Link2sd is app, there isnt any independent installing of script.

This a2sd script thread. Your question is for main rom thread and not here cause there will all user rom see questions.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] andy_pp:
When you install the link2sd app, it puts its own mount script in the system/etc/init.d folder. You don't need to do anything yourself, and you shouldn't use any other scripts at the same time.

However, when you upgrade the rom (say from 2.2 to 2.3) the upgrade will go a lot smoother if you take the system/etc/init.d/11link2sd script that link2sd installed, and copy it into the same place in the new rom's zip file before flashing it. When I didn't do this, the apps that had been moved didn't work until I'd gone into the link2sd app and recreated the mount script, then rebooted again.

When I manually installed the link2sd script I still got force closes on a few apps after the upgrade, presumably because the dalvik cache for those apps had been created on the ext4 partition and not cleared, but reinstalling them or relinking the dalvik cache in link2sd fixed those.

So yes, link2sd is an app, and usually you shouldn't worry about any scripts, but it does install a script of its own and understanding how it works will help a rom upgrade to go smoothly.

Could you help me?

I'm new to all NAND roms on HD2 (I was on SD roms before).

What I did:

1) flashed MAGLDR

2) made a partition

(both (1) and (2) done with ksubedi's HD2 NAND Toolkit).

3) Restored my apps with Titanium backup and ran into Low Storage Space

4) Downloaded Link2SD

5) Did some moving myself, did Restart, some space freed.

6) Still have Low Storage and cant install anything.

I did not create 2nd partition on the sd, I want to completely move the apps to the SD. In Link2SD it shows that all my installed apps are in the SD card, but still no room left.

It says: Internal (10% Free), Total:166MB, Used:149MB, Free:16MB

SD Card (38% free)

System (15% free)

Cache (10% free).

What can I do to have more room? I just can't install anything new.

Sorry for noob question.

10x.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] maneken25:
As allready if you want install alot of apps youll need to create sd ext part and use some type of a2sd script.

Link2sd doesnt move everything to in you case sd card, as you use apps cache is filled in internal and you dont have aby room left.

Second thing as i allready wrote, link2sd first put app in internal memory then it moves on sd ext or normal partition, you can try to change settings in link2sd to put app on external memory automatic but not sure if it will save you from aborting instalation cause of low internal memory.

Also not sure if link2sd realy do anything except force moving app to sd if you dont have any kind of second partition fat32 or ext, in that case infact you arent realy using link2sd full feature.

To short up, you need second partition to fully benefit from link2sd or a2sd type of script
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bomba6:
Hmmm... thanks.

I saw Link2SD is recommended, so I want to use it properly.

If I will set now the needed partitions:

1) Will it earse the content of my SD-card? (I mean- I have already moved apps to it...)

2) Is there anything else I need to do in order for it to work properly?

How can I partition my SD card like needed?

Again- thank you very much.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pifko:
I got the same problem, I have created all requared partitions and installed link2sd but after some days of use I get an notification about low phone memory. In link2sd I settled up to move everything possible to SD. Anyone help with this ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] halninekay:
Thank you very much.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] maneken25:
1)yes

2) you can partition from Clockwork mod, in advance go to partition sd card. Choose ext size around 500m -1gb no need for bigger, choose swap size 0mb cause youll not use it.

As i said before link2sd dont move everything, advantage of that your rom is very fast but disadvantage is that its leave some type of files in internal memory and while you use rom it fills slowly your internal memory.

Try s2e app or a2sd script, you have tips how to install few pages before if you wish to use more apps
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bandino:
This is a feedback for those newbies (like me) who trying to find the proper script...

I would like to confirm what was emphasized previously by ny_limited. The Alex-V script works without problem, the system is smooth and fast with a huge storage space (of course depends on your ext4 setting) BUT the result is HIGHLY memory card dependant.

I tried three different cards, a noname 8 GB, a class 4 8 GB Sandisk and a class 4 16 GB Sandisk. The first two were terrible, the system was so laggy that I considered going back to Gingerbread, but this last one is a miracle.... :)

A performed the clean ROM installs always in the same way (taking the script into the proper place within a ROM zip file BEFORE installing the ROM) and got absolutely different results.

Beside the speed difference of the systems the other strange issue was that using the noname card and a 8 GB Sandisk I always got the low sound issue AFTER the first reboot (I could fix it with using CWM fix permissions), but using the 16 GB Sandisk it never appeared.

So, a working good script exists :D

Thank you for those experts who helped to find it (ny_limited, vivebatu :good:) !
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] NYLimited:
Just a small note about the sd card's..

I had the same experience with a number of cards, some expensive and fast, some cheap and.. Anyway, the SanDisk Class 4 always worked well for me also. I would have liked to try a SanDisk Class 6 card but I don't think SanDisk makes the 6 any longer. I will wait for a sale and probably buy another SanDisk 32 gb (should be able to get it for US$18 or less) and keep it as a spare.

I suspect the card size (8 GB or 16 GB or 32gb) will impact performance for two reasons: most of us forget to adjust buffer sizes. The default FAT32 format uses different cluster sizes (see below). When using a small or large card the device's read buffer should be adjusted for optimal performance. There are many tools to accomplish this. Likewise, the Amarullz / AlexV script has a buffer that can be altered. The results may be rather interesting.

Partition size Cluster size
-------------------------------------
512 MB to 8,191 MB 4 KB
8,192 MB to 16,383 MB 8 KB
16,384 MB to 32,767 MB 16 KB
Larger than 32,768 MB 32 KB

Thanks for sharing your experience!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] maneken25:
You talking about cluster size of fat32?

So if card is 8gb it needs to be set on 4kb?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] NYLimited:
If the card is 8 gb and formatted to FAT32 the default cluster size is set to 4 kb. You can change it to larger or smaller but that is the default set by the format program.

What I was referring to was the read buffer in Android which can be set from 1 KB to 4 KB. You probably should experiment with it but theoretically if we set it to 1 KB and the card is formatted to 4 KB it will take 4 reads to complete one cluster read. :)

You can change the buffer with a number of apps but it must be reset each time the device is booted. Check

SD Speed increase

or

ROM Toolbox

. There are probably others as well.

For those using Amarullz' script there is also read buffer setting in there around line 22 (depends on other mods made to the script) which is set to 8 KB by default.

Atm have 7gb fat32 with cluster size changed to 32kb and 1gb ext3 and buffer size to 2048 kb. So what would be best combination?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] NYLimited:
I tried 32kb but for some reason I wasn't happy with it. Tytung does recommend 32kb if I remember correctly. I changed mine to 8kb and am using a 3kb buffer at the moment. .

I would say experiment. The FAT partition is easy to copy to the PC and back to try different formats. It gives us something to play with between ROM updates! :D

I wanted to give AlexV script a try last night but it's not moving any app whatsoever. here's what I did:

1. wipe current rom

2. reformat sd-card with primary fat32 and 1024MB primary ext4

3. flashed nexushd2-ICS v2 and let it sit a few minutes then reboot

4. installed root explorer and installed AlexV's script, put it in /etc/init.d. renamed it 02_40a2sd in the same time (thought it wouldn't hurt)

5. reboot to CWM

6. fix permissions then reboot

7. restore a few apps but nothing would go to sd-ext, then reboot

8. repeat 7, same result

9. I have now installed 50+ apps and it seems like nothing has ever been moved to /sd-ext. at least that's what Titanium Backup says.

I'm not sure what went wrong but it's not working the way it's supposed to, is it?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] NYLimited:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nks2105:
Yes I copied the script to /system/etc/init.d after rebooting a couple of times following a clean install of the rom because I forgot to include the script file to the zip prior to flashing it. I read it was a possible workaround since flashing the script from CWM wasn't working ("operation aborted')

Permissions of the files are set to 777
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] NYLimited:
The Alex-V script is not set in a zip that can be flashed. You could get a version of Amarullz' flashable zip and replace the script I suppose.

Or, place it in the ROM and do a pseudo ROM 'update'.

I always placed it in the ROM's zip file so am not sure what you are seeing. The7s give you execute all around so so .. :confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nks2105:
Yea, 777 permissions should work...

As I recall Amarullz' script, as well as the Alex-V mod of the script use an ext4 partition. If you want to use an ext3 (why?) you will have to modify the script of your choice to use ext3 - somewhere between lines 25-35 I think...

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] :
ny_limited got it: The third one is just a zip file which contains the script and is not supposed to be flashed via CWM. Instead try the first one. Bot scripts are the same (extract them if you don't believe me :P)

EDIT:

I installed the ROM yesterday and for me everything is working very smooth and fast - I'm also using the newest kernel and didn't have any problems.

Here's how I set the whole thing up:

Take out the SD-card of your phone and partition it using MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition (7.5). But backup your data first! Just search for a tutorial on how to set up an ext4 partition.

[0)] Install HSPL 2.08 if you haven't already done it

1) Use task29 (Run as an administrator or it will throw out a bunch of errors) to format the internal memory (NAND)

2) Flash the latest Radio ROM

3) Install MAGLDR 1.13

4) Install ClockworkMod Recovery - I'm using v5.5.0.4 by arif-ali and it's working fine.

5) Go to CWM and flash NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA_V2.5.zip file.

6) After flashing process is done let the phone boot. If it asks for a PIN shutdown the phone.

7) Boot into CWM and install the Kernel update r3.4 which you can find here: http://code.google.com/p/nexus-hd2/downloads/list?q=label:ICS+label:Kernel+label:HWA

8) After kernel installation let the phone boot up again until it asks for a PIN. Shutdown again.

9) Boot into CWM again and install the 40ad2sdx-a2Recovery.zip file. After flashing is done, go to advanced > fix permissions. This will take a few moments.. for me it took around 10-15 seconds.

10) Reboot phone and shutdown at PIN entry.

11) Boot a last time into CWM and fix permissions again (the second one is to fix the low sound issue).

12) Congratulations. Just boot again and enter PIN. Now you can set up everything.

I tried a few a2sd scripts now and like already said.. this way it works best for me :)

Finally i saw adil1508 post and tried this script. It workes fine with no bug. booted the ROM, which took around 10mins the first time. and everything works fine. no fixing permissions, no sound bug. no lags. The second boot take around 55secs with loads of apps installed.

2. Wipe data cache,

4. Flashed tytungs 3.4 Kernal

5. Flashed crons INT2EXT+

6. Rebooted. done.

Hi,

first of all, thanks for your work :good:

I've been using this rom for a week now (was using a 2.3.something rom before) and I like this one, but im experiencing some issues which are driving me crazy.

The first one is that the data connection stops working from time to time, and whenever I use WiFi, the data connection wont work again until I restart the phone (sometimes not even that works).

The second thing is that after 2 or 3 days, applications start to force close, the SIM locks again, or the phone reboots itself. Today, I had to format and reinstall everything because the phone was constantly rebooting and locking the SIM. I believe this issues started happening more oftenly after using Link2SD.

I tryed to find some info about this problems on the post but couldnt't find any solution.

Anything you can think of?

Thanks in advance!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] NYLimited:
I don't have a solution for you but I do have a suggestion.

Do a full factory wipe and a clean install of nothing but the ROM.

Do not install any script, ap2sd apps and, if possible, do not install any apps (or only a very few you must have)

Use the ROM that way for a few days. If the problem doesn't come back you will know it isn't the ROM.

Installing one thing every day or two afterward will tell you what is causing your problems.
