I don't think it was legit to be honest mate. I doubt they would have had to raise that much money within such a short space of time just to be able to go into development. If they really thought they'd be able to sell it, they'd be no harm in waiting until they raised tbe money themselves.

I just got my skyrocket back from my brother he flashed the VK1 radio for tmobile and said it worked just fine in California. When i got the phone it wasnt connecting to the service and I continually attempted to manually search for the sim card through settings>Wireless and networks. It searched for about a second then stopped. Tried auto, no luck. Switched the radio to the KID and didnt work. This phone has been nothing but problems and I just need to fix it can someone please help

Hi Everyone :)

I am creating this thread because most of the people still asking how to move the apps 2 sd on ICS, as the app2sd dt is not working.

So here is a step by step guide to do it.

1st you need any root explorer.

I am using the File Manager (because the Root Explorer is getting FCs on ICS)

Here is the link to the File Manager

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rhmsoft.fm&feature=search_result

Load the File Manager

Go to setting and Tick the root explorer and Mount System Folders.

(Allow the Super User Permission)

Then download this file

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=890365&d=1328558597

Unzip it and paste it in the sdcard.

Now open the File Manager

Copy The "S2E" from the sdcard\ICS_simple2ext\system\app

and paste it to the system\app (presented in the root folder)

Similarly copy the "20userinit" file from the sdcard\ICS_simple2ext\system\etc\init.d

And paste it to the system\etc\init.d (presented in the root folder)

It will ask to replace the file, so Just Replace it

Now open the S2E from the app drawer and configure the following :

- Menu->Settings: Check "Extended partiton info", "Mount as ext4" and "Set read buffer"

-Reboot your phone

-Start S2E again : Check "Applications" , "Private apps"

-Reboot your phone

Note: If you like you can also check the "Dalvik Cache" and the "Download cache"

You will get around 170 mb internal memory free out of 178 mb.

Special Thanks to:

Maclaw and His Team for Providing us the ICS

Works perfectly, this is the right method. Tested and used on v6 and v7 too.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] djph4ntom:
followed the guide exactly. move the file to the specific location. after i restarted my phone there was no s2e app installed. tried opening it manually from system/app but i got this error : There is a problem parsing the package . the script is there, the 20userinit file, i tried using a2sd DT GUI but it says there is a problem with the script

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
it is, but originally for another phone I think, but I saw the script and you should be able to install it in recovery, just make a backup, and mount system before flashing, the script doesn't do this.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] lemene:
Nice guide.

However I simply tried with sucess this app2sd app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd&hl=en
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasleo17:
U are not able to move the system apps through thie link you have posted.

It just moves the installed apps to sd. So thats why you will not be able to get the maximum possible free space on the internal storage.

The App 2 SD is just a simple functioning app, not an app that makes the internal memory free
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] lemene:
Ah, I see.

Thanks, indeed there's a lot of apps that will not move.

I'll follow the guide then.

---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 PM ----------

And worked great! Was able to free 130 MB!

btw reboot does not install se2 so I install it manually.

Also my root explorer works ok with gio's ICS.

thanks works!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] AlwaysDroid:
I am going to do this on my gio right now. But i just installed beta 8 and have to restore from Titanium backup. It installs them to phone, but if i move to SD does the WHOLE thing go or does it leave a bit? Also isnt i risky to put system apps on SD or would things like gmail, mail etc be okay? Im a noob to A2sd sorry :p

No problem you can move every thing to sd-ext. :-)

Just don't worry about that.

Okay thanks! What would you reccomend as a good partition size? i have 2gb left on my 4gb card.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] CoreWolf:
In your case 512mb or 1gb, you have a small sdcard.

I have 8gb ext4 partition on my 32gb sdcard :cool: , 1.7gb free for apps

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] AlwaysDroid:
Thanks man! I only have 71mb free though, for some reason I cant move the dalvik cache. Its not highlighted. Amy ideas? It would free another 99mb.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] AlwaysDroid:
It won't detect my ext either :/. What did I do wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasleo17:
Try to follow this guide for partition making

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20397925&postcount=4

Just make a ext4 instead of the ext2.

And If the Davilk cache isn't moving then you have to

Wipe the cache and davilk cache in the recovery and than try again.

If it still doesn't work , you have to wipe caches and also have to do a factory reset.

Than just follow the guide.

I have moved the

1. Applications

2. Private Apps

3. Dalvik Cache

4. Download Cache

I have created the 1gb ext4 parition on 4 gb card.

And I have 171 mb free from the 178 mb.

I did a factory reset and wiped cahce , again flashed the ics beta8. I did this because to make you people confirm that its working on beta 8. without any problems :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] AlwaysDroid:
I used CWM to make the partition, that shouldn't be the problem. As for the dalvik, when I try to clear it via CWM it kicks me back out the main screen when I press on it and never clears. Somethings Buggy here. And I don't really want to do a factory reset right now cause I just did one, flashed cm9 b8 restored apps with titanium backup and then did this s2ext. My ROM and data is pretty fresh.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
you are problably using cwm 5.0.2.[!]7[!], download px-cmw-v2.zip in cm7.1 topic, and use that one for cleaning the dalvik, its a known bug, so after doing that you can just flash back to .7 again instead of .6
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] AlwaysDroid:
Thanks for the help I'll try that when i get home
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] AlwaysDroid:
EDIT: Partition maker found it as an ext3 partition. That was the problem.

Thanks for all the help, i appreciate it! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] anonxlg:
have question

so i did this ext partition on my 2gb card and reserved 512mb for ext and 64mb for swap

i know this frees internal memory but if i never use all my internal memory and i can installed all my apps to sd card already (the normal way), what exactly is the advantage here

also, how do i view this ext partition, mounted in windows7 and i dont see another partition on the card (just a smaller sized memory card)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
windows can't handle these partitions, but linux, so does android, can.

so in windows your sd card just looks smaller because of the other ext partiton, wich windows can't use/handle.

you shouldn't use swap at all, reduces your sd card lifetime, and maybe your phone's too..
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Nytmarez:
I was struggling for 2 days to get the damn S2E working and it finally turned out that the Read Buffer option in S2E did actually corrupt the Ext4 partition as stated in phiexz's tutorial so be careful about this one! S2E works quite OK without read buffering for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] CoreWolf:
Hmm, i don't use swap as i have a €35 32GB sdcard

But with 2GB(worthless piece of ****) it doesn't matter xD
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] calav3ra_de:
Hey guys, two questions.

1) I thought swap is for extending RAM, so i used 512MB (biggest size avail.).

2) S2E (i only moved dalvik cache) is horribly slow. After 2 hours of using

i got sick lags in every app.

Now i wonder what is causing this. My sdcard has very good random r/w values (8gb sandisk). I think it may be the swap partition.

what do you guys think?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] AlwaysDroid:
I agree. I dont have swap on mine, but the dalvik is on SD and my phone isnt lagging at all. For the most part, swap really isnt necessary. Just could just use zram if you are worried about ram.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] calav3ra_de:
I disabled swap now and this time it seems to be OK. Lets see how it behaves.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] AlwaysDroid:
alright, now its my turn to ask a question. I just came across my first downfall with moving the dalvik to SD. Nandroid is stuck trying to backup cache. Im guessing the reason is that nandroid cant find the dalvik because it is not symbollically linked by S2e since we arent booted into the actaul OS. Anyway i can get nandroid to backup?

EDIT: solved. The CWM was flakey. using PX recovery now, works like a chaarm.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] calav3ra_de:
Scriptmanager not starting up - hanging. Nothing visible in logcat either. Hrm. Is S2E responsible for this?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] AlwaysDroid:
I had the same problem trying to execute v6 supercharger. I ended up having to use terminal emulator.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] ItachiSama:
Problem (but not such a problem) with S2E.

With the latest CM9 GalaxyICS build (beta8) S2E works, but shows everytime apps have to be moved on the ext. Solution for this annoying bug?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] calav3ra_de:
yeah and i found out that you need to use busybox to make the terminal emulator run scripts.

so the solution is:

open terminal emulator

run "su" command

run script for example by running "busybox sh scriptfile.sh"

:)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] ItachiSama:

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] CoreWolf:

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] mykel37:
Yes, I did, I even tried to change the permission and when I reboot s2e appear in the app drawer, and I did the checking of "mount ext4" and "set read buffer" and I reboot but still I can't transfer the dalvik cache to the SD ext
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasleo17:
The very first thing that You should check the ext partition type through pc, weather its ext4 or ext3.

Because when you do factory reset through clock recovery, the partition type changes to ext3.

Its just a problem with the ext partition, not the method
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] mykel37:
Oh, I did not know that , OK I will check when I get home, thanks for the explaination really appreciated :)

edited: yes it is ext3,
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasleo17:
Ok remake the partition from the pc with partition mini tool, make it ext4 type.

And rest is same just follow this method.

If it still not working just flash the rom without the factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] mykel37:
its working now! :) THNX

What is the advantage of this against titanium backup? I can use it to move apps to sd as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] LastBlessings:
Guys!! S2E v2.0 is in the play store and it obviously supports ICS, because I can download it... but anyway thank you for this nice guide:)

Will try it now;)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] AlwaysDroid:
Titanium backup can't move the dalvik cache. If you have the pro you might be able to. But s2e does it for you, you don't have to do it each time you install a new app. Plus it puts them on sd but leaves a bit on the phone. S2e tricks the whole thing onto the sd partition.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] sbbnm_2005:
s2e 2.1 dont support our cm9 ...

do u test it ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasleo17:
The above procedure is working fine :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] drdnght mrk lazarus:
I got it working, but I do have to mention one thing

it kept saying reboot required even though I did.

in /system/etc/init.d/ you have 2 userinit files

you can remove the 90userinit file

explained here: https://github.com/GalaxyICS/android/issues/91

removed it and it didn't ask to reboot anymore

scared to update S2E to the newest version though
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] AlwaysDroid:
So the yesterday i rebooted my phone, and it took a LONG time to boot. I found this very strange, it usually only takes 50 seconds, not 5min. but when i booted up everything that runs of off my ext4 s2e partition was GONE, i rebooted a couple times, did a superclean (wipe dalvik and cache), but everything is still gone.

I remember reading that setting read buffer can corrupt your ext4 partition. Is this what happened to me?

Can i save my files that were there?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasleo17:
yes exactly. And one more thing please do check via pc the format of your ext partition, the recovery changes it to the ext3 from ext4 if you do hard reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] AlwaysDroid:
Good Call, it has been formatted to ext2. If i reformat, i lose everything. What should i do now?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasleo17:
Just format to the ext4 partition, by using the partition mini tool on pc. And dont do a factory reset when flashing a rom.

I prefer u should use phiexz 0.3.6 beta touch recovery. That doesnt seems to have this bug
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] farmtool33:

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] farmtool33:
ok thank you but i have another problem.

on the S2E APP

the applications and private Apps are checked but i want to check the dalvik cache to because it takes a lot of space..

but i cant check it anymore, the box to check is black..

on my options i have checked extended partitions info mount as ext4 and set read buffer .

How do i move the dalvik Cache to The sd ?

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] DeviantSun:
@farmtool33: That happens. I couldn't manage to change any settings without first removing all checks from Application/Private Applications, etc., rebooting and reselecting the options I want to have moved to sd-ext. So my only suggestion would be doing that; remove all check from the main screen, reboot and reselect whatever you want moved to sd-ext.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] DeviantSun:
Does anyone manage to enable "Data" section. Whenever I check "Data" section, some programs (ie: Flipboard, Firefox, etc.) cannot be installed and display the error "Insufficent Storage". If I remove the check from "Data", the problem ends, and I can install them without a problem.

So does anyone know why we cannot enable data, and what is the cause of it?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] DeviantSun:
Does anyone managed to activate this in the new Beta 9? I still couldn't do it.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasleo17:
Your card has been formatted to the ext3 type, when you wiped it through the recovery.

It is a recovery bug.

Just insert the card in card reader connect to the pc, format the ext partition to ext4.

Use the touch recovery by phiexz 0.3.06 beta

Install the Rom again.

Follow the s2e procedure and you are done
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] smash1986hu:
The card is EXT4. I formatted it. And I checked it. That was my first thought too...

The second was, that it's already full. But no. The third was checking if I changed something in the performance settings, which could effect installing apps. But no. Totally fresh ROM. Did wipe again, tried again -> same situation.

There's really no other option than this, and Link2SD?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DestroytheNexus:
What exactly is the difference between internal and USB storage on the Nexus S? It only has internal memory that's not expandable so why bother with the separation?

Also should I be moving apps to the USB storage since the internal storage of 1GB is 2/3 filled with apps?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XK72:
The Nexus S uses a single 16GB flash module that is partitioned into two volumes instead of one smaller flash module and an expandable memory slot (SD) setup found in many other phones. The "Internal Storage" is the internal flash memory needed by Android to house the OS installation. The "USB Storage" is partitioned separately to allow the volume to be mounted, which lets you simultaneously use your phone while performing read and write operations on the "external" volume. If it wasn't set up this way, you would have to forego the ability to use your phone while it was mounted. It also allows you to erase and flash a new ROM without affecting "USB Storage" contents (photos, custom ringtones, music, etc.).

If your app has the option to be moved to "external" storage, the only drawback is that you won't be able to access it on the phone while the volume is mounted.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DestroytheNexus:
Oh, ok. Thanks. I never bothered using the phone when it is in USB storage mode, but it actually still works except some apps say "not installed".
