moving apps to sd

it looks a bit different from G1
is this the correct "fstab" conf file to be modified ?
# cat /system/etc/vold.conf
## vold configuration file for Device
volume_sdcard {
## This is the direct uevent device path to the SD slot on the device
media_path /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc1
emu_media_path /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0/mmc_host/mmc0
media_type mmc
mount_point /sdcard
ums_path /devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0
}
unfortunately i can't find /system/init.rc
hope to inject a standard rom on this device soon !!!

At the moment we cannot get Apps working on the SD Card. Apps2SD won't work.
We are aware of this, and we understand that you'd like these features, but the hackers are currently busy working on exploits to install our own recovery for flashing baked ROMs.
init.rc is located on the top level of the root file system, under /init.rc . You need root to read the said file.

but ...
i'm used to linux and don't understand what we are missing in order to move apps to sd
since i'm root i should be able to do the extra mount of new partition, isn't it ?
actually, as far as understood, if android finds a new partition (either fat or ext) on the sd card it mounts it automagically

I have the same question, too.
Event we can't add extra mount in fstab. We could have the right to mount SD to /data/app, and just copying all apks to SD card, could we??

suoko,
I had done some tests today.
1. I format my sd card into ext3 format and copy all apks in /data/app into my sdcard.
2. mount my sd card on /data/app manually, and change the mode and owner of mounted folder and files.
You can install app into the sd card mounted on /data/app. But once you reboot them, (reset the /data/app), the market will be inconsistent with application list in settings. And I can't unmount the sd card after it mounted on /data/app.
So, I think it is still possible to use sd card for the app installation.
If you have any idea, please let me know... thanks

umount problem
by this "And I can't unmount the sd card after it mounted on /data/app." you mean you can't even access the sd vfat partition with your computer ?
i would only need vfat to be visible via pc not to screw installed apps
gonna try it too in a while

curiosity
as far you know, the install process of apks involves the "unzipping" of apks ?
or it's just a copy from the download apk folder to /data/app ?
what i would try is set a second app folder, this time in /sd/app
where /sd/app is an ext3 partition
so that we can leave main apps in internal memory and put extra apps in sd

the install process of apks is only to copy the app into /data/app folder. It is unzipped when the app is launched first time and cache them in another folder. So, we can found the dalvik-cache in the /data/ folder that the folder it unziped the dex files.
The test I had done is just mount the sd card on "/data/app" folder in android. So, if we want to add a second app folder, we need to change the app loader that I never did it before.
The unmount part means that I can mount the sd card on /data/app but I can't unmount that from /data/app, the message is "failed". The only way to unmount it is to reboot the tattoo. Once removing the sd card from tattoo, I can mount it to PC or tattoo again.

This picture is that I mount the sd card(500MB) on /data. The displaying size of flash (that's my sd card) in tattoo is 361MB, sorry for all chinese, you can find the number in the second line from bottom to up.
I don't know where to change the fstab record in tattoo. But it may be possible to write an app who runs at the machine startup and does the "mount" staff before other apps in /data/app executing.
I had one Hero with Apps2SD installed. It mounts the sd card on /system/sd and /data/dalvik-cache. The apps are installed and launched at /system/sd/app. I think it is the same way like mime.

2 install folders in linux ???
you know what ? i guess in linux is not that easy to set up a second install folder.
I think we could sim link a /data/app/app folder to /sd/app but then the install process should do something:
check /data/app folder space left, and in case it's full, install to /data/app/app

Yes, right. That's the way I use. But I mount the sd card directly on /system. This makes android to calculate the left space of my sd card.
Currently, I need to modify the /init.rc to make it mount at the boot. But the /init.rc seems in the ramdisk image, so I can't modify it and store it back. I don't know where the ramdisk image is, it seems in one of partition 0, 1, 2. Any idea??

hello people
have you test this?
http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-manually-partition-your-sd-card-for-android-apps2sd/

ok, trying now
formatted my 4gb sd to:
vfat: 3.4 GB
ext2: 508 MB
swap: 32 MB
i found partitions at:
mount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data/myapp
swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
must work on vold.conf now since ext2 on sd is not automatically mounted at /system/sd

another way ...
is create an ext2 img file to be mounted at boot using a loopback device.
no sd partitioning is needed then and the FULL-OF-APPS IMG FILE could be easily moved from one SD to another (aka to another android compatible phone).
modify /system/init.rc to mount an ext2 image on bootup.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3402719&postcount=683
extra ext2 partition creation [750MB] (on ubuntu):
dd if=/dev/zero of=sd.img seek=749999999 bs=1 count=1

mounting it (on android):
[mkdir /data/myapp]
mount -o loop sd.img /data/myapp
current state:
mount: mounting /dev/block/loop0 on /data/myapp failed: Invalid argument

the ext2 loop partition was an end 2008 discussion
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=463488&page=2
what i think now is extending the /data/app partition with the looped img file.
can we (without lvm) ?
I prefer the second install option
if android detects an extra ext2 partition or an ext2 img file, you can change the default install location in android preferences

Suoko, do your tattoo have /system/init.rc file??
In /init.rc, it doesn't import /system/init.rc. So, we can't use /system/init.rc to mount it.
currently, I need to compile my owned boot.img file. But the compiled file doesn't work. I don't know why. I following the following url to do so: http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images.
Any idea??
BTW, why do we need to mount /dev/loop0?? I just use mount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data/app to do so.

why loop?
Cause you don't have to partition the sd this way.
You just create an img file which can be used as a partition.
Think this:
You have a 4 gb sd and want to change it to store more music/vids/maps with a 16 gb one
You take the file and move it from the old sd to the new one.
You want to increase the img file size?
You create a new larger file?
You create it and move old img file contents to it.
We can probably extends its size some way

ok I see. That's a good idea for expanding purpose.
BTW, I had solved the boot.img problems. It is caused by the wrong version I checked out from repo. I use the correct version to build mkbootimg and everything works.
current state:
trying to mount the /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /data at the boot time. but all trials failed.

Partition usage

I've tried creating a partition to use it with Link2SD, but it doesn't seem to be working.
I would love if someone could provide a step-by-step tutorial on how to get the following to work on my S5830I:
*Increase internal storage by using the SD card
*Use the swap reserved space
I've used CWM to create a partition, but Link2SD apparently isn't mounting it correctly. I've tried ext2/ext3/ext4 mount scripts, none work.
Thanks a lot

S5830i swap settings
Try this:
I used ClockwordMod 5.0.2.6 for s5830i and [TeamCooper] Retribution beta 3.5 rom and Terminal Emulator from market
1, Format sd card in clockworkmod recovery:
Advanced/Partition SD card
ext 1024 MB
swap 128 MB
Reboot system
2, Install Terminal Emulator and Run for activate swapping
type su
type fdisk -l dev/block/mmcblk0
You should see this and more lines
/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 1861 1924 514080 82 Linux swap
the red number ( partition number ) will be needed later
type swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0pX
the red is x our partition number
Check with the drive that appeared to
type free
You should see similar:
# free
total used free shared buffers
Mem: 385772 376352 9420 0 26420
-/+ buffers: 349932 35840
Swap: 514076 0 514076
3, Create automatic run for swapping with Root Explorer
Go to /system/etc/init.d folder and set r/w mode ( tap the system r/w button at the top )
Create 05userinit file in this folder
Edit it with text editor ( long tap on the filename and select open in text editor line )
type this
[The first version of 05userinit isn't working, this is the correct code]
#!/system/bin/sh
#Activate swap at boot
swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0pX
echo 60 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
the red is x our partition number
Save file and set this permissions ( long tap and Permissions line )
OWNER [x] [x] [x]
GROUP [x] [ ] [x]
OTHERS [ ] [ ] [ ]
Go to /system/etc folder and set r/w mode ( tap the system r/w button at the top )
Create fstab file in this folder
type this
/dev/block/mmcblk0pX swap swap
the red is x our partition number
Save file and set this permissions ( long tap and Permissions line )
OWNER [x] [x] [x]
GROUP [x] [ ] [x]
OTHERS [ ] [ ] [ ]

I actually was doing everything correctly except for the swap activation. It's just that using this method, the internal storage isn't shown as increased in the settings.

This method doesn't increase the internal storage. It's give faster and smoother working.

I realize that, but I supposed that the phone would think it has more internal memory, showing 1gb in internal memory. That's what I was checking and that's why I thought it wasn't working.

How to unmount partitions on internal sd card

Hi, I need incease partitions of Userdata. I found some tutorials and for me it looks fine this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2710480.
Unfortunatelly I can't go over step about remove partitions because according to log are being used. I tried a lot of possibility with parted and fdisk but somehere I do mistakes. Can me help with this. See attachment with my steps. Thanks.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

I found solution after many experiments. The biggest problem it was unmount partitions and then these partitions remove. These things were possible do in OMNI ROM 4.4.4 over ADB. I found this solution here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712253&page=11
My steps:
0 - You download scripts fs-utils from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712253 and copy to MicroSDCard
1 - Install OMNIROM 4.4.4
2 - I was fighting with connection of ADB. I can't run ADB Sideload because I can't connect. I was only freely in recovery menu. I used following commands:
adb shell (this command connect command line to phone and in prompt I had something this ~ # 6 --> don't worry ... try to command ls and if will be listed folder from mobile so thats OK)
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
You have to try so long until will not correct adb shell .
3 - Now I had the biggest problem. At any cost you have to run unmount(command UMOUNT) and remove(command RM) partitions.
umount /sdcard
umount /data
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
rm 14
rm 15
mkpartfs logical ext2 1621 5865
name 14 Userdata
mkpartfs logical ext2 5865 7818
name 15 SDCard
quit
These commands must be done. If not something is wrong and you have to fix it some way.
Then it's easy. Run following commands
cd /ext_card/fs-utils
tune2fs -j /dev/block/mmcblk0p14
tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/block/mmcblk0p14
e2fsck -fpDC0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p14
tune2fs -j /dev/block/mmcblk0p15
tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/block/mmcblk0p15
e2fsck -fpDC0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p15
chown -R 2800:2800 /sdcard
After all steps I didn't have mounted internal SDCard. This is very small problem. In new recovery I formated as vfat and then I formated as ext4 and after restart it was mounted. Resize internal sdcard for apps DONE.

Dual boot for P-Smart

Hello
This Guide to make Dual-Boot for P-Smart that keep Stock rom untouched and install any GSIs. It allows two Android os installed at the same time and switch between them using SHRP Recovery for dual boot.
This method tested and worked on Fig-la1
Spoiler: General information
This done by creating a new system partition using Parted (shrink userdata partition and creat the new system partition)
To Boot from the new system partition: change the name of the new system partition to "system" and the name of old system partition to any name e.g. "system-b"
To Boot from the old system partition: change the name of the old system partition to "system" and the name of new system partition to any name e.g. "system-b"
Dual boot for P20 lite - demonstration video (I am using SHRP RECOVERY (like TWRP) with tweaks to change boot partition easily, instead of writing terminal commands. This a video shows the dual boot process)
Requirements​
TWRP/SHRP
Parted (attached arm and arm64, unzip the file)
Latest fastboot and ADB commands installed
Backup all your data because you will make a factory reset and format data partition
Steps:​
Boot to TWRP/SHRP
Run the following commands
Code:
adb push /path/to/parted /sbin/parted
adb shell
chmod 777 /sbin/parted
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
p free
note: parted /dev/block/xxxxx according do your device
3- it will show the list of partition "save this you may use it later". remember the number of old system partition which is in my case "52"
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
4- remove "userdata" partition which in my case number 59 using the following command
Code:
rm 59
5- create the new system partition (partition number 59 in my case ) using the following command
Code:
mkpart name fs_type start end
name: name of new partition e.g "system-b"
fs_type: file system type e.g "ex4"
start: the end value in MB of the previous partition, in my case "7153MB"
end: equal to start + size where size will be the size of the target partition. in my case in need 4GB partition so end=7153MB + 4GB =11153MB
In my case I'll type:
Code:
mkpart system-b ext4 7153MB 11153MB
set 59 msftdata on
name 59 system-b
6- create the "userdata" partition (partition number 60 in my case, start= 11153MB )
In my case I'll type:
Code:
mkpart userdata ext4 11153MB 31.3GB
set 60 msftdata on
name 60 userdata
7- get the new partition list
Code:
p free
8- exit
Code:
quit
9- format userdata and the new system partition using "mkfs.type /dev/block/mmcblk0pxx" (in my case partition number 59 and 60). you may need to reboot to stock recovery to make factory reset
Code:
adb push /path/to/mkfs.ext4 /sbin/mkfs.ext4
adb shell
chmod 777 /sbin/mkfs.ext4
mkfs.ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p59
mkfs.f2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p60
10- You can now switch between two systems using either of these two methods
Spoiler: Using SHRP Recovery
SHRP is a beautiful TWRP-based recovery with modern UI, custom layout, useful functions, and more.
In this method you must have "System" and "System-b" partitions, other names not accepted
1- Download SHRP Recovery for DUAL Boot from here
2- Flash it on recovery_ramdisk or erecovery_ramdisk
3- from the main screen choose tweaks
A- Active new system partition and new data profile
(Important Note: Now "System partition" is the new created partition and "System-b partition" is the default system partition)
B- Active default system partition and default data profile
(Important Note: Now "System partition" is the default system partition and "System-b partition" is the new created partition)
Reboot before make any change
Spoiler: manually
A- To Boot from your new system partition > boot to twrp and run the following command
Code:
adb push /path/to/parted /sbin/parted
adb shell
chmod 777 /sbin/parted
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
name 52 system-b
name 59 system
or from TWRP terminal write the following
Code:
parted -s /dev/block/mmcblk0 name 52 system-b
parted -s /dev/block/mmcblk0 name 59 system
change the number 52 and 59 according to your partition list (in my case 59: new system partion, 52 old system partition ). Then reboot TWRP and flash your new android os
B- To Boot from your old system partition > boot to twrp and run the following command
Code:
adb push /path/to/parted /sbin/parted
adb shell
chmod 777 /sbin/parted
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
name 59 system-b
name 52 system
or from TWRP terminal write the following
Code:
parted -s /dev/block/mmcblk0 name 59 system-b
parted -s /dev/block/mmcblk0 name 52 system
change the number 52 and 59 according to your partition list (in my case 59: new system partion, 52 old system partition ). Then reboot
