just now upgraded to 2.3.7 and its great...made the partition in advanced option..i didnt have any problems in doing that..
it all started when i tried to install a2sd...first i installed it from one of the links...
i was not able to install got the following error in recovery...
"it was necessary to remove it when upgrading to cwm 3.0 gb based recovery,please switch to edify scripting (updater-script and update binary) to create working update zip package.
Installation aborted"
installed it from other link...i was able to flash sucessfully in cwm..then i rebooted my phone.but again it didnt restart....now i dont know its working or not..take a look at the screenshots in zip file and tell me what has happened... ..i think its not workin..pleaseeeee...

It didn't restarted again means there is some problem in installing. Please read this for more info and make sure you get the exact result as mentioned there.
Few things to keep in mind...
1. [format, optional but recommended] and mount sd-ext at boot
run mount | grep sd-ext command in terminal for it.
Make sure you get this result
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /sd-ext type ext3 (rw,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1,nodelalloc,data=ordered)
If not format or repartition your sd-ext and try again.
2. mount /data and /system on CWM recovery

Well you might not get the same like yagya did : /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /sd-ext type ext3 (rw,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1,nodelalloc,data=ordered) .
The ext3 for you could be a ext4 so don't be afraid or shocked if you get other filesystem
Ok..then I will format my extra partition and try it again..and the ext partition must be formatted in recovery right? Or any specific mthd i should follow to format it...?

But, doesn't CWM recovery creates ext3 partition by default and it doesn't even provides the flexibility to change it to ext4.... unless you manually do it in other partition manger

no need to mount sd-ext, only need to mount system and data when flashing dtapps2sd, and try a2sdgui to confirm the script is working or not.
Ya its working perfectly..don't no why it didn't restart....but when tried a2sd gui and moved the apps worked perfectly...thank you all for responding...

android see its intalled in the phone memory, but technically it resides in your sd-ext.
Ya it can install the apps to sd ext automatically once you install the scripts...download dt a2sd gui from market and select dalvik cache on sd ext..that's it all your apps will be installed on the partition that you have created...

hey guys if you get following error..
"it was necessary to remove it when upgrading to cwm 3.0 gb based recovery,please switch to edify scripting (updater-script and update binary) to create working update zip package.
Installation aborted"...
i think the above error will appear if you are not using right version...
then try to download it from the following link..
http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...m/CJJ606UMY2&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13183165556861
it will work perfectly(for me it did)..
the new version cannot install in our mini
i got the same error like above
installed the beta04 version only FYI
If you are still having problem with Darktremor A2SD Script and are fed up use this alternative method to move app to sd-ext....

CM7/Zeus v7alongside any rom with GB bootloader and CM7 alongside v28a
Hi!This is my"how to" for installing two roms on one OB.
1.We need to partition sdcard
partition #1 : format it to fat(will be used as sdcard)
partition #2 : format it to ext4(will be used as system of zeus and must be at least 320 MB)
partition #3 : format it to ext4(will be used as data of zeus and must be at least 400 MB)
2.Now if u want:
1.Zeus flash this
2.cm7 flash this
(DO NOT FORGET TO PUT YOUR INTERNAL ROM`S KERNEL TO /sdcard/boot/ and name it nandboot.img!)
3.cm7 alongside v28a flash first this, then flash v28a with SFT, then root your v28a and after that put files from this bin.zip to the /system/bin
3.Now if u want to boot:
1.Zeus type in the terminal
Code:
su
bootzeus
2.cm7 type in the terminal
Code:
su
bootcm7
3.v28c ICS
Code:
su
bootsd
4.your nand rom
Code:
su
bootnand
NOTE:If u change your nand rom first install your new rom and after that copy your new rom's boot.img and put it to /sdcard/boot.img and after that rename it to nandboot.img and after all this install this if your sdrom is cm7 and if Zeus this
Now partition table is:
Code:
Zeus/CM7/v28c ICS
system /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
data /dev/block/mmcblk1p3
CM10
system /dev/block/mmcblk0p8
data /dev/block/mmcblk0p9

Even if it works you'll still be using the same kernel and ramdisk which will only work on ROM very similar to your base.

I had a look. It looks promising. Its quite a cheap trick and should work on our phone.
I am on my phone now so I can't study what he did in detail and I'm not entirely sure how he handles kernel switching (yet).
It's a good find.
EDIT: Nothing to do with kernel root or command line though.

I`ve made script for OB and it works
HTML:
cat /sdcard/boot/sdboot.img > /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
echo Rebooting to SD Rom. Please wait...
sleep 3
reboot
return 0
I have repacked zeus rom`s kernel with sd mounts and put the system partition to mmcblk1p1 but it looks like smthing goes wrong(if sdcard is inserted it reboots to recovery in a few seconds but if I remove sd card it stucks at lg logo) and it have created app, data, etc. folders on data (sd) partition

Make so that it only mount the sd partitions if the sd card is present and is made to be bootable.
Reflashing the boot.img isn't a nice way of doing it since bad flash would result in a bootloop. Linux has the ability to reload a kernel without shutting down. I don't know if the kernel that we use can do that maybe it's worth looking into.

as i said "and it have created app, data, etc. folders on data (sd) partition"
What if i will move /system #2 to /data partition and both of the systems will have data partition on sdcard?
PS. It worked!Now I have data partition on mmcblk1p2
here it is(this is kernel for cm10(26.10.2012))

Just everyone thats reading this know that it still booting from phone and then reading data from sd. (Not true dualboot yet )
@ sulley
Why not use recovery as the phone boot.img and then normal boot then goes of two sd. CWM sources are available and can be modified so that it works as a boot manager. It will then be actual dual boot because from there you can load kernel from either sd or phone (and unload the recovery kernel and with its dying breath start the new kernel ).A project like this will take A LOT of time and will definitely be more than 6 months. Since it would be based on recovery it should be able to make it work for all phones that can use CWM and have similar boot structure. I will help out on a project like this but I can't be that involved with it since my studies will take up most of my time.
As much I understand, bootloader is needed for dualboot and it applies same on Android. So you got access to our bootloader or just directing the boot.img from 1st ROM to 2nd one? Like handshaking?

Anyway i still want to make one rom at nand and anouther on sdcard, but if i set in kernel system directory to mmcblk1p1(sdcard) it starts to boot but smthing goes wrong but it starts to boot and i know it because it creates app, data, app-private etc. folders on data partition of sdcard(mmcblk1p2), i think this is because it remounts sdcard or smthing like this.Any ideas about soving this problem?
HI ! In this tutorial i am going to show ya all How to Increase the Internal Memory on SGA GT-S5830i.
This tutorial is not my work. I have taken other tutorials and made one full. As many people were a bit confused about doing this , here it is the all in one tutorial
What do you need :
- CronMod Script
- CWM
- Brain
- Latest Rafael.Baugis Kernels
CronMod Script by Styrke link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1955422
- Now download the "Cronmod Unofficial by Styrke" from the thread ( I strongly recommand it , not the other versions because it doesn't lag and GPS works )
- Place it on SD Card after 1st step [ Partition SD Card step ]
Now we are going to make a partition to the SD Card so backup all your SD Card before doing this ( It formats it )
ClockWorkMod Recovery link : http://www.mediafire.com/?a4j6zsoyaihhy60
- Place it on SD Card after 1st step [ Partition SD Card step ]
Link2SD : Link in PlayStore ( Download when it's time to download on the installation steps lol :silly: )
OK , Let's start now :
Partition SD Card :
1) Open CWM Recovery
2) Go to "Advanced"
3) Select "Partition SD Card"
4) Choose your SD-ext size (if you’re using a 2Gb SD card, choose 512Mb. If your SD card is 4Gb or greater, you can choose 1024Mb)
5) Select "0M" Swap.
6) Wait for the procces finish.
7) Reboot.
8) Now download Link2SD from Playstore.
9) Open Link2SD you will be prompted to choose between ext2, ext3, ext4 or FAT32.
10) First , Choose ext2. If it don't work then restart Link2SD and when then don't choose ext2 but ext4. ( Don't worry , it works )
11) It will say mount script created. Reboot your phone now.
12) Open link2sd and if the message doesn’t show up, you succeded.
13) Go to Link2sd>Settings>check the autolink.
14) To check your memory, select “Storage Info”. This will show you the current state of your internal memory, FAT32, and ext2 partition.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Placing the 2nd partition of SD Card to internal.
15) Now your SD Card is formated .
16) Place the CronMod Script on your SD Card ( Cronmod Unofficial file )
17) Open CWM again
18) Foramt /data /sd-ext /system
19) Mount /system
20) Flash custom rom
21) Remount /system
22) Flash "Cronmod Unofficial " script.
23) Reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Alternative mod : If you have already your custom ROM just do these easy steps :
1) Format /data /sd-ext
2) Mount /system
3) Flash "Cronmod Unofficial" script
4) Reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
NOW YOU SUCCESFULLY INCREASED YOUR INTERNAL MEMORY
How to delete 2nd partition and revert to normally :
1) Go to CWM
2) Go to Mounts and Storage
3) Choose " format /sdcard "
4) Done
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Note : Backup everything again or you will lose every app installed on 2nd Partition too.
Press Thanks if i helped you

Data2sd-ext Fixed.zip
As the other one is not there
No no ! No tool needed and what do you mean to format it ? Ah, if you mean the 2nd partion just format/wipe the /sd-ext on the mounts and storage on CWM . But it is unnessesary becouse the 2nd partition is transfered to the the internal memory.

recommend fresh rom... rom with lot of appk maybe bootloop...no need link2sd... easy way, flash rom, flash kernel(boot.img & module) mount system & flash cronmod unofficial by styrke(latest script).. done... depend of what rom, maybe no need to mount system... kernel also, no need flash if rom include lattest kernel...:silly: adios...
#remember, create partition with cwm its totally format your sdcard... before do this, save data sdcard to pc/laptop... only left behind cwm.zip... when done, move back saving data to sdcard... when all its ready, happy flashing lol...

Hey I followed your whole procedure,
but I got stocked when I wanted to apply the data2ext-fixed file
During my stock rom, I had partionated my sd-card on windows computer, not with CWM, but after I used ur guide, I partionated it again with CWM, so now it should have the structure given by CWM, right?
But here is the problem. In CWM I don't get the option "Format /data /sd-ext" there are just the following options: format "/data or /sdcard or /system or /cache" but no option "Format /data /sd-ext"
So might it be that CWM didn't apply the extention right?
When I open Link2SD it does all the things it should do, but the internal memory is rising, so maybe it is not putting the files in the right place, someone said instead of putting them to "sd-ext" it is putting them to "sdext2"
Another point: In the tutorial u mentioned after step 14)
"Placing the 2nd partition of SD Card to internal." Is that a point I have to do?
Because right now the 2nd partition is sdext2, but it is still not preventing that the internal memory is rising.
Hope u can help me to solve this problem.

LOL. Of course there is no such option like Format /data /sd-ext. What he mean is format your data and sd-ext one by one. Meaning you should format data 1st, After finished format sd-ext.
And for your second point problem, it is a title. Not a step to follow.

Ok, but in CWM there are only the options "format data" and "format sd-card" so in this case "sd-card" and "sd-ext" is the same?
Because I don't want that the ext3 which i partitioned before will be deleted and the sd-card will only consist of one partition and not "sd-card" by itself and "ext3" part on the sd-card.
If i push "format sd-card" it will not destroy the partitions which i created before?

LOL , data2ext script is only for ext2 first and you should go to mounts and systems and format /sd-ext and data as i said in the instructions . If you can't see any , buy some glasses You haven't seen correctly ! Follow d steps carefully. It's a bit complied so you should keep an eye to the thread and an eye to the phone .. And yes if you format /sdcard your partition will revert back , so you will uninstall it

And yes if you format /sdcard your partition will revert back , so you will uninstall it

Thank you for the answers.
So yeah maybe the CWM version I'm using is outdated.
So let me ask this
in this thread there are some files to root and also have CWM.
My phone is rooted, so which file (i think they should be most up-to-date CWM-files, right?) should I download and use for CWM?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551156
So another question, so you said the partition should be ext2 not ext3, otherwise the data2ext script doesn't work, right?
I think I can't see the "format sd-ext" option, because my CWM is outdated, which version should I install? Where is the link for the most current- or usable version? Should I get the ClockWorkRec_S5830C-i-M.zip from the thread mentioned above?

I got it from a german android website called: android-hilfe.de but yeah I also think that the CWM is not up-to-date.
Anyway still thanks for your help.

Yes, use CWM from rafael kernel thread..
Thanks !
Hi to all again! I've done another little mod to make our low-end device with too low internal memory (10 apps and is full!) a little bit larger.
This script is a modded d2ext wrote originally by cronmod. This init.d script mounts the /sd-ext partition as /data moving the entire partition in the sd-ext (previously created by the recovery!!).
I have to advise you that the partition MUST be more than 1GB (it moves the entire partition, so if you have it very small it's useless!!).
If you want to install/backup/restore it, you must have this recovery made by me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283641
That's because the updater-script mounts the /sd-ext and moves everything from /data leaving it totally empty.
So if you don't want to make a factory reset you have to use my recovery, sorry.
Istructions:
1) Flash the new recovery from the link above
2) Download the attachment and put it into your phone's sdcard
3) Boot into recovery
4) Wipe cache/dalvik-cache
5) Install the zip
6) Reboot into system
EDIT: The .zip provided is in test because I've already put the script in the CM zip before installing it on my phone. Tell me if it works or not and I'll make modifications.
Here's the screenshot of my phone with a "/data" partition of 2GB!!:victory:
when i partitioned my sd card in 2 GB, the 2 GB partition just disappeared, only the 12 GB was left...what to do?
and also tell me how to un-partition it.
Whoa awesome works thanks
Sorry but I made an error in the updater-script. It didn't set the right permission . Now it's correct here: www.4shared.com/zip/SkBxf9FB/Data2ext_signed.html

Hello friends,
i tried two roms for galaxy Ace, one is The Ultimatum V4 which is now i am running , and second one is Cynogenmod 10.1.6 which is awesome but very slow. The thing i noticed is , i have a partition in my sd card with ext2 format so when i use The Ultimatum V4 the ext2 is automatically detecting as internal storage like in ace we have only 200mb around as internal but it is showing the ext2 space included with that, So how can i do the same with Cynogenmod 10.1.6 so that ext2 partition can be used as internal storage, so that i can use freely the rom without any strucks.
Please say me how to use EXT2 partition of sdcard as internal memory automatically in Cynogenmod 10.1.6 .
Thanks.

Its simple actually. Just flash CronMod script (try INT2EXT+ as it is the most stable of all) from CWM. Make sure to have an ext partition of maximum size 1GB (anymore and the system will lag). Here is the link,
CronMod-INT2EXT
Hope I Helped
Thanks buddy, i m trying on i just kep 600mb as ext2, so it will solve my problem of lagging CM 10.1.6, and ext2 is best or any other format should i do..

Usually when you create a ext partition from CWM, its in ext3 format. But CronMod works well on ext2/3/4. Its upto you

Can you check if there is a file named 40int2ext in your /system/etc/init.d? Also was your ext partition in ext2 type?
There are only 00banner and 90userinit file in /system/etc/init.d location , the file 40int2ext is not ther. When i try to copy that file readonly message displaying.

It means that flashing was not successful. There are 2 ways to do it,
1. Go to CWM> Mounts & Storage> Mount /system and then flash CronMod script. Finally format /sd-ext from Mounts & Storage and reboot. If you still can't find 40int2ext in /system/etc/init.d, then use the next method.
2. Using a root file manager change the permission of /system from R to R/W. Now simple copy the 40int2ext file to /system/etc/init.d/ and change the permission to rwx-rx-x. Done! Now reboot and it should work.
Hope it works
Thanks buddy, now i got it.. thanks for ur support..

For some strange reason, I can't do this by just flashing my zip file, I had to manually copy and paste file into my system folder. Well this is the way if flashing didn't work out for you either

Oh, I had to do that? So i have to mount /sd-ext and /data, then only i format /sd-ext?

Yes, formatting /sd-ext is the last step. You should mount /system too as 40int2ext is placed inside /system/etc/init.d/.
