your that0 kernel for jb4.2 from this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=40522097&postcount=56

was running beautifully until i started messing around with PMR, got me into a bootloop so i went through what i said above.

removing the micro sdcard makes it boot fine
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Small correction: That's not a kernel, it's an add-on for the kernel that gets installed into the system partition.

You break it, you keep both parts. :)

The easy way out: Reformat your card's second partition with ext4 and start again.

The way of insight: You need to get familiar with fsck and mount to diagnose what went wrong.
[Asus Transformer TF700] georgecarstoiu:
Now that CM10.1 with the 4.2.1 kernel is out, can we expect a Data2SD counterpart? :) As fast as the new kernel might be, it's always good to have even a bit more power.
[Asus Transformer TF700] RedSkyRoad:
Am I correct in understanding that it is not only the apps that gets pushed to the microSD but also the old "sdcard"? So I should probably get at least a 32GB card?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Yes, Data2SD stores all your data on the microSD card, including the emulated internal "sdcard". I might make another mod that keeps the emulated sdcard on internal memory instead if there is interest.
[Asus Transformer TF700] RedSkyRoad:
Thanx for your reply :)

How do I go about to use it on Chromi-X 4.3? I just came back from the store with my 32GB Class 10 card...

Do we loose access to the old "scdard" contents once the microSD is used?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Read this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=40522097&postcount=56

Install CROMi-X with the -that2 kernel and then install this add-on. In the meantime, use your PC to partition the card using gparted as described in this thread.
[Asus Transformer TF700] georgecarstoiu:
Just to make this clear - when using Data2SD the entire operating system is moved to the SD card and the internal memory card is still accesible as storage?

It is a bit confusing and I don't want to experiment before I know all the facts :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
No, the OS is still on internal, just your download apps (/sdcard) are on the sdcard and yes you still can access your internal storage using file browser.
[Asus Transformer TF700] RedSkyRoad:
"with the _that2 kernel" - do you mean the _that2 kernel that I have to download separate or the Chromi-X ROM containing the -that2 kernel already?
[Asus Transformer TF700] georgecarstoiu:
Cache data is also stored on the external SD once Data2SD mod is runing right?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
They both the same. _that2 kernel is the same no matter where you download it.

I just realised after doing a full wipe that the Cromi-X ROM boots directly up after flash. Do I reboot to recovery to flash the add-on? Is this not too late then?

Ok, so I discovered the flashing cue and it seems to have worked. I have a /sdcard, /sdcardi, /data and a /datai...
[Asus Transformer TF700] georgecarstoiu:
Now that you did the 'nasty' thing, how does the tablet feel? Any noticeable improvements? What are the benchmarks telling you?
[Asus Transformer TF700] RedSkyRoad:
Well, as soon as I start using my apps, I'll get a feeling for the difference. I just wanna Uninstall the Play store and sideboard it as a user app... I don't use benchmark apps, BTW...

One thing I DO LIKE is the fact that all my music, pics and movies are separate on the old internal sdcard and all the app stuff that usually clutter the sdcard is now on the new microSD card
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
With data2sd, you only see improvement during multitasking (like downloading while doing something else or heavy write to disk applications). For normal usage, you don't see improvement.
[Asus Transformer TF700] RedSkyRoad:
LagFix that usually took like 10 minutes to complete was done in under 10 seconds :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
meaning your OS is so clean that you don't need to run Lagfix yet!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] RedSkyRoad:
No, meaning after setting up my OS and all my apps, lag fix STILL took 10 minutes to complete before I used the new card.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Oh, I see, sorry for mis-read your post! peace!
[Asus Transformer TF700] bjmarler:
That would be a very important piece of information to include in the original post for those of us considering trying out Data2Sd. I may have missed it, but I don't remember seeing that stated in the op.

Sorry if I missed it. Thanks for all your hard work in our behalf.

Any news on getting the latest CM kernel on the latest nightlies with Data2SD? Thinking of running down to the store for a micro SD card :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Vinsane:
OK I'm getting really frustrated trying to get this to work. I did a fresh install of Cromi-X with Data2SD kernel support - I've formatted my SD card made 2 partitions...1 FAT32 the other Ext4 and no matter what I do...I STILL cant get Data2SD working?

What am I doing wrong?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Boot to twrp flash mountdata2sd.zip, then install cromiX with _that data2sd kernel, once done You need to flash this patch http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=40522097&postcount=56
[Asus Transformer TF700] KinetiClutch:
Quick question is there any other program to use other than G parted to do the SD card formatting?

EDIT:

Nevermind, found the info about the Mini Tool Partition Wizard
[Asus Transformer TF700] uberbania:
Honestly, I tried a couple different ways and g parted was by far the easiest to follow, and the only way I got my card formatted properly...windows programs I've used didn't let me set a boot flag or have two primary partitions...I found it annoying to boot off a thumb drive, but it works great.
[Asus Transformer TF700] KinetiClutch:
Appriciate it thank you.

Wondered on a 16gig card what the optimal kind of split i should look for in terms of partition?

[Asus Transformer TF700] uberbania:
Depends how much storage you need. I found a SanDisk ultra 32gb on sale so I went for it. Works great for me. But I don't have music or movies stored on my tablet (yet)
[Asus Transformer TF700] KinetiClutch:
Thanks again!

Once I flash the patch over the kernel I'm using and then start Data2SDing

If I want to say install a new CROM or something and wanted to do a full wipe of all my data etc what would i need to do, because after doing this will the system percieve my storage as the SD and not the actual internal?

Also, If I wanted to full restore to a normal crom with out Data2SD would this simply be done via a nandroid in TWRP?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
The patch is included in the installer though........
[Asus Transformer TF700] uberbania:
I tried to select the option in aroma but data2sd didn't take. I reinstalled and after installing cromiX 4.4, I flashed _that's add on. That was the only way I got data2sd to take.

I tried this on both odex and deodex.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
The patch is addition to the ROM (which is used by the kernel), not flashed over the kernel.

The recovery always sees your internal /data until you run mount-data2sd.

To boot with internal /data, just remove your microSD card while booting. If you want to copy your data from the microSD card to the internal storage before, then keep your card inserted, in TWRP run mount-data2sd, make a backup, reboot TWRP, restore the backup. Then remove the card before you reboot Android. To disable Data2SD auto-detection, either repartition your card with only one partition, or delete the file /system/boot/preinit.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Vinsane:
I tried just as you said...flashed the mount zip...reflashed Cromi-x 4.4...then the patch zip one after the other in that order I even tried different combinations...just the mount zip and reflash of the the ROM...nothing. Still no go. Weird thing is every time I try to flash the Data2SD Patch zip I get thrown into a boot loop. Sometimes it starts up then shuts down to the bootup screen...but still nothing..cant get Data2SD going.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Must be something wrong with your sdcard. Did you use Gparted to create and format your card with 2 partitions? 1st partition is fat32 and second is ext4? If you did everything right then possible your card is not compatible with tf700, what model of the sdcard?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Vinsane:
Its a Transcend (sp?) 32GB card - I have a TF300 (but I was told this operation was the same). I used MiniTool Partition Wizard
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
That's your issue. You CAN NOT use MiniTool to format the card. You MUST use Gparted. Download gparted ISO file, then burn to CD, then boot up your PC using CD, you should be in Gparted, then use this to create and format your partitions.
[Asus Transformer TF700] guho:
Yes I can confirm this. It is not enough to select the _that data2sd kernet when clean-installing cromiX 4.4 even if the ext SD has 2 partitions with the 2nd ext4. You need this patch on top of cromiX 4.4
[Asus Transformer TF700] Vinsane:
OK just formatted with Gpart...so going to see...maybe its my card.

---------- Post added at 11:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 AM ----------

No dice. Guess its my card - oh well - I'll do it again once I get a better card. Guess its too slow? Class 6
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Don't guess - post a logcat of the bootup process, otherwise we will never know.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Vinsane:
How do I go about providing you a logcat of the bootup?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
On your PC: adb logcat > logcat.txt

Press Ctrl+C after some time, then post the resulting file.

If you don't have adb and the correct drivers installed, use the search function how to install that stuff.
[Asus Transformer TF700] aracy:
i'm confused,

after searching and reading, i finally installed successfully the d2sd on Cromi X 4.4

the only issue i'm having is when i connected to the computer.

why i can't see the 32gb original internal storage of my infinity? (on the tablet it works fine.)

is there anything i can do to see it on the computer as well?

Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
That's how data2sd works, you only can see fat32 and ext4 on your PC.
[Asus Transformer TF700] RedSkyRoad:
How much space on ext4 do i need for the system's /data requirements? Excluding the "sdcard" that is in /data/sdcardi...
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
This depends on the apps you want to install and the data you want to keep in /sdcard. Between 2 and 64 GB. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Most people would like a small amount of fat32 partition and a huge one for ext4, but I found that a 10gb ext4 will hold over 100 apps with plenty of space free. I would keep all my photos,backups, zips etc.. on my fat32 which is more important and required more space than ext4 and remember ext4 will be wipe from time to time as needed when you doing clean install of upgrade to another version of rom. So I suggest if you have around 200 apps, 10gb for ext4 is plenty (remember that the OS stills installed to the internal storage and ext4 is only for user download apps.
[Asus Transformer TF700] georgecarstoiu:
Any news of data2sd kernel for CM10.1. Works perfectly on Cromi, but CM has its own perks which makes it more appealing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ronniereiff:
So does backing up work the same on TWRP with data2sd?
[Asus Transformer TF700] RedSkyRoad:
This is exactly what my plan is. To have enough space on fat32 for music, photos, movies and JUST enough on ext4 for apps and app data...

---------- Post added at 09:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 PM ----------

If your /data is on microSD, then you need to mount with the mount zip before backup...
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
To estimate your current space usage, run this command in a root shell (via terminal emulator or adb):

du -s /data/app /data/data

It will output the currently used space in kB for installed apps and app data. Divide by 1000000 to get gigabytes and remember you need additional space for /data/media (which is the storage for /sdcard).
[Asus Transformer TF700] Slammin:
Anyone else getting an error when running mountdata2sd? I get an error regarding missing symlinks. I'm running cromi-x 4.4.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
With a freshly formatted ext4 partition that would be normal and can be ignored.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Slammin:
Thanks. I never noticed the error before I guess. I will check to see if is actually mounting.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lethang90b:
Can I use Gparted on Linux create fat32 and ext4? is it same when use Gparted live CD?
[Asus Transformer TF700] RedSkyRoad:
Is this like 600MB?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Slammin:
I dedicate 10g for fat32 to store backups and rom's. You'll probably regret that small partition at some point.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
You guys probably going to fill up the fat32 partition a lot faster than the ext4 partition. With near 200 apps on the ext4, I only used 700meg (not even 1gb) out of 10gig. My fat32 is currently used 11gb out of 19gb and I have a 32 gb sdcard and I haven't copy my photo albums to it yet!
[Asus Transformer TF700] RedSkyRoad:
I've made my ext4 4GB and after installing ALL my apps(90), I still have 2.77GB free on it. I use my internal sdcard for backups so the external /data/media on my ext4 is only used for app data which is minimal... I use the rest of my 32GB (fat32) for current music, movies and pictures that I want to stream fast and the internal sdcardi for archive storage. My device feels so great now. After having tried data2sd on Cromi-X 4.3, I tried it without on 4.4 and now with data2sd again and will tell the non-believers this data2sd makes a HUUUGE difference...
[Asus Transformer TF700] musicfreak:
I've flashed CleanROM 2.7.2 inheritance on my Infinity, with the Clemsyn 1.5 - 1.8ghz 650GPU kernel.

There are two Data2SD kernels that I think match: the 'CleanROM 3.2.2 - WORKS WITH CleanROM 3.3!' kernel or the 'clemsynTFUniversal650GPUver7 (Stock/CleanROM)' kernel? Do they both work? Which one is preferable?

[Asus Transformer TF700] usern ameisval idandnot:
I'm coming from Cromi 3.0.4 with Data2SD. I'm now at the step: Insert microSD into tablet and flash any data2sd kernel for your ROM. (Note: Flashing any ROM will overwrite your data2sd kernel. You will have to re-flash the data2sd kernel if you change ROM or even upgrade your current one)

What I understood from reading this thread is that there is a patch in Cromi X 4.4.1 that makes it unecessary to flash a data2sd kernel. Is that right? Is there a kernel in 4.4.1 already available?

So I only install Cromi X on my tablet and Data2SD is fully working???
[Asus Transformer TF700] RedSkyRoad:
You have to choose the -That2 kernel for Data2SD for it to work. no add-on needed anymore with 4.4.1

Flashing CleanROM Inheritance for my Asus infinity works, but I can't get Data2SD to work. When I do, I get the encryption unsuccessful on boot.

I have a 64Gb MB-MGCGB class 10 UHS-1x SD card from Samsung. This I what I did, flash all things together in one ClockworkMod recovery session as suggested:

1. Format card with Gparted. First partition 2Gb FAT32, second partition ext4 size is the rest of the card. Both primary partitions, set ext 4 partition as boot.

2. Boot into ClockworkMod recovery v6.0.3.1 (No TWRP, does that matter?)

3. Flash mountdata2sd zip

4. Flash CleanROM Inheritance 3.4.7 DEODEX, choose Clemsyn 1.5 - 1.8ghz 650GPU Kernel in setup

5. Flash data2sd clemsynTFUniversal650GPUver7 kernel

6. Boot up my device

If I flash CleanROM first, end then flash Data2SD I get the same encryption unsuccessful error.

Any suggestions?

Same card and rom and just flashed yesterday. I used twrp. First I flashed the rom. In the aroma installer, I selected the options of flash with cache wipe. Then the stock kernel as it was D2D compatible. Went through the rest of the install and rebooted with no errors. I did not flash any other kernel or D2D zip as it should work automatically if you did everything right. After boot I confirmed with es file explorer that I had sd cardi, sd card0 and sd card1.

BTW, you may want to reconsider your partitions. I used 50 gb for the fat32 and 8gb for the ex4. Read through the last 5-10 pages as people discussed the recommended size.

Job done! However I do have a few questions.Using es file explorer I see sd card 0 (ex4) @8 gb, sd card 1 @ 50 gb (fat 32). Sd cardi shows up as a folder and I can't see the available space. I have the 32gb Transformer with a Samsung 64gb sd card. Is this right? Is there a way to confirm sdcardi folder size? I may have made a mistake in not flagging ex4 as boot when I did the partition. I did set up both partitions as primary. Is this a problem?

[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
No, but if you see your files that you have on your internal storage in there, you know it works. :)

No. Setting the partition as boot is completely unnecessary.
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnnytraveler:
Nothing is showing up in the sd cardi folder and I can't move files or folders in there. Trying to move a folder, I get the message 'not enough space' and that there is zero space space.

Here's what I didn't do:

1) Grab the mount-data2sd.zip from the second post.

2) Boot into TWRP and flash the mount-data2sd.zip. This will mount the microSD as /data in recovery. It will allow us to wipe it, format, etc using recovery.

3) Wipe "Internal Storage". This will erase the entire ext4 partition on your microSD.

4) Flash ROM

5) Flash data2sd kernel for ROM

*CAUTION*: If you don't flash mount-data2sd.zip before your wipe, you will be wiping your internal memory.

I went to flash the same rom, (but different kernel) so I could change icon size and some options in aroma. I did not flash the D2D zip. Wiped cache and dalvik. Upon reboot lost a lot of apps so restored back to the previous version of the same rom (1 day old). Reinstalled rom with no luck, still can't do anything with sd cardi

[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I copied my /data using the "cp -a" command to the Data2SD partition and it worked fine, so backup/restore should also work.

Disabling fsync has nothing to do with Data2SD, it will work regardless which storage medium is behind.

Is it still possible to format the micro sd without a card reader? I cant afford one and back in the days I put it into my phone and did it via usb.

I totally forgot how I did this, if possible can someone point me in the direction? I need this for the CROMI 4.4.2.
[Asus Transformer TF700] musicfreak:
Good to know you have the same card. So it's not the card that's causing the problem.

This part I don't understand. You don't use any of the data2SD kernels mentioned on the first page of this thread? Do you in fact use data2sd then?

Edit: I see now, the stock kernel in aroma installation file of CR (Asus 10.4.4.25 Stock Kernel Credits _that v4) is the same as ASUS 10.4.4.25 Stock Kernel v4 + UV + fsync + ISO9660 + CIFS + ROW Scheduler +data2sd auto detection by _that in the OP of CR inheritance.

Good point, I have now a SD card with the same sizes as you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] usern ameisval idandnot:
I dont get this anymore. I have a 16GB Card and I can see one small partition and a 56GB partition on my pc. When I get the new cromi running with d2sd then I should be able to see my internal and the leftover card memory, right?

Dropbox should use that memory too, right? If you have 8GB like me and decide to keep everything update you need 10GB?

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.
