Downld script to sdcard

mount system/ and mount/data

flash the script

is procedure enough & correct??

or

any more steps required like renaming the files in folder init.d to 40int2ext after flashing the script? is reqd or not??

Thanx:laugh::good:
[Android Software Development] sauron82:
Mounts data, system and sd-ext, then flash. Or you can add it the rom before flashing by putting the script file in system/etc/init.d in the rom.zip.

[Android Software Development] dk75:
OK.

Then in recovery, mount /system, connect phone to computer and post result of:

adb shell ls -lAh /system/etc/init.d

GPS may work in a Galaxy Ace S5839i

Hi all.

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Ace S5839i, with MindCr v2.2 rom and Int2ext+ GPS testing copy installed; 1Gb ext3 partition and 64Mb swap. The SD is an 8 GB Samsung class6 card.

Since I installed the script the GPS worked fine … until the first reboot. When I did it, the GPS did not work any more (I could not even see the flashing icon in the status bar).

But now I have discovered a system that may help you to find a solution/fix for this issue:

With ClockWorkRec5830i I made a nandroid backup. After this I tried different, and not relevant at all at this moment, scripts and installation procedures. Finally I discovered that If I restore only de sd-ext of my nandroid (backup and restore/Advanced Restore/Restore sd-ext) then the GPS starts working again … until the next reboot.

Regards.
[Android Software Development] dk75:
Try this.

Install either GPS Status or GPS Test from Google Play Store and clear AGPS data with it:

GPS Status - phone menu button, Tools menu, Manage A-GPS state sub-menu, Reset button

GPS Test - phone menu button, Settings menu, Clear AGPS button

This is a wild guess, but there's possibility, that there was some AGPS data saved to /sd-ext before that need to be accessible during boot for GPS to work - but when cleared, GPS will work and you could save that data to internal memory when /sd-ext not available.

It'll cost nothing but it's worth of trying.
[Android Software Development] Rasec2002:
I tried as you said:

With the GPS in working conditions I cleared A-GPS data with GPS Test Plus. Then I turned my Galaxy Ace 5839i off and then on. After that the GPS did not work (as I said, I cannot even see the blinking icon in the status bar).

Then I switched off the phone, and I made a nandroid backup with CloWorkRec5830i. I restored that very same sd-ext backup (backup and restore/Advanced Restore/Restore sd-ext). I rebooted and then the GPS is working again … until the next reboot?

Regards.
[Android Software Development] dk75:
OK.

If the script is working properly, then there is no /sd-ext mounted. But everything you've restored to /sd-ext during recovery is now on /data.

Could you post list o files on main directory of /data when GPS is working and another one when it is not?

And additionally list of files from /sd-ext directory?
[Android Software Development] sauron82:
I'm running int2ext+, but I want to try the GPS fix version. Can I just flash that over the current script and keep all my data? Or will I lose whatever's on the partition?

Sent from my Galaxy Ace
[Android Software Development] Rasec2002:
Basically the script works because I have the ext3 partition acting as internal memory, but there is some sort of conflict with the GPS.

Well, there is a lot of stuff in both folders so I have attached the correspondent screenshots. In both cases there is a GPS sub-folder which is not empty.

I did the screen shots with working GPS and also with non-working GPS (after reboot), and basically the content of both folders seems to br the same.

I have used Root Browser Lite.

Using Easeus Partition Manager I realized that the content of the sd-ext folder inside the phone is not identical to the actual ext3 partition in the SD card. I also included screen shots of this content.

Regards.
[Android Software Development] Rasec2002:
Before installing the GPS fis script you have to delete the previous one.

What I did was to delete the 40int2ext file from the /system/etc/init.d folder. Then turn off and reboot into recovery. Install the new script WITHOUT formating the SD again. No wipes are needed. You will keep all your data and apks, but a previous nandroid backup and titanium backup are always a good idea.

Regards.
[Android Software Development] dk75:
Screen-shots aren't supposed to be used to find something but to show how it looks, and looks, is not what is required here.

I, and presumably croniccorrey@, would like text file with a result of

adb shell ls -lAh /data

than screen-shots - I've could put it to DIFF which would find me diferences.

Though, screens from Root Browser includes permissions which was helpful as it seams that nothing different is here.

But there is one thing unresolved - ownership; which screen-shots didn't showed.

And one more thing - it would be interested to find every file related to GPS:

adb shell find / -regex '.*gps.*'

And last resort - try to flash file from attachment. There was no /data/gps mounting in original.
[Android Software Development] Rasec2002:
Hello again.

I am learning as fast as I can about adb, but with little success so far.

Meanwhile I tested the CronMod-INT2EXT+-GPSBugTestingv2_signed.zip file but the situation did not change.

Then I returned to the former INT2EXT+ GPS Testing Copy. When I was installing it I checked the mount menu option (in recovery) and I found the following:

•	Mount /boot

•	Mount /recovery

•	Unmount /cache

•	Mount /data

•	Unmount /system

•	Mount sd/card

•	Mount /sd-ext

Then I mounted sd-ext and rebooted.

Surprisingly the GPS worked again, but If I reboot the sd-ext gets back to unmount again and the GPS does not work.

Regards
[Android Software Development] dk75:
What scripts do you have in /system/etc/init.d ?

It seems that something is forcing to use /sd-ext/gps for GPS data, so if you can post ZIP containing /system/etc/ini.d folder it could help... maybe.
[Android Software Development] Rasec2002:
Thanks for your efforts.

Here you are.
[Android Software Development] dk75:
There's nothing here, except that you double ZIPALIGN scripts, as one is inside of INT2EXT+, so 99MindZip you should delete.

So we need to find another culprit.

Sysctl maybe?
[Android Software Development] Rasec2002:
I cannot find sysctl in my phone (it should be in /system/etc/)
[Android Software Development] dk75:
Can you access LbsTestMode?

Maybe here is something "hardcoded".
[Android Software Development] Rasec2002:
Yes, I can access, and also Im using adb little by little.

This LbsTestMode seems very similar to an apk named AngryGPS. :confused:
[Android Software Development] dk75:
Dunno, it seems. Never had Samsung phone so can't tell.

That's why it's so hard tell why GPS works so strange on yours.

Maybe we doing circle where something simple is missing.

Could you test new INT2EXT script on pristine clean phone (wiped full, no nandroid/bart/cwm restore).
[Android Software Development] Rasec2002:
Well, I installed that INT2EXT+GPSBugTestingv3_signed.zip but had FC with the launcher and some other apps. Then I returned to the original CronMod-INT2EXT+_signed.zip. The GPS is now working with the same mount /sd-ext trick.

I must say thay I only wiped cache and dalvik-cache, cause I do not want to lose all my apps at this moment. Perhaps the last solution will be to begin from the scratch with another rom (Ace Cream, may be).

Thanks a lot, again, for your time.
[Android Software Development] dk75:
Didn't you've done nandroid/bart/cwm backup before?

Because this exercise was to rule out your ROM interaction.

It might be, that /sd-ext must be mounted for it to work properly, but INT2EXT is removing /sd-ext from the picture, so ROM is going crazy (at least part of it - GPS).

And with INT2EXT to work properly, either you need to have ROM that don't do anything fancy to /sd-ext or full wipe.

PS: last try?

Update from attachment is basically original INT2EXT+GPSBugTest but it bind /data to /sd-ext making it available for system... it's crazy but might work for you.
[Android Software Development] Rasec2002:
Hello again:

I do not know exactly what your idea is now, but I do can make nandroid backup from the recovery (ClockWorkRec5830i).

I could backup when I had the stock rom installed.

I could backup when I first time installed MindCr rom.

And I can now with MincCr rom and Int2ext+ script installed.

In the last two cases the sd-ext part exists inside the backup.

The problem is that the last time I tried to restore a backup I received an error message and the process was aborted cause it was not able to restore the boot. But I could restore manually the other parts: system, data, sd-ext...

Unfortunately, the CronMod-INT2EXT+-GPSBugTestingv4_signed.zip did not work either.

I´m pretty sure that the problem is a conflict between the rom and the script, but I like both things a lot, specially the script.

Is there any apk that can mount/unmount directly?

Regards.
[Android Software Development] dk75:
I don't think so.

You could install and run terminal emulator, then inside it:

su

for logging to ROOT account, then bind manually:

mount -o bind /data /sd-ext

dunno if it will do anything for GPS, since flashing script didn't do it, but might try
[Android Software Development] Rasec2002:
Thanks for your help.

I think that I don´t dare to go beyond this point. This is not the only failure with this rom: I`ve also lost the IMEI (although I can make phonecalls!!) and the Kies does not recognize the phone.

Probably I will get back to a stock rom and then try with a different rom.

Best regards.

Using INT2EXT+ with NIGHTLIES CYANOGENMOD10 on HTC WildFire S and it's not working, any suggestions?
[Android Software Development] DevilMind007:
plz make an UNINSTALLER SCRIPT also for "CronMod-UNINSTALLER_signed.zip"

so that if we want to update to new or another script we can do it immediately with safety as well

thank you
[Android Software Development] Silentbob999:
That will never be "safe".

First, if you need the script you don't have the space to revert.

Secondly, reverting means moving a lot of data, means high risk of corruption.

Giving an un installer script would give the false impression of safety to user.

Just backup, FULL WIPE, and restore what you really need.

hi all. How can I remove A2SD script from my ROM ? please help

[Android Software Development] exProphecy:
hi hi script works great but I have a tiny problem. The apps are definitely moving to my sdext as I see them in there but when I go into my internal storage, it still shows my normal internal memory available which is around 100 mbs. whenever I install something, it just stays the same like 1.5mbs out of 100mbs available. Shouldn't it state my internal storage as my sdext? my sdext is about 1.5gbs. oh and I'm using A2SD++ on a ported CM9 ROM

edit: wait after I installed something it changed to, -17968858.07 or something kb and 198 mbs unused? what's going on here and how do I fix this kraziness lols
[Android Software Development] mixednuts:
I couldn't figure out a way to find out available storage space, however, I'm sure there's plenty of ways. I'm just sharing how I eventually decided to do it - I installed an app from the Play Store called Storage Analyser... I find it impressive. You could give that a try?
[Android Software Development] exProphecy:
I don't really want an app to tell me; I'd much rather fix the problem internally but thanks though
[Android Software Development] mr-tical:
Hey

I have few questions:

A2SD series: scripts moves data's to sd so internal memory is free but app/data loading speed is slow for slow sdcards?

D2EXT series: this moves data's too and automaticaly mounts it?

INT2EXT/4 series: this moves data's too and automaticly mounts it and it works better with EXT4 than D2EXT?

Now i have class4 sd (but propably i'll buy class10) and low internal memory in my X8 ~200MB, so i think which script to choose.

If my understanding is good, moving data/data or data/dalvik-cache to sd will decrease performance and it's better to move only data/app? But data/app is not so big, the largest number of MB are just data/dalvik-cache and data/data, so maybe A2SD+ is the best choice (leave data/data in internal)?

But many times in this topic the INT2EXT/4 series are recommended as good performance and free internal memory, but this "100mb internal is needed for every 500mb sd-ext (INT2EXT+/INT2EXT4+)" and the bug list for this series are not good for me :(

So, conclusion is: which to choose for my ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1188486?

Best choice will be A2SD+ as moves data/app and data/dalvik-cache to sd and leave data/data in internal for best performance while loading apps etc?

Cheers
[Android Software Development] post-mortem:
The best for mobile phones is class 4 or 6. Class 10 will be slower. Class 10 is best for recording digital video.
[Android Software Development] sauron82:
How can class 10 be slower? If it's faster everywhere else then it should be fast here too.

[Android Software Development] post-mortem:
See this for more information:

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/microsdhc-memory-card-performance,3011-12.html

Note that for mobile devices, the 4KB test is more applicable than the 512KB test.
[Android Software Development] sauron82:
CWM doesn't format as ext4, only ext3. So if you partition in CWM and set up for ext4 it won't work. If you set it for ext3 it should work fine.

To format for ext4, you need to plug it into a computer using a card reader, not a USB cable.

Mount system, data and sd-ext before flashing script, then reboot. Go to Settings->Apps or Settings->Storage and you should see it working.

I used to use S2E, with my apps and my dalvik on the sd-ext partition, and the data left where it is by default. I have a few questions about the different scripts.

The script that doest that is A2SD+, right? A2SD moves the apps, and A2SD+ moves apps & dalvik? How is INT2EXT+ different? Which is the fastest? I was pretty happy with speed while using S2E, and I noticed that things are a bit slower in general now that I'm running INT2EXT+. Why is using a script better than using an app? Should I be using a different script?

Not sure why it's not working, but your partition is unnecessarilly big. You don't need more than 512MB, maybe 1GB. I've never gotten close to filling 500MB. A 2GB partition just isn't needed.

I'm not saying you can't afford the space, but how many / what apps are you running that take up that much space? I'm just curious 'cause I've never heard of anyone needing that much room. Do you download GPS maps to your phone or something?

[Android Software Development] sauron82:
Autocad and Photoshop, you might be better off with a tablet/laptop and an onboard GPS lol. Talk about pushing the capabilities of your device.

Not sure what you mean by "then i flash the script i am booting into recovery". Reboot to recovery, format sd-ext (if you're using CWM then you'll only get ext3), mount data, system and sd-ext, flash script and reboot into main system.

If you're having a problem, list what you did step by step so people know what you tried/did wrong.

you have to check if your kernel has init.d support

it works with cm9 you need to format your partitions as follows "1- fat 32 2-ext 2/3/4" if you have done all those things it is most likly that your kernel does not support init.d or ext 2/3/4 file systems.
