How do I completly clear out my ext2 partition through Terminal emulator

I had to wipe my phone and have ext2 partition on my card but when I try the copy.sh app command it works but always hangs on the flashing g1 after I reboot the phone. So this leads me to believe its because the apps are still there on the ext2 partition and need to be removed before I could do it again.

well you can try flashing LucidREM mod that has the files for mounting it located here and instead of using the copy.sh app first try this.
$su
# cd /system/sd
# ls -la
check if the app folder is there if it is than
# cd app
#ls
check if the files are there.. and if they exist than try this
# rm -rf /data/app
# ln -S /system/sd/app /data/app
# reboot
hope that helps and it u still want to wipe the ext2 parttition than jut
# rm -rf /system/sd/*
or
# rm -a /system/sd/*

I have problems when I get to ln -S /system/sd/app /data/app
it says link failed no such file exists

I kinda had the same question but was wondering if there was an easier way of wiping the ext2 partition? I'm kinda new at all this and am now starting to get the hang of flashing different roms onto my phone but I realized that doing an Alt+W before flashing new roms does not wipe the ext2 partition. (At least I'm pretty sure it doesn't.)
I'm not too savvy on using terminal yet..I've heard of using adb but I don't even know where to begin with that..so I was wondering if going into Paragon Partition Manager and just formatting the ext2 partition will work? Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Ok i finally have it working. I keep getting a social network force close.

there is an app on the market called lucid REM that runs his script via terminal emulator. after getting it and running it you can go to terminal and type
su
lucid -c (this wipes ext2/3 partition)
hopefully this helps you. if you are on a rom that uses auto a2sd then you will most likely getting force closes all over until you flash your new rom.

I posted a thread with steps to do it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533731
Code:
Open console and enter the following commands. Press "Enter" after each line. This wipes the ext partition.
mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
rm -r /system/sd/
[code]

Glad this wasnt deleted right away, maybe it can just be moved?
It helped because I also was wondering the best way of doing this, and now I know.
Thanks .

Odd, double post for no reason. Sorry delete this post?

Dalvik-cache in /cache

I've seen in some ROMs for other phones (like Cyanogen and Enomther's ROMs) that they implement a hack that moves the dalvik-cache into the /cache partition, thus freeing up a lot of space in /data (and virtually eliminating the need for a2sd). I'm wondering if anyone has thought of or knows how to do that? I think it'd be a great addition to any ROM.

adb shell
busybox cp -a /data/dalvik-cache /cache/delvik
reboot recovery
adb shell
mount cache
rm -rf /data/dalvik-cache
ln -s /cache/dalvik/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache
should work
Dont know about after reboot though.
Me personally I just moved it all to the sd ext2.
Dalvik and system apps also.

Cool! Now to make that survive a reboot, it would have to be written into the boot.img, or in a script that is called in the boot.img correct?

That I dont know. I was wondering how to utilize all the free space I have better. Just a heads up though dalvik on my system is 60megs.

Exactly why moving it to cache would be ideal, as far as my limited knowledge of this understands. That frees up about 60mb of space in /data.

Honestly, the best use for the internal memory would be to leave the dalvik cache on it. It consists of files that have already been preprocessed by the VM specifically with the intention of improving performance. Moving that from the internal memory to the slower sd card.... It ain't gonna help....
If your trying to tweak performance, you're much better off looking for other things you can move to create more space for the cache....

Isn't /cache just a separate partition in the internal memory?

I assumed he had symlinked it over to the sd card. Generally the only benefit to be gained by moving files around is by putting things on the (slow) sd card to free up the (faster) internal memory.
If that's not what we're talking about, then the end result would be exactly nill...

Actually I have seen no performance hit as I can tell by running it internally or on sd card.

That's certainly possible. Are you using the stock sd card?
I still stand behind my assertion that the dalvik cache is the wrong thing to be moving if the goal is to improve performance. (Well, unless you somehow have an sd card that operates faster than the internal memory...)
And your statement that you see no performance hit one way or the other is kind of just another way of saying what I said... The result was nill.....

Right I get your point. But now on to the better thing. Possibly moving some music files to internal since I have seen complaints of hiccups when playing tunes. I cant think of any other benefits as of yet. Was just curious as to if it could be done so I did it. I am using a class 4 card I have a 6 but it is a tad bad so it is of no use. Now as for moving the dalvik to the /cache, that seems like it would be the better idea, since i have yet to see my cache used much at all.

I haven't really monitored the usage, although it shouldn't change much.
I'm also new to Android, but I have a good number of years under my belt both adminning Linux machines and developing Java apps (amongst other things...).
I've done a bit of reading on how the Dalvik VM works, and I can confidently tell you that you want the Dalvik cache on whatever the fastest memory in your phone is. For the vast majority of people, that will be the internal memory. If you've spent a small fortune on a super-badass sd card that is faster (like that other thread where the guy bought a class 10), then moving it would be a simple matter of symlinking that directory onto the card.
As far as your concerns with stuttering music, even the dog slow sd card that comes stock with the hero is plenty fast for playing an mp3 file. If you're having trouble there, you need to take a look at what's hogging your cpu, not what's hogging your memory....

Nah wasn't meant for me with the music on SD. I rarely use it for that. But yes I do agree with you. The SD may not be best choice but there has to be a better way to utilize some of the system memory that just sits dormant.

I believe tkirton quoted you because instead of ruunning the script you could simply use the Command: a2sd cachepart

Removing apps on SD Card

I originally was using apps2sd on my DC 2.09.01 hero. I have now decided not to use it. But when I go into applications it shows all the apps that I had installed as ex: "com.jrtstudio.automont" 0 kb. How can I remove these?

reboot into recovery and wipe your cache.

1 more question...
Once you use apps2sd is there a way to transfer those apps back to your device if you decide you no longer want those apps on your SD.

I rebooted into recovery and wiped my dalvik cache and they are still there...

Still trying to figure this all out...

Just go to dc config an disable a2sd and disable dalvik cache to sd (uncheck the buttons) then save. After that reboot it should move all ur apps and cache back to internal storage memory. That's it

I did that originally and it still shows the .com files...and my apps never got moved back to the phones memory.

Type the following in ADB shell:
/system/xbin/busybox rm /data/app
/system/xbin/busybox rm /data/app-private
/system/xbin/busybox mkdir /data/app
/system/xbin/busybox mkdir /data/app-private
/system/xbin/busybox chmod 755 /data/app
/system/xbin/busybox chmod 755 /data/app-private
/system/xbin/busybox cp /system/sd/app/* /data/app
/system/xbin/busybox cp /system/sd/app-private/* /data/app-private
Now your programs should be back on the SD card.
To move dalvik-cache, while in ADB Shell, type the following commands:
/system/xbin/busybox rm /data/dalvik-cache
/system/xbin/busybox mkdir /data/dalvik-cache
/system/xbin/busybox chmod 755 /data/dalvik-cache
/system/xbin/busybox cp -f /system/sd/dalvik-cache/* /data/dalvik-cache
Now, your phone is now using internal storage. Reboot the phone to make sure the changes stay (make sure the A2SD and Dalvik-Cache to SD is off in Dconfig).
If that doesn't work, download Darktremor A2SD 2.7 Update 3. Once that is flashed and you have your phone booted, type the following in an ADB shell:
a2sd remove
That will move everything back to internal storage and sets a flag (called .noa2sd) on your SD card to prevent the data from being moved again (until you reactivate it using a2sd install)
Hope that helps.

[STOCK]INIT.D support. No need to flash anything or even reboot into recovery

So yea I've been working on a proper "app2sd" solution that doesn't involve just switching the MicroSD for the eMMC, but I like the stock rom so far, so I didn't feel like flashing a rom just to get init.d, and I didn't feel like modifying the ramdisk in the kernel either. So I cooked up this script that anyone can run from terminal to get init.d support. It should work for other devices too, as long as they run /system/etc/install-recovery.sh on boot.
There's only three requirements for it to work:
#1 You must be rooted
#2 Your device must run /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
#3 You must have busybox
I tested a few times on my own device (GT-N8013), but haven't had anyone else test it, so don't freak out if it doesn't work. Just let me know what went wrong and I'll figure something out.
Running it is very simple:
#1 Open any terminal app
#2 su
#3 navigate to the folder where you have the script
#4 sh ./enableinit.sh
Your device will be rebooted once the process is done, don't freak out. If everything went fine, you'll have a file in /sdcard called init.d.log created by the test init.d script that is made by the enabler.
You can either download the attachment (rename it to enableinit.sh if you get the attachment), or create the file with the contents betlow:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# Adds init.d support to any device that automatically runs /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
# on startup.

The point was not to have to go into recovery...
Anyway, it's really simple...
Download the attached file
open terminal
then do the following commands
Code:

cd /sdcard
sh ./Download/enableinit.sh.txt
assuming that your browser saves files to /sdcard/Download

It has nothing to do with knowing anything about computers, as you don't need a computer to do this... just your device...
Download the file, on your device, if you're using stock browser it will go to /sdcard/Download
Make sure you have busybox, download a busybox installer from the market, install it, and run it, and tell it to install busybox
Download a terminal app from the play store for free, such as android terminal emulator, install it and open it
then type in these exact commands, just like they're in here, in the terminal:
Code:
su
sh /sdcard/Download/enableinit.sh
Assuming of course, that your stuff is getting download to /sdcard/Download.
If you can't do this... sell your android device and buy an iCrap one...

I'm working on my own app2sd script that should beat anything ever made. Here's what it does:
It uses a second partition in the MicroSD card for gaining extra storage, this partition has to be formatted to ext4
#1 It mounts the external ext4 partition to a new location
#2 It detects the location for /sdcard/Android; /data/data; /data/app no matter what device you have (suppose the directories aren't the same for a certain device)
#3 It has the option to mount /sdcard/Android to a folder in the external partition
#4 It has the option to mount /data/data to a folder in the external partition
#5 It has the option to mount /data/app to a folder in the external partition
#6 It has the option to automatically copy everything from any of those folders to the appropriate folder in the external partition
#7 It has the option to automatically wipe from the internal storage anything that it moves
#8 If you have all options enabled, apps will be automatically installed to the external partition and never take any space in the internal storage, while everything else (Download/recovery/backup/pictures/videos/etc...) all remain in the internal partition.

Wow... cant wait for this script

Thanks for explaining. Interesting indeed! Will definitely wait for it eagerly!

Here's a preview of the super app2sd script I'm working on. Much of it is already implemented, should have it all in a couple of days

I have tried your script and it has successful at first.. then i flashing my note again with stock rom and i try using ur script again but now there is nothing chance.. do you know why?? what must i do now??

You know, this is the damnedest thing, but your instructions call for Busybox installation, and I can't install Busybox on my N8013. And tips you can share?

Only reason you wouldn't be able to install busybox is if you're not rooted.

Use internal sdcard as dalvik-cache

As I cannot use the internal sdcard with CM11, I've made a small script which mounts the internal sdcard as /data/dalik-cache to get more free space for apps & app-data.
WARNING: Only for users who are familiar with adb as you can probably brick your device!
Installation is a bit tricky, maybe someone makes an installer. All steps are done over adb
First format the internal sdcard with ext4: mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p23
Copy script below to /data/local/userinit.sh (e.g. adb push userinit.sh /data/local/userinit.sh)
chmod 755 /data/local/userinit.sh
Reboot and let dalvik cache recreate. After this happend, reboot into recovery, wipe dalvik-cache and enjoy the 200MB more free space in data for apps.
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
busybox mount -t ext4 -o noatime,nodiratime,nosuid,nodev /dev/block/mmcblk0p23 /data/dalvik-cache;
mountext=`busybox mount | egrep 'ext2|ext3|ext4'`;
if [ -n "$mountext" ];
then
busybox chown 1000:1000 /data/dalvik-cache;
busybox chmod 771 /data/dalvik-cache;
fi;
sync;

Awesome... I just needed it for assigning block on dalvik in my beta app. Works great!
