Install and Configure a2sdgui ROM's CyanogenMod
Hello fellow good here I leave this tutorial hos to use a2sdgui based on CyanogenMod ROMs, as these ROMs do not include this system and its installation is different from a stock rom; a2sdgui is an app that allows us to extend the internal memory the mobile to have more space to install apps, this is accomplished by configuring two aspects: SD memory partition and installing a script called darktremor a2sdgui, well initiate:
THE WHOLE PROCESS IS DONE AT YOUR OWN RISK, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKS IN MOBILE IF YOU DO EVERYTHING AS SHOWN TO WORK ALL YOU ASSURE THAT CORRECTLY
RECOMMENDED TO DO BEFORE INSTALLING THE MOBILE APPS
Requirements:
- ROM based CyanogenMod 7.1 or 7.2
- Install a2sdgui (DOWNLOAD FROM THE MARKET)
- Script darktremor a2sdgui 2.7.5.3 Beta 04 (Download)
- SD card partitioned
Instructions:
1. - Install a2sdgui
2. - MicroSD Memory Partitioning:
First download the MiniTool Partition Wizard.
http://download.cnet.com/Partition-W...=dl&tag=button
Once installed, we put our SD on the PC (with a reader, adapter or anything like that) and open the program.
If you already have some partitions it is recommended that if we start from 0 erase all as shown.

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After deleting all now begin creating them.
We give and we get this Edit menu and the first is FAT32.
We have to make FAT32 and Primary, we assign space is relative, I having 8GB (class 6) I put all but 1.5 will be for ext4 and swap.
Now for the ext4 partition, select PRIMARY. Now the partition type is relative, it is recommended that if your card is less than 6 class partition is ext2. If Class 6 or more ext4. That and I leave to your judgment, in my case I assign 1 GB will be to host the apps as if they were in the internal memory.
Now we use the remaining space for the swap partition (PRIMARY), in my case 500 Mb RAM With this more of our ACE will have 800 MB of Ram (the swap partition is a partition that is used like RAM, it is so important!)
APPLY Now we give and we get this message should accept and the thing to end as you see in the two screenshots below.
Partitions that I recommend are:
3. - Restart the phone in recovery mode
4. - Scroll to and select mounts & storage mount / data and mount / system
5. - Made the above should be unmount / data and unmount / system
6. - Now return to the main menu of recovery
7. - Enter to install zip from sdcard> choose zip from sdcard>-2.7.5.3-beta04 dtapps2sd-signed.zip
8. - Restart the phone, when you start DO NOT OPEN OR ANYTHING IN THE MOBILE, the mobile just restart again, it is NORMAL not alarmed.
9. After reboot, enter A2SDGUI. On the menu that appears in the display of APPS on SD are expected to be active and SWAP may also, in case this is not no more to give up and active. At the end of the menu is the VALUE SET 0-100, I got 100 and I gave the side.
10. - Now we turn to LowMen directly and I have chosen this, to me is the one that best suits me. The option below elijais leave more free memory, it is better but in my case having 800 mb is fine for me up there.
11. - Now let's Dalvik-Cache and choose it and click Move & Rebuild and phone will reboot.
AND THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE TO END MUCH MEMORY FREE AND ESPECIALLY A lot of RAM! ENJOY!
Link2sd is better ..and s2e is better heavenly

@tazlooney89, thanks for sharing this tutorial.
Could you please explain the difference between link2sd, s2e and app2sdgui??
there are so many methods, gets pretty confusing which to use.

I haven't used s2e, so i can't give you a description of, but i can say that the main difference between links2sd and app2sdgui is that meanwhile the first only moves the apps to the sd (even those that aren't allowed to by the os), app2sdgui "cheat" Android to "think" that it have more internal memory, but really it's just part of your sdcard.
Hope you'd understood me

Ok. Thanks. So what do you use? app2sdgui? I have used Link2Sd for a week or so now. I think it is really good. it gets the job done nicely.

I think you guys didn't understood me; I'm on the stocklite v3, and it's a custom rom with DT scripts installed. Anyway I'll take a look over that threads ;-)
EDIT:
Haha, i've messed it up!
I don't know why or how, but now i have the app2sdgui running, but....also i had runngin link2sd, and several apps linked. Now i have a lot of "andro-boxes" (linked apps that are, seems, not readable) in my phone, a sdcard partitioned and a lot of information blocked.
I'm trying to create the mount scripts on link2sd to unmake the links, and start using app2sdgui, but link2sd can't because "device or resource busy"
Good, i'm the best! XD
I can't activate de Swap.
When I pres the button to activate the swap, appears "Changing setings..." after that "Reading setings...", some buttons appears in background but after 1 sec disappear.

There are a lot of ways of moving /data to SD ext(2nd) partition. Here I'll show you an easy way to do it which is fully compatible with Samsung Galaxy ACE(and possibly other devices as well). If you don't like the method used here, try other Data2SD/ext mod which may suit your needs.
Why move dalvik-cache to RAM? Basically, the idea of moving the whole /data partition to SD ext partition is to primarily get more space for installing apps. And in this case, it does perform very well and combined with fast SD cards, it could even provide real-life performance boost. Now the downside to this, is that while most /data contents just get copied and read not that much often, dalvik-cache stores some info that needs to be read and updated very frequently. This results in a high I/O read/write frequency and thus results in shortening of the SD card life(in theory, the same could also be said when left internally but this time dealing damage to the nand disk instead). To counter this, the method I used is to move dalvik-cache to a virtual-disk like partition known as a tmpfs. tmpfs resides in RAM and has dynamic resizing structure which can allocate space depending on your needs. This way, dalvik-cache won't be using any physical disk and therefore causing damage to none. Almost too good to be true right? Well the drawback is, because tmpfs resides in RAM anything written onto it get's lost when rebooted or in-case of power loss thus resulting in loooong boot times(depending on the apps installed), as dalvik-cache contents are being rebuilt on every boot. Well I think that's enough of dalvik-cache and lets start with the mod.
WARNING
USING A NON-APP2SD / NON A2SD / NON-LINK2SD ROM OR SIMPLY UNINSTALLING NON-APP2SD / NON A2SD / NON-LINK2SD IS STRICTLY RECOMMENDED
DO NOT EVEN TRY THIS MOD IF YOU HAVE ANY FORM OF NON-APP2SD / NON A2SD / NON-LINK2SD INSTALLED
ALWAYS PERFORM A BACKUP BEFORE TRYING OUT STUFF LIKE THESE
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for anything bad happening in the world blah blah, you know the drill!
Put the files of Data2SD_for_SGA.zip inside the corresponding places on your phone manually.
system/bin/e2fsck
system/xbin/busybox_d2sd
system/etc/install-recovery.sh
--------------------------------------
Basic Requirements
1. Fresh ROM
2. Rooted
3. No A2SD, No App2SD, No Link2SD
4. SD Card Partioned to Ext2 and Fat32
5. SD Card must be original (NOT Class A) as much as possible Class 4 and up.
6. Make sure that your SD Card is partitioned accordingly. Just like how you did when using link2sd.
7. Previous link2sd users need not partition your SD Card. Just format the EXT2 partition.
Steps
1. Flash DXKC1 ROM in your phone
2. Partition your SD Card with EXT2 (first) then the remaining FAT32
3. Root your phone with SuperOneClick then reboot
4. Before inserting the SD Card remove .android_secure, Android and LOST.DIR folders. And make sure that EXT2 is clean
5. Copy the extracted Data2SD_for_SGA.zip on your SD Card
6. Install Root Explorer on your phone
7. Copy the files from the extracted Data2SD_for_SGA.zip to your phone using root explorer
system/bin/e2fsck
system/xbin/busybox_d2sd
system/etc/install-recovery.sh
8. After successfully copying the files, reboot phone.
9. Turn on phone and wait. The initialization might take some time depending on the speed of read/write of your sdcard.
10. If errors has been encountered, REPEAT THE STEPS FROM STEP 1.

Hi, it tried 3 times and it's not working for sga.
Would that work also on GingerBread? AFAIK automount scripts make SGA reboot as per Link2SD issue.
@mastrone -> Link2SD and Data2SD is a different thing.. But both won't work on Gingerbread because install-recovery.sh is quoted inside init.rc
@roninxt -> worked for me... i am using DXKC1 ROM...

I'm also using that rom. But i didn't flash to a fresh rom. I had a Link2sd installation before and i followed the steps. I also uninstalled Link2sd.
Can someone explain why do we need a fresh rom?

When you have an applications installed before putting data2sd in its place... Some or most of the application will result to FORCE CLOSE... That's the reason why it should be applied on a FRESH ROM.
I experienced it before when i got excited on applying Data2SD having 200 apps installed... The result, i got FORCE CLOSES on most of my applications.
But you can still try it out on a currently running ROM in your phone, make sure that you have no a2sd, app2sd or link2sd installed..

please specify this for GINGERBREAD or FROYO

Basically to avoid/minimize errors with conflicting mods prior to this mod. If you're an advanced user(or something like that) you probably know what you're doing already so fresh ROM install is not necessary but still recommended.
@tazz811
Nice work man, I'm assuming that the current custom ROM available for SGA does not have init.d support as of now and that's why you placed the script inside the install-recovery.sh script. Well, this might sound useless but, why not make install-recovery.sh call any scripts from init.d? Maybe something like:
Code:
list=`ls /system/etc/init.d/*`
for k in $list
do
sh $k
done
this way, you can run the data2sd script from init.d which will then make it easier to make modifications as well as allow other scripts to run on init.d.
@Ungaze... Thanks for the idea... You owe all the credits... It's me LTGB
list=`ls /system/etc/init.d/*`

No.. It's not working on a rooted Gingerbread ROM (Stock or Villain ROM). The init.rc is kinda secured even if you unquote install-recovery.sh it will revert back to the original state. Therefore install-recovery.sh will not be executed during boot time.

working on it! thanks man. TCP rules
Ok i got it to work. I have about a couple of apps installed about 10 and i was successful running the script. I uninstalled all my other apps. I didn't encounter force closes. So yes i can confirm that d2sd will work even on an existing sga rom. But you need to uninstall most apps including big ones as this might lead to a force close.
not work on my SGA,install from fresh rom dxkc1
my sd card 8 GB class 10 - make ext-2 first then fat32
following your instruction, tried almost 10 times and still not work for me....
First, I need to say that this was not made by me!, all credits go to nobodyAtall, I just changed chargemon to make it work on mini pro, all roms, Please read original post here for more info
This is the latest ClockworkMod Recovery (v.3.2.0.0) ported to work on X10 mini pro
Introduction
ClockworkMod Recovery is the default recovery option by the CyanogenMod, it has several additional features over plain old xRecovery and uses Edify exclusively:
CyanogenMod said:
Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported
Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5.
It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery.
Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Despite the non-support for Amend scripts, it's the future of Recoveries and cooks should get used to this kind of scripting when making their zips.
Update:
CWM 3.2.0.0-r3 introduces two new features that validate and restore the currently installed recovery and it's deps before reboot / shutdown. If the current recovery doesn't appear to be correct, it will prompt for a recovery restore option that at least guarantees that the phone can boot into recovery. This is NOT:
- a way to make any ROM that you installed boot
- an idiot proof mechanism (e.g. if you are prompted and omit restoring, you are on your own)
Features
ADB root shell
reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data / factory reset
wipe cache partition
install zip from sdcard
backup and restore
backup (also backs up ext partition and installed apps to sdcard)
restore (also restores ext partition and installed apps to sdcard)
restore from xRecovery (Use this in case you want to restore backups done with xRecovery)
advanced restore
mounts and storage
mount / unmount /cache
mount / unmount /data
mount / unmount /sdcard
mount / unmount /system
mount / unmount /sd-ext
mount / unmount /cache
format /cache
format /data

reboot recovery
wipe Dalvik Cache
wipe Battery Stats
report Error
key Test
partition SD Card
Ext Size (formatting as ext4)
Swap Size (Set this to 0)
Rest Size is for vfat
fix permissions
validate recovery
restore recovery
power off
Usage
When booting your phone and when the 'Sony Ericsson' letters appear, press and release continuously the 'back' button.
Once you are in the CW recovery, use the volume keys to navigate upwards / downwards, the 'home' or camera button key to select, the 'back' key to go back.
Requirements
Working on any ROM .. Unified chargemon (For stock last version supported it's 2.1.1.A.0.6!, if you have newer, downgrade, don't working for stock 1.6)
Busybox from the market
Root
Installation
Install through CWM recovery (sorry no more support for xRecovery)

ext4 should work but you wont be able to backup your SD-EXT using clockworkmod recovery.
First backup your apps using titatinum backup,boot into recovery mode=>mounts and storage=>format sd-ext.This will format your partition to ext2.
then restart and restore your apps.

First backup your apps using titatinum backup,boot into recovery mode=>mounts and storage=>format sd-ext.This will format your partition to ext2.
then restart and restore your apps.

If you made your partition using CWM then it is ext2 and not ext4 .
Please check your partition type by connecting your device to your PC and opening a partition manager which recognizes ext partitions.you will see that your SD Card is split into 2 partitions
FAT32 and EXT2.(You dont need to check if you trust my word )
You can safely use my ROM because your are using EXT2 and not EXT4.
whaaat... 1512 in quadrant... impressive

After I did that my tablet rebooted and was unable to boot. Guess it's stupid to try to convert the ext2 partition when it is in use? Well how do I do it then?

it doesnt work... my quadrant score still stuck <1000 and even worst....
High quadrant score in the screen-shots is based on high CPU and high IO score so I would guess these tweaks would be highly dependent on sd card speed to get higher scores unless there is some swapping to ram going on to "fake" these IO speeds. I've read something about that while checking out data2sd > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852219
@googlehome: What brand and type of sd card are you using ? I'm very curious because I'm looking for the best one possible for our device.

Im using a class 2 (not the best)16gb SD Card.You can create an ext3 partition with gparted from your PC.Im using ext3 currently
Thank you every much googlehome. Thank you. Thank you.
But i'm still can't play youtube HQ.
sorry for my weak english...
By the way, Wi-Fi is not working on my device with this ROM, just like it's not working with Amalgation's EUViewPad. It is, however, working with CleanViewPad ROM. I have HWVer 103.
Some of my impressions.
Wifi works on my Viewpad 7 HWV 1.03. Tle launcher is notably slower than the stock one. There is no email application and I don't know how to send and receive emails. It is not good as emails are very basic tablet function for me.
I am really courious how to "revive" icons from Dock "thrown" in the recycle bin?
Everything else is OK. One of my Quadrant scores was 1045.

}
1.reboot system now
This one is self-explanatory.
2.apply update from sdcard
This can be used for installation of any official or unofficial update, ROM, kernel, theme etc. that is in a zip format installable from recovery, as long as the file is named update.zip and it has been placed on the root of your SD card (i.e. not in any sub-folder). Selecting this option (and most of the options featured below) will bring up a rather annoying confirmation prompt but this has saved us on multiple occasions from a lot of trouble we would have been into due to accidental key presses.
3.wipe data/factory reset
This option wipes all user data on the device as well as cache. Doing this will leave your phone in the state it was in when you bought it or when any custom ROM was first installed. It will also wipe any sd-ext partition that you might have setup
4.wipe cache partition
Wipes the cache partition of the device to clear all the data accumulated there over use. This is often used before installing a new ROM, app, kernel or any similar mod via recovery.
5. install zip from sdcard
This option brings up the following sub-menu:
A. apply /sdcard/update.zip
This one is essentially the same as the ‘apply update from sdcard’ option of the main menu.
B. choose zip from sdcard
Lets you install any zip file (with any name) from any location on your SD card. The file can be for a ROM, a kernel, an application, a theme or any mod as long as it is in recovery-flashable zip format. This is the most widely used option for installing a ROM that you have downloaded and copied to your SD card. Entering this option will bring up a screen that will allow you to browse your SD card for the zip file and select it for installation
C.toggle signature verification
Turns the signature verification on and off. When signature verification is on, you will not be able to install any custom ROMs that haven’t been signed by the developers (most custom ROMs aren’t signed). Switching it off skips the signature verification check and proceeds with the installation.
D. toggle script asserts
Seldom-used option for a vast majority of users. It simply turns script asserts on or off. If you don’t know about these (i don’t), it’s best not to change this option.
E. +++++Go Back+++++
Takes you back to the main recovery menu, obviously!
6.backup and restore
Undoubtedly one of the most important features provided by a custom recovery, the backup and restore feature – also known as Nandroid backup – allows you to take a snapshot of your phone’s entire internal memory including all partitions, and save it on the SD card.
A.Backup
Takes a Nandroid backup, as explained above.
B.Restore
Lets you restore a previously taken backup. Entering this option presents you with a list of existing backups from the SD card that you can choose from for restoration.
C.Advanced Restore
This option is similar to the Restore option but once a backup has been selected to be restored, this option allows you to choose what parts of it to restore. You can choose to restore the boot, system, data, cache and sd-ext partitions
7.mounts and storage
Allows you to perform maintenance tasks on all the internal and external partitions of your android device
A. mount/unmount /system, /data, /cache, /sdcard or /sd-ext
These options let you toggle between mounting or unmounting these respective partitions. Most users don’t need to change these options.
B.format boot, system, data, cache, sdcard or sd-ext
These let you directly format any of these partitions. Take extreme care with this option as formatting any of these partitions will result in losing all data on them, especially the boot and system partitions. Formatting the system partition will remove your ROM and leave your phone without an operating system while wiping the boot partition may brick your phone unless you restore or flash another one before rebooting your device. To learn more about the contents of all these partitions, see our guide to Android partitions.
C.mount USB storage
Lets you enable USB mass storage mode for your SD card right from recovery so that you can connect it to your computer via USB and transfer any files to/from it without having to leave recovery.
8.advanced
This section contains a few options most users will not require, though these can come handy quite often, especially wiping Dalvik cache, which is required before most ROM installations. Here are the options from this section:
A.Reboot Recovery
Lets you directly and very conveniently reboot from recovery right back into recovery. This is useful option for certain back-to-back installations that require the device to at least boot once between them.
B.Wipe Dalvik Cache
Allows you to wipe the cache for the Dalvik virtual machine (the custom-built Java virtual machine for Android).This is required before most ROM installations and at other occasions too, for fixing some problems.
C.Wipe Battery Stats
Wipes the saved battery usage statistics and effectively recalibrates the battery. Useful in various scenarios when Android isn’t showing correct battery levels.
D.Report Error
In case of errors, this feature can be used to save a log of recent ClockworkMod recovery operations on the SD card that you can later report from Android using ROM Manager.
E.Key Test
Lets you press any of the hardware keys to see if they are properly functioning, and to see their key codes.
F.Partition SD Card
This option gives you a no-frills way to partition your SD card properly for use with ROMs that support data2ext (a very handy hack for low internal memory devices that enables an /sd-ext partition on the SD card to be used as the internal user data storage i.e. as the /data partition). Once this option is selected, you will be given options to choose the sizes for the /sd-ext partition as well as an optional /swap partition on the SD card, and will then automatically format it for you, leaving the remaining space for normal SD card usage. This option will wipe all data from your SD card so use it with caution!
G.Fix Permissions
Fixes the file permissions for the internal memory partitions back to default. This is very useful as a fix for several errors and Force-Closes that start appearing after you or an application you installed and provided root access end up messing up the permissions of important files.
Hope it helps :d

Ur welcome Glad to help ... N Click Thanks if you are really thankfull
well this is a guide to increase your ram capacity using a swap partition (it doesn't increase your actual Ram capacity, it just act like a virtual memory)...there are many great guides in xda i just thought of this cuz most of those guides are a lil bit complicated and outdated (using command prompt) for new users (and i'm a beginner aswell)... if your phone is kinda laggy due to heavy using this is what your looking for and make sure your kernel supports swap ..
currently swap supported kernels for Amaze:
Faux v.31
(thats according to my knowledge the stock kernels doesnt support it and if the CM kernels support it let me know i'll add it)
WARNING: there are chances that this mite degrade your sd card life
what you need:
1. a ext micro sd card class 6 or higher more than 2GB
2. following 2 apps from playstore MemoryInfo & Swapfile Check and Swapper 2 (for Root users)
3.make sure you have busy box installed
4.4ext recovery or twrp (my instructions are based on 4ext recovery)
okay lets start now..this is a step by step guide and the most easiest way..
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1st step
backup your ext memory card 1ST and then boot into 4ext recovery and go to TOOLS>>PARTITION SD CARD it'll look like the below screen shots ...skip the 1st 2 options as they're for increasing your system capacity and app sotrage (if you want you can make those partitions aswell, but they dont have to do anything with swap so i'm skippping them) so the process will look like this..i recommend using 512 cuz it use around 256mb (i used 1gig tho)

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
if everything went well your info will look like this!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 2
install the apps given above and 1st go to the MemoryInfo & Swapfile Check app and check for the swap partition status and directory it''ll look like this..
then click ram expander test and get to know your partitions and their directory name..it'll be like this
and we're interested in that partition the one called mmcblk1p2 [it mite be different if you create more partitions or else you'll have one like that the specially made partition for swap]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Final step
now go to the 2nd app we installed which is Swapper 2 (for Root users) and do not turn it on right away or else it'll make a swap file in your internal sd and make it a mess also then there will be no point for the specially made partition...so once you installed the app go to settings and,
1. tick safe unmount, safe remount and run swapper at startup options.
2. swap size: 32mb [recommended] or 256mb [my settings]
3. swappiness: 10mb [recommended] or 60 [default, i use it aswell]
and then go to advance preferences and tick the use swap partition option and then click swap partition option and name it like this using your directory, mine looks like this..
done?? okay now go to the menu and turn on the swapper app...well to check if everything went well go to the MemoryInfo & Swapfile Check app and if it shows the numbers and capacity like this your golden!!!

well this is my 1st tute also English is my 2nd language so cut me some slack haha .. i tried to keep it as much as simple so i dont think you'll need more explanation but if you have something to ask, feel free to ask after all xda is bout sharing and learning so yea :good:

Viper's free RAM only comes down to 200MB free when I last used it and before I manually debloated it and removed unnecessary apps. Thank god for AROMA. Usually Sense ROMS have 450mb when they're debloated, and Senseless ROMS have 500mb. Like all of mine. Even though I left Rosie.apk to make it feel nothing was missing.
Ravike you should start making custom ROMS once your exams are over (hope you are finding them easy). You have a sharp mind, you should compete with shubham. (He says he'll release his ROM in 1 month, too long IMO). It really isn't hard, just use Dsixda's kitchen, then go deeper like me and add AROMA. :good:

I was wondering, will this work Sensai Rom @SuperAfnan ?
I tried but the swap partition won't show up in the memory info swap check app.
Btw how does swap really work. All I understand is that it's virtual ram, but does it make the device more efficient and lagfree?

Yes it should, I don't see why not. And swap space, from my understanding, is supposed to do that. The trade off is that it takes some space from your SD. Not really a big deal if you have lots of space.
I think a quick Google search is better than asking though since I don't have unlimited knowledge.
