[HOW-TO] A2SD for Coldfusion ICS

[Guest uosiek]

Hi,

I'm using Coldfusion Alpha 3 and I was fighting for two whole days to get A2SD working. Link2SD wasn't satissfiy me. Here's my receipe:

Create file 05sdcard with content:

#!/system/bin/sh

/system/bin/mount -o remount,rw /

/system/bin/mkdir /sd-ext

/system/bin/mount -o remount,ro /

if [ -e /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 ];

then

	/system/bin/mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sd-ext

fi;

then adb remount adb push 05sdcard /etc/init.d/ adb shell chmod 0755 /etc/init.d/05sdcard Then download ICS_simple2ext.zip, unzip it to /sdcard with preserving directory structure (META-INF in .zip is /sdcard/META-INF etc) Next: adb shell And copy-paste into adb shell window:

mount -o remount,rw /system

rm /system/etc/init.d/10apps2sd

cp /sdcard/system/app/s2e.apk /system/app/

cp /sdcard/system/etc/init.d/20userinit /system/etc/init.d/

chmod 0644 /system/app/s2e.apk

chmod 0755 /system/etc/init.d/20userinit

mount -o remount,ro /system

reboot, setup s2e according to Your preferences, reboot (watch adb logcat, this boot should take longer)

If everything works go to fridge and open Cold Beer of Winner :D

Thanks for posting this. I was trying to get this to work the other day, but hadn't included the 20userinit file. The lack of S2E support was the only thing keeping me from using it, so now I can again :).

[Guest tilal6991]

Great job. Any way you could make a flashable zip?

[Guest cristi12]

Hi, total noob here... please help :)

I've tried to follow the instructions... never used adb before :)

- installed android sdk

- opened adb in a cmd window

- made a text file called "05sdcard" and pasted the first part in it.

- did

adb remount

adb push 05sdcard /etc/init.d/

adb shell chmod 0755 /etc/init.d/05sdcard

-extracted the zip file on the root of the sd card

-did

adb shell

-copy pasted the second pard in the cmd window and hit enter :D

-rebooted

-s2e is installed but doesn't see my partition ( i had an ext4 1gb part. beforehand )

-rebooted in cwm and tried to partition from there,

-s2e still doesn't see my part.

help please?

Thank You! :)

adb shell

fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0

If you tell me how, I'll try to do that :D

Basically if you have cm 9 on your computer, unzip the file and delete any lines which say format or are to do with boot.img in meta-inf/google/android/updater-script. Then get rid of all the files on the system dir and replacement them with the hierarchical equivalent of the files you are pushing. Then zip the metainf and system folder. Don't zip the root folder but the actual metainf and system folders inside.

Try this out, I'm not sure did it is exactly what should be.

[Guest cristi12]

adb shell

fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0

Thanks for the reply!

This is what i got:

Not tested it yet as I haven't had time to flash CM9 and get it all set up properly, but if anyone wants to try it, here is one with the scripts I made before but including the 20userinit file. It doesn't have S2E in it, so you'll need to install that separately.

apps2ext-cm9.zip

This worked for me! Thanks!

S3E now sees my ext partition and after reboot everything was moved there :)

EDIT:

For some reason, random apps won't install, saying "insufficient storage space"

for instance i can't install this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lsdroid.cerberus

Though it was an issue with the store so tried installing the apk manually, but still no.

Other bigger apps (Opera, etc) install ok.

Perfect for me. It's working fine. I'll keep using coldfusion.

Thank you very much!!

[Guest Markiv]

[Guest brookergray]

noob here. unable to find the .apk inside the zip...

Just tested it's in there.

[Guest Chrissyboy101]

Just tested it's in there.

I might as well join the noob fest-how do we install this thing? Extract and find it in system/app then just run it or via clockwork mod? Because neither are working for me right now!

[Guest Dazzozo]

Not sure how relevant this is to Blade users as I'm cross-posting this from the Crescent / Blade 2 forum, but here's a flashable zip of the Darktremor A2SD scripts + the mount script given earlier in this thread. Should be good for Blade use, as I've found there to be no difference in this regard.
