Apps to SD on Magic build

Hey LucidREM or anybody else that may know.. if i am using the magic build by Hykuro and i wanted to xfer my applications to the sd again.. How would i go about doing that.. I do have root and the 2 partitions... Is there a .sh i should transfer or some code that i should run in terminal?? I have been looking all over if anybody would know it would be great to share.. thank you in advance..
[G1 Android Development] dbo87:
Hey Lucid, I did this set up several days ago, and wasn't having any issues with any off the apps, by the way great job, but now I am getting an error message saying " The application Chomp SMS process com.p1.chompsms) has stopped unexpectedly please try again." and it is doing the same thing for the MyFaves app, any ideas why this is happening???
[G1 Android Development] dbo87:
I actually everything crashed, I couldn't even make a phone call.
[G1 Android Development] webgrafix:
I ran into this and I had to start from total scratch!

I tried just doing a "wipe" and a restore "Alt-S". But when I ran the "copy.sh apps" in terminal.... it would "see" the apps on the SD card that were previously there. And there was something there (I think it was aHome) that corrupted everything and I would get into a loop on boot.

What i finally did was to repartition the whole SD card to get rid of the Ext2 that had these apps.

Started from scratch and have been running solid ever since. Using a 8GB Class 6 card, with 1GB for Ext2.

I DID NOT REINSTALL aHome!!! I am on Open Home and it is working great.

I did take small baby steps... after I redid everything I would reboot the phone after I installed every new app just to make sure everything was. good.

Hope this might help you!!! Good luck!

I just switched from adp 1.1 image to rc9.

Unfortunately I forget to use the "modded" lucidrem version and took the original rc9 from JF. I ended up at the flashing android. So I did a wipe. I did not start the registration process until now.

Question: Is there a chance to get my data and apps back which already are on the ext2? As far as I understand, the copy.sh scripts create some links and then move the data to the new locations. So if I now reflash the modded version and start the copy script, won't I overwrite my existing data on the ext2?

Question 2: Which apps are actually moved to the sd? Only the apps I download and install or basically everything, even the pre-installed system apps? If the latter, how could I ever switch to a new release without deleting everything on the sd?
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
are you in the US? - if so you not supposed to use the rc9...

and to the 2 questions about moving the data and apps back - read the first post, theres an undo script.

only apps that are not included with the rom are moved.
[G1 Android Development] bassbox:
well well, thank you
[G1 Android Development] xdavidn88:
Same thing.

Stuck in loop.

Wiped both partitions.

Now I'm fine. (btw I have aHome and Open Home installed)
[G1 Android Development] dbo87:
HEY thanks webgrafix, everything is working fine right now, it was just strange that it crashed all of a sudden, do you or anyone happen to know why the wifi tethering for root didn't work for me while running apps on sd, also why that app isn't even in the market anymore, i'm trying to reinstall it
[G1 Android Development] webgrafix:
Weird?? I have the tethering app on my sd card working fine.

They (Google) pulled the tethering apps from the market...

http://androidcommunity.com/android-tethering-apps-pulled-from-market-20090331/

But whats funny is that I just looked and there was an UPDATE in my market for the app v0.9.6!!! With better support for SD Card mods!

I am glad you got it fixed!
[G1 Android Development] jessetbenton:
So I have worked long and hard to be able to have my apps on my sd card. I bought myself an 8gb class 6, even downloaded ubuntu so i could partition it (my mac was messing up the partition). I don't specifically know which program it was that started it, or if it is just something that happens, but I am losing the 'simlinks'? is that what they are called? So I install a program and then it disappears. When I go to the market it says that I have it installed already, but it doesnt appear on my phone. I've also had problems reinstalling the apps, they say they download successfully from the market, but then it hangs on the install. atrackdog for example is one that I am unable to install at the moment. my phone also hangs when computing the application list from the settings menu.

Did I do something to trigger this? Is it a stability thing or what's goin on?
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
hopefully i am not assuming too much:

1) you left your phone off during the transfer

2) you did not mount the card thru the phone

3) you took steps to copy the entire partition to the new card

if you have truly lost your links you can put them back .. but just verify there's no problem connecting to the files on the card

NOTE: did you remember to keep the EXT2 partition size under 2G?
[G1 Android Development] jessetbenton:
well i dont think i did any of these three things. when you say transfer, i assume you only mean interfering the copying of the apps from the phone to the sd card. i made sure to follow the initial instructions to the letter, and it worked great for a while. but it seemed to freak out when i added more apps. would downloading and installing multiple apps(simultaneously) from the market cause any problems?

i have been very careful not to mount my card while it is in my phone. i have mounted it but after powering down my phone and using a usb adapter.

and im not sure what you mean by the third one. i partitioned the new card i got to around 630mb. felt like i didnt need anymore than bout 10x what i had stock. after my phone started having problems i did copy the whole ext2 partition to make a backup on my computer. but when i first was setting it up, i was coming from a newly wiped phone, with only a few apps downloaded from the market(<10). i didnt try to copy any previous attempts at an ext2 partition to the new card.

i have found that using appmanager i can reinstall the programs that freak out from my backups. but i still have some issues with the market app. i was thinking that if i reapplied your modded version of jf 1.42 it would fix those stock app problems?
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
ok .. maybe i misunderstood the first time i read that .. did you copy your apps from the old SDcard to the new SDcard?

if you copy the EXT2 partition to the computer .. how did you do that? if you have a windows machine then those apps may no longer be usable .. there are linux permissions which are not retained when dealing with windows (FAT) systems
[G1 Android Development] jessetbenton:
sorry im not being more specific. i feel like with every post i am giving you more information. so i did not copy my apps to the ext2 partition of the old card, but i did have the apps backed up with another program, like astro or appmanager. the first time i used the freshly partitioned 8gb class 6 card i downloaded most of the apps from the market. i only installed the ones from my card that were no longer available in the marketplace, such as my tetherbot.

i copied the ext2 partition within ubuntu, not windows or mac os x. but i was having issues before i did that.

hope that helps.

here is a bit more of info. i noticed today that some apps, like my dxtop which was running at the time, was not in the application dock. this really puzzled me, because i thought that all the installed apps were seen there. so basically the app was installed, but i couldnt uninstall it with the phones os. i am however able to see that it is installed when i look with 'appmanager'. i just thought that was weird.

i tried wiping my phone, it hasnt helped. this morning i also reflashed your modded version of 1.42.

Hi my name is Mike sorry if I am on the wrong place to ask but this question is for LucidRem, I rooted my G1 and did all the steps to move apps, cache and Data using adb and executing command line ( app2sd1.bat , app2sd2.bat , cache2ext2.bat , data2ext2.bat ) but the last thing is did was moved all Data to Sd Card and when I check my email (Gmail) is very slow and it wants to force close...now is there a way that you can make a .bat file to put all data back to internal memory, ohh one more thing how can I copy or backup everything on a bigger Micro sd card I have a 2GB and I want to upgrade to a 4GB and what type of Sd card I should buy.. thank you

So I just recently moved data back to my phone, after about a month with no issues. It was causing some weird issues. But I still have com.android.providers.im & com.tmobile.myfaves in the data folder of the ext2 partition. I don't know how to move those back over. The copy.sh undodata didn't do the job. Do I need to reformat the ext2 partition & start over?

I NEED HELP!!

My G1 cycles at the Android logo screen (boot up)

I did the following

1. Partition my sd to 1.2gb named it Ext2

2. Used the update

3. Ran the following scripts using (Tenet would not log on, so i used Terminal)

$su

#copy.sh app

#copy.sh data

After doing this my apps where no longer on my phone when I tried to run an app it said apps not installed. Tried to install from maket but it said not enough space to install...

Turned off and on phone and now it cycles on the Android logo screen!!!

PLEASE HELP!!!... DOnt want to use my G1 as a paper weight!!

problems with wifi for root users app

after installing it it says that my phone is in an unknown status please reboot.

I guess the wifi for root users app doesnt have enough permssions to run from sdcard because symlincking doesent preserve the ownership of the files.
[G1 Android Development] KPeriod:
Wow so I got annoyed at not being able to find out where my caches were after moving data to sd card so I ran the undodata script and i lost all my phone settings/contacts/messages etc.

I totally hate myself for not backing up before that but damn that sucks, I'm actually seriously screwed now with work/life. Again totally my fault, just venting.

The more I look into it the weirder everything seems, I lost all my contacts and messages, like half of my phone settings and app settings were reset (background, sms notifications, autostarts etc.) and the other half is seemingly intact (i.e. my missedCall settings). And of course to add further insult to injury, my market cache is still there (searched form history and downloads).

Damn, I need some beers.
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
Lucid please say your working on a modified cupcake build - 4.5 or 4.9...
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
1. do you have root ?

2. if yes, and you entered the scripts it should work, type reboot in terminal, and just let the g1 take its time to boot up ( make sure the phone is not connected to the pc. ) it may take a about 2 min for the first boot cause its connecting your apps to your g1 from your sdcard.

3. make sure that the partitioning is done correctly..
[G1 Android Development] Lakers3408:
Thanks for the reply

1. yes my phone is rooted

2. I entered them just as they are posted

3. I think I di it right, my 8gb card is now only 6.2gb, was i to give it a letter (I) or something?

I did get my phone working again, heres what I did:

I took battery out and back in, held Home and Power.

Then did a Alt + W (whipe) Phone now boots as normal.

So I did the steps AGAIN and DAM!! Same Sh!T happend AGAIN :mad:

This time I took the time to read what was showing in Terminal:

$ su

# copy.sh app

[: =: argument expected

cp: cannot create directory '/system/sd/app': Read-only file system

MOVE /data/app DONE

cp: cannot create directory '/system/sd/app-private': Read-only file system

MOVE /data/app-private DONE

#

After I would get this all my apps where gone from my phone and if I tried to install from market it would say something like not enough space to install.

Then if I did a reboot and it would cycle on the Abdroid logo over and over.

What am I doing wrong?
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
did you verify that the ext2 partition is there ?? - try using ubuntu to see it...

what program did you use to make the partition?

and if you have your apps backed up with astro to the sdcard, just do a wipe, and then redo the script su copy.sh app only... and then type reboot... the phone is gonna take about 2 minutes to complete the reboot - it will sit on the android logo for the whole time - its no a bootloop, its moving the apps and changing the setting in the startup...
[G1 Android Development] dead2hill:
i could be completely wrong, but first a question, after u wiped did u reroot the phone? i have to reroot after a wipe...if i dnt have to then i run into probs if i dont...so idk.. but did u?
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
nah i didnt have to reroot the phone, once you have it you have it until you go back to a non rooted rom or a tmobile update.
[G1 Android Development] dead2hill:
well, that's good to know..srry, yes still nooby.. but hey. i know one wipe i lost the hardspl for some reason, but that's the least of my worries.. maybe you can answer, ive looked through the thread, im sure ive overlooked the answer,

one, is there a thread for cache to sd? or possibly give me a brief how-to?

with apps and data on sd with ext2@1.3gb 8gbclass6 sandisk~ i am having issues with market not downloading.. but if i use the ever so useful undodata(TY lucid!) then i can download again.. also with data on sd my aim doesnt function properly... wont log in...

also, the game doom add's wad files to the fatsd how would i either take just one app out of data on sd or how would i put the wad files to the et2 so doom can use them?
[G1 Android Development] webgrafix:
Try this... I had similar issues and this worked for me....

(I do this steps in the card slot of my PC. Not via USB)

-If on Windows... use Partition Magic and reformat your whole SD card. I removed all partitions.

-Then of course reformat... Fat32 first... then I do the Ext2 partition.

-Copy the "update.zip" over to your SD Card.

Replace the SD card back into your phone... Power on with Home Button held in.

Do your Alt-W, followed by the Alt-S.

Now Home and Power to reboot.

Phone should reboot.

Make sure everything is good.

I usually do a reboot just to make sure everything is OK before applying any new changes.

If it reboots ok... go into your terminal and run "copy.sh app" to move the apps over to the SD card. Reboot and make sure everything is OK.

No you need to decide if you want to move over the Cache.

See if this works for you. Hope it helps.

WIFI Tether when copying data directory

I have a rooted phone with apps on SD card. I noticed that when you copy the Data folder to the SD card it breaks the WIFI tether. The problem exists with the paid WIFI app and the free one. As soon as I copied back the data folder all is well. It's not that big a deal but was wondering why this would cause the WIFI to break.

With apps and data copied to the SD card I have about 67 megs free on phone. If I copy the data folder back to the phone the difference in free space is about - 12 megs so I am at 55 megs free.

Does anyone know of a workaround for the WIFI problem?

Ok I've installed and managed to get everything up and running/copied over to the SD Card etc but im just wondering, im still trapped with the 2GiB SD that my baby came with and im thinking of going the distance and getting an 8Gib Card,

so basically is it possible to copy everything off the old card and plonk it on a new card?

If it boils down to it i have XP|Vista|and Linux that i can play with so creating the partitions on a new card and such is easy, its just will copying it to the new card & work ok??? or is it a matter of copying it back over to the Phone and then copying it onto the new card? i dont mind and is there a script to copy to and frow :lol:

[G1 Android Development] xShadoWxDrifTx:
Lucrid! You should add this to your front page, with all those having problems partitioning to EXT2, you can use Ubuntu through windows.

Without live cd or anything, even easier by just using Ubuntu portable

Maybe this could be given a look and help alot of people partitioning, when linux is probably the best and safest way of doing it.

[G1 Android Development] Lakers3408:
I HAD the same problem, and it is caused by NOT partitioning your card right.

It took me 2 days and help from a couple of guys here to fix it.

PROBLEM:

It appears to have worked after you run the script and reboot, but the problem starts when you re-boot and the g1 is trying to access the Ext2 which was NOT greated right, and that is why you get a constant loop.

Stupid ME partitioned BOTH partitons as Fat32 and the one i was going to use for apps i "named" it Ext2 (yes i know, what adumb ass). That was my problem. The card has to partioned with a Fat32 AND a Linux ext2. NOT the same for both.

SOLUTION:

I used Ubutu, deleted prior partions and FIRST did the ext2 and then did the Fat32. Did a whipe (alt+w), then update (alt+s). YOU MUST have the update in the Fat32 partition IF you do a whipe with ext2 partitoned!!!

RESULT:

everything is up and running!! Have over 60 apps on my card and counting :D

Hope this helps
