Well, what should I say... For the moment Mounts2SD got me. I'm deeply impressed. Bottom line the most professional and easy to use solution I've tried. I didn't have any hazzle with restore, yet, so I'm a bit nervous (but also excited) how that will do. I'm doing this stuff with my sweet ol' little Willy for a while now and all I could say is that Mounts2SD currently makes a big part of my most satisfying setup ever. I still can use that old bone on a regular basis and I don't miss to fiddle with complicated script setup or nebulous things under the hood of GUI solutions.

Hopefully my Willy's hardware will last for just a while - now that everything's near perfect :D

So, hat tip for your awesome work.

Besides that a few remarks on things I'd like to mention: It would be a good idea to put the link to the docs bold and/or in a signalling color as old bones like me (not lacking experience) might have problems to find it (the "Q&A thread" makes it even a bit more confusing).

Regarding the readahead values: that almost made me pulling my hair out - I have a 8GB class 10 (of course to help my Willy to speed things up) and read all that stuff about speeds and that it (logically) doesn't make sense to optimize on huge file sizes if an OS uses a partition of the card. So I started with 512kb (as suggestion of the script) and thought by myself that I'd better would have bought a 32/64GB class 4 for almost the same money :rolleyes:

But wait... when I tried Crossbreeder, the things went into another direction... All my tests I've done on the Willy with that class 10 card led to 2048 - sometimes a bit more. But Crossbreeder seems to show one finger and overrules everything else with a 4096 setting :D.

I have to fiddle a bit with that later (I'm sure you can change that setting manually) - but for the moment I have absolutely no complaints - everything works pretty stable, the UI is truly responsive and snappy - just wanted to let you know ;)

Hard to say if it would be even better with a lower readahead - as the improvements Crossbreeder does aren't just those values...

Again: awesome work - keep it up!

You move and dalvik-cache to SD???

I haven't got a luck with this....the device becomes so much irresponsible :(
[Android Apps and Games] eventcom:
Absolutely no problems here. I've also done that with S2E before. But I don't move /data to SD - perhaps that makes a difference? - no idea.

But it would be interesting to hear thoughts about that as I didn't find any warnings to do so with Mounts2SD but from other scripts/solutions (e.g. S2E)...
[Android Apps and Games] Noidy312:
I am also highly impressed with Mounts2SD and am using it with the latest cm11 build for Galaxy Ace S5830 by Mardon, and it seems to run perfectly, once you have played around with the scheduler settings. I'm sure having a fast SD card helps too. I am using 32GB Sandisk Ultra.

I haven't tried moving dalvik yet but did move /data and found that changing the read-ahead scheduler to sio more or less eliminated the small lags and mini crashes I was experiencing.
[Android Apps and Games] Noidy312:
My internal memory was filling up with dalvik and google play wouldn't let me download any larger apps so I finally moved my dalvik to sd.

After dalvik was recreated on sd (100 apps) I had almost all of my internal memory free so my problem was solved.

With regards to your experience,I cannot say that apps are opening so much slower that I am noticing a difference... everything is working perfectly.

I did find my device had quite a bit of lag when sd readahead was in cpq mode which was mounts2sd default so I put it in sio mode and that helped immeasuraly so try switching that.

Also if you have a slow sd card, a faster one will obviously help all round. I am using a class 10 card and relying on its speed rating so my device can achieve optimum performance.
[Android Apps and Games] TopperBG:
Also with respect to your experience, stimulated by your report, I've tried again for the N+1 time - not luck.

My SD is Samsung Class 10, tried many time diff schedulers, now again with SIO but .... even my phone is restarting in this config.

Maybe some local problem and I must reconcile with this.

Issues with S-On on CM11 S5830

First of all, thank you very much for developing this fantastic script and app!

However I have encountered some issues when trying to install it on [CM11] - modded - [experimental-20140123] by Mardon on my Galaxy Ace S5830.

The first issue is, that somehow Mounts2SD thinks my device is S-On protected. Therefore it tries to install the script with the fallback option, which fails to boot into recovery due to a "limited toolbox binary".

I tried to move the files the fallback option copies to /data/local to my SD-Card and install the fallback.zip manually, however that did not work.

Then I found the recovery.zip intended for use with rom-backups and installed the script that way with CWM 6.0.4.6.

Now the script itself is working, however I have enabled ZRAM in the settings and 10% minimum storage treshold which according to the (Overview) it not working correctly. I tried to run the a2sd_cleanup manually in terminal emulator.

Attached you find a logcat of trying to fix the sqlite3 binary, debut.txt and log.txt of your app.

I hope my bug report contains enough information to fix this app so that others may encounter less difficulties in setting it up. Thanks again for your efforts!

Kind Regards,

Tich

Endless reboot in S5570

Hi all,

I've been trying to run mounts2sd on my S5570. The phone just turns off when initializing the app and most of the times goes into an endless reboot until I get to uninstall it as quickly as possible while the phone is turning on again.

I've been searching the web for days and I can't find information about this issue, maybe the app is not compatible whit my phone, or rom or something... but I've been unable to find that info.

Any help appreciated!!!

The phone is a Galaxy mini GT S5570

I have a stock rom (Is this the problem?) with Gingerbread 2.3.6.

My kernel version is 2.6.35.7-perf-CL1160165

MicroSD Samsung 32GB class 6 partitioned: Fat32 (28 GB) EXT2 partition (1.8 GB) and Swap (256MB)

Mounts2sd installed via Play

Have root access working fine with Super SU (and successfully gives permissions to mouns2sd)

I installed Universal Init.d and Init.d support is on

I also installed Busybox v.1.18.2 (I think later versions don't fit my phone) with Busybox Installer.

Usb debugging is on and mock locations are allowed...

Don't know what else I can do!!!!

(I've tryed link2sd before and it worked fine, but it doesn't get enough internal memory free for me, as it still leaves many data still within the phone.)
[Android Apps and Games] bigsupersquid:
I was curious about whether you allow ROM builders to incorporate your app. Sync the github source and have it built as part of the system.

Not everyone likes to give permission for such things, so I wanted to see before experimenting.

My experience with Mounts2SD

The phone? Sensation 4G, 1.15GB of Internal storage, 64GB microSD with 2GB sd-ext partition formatted as EXT 2.

Running CM11 (KitKat) .

Currently installed about 170 apps. Including 5 Nav apps (Waze, Navigon, etc), several large games (Doctor Who, Simpson's Tapped out, etc)

Started with Link2SD, but after a while the internal storage began to disappear. So, switched to M2SD. Fewer problems on Kitkat than JB, but that's most likely due to the framework. Runs faster, fewer installation issues, etc.

As always, Mr. Murphy decided to swing by. First, M2SD told me that my phone is "S-ON". Yeah, right. Phone is rooted, S-Off (checked via fastboot), but, no dice. Tried the alternate method, failed again due to lack of busybox. Grabbed busybox free from GPlay, rebooted into recovery (Team Win recovery Project), mounted /data, installed /data/local/fallback.zip

Rebooted (very long), and, the phone is sluggish. Had to specify the driver for sd-ext. (M2SD defaults to ext 4). Checked off "apps" & "data", rebooted, and the phone is a slug. Slow as molasses. Also, encountered "fail filesystem check".

Removed SD card, wiped the partition, re-formatted sd-ext as EXT 2 using MiniTool Partition Wizard, and repeated the rinse cycle.

This time, instead of checking "data", I checked off "Dalvik-cache". Rebooted, and, perfecto!

The phone stats as follows. (Values in MB)

Internal 372 out of 1.15 (GB)

External 785 out of 1.97 (GB)

Applications 289.5

Libraries 60

Data 250

Dalvik cache 485.5

All the other values were left as default.

Everything works as it should. No lagginess, except for maybe "Tapped Out", but I doubt it's due to Mounts2SD.

So, install the app, check "Applications" and "Dalvik Cache", and enjoy! Just don't uninstall the script. Chances are, you'll have to re-install the ROM (ask me how I know!)

Mounts2SD vs. FolderMount

Hello,

is this stepp of the installation process facultative ore do I have to do it:

"Only if you are not updating your ROM and restoring the script using the recovery package

Install the application

Go to Application Settings and install the script

Reboot the device"

Does this app the same like FolderMount? So can I move the app data to external sd and free space on internal sd?

Thank you and kind regards,

Pingponguin
[Android Apps and Games] laserod:
have a problem with instalation of the script from the app.. have a Htc desire with s-off.. but the installation fails showing a messgae that the device is s-on so cant install..

Also tried with an older version of the app from the front page.. problem persists.

Make sure you have space on system. Or try to install with a clean ROM

How to use this application?

:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] bomchicano:
why i cant check the libraries box?? is there any solution so i can check it..
[Android Apps and Games] dk_zero-cool:
If that checkbox is disabled it is because you are using an older Android version that does not place libraries separate to application data. You need Android 4.2 or newer to use that option.
[Android Apps and Games] bomchicano:
oh ok mate,thx a lot

Storage Treshold on data

First of all, it is a great tool making the woners! Thanks for that, great job! :good:

I have looked at and tried many other ones but none is even close to it!

Just one concern - why the Storage Treshold to be left on data partition in order to be able to update/install the apps from the store is allowed to just maximum 10% of the phones internal memory size? For example, I would like to leave there at least 35 Mb allowing me to update/install most of applications, but the maximum of 10% option leaves me with maximum of 14.76 Mb (as related to the old HTC Desire 8181 in this case). Could it somehow be increased or changed?
[Android Apps and Games] dk_zero-cool:
It is set to 10% because that is the normal Android level. People always want to reduce this number, I have never had anyone who wanted it higher, as it would properly just create install issues, which is why this option is there in the first place.
[Android Apps and Games] aolins:
Of course, right! I have just misunderstood the meaning of the Trashold! I thought it is a space reported to Android as available on the data partition rather than changing the one required by Android itself to install apps.

So, then the question is a bit more confusing to me - why I cannot install some or update some apps after the data is moved to sd-ext? There is plenty of room on data!

Maybe you can shed a bit of light about this issue?

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] dk_zero-cool:
I can't. I myself and many others have investigated this issue for as long as sd-ext has existed, no cause has yet been found and different solutions work on different devices and Android versions.
[Android Apps and Games] kaliakman:
Ok. So I have an 8gb Class 10 SD....

I used Minitool to format it and then created a 2gb ext2 partition.Installed the script and tried to reboot...But to no avail... The Kernel and ROM logo were looping for about 7 mins.. Then I decided to manually remove the sd and this resulted in my phone booting up... The thing is.. Neither my phone nor my computer recognize the card anymore...Any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] dk_zero-cool:
Yes, get a new card. Your old one does not seam to be working properly anymore.
[Android Apps and Games] kaliakman:
Ok would you be kind enough to help me figure out what went wrong so it wont happen again?
[Android Apps and Games] dk_zero-cool:
I have no idea how. Maybe you formated it wrong, or most likely the card was to old. Things don't last forever, sdcards especially.
[Android Apps and Games] kaliakman:
Just to be clear.

I used Minitool. Firstly I formatted it completely to FAT32. Then I created a second partition ext2 (1.5GBs)..The really strange thing is that after the process the card would show in Storage(Only the big partition). I installed the script through preferences and rebooted.. You know rest of the story...
[Android Apps and Games] iPusak Gaoq™:
Hmmm....did you set both partitions as primary? Failing to set both as primary will result the SD will be un recognizable...

Not working on Photon Q

I have a Motorola Photon Q (Sprint). Rooted, Bootloader not unlocked, Running 4.0.4 Stock Rom. 32 Gb SD card partitioned in half. Both labeled Primary - 1/2 Fat32 the other EXT3. I have no errors, ran startup script, no problem. In the first screen shot you can see none of the radio buttons are highlighted and it is showing there is no external mounted (it is). In the second I have the boxes checked to move apps ect. Any suggestions as to what is causing this not to function? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] dk_zero-cool:
Nope, but if you provided a log I might have. There is a log viewer (Last Tab), what does it say?
[Android Apps and Games] srankempxq:
It says "The log file is empty". And when I do a debug or save log to sdcard I get the screenshot below. And then I can't locate that directory (I'm assuming b/c it's believes I dont have and external sd mounted?)

[Android Apps and Games] dk_zero-cool:
Just look in your sdcard, there should be a folder named Mounts2SD, but it will contain more than what it says in the viewer. Log Empty mostly happens when the script did not run at boot. Do you have init.d support in your kernel? A am guessing that you did install the startup script, because the app should notify you if you did not, and I don't see any on the screenshots. But you need init.d support, otherwise the script will not run during boot (And you did reboot?).
[Android Apps and Games] srankempxq:
I did reboot and ran the script. I am not sure about the init.d support. I am trying to use the recommended injector, but I think my issue lies in the fact that my bootloader is still locked, Motorola bypasses all attempts of recovery with no option to flash .zip I tried using Rom Manager and CWM. I was waiting for a stable version of CM10 before I unlocked the bootloader and voided the warranty, guess it's time. I'll let you know how that goes. Thanks for the help!

[MENTION=3147360]dk_zero-cool[/MENTION] is there other flashable script without aroma? the one on op is not working. always install aborted. :D
[Android Apps and Games] dk_zero-cool:
No that is the only one, and I don't think another will make any difference. What other errors is there? And at which time does it abort?
[Android Apps and Games] ErecDeGraal:
The "error" is after running the recovery script, when pressing "Exit". The recovery works fine, but the message is quite annoying. Mostly with the image of the broken android (the one fallen with the red triangle and an exclamation inside).

The message says:

But, as I said before, it works fine
[Android Apps and Games] dk_zero-cool:
That is not an error. That is just the way it is when existing Aroma because the recovery is not built to work with Aroma, so it does not know the status of the installation. Just ignorer that part, it has no meaning. All you have to worry about, is whatever messages you get within the Aroma installation, nothing else.

Hi [MENTION=3147360]dk_zero-cool[/MENTION],

I have a Xperia SP phone running Existenz Black ROM 1.0.5. The phone is rooted and the bootloader is locked.

I partitioned my SDCard with Minitool partition, and created a ext4 partition.

The kernel does not support init.d natively, so I used the init.d toggler to enable it.

The problems:

1) Script goes into safe mode since it finds a servicemanager.

2) There are errors found when I select the check file system. This error goes of if I go into recovery and "Fix Permissions", but after another reboot, the error is back again. I have to fix permissions after each reboot.

Could you please guide me on how to fix the problems?

Thanks

Ashish
[Android Apps and Games] dk_zero-cool:
You can disable safe-mode in setttings, which will enable an alternative work-around that does not minimize your options (but can be unstable on some ROM's, although I have never seen an issue yet).

About your file system check, not much to do other than figuring out why it get's broken. The script just invokes a file system check, it does not control the check or the outcome.
[Android Apps and Games] Publiuss:
Hi

Looks like this app has very intersting features...

Does it conflict How much does it conflict with link2sd?
[Android Apps and Games] dk_zero-cool:
They are not meant in any way to be installed at the same time. Both will try to overwrite each others changes and you will most likely end up in boot loops, crashing applications etc depending on each of their settings.

Looks yummy! :D

Support KK

Hello, there's a comment in Play Store that says "the app isn't compatible with KK", but I don't test it because (if I have some problems?) I want to be sure to use it without problems.

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] ErecDeGraal:
This app works perfectly with KK. Indeed it's one of the best for KK
[Android Apps and Games] dk_zero-cool:
12% of the M2SD users are running KitKat with no issues. I would not take one comment into account as 80% of issues are caused by the user themself, mostly because they don't read before installing. Also it is not the most clever people that writes error reports as comments in Play Store (which is quite clear by the messages written). The more intelligent people either writes in here or by email where I can actually create a dialog and help with the issues in question.

However, it is always a good idea to make a recovery backup before installing something like this.
[Android Apps and Games] viditbhargava:
True that...been using M2SD since 4.1 and now on 4.4, on Nexus One. No problems at all.

This is the best and most useful app of all, helping keep our old devices alive. :)

Thanks all to you [MENTION=3147360]dk_zero-cool[/MENTION]
[Android Apps and Games] pos_ei_don:
I also use it on KK and it is much less pain than link2sd, which I used before. This is the only app to go when you're running out of space on /data

I migrated from link2sd to m2sd using Titanium Backup ;).
[Android Apps and Games] chrisdlc119:
Okay, thanks for your fast responding, but now I have a question about the fallback recovery. In which location can I find the zip to install the script? I think this could be more specific, not?

[Android Apps and Games] Surpriser:
Thanks for this great app, im noobi to this script, so i have a question.

I have a 1.5 GB ext3 partition and installed this app and its script successfully and after reboot i used es file explorer and explored sd-ext partition and seen application was moved(or copy-ed) successfully. but my problem is they still remain in data partition (both sd-ext and data) and in setting it shows application space is 300mb and have free 50 mb. what is wrong?

Thanks

Edit: Sorry it worked like a charm !
[Android Apps and Games] enli:
I love the app and its the top one that gets installed every time I flash the phone.

But, I have huge complaint that it sets readahead, cpu governor, i/o scheduler, swappiness by itself. There is no way I that I could find which restricts mounts2sd from setting those parameters. I would greatly appreciate if you let the user decide if he wants those extra parameters or not. Consider the usecase:

1. I have recently started using swap partition and been playing with vm.swappiness with init.d script.

2. On reboot, I found that mounts2sd takes the burden of setting the swappiness on its shoulder and has only 3 possible settings of swappiness- 0 (recommended), 60 (linux default) and probably 100. As those values are set when app is started after startup, my swappiness value set by init.d script is overwritten everytime. I could use script manager but why should I install another app when I can use init.d scripts?

3. Also, app overwrites the governor and i/o scheduler set in my CM based rom under performance settings. I would like to manage these two under Performance section in ROM myself.

Could you please let the user decide wether he wants to set those extra parameters those are not directly related to mounts2sd operation? e.g. swappiness, governor, i/o scheduler, read ahead etc.?

Many thanks in advance.

I backuped all apps with TB which where linked with link2sd, then uninstalled them, then installed and configured mounts2sd and then restored the apps with data using Titanium Backup again. It was easy and took only some minutes. TB has a Menu to batch-restore all backuped but uninstalled apps.
