive. Only the 2.73 normal partition was present..
It was like my 1GB disappeared..
When I asked my friend ([email protected]).. He said that CWM corrupts your sd-ext drive..
So, now I want to know how to proceed? How should I get that 1 GB back in FAT32 format? Is that 1 GB lost?
If I merge the drives again, I'll reparition in TWRP then..

Connect your sdcard to pc through card reader
Then delete sd-ext using minitool partition wizard
For partitioning your you have two ways
1-use minitool partition wizard
2-flash twrp recovery
And partition your sdcard(this will formay your sdcard)

MM internal memory solution

Hi guys,
I'll share some scripts (flashable) that I've made to help with xperia l internal memory shortage.
1. First one is the link2sd-enabler.zip: http://www24.zippyshare.com/v/UduJGjqJ/file.html.
For this to work you'll need a second partition on the external sdcard formated as ext4. So first partition is the vfat one, the second primary partition on the external sd card is the ext4 one. Currently I have a 8Gb ext4 second partition.
Installation procedure: prepare your external sdcard, flash the zip, install link2sd application.
2. Second is the 01link2sdmm: http://www86.zippyshare.com/v/9DSgorlH/file.html.
The link2sd application does not automatically link the oat directory of the application. This directory contains the compiled application in the form of an odex file. For big apps this file is pretty big. So this script will automatically link this directory to the sdcard second partition for the applications that are linked to the sdcard. This works in conjunction with the link2sd-enabler.zip script.
Installation procedure: put this script in the /etc/init.d directory with the proper permissions. This way it will run at boot. If you want to run this directly after you link an app you'll need to use automagic and make a rule to run this script after you exit the link2sd application.
Observations: This script is not needed if you switch the internal partitions because you'll have enough space to keep the odex file internally. It's your choice.
3. Third script is the mm-partition-swapper.zip: http://www10.zippyshare.com/v/eyRO7gLw/file.html.
This one will switch your sdcard and userdata partition on your current mm rom. This was tested on rr573 that I have installed, but it should work in other mm roms as well.
Installation procedure: Make sure you have enough space on the external sd card so the script will be able to save your current data partition files. Save the files that you need from your internal partition to your external sd card. Make a backup of your current rom from twrp in case something wrong happens. Format from TWRP the internal sd card as ext4. Flash the zip. If everything works ok then you'll have a rom with the internal partitions swapped and you'll have 4Gb of user data available (minus your space for the already installed apps).
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Very important!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't try formatting the internal sdcard as ext4 with twrp version 3.0.2! It seems that his twrp version does not support this. I'm using twrp 2.8.7.0 by Barbarosa.
Observations: Twrp does not support backing up/restoring internal sd. If you swap partitions you'll have to backup your ext4 internal sd manually from within twrp connected through adb (with a simple tar command)
4. I think 256 ZRAM for the rr573 rom is too big so this zip will change this to 128MB:
mm-128Mb-zram.zip:http://www103.zippyshare.com/v/XjVAnXEl/file.html.
Please make a backup before flashing the swap zip and report if this worked for you.
Hope this helps,
Thanks.

Check if you have in the /etc/init.d directory the 00link2sd script. For this script to work you need a rom with a working init.d (otherwise this won't work obviously...). If you have the script there, then check if you see a directory /data/sdext2 (if this directory is missing, but you have the 00link2sd script in the /etc/init.d directory, then this means you don't have init.d support in the rom). If you partition your sdcard correctly then the second ext4 partition of you sdcard should me mounted in the /data/sdext2 directory ... All these you need to check before installing the link2sd app...

Awesome! Thank you. I'll try this

Sorry to hear this. If the script gave you this error then the script did nothing to your phone. It just aborted the procedure because it did not find the sdcard formated as ext4. It must be the twrp version. I'm using twrp 2.8.7.0 by barbarosa. I think twrp 3.0.2 does not support formatting the internal sdcard as ext4. Most pobably the twrp version 3.0.2 formated something else as ext4 or whatever instead of internal sd... I did not know this. Sorry again...
Try to search the brick threads. If you still have a blue light when in flashmode I think you still have a chance to resurect it...
Sent from the center of the galaxy

I've modified the post to warn people of this twrp version. So, people, use only twrp 2.8.x.x to format the internal sdcard. I'm using 2.8.7.0 twrp version by Barbarosa. I don't know if other twrp versions support ext4 on internal sdcard.

Thanks for the solutions. So now if I only need to swap internal sd and /data, i just need to flash 3rd script? I'm quite confusing about partitioning and memory stuffs

You have to have twrp 2.8.7.0, then format internal sdcard as ext4 (wipe settings) and then flash the zip...
Sent from the center of the galaxy

Yes, formatting internalSD as ext4 is tricky. My recovery was broken. Probably formatted something else. It wasn't your script.
However I have no volume up button on my phone (fell out) - no fastboot. And just volume down button (flash mode) and a somewhat broken USB cable. Phone not recognized by flashtool at all...

Ok thanks! One more question, If I somewhat want to undo this, I need to back up the current MM rom before flashing the script? Will the internal sd and /data automtically be swapped back when I restore the back up?

After swapping the partitions your old backups of the rom will not work anymore (or probably they would just revert the swapping. Anyway if you want to restore a backup that's been done prior to swap it's better to format back by hand the internal sdcard to vfat and data to ext4)
For backing up a rom with swapped partitions you'll have to select the sdcard instead of data partition in the backup options... I did not try it yet...

Yes, formatting internalSD as ext4 is tricky. My recovery was broken. Probably formatted something else. It wasn't your script.
However I have no volume up button on my phone (fell out) - no fastboot. And just volume down button (flash mode) and a somewhat broken USB cable. Phone not recognized by flashtool at all...

I don't know, sorry. You have to search the brick threads...

I ran the the link2sd enabler script on my rr573, works like a charm now.
Thank you so much, I needed this!
Didn't swapped the storages yet.

The dream is real!
Congratulations.
Seeking a long time for a script like mm-partition-swapper.zip
Before seeing your post, I had already made the formatting of SD0 (ext4) to try to install Link2SD to work with SD0 without work.
I used the TWRP 3.0.2.
I could easy return the partition to FAT.
I intend to make a clean installation of ROM on my device to then install your mm-partition-swapper.zip script.
As both the "DATA" as SD0 are empty you still think need to format with TWRP 2.8.7?
No way to change this script without the data transfer?
Only formatting partitions and inverted mounts?
If not necessary then ok...but... please clear this my doubts.
Again without getting tired ... very thank you even for your script.
