@amarullz

Is there any plan to solve the titanium backup bug?

Ora maybe just a workaround except restoring data with clean rom flashing?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NYLimited:
I am running the modified (by Alex-V, see my signature) version of the script which moves *everything* to my 3 gb ext4 partition. Been using it without problems through various roms.

Is it possible to flash the zip from the 1st post with CWM?

Edit: nevermind, I just saw you can't
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SalviaLover:
Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't know about the modified version of this script. Is clearing cache and Dalvik before flashing enough to make it work or do I have to do a full wipe? (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18930750&postcount=54)

Another question. I have a 256 MB SWAP partition on my SD. It used to work with my previous ROM. Is this script capable of mounting this SWAP partition? I suppose not as Amrullz script doesn't mount it at all. Can I add a few lines to init scripts to mount the swap? If yes what would those lines be?

PS. For the records I did move FireFox and a few other apps' cache successfully by moving their directories from /data-s to /data/move and setting a sym link on their place. IT worked fine for me so you can use this method to move just a few apps cache to SD while keeping most in memory.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Bandy78:
Is this working with all phones? Interested on lg p690...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SalviaLover:
When I try to install this Alex-V script I get "Installation Aborted". I just updated my ROM to the latest version. I couldn't get the Alex-V zip to work, but Amarulls ad2sdx-1.0-RC01.zip installed fine. Dalvik and cache were wiped.

Edit: This script is not flashable. Replaced the file in init.d. It booted, but there is now considerable reduction of performance. Phone takes forever to boot and it is constantly asking if I should close Go Launcher or wait. I suppose I should now be extending my System partition and move programs there to make it work. Are System apps being preserved when a new ROM is installed? The tutyng flashable zip file says it is formatting /system during installation.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NYLimited:
You may have, somehow, ended up with some corruption or circular links. The only way I know how to fix those is with a clean install, sorry. When this happened to me I

1. Made a full Titanium Backup

2. Did a factory wipe, cleared ext partition

3. Installed rom without script

4. Booted to create initial setup

5. Installed rom with script

6. Restored apps & data with TB

Sounds like a lot of work but it is quick and cleans a lot of problems.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SalviaLover:
I made a ful CWM backup before doing the change. I just restored the backup to get it work. I couldn't do much with this state, but from what I was able to load it seemed that all apps were there, but settings were gone.

What is the right way to install this Alex-V script considering the fact that it was previously running Amarullz script with the respective paths ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Hanny:
well - not hard, you dont actually need adb or whatever, just your phone with root

make sure you follow my steps listed!

first get a root explorer thing, which can edit permissions of files

and make a backup, either full TB or full nandroid

now download alex-v's modded zip

extract it and you will get a file "40a2sd"

use the root explorer to mount r/w in system

copy "40a2sd" to /system/etc/init.d

change the permission of "40a2sd" to rwxr-xr-x

delete the prior installed "40ad2sdx" file

reboot

now do not panic when it seems to "stuck" at whatever boot logo or animation becoz IT IS MOVING your dalvik cache. be patient and wait for like 10 mins or more depending the amount of your apps and cpu speed

use rootexplorer to check /sd-ext (your actual /data) and free space is there! becoz dalvik cache are in /data (your actual /sd-ext) now ;)

did this on my wife's galaxy ace and everything runs fine, speed does not decrease noticeably as well.

theoretically this will read write more on sd-ext and possible shorten sd life but whatever we just want more space!! :D good luck and cheers :cool:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vertlink:

Does it work with EXT 3? Or only 4?

I'm going to install this, but is it compatible with EXT3? Please help me!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NYLimited:
Just curious.. Why not use ext4?

I *think* it may work with ext3. The format should be backward compatible.

If you want to be sure edit the script and look for the mount command that specifies ext4. Change it to ext3. Magic!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CosmicDan:
Thanks for the great script, this is awesome and fast. Switched from Link2SD to this :)

But I had to make a minor change to get it to work on CM10. For some reason the rootfs doesn't have /sd-ext folder, so I just added this near the top (under the read_ahead_kb tweak):

#-- Create sd-ext folder if it doesn't exist (e.g. CM10)
if [ ! -d /sd-ext ]
then
mount -o rw,remount -t rootfs rootfs /
mkdir /sd-ext
mount -o ro,remount -t rootfs rootfs /

Using the flashable zip option, I just installed this perfectly in Oxygen 2.3.2 with an EXT3 partition. :) Pity about the 300mb sd-ext limit, but limit or not, it's working perfectly with EXT3 for me. :)

Edit: And I actually just realised how redundant that is... A 300mb limit on my ext partition when my hboot still leaves over 300mb free for /data. :) Lol. I'll fix that just now then.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CosmicDan:
What 300MB limit? Is that just for your device? Because I use a 2.1GB ext2 partition fine.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ZaLiTHkA:
Wow, that was a bright moment... I might be confusing this with another A2SD script; I was looking at a couple this morning, ended up using the flashable zip for this one (as found here). I do remember one of the others mentioned something about a /data size limit though, not sure why.

I'm using the CM7r2 hboot (332mb /data), and while my ext3 is actually 780mb (as reported by 4EXT Touch), Titanium Backup shows my "SD Card (a2sd)" as 348mb with 266mb free. Perhaps it's not working quite as well as it's really supposed to, but I haven't had any problems with it yet.. O.o
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CosmicDan:
Thats odd. But if other apps show correct size (Check in SD Maid) and in Terminal with df command, then it must be a TB bug.

Sent from Xperia Play (R800a) with Tapatalk
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ZaLiTHkA:
Running df in terminal emulator, it tells me /sd-ext has 340608 "1K-blocks", if my maths is correct, that works out to somewhere around 330mb...:/ Odd.

Just out of curiosity, do you know if AD2SDX has any command line functions for setting any of it's options? Or is it a "install and forget" sort of thing?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CosmicDan:
Install and forget.

But what is size of /data? This script swaps sd-ext and data partitions once installed. My sd-ext is 470mb and data is 2091MB for example.

Sent from Xperia Play (R800a) with Tapatalk
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ZaLiTHkA:
Checking again with the terminal 'df' command, it shows /data as 786144 1K-blocks, so... 767.71mb. ("Manage Apps" shows 767mb, "Settings > Storage" shows 768mb, etc etc.). Not sure if there is even any problem here, do you? It's probably just a slightly different way of doing things than what I'm used to. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MarkAtHome:
There is a filesize limit of about 4G, but the SD-EXT can be as large as your SD card has room for. My Ext4 partition is a little over 10G... ;)

____________________
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CosmicDan:
That is normal and means the script is working. As i mentioned, the sd-ext and data mount points are swapped with this script so app data and other things go to sd-ext automatically without needing a reboot or app.

I found it a bit confusing at first when examining the script, but its a great idea. Very fast and reliable.

If you do ls -l commands when in /data or /sd-ext folder you can get more info on what specific things are linked. Just remember that /data is actually mounted to the sd-ext partition, and /sd-ext is mounted to internal userdata partition ;)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NYLimited:
Are you sure we're talking about the same thing? Ext3 gas no 300 mb limit. I am using ext4 with a 3 gig partition and internal is correctly shown as 3 gb.

Yeah, I was being really silly when I was talking about the supposed limit on /data... I was looking through a couple different A2SD setups linked from the Desire Index thread the other day; INT2SD is the one that has two versions, one with a limit on the partition size and one without. :) I was just getting myself confused..

How can I create a Swap Partition which should be 0 MB?

I created, on my 32 GB SD card

28,90 GB FAT32 partition

896 MB EXT3 partition

112 MB swap partition

I cannot set the swap parttition to 0 MB in Minitool Partition Wizard 7.6.

I have copied

gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip

Did you change the mount parameter in the script to ext3? It specifies type as ext4.

Do you also have a folder sd-ext at rootfs (/sd-ext)? My post a while back explains the extra commands needed for CM10 and maybe earlier cyanogenmod.
