Need help with ext2 on CM7

Hi,
I successfully prepared my SD-card and rebooted the device. I was told this would take a bit longer for all the apps being moved, but it didn't.
I haven't applied any scripts from OR, because CM7 should perform the ext2 procedure automatically when booting with a prepared SD-card inserted.
But now I lost (or can't find?) my Google apps, keyboards and probably some other stuff. Looks like all the apps stored in internal memory are gone, but where, as I don't know how to get to them if they're on ext2. I don't notice any differences regarding moved apps and an operating ext2, except from that they're missing now... There's also no SD folder in System, which I think should have been created.
I can see all the apps in the installed list, but they have native Android icons, just like some shortcuts on my homescreen. Also widgets from apps installed in (former?) internal memory don't load. It looks like Android just needs to be told where they are now (just like myself ;-)
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Gerard

You should see a folder on your sd card called sd-ext and there should be 3 folders in there. Open up sd-ext/dalvik-cache and your apps should be there.

Reboot, wipe dalvik and cache, reboot and see if your app shows up.

Nope, there is no "sd-ext" folder on my SD card. There is also no "sd" folder in "system".
In OR I just ran "Scandisk ext2" from the Utility menu and wiped both Dalvik and normal caches. At least that brought back my apps, but I have no idea where they are located now: in internal memory or on ext2...

See my previous post, in Holland we say "2 souls, 1 thought"
So i wiped both caches and indeed got my apps back. I also ran that "Scandisk ext2" command, dunno what that did though.
So what I'm curious about is where I am now: back to how it was, or running ext2?

What is your internal memory? If you have Linux, check your ext partition. It should have app, app-private and dalvik-cache folders with your apps in the app folder.
You should also have those folders inside /sd-ext folder or /system/sd-ext folder, not in the sdcard.

My internal memory is approximately 17 MB up now. Is that a reasonable amount?
I don't have Linux, but Ext2explore shows this:

Yup. That's it. I forgot that in the latest CM7, kabaldan moved the dalvik-cache back to the data partition. So yes, your apps2ext is working.
But, you should have a sd-ext in your root folder for sure.

So I don't need those /system/sd-ext folders? If not and it's all okay, great!
I have a few other questions though. Will everything I install from the Market from now on be installed at ext2, even if it's apps2sd enabled? Since apps already installed on my SD-card through apps2sd have not been moved to ext2, should I leave it this way or are there any benefits moving them too? If so, how? Is it better to install apps2sd enabled apps on SD or to ext2? Is there a way to control or handle this?
I realise this is a lot to ask, but I haven't been able to find the answers yet. Links are welcome too!
Thanks again,
Gerard

Stop the presses!
Found the sd-ext folder!
Somehow I looked at the wrong level or so, sorry!
So glad it works now!
Just eager to know how to use it the best way, as my previous post shows...

Any app you install now goes into the ext folder automatically. When you delete it, it removes itself from the ext partition.
Though the app is stored on the ext partition, some internal space will be used. But you can install a lot more apps.
Regarding apps already moved using apps2sd, just move them back to the internal storage and reboot your phone. They will move to the ext folder on reboot.

This really works great. I've moved all my apps to ext2 and everything runs smoothly.
Indeed my internal memory is dropping however, because of the apps data, which is stored in the "/data/data" folder, so I've read.
I've also read this data could be moved to SD also, but I'm not considering that yet. But what to do when internal memory is running out? What's the limit for stable, smooth operarion? I have about 50 MB free now.
Thanks again,
Gerard

i am having very similar problems. using apps2ext for the first time. (latest miui by lalit)
from my understanding apps get stored on the ext partition on the sdcard.
i moved some apps - that supported it - and everything was fine (i thought)
then i wiped my fat32 (i moved all of the files to my pc) -- BUT now my phone isnt able to find the apps (on the ext partition?!) anymore...
what am i missing here?
EDIT---
i just discovered the ".android_secure" folder and moved it back to my sdcard. my apps reappeared.
so there are 3 locations i can store my apps?
1) internal
2) SD: ext
3) SD: fat
how do i tell my phone to store everything on ext? i am able to move apps from within phone-application-settings to sd-card (gets stored on fat) or move them with titanium backup (also just internal and sdcard)
when i check titanium backup it lists 3 storage locations 1) internal 2) sdcard 3) sdcard (a2sd)
miui sd-card setting (A2SD+) on the other hand says "this device does not support A2SD+)
sorry for all this confusing stuff up there. i am trying to understand this

app2ext (second ext2/3/4 partition on the SD card) is different to the native Froyo app2sd (a virtual filesystem base o files stored in .android_secure folder).
The app2ext requres a script to be executed as the Android satrts (e.g. placed into init.d) and its makes all the stuff 'invisible' for the system, it simply moves all the apps from internal storage into the ext partition and links the partition to the filesystem. Once you have it you do not need to manually move every single apps to sd.

I've created an ext2 partition and CM7 move my apps to it. But when I continue moving my apps from sd to internal (or "not SD"), my internal storage go down.
I restarted the phone but it's 18MB free yet.
Must I move some apps to SD again?
Another question: what about davilk cache? When I did this on stock rom, the script I've used move davilk-cache to ext2 too.
Thanks

Dalvik cache is not moved to ext partition in cm7.

Maybe I've writen bad my previous post.
When I move apps from SD to internal (because I want them on ext2 partition) my internal storage increase (the free space go down). So, this app2ext doesn't give me any advantage over app2sd from android.
There is a solution or workaround for this?

[Script]Cronmod Unofficial / Data2sdext *BIG UPDATE*

Hey guys.I rewrote Cronmod script to work with our ace i without gps problem or applications get forced to close.
CronMod Original thread : [SCRIPTS]CronMod-A2SD/D2EXT/INT2EXT (updated 09/19)
What it does :
It moves data/app data/local and data/dalvik-cache to sd-ext.
Data/data is moved in Data2ext version.Other files are still in internal memory.
It binds data to /internal so you can acces to app, dalvik-cache, local and data/data which are in internal memory.
Attention: It does not move the whole data to sd-ext because gps won't work.
In settings you'll see your internal memory instead of sd-ext memory.
Data2Sd-ext (Gps may not work)
Data2sd-ext by AMARULLZ mounts the sd-ext in /data and the internal memory in /sd-ext and creates some links to the folders or files which have to be in internal memory.It's fast and you can see your sd-ext memory space instead of the internal memory space.
The gps may or may not work I recommend testing gps before installing your apps.If it doesn't work do a factory reset and retest if it still doesn't work then change the script.
What you need:
A rom with ini.d support.
How to install:
Before doing anything backup your IMEI with Galaxy Toolbox App in case something happens to /efs partition.
1-Backup your apps/ contacts / data with titanium backup
2- Go to recovery
3-Make a backup in Backup and restore
4-Format /data /sd-ext /system
5-Mount /system
5-Flash your custom rom.
6-Remount /system
7-Flash your desired script.
8-Reboot
Changelog:
12/04/2013
All the scripts are updated.
07/12/2012
More stability with cronmod scripts
Cronmod Data2ext Revised 08/12.
12/11/2012
Added Data2sd-ext by AMARULLZ
29/10/2012
Small corrections in the script.
While installing, the script deletes automatically 03mountsd 11link2sd remount_fullext4 and ext4_lagfix.If you installed link2sd and applications are not showing anymore just reinstall this update.
10/26/2012
The installation now deletes 03mountdl and 11link2sd to avoid conflicts.
Script now adds applications which are in internal to ext every boot because sometimes we can find new apk files in internal/app.

IMEI?
Hi,
thank you.
I'll check this.
And what about IMEI? Because the original script makes my IMEI dissapear.
(my english sucks, sorry)
One more question (and very important): Sure this script is for s5830i/m/c ?

do you know how to restore my IMEI..?

By searching in google, I think you need a Riff box or Z3x box to repair imei or just get it back to samsung

installed and works as described, i now have room to install stuff!!!

I'm glad that you are satisfied with the script.

doesnt work for me. bootloop. i resettet my phone and try again but loop again

I will try it on MindCr Rom.

Checked MindCr Rom and the script is working No bootloop.
Do you use applications like Link2sd ? Check with root explorer /system/etc/init.d if there is a script that mounts the ext partition.

If i lost my IMEI will this be a proplem ?
Sent from my GT-S5830i using xda premium

I don't think you'll loose your imei with this script.It was AMARULLZ DATA TO SD-EXT script that corrupted peoples'phone efs partition.
But make IMEI backup with this app Galaxy Toolbox for S5830 i/C/M/ and a cmw backup to restore if you got bootloop.

A phone with a lost IMEI is not authenticated to your carrier. So, no 2G/3G networks

If the script works /data/app and /data/dalvik-cache should be linked to sd-ext.
Open Root explorer and go to /data/app you have to see your installed apps and your used / free space in sd-ext.If you see internal memory instead of the sd-ext memory then something is wrong.

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!!!

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

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....

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 :

There is no direct way to move your apps to SD card.
You need to be rooted in order to move apps to SD. Use Folder mount or similar apps to move apps to SD

Hi
Im rooted and I know about FolderMount, but that doesnt move the app. How can I really move apps to external sd?

first you should root your phone,i recommend using towelroot.
once you gain root access you should partition your sdcard and add a second primary partiton with ext4 format(set your device's usb mode to mass storage mode and connect it to pc,using minitool partiton wizard is recommended.this way you wont lose data on your sdcard)
i have created a 4gb partiton on my 32gb microsd but you can choose the right partition size according to how much data you want to move(detailed info about the process described in the Link2SD thread)
then you can install Link2SD (free) from the link below,this app can move application file,dalvik-cache and library files.internal data such as downloaded game data can be moved but you need to buy the pro version(it's better to use FolderMount for moving internal data to avoid running out of free space in your microsd's second partiton).

hello, I appreciate this, but something goes wrong with my xperia zr, I made the partition, then reboot, and start the Link2SD again, then it seems to work because it asked me to select the partition, the menu to select was like ext2, ext3, ext4, fat32, etc, then I choosed ext4.
immediately it asked to reboot, but now I have a constantly loop... do you know how can I fix this? thanks so much.

you're welcome our xperia zr does not support the Move to SD feature so when you tap an application in Link2SD and select Move to SD card you see errors.
so this is how you move apps to the second partition of your sdcard:
In Link2SD tap the application you want to move. then at the bottom of screen there is a Create Link button,tap it.
now you can choose the application items to move.you can check all of the available checkboxes or you can choose the ones you wish to move.
when you're finished click OK and Link2SD will link (or in other words move) the application files to sdcard.
if you want to unlink an application from sdcard,select Remove link in application page and Link2SD moves back the application files to internal storage of the phone.
you can always see the free space on the sdcard's second partition by taping Storage info in main window of Link2SD.
thank you bro but I don't have a PayPal account :highfive: let me know if you have any other questions

I just select all the apps and then choose "create link" when the process finished my Xperia ZR just fly! I get the speed back.
I tried to unlock other features buying the app, but it didn't unlock, I try rebooting but the app stills the same.
Thanks again for your big help ?

[Q] storage problem

I got my Sony Xperia ZR and was unable to move any of my apps to SD card. My SD card is currently working fine.THE only problem I am getting is that I the "move to sd card" button is not there. My ZR is updated into 4.4 kitkat and is rooted already. I downloaded the AppMgr III and it still doesn't work.I also tried foldermount and I can transfer apps data to sd card but after then my apps stop working and show an error message.please help if anyone knows how to fix it.

On foldermount make sure to "pin" the apps, the ?pin should be green like the screenshot:
{
"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"
}

Where can I find this menu?

It's an app called Foldermount, you can use it to "redirect" internal folders to your external SD card so you can have more space: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount&hl=es_419 It requires root

Make sure you gave the app root access. Try re-installing it from playstore.

Try the following and then use Foldermount. It will fix the issue. :good:

Thanks a lot.my phone's rebooting problem has been fixed but the moving apps to sd card didn't fix Yet.can you please tell me how to do that?

As far as I understand, the Xperia ZR does not support this. Period. Something to do with the fact that it's internal storage is actually an external that's built into the phone and emulated to act as the internal. It might even be a limitation of KitKat, but I don't think that's likely. Your best bet is Link2SD (preferrably pro) for regular apps and games, and FolderMount for apps with obb files like Injustice, Gameloft games, etc. Link2SD can be somewhat confusing though, though it's a little easier if you have some basic experience with Linux or partitioning hard disks. I understand that there are some apps that do what Link2SD does, but automates everything and keeps it simple (I think simple2ext might be an example of this, not sure though). Native app2sd and AppsMgrIII and the like are out of the question, though.

Check the following tutorial. I am using Folder mount to move obb files to Sd card. Working fine in all stock firmware.

It does support it, at least for me. Maybe because I have installed the "KitKat SD Card Full Access" module on Xposed? that and foldermount makes a great combo.

Really? Damn. Partitioned my SD card for nothing. I'm not really sure what Xposed is; I guess I'm going to go find a tutorial for it now. Thanks for the heads up.
P.S. Why would you need foldermount if you have native apps2sd? Doesn't the native move obb files?

Xposed Framework Is really useful and can be a really great complement in some roms (like the Stock one); It let you change the behavior of the system and apps without touching any APKs; so for example, I use it to force Inmersive Mode on apps that doesn't have this feature (I use it for games mostly, so I play at full screen ) and also I have the module named Kitkat SD Card full acces, that itself doesn't let me move apps to the SD, but if I understand correctly, this one let non-system apps gain acces to the SD Card (sdcard1).
I still can't move apps to the SD with that (from settings, also tried App2SD and link2sd and said that there was a problem because storage is being emulated) That's why I need to use FoulderMount and it's simple. select the source folder to mount (from Emulated/0 or sdcard0) and then thee destination folder (sdcard1/[whateverthenameofthefolderis]/) and that's it. there are tutorials (better explained) on how to use it too.

Link2sd need second partition of the sd card and I don't know how to do it.I tried so many times but it didn't work.

If you're happy using Foldermount, then I suggest you don't bother with Link2SD. Partitioning an SD card is annoying and often messy. Also, it's not very flexible. You can't use any free space in the second partition for storage, which is just wasteful. Don't get me wrong, it's a brilliant app, and a very clever workaround for the problem, but it's not a perfect solution.

Oh, I see. So there's no way to get the native, Android inbuilt app2sd? Bummer.
The Xposed framework looks very interesting, to say the least. After taking a look, I've decided to go back to stock and just use this for my tweaks and such. How long I'll keep it like that, I don't know, but I'm definitely going to try it. Thanks for explaining it to me.
