[webtop] webtop2sd discussion (currently version 2.0.1)

Note: Please keep this thread restricted to Bionic-specific issues. Atrix (and general) webtop2sd issues should be discussed in this thread instead. Threads for other devices are referenced at the top of the main webtop2sd thread.
Discuss webtop2sd here (the other thread will be kept clean for announcements, FAQs, etc.).
Before you report an issue:
Make sure it's not on the Known Issues list first!.
Basic debugging, since these are going to be questions I ask anyways:
If you hit problems with the Android webtop2sd application, you'll need to tell me the error, and give me the last few lines of adb logcat. Run this adb command, which will filter out most of the unimportant lines:
adb logcat ActivityManager:i AndroidRuntime:i webtop2sd:i *:s
Are you actually booting from your SD card? You can find this out by checking the Diagnostics tab in webtop2sd, under "Currently mounted webtops". If webtop isn't listed, you're not booted from your SD card. If this is the case, report what ROM you're running from.
Don't worry about webtop-configurator on the Droid Bionic for now. The current version won't work, but the next version will.
Note: One of the early updates will involve being able to create a filesystem file in /data so that you don't need an SD card (something that was present in earlier versions of my scripts but ended up being impractical for the Atrix, but is quite practical for the Bionic).
Thanks to tallnerd1985, who made this port possible.

Make some noise people! Looking forward to this! 900M /osh just doesn't cut it

I'm personally stoked for this. have some spare mini sd cards just calling my name to be used.....
Sogarth, you da man. tallnerd, same goes for you.

Hell, since our phone is so much better than the Atrix as far as storage space goes, we will not need to use our slow sdcards, we can use part of the 8gb of internal memory for the Webuntu partition.

you know, I'm glad you said that. I was hoping we could change that partition. Use up some of that extra space.

Sorry, but somebody else is going to have to figure out how to repartition the internal memory. That's one of those things that I'm not going to touch with a 20-ft pole....
The main reason I don't want to use /mnt/sdcard for a file is that it will then cause some pretty severe problems if you ever try to mount that from a computer (since Android won't be able to unmount /mnt/sdcard, since the filesystem file is still in use). I suppose if you wanted to guarantee that you would never, ever want to get to contents of /mnt/sdcard over USB, maybe, but that's not something I'd want to try to enforce.

so back to the sdcard-ext partition.
out of curiosity, how large are you making the webuntu partition?

that's a loaded question. lol. and like a boss I almost spit my coffee out when I saw that pic.
4 gigs looks fine to me....i see you've got it set to 7790 as the max. thats perfect. Didn't realize your app would allow adjustment of the partition size. forgive me.

Who said 7,790 MB is the max? That was just because it was an 8 GB card I was testing with.

lol. roger that. makes sense that it could be set to the size of whatever card you have.

Would it be possible to install the system partitions to /osh and have /usr and /home on the
Sd card or is that useless with class 10 cards? Not sure about the speed of the internal memory. If it's faster it would be a worthy feature...

afaik, internal memory is going to be a fair amount faster than an SD card. Also, /home is a symlink to /data/home, so it wouldn't end up on the SD card anyways. At that point, /osh/usr is going to be most of /osh, so you might as well just have all of /osh live on the SD card.

Any progress on webtop2sd? I'm completely out of space with the limited amount... Can't wait till this is ready

[MOD] native swap

hey guys im making this thread cus androidboss dint know how to do this and im mkaing it easier for him(might help others too so )
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DEAD SDCRADS PHONES LAPTOPS DESKTOPS AND ANYTHING ELSE
requirements
-windows computer
-phone with swiftdroid or any rom that supports inti.d boot scripts
-recovery 5.0.2.3
1. backup all sdcard stuff to computer.
2. wipe all data from the sdcard. after that use this to remove all partitions from sdcard( if you do not have any other partitions on sdcard skip to the end bellow the last picture)
http://www.partition-tool.com/personal.htm
the pics will look may look different cus im using a older version
mine looks like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
to remove all the other partitions
when all is done click apply at the top lefthand corner. at the end after it refreshes make sure there is only one partition left . the FAT32 partition.
so now the card has no data put it in the phone and boot into recovery(5.0.2.3). there go to advance>partition sdcard>EXT size 2M(2M if you dont want a ext partition but if you want then the size is up to you )>swap size 256m
power down the phone and put back data into the sdcard. now enjoy swap
well this is my first thread so hope it helps!!

hahaha thank you
every much bs828 !!!
You helped me a lot!!!

Thanks a lot mate.
Edit: will use this on my girls gt540.
These typos was sent from my Nexus S [I9023]

custom rom??

I use this method more than 2 or 3 month, thats nothing new. Mur4ik Swiftdroid roms use this method, automatically find&use SD card's swap partition.
Before that, i made a video for my 2.1 Ultimate rom, how to partition SD card under windows to use swap&ext partition. (I use swapper for swap and joe's autoapp2SD in my ROM) Sometimes it not possible because compatibility problems between win&card readers but newer CWM recoveries able to partition cards.

yeah like i said androidboss did not know how to do this so i made this. others may also find is useful so why not make it public ??

hi, tnx for guide... folowing it i found out that me sdcard was formated like super floppy, maybe that was cose of sdcard unmounting.

LoL hope it helped

Just tried it, works like a charm

Im quite a newbie in this, how exactly does swap and ext porticions work and what do they do ?

the memory card you are using is in a fat32 format so by partition it to let say a ext3 file type you can store apps on it(if im not wrong the phone's memory is also ext3) swap works as addition external ram used to run apps

Where can I find recovery 5.0.2.3?

look in root explorer (or any root file manager), in folder etc/init.d
if there isnt script called 07swapon, the swap wont active. and afaik, mike's ics doesnt have this script. u must add it manually.

Yes take 1 from any rom

How can I open *.img files so I can get the 07swapon file?
Can you give me the download link for swapon file?

[Link2SD][SWAP] How to prep your SD card for it for Nameless ROM

What does this do?
make 3 partitions on SDCARD
-FAT32 > Primary Storage
-EXT4 > Secondary Storage Internal memory dummy
-Linux Swap > Extra RAM
Do I need to Backup my SDCARD contents?
Not needed, but if you want you can, it doesn't erase your sdcard data unless you did something wrong.
1/ Boot up your Windows machine
2/ Unmount your sdcard card on phone eject it and Insert your Micro SD card into a card reader and attach it to the computer
3/ Install Mini Partition Wizard Home Edition
4/ Run Partition Wizard Home Edition.
5/ Look for your SD card along the bottom and identify your FAT32 Partition
6/ Right click on it and choose "Move/Resize Partition"
7/ Use the down arrow in the middle field "Partition Size:" to change the value and consequently the value of the "Free Space After: field as well until you have created around 2307 MB of free space. *Warning - Do not create free space before the first primary FAT32 partition!!! If you do discard changes and start over!
8/ Click "OK"
9/ Identify the new unallocated space on the drive map.
10/ Right click on it and choose "Create"
11/ When you get the warning about the partition not being able to be used in Windows click "Yes" to continue
12/ Choose Ext4 for partition type. Primary, Resize to 2000 MB
13/Right click on empty 300 MB left Create Linux swap partition, Primary
14/ Make sure it is all primary not a logical partition
15/ Name it if you want.
16/ Click "OK" to continue
17/ Click the BIG "Apply" button in the top left of the window
18/ Choose "Yes" to continue from the pop up
19/ Let it do it's work.
Congratulations! Step 1 Complete!
Now to step 2:
1/ Eject and place your SD card back into your phone
2/ Install Link2SD from the Android Market
3/ Run it
4/ On first run it will ask you the type of partition your second SD card partition is. Choose Ext4 depending on which you made it.
5/ Follow the directions to reboot your phone
Congratulations! Link2SD is now working on your phone!
1.choose the funnel and choose User
2.choose multi select and select apps to to be moved to sd-ext and choose actions then create link choose all 3 checkbox
At this point I recommend you Menu click and go to Settings and choose "Autolink" to automatically link programs (.APK), dalvik cache files (.DEX) and library files (libs) to your SD Card 2'nd partition when a new program is installed.
Now for some strategy!
You say, "I've got all this external space! Why bother putting any programs on the internal space?"
Well...SPEED MAN! SPEED!
I keep Launchers, Widgets, Background processes like Titanium Backup, etc, on the internal as space allows to allow for speed when booting. The internal memory is faster than your SD card and keeping these programs here helps a lot in speeding up your boot time. This is an option with Link2SD that you DON'T have with Data2SD or Data2Whatever!
You can also keep commonly accessed programs like Tapatalk for example, on this internal fast memory.
You can also mass move by multi selecting, several programs to and from either internal, SD card, or SD card second partition. Ideal for your initial move to your new second partition of your apps pre-installed prior to link2sd.
People wanted instructions for a third swap download 81swap.rar in attachment extract 81swap script and push to /system/etc/init.d/ folder, during boot it would mount sdcard swap.
in cmd.
adb remount
adb push 81swap /system/etc/init.d/
adb shell chmod 777 /system/ect/init.d/81swap
reboot phone
to check if it mounted in terminal emulator type
su
free
see swap if it changed size to 400.

WARNING: From now on your SDCARD should not be Unmounted or ejected when phone is on.
Only eject SDCARD if phone is off.
Otherwise some problems might occur.
AUTHOR: d33ps1x
EDITED BY: me
FAQ:
Why when I created linked apps why does my Internal Memory Storage still low
A: After linking your apps to EXT4, reboot phone to see if Internal Storage increased.
Why my internal memory is still 700+ mb
A: link2sd ext4 partition is like a drawer so instead of 1 drawer you have 2, transfering stuff to your second drawer.
How can I check memory info?
A: In link2sd app hold recent apps button then choose storage info.
How does link2sd work?
It creates a link shortcut like in windows in internal memory and transfer the main apps files in sd-ext.
Can I connect my phone to usb storage mode?
Sure you can sd-ext partition won't be unmounted only your fat32 partition will be so computer will read contents of sdcard.
Stoshke says:
If you connect HTC desire C in USB mode on computer running linux OS, you can mount ext partition on your PC using Device Notifier, but this way you will dismount it from the phone. So be careful if you have automount enabled.

Questions
Hi einstein.frat ,are you running all this on your phone atm?
I ask because I've been waiting for my new sd card to arrive(it has) and have been looking and trialling this Mod over the last few days or so and I've met a few problems and irregularities .
I was going to PM you originally but I thought asking you in the thread might actually prove useful to others as well as myself .
I've read 3 other threads on this subject , the first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432459 is referred to you in this thread.
The second http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919326 is the thread about the app we are using to link to our ext partitions.
Now first question ;
Are the partition sizes you quote , the sizes you used as to me (and reading the other thread) they seem small . I wonder if you have typed KB instead of MB ?
Second question is about the swap file , the thread I referenced is this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1659231
The Author basically goes through all the same procedures as everyone else but he uses an app instead of your script to manage the swapfile .
Now I agree with your thoughts here(i assume you wrote the script for this reason) that your script is a more elegant way of implementing the swap file at boot up .
But I think your line ;
adb shell chmod 777 /system/ect/init.d/81swap
should actually read;
adb shell chmod 777/system/etc/init.d/81swap
Just 2 very small differences
Anyway I have done it all and got it working on my new sd card so thankyou very much .:good:
Now my last tip? I guess I could call it that , is to do with checking if swap is working . Going back to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1659231
The Author points out that if you run 'free' in terminal emulator if you have failed it will look like this (swap is all zeros)

and if it is successful it will look like this

Your chmod is wrong that is directory 777/ which doesnt exists right way is 777(space)/ chmod is attrib in windows like making it read only, hidden or write protect. 777 means read, write, executable to the file in all groups. If this it not set it won't run.
2000 = 2gb
300 = 300mb
Swap script is to enable linux swap partition on sdcard, nothing else.

Hi einstein., thanks for your mod and development. Could this mod (Link2SD and swap) running on other devices with init.d support (I would like to test it with me)? If so, I would your permission I use your guide as a template for mine get in the S3 mini section, or not? Thanks for your answer and I wish you all the best for the new year, more!

sorry for my double post but ...
Hi einstein., Link2SD works very good and fine but I have problems with the swap script. My sdcard is mmcblk0 and I have mmcblk1, these are split on again in mmcblk1p1, mmcblk1p2, mmcblk1p3. What is the partition for swap? I've tried several but none worked. The value in the terminal emulator is 0 for swap. At the moment I do not go on, unfortunately ... Or can I see in a file where is the partition for swap in my device? Or do I need to swap a unsecured boot.img with swap support? I have enabled the init.d for stock rom and secured kernel but all scripts in the init.d and Link2SD works very good and fine. Thanks for your help.

Maybe your kernel doesn't support swap if you tried all 3 partitions.
Desire c kernel config have it enabled by default.

Will add this to index thread soon.

Hi einstein., thanks for your answer. I'll try again now. So one of these mmcblk1p1, mmcblk1p2, mmcblk1p3 partitions be destined for swap, I understand this correctly? Thanks for your mods and roms. Link2SD works perfectly. Can something happen when I test a another partition in the script specified and this is not be used for swap? Thanks for your help but sorry for my english ...
Regards leather.face
Edit:
@einstein., thanks for your help but my question has been settled. The stock kernel in the S3 mini supports no swap. I tested all the partitions but not working. Link2SD works perfectly. Thanks einstein. and have a nice evening.
Regards

Just in case anyone is thinking of adding this mod to their desire c my opinion is that It's worth it.
Performance when switching between apps is much better. I've tried most of the tweaks I can find, and this single change has made the most difference.
Boot time is significantly longer and I suppose you run the risk of wearing out your SD card sooner but its still worth it.
Thanks for the detailed instructions.
When using the latest version of nameless the swap will setup automatically ( you still need to create the partitions before flashing the Rom)

einstein, if I delete the symlink of an app, it goes back to the internal storage, right?
and an other thing: after doing the swap, my recent apps button goes straight into 2nd option mode, as if I held it longer, so no recent apps menu comes up. Do you have a tip how to fix it?

[Q] [URGENT]Link2SD or App2SD(APP Migr), SD card

Alright, so I've rooted and flashed CWM but when doing backups in
Nandroid and Titanium both stored in on my internal memory, while I want it on my SD card.
SD card: 32GB, FAT32(one partition), tried to make two FAT32 partitions but the second was not detected by both Windows pc and phone.
Phone sees my internal storage as "sdcard0" while it sees my sd card as "extSDCard"
1)Should I use App2SD(they changed it's name to App MIGR) or Link2SD to move apps to SD?
I've got most things covered for Link2SD but I still don't understand the init.d support; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087497
2)While the Nandroid backup is pretty much organised, Titanium backup has like dozens of files, which am I supposed to choose if I wanted to restore my Titanium backup ?( I did the Backup new user+system apps & newer versions batch only.)(Nandroid didn't even detect my SD card while backing up.)

In cwm choose "backup and restore" / "backup to external sdcard" and your backups will be put in clockworkmod-folder on external sd.
For titanium backup you have to set location for backups to be on your external.
Have a look in titanium settings to change the default path.
I use derectorybind to bind the whole android folder to external.
Works great!

Both faria and benzrom (including drom) have init.d support. Just follow the guide to setup ext4 partition and Linux swap partition and link2sd should run fine.

Init.d support can be done on every rom.
Universal init.d

In cwm choose "backup and restore" / "backup to external sdcard" and your backups will be put in clockworkmod-folder on external sd.
For titanium backup you have to set location for backups to be on your external.
Have a look in titanium settings to change the default path.
I use derectorybind to bind the whole android folder to external.
Works great!

Got both external options to work for now.
Did u mean u bind the whole RAM or just the internal storage. Does it warn you when some apps i.e. widgets can't be moved(before it's broken) or doesn't it have that limit like Link2SD ? (Am still hestitating to use it;
-App2SD has this note:"Move apps function may not work on your devcie as manufacture removes the function of moving apps to SD from Android system" don't know whether we have that.
-Link2SD has sort of difficult requirements before install.
-DirectoryBind; Because many issues where posted by members.

Directorybind has nothing to do with ram. You just symlink appdata from "/sdcard/android" to your external to get more internal space
Never had any problems with it and im using it on three different devices.

Got confused; I meant system ROM, since I just saw ~260MB left, but I suppose I made a mistake cause the system saves data to my internal storage too, am I right... o.0 ?
What are the differences between DirectoryBind, App MGR and Link2SD anyways?

How much space for;
FAT32 partition
Ext4 partition
Swap partition
and why on a 32GB SD card, the values.

The fat32 can be any size, this is your normal sd card data that you can use on your pc (music, videos, pics etc).
Ext4 should be however many apps sizes you want. Like if you have a lot of play store downloaded then set this as big as you think you need but save some space for linux swap.
Linux swap should be minimum 300mb (according to the guide), this is like a bit of extra ram incase your system ram gets full. Mine works fine with 800mb.
If you're looking for an example of what you could set, here :
Fat32 : 15gb
Ext4 : 15gb
Linux swap : 1gb
They could work fine is not very complicated unless I'm wrong. Study the guide well and read other people's posts on there too.

This is assuming you have 32gb sd card.

Yes 260mb is left on your system partition.
Installed apps goes to "/data" = internal storage.

Does our phone/kernel support Ext4 ?

sure it does....if u succeed in installing the Link2Sd the first option is to select ext 2,ext 3 or ext 4 to link it.....this might help on the init.d support...pretty easy actually...

1)Should I use App2SD(they changed it's name to App MIGR) or Link2SD to move apps to SD?
I've got most things covered for Link2SD but I still don't understand the init.d support; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087497)

I paid for Link2SD Pro but I've had some problems with it. When I contact the developer, Bulant, he sometimes responds but other times I get no reply.
Have you tried using both? What do you think of AppMgr? What about Link2SD?

Internal memory

Hi guys!!! Anyone can say me how much internal memory does the s3 mini has? I say internal memory for apps, the /data partition.... Thanks!!!

Here you go.
Sent from Spaceball One.

LOL! You really think that i have not searhed it?
I searched it a lot, but it only says that has 4.5 gb for the user, but i dont know if this memory is for apps installation or an internal sd!!

Ok, chewed up and ready for quick digestion:
So 8GB version is leaving you with ~4,64GB for W/E you want to put/install there.
16Gb ver. should be ~12,64GB...
It's all clear if you read the specs and know how any smartphone is working.
Even more chewed up and ready to digest faster:
That is the internal system memory available to USER. Said that, it means you can use that potion of internal memory for purposes like storage or installations. If it does not suffice, toss in a 8/16/32gb MicroSD card and store photos/videos/music there thus leaving the internal memory for installations only. Do the same for the various caches etc, and clean up from time to time.
Cheers,
Fevv.

Ok, i don't understand you, or you don't understand me....
Yes, here are the specs for the S3 mini: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i8190_galaxy_s_iii_mini-5033.php
But, here are the specs for the D3 (the phone that i have now): http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_droid_3-4036.php
If you read says that has 16 Gb internal storage.... I will bring you some caps of my phone....
Here you can see my storage memory

It has three storages.... The first is for apps installation (it's the /data partition), the second is to storage of photos, videos, etc (is the /sdcard partition), and the third is same as second (it's hte /sdcard-ext partition)
As you said, i can expand the S3 mini partition with a sd card, so i understand that you are talking about the /sdcard partition and it can be expanded with the /sdcard-ext partition, but i want to know how much is the /data partition size... If you say that i can install 4.65Gb of apk's, it's ok for me, but now i'm confused....
Here you can see the /data partition of my D3, 660Mb used, 348 Mb free, total 1Gb of internal storage for apps.... This is what i want to know...
Thanks...

But I do understand, just you pone a question in a way that seem a bit odd (NHF all the way) thinking all of them are the same when actually they're not
Your D3 is like my SGS II (My wife has a SGS III Mini) It has a dedicated system storage, then (USB) internal storage and also expandable external storage, am I right?
See this scr from my phone:
SGS III Mini has only one option available instead system and internal. It's all in one, thus you get something like this (MiscroSD is a secondary storage, and can be used as as internal memory on your D3, but not as a data partition on your D3, with an addition S III Mini can store huge potions of files/game/apk data on that one - like with huge games from the store - like your D3 is storing on SD and not EXT SD. IMHO - this is the way it should be):
and it's that proclamed 8Gb on S III Mini, or better said - what it has left in real time conditions of internal system memory so you simply have to accept the fact you can push it to that limit Simply means you have that memory to do whatever you want with it - be it apps/games or media :good:
See this scr from SGS III Mini compared to my SGS II if in need for more :

Fevv.

Thank you a lot!!!! Now i understand it!!! What you said was just what i need!!!
Solved!
