[HTC Pico (Explorer)] SherazHashmi:
I am using stock rom on rooted htc explorer, I tried installing a2sd on it through guide on Darktremor official facebook page but i always get an error meaning I'm not able to install it.

My sd card is ext3 partitioned. I tried installing beta02, using gingerbread. Can anyone tell me how do I install it?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] soulheart17:
i dont think it will work on stock rom because stock rom doesn't support init.rc script.

may developers can help you in this case

Visit-http://www.bongizmo.com/blog/moving-all-android-apps-to-sdcard-apps2sd-froyo/

Hit thanks if helped
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] hell_lock:
to run a2sd u need 2 things

1.Init.d and a2sd supported kernel

2.app2sd scripts
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] rr0yy:
Instal busybox first.. then it will work!!
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] SifJar:
I'm trying to figure this out at the moment too. I think from what I can gather what you need to do is install a custom kernel. As I understand it, most of the Explorer custom kernels should work (although not the ones for the CM ROMs etc.). Something like Cranium or Titanium should do the job.

After installing that, it should be relatively straightforward, provided you haven't already got a FAT32 partition full of apps via link2SD (which I do...).

Hope you get it working, if you manage please do post back here with what you did and how it went, as I will probably be attempting this in the next week or two and would appreciate your experience.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] BleedingIris:
Alright people!

Based on trial and error method:

Step by step instruction for a2SD on stock ROM

1.nandroid backup

2.backup all apps with titanium backup

3.unlink all apps if you're using link2SD and uninstall link2sd

3.1 install busbox from play store and install it.

4.backup and then format sdcard

5.partition with ext in recovery

2gb is enough

6.flash darktremors a2sd beta4 in recovery and then flash cranium kernel #2 or 800MHzkernel or kernel from ateeq ROM

7.wipe cache Dalvik cache and reboot

8.install a2sd gui

9.see if worked in gui

10.click move dalvik 2 sdext

11.wait for it

12.then move app data to sdcard with titanium backup after every app installation

13.enjoy HTC

FAQ:

1.I get "error installing from bla bla bla.zip"status 0

A:

Take the update binary from cranium kernel #2 and put it in the beta4 zip...

Just delete the update binary in beta4 and put the binary from cranium kernel zip

2.Now I get mount requires 4 args got only 3 status bla bla bla

A:

Well this time it'll be complicated..

Now open the update script with any text editor es note editor

You'll find that in beta4.zip you have mount system and then 3 parameters like "/data , etc etc," now you have to add a fourth parameter like this mount("yaffs2", "MTD", "system", "/system"); and the same way for data

If you're crazy enough, all you have to do is just copy and paste all the files in the beta4.zip in it's respective location and then give it permissions 777 (use terminal and es explorer)

And voila your zip finally installs!

That's it people!

If you don't understand anything mentioned here,google it search and search in xda until you find it.

All I can say is that it can be done and actually I'm sending this post from such a dt a2sd enabled stock ROM with 401apps in total!

Anyway all the best

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] SifJar:
But I have 593MB of linked apps...How can I unlink them into about 18MB of free space on internal memory?

Also out of curiosity, which specific kernel do you use?

Thanks for your list of steps though, should prove quite helpful if I do finally get round to doing this.

EDIT: I am starting the process. I have made a nandroid backup and Titanium Backup of all apps + data. I have also uninstalled almost all my linked apps, moved a few to internal. Hopefully in the next few days I will be able to get DT apps2SD fully functional and then restore the Titanium Backup. I shall probably use cranium #2 kernel, is this the best option?

EDIT: Why do you recommend #2 and not #3? Is #3 buggy?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] BleedingIris:
Yes #3 has a major bug..

Delete all apps except essentials..after all you have titanium backup

I'd prefer the 800kernel posted by akya22 but it causes random reboots on my phone.(it might not on other phones though)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] SifJar:
Excellent, thank you. I will probably try this next weekend, I really need my phone during the week and can't afford to risk messing it up, but next weekend I should have time to fix it if I encounter a problem.

Thanks for your help.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] BleedingIris:
Wiping data in some stock roms will end up in a stuck HTC logo

Just backup your fonts folder in data and after wiping data put it back in the data using aroma
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] SifJar:
Just want to say that I have installed Cranium #2 and DT apps2SD script now, and things seem to working OK. I am in the process of restoring all my apps with Titanium (I sprung for the Pro version, so I could batch restore without clicking "Install" hundreds of times, if anyone else is doing this, I advise doing likewise), currently have about 53MB of free space (I think I maybe need to move data separately or something? I did have 82MB free earlier). But all in all, it seems reasonably successful :)

Thanks again ptcpayne for your assistance.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] BleedingIris:
Glad to hear it...

You need to move app data to sdcard with titanium backup-first move app data of 1 app and then you can batch move...

Btw,if someone is so poor enough,know that you can batch restore apps with free version of ROM toolbox lite and batch restore data with titanium backup

---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------

@ sifjar can you tell if you can extract apps from nandroid backup with titanium pro?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] SifJar:
I ended up opening terminal emulator and typing "a2sd datasd", which did the job just fine. Plus this way I believe it should automatically be done for all future apps.

As for extracting apps from nandroid: Yes, it would appear so.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] BleedingIris:
I tried it...moving data back and forth but sometimes large cups of data are lost..including google accounts..but only during the moving process..

..also, I would like some special data to remain in internal memory like contacts....
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] SifJar:
I am yet to find any app with data missing, but I haven't run all apps yet since doing this I don't think. The important ones are all fine though.

And I find contacts to be fine from SD.

To each their own I guess ;)

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] venkat kamesh:
first flash rom wipe/data and reboot

for the second boot flash patch and reboot no need of any wipe

if you flash continuously or flashing rom/patch at once the files will be messed and causes bootloops

this rom is tested according to all services and posted :)

No you cant. You need to first flash a gingerbread rom from odin. Download the tar file of any current gb roms from alpha8.3. Then flash this update zip from recovery.

U can flash g3mod kernel.

Then use zip file to flash this rom.

REVIEW

PROS-

asusual good looking

u did a great job... done what u mentioned in the changelog

CONS-

videos are lagging a bit (after a while)

cam issue.. this time better than previous update

font size is too small

bootanimation has white flashes

request- will u add some more opions from AOKP to cosmic settings
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] h4r5h:
Woah, I just gave this ROM a shot and I must admit, I'm pretty impressed with it. :)

It's got all the stuff I've been looking for in a ROM. To sum it up for others, it's got all the features of CM7 + it's got the stability and smoothness that was present in Eclair. Thumbs up from my side. :good:
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] zimbara:
Great rom, very smooth. Just one question, how can i remove the transparency of the status bar and the settings background?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] venkat kamesh:
thanks to every one in group

thanks mate

i will give a small update patch and i had moded some with systemui too so may be today i will post you

thanks mate if i had mobile i may do few more with it :)

thanks for the info and previously as coming to hq videos are not playing with stock player but they are now playing better :) and i will improve them as soon as possible

and bootanimations my friend who tested said works perfect and font is same like previous i had not changed them :) if you find them as wrong i will give you a personal patch for font or you can get them here on xda

could you intimate me new settings from AOKP sure i will add them to CosmIc settings not a problem

thanks mate :)

its a framework result of transparency if you need it as non transparency i can provide on possible reasons

and i was really satisfied with new result thanks mates for giving me result :)

BTW, I would also prefer a non-transparent status bar patch if possible.

For calling look the post above mine. Camera is working but the app has its "time". By that i mean that sometimes it has low memory issues :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] satyamsit:
Flashed the latest ROM..

1. smooth.

2. battery not bad

3. audio glitch is thr while playing music.

4. no calling sound.

5. video lags again.

6. camera crash.

using latest build.. 11102012
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] h4r5h:
+1 for calls. Even I am unable to hear any sort of voice while making an outgoing call!

Anyways, I seem to have found a temporary workaround for that.

Those facing the similar bug, just try out the following workaround for the time being:

1. Just call up any number.

2. Once the call is connected, tap the "Add Call" button.

3. Now it would pop up the dialer app, simply call up any number once again (it could be the same number as 1st)

4. Once the 2nd call is connected, simply merge them and then end the call.

Hopefully, outgoing calls should be working fine after that. (Well it worked for me at least!)
