[Recovery] malez Recovery v0.2.1

malezRecovery_0.2.img
Here you can find my custom recovery wich works with both liquid 1.6 and liquid E 2.1 rom. It was originally base and Lickonn work.
The recovery images will not work on factory AAP, CSL or FET devices untill you do a full flash
An updgrade via acer download tools is needed. You will have to flash to an EMEA rom (thanks to Nova2.1 for his help)
Important notes to rom providers
In order to make your rom compatible with apps2sd, you need to add the lines in bold in the init.rc of your boot.img otherwise, system won't boot if apps are stored on the sd card ext partition.
chown system system /cache/recovery
chmod 0770 /cache/recovery
# APP2SD (Malez)
mount ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd/ rw
mkdir /data/misc 01771 system misc
mkdir /data/misc/hcid 0770 bluetooth bluetooth

Community rom already provides 2 scripts
/system/etc/init.d/30apps2sd
/system/xbin/apps2sd
in LCR 1.1 they failed but might do the job soon.

Initial release v0.1 :
Nandroid backup/restore only works with the acerLiquid E rom (I have tested of course) !!
Menu item explanation
- Reboot system now -> reboot in phone mode
- Apply sdcard:update.zip -> apply the update.zip file stored at root of the sdcard
- Apply any zip from sd -> apply any zip file (update format) from sd. A menu will le you choose which one
- Nandroid : backup -> perform a backup of all your system and data partition and also ext2 from sd (if exists)
- Nandroid : restore latest backup -> restore the latest made nandroid backup
- UMS on -> enable Usb Mass Storage so you can acces sd card as a usb key on you computer
- UMS off -> disable Usb Mass Storage
- Root current system -> root you system phone
- Remove root in current system -> remove root in you system phone. If an error occurs, choose install root before uninstalling it (Some roms auto root system on each startup so it might not be enough)
- Split sd for apps 2 sd -> create 2 partitions on you sd card : 500Mo ext + free left space fat). All data on sd are lost
- Move apps2sd -> move application from phone to sd card. You need compatible rom for this to work. If system don't boot after, it's not compatbile (see developper note in front of this post for info). To move apps back from sd card to phone, during boot failure, do "adb reboot recovery", then "adb shell" and "utility". Choose "Move sd card apps back to phone". Reboot
- Fix package uid mistmatches -> fixes permissions on Android data directories after upgrade
- Wipe data (factory reset) -> erase all you personnal apps and info. Sometimes needed after a system upgrade. May fix lots of instability problems. First boot takes a long time.
- Wipe dalvik-cache -> erase the dalvik-cache. First boot takes a long time.
- Copy recovery.log to sdcard. -> Copy the recovery log file to the root of your sd card so can see more detailes information.
If any of this comand failed, you can try to launch them via the utility menu. More detailed informations will be displayed.
To enter utility menu : adb shell (enter) utility (enter)

[Q] HD2 & App2SD

Hello everyone,
I've an issue and I am looking for your advise & support. I've bought HTC HD2 512 EU with the following NAND specification:
Android ver: 2.2.1
Baseband ver: 15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14
Kernel ver: 2.6.32.15-saint.J_Rev.005-g009fade-dirty [email protected] #8
Build no: Desire HD Rev.10.XU
Software no: 1.72.405.3
aMAGLDR V1.13
The Issue: I wanted to install App2SD to be able to install apps in SD Card.. I followed this thread => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926015 & followed Darktremor instructions here.. However, When I entered the MAGLDR menu /AD Recovery I found no CWM recovery mode "no boot source".. So what should I do next as Darktremor approach assumed that there is a CWM recovery mode to be able to format, partition and flash the App2SD, while I haven't!.. What should I do to make it work?
Thank you,

unzip attached file.put the folder you get to your sd card.in mgldr menu: services-boot settings-ad sd dir-find the folder and choose it. now you'll go to mgldr menu automatically now take the second choice:ad sd. so you'll go to ad recovery.(by this method you have to do all these steps each time in order to go ad recovery.so it is recommended to flash a recovery using daf and usb flasher.but this will erase your installed android rom.) and in ad recovery menu backup your current rom.because darktremors method doesn't go well with som roms.and know that it leads 2 extra reboots after you flash it.

mutil, thanks for the reply. I did as you mentioned.. got into the CWM successfully but failed to partition the SD correctly. After it said=> "Done..! partition SD successfully!" I got the screen full of errors like=>
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Falid to find "cache" partition to mount at "/cache".
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't find misc
P.S: I choose partition size of 1024mb & swap of 256mb..
Update: I ignored those errors & installed the App2SD & rebooted but didn't notice any change! The available space on the internal storage still 201mb!.. SD card now reads 14gb, previously 15gb..

download a2sdgui from market. move dalvik cache to sd.this gives you some more space.i think a2sd will work for applications you install from now on.therefore i install it just after i installed a new rom.btw 256mb swap is high. you must know that it may harm your sd (but i also use 128mb swap in spite of its risk)

Done!..
Thank you mutil...
About the swap, do you suggest me to redo the whole process again and limit the swap to maybe 128mb?.. I remember that swap partition is always double the mem size..
What is the max recommended ext partition size for the App2SD? because on the CWM you can make the partition up to 2048mb..

no just for that, it doesn't worth to redo everything.next time when you change rom you arrange it.i dont have much knowledge but the swap is said to harm sd-card.but as my experience it also improves speed.

Ext
If u want to install apps on EXT partition don't use App2SD,or A2ext use Data2ext.
Similar to a2ext, where data/app were stored inside your ext partition of the SD card, data2ext stores the whole /data inside your ext partition.
That means your internal storage will barely be used, and because nowadays some SD cards runs faster than your internal memory.
Instructions:
*This is a CyannogenMod version!Not tested on DHD Roms!
1.Make a Ext3 Partition via CWR
2. Flash data2ext_for_CM via CWR (attached) (DON'T FLASH IT ON THE FIRST BOOT OF ANY ROM!)
3. Go to your terminal emulator/adb shell to type data2ext --enable
4. Reboot
5. Go check your Ext storage via Titanium Backup(Your internal storage [220 mb~] will not be increased you must check the ext space from the Overview page of your Titanium Backup [SD card(a2sd):....mb(...mb free)])!

How to mount sd-ext?

How do we use sd-ext?
Can someone please help?
I found this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1184767
Any changes from what it says?
Can we use the 'Partition SD card' option from recovery to format to ext4?
If we can't, then what is that option used for?
Can anyone give me a link or write up a guide that explains how sd-ext should work?

1) bacukp data
2) bootmenu--> tools -->file system--> format data end cache in ext4
3)Restore data backup
