I am using CyanogenMod v3.6.8.1 and I decided I wanted a swap partition.
I partitioned my 2GB SD with a 32MB swap partition and formatted using gparted.
From the shell (using adb) I remounted /dev/block/mtdblock3 with rw and edited /system/etc/fstab and added a line for the swap. Here is what the entire file looks like now:
Code:
/dev/block/mtdblock3 /system yaffs2 rw
/dev/block/mtdblock4 /cache yaffs2 rw
/dev/block/mtdblock5 /data yaffs2 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard vfat rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd auto rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 none swap sw
/system/modules/modules.sqf /system/modules squashfs ro,loop
/system/xbin/xbin.sqf /system/xbin squashfs ro,loop
I can turn on the swap with 'swapon -a' which works and shows up in /proc/swaps and with the 'free' command, but upon boot, swap isn't activating.
I'm not really familiar with the android init scripts, so I'm not sure how I can enable the swap automatically upon boot. Any advice would be appreciated.
Okay I fixed it.
I downloaded one of Drizzy's roms that I know use swap, extracted, and searched for 'swap' in all the files. I found it in /system/bin/a2sd at the end. Here is what's there:
Code:
if [ -n /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 ];
then
mkswap /dev/block/mmcblk0p3;
fi;
if [ -e /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 ];
then
echo 30 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness;
swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3;
fi;
The first if doesn't make sense to me as it's a string test which will always be true, so I got rid of it and just kept the test for the file existing, but I changed it to -b to be a little more specific (to see if it's a block device), and I commented out the swappiness change to leave it at default.
Im using same rom and i woild love to do this but is there any other way as im totally unfamiliar with adb

I just used adb because I can use the copy/paste function of my gnome terminal and it's easier than using the shell on the phone itself.
Here is what is needed:
Get into a root shell, either on the phone or using adb.
Code:
mount -t yaffs2 -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
vi /system/bin/a2sd
press capital G which will take you to the bottom of the file
press lower case o which will open a line below your cursor for editing.
type in the following:
Code:
if [ -b /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 ];
then
echo 30 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness;
swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3;
fi;
press escape to exit insert mode (I read that in the terminal emulator you have to hold the trackball and press 1 for esc)
type :wq and press enter.
exit terminal and reboot. To see if it's working, get back into a terminal and use the command 'free'
you can also do 'swapon -a' instead of specifying the swap partition itself. Note that the above example uses the third partition of the SD card as the swap.
This also assumes you have already created the swap partition and formatted it as swap.
You can omit the swappiness line to leave it at the linux default of 60.
Hey there,
it's known that ext4 with disabled journaling is little faster than default, but it is also less reliable.
This can result in screwed up homescreens and force-closes after reboot/shutdown/battery pull.
I have successfully re-enabled journaling for system and cache partition, but it seems not to work correctly for data partition, at least for me. Can you help?
Code:
echo ..............system Partition...............
/sbin/busybox umount -l /system
/sdcard/tmp/tune2fs -O +has_journal -c 5 -i 5d -m 0 -o journal_data_ordered /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
fsck.ext4 -Dfy /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
/sbin/busybox mount -t ext4 -o nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=0,nobh,data=ordered,noauto_da_alloc /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
echo ...............done...............
echo ...............cache Partition...............
/sbin/busybox umount -l /cache
/sdcard/tmp/tune2fs -O +has_journal -c 100 -i 100d -m 0 -o journal_data_writeback /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
fsck.ext4 -Dfy /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
/sbin/busybox mount -t ext4 -o nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=0,nobh,data=ordered,noauto_da_alloc /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /cache
echo ...............done...............
echo ...............data Partition...............
/sbin/busybox umount -l /data
/sdcard/tmp/tune2fs -O +has_journal -c 5 -i 5d -m 0 -o journal_data_ordered /dev/block/mmcblk0p8
fsck.ext4 -Dfy /dev/block/mmcblk0p8
/sbin/busybox mount -t ext4 -o nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=0,nobh,data=ordered,noauto_da_alloc /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /data
sync
echo ...............done...............
Semi-finished:
Flash journaling.zip via CWM to enable back journaling
Download
Download 'terminal emulator' from market and type the following to test if it works.
If 'has_journal' is present then journaling is enabled.
For /system
Code:
/system/bin/tune2fs -l /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 | grep features
For /cache
Code:
/system/bin/tune2fs -l /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 | grep features
For /data
Code:
/system/bin/tune2fs -l /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 | grep features
Please post feedback if it works for you (fully)!
nice good work!
Thanks!
Another easy, though more time consuming, way to re-enable journaling is to let CWM do it by a complete backup and restore.
(You can also switch between ext3 and ext4 by changing the file names in clockworkmod/backup/.../ and of course also in the nandroid.md5 file.)
Please post feedback if it works for you (especially for data partition)
Recently I became interested in dual booting my Atrix, mainly for the fun of it, and because I like the convenience of quickly reverting to a different ROM without having to restore it from backup. I would also like to evaluate the performance of my system with sdcard in the loop among other things.
From my web research, it appears that multiple attempts at dual booting the Atrix have been made without much success. I have heard of SafeStrap, but I'm the kind of person who wants to know what’s happening inside the black box. So I decided to try my hand by flashing CM9 to internal memory and CM7 to my Patriot 16GB Class 4 micro-SD card. I did all of this on Ubuntu 11.10 using GParted, Android SDK and several Perl and Bourne shell scripts that I either customized or created.
I probably could have done this on Windows (which for example has Atrix USB drivers whereas Ubuntu does not) and perhaps be able to use available space on my 10GB emmc to host additional ROMs. But in spite of the lack of drivers, I felt more comfortable having a full-up, dedicated *nix-based OS on hand to support the experiment.
I decided to to push a stable ROM to sdcard (in this case, CM7.2 RC1), one that runs well without any patches --- because a stock recovery tool wouldn't recognize it.
The experiment was successful as I now enjoy my 3GB CM7 build running from SD card with stable browser, keyboard and camera. And I can still use Joker's Kitchen Sink to explore some of the many possible ROM configurations without touching the CM7 build.
YouTube video (3:38) showing reboots from one ROM to the other: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31TPyAguQ60
Preliminaries (Ubuntu)
GParted and Perl installed
Android SDK for Linux (i386) installed http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
I download testsign.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551711 , copy to Ubuntu <android-sdk-linux/tools> directory and extract zip there. This creates a testsign subfolder with testsign.jar file inside.
Atrix Filesystem Analysis
I boot my phone to CWM 5.0.2.0, open an Ubuntu terminal, get root (sudo -s), run adb shell and invoke the “edify” and “df” commands to view the current filesystem:
~ # edify

SD Card Partitioning
Next I get root on Ubuntu, connect SD card to PC, ensure SD card adapter switch is set to read/write, run GParted and shrink the vfat (fat32) partition to allow room for /system, /cache and /data in that order. Then I create these partitions as ext4 with sizes reasonably consistent with the existing filesystem on emmc.
Note: GParted did not see my internal (emmc) card, and it prefixed the sdcard partitions as “/dev/mmcblk0” instead of “/dev/mmcblk1”.
Now I exit GParted, pull sdcard from PC and reinsert into phone. Then I boot to CWM, connect phone to PC, enter adb shell and verify the new sdcard partition map using the onboard “parted” tool:
~ # parted /dev/block/mmcblk1
GNU Parted 1.8.8.1.179-aef3

Clone CM7 to SD Card
Presently I have CM7.2 RC1 installed in emmc, and I want to clone this ROM to sdcard. But I first ensure that my phone is adequately charged, especially if I will be in CWM for a long time. My experience is that CWM can drain the battery, even when phone is connected to a powered USB hub.
I boot to CWM 5.0.2.0, open Ubuntu terminal on PC, get root (sudo -s), run adb shell and mount the new CM7 sdcard partitions.
Then I clone ROM to sdcard. (I did this over ADB, though in retrospect I probably could have done it more quickly with terminal emulator.)

Since the data partition is fairly large, I ending up using the “cat” command, which cut the transfer time to about 6 minutes….
~ # cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p16 > /dev/block/mmcblk1p4
Flash CM9 to Internal Memory
Now I push Joker CM9 beta 0.6.0 zip to sdcard and install via CWM...

Modify CM7 Ramdisk, Re-pack ROM Zip and Re-sign
Now I modify ramdisk in the CM7 boot.img to mount the sdcard /system, /cache and /data partitions at boot time. To help streamline the mod, I wrote custom Perl scripts based on the ones linked here:
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images
My Perl script “unpack-romzip.pl” actually starts with a baseline ROM, extracts boot.img and then p****s out kernel and ramdisk directory from boot.img. Here is the script in action...
[email protected]:~/Desktop# ./unpack-romzip.pl update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-olympus+gapps.zip

In this experiment, the only ramdisk file I will modify is init.olympus.rc: I do so by commenting out the /system, /cache and /data mount commands for the emmc partitions and creating equivalent mount commands for the sdcard partitions...
# mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system noatime nodiratime wait ro barrier=1
# mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p16 /data nosuid nodev noatime nodiratime wait barrier=1 noauto_da_alloc

mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk1p3 /cache nosuid nodev noatime nodiratime wait barrier=1 noauto_da_alloc
Now I back out of ramdisk and run my other Perl script: repack-romzip.pl, which combines ramdisk and kernel to obtain a new boot image and then generates a repacked ROM zip. Here is the script in action...
[email protected]:~/Desktop# ./repack-romzip.pl update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-olympus+gapps.zip

I am almost ready to re-sign my CM7 ROM zip. But I first need to modify its updater-script to mount /system to /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 (sdcard) instead of /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 (emmc). So I edit the updater-script and change:
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p12");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p12", "/system");
to
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk1p2");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk1p2", "/system");
Now I invoke the java command below to re-sign the CM7 zip:
[email protected]:~/Desktop# java -classpath ~/android-sdk-linux/tools/testsign/testsign.jar testsign update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-olympus+gapps-repack.zip update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-olympus+gapps-repack-signed.zip

-rw------- 1 robert robert 104999357 2012-05-01 20:10 update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-olympus+gapps.zip
Then I transfer the re-signed zip to sdcard/Download, reboot to CWM and install.
Test Results
I do some preliminary testing by attempting to boot CM9 from Joker's CM9 1.0GHz v4 boot image file:
[email protected]:~/Desktop# fastboot boot cm9-1.0-atrixv4-boot.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.204s]

OKAY [ 0.002s]

Success. Now I try CM7...
[email protected]:~/Desktop# fastboot boot update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-olympus+gapps-repack.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.182s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.002s]
finished. total time: 0.185s
And to my delight, CM7 boots
Finally I install Script Manager and push my custom boot-rom.sh to sdcard/Boot. This script offers four options: Current ROM (default), CM9, CM7 or CWM recovery. Rebooting to the other ROM is just a few keystrokes away, though I must configure Script Manager to run boot-rom.sh as superuser (press SU button on configuration screen).

Conclusions and Thoughts
My Atrix dual boot capability offers an efficient means to circumvent instabilities in CM9 by providing a stable CM7 ROM to run from my sdcard. Of course there are limitations here in that a stock recovery won't recognize my CM7 build. But I'm fine with that since I probably won't patch.
I think it would be kind of interesting to push identical ROMs on emmc and sdcard and compare performance. I heard from a fellow engineer that Class 16 cards are now available.
It would also be interesting to explore refinements like multiple-boot from emmc and various forms of automation.
This is a work in progress and I appreciate your constructive feedback.

Sent from my MB860 using XDA
Wow thanks for the info. I wanted to give this a try but I had a question. If I partition my sdcard to the specs you provided, can I flash your resigned cm7 zip and it would flash it to my sdcard. If that is possible, could you post the modified cm7?
Wow....waiting is coming.......
Something you could look into is moving the apps to SD and let each rom build its own dalvik cache. Then you can keep your apps between both builds
Sent from my MB855 using XDA
I think you better get into developing roms, because it sounds like you have an amazing amount of knowledge with this technology. Something I can only hope to achieve, lol.
I think you should make a full length 45 min youtube clip to explain everything, but I know that's not gonna happen, so see how much you can cram into 5 minutes! lol
Nice job man, outstanding progression!

What's this? I don't... I... can't comprehend...
Anyone able to make an auto script to help beginners and confused people like me? I can't follow through half of the OP's instructions.... not used to using SDK and terminal/ADB.
Woooow!! This is epic dude! I could have a Blur rom on my sd and a custom rom on my internal, to keep webtop functionality when i want! A Windows guide would be prettt awesome!
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
Amazing!
This is amazing!! Thanks a lot for your work!
This could make things MUCH easier for me when testing both CM9 and CM7 Neutrino.
I hope this project matures by the time my exams finish, like as Jokersax11 said, the ability to save dalvik cache would be awesome.
Massive thumbs up from me here
This really is some fantastic development! I am beyond impressed. You my friend should join the league of developer jedi's.
Fantastic work!
Now, if this could only somehow be transformed into a zip...LOL

+1 for the ZIP and making this easier to use for the Ordinary good people like Some of Us
Amazing work ! Keep up
Thanks to your guide I've made it to cloning to sdcard all with windows. Will post back with tutorial if I can finish the job. Thank you for your amazing work!
Maybe you can work together with BootManager dev to support Atrix...
Dude, you're awesome. I think this is the final little push I needed to get me computer set up to dual boot Ubuntu and windows definitely going to be worth it now. Thanks for the work

You are quite welcome!

Sweet!
Seeing as how you had this on the back burner, I am SO glad you got those kernel building issues squashed. Awesome job man!

Here's the problem: I needed GApps on CM7 to provide the tools needed to support my experiment. However, Google has requested that copyrighted material be removed from CM7. So while I was able to streamline the integration of GApps with CM7, I could not provide the ROM, only the procedure. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25588129#post25588129.
IDK, maybe Google will soften up a bit...?
Features:
- Move only 3rd-party-apps/user-apps and its data to sdcard
- System-apps data (contacs,sms etc) are pretty much intact in-case of sdcard failure or removed so your phone is not rendered useless
- Install as many apps as you like (limited by your /sd-ext size), your internal data usage will remain around 40~45mb
Mechanism in general:
- mount /sd-ext
- copy selected /data directories ( app, data, dalvik-cache etc) to /sd-ext
- bind /data directories to /sd-ext directories ( not the /data it self )
- create new directories for system-apps-data in /data
- move system-apps-data to new directories in /data and sysmlink it
Requirement:
- Init.d supported rom
- Busybox
- primary linux formated 2nd partition on sdcard
- Root: only needed if not using recovery flashable zip
Installation:
- DWYOR, remember to backup first
- NOT WORKING with device already running similar init.d script ( but it might work if its only using bind mounts ),
- disable or remove it ( mountext, mountsd, ad2sd etc), then wipe if necessary
- flash the zip from CWM/Stock recovery mode
or
- manually put it in /system/etc/init.d
- set permission: 0750
- set owner: root group: shell
Important:
- Will effectively work after the second boot.
- DO NOT remove sd-card while system is running
- Curently TESTED only on mini and young with stock gb, possibly working on any device/version
Example script usage:
Called in mountext script (modified cm7 script):
Filename: 05mountext
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
#
# mount sd-ext partition in sdcard
# mod: use aNu_d2sd functions library script
#
# anuneanu
logI="log -p i -t mountext"
logE="log -p e -t mountext"
E2FSCK=`which e2fsck`
[ `which busybox` = "" ] && exit || BB=`which busybox`
[ "$SD_EXT_DIRECTORY" = "" ] && SD_EXT_DIRECTORY="/sd-ext"
# call aNu_d2sd function library script
. "/system/etc/init.d/99aNu_d2sd"
# find sd-ext partition
for MMC_NUM in `seq 0 9`; do
MMC_TYPE=`cat /sys/block/mmcblk$MMC_NUM/device/type`
if [ "$MMC_TYPE" = "SD" ]; then
SD_EXT_PART=/dev/block/mmcblk${MMC_NUM}p2
break
fi
done
# mount sd-ext if a valid partition was found
if [ -b "$SD_EXT_PART" ]; then
# check sd-ext filesystem
if [ -x "$E2FSCK" ]; then
$logI "checking $SD_EXT_PART for errors..."
$E2FSCK -p $SD_EXT_PART
e2fsk_exitcode=$?
else
$logE "executable e2fsck not found, assuming no filesystem errors"
e2fsk_exitcode=0
fi
# mount sd-ext partition
if [ $e2fsk_exitcode -le 2 ]; then
if [ $($BB grep -c ext4 /proc/filesystems) -ne 0 ]; then
mount_opt="-t ext4 -o noauto_da_alloc,data=ordered,commit=15,barrier=1,nouser_xattr,errors=continue,noatime,nodiratime,nosuid,nodev"
else
mount_opt="-t auto -o nosuid,nodev"
fi
$BB mount $mount_opt $SD_EXT_PART $SD_EXT_DIRECTORY
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
$BB chown 1000:1000 $SD_EXT_DIRECTORY
$BB chmod 0771 $SD_EXT_DIRECTORY
$logI "$SD_EXT_DIRECTORY successfully mounted"
aNu_d2sd "/data/app* /data/data /data/dalvik-cache /data/local"
else
$logE "unable to mount filesystem for $SD_EXT_DIRECTORY!"
no_sdext=1
fi
else
$logE "e2fsck returned error $e2fsk_exitcode"
$logE "unable to repair ext partition...not mounting"
no_sdext=1

there is typo in function file line 27 column 56, preventing it from creating system dalvik-cache.
the download file has been updated, please grab the new one.
