device wont boot after installing S2E

hey there,

after installing MildWild 5.0 and then s2e

i marked the "Application" & "mount as ext4" options on s2e

and asked to restart the device.

after restarting the phone get stuck on the first screen (white background with htc green logo).

i tried to reflash the rom and app but it keeps on happening.

can anyone help me with that?

tnx...
[Android Apps and Games] DualJoe:
The ext4 filesystem is always 'dirty' here when mounted. I pinpointed it down to the mount command. And that's kinda weird and doesn't make much sense to me. This might be a sideeffect of experimental ext4 implementation.

Test it yourself in Android:

Proof in CWM:

Can anyone explain/confirm that?

Hi. I was wondering what if I update my ROM to a newer nightly! The script won't be there and hence there should be something wrong!! But I did it. Flashed ROM(only system, not data) and even after that I saw sd-ext was getting mounted and though S2E was not installed all my SD-ext apps were functioning properly! HOW???!!!
[Android Apps and Games] DualJoe:
App2sd is on many roms that mounts vanilla ext3 (but not the mount overlays without the S2E script). Secondly, S2E script is in /data and remains active until deleted.
[Android Apps and Games] pranks1989:
Ha true... Though I installed it as a system app, I updated it and hence a copy was there in /data and thus I was saved! But anyways supercharging seems to undo S2E somehow! So lost all apps! And again restored using TB backup.. Will have to request the devs to check this issue!!

---------- Post added at 12:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 PM ----------

Hi dev.. First of all Thanks a lot for this so helpful app! However recently I saw something surprising! While using v6 supercharger(U9RC10) I baked it into the ROM in init.d . Now after rebooting I see all my apps are back in the internal memory! I guess this is because of some way may be how v6 supercharger changes things in booting! Another thing I noticed is that it happens mostly when I do superclean(dalvik wipe) and reboot.. Is there a connection between dalvik wipe and this error?!

Another request:

Is there a way we can run this in the form of script(like CWM maybe) before Android actually boots up?! That way even if we flash the ROM we can mount the SD-ext right before android boots up and thus all the data stored in /sd-ext is good to be used!!
[Android Apps and Games] Boris.Shulman:
Does this work on S-ON phones?
[Android Apps and Games] Oops...:
Yes. Script is written to and executed from /data partition, no need to write to /system.

Can I do ext4 partition on my Wildfire?

Or should I better stay with ext3?
[Android Apps and Games] Deliamber:
Having a strange issue. The option to move application data to ext is grayed out, and the total size isn't reported.

It looks like newer versions of S2E don't have the toggle for "advanced options" in Settings anymore, so I'm not sure what's going on.

I've tried uninstalling S2E and reinstalling, but the issue remains.

Why this app may damage a device? Any specific reasons? Will it damage any hardware after long use?
[Android Apps and Games] Oops...:
The SD-Card might be damaged due to heavy erase / write cycles after long usage. I personally use S2E (for apps only) for a long time now - still first card with no issues. However, the situation might be different, if data/data is also linked to the sd-ext, as there is much more write access to the device.

When I installed it and rebooted, it gave multiple app force close after the reboot and hence i had to reflash the rom. Any idea what went wrong? And can someone please tell me how to configure the settings safely so as to avoid this again?

[Android Apps and Games] Zippy1970:
S2E p------ me off.

I've been trying to get S2E to work for two days now. I'm running (a newly flashed) AmericanAndroid and I am trying to get it to store apps on the SD card.

First thing I did was create an EXT3 partition on my SD-Card using Partition Wizard on Windows. Next I installed S2E through the Play Store. Mind you, at that point S2E was the first thing I installed on my phone.

When I started S2E, it didn't see the EXT partition. Repartitioned the SD-Card, tried EXT4, reflashed the phone with AmericanAndroid, installed S2E. Still nothing. In the past two days, I tried everything I could think of but nothing worked. S2E never saw the EXT partition. Until today. I did the exact same thing I've done many times before now. Repartitioned the SD card (15GB FAT32 + 1GB EXT3), reflashed the phone, installed S2E. Rebooted.

This time it took a bit longer for the phone to start and when I started S2E it saw the EXT partition for the first time! It was also the first time I was able to tick any of the available move options.

So I ticked "Applications", "Application Data" and "Dalvik Cache" and rebooted the phone.

Again it took (much) longer for the phone to boot. When it was done booting, I checked if the EXT partition was mounted and if it contained any apps. It was and it did. I saw it had moved S2E to SD-Ext/App.

To test if it would automatically install new apps on the EXT partition, I started Play Store and installed a random app (Sky Maps to be precise). During the installation process, my phone rebooted spontaeously. I tried many times but each time my phone reboots. Either in the middle of downloading the app, or during installation.

You can see a video of this behavior on YouTube.

Oddly enough, the S2E icon has disappeared from my Launcher screen. It's still in my list of installed apps, but it's launcher icon has disappeared.

And the phone keeps rebooting randomly and I'm getting a million-and-one "Force Close" errors.

I'm getting incredibly frustrated by now. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?
[Android Apps and Games] alexk1781:
An update to my previous post...

Even though I hadn't received any replies to my previous post I went ahead and installed the latest nightly ROM update.

No change. It still seems to just ignore the checkmark next to the Application Data setting.

Any ideas? Anyone?
[Android Apps and Games] karaern:
perhaps it should sound a little weird explanation but i found that when u full back up automatic restore is done by recovery or titanium back up that kind of problems are seen. when i made a back up recovery manually, i mean application by application by ttitanium back upm then the s2e is working without problems. of course i am also confused, because applications are seem to be in ext4 but after around 200 applications installed, i also see that low storage problem.

still dunno what to do.
[Android Apps and Games] optimusodd:
Is there any way to manually chooses and stop some apps moving to the ext3/ext4 partition while keeping S2E installed ?Or any option that allows you to choose what you want to move to ext partiton/SD card/Internal memory ?
[Android Apps and Games] mwburden:
sd-ext not mounting?

I got a brand new 32GB microSDHC for my T-Mobile G2 running Cyanogenmod 7.1.

I used Clockwork to partition the new microSDHC with a 4GB ext4 partition and the rest FAT32.

I moved the contents of my old microSDHC to the FAT32 partition of the new microSDHC

I installed S2E, selected to move apps to the ext, and rebooted.

When the boot finished, nothing had moved. After some investigation, I found that sd-ext wasn't mounted.

I tried executing 05mountsd manually, and found that it does, in fact, properly mount sd-ext.

I installed links2sd, and it looks like /system/etc/init.d/11link2sd is executing properly, because the ext4 partition gets mounted on /data/sdext2.

As a final test, I added the line: echo "I was here" > /data/test.txt into the beginning of 05mountsd and rebooted again. No test.txt was created.

The permissions on 05mountsd appear to be correct:

-rwxr-x--- 1 root root 1541 Sep 30 09:45 05mountsd

Any idea why 11link2sd is executing, but 05mountsd doesn't seem to be?
[Android Apps and Games] mwburden:
After uninstalling link2sd and removing 11link2sd (apparently the uninstall for link2sd isn't very good about cleaning up stuff that link2sd leaves behind!), the ext partition was still mounting on /data/sdext2,

After some investigation, I found that link2sd had also added a /system/etc/install-recovery.sh script that was mounting the ext partition (and again, the link2sd uninstall did a crummy job of cleaning up after)

So I thought "Aha!", and I changed "/data/sdext2" to "/sd-ext" in /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and rebooted. After rebooting, I found that the ext partition is *STILL being mounted on /data/sdext2, even though my change to /system/etc/install-recovery.sh is still in place.

I'm currently running: find / -type f -exec grep -H sdext2 {} \;

to find anything else that's referencing /data/sdext2, but that will will take a while.

In the meantime, anyone know what I need to do to get the ext partition to mount correctly on /sd-ext?

I'm also wondering what ELSE the link2sd uninstall left behind...

---------- Post added at 01:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 PM ----------

OK, looks like the answer is that links2sd renamed /system/bin/debuggerd to debuggerd.bin, and created a new /system/bin/debuggerd with the commands to do the mount and then execute debuggerd.bin.

It looks like links2sd takes a "shotgun" approach and stuffs the mount code in every script it can think of that might get executed at boot time, hoping that one of them will actually execute (and I'm still wondering what else it left behind!)

So I changed "/data/sdext2" to "/sd-ext" in /system/bin/debuggerd, and now the ext partition is mounting on /sd-ext.

Renaming debuggerd to debuggerd.bin and replacing it with a script seems like the kind of thing that a newbie developer that didn't know the correct way to get a script to execute at boot time might kludge a way to execute it. Unfortunately, I don't know the correct way that this should be done under Android, either, so at the moment I'm stuck with my modification of link2sd's kludge.

Anyone got any bright ideas for me?

---------- Post added at 01:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 PM ----------

OK, sd-ext is correctly mounting, but S2E still isn't moving applications.

I enabled "Applications" in S2E, rebooted, and /sd-ext is still empty (except for a "lost+found" directory.)

Sorry if this has been asked before, but is CM7 necessary to use S2E? I'm using a stock (but rooted) Xperia Play / R800, and S2E just does not see my 2nd SD partition (ext3). Should I expect it to, or not?

Most (if not all) stock ROMs have no support for sd-ext partitions. You would need to run a custom ROM that does support it (CM being one of the ones that does).

[Android Apps and Games] bassmadrigal:
In the title for this thread it is stated "for CyanogenMod7". And the first line of the OP states "This application works only with CyanogenMod7!".

This thread hasn't been updated by the OP since June 2011...

The one in the Play Store was updated in Oct 2012 and supports CM7, CM9, and CM10. Since the OP hasn't come back in to update this thread, it would seem he is not providing support through here anymore. If it is not working on CM10.1, then I would contact the developer through his email link on the Play Store.
[Android Apps and Games] terabyte123:
Hello,

I am (finally) trying S2E but it's being kind of a big disappointment because I'm having so much trouble to get it working.

As soon as I open S2E and configure, for example, dalvik-cache to go into the ext partition, after reboot some apps are gone, including Google Play and S2E itself.

I've already tried many suggestions and nothing seems to work.

If I format sd-ext as ext4 the phone goes into bootloop (even if I check mount as ext4 in settings).

If I format sd-ext as ext3 the dalvik-cache goes to sd-ext (I confirm this because the internal storage lowers dramatically) but some apps are gone.

The missing apps were on internal storage and I did not check them to go into sd-ext. I'm only selecting dalvik-cache (one step at a time).

Some info: S2E app is in /data/data/ folder.

I'm running CM7.2

Can anyone help me please?
[Android Apps and Games] disq:
I can't seem to get the /data/data option working, the checkbox stays disabled in the UI. (sd-ext is mounted, app sees it, no problems there)

(Looks like "Advanced Mode" is no more, checked with the prefs file and github sources, it's removed)

Samsung Galaxy S (i9000), CM10, /data/data is a symlink to /datadata, which is a mount point for /dev/block/mtdblock2 (yaffs2)

The phone has bad nand, trying to get /datadata to sd-ext, got a 16gig class10 sd, so speed should be a non issue.

Moving a single app to internal storage?

Hey guys,

I have installed s2e on my Galaxy Ace and it's all OK.

Almost all:

I'm using "Notify my Android" for getting my fire alerts via push on my device. Since I've installed s2e I don't get this push notifications.

I had this effect already on my HTC Wildfire if there wasnt enough internal storage left.

So I think this is because the app datas are on the ext section of the storage.

So my Question:

Can I move single apps on the internal storage of my device? Or had anyone of you a similar problem and another solution for it?

Greetz,

Wostl

problems with sd class 10 :(

hi, I have serious problems with sd class 10. I have I have an "lg optimus one" and a "samsung giò" both with CyanogenMod 7.2 (the official version in the case of lg phone) and in past with every custom rooms I always used programs such as a2sd, simple2ext, INT2EXT (all into ext4 partition, including "date/data") etc.. always flawlessly with different sd class 4 (with some class 4 everything was quite smooth, with others I had lag). Now I bought 2 sd sa**ung class 10 from 8 gb, 2gb partitioned ext4 and the rest as fat. The problem is that using the programs mentioned above, after the second boot, partition ext4 is COMPLETELY corrupt on BOTH phones! I have no problem with fat. I tried the sd with mp3 players, used on pc as a usb stick etc. and I have no problems, only with ext4 I have this problem. The only program that doesn't corrupt ext4 is link2sd (with its limitations, cache and app preferences always on internal memory, and of course sooner or later the internal memory becomes full). Possible that the sd is "too fast" for both (?) phones? Are writing sd timing problems? I have to go back to using sd class 4? Is a problem of incompatibility of this sd brand? but with both pones? I could try to format ext as ext2 or ext3, but after the first recovery through clockworkmod, I would have formatted it as ext4... Advice? Thank you and sorry for my poor english. ciao :)
[Android Apps and Games] MrQuarc:
Hey terabyte123

one question: did you use another management tool like app2sd or appIIIMngr as I did? Perhaps this corrupts the functionality of S2E?
[Android Apps and Games] MrQuarc:
Hm ok, please, the guys for whom it works with S2E, could you pleas give us a hint, what exactly configuration you have?

a) which boot ROM (or is that irrelevant?)

b) which CyanogenMod (7.2?)

c) S2E, yes/no? or which other tool?

d) parallel other tool for moving apps to SD card?

Is it perhaps a problem, if i leave the cyanogen's setting of app install location to automatic, when i use S2E with sd-ext partition?

Sorry. I can't read all these 76 pages to find the answer.

I have CM7 on my HTC Desire CDMA with android 2.3.7

What should I do?

I created 2 partitions with CWM recovery, but it's still greyed-out :(

Yes. cyanogen mod. Yes, I partitioned with CMW recovery but didn't work. I also did it with Rom manager, but the same.
[Android Apps and Games] SaidJan:
SD Card Class10 - 32GB

I can't have access to linux machine. I have installed VMWare, but it couldn't recognize the phone.

What I think is maybe because of not mounted sd-ext or kernel version.

The kernel version is: 2.6.37.6-cyanogenmod-gac3270c

When I make a swap and fat32 and ext2 partition with adb shell, it can create the partitions, but it doesn't show what kind of file system it is. It just shows fat32.

I got the CM7 ROM flashed and my card partition in ext3

Checked with Titanium and Root explorer...failed (nothing in sd-ext)

Then I changed to install to "internal" in CM7 setting and rooted

Titanium showed the app2sd successful...however, when I wanted to doublecheck with root explorer I got FC

And soon after I got a black blank screen without any responses to any buttons so that it forced me to pull out the battery and reboot

Anyone having the same issue?
