[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] :
Hello nks2105,

Very glad that my tips helped you :)

Well, I guess the best way for updating is to do it like this:

- Update to v2.6 and WITHOUT BOOTING

- Install the a2sd Script you've previously been using and just after that

- Fix permissions

I'd do it that way :)

Personally I prefer CronMod's INT2EXT+ Script - it's the best A2SD Script I've ever been using - and the best thing: It also gets updated from time to time! :)

My phone booted up after installing v2.6 only - without INT2EXT. But clicking on some apps (like Facebook) showed me an error: "App is not installed." So I went to CWM again and flashed the INT2EXT+ Script. At that moment I was like: ****, I forgot the script from CronMod :S But after booting my phone up again I saw that everything is just fine :)

Now running latest ROM with latest Kernel and (in my opinion) the best 2SD-Script *-*

If anyone wants more detailed instructions how I set up the whole thing, just reply :)

Indeed, I would like to know more about your setup.

Experience7 nice tutorial. In part were you give info about fat32 partition i think that 64kb cluster size is maybe too much but again it all depend how big sd card you have what type.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] :
Thanks :) Well, performance is best with 64 kb cluster size - and I never had problems with it :) So the only thing I can do is to recommend it to everybody :P

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] arminvm:
Experience7. When I change the cluster size from default the android does not recogonizes my sd card! It just recogonizes fat32 and exe4 partitions by default value! Whats the problem so far????

By the way, thank you for your comprehensive tutorial! it was just done great...but regarding your tutorials there were some tips, which I think may be useful (these points are based on my experiences in flashing infinite android roms :D ):

1. I think lefting the default value in cluster size for fat32 and exe partitions is more better or at least recommended.

2. 1 gb exe partition is usually sufficient for installing huge amount of apps (also more recommended by devs). As an example by using INT2EXE+ script and 1 gb exe4 partition, I have installed almost 200 apps and still 500 mb free!!! So do you need more guys?:D

3. As I have experienced and tried before, there is no need to boot after flashing rom and then reboot for flashing the updated kernals. Even there is no need for doing this in flashing INT2EXE+ script. At least there is no need to do this when you are performing a clean install, I mean task29 and so on. Just flash the rom, new kernal, and the a2sd script one after each other.

4. And never forget to FIX PERMITIONS! Just after all the steps and flashing the files, fix permitions and clean dalvik cach. I am advising this because it automatically ignores any potential errors.

5. Enjoy! :D

Thank you guys.

Hello experience7,

Thank you for your detailed guidline which is very useful for the newbies, like me. :good:

I would like to know, could you compare CronMod's INT2EXT+ to the Alex-V script? Can you describe any details about this experience (why do you prefer the INT2EXT+ than the Alex-V)?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SecondNipple:
Can't you just integrate the INT2EXT+, namely the file "40int2ext" into the init.d folder inside the ROM zip archive, so you don't have to flash it manually after installing the ROM?

Do you have to configure anything after flashing INT2EXT+, or will it just install apps to the SD-card automatically?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Charmacas:
As far as I could say by now. The Int2Ext+ script is worth to try out. It runs out of the box and everything seems to be snappier as with the Alex script.

Thanks for pointing me on this nice script. I just installed it and will test it now for a few days.

How to upgrade and change to Int2Ext?

Now I'm on NexusHD2 2.5 version, with Link2SD.

As I managed to install more apps with this software, it now says I dont have enough space left. Which is odd, because I still have 800Mb of the ext3 partition of my SD.

I want to upgrade to version 2.6 and flash Int2Ext.

Can I do that without any factory reset? I don't want to install everything again.

Thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Charmacas:
Backup everything with Titanium Backup. I think it's worth buying the pro version because it then notices after a new installation that your Android device ID changed and set it back to the old one to make apps functioning correctly.

-- EDIT - -

I used and tested my phone now with Int2Ext+ and I think I will stay with this. But a few points should be mentioned.

- I made my keyboard app to a system app via Titanium Backup to have a better responsiveness while typing.

- I also activated ZRAM with the standard of 18 %.

- And I also edited the auto memory manager values.

I am satisfied with this solution but I have to say that with Link2sd the phone runs obviously smoother. But the advantages with the Int2Ext+ script are:

- Easy updating to next ROM version. (I always had problems with Link2sd)

- Much more space for installing apps

- Faster installing or deinstalling because there's no extra app which moves the data 'after' installing it first into the internal store

So far... That were my experiences.

Do someone may have a tip to make it snappier/smoother/faster?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] maneken25:
Pls read few previous pages. Link2sd doesn't move all data from internal to ext partition, so as you use your phone internal memory is slowly filling up. Second thing, link2sd first installs apps on internal memory then it tries to move some files to ext partition. For example in internal memory are left 20mb free memory, you start installation of app which needs 21mb of free space, link2sd will abort instalation no matter how much you have free memory on ext partition cause you don't have enough free on internal memory for initial installation.

If you're going to use some script instead link2sd make backup with titanium pro or you can try backup with some free app from market, they mostly only backup apk files but thats better then nothing.

You must know that backup doesn't guarantee you 100% functionality of apps with new script. Link2sd works different then int2ext script.

Also dont forget to uninstall link2sd before installing new script

Unfortunately hd2 doesn't have alot of room to tweak or boost performance of a2sd scripts.

Imho mount2sd would be great for hd2 but its not 100% compatible with our roms.

What you can only do is trying to find better sd card, by better doesn't mean higher class of card or higher read/write speed. For our phones with a2sd scripts random read/write is crucial for snappier and faster rom with script.

And to find best cards with aquire alot of testing and luck cause manufacturers mostly don't say how much sd card have random read/write speed. For beginning you can measure own random read/write speed of card with Crystalmark software and then search on net for better card with this info.

Random read/write can vary from card to card by 50xtimes so if you have right card you can lower laggines alot.

One more tip, Zram atm doesn't work stable, you can have app crashes or hot reboots, Securecrt fixed this issue and it will work properly in next release of kernel.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Charmacas:
I already knew point with the sd cards. There are many threads here on that topic.

I deactivated ZRAM now but not because of instability, either because of the app loading speed which was horrible.

Thanks!

What I am asking actually (should have mentioned it earlier):

Can I simply uninstall Link2SD, flash INT2EXT and thats it?

(Of course I will back up for just in case).

Can this be done?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Charmacas:
No you have to delete all A2SD scripts first. They are in system/etc/init.d I think.

I dont know how long it should be on the first startup
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] maneken25:
Uninstall link2sd and also check what Charmacas wrote

---------- Post added at 10:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 PM ----------

You encounter problem, normal initial boot doesnt last more then 5 to 10 min.

Did you installed any kind of scripts, did you made correct partition size of system?

Try for start run cwm, do clearing of cache and dalvik cache.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] :
Familiask8: I think there are some wrong values in your flash.cfg for your partition layout. Just check that again and reflash it :) I had the same issue and noticed the problem in my flash.cfg.

@SecondNipple: Well, I don't want to upload a ROM which includes the script because I don't have a very good internet connection. But if you have any problems with the installation I can help you :)

@arminvm

Thanks a lot :) I will include it in my post :) Well, maybe you're right with the cluster sizes. I will just correct my post and set these values to default. I think it won't bring that big performance-boost anyways...

@bandino

Well, I prefer this script because it gets updates from time to time - so you're flexible and always running the new stuff :) And like Charmacas already said: It feels a bit faster (for me too) :P

Any questions? Just write in the forum (I will read it from time to time) or write a PM :)

Hi Guys,

I tried the 2.5 ROM with 3.4 kernel, Alex-V script + securect kernel version and a few days ago switched to the new 2.6 ROM (with securect modification) with croniccorey's INT2EXT+ script.

I have to say that the latter version is much faster on the same hardver and SD card (sandisk 16 GB, class 4) than the former. So, for me INT2EXT+ is the unequivocal winner.

Thanks for adil1508 and experience7 to draw my attention to this possibility.

I can really confirm the good experiences with int2ext+!!!

Really fast, easy to install and updating the rom is easy as hell :)

I allways used link2sd, but updating is nearly impossible with it and i had to do clean installs everytime.

Int2ext+ has only to be flashed (i did it before first boot, directly after flashing rom) and it works.

Give it a try.

Guys, I've partitioned my sd card, and I used it for a while on my HD2

But now, I need a bigger card, so what should I do to replace the partitioned one?

Should I partition the new card first, copy everything from old one to newer one, but how do I get access to partition?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] yoshimitsuHD2:
I used int2ext4+ with an ext4 partition in v2.6 too.

With link2sd i never got it to run after updating without full wipe and clean install, with int2ext its really easy and i had no problems anymore.

Delete the script in system/etc/init.d folder.

Delete your partition with a program like partition wizard.

Create an ext4 partition on your sd.

Download the int2ext4+ script (on ext4 it has faster mount options than int2ext+).

Flash rom, flash script.

Reboot, look if you have sound bugs, than fix permissions.

Have fun ;)

You could copy the whole partition with linux to the new one.

I dont know if it works with copying sd-ext to sd, old sd to new and than the sd-ext to the new one.

Try it ;)

prevented to upgrade some apps

can anyone clarify why I cannot update some apps due to "insufficient storage space" or "package is invalid", given my storage situation and using Link2SD?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] yoshimitsuHD2:
Cause of link2sd first copy or download apps to internal and then to sd-ext.

23MB is very small internal space.

Clear cache, link your user apps to sd-ext, reboot phone and perhaps you will get a little more space.

Or try int2ext script, its much better for me than link2sd

use ubuntu, or other linux, download ubuntu cd, burn, boot it up, no it wont touch your pc if you select try after booting

connect your hd2 to pc on ubuntu , you should see sd-ext partition. I am not sure but, It seems you cant access your portable devies' second partition on windows.

copy sd-ext and and your 1st partition to other flash disc, (for safety) re make your partitions using ubuntu's gparted or cmw. copy sd-ext and 1st partition data from usb flash disc to your freshly partitioned card, while card is mounted using card reader, or using cmw's usb mounting at mounst & storage I think.

I installed v2.7 this week end and I immediately flashed the INT2EX+ zip right after however for some reasons, apps are not moved to sd-ext (I can see there is nothing using a file explorer). There is a bunch of stuff but there is no apps in the app folder.

Any ideas why is that? Back to v2.5, I used the 2nd script from 1st post and it was moving apps correctly but I wanted to try INT2EXT+ following pretty much everybody's recommendations...

Does the partition need to have specific settings apart from the method explain your post no.509?

Edit: Ok I seem to have fixed it. Seems my system partition of 175mb was not agreeing with the script. I switch to a 250mb partition now and all works fine.

Now hopefully we can sort the sound volume without having to fix permissions on every reboot. But it's not a big bother I only reboot phone when i am doing update.

No, you need an ext2,3 or 4 partition.

If you create an ext4 partition use int2ext4+ instead of int2ext+ because it has faster mount options.

Those who are using Link2SD, how is your device performing in comparison to INT2EXT+?

I do find it a bit annoying the small pause when going between apps as I am used to ICS being very smooth. Could it be from my SDcard or is it normal? Or better use Link2SD?

Link2sd is better in performance than int2ext but very bad when you want to install bigger apps (low space because of installing internal first and then to sd-ext) and if you want to update without wiping anything.

So i decided to use int2ext.

After a few days of using i dont notice the lags anymore ^^

I only have a Class 4 SanDisk with 16GB.

I partitioned it with Partition Wizard.

First erased the sd card.

Then created a FAT32 partition.

After this i clicked Move/Resize and set it to nearly 14GB (AFTER the FAT32 partition i had 2048MB of Unlocated Space).

Then i created an EXT4 partition with following settings:

Create As : Primary

File System : Ext4

Cluster Letter : None

Cluster Size : 4KB

Clicked Apply Changes and it was finished ;)

At next point i moved my pictures and music to the FAT32 and moved the rom and the int2ext4+ script to it.

Installed the rom, installed the script (without booting between this steps) and booted into rom.

On first installation i got low sound bug, rebooted into cwr, fixed permissions, finish.

I updated 3times now and got no sound bug or problems with my apps.
