If you have root & busybox installed you can run this script.
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
busybox mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:61 /mnt/sdcard
busybox sleep 3
if busybox mount | grep vold/179:61; then
mount -o bind /data/media /storage/external_SD
rm /storage/external_SD/external_sd
chmod -R 777 /sdcard
chmod -R 777 /data/media
fi

place this file "swapint2ext.txt" on your sdcard and type the following
with a terminal emulator
Code:
su
./sdcard/swapint2ext.txt [B](if on your internal sdcard)[/B]
./sdcard/external_sd/swapint2ext.txt [B](if placed in your external sd)[/B]
with adb
Code:
adb shell
su
./sdcard/swapint2ext.txt [B](if on your internal sdcard)[/B]
./sdcard/external_sd/swapint2ext.txt [B](if placed in your external sd)[/B]
There is a lot more info on the subject in the general section. Look for the titles starting with swap internal or something similar. There are like 3 different threads on the subject. I'll send you a link later with some more info, but that will be later later

Hi,
i have "don´t permission", when i type this one in terminal emulator.
Any idea? My phone is rooted. I rename the "swapint2ext.txt in .sh", is this correct? And the path is "sdcard0", is this also correct?
And also i try to execute the "swapint2ext.sh" with the Root Explorer. Works fine, but i can´t install Fifa 14 for example. Not enough place...
Thanks Thomas

You are getting permission denied because it needs root access. Read this

It seems that nobody is talking about deodexing the Droid X2. Just thought I would let everyone know that xUltimate 2.2.8 works on the Droid X2 with the newest drivers installed. I am currently manually deodexing my root GB Droid X 2.
Some Members Might Not Wanna Take The Risk. With All The ROMs Are Already Deodexed. Me Personally I've Had That Program Downloaded Since The First Time It Was Posted And Have Used It Numerous Times. Now That You Mentioned This, You Should Go Bump That Thread.
If anyone can instruct me on how to successfully create an update zip I would gladly do it for those that don't want to take the risk of deodexing manually. But I am really shocked that a deodexed GB is not in the TBH App and no one seems to be talking about it.
I'm Gonna PM You A Few Websites To Learn How To Do It.
Am I doing something wrong? I am trying to use the adb commands to copy everything over from the done_app and the done_framework folders but it is saying: CP: /sdcard/done_app/* when I run cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app
These are the commands that I am trying:
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
reboot

You Need To Manually Transfer Them Over USB First. Both App And Frame Place Them On Your SD Card.
They are both on my sd card. Actually they are on the external sdcard and the internal sdcard. That is what seems so weird about the error. The files are there. Is the command wrong for the Droid X 2?

When You Did "su", Did You Grant The Superuser Request On The Phone?
Yeah. You have to do that initially to be able to use the mount command. Is the mount command my issue by chance?

There's Nothing Wrong With Your Code As Long As The Two Folders Are On The Root Of The SD Card. I Have No Idea What Is Wrong When The Information You Provided Is What You're Actually Doing.
I can't figure it out either. I did this to my Droid X with no problems. But the Droid X 2 just wants to be a pain when I am trying it.

So I finally got everything to work but to do so I had to copy the done_app and the done_frame folders to /data/local/tmp then run the cp commands.
For some reason, I could not get to the SD Card or the External SDCard.
you both need to quit hijacking threads and grow up. If I was the mod I would ban both of you.

Well I am suprised to report that since deodexing my stock pre-rooted GB, my battery life has been much better. Will have to see what it is like at the end of the day.

Oh God Yes. It's Gonna Faster And Smoother. The Point Of Deodexing Is It Recompiles The Odex Inside The Apk For Easier Themeing And The System Is Able To Read The Apks Faster. Definitely Gonna Help Battery If The System Isn't Working As Hard.
when you connect USB, you MUST be in "charge only" mode w/ usb debugging enabled. ANY OTHER MODE will fail to allow complete access to /sdcard or /sdcard-ext...
or at least that was my experience.
I'll Challenge That I Used PC Mode To Run The Deodex App And Then To Transfer The Completed Files Without Switching Modes. Anytime I Run ADB Operations My Phone Is In PC Mode.
I will check both settings today. But by mounting the partition, it should become available either way. But we will see.
Important away from a computer for a few days and was wondering if there's a way to flash CWM recovery without a pc or any previous versions of CWM installed. I had the CWM at some point and now when i boot into recovery i have the stock Samsung recovery and can't flash anything......

I believe you can flash the img from terminal
Yes.
Assuming you're rooted, you should be able to move it to the right partition with a terminal emulator on your phone.

typically it would go like this
assuming you have the recovery image in the root directory of the sdcard
open the terminal app
$
type 'su'
you should get the # prompt
then
# cd sdcard
# flash_image recovery recovery_image_name
give that a try

There are a couple commands you can run:
cat /proc/mtd
That will give you the mount points if you have a mtd device. If it says not found then you know your device isn't using mtd.
Another command to find the mount points is:
mount
You can also do:
dev/block/platform
Then:
ls
Then cd into the folder for the processor kind. For example on the US version of the Galaxy S3 it's msm_sdcc.1. Then cd into the "by-name" directory and then type ls -l to list the partitions and there mount points. Let me know if you still have questions .

Please cd into the by-name directory rather then by-num then run ls -la from that directory.

In addition to what demkantor said you can also boot your device into recovery mode, wipe your devices cache, then reboot the phone which should create a last_log file that should contain the partition names, this file can be read by running the following command:
Code:
cat /cache/recovery/last_log

The path to your boot partition is:
Code:
/dev/bootimg
The path to your recovery partition is:
Code:
/dev/recovery
If you wanted to dump these partitions you could run the commands from terminal emulator or adb shell as root:
Code:
cat /dev/bootimg > /mnt/sdcard/boot.img
cat /dev/recovery > /mnt/sdcard/recovery.img

Check your tablet screen after entering the su command, there should be a window asking you to grant root access. Give root access and you should be able to continue with the remount command.
