[Working] - A2SD (Apps2SD) v2.7 Update 3r1 on Aria - See Post #9

Hi Everyone,
Has anyone gotten A2SD from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670087
To work on an Aria.
Please let me know.

I would love to know too. I'm tempted to try it, worst case scenario, I have to restore a backup.

It won't work with the stock kernel. Unless you can build a kernel to support it which I do not know how to it will not work for you.

this would be great, thinking of toying around with it myself.

I just go gave it a quick run through to no avail using rom manager to format the sd card into the proper partitions and then flashing the zip file in clock work as directed. I will try it again tomorrow when I'm not so damn tired. Apparently it works on the stock sprint hero 2.1 rom so maybe I'll research more into how that was accomplished as there is no reason this method needs a specialized kernel.

I've been playing with it a little this morning. It appears it is having trouble initializing a mount point in /system/SD. I will try a symlink from /sdcard to a created sir named /syste/SD until I figure out why the userland differs so much from the other ''stock'' 2.1 roms this appears to run on.

It won't work, the stock htc kernel does not support it.

Quit being a naysayer and read the list of stock based roms that support this particular method. There are several app2sd methods and there is no reason this one shouldn't support the stock kernel unlike the cyanogen style methods. I may not be able to do it yet but I defer the possibility of figuring it out to users who may be more skilled than myself rather than regurgitating the same thing over and over without research.

I have a2sd working on attn's liberated_aria b005
step 1: download Rom Manager from the Market
step 2: select partition sd card; select whichever size ext partition you desire (you can also create larger ext partitions doing this manually on a linux box but I won't cover it.
step 3: reboot phone into clockwork recovery; select partitions menu and mount /system.
step 4 (borrowed from Semigon at SmartQ MID forums):
Create a file called install-recovery.sh at <your android SDK installation>/tools/ on your PC with this code (MAKE SURE YOU CAN SAVE IT AS UNIX, ANSI TEXT , I use TextPad to do this [or TextWrangler for OS X] ) :
*
*
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
mount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
Step 5:
Plugin your cable and connect your aria to your computer so ready to use ADB
at prompt type:
"adb push install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh" <-- push file to your aria
"adb shell" <-- shell to your phone.
*
*
Code:
* * #cd /system/etc/
* * #chmod 555 install-recovery.sh* * * * * *
* * #mkdir /system/sd
* * #mount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd* * * * *
* * #mount* * * * * * * *
( if everything is ok, you should see something like this:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd ext2 rw,errors=continue 0 0 )
now type #exit
Step 6: Test to make sure that it will be automounted after reboot.
on your PC, from command prompt you can type: "adb reboot"
Step 7: After rebooted, you can either use adb or use "Terminal Emulator" to see if your SD EXT2 partition is mounted.
Connect as in step 1)
On your PC, from command prompt: "adb shell"
# mount
"/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd ext2 rw,errors=continue 0 0" means you EXT2 partition is mounted after reboot.
Step 8: download Darktremor Apps2SD 2.7 Update 3r1 and place it at the root of your sd card.
Step 9: boot into recovery and select flash zip from sdcard
Step 10: In flash zip from sdcard, select the a2sd package file you downloaded earlier. Press home to flash; now reboot your phone
Step 11: now reconnect to your phone through adb.
#su
#a2sd install
Don't panic-- your phone will reboot as the script finishes
Step 12: adb back to your phone and type ls -l /data
You should see
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2010-07-27 14:56 app-private -> /system/sd/app-private
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2010-07-27 14:56 app -> /system/sd/app
Now check your phone storage. You should see that you have significantly more available then you did before. If you see it slowly decrease this is because the dalvik cache is still on the internal memory. This too, however, can be moved to the sd.
The following is from tkirton's main set of instructions found at hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7021325&postcount=2
If you want to move the dalvik-cache to the sd card, type:
a2sd cachesd (move dalvik to sd card)
a2sd cachepart (move dalvik to cache partition)
Now you should have even more internal space left. Enjoy.
Note: moving dalvik to sd card may produce instability in certain apps or force quits. If it isn't working for you just pull up "adb nocache" to move it back to internal storage while still installing apps to the ext partition on your sd card.

way to stick to your guns, ill try this later after i return from dinner

Please do. I'd like to know if it works for others as well. I can wait for a fully fleshed cm6 port with all working features (or a legitimate froyo for that matter), but additional space for applications is something that I desperately needed now (and now I do).

Just so happens this is the same day that CM6 from attn1 came out so i jumped the gun and ended up playing with his alpha Rom. So i have not validated this, BUT I can confirm apps2sd work on Attn1's new rom

Ha. I picked a hell of a day to try get creative. Hopefully it will be of use to someone until the cm6 build gets all its bugs ironed out.

dalvik cache issue
All of this worked fine, except for the dalvik cache part which had an error about not enough space while copying files.
How can moving dalvik cache be undone? It doesn't seem that "adb nocache" is a valid command.
Edit: Oh it should be "a2sd nocache" that seems to have fixed it

Well, I'm glad I have at least one happy customer. The cache transfered over fine for me but caused highly irregular behavior in 90% of the apps that cleared up the second I transfered it back. Could be a permissions issue or simply one that could be solved by reinstalling all your apps into the new sd environment. I'm not terribly concerned as installing the apps on the sd leaves plenty of space free for the caches to do their thing.

I am not very linux or android savy, but I will have to give this a try. It was the only thing missing from the Liberated rom. Now all is well. Thanks!
Hopefully, next we can get a Froyo w/ Sense UI! And our Arias can keep on rocking.

You may try the 2.7.5 RC1 and see if that helps the issue. There were fixes regarding copying files (permission issue...didn't tell it to retain permissions...didn't see that until 2.7.5 PF4A).
Glad to see you guys progressing on this. If someone knows the boot image base address for the Aria, I will modify a stock boot image for apps2sd.
Need any help, feel free to ask me. Any help I can give you to getting this program working on your rom I will be happy to do.

Here is a slightly modified version, mainly just changed formatting and fixed a few typos. Also my phone didn't automatically reboot after step 11. Thanks for the great guide!
Step 1: Download Rom Manager from the Market
Step 2: Select partition sd card; select whichever size ext partition you desire (you can also create larger ext partitions doing this manually on a linux box but I won't cover it.
Step 3: Reboot phone into clockwork recovery; select partitions menu and mount /system.

Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
mount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
Step 5:
Plug in your cable and connect your Aria to your computer so it is ready to use ADB. At prompt type:
Code:
adb push install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh # push file to your Aria
adb shell # shell to your Aria. Now you are at your Aria shell
Code:
Code:
cd /system/etc/
chmod 555 install-recovery.sh
mkdir /system/sd
mount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
mount
If everything is ok, you should see something like this:
Code:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd ext2 rw,errors=continue 0 0
Now type:
Code:
exit
Step 6: Test to make sure that it will be automounted after reboot. On your PC, from command prompt you can type:
Code:
adb reboot
Step 7: After rebooting, you can either use adb or use "Terminal Emulator" to see if your SD EXT2 partition is mounted.

If your EXT2 partition has been mounted after reboot you will see:
Code:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd ext2 rw,errors=continue 0 0
Step 8: Download Darktremor Apps2SD 2.7 Update 3r1 and place it in the root of your sd card.
Step 9: Boot into recovery and select "install zip from sdcard"
Step 10: Select the a2sd package file you downloaded earlier. Press power button to flash; now reboot your phone
Step 11: Now reconnect to your phone through adb:
Code:
adb shell
su
a2sd install
Don't panic-- your phone may reboot as the script finishes
Step 12: Connect with adb back to your phone:
Code:
adb shell
Then type:
Code:
ls -l /data
You should see
Code:
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2010-07-27 14:56 app-private -> /system/sd/app-private
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2010-07-27 14:56 app -> /system/sd/app

Sounds very similar to what happened for me. The script completed even with a few copy errors, but then many applications had FC after reboot. There is more than enough space from moving the apps, so it was not a big problem.

Will give the the newer version a try, by installing the new zip then running the cachesd and cachepart commands again. Thanks!

@MikeChelen Way to polish the tutorial. Looking good! I hammered that out in in only a few minutes originally after pulling together all the parts that made it tick for me. I just wanted to release it to the masses quickly to prove jznomoney wrong (am I a bad sport? Probably).
@Tkirton I will give the new version a go after lunch and see what happens. As far as the boot image address, I believe it is the same as the Legend, as almost all legend roms flash and boot successfully on the Aria. So I would give 0x12c00000 a try on Attn1's Liberated_Aria.

Haha, well I am glad you did! It meant the guide was available for me a little sooner. Score another point for stubborn resolve
It was more than clear enough for me to follow, hopefully the edits will help newer users though.
It might also be worth noting that ANSI is not an encoding itself, but a set of encodings? The normal Linux text editors seem to use US-ASCII or UTF-8 and these should probably both work.
Assuming other users don't have any problems, hope this gets added to the Aria sticky topic ^_^
Thanks again everyone!

Nice simple tut.
There is a simpler one-click auto install method, but I guess this is simple enough too

sorry for bad english
after my phone restart, it dont see sdcard, "unavailable", and it cant be seen on my computer too. I want to re-flash my phone but USB debugging not working. I ticked up it already, but my computer cant see it, I had tried factory reset but nothing happen.Does anyone can repair it?

CWM Recovery
Credits to dansh for build the first version of CWM Recovery for E405, all below versons are mine with changes
(See video tutorial if having any problem, links below)
1. Download terminal emulator from given links and install it to your E405.
(google play)-https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en
(apk)-http://www.papktop.com/android-terminal-emulator-1-0-32.html
2. Download the Recovery file from the link.
CWM (normal version for user's not using link2sd and 3 partition system)
http://www.4shared.com/file/PSf8-KOF/cwmrecovery.html?
Stock Recovery
http://www.4shared.com/file/V0-hm93J/recoverystock.html?
3. Connect your E405 to pc in mass storage mode and move/copy 'cwmrecovery.img' to Internal SD (1GB)
4. Run the Terminal Emulator (see video tutorial for ease, links below)
Now, type the following commands-
after $ type
su (press enter) (terminal'll ask for superuser permission, grant it)
you'll see this
#
now type after #
dd(single space here)if=/sdcard/cwmrecovery.img(single space here)of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 (press enter)
above command should look like this in terminal-
$ su
# dd if=/sdcard/cwmrecovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
you'll see 'some records in some records out etc etc'
press the back soft-key to exit the terminal.
you can use 'recoverystock.img' by just replacing 'cwmrecovery.img' in all commands.
You can reboot to recovery by pressing and holding volume up (or down, hard reset gone, you can use recovery to reset your phone now) when the device is powering on.
See the images to know how to make a back up using CWM Recovery.

Link2SD
1. Download and install Link2D from any given link.
2. Root your phone (if not rooted) (guide is previously posted on the page).
3. Download a Partition manager (Link given).
4. Insert your card in card reader and back up all your files to the computer because partitioning will wipe your data.
5. Open Mini Tool (partition manager's name) in your computer. Locate your SD card (be careful in choosing and make sure not to choose the drive of your computer).
6. Right click and choose Delete.
7. Again Right click and create a FAT (not fat32) PRIMARY partition and choose the smallest size possible.
8. Then create a EXT2 PRIMARY partition of 1 GB (not bigger) which will be used with Link2SD.
9. Create a FAT32 partition for the remaining space left on the SD card, by the same way you created EXT2.
10. Click the “Apply” button on the top left corner and wait for it to finish the process. Done.
11. Put back your SD card to your phone and switch it on.
12. Open Link2sd. You will be prompted to choose between ext2, ext3, ext4 and FAT32. Select ext2. (ext4 is also working in my case, try if working for u)
13. It will say mount script created. Reboot your phone now.
14. Open link2sd and if the message doesn’t show up, you succeded.
15. Go to Link2sd>Settings>check the autolink (to automatically move apps upon installation) (Optional).
16. If you already have some apps, select “move to phone” then after moving select “Create Link” (be sure to check the three files: app, dalvic-cache and library files).
Links:-
Partition manager- http://download.cnet.com/MiniTool-Partition-Wizard-Home-Edition/3000-2094_4-10962200.html
Link2SD (google play)- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD
Link2SD (APK)- http://dl.apktops.com/app/201208/Link2SD_2.2.1.apk
Note: EXT2 is old, EXT4 is the fastest among 3 (EXT2,EXT3,EXT4) but not compatible in all ROMS and often requires kernel that supports EXT4.
So you can/should try all of them and keep the best one that works with your rom.

Move All Existing Apps to the SD Card (internal sd) WITHOUT ROOTING
NOTE:don't move launchers, widgets and all the apps that you want to keep running when your phone is mounted or when you just switched it on, till external memory prepares. u can not use widgets if the are moved to sd
Tools required-
1. Drivers of your phone
2. Oracle’s Java JDK
3. Android SDk
# As in this tutorial, you have to connect your phone to pc in ‘pc software’ mode, so you have to install all the drivers in your pc, required by your phone. Look on official site of your phone to download the drivers or search for a cd/memory card in the phone box.
For LG Drivers, download and install in pc from here (around 10mb file, see image to know what to download)
Link-http://www.lg.com/in/support-mobile/lg-E405
(see bottom half of the image to know what to download)
1. Enable USB Debugging
Open the Settings screen, tap Applications, and select Development.
Tap the USB Debugging checkbox to enable it.
You may want to disable debug mode after completing this process.
#if USB Debug is grayed and u are not able to tick it, just in case, then plug your device to pc via data cable and connect in 'pc software' mode. now go to above said location in you phone and enable usb debug now.
# (If you don’t already have Oracle’s Java JDK installed on your computer, you’ll have to download and install it before installing the Android SDK ie mentioned in next step)
link for Oracle’s Java JDK-http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7u9-downloads-1859576.html
(check " Accept License Agreemen" and click "jdk-7u9-windows-i586.exe" on this page)
2. Install the Android SDK
link-http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
(click "Download the SDK for Windows")
#note the path of installation, you'll need it later OR change the location of android sdk to a simpler path like root directory (C: or D: etc) for ease.
3. After you’ve installed both, JDK first and then Android SDK,
launch the SDK Manager from your Start menu.
Click on Start-> All Programs-> Android SDK Tools-> SDK Manager
Android SDK will open.
4. Now uncheck all check boxes (if checked by default) and select "Android SDK Platform-tools" and click the Install button to download and install it.
5. After the process completes, connect your Android device to your computer with USB cable (if not connected in step 1 or removed after it, you may have to enable usb debug again, plz refer to step 1 now).
Windows should locate the device and install the appropriate drivers automatically. If it doesn’t, you may have to download and install the appropriate drivers from your Android device’s manufacturer. Do not mount the device after connecting it – just plug it in. Use "PC Software" instead.
6. Open a Windows Explorer window and navigate to the android-sdk\platform-tools folder.
On x64 Windows, you’ll find this folder at C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools by default.
Check C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools if you’re using a 32-bit version of Windows.
#This will be the path where you have Android SDK in step 2.
i've told u to note it.
now plz look where u've installed it.
7. Launch a Command Prompt window (CMD) in this folder.
For this, press and hold shift key, right or left shift doesn't matters
right click anywhere (holding the shift) in empty space and select "Open command window here".
CMD will open.
8. Now type "adb devices" and press Enter.
You should see your connected Android device.
9. Now at last, type the following and press enter to set the default install location to your SD card:
ALL THE COMMANDS ARE CASE SENSITIVE
adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2
If you want to revert this change later and install apps to the internal storage by default, run this command:
adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0
code meanings-
0-auto
1-internal storage
2-external storage
(optional)
to know where the apps will be stored now run the following command
adb shell pm getInstallLocation
the result will be 2, ie external storage.
10. Now close CMD, disconnect your Device and start moving apps to sd without root
In you device, open the Settings screen, tap Applications, and select Manage Applications. Select the app you want to move and tap the Move button on its details screen.

i've tested all of them and rotting doesn't caused any bug in my case.

Im very glad to see you support here .
I newly bought a L3 E405 dual and had some trouble with it.
1)
firstly I must thank you for your rooting method (post #1) it worked for me and I my biggest problem solved.. millions of thanks to you my bro.
2)
But after a wile I encountered another major trouble . the phone extremely rapidly get fulled (internal system usable memory is only 157 mb!!! wtf!
although i have bought and installed an external sd card it is completely useless and even using app2sd apps on market many apps leave half of size on system memory some other apps dont support app2sd feat. and in result after installing 10-15 little routine apps (not games just needed essential apps) the phone get notification of low size and hangs and stop wifi and ... I installed external sd card on this phone but it is completely useless coz even app2sd moved apps take size on internal sd card not external!!! why !!!
now how could I overcome this problem with best and simple revertable steps? I know you posted some solution before but I want to know which method you personally recommend duo to you said some method still in test mod and im noob in android & adb & programming and dont want to breik my phone.
my phone has 2 year exchanging guaranty and dont want to void it i Know I already voided it because successfully rooted it with your method before but i think I can unroot it with that button on superoneclick software again.
3)
I only rooted my phone but still having fear to instal CWM on it . is that ok also to install CWM also? I just have low system memory problem and dont want any tweaks on my phone if they aren't necessary for it. my other season of fear is I didnt find my installed firmware county code . my phone is on V10G version sw but there are many E405 V10G firmware in here I dont know which is mine . and my living country in not listed there ( how could i find my firmware locale on my E405??
and more Q
what is the difference & benefit and advantages of link2sd over app2sd apps? I mean why we must use complicated steps of link2sd (partitioning & needs roots and ... when there is simple app2sd feat of our native android phone enhanced with app2sd apps on market? I dont got that ??
in your post #7 line #3 you said :
FLASH THE ATTACHED BOOTINT.IMG
and in end of post #8 you said:
OR FLASH THE ZIP
I cant see any attached ZiP files on that posts where could I find them?
in recovery mod tweak post you said you are preparing another new version of recovery soon . is there any new news ? i m so exited approximate date of release
thank you so so much for your helps

u can use lik2sd as you are not much familiar with android. i'll recommend to mount a EXT4 partition as your /data as this is better than link2sd (my personal opinion) but link2sd is fine and simple. and mounting EXT4 as /data will also give you large space for application's data also, which is not possible with link2sd. try using link2sd, you'll get to know what i am talking about.
which country do you belong?
CWM is must. as in any case, if you are unable to boot your phone than there is only kdz method to recovery, other then restoring CWM backup. and cwm backup restoration is much easier, better and safe than using kdz. also for flashing/installing .zip, you'll need CWM Recovery.
in any case you want to go back to stock recovery, u r free to do so.
app2sd will only move your apps to internal sd but link2sd will link them on your external sd. in app2sd apps will take a small amount of storage of your system memory while in link2sd only data will remain in system memory.
sorry about the zips. zips of recovery and boot are ready and uploaded on mediafire and on my blog, will add them here if few days.

thanks for quick reply.
you helped me a lot.
idont know how to appriciate you.
I done it (link2sd tweak) . I created ext2 partition on sd with pc partition manager (step1). and then on my phone I run link2sd app and run ext2 scrip (step2). and worked good.
you mentioned I can also use ext4. you meanthat I replace any ext2 with ext4 format in step1 or step 2 only ?? or in both steps must use ext4 choice??
and what is the pros and cons of using ext4 instead of normal ext2 . and is the stock kernel support this format officially?
Im on 2.3.6 with build number GRK39F sofware version V10g 15 nov -2012 . and my country is IRAN .and my phone firmware handle persian (farsi) languge characters (not only arabic) in menu and keyboard and dont want too loose that after update or installing new firmware for this reson I need to find my own phone firmware version but in lg-phone-firmware.com there is no any iran country ?
could you please tell me what is the exact step by step method of reinstalling stock firmware after I mesed up somethig ? you said it is better and safer flash firmware with CWM but i dont know how do that . is that possible to explain more this TWO different ways separately (kdz way and recovery way) . thank a lot .

yes stock kernel support EXT4, you can replace EXT4 in every step your've done with EXT2.
how to flash kdz has been already posted. and for cwm recovery. once you are in cwm recovery, you can see backup and restore. select it to backup to external or internal sd, similarly, use it to restore an old backup.
you can make a backup of current rom, can do anything you want and if anything wrong happens, just restore your backup.

Wow!
Finally i have done it?
Now i have cwm with supported backup to external sd. + link2sd with ext4 . script.
You are my hero sudeep!
Now im waiting for more and more SIMPLE FLASHABE tweaks from you not just working with terminal command.
Maye be you release your final version of your custom rom !!
Anyway i always checks this topic and thanks so so much to you

SecGallery2_Galaxy.apk deleted from system/app.. Restore possible? [SOLVED]

Alright.. I wanted the Note 8 version of gallery and i went into system/app folder and deleted the SecGallery2_Galaxy.apk but before deleting i saw that its size was 0.00 kb lol ..
But when i tried tried to copy and pasted in the extsd it pasted and showed 13mb..
Now i deleted the file and copied the Note 8 Galley and pasted in the system/app folder only to get an error " Operation failed " and i realized only 7 mb free space is there in the partition by going into the android emulator!
Now i also found out that, full size SecGallery2_Galaxy.apk was in the preload partition and i instead of replacing that i deleted the file in system/app..
Now how do i get back that file in system/app?.. is that what they call deodexed file?.. Please help..
Thanks a lot in advance

Just copy it from other rom, that You can explore with winrar.
Sent from galaxy n7105

The actual apk was in preload and was symlinked to system partition. Thats why it showed 0 KB in system.
You can get it back by typing in shell
Code:
$ su
# ln -s "Path of apk in preload" /system/app/
And this is not called deodexing.

It says read only file system
I even changed the permission of the file in preload to 644 ( rw-r--r-- )
still the same message?.. any idea what it might be?.
Thanks in advance

use adb shell
then mount the preload partition as rw
# mount -o remount rw /preload
# mount -o remount rw /system
the use the codes written above.

Honestly i just now searched in google for adb shell and it says to run windows but when i download and double click the adb.exe it runs and exits!.. Please help..
Will mounting the preload and system in recovery and rebooting the device and running the script again in android emulator work?..

Keep in recovery and mount both.. Then run....

[ CM 11 EMMC <--> SDCARD SWITCHEROO] Modified uRamDisk

Hi everyone, I modified the stock uRamDisk for CM11 by decompressing it, editing the fstab.encore.rc file, and switching up the part with sdcard0 and sdcard1.
P.S. I removed the zram (compressed RAM) option in the fstab because the Nook Color has a crappy enough CPU as is, so it wont help with zram. Use a swap partition on SDcard if needed.
P.S.2. This ramdisk is from the most recent nightly build (Jan 11, 2015). It may or may not work with older CM11 builds.
It's attached here. It wont let me upload the file as is, so I renamed it to uRamDisk.7z; rename it back to uRamDisk. After that, follow these steps:
0. MAKE A BACKUP OF THE /boot PARTITION IN YOUR RECOVERY JUST IN CASE. If anything happens, restore the /boot partition's backup.
1. Mount /boot partition at /root (it's an unused mountpoint in Android)
adb root && adb shell
# mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /root
2. Change directory to /root, rename the original ramdisk
# cd /root && mv uRamDisk uRamdisk.orig
3. Copy over the new ramdisk
adb push uRamDisk /root/
4. Reboot and profit
The internal sdcard will now be seen as external. You no longer need to have an SD card inside to have many apps like Kodi (XBMC), Firefox, etc, asking for external SD.
If it doesn't work for you for some reason, remount the /boot partition again, and copy over the original uRamDisk ( # cp -f uRamDisk.orig uRamDisk ).
I used parts of this script to figure out how to mod the ramdisk: https://gist.github.com/aperezdc/6533546

1. Do you have adb installed for Windows? If not, do that first.
2. I don't know how to make a flashable zip. Someone else might. Anyone wanna do that? I don't have time atm since college started. Sorry for the late reply.
3. The instructions are about as simple as they get. You should study the "mount," "cp," and "mv" commands. They are, respectively, for mounting partitions, copying files/folders, and moving/renaming files/folders.
4. You can't rename the file because by default, Windows doesn't show file types' endings (like .exe, .zip, .rar, etc). You need to enable that. Google it.

hello, maybe you still have this nigtly cm11 system of 11Jan, 2015? thank's
