TRY THIS VERSION. IT IS SO EASY. It eliminates the confusion of internal sd being 'where?' Using Es file explorer, here's what you get: a) 2 sd card symbols for '0' and 'microSD'; with '0' for your ex4 on the external card. b) For your internal, you will find it under 'device/mnt.' I renamed the folder Internal SD, cause I'm a simpleton. I also put copy of the folder on my home page by long press-selecting the folder, then once the folder icon is' checked' I select the 'more' tab and lastly 'copy to home page.' Do check that the folder has proper permissions, that way you can do with it as your wish.

THANKS _THAT. Didn't you start a new thread for this version? I swore I downloaded the file from a different thread dedicated to this new version of D2D.

Yes pulling the exsd should result in a failed boot.

In es use sd card analysis tool. It will show you the 2 drives that it sees. This should match how you partitioned your external sd. For me, I formatted my exsd 50gb fat and 8gb ex4. That is what shows up on es. If this works, you know your exsd is good to go.

As for internal, find sdcardi under mnt, '/device' or other means. Remember, it will show up as a folder and not as a drive. You may need to change the permission of the folder allow you to see its contents. In es tools tab, use 'root explorer' to give yourself permission to change files. Then highlight the sdcardi folder by long press-selecting. Once checked, select 'more' from the bottom choices. Next pick 'properties' than 'change'. Check off the various choices you want. I checked off those so as to match my exsd. Now you should have full access to the files on your internal.

So with Cromi 4.4.1 it is not possible to get access to the internal storage? I need my 64GB, otherwise d2sd would not be sooo helpful.[/QUOTE]

I switched to Hairy Bean. It plays nice with D2D and is a lot like Cromi

Lots of talk about CROMI but what about CM 10.1. They are coming really close to a stable version. Is there any news of Data2SD support for it?

Maybe the devs will do one after the stable release. No point in chasing after nighties, too much effort will be wasted chasing moving target.

[Asus Transformer TF700] johnnytraveler:
So to make sure I'm doing it right, when switching ROMs (not a newer version of your existing rom) first flash data2sd which will mount the ex4 portion of the exsd. Then wipe cache, dalvik and system. Then flash new rom with either built in support for D2D or a kernel that supports D2D. Reboot and if you want easier access to internal sd than flash the zip mentioned in post #1773.

Is this right? Do you guys also wipe data on the ex4?

[Asus Transformer TF700] slaman:
I wipe data prior to flashing the mount-data2sd, then wipe data immediately after flashing it (thereby wiping both the internal SD and the ext4 partition on the microsd)

... but don't take advice for me because once I got data2sd working, my tablet would freeze randomly every 15-20 minutes...

So Titanium Backup has an amazing new option to backup all your user apps and data into a flashable update.zip

I'm assuming for us Data2SD guys, we have to flash the modified recovery console to have this work for us?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sandmann241:
one question for my unstanding.

what happens to the /data partition on internal storage or rather to the memory on internal storage, that was used for /data partition, is it then unused?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
I'm using Titnium backup,but I prefer the restore from mybackup. It gave you the option to backup:

1. Data -(you can pick all or any which one you like to restore) call logs, sms,mms, calender, contacts, system settings etc..

2. Application - show you a list of all the applications, you can select all then take out the one you don't want, or you could pick what you want one by one

3. Photo - same concept as above

and more....

The restore speed is slower than Titanium though. I have both, I use mybackup to do full restore (quicker and easier), and use titanium for minor restore.

What is your graphics scores for Quandrant?
[Asus Transformer TF700] CeeJayII:
2D score is 167, 3D score is 2291 in quandrant. Using clemsyn kernal 2.2 as well. Used to be higher before data2sd, perhaps a problem with data2sd modded clemsyn kernal?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
My data2sd 2d score is 500+ and 2300+ for 3D. So I don't think data2sd is the cause. We need to verify data2sd is installed correctly. Can you run androbench to see what is the random write score is? Another way to verify if data2sd actually using the sd card is if you eject the sdcard, your os would freeze/reboot. I'm using the 22 clemsyn kernel so it's fine. When you installed (assumed that you already on cleanrom), you need to flash the cleanrom_data2sd, then you also need to flash clemsyn_data2sd kernel, is this how you installed?
[Asus Transformer TF700] CeeJayII:
Random Read is .26 MB/s in androbench. I installed by going into cwm, flashing mountdata2sd, wiped data and formatted system, flashed clean rom 2.3 then flashed cleanrom 2.3-data2sd, reboot, titanium restore, the boot to cwm and flash clensyn2.2data2sd kernal from this thread. I am using a 64Gb sandisk class 10 card with 59GBs in the ext4 partition. Does the size of ext4 partition matter?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Size doesn't as long as the ext4 is the second partition. Is it a typo, I'm looking for random WRITE. If it's it's too low, it should be .4-.6 MB/s Here how I did mine:

1. Boot into cwm/twrp and install CleanRom from your regular SDcard or from internal memory depend on where you keep your zip file

2. Let the device boot into the setup screen. Don't do any setup. Boot it back into cwm/twrp

3. Flash this"CleanROM 2.3" This will put mod files on the data2sd mod files to your stock Cleanrom and Cleanrom kernel.

4. Turn off your device, insert your new SDcard (dual partions), boot up your device.

Option: if you want to use Clemsyn kernel.

5. Boot back into cwm/twrp, then flash this clemsynTFUniversal650GPUver7 OR clemsynTF700ver22GPU650VC, depend on what version you want. Bott up and you're done.

Run androbench 3 times and your RANDOM WRITE should be about .4 Mb/s or higher. If it is your 2D and 3D should be back to normal.

[Asus Transformer TF700] das0527:
Ok, I admit it. I'm very confused. I've read through the entire thread and tried to keep up with all the changes and different instructions. Here's what I did:

1. I started with CleanROM 2.3 & no changes to the kernel other than what's built into CleanROM.

2. I partitioned my 64GB SanDisk MicroSD according to the OP. Partition 1 is unformatted and Primary. Partition 2 is formatted Ext4 and Primary.

3. I saved the .zip to my internal SD

4. I rebooted to TWRP

5. I did a full reset

6. I installed the .zip

7. I rebooted

Now:

I only see the external SD when the tablet is connected to my computer.

TiBu shows the External as my internal. Ditto for the SanDisk storage app.

Root Explorer shows the sdcardi directory as being my internal memory but the apps above don't shows that directory at all.

Is this normal?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Seems right to me!
[Asus Transformer TF700] cctaylor410:
If I remember correctly you do not want to do a factory reset after the rom is flashed because it may mess with some of the tweaks built into cleanrom. Instead do a factory reset then flash the rom and this mod.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jeebley:
I revived the big card. I think I had a bad card reader. I tried to use gparted but it bricked my laptop. Will not boot into windows. What's weird is I read the instructions for using it on Windows like 5 times to avoid it. The problem I'm running into now is after I flash this mod over cleanrom I get the infinite reboot. Could use some help troubleshooting this one.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
So you sucessfully created 2 partions? the first partion is fat32 or unformat and the second partition is ext4 set to primary and boot?

If the above is true, please show how you config/setup your device to use the card. The more details the more I can find the issue faster.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jeebley:
Is primary and boot the same as primary and active?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Yes, if you use gparted, it would say primary and boot, if you used other program it may said primary and active, but both the same. Another thing is if you used mini-tools, this is a crappy tool, it will ruin your card and even it said everything is good but infact it's not. The ONLY reliable way I found is to use gparted. Basically you download the gparted ISO image and use image burn (imgburn) to burn it to a CD, then shutdown your computer and boot up using this CD, (you need to setup your pc to boot from cd instead of Harddrive. Once you boot into gparted, there will be a gui interface and you can use it to config/create/format your card. The ext4 must be the second partition, the first partition should be fat32, I highly recommend that you should give at least 1gig to the fat32 partition, it's going to be very useful later on.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jeebley:
Good to know. I followed the directions on the gparted sight and my laptop is no longer bootable. Problem for another day. New issue arrised. Can no longer mount sd card AND for whatever reason my internal sd card memory is wiped. 2 bricks in one day. It's going to be a long weekend.
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnnytraveler:
Yep, all good. I switched from Hairy Bean 2.1 to Clean ROM Inheritance 3.4.7. Did it as how I understand it and I'm good. I didn't wipe before I flashed mount-data2sd, cause as I understand it, that would wipe my internal sd memory. It was after flashing the aforementioned zip that I could wipe the ex4 on my exsd for a clean install.

BTW, both roms work with D2D. I guess Hairy Bean 2.2 was just released, but haven't flashed it yet.

UPDATE: Flashed CHROMi Xenogenesis 4.5 and it works with D2D. CHROMi Inheritance is 4.1 JellyBean architecture, while Xenogenesis is based upon 4.2. I'm gonna check out these 3 before I flash any other roms. Of course I really want to run CM when it starts working with D2D.

If I "Format" my ext4 with GParted, why is there 200MB used? How can I check if the sdcard is OK?
[Asus Transformer TF700] CiaronDarcOne:
Pretty sure it's mapping/indexing space set aside. From a quick read on the internet ext4 divides data into blocks and keeps a map of it so it can be located and put together. So I assume it would need to reserve space for this. It happened when I made an extension as well. That's about as technical as I get...
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnnytraveler:
THOSE HAVING PROBLEMS PLEASE READ:

Did you use GParted to format your exsd? No other partitioning program will work!

Are your partitions first fat32 than ext4?

Are you using a D2SD compatible rom or kernel? I've only used those roms that had built in support for D2SD, ie. in the installer you could select a D2SD kernel.

Did you do a nandroid backup before you start flashing?

In your initial install, did you first flash the D2SD zip using TWRP? This is very important as it will mount your ext4 partition, where all the action takes place. Did you verify in TWRP that the ext4 partition was mounted (do this by making sure that the ext4 size matches what TWRP says is the internal sd size; just go to 'install' in TWRP and toggle between external and internal and you'll see the sizes)? Did you do a factory wipe of the ext4 (yes, I know you just formatted it)?

After mounting and wiping the ext4, flash your D2SD compatible rom or kernel. Reboot and it might make things easier if you flash the zip that is mentioned in post #1774 (after you have fully rebooted). Actually, you really should flash this zip, as it will make finding and using your internals sd easier.

After you are done flashing, go to 'storage' in settings. There, you should see the 2 drives to match what is on your exsd. More importantly, you will want access to your internal sd. Go to es file explorer, give yourself permission (to modify read/write) in 'tools/root explorer.' Find the datai folder (look in local/device) where all your internal stuff should still be. You may have to modify the folder's r/w status by long clicking the datai folder and selecting properties. There you can change r/w status. I matched the folder's r/w status to my exsd r/w status.

REMEMBER, if you don't flash D2SD, you will be wiping your internal sd when you wipe:eek:, and you won't be mounting the necessary files in the ext4 of your exsd:thumbdown:.

Micro sd card makes and sizes are personal preferences. You do want a fast card. Ideal is class 10. Also compare read/write speeds between cards as they do vary, even when they are the same class. Read through the last 5-10 pages of this thread to find recommendations on partition sizes.

Roms is also a personal choice. I can say so far that Hairy Bean 2.1 (have not tested 2.2), Cleanrom Inheritance 3.4.7 (Jellybean 4.1 architecture) and Cromi Xenogenesis 4.5 (Jellybean 4.2 architecture) all work with D2SD. As of this writitng I've only have had my Transformer 3 weeks, so I may flash other roms at a later time to see if they work with D2SD.

Note: Those with more knowledge and experience, please correct any and all faults that I may have made. Those who follow this guide and fail, do not blame _that or Mistar Muffin or the scripts as they do work. That blame lies solely at my door.

Still a bit confused

I used gparted and configured my 64 GB Class 10 SanDisk MicroSD card the following -

Partition 1 19.5 BG Fat32 and 39.3 GB .ext4.

I now have SDcard showing 27.1 GB Total storage (Same as my original internal) and my SDcard 2 showing 19.5 GB and File System Root showing 39.3 GB. These are in TotalCommander file manager.

When I look in settings > storage it shows 39.3 as the first listed storage (I believe this is now the internal storage) and the 19.5 as the SD external storage. I THINK this what it is supposed to be.

What I am NOT understanding is what if anything is done with the original 27.1 GB of internal storage? Is it just never used anymore?

I think I have figured out when you install an app now it is saved into the File System Root 39.3 section along with anything that is downloaded/installed from the internet.

Where is the file saved that I would copy from my computer to the internal folder that shows up on my computer when I connect my TF700 via USB?

Thanks for any help!
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Everything you mentioned sounds correct, your PC only can see the fat32 partition of your sdcard. To copy file between your ext. sdcard and the internal, you need to use file browser app like ES file explorer, root explorer etc..You can't copy file directly from computer to the internal.
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnnytraveler:
Yes you did everything right. Using Total commander you'll see your internal as Sdcard. The pathway is: /storage/emulated/0. If you want to transfer files from computer to tablet internal memory, try this path (I have not tested this, but this is what I get). It should be noted that I also flashed D2SD-internal, so if you don't get the same pathway, this may be why. See if you can move files between ext to internal, that makes your internal useable.
