hi all!
i have put a script "99complete"
(
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
sync;
setprop cm.filesystem.ready 1;
sleep 500
echo 25 > /sys/devices/platform/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-005c/sensitivity
echo 25 > /sys/devices/platform/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-005c/noise
)
in /system/etc/init.d
but when i boot my phone the script doesn't start...
i have Vachounay 1.0.1 Rom and Acer Liquid S100
any suggestion?
Probably the script isn't executable. Do "chmod +x" on file

I nave already tryed it...
Did you use linux to make the scripts? Scripts don't work if made with windows (unless you use notepad++)
does sleep 500 mean 500/60 ~=8+minutes??? I wonder why u wud wait 8 minutes for executing your script...Give it a try with say sleep 250 ..Wonder if that might be it..rest appears okay to me

If you edit the script on Windows then use notepad++ and make sure you select "Unix format" under Edit -> EOL Conversion. Also, leave an empty line at the end of the file.
It could also be that whatever ROM you are using does not support init.d scripts.
Check out ScriptManager. It's a little easier way to run stuff at boot, etc..
I found it when I couldn't get my tun.ko module inserted at boot..

As some people experienced, default partinitioning of internal ROM is a bit missed than usual needs and our ZTE's still complains about disk space running out.
One of the solutions is to move /data/data to SD-ext partinition (only with A2SD enabled!)
how to do that?
Start an adb shell
Code:
rm -r /system/sd/data
cp -pr /data/data /system/sd/data
cd /data/data
now use
Code:
du -hs *
to check which directories are the biggest and contains non-critical software added by user (eg another music player or GPS navigation) and remove them to reduce disk usage (system will start to complain about disk space).
Use text editor to create a file "05data"
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# mount /system/sd/data to /data/data
if [ -d /system/sd/data ];
then
/system/xbin/mount -o bind /system/sd/data /data/data
fi
then push it to android device
Code:
adb remount
adb push path_to_file /etc/init.d/05data
adb shell chmod +x /etc/init.d/05data
Disclaimer:
I am using GSF B27 rom with A2SD, solution to symlink /data/data with /system/sd/data folder failed on my phone (bootloop) so I've created solution mentioned above. Binding than symlinking is safer, because original /data/data is a failover container for user files.
to move data to SD card it needs apps2sd text in init.rc then the bin files! ex this:
#!/system/bin/sh
# mount /system/sd/data to /data/data
if [ -d /system/sd/data ];
then
/system/xbin/mount -o bind /system/sd/data /data/data
if it have that then edit it!
and then the init files in /system/etc/init.d maybe them can edit on Linux or if can't then needs to use other program or then notepad or other programs on windows to edit init.d folder files...
then... it needs APP2SD files which works on Blade...
Now the Data(s)/APP(S) moving needs to be enabled....
If wants something else DATA to move SD Card then I don't know how... (maybe with File Explorer apps)...
Hi!
I am using GSF b27 on my Blade and because I was running out of internal memory, created a partition using clockworkmod (v5) recovery, following this tutorial:
http://android.modaco.com/topic/331205-guide-how-to-get-more-free-space-for-your-apps/
After reboot and trying to (re)install some apps, nothing changed...all my apps are still installed on my internal memory (that is full).
I checked the folder /system/sd but all the folders inside it are empty...it looks like A2SD is not running!
Isn't A2SD included in GSF27 and supposed to run automatically after a ext partition has been created?
Any help is welcome! Thanks
Tuc
A2SD is enabled after you create an ext2 partinition, right.
Now You have to copy *all* directories from /data/data to /system/sd/data
(how-to in post #1) AND delete directories of no-so-critical applications like Your another MP3 player or less played game from /data/data folder. You should have ~50MiB free on /data partiniton
Then, creating an initscript mentioned above will make an overlay of /system/sd/data folder on /data/data folder, so all needed files are on their place. Overlay instead of symlinking is better, because You have (stil aging, so old) backup of most important things, so in case of ****up You'll loose less.
Thanks for those details.
Everything went smooth until the following command:
adb shell chmod +x /etc/init.d/05data

ADB answers "Bad mode"...
I'm really not familiar with this ADB tools
EDIT: The folders in system/sd are still empty...Is there any SIMPLE solution to activate A2SD without ADB shell stuffs???! I don't mind uninstall all my apps to re-install them in this system/sd folder, I just need to know how to activate automatic installations in this folder instead of the internal memory... Thanks
Tuc
It's not about deleting apps and installing them.
It's about moving ALL data from /data/data to /system/sd/data, removing unnecessary files from /data/data (to get more free space to make android stop to complain about free space) and creating overlay from SD card on /data partiniton to make them back.
There's no directory called /system/sd/* on my LG P690. Can't I use the /sdcard/data directory or the /data/sdext2/data instead?

Blade Q Maxi aps2 sd
Hi I need help in moving apps to SD on a Blade Q Maxi phone.Tried with a terminal emulator app but no luck.Please assist.
it works on other ROMS, like TouchWiz?
I will be using this thread to post my scripts and link them to other threads as needed. For this thread, I am assuming you know what you're doing. You don't need mad hacking skills and you don't need to be an expert (I'm sure as hell not), but knowing your way around the file system and basic shell scripting are helpful.
Some background: I am using the stock ROM and kernel (SGS2 - GB27, SGS4 - MDC), so all of my tips revolve around using stock and all of my scripts (even the flashable ones) will work without flashing from recovery (just extract the script from the ZIP and execute it while the phone is in phone-mode - you know... powered on ).
You are welcome to use my scripts in your apps. I only ask that you give me some credit.
I am not responsible for bricking your phone. I have only tested my scripts on my personal Samsung Galaxy S2 and S4 from Sprint. You are welcome to try on your phone, but I offer no warranties or guarantees as to whether they will work or not. Back up your ****!
All of this requires root!
Below is a list of the scripts I have written for y'alls. Enjoy.

Use your SGS2's internal SD card for Link2SD instead of making a second partition on your external SD card (although, depending on the setup, you may still need to make a tiny partition on your external SD card) and your external SD card as your internal SD card [ Forum post ]

Delete Samsung's bloatware from the Sprint SGS2. [ Forum post | Download ]
Untested on my SGS4, but there's no reason to think that it won't work; however, it was written specifically for the SGS2's bloatware. See thread S4 System Apps Safe To Remove for a list of SGS4 bloatware apps.
Google Home Launcher (from Kit Kat).
Works on Jelly Bean.
Below are some other tweaks.
You can use custom boot animations with the stock ROM. All you need to do is swipe a "/system/bin/bootanimation" binary file from another ROM (such as @rujelus22's Blu Kuban FL24 (ICS) or Blu Kuban GB27 (JB 4.1.2)), paste it into "/system/bin", and make it executable.
For JB 4.2.2, make sure the user and group are root and shell respectively. This doesn't seem to be a problem with JB 4.1.2 and below. It's also possible that my initial testing involved a boot animation that didn't work on my SGS4, so if it works with root as both user and group, then roll with it. :good:
Also for JB 4.2.2, use the file from a JB 4.2.2 ROM, such as The Blu Kuban S4.
You can enable init.d scripts very easily by renaming "/system/bin/debuggerd" to "/system/bin/debuggerd.bin", replace it with the following, and make both files executable. If "/system/bin/debugger.bin" already exists, then edit "/system/xbin/busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d" into "/system/bin/debuggerd".
As with the above, make sure the user and group are root and shell.
Code:
[color=green]#!/system/bin/sh[/color]
LOG=/data/debuggerd.log
echo "$(date)" > $LOG
echo "init.d" >> $LOG
/system/xbin/busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d 1>>$LOG 2>>$LOG
echo "$(date) finished" >> $LOG
echo debuggerd.bin launched >> $LOG
exec /system/bin/debuggerd.bin
Below are some tips.
Most of the things you can do with a custom kernel, you can do with the stock kernel, it just requires more work and more risk.
If you replace an odexed system app with a deodexed system app, make sure you delete the app's ODEX file (it's the same file name except with the extension .odex).
Conversely: if you replace a deodexed system app with an odexed system app, you better have the ODEX file to go with it.
You can clear the dalvik-cache without a custom kernel by deleting the contents of "/data/dalvik-cache". You can even delete an individual app's dalvik-cache by finding the file "/data/dalvik-cache/[email protected]@[email protected]" or "/data/dalvik-cache/[email protected]@[email protected]" and delete it.
You can manually uninstall a system app's update by finding the file "/data/app/.apk" and delete it.
You can manually delete all user data by deleting the contents of "/data/data". You can even delete an individual app's data by finding the folder "/data/data/" and delete it.
Making scripts and binaries executable:
They must be on an EXT formatted filesystem (e.g. /data, /system, /preload).
They must be at least readable and executable by the user 'shell' (755 (read/execute for all, write only for user - "u=rwx,a=rx" if your busybox supports that method) is what I usually use).
Code:
chown root:shell ""
chmod 755 ""
chmod u=rwx,a=rx "" # busybox must support symbolic modes
Changing file permissions requires read/write access to the filesystem on which the file resides:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system # make the /system partition read/write
mount -o remount,ro /system # make the /system partition read only
The stock kernel is considered "production" whether or not it's rooted; therefore, you cannot use ADB to push or pull files directly to or from protected partitions, nor run ADB as root, nor use ADB's remount command, so you have to use unprotected partitions as a sort of buffer. You can, however, access the ADB shell and issue the "su" command wherein you can use "cp" to copy files to or from protected partitions prior to using ADB to push or pull the desired file. However, there is an app aptly named [root] adbd Insecure by @Chainfire that patches the ADB daemon to get around this limitation.
Example:
Code:
c:/android-sdk> adb shell
[email protected]:/ $ su
[email protected]:/ # cp /system/bin/debuggerd /sdcard/debuggerd
[COLOR="green"]-- open a new command prompt window --[/COLOR]
c:\android-sdk> adb pull /sdcard/debuggerd debuggerd
c:\android-sdk> adb push debuggerd /sdcard/debuggerd
[COLOR="green"]-- switch to the first command prompt window --[/color]
[email protected]:/ # mount -o remount,rw /system
[email protected]:/ # cp /sdcard/debuggerd /system/bin/debuggerd
[email protected]:/ # chown root:shell /system/bin/debuggerd
[email protected]:/ # chmod 755 /system/bin/debuggerd
[email protected]:/ # mount -o remount,ro /system
Some noteworthy files and folders:
/proc/self/mountinfo: If you can read it, it tells you where your partitions and folder binds are mounted.
/proc/partitions: Shows all of your SD card's partitions, how many blocks each has, and their vold numbers (eg "179 1 30578964 mmcnlk0p1").
/dev/block/platform/dw_mmc/by-name: This folder contains symlinks to your internal eMMC's partitions indexed by what they are for (eg UMS for your internal SD card - "realpath /dev/block/platform/dw_mmc/by-name/UMS" will print out the device path (ie "/dev/block/mmcblk0p11")).
/dev/block/platform/dw_mmc/by-num: This folder is like the previous except that they are indexed by partition number (eg "p11").
/proc/version: Shows what version of Linux is currently being used.
/data/system/batterystats.bin: Delete this when your battery is fully charged and still plugged in to recalibrate it.
Footnotes:
For "/data/app", "/data/data", and "/data/dalvik-cache" files you need to know the package name. There are various apps that will tell you, including Link2SD (mentioned above), Titanium Backup, and the web URL of the app in the Play Store (ex: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devname.appname).

Random boot sound using your notification sounds
The attached ZIP contains a script that can be run pre or post boot. It just needs to be executable.
Preboot requires init.d. See the OP for enabling it if you are on a stock rooted ROM and requires the file to be readable and executable ("chmod 755" works fine).
Postboot requires an app such as Scripter (ROM Toolbox) or Script Manager to execute the script at boot.
Requires the variable $RANDOM. You can make sure it's available from the command line ("echo $RANDOM").
Use this script at your own risk. I provide no warranties or guarantees.
What does this script do?
Check for carrier boot up sounds (sub folders in the "/system/media/audio/ui" folder) and moves them to "/system/media/audio/notifications" renaming them as needed.
Create symlinks in the above folders to "/system/media/audio/ui/PowerOn.ogg".
Check if "/system/media/audio/notifications/PowerOn.ogg" is present and copy it to "/system/media/audio/ui/PowerOn.ogg" it's not.
Count the number of files in "/system/media/audio/notifications".
Grab a random number between 1 and the number of files found inclusive (math notation: "[1, numFiles]").
Go through "/system/media/audio/notifications" and copy the file at index random to "/system/media/audio/ui/PowerOn.ogg".
Notes:
The stock file is included. If you want a different sound in its place, you can either comment out that line in the script and delete the "/system/media/audio/notifications/<subfolder>_PowerOn.ogg" files from "/system/media/audio/notifications" or just replace "/system/media/audio/notifications/PowerOn.ogg" with some other sound file and still delete the "/system/media/audio/notifications/<subfolder>_PowerOn.ogg" files from "/system/media/audio/notifications".
If you want more sounds, just copy them to "/system/media/audio/notifications" (OGG files only).
The script does not check for valid files and blindly renames the destination file to "PowerOn.ogg".
It does not look in "/sdcard/media/audio/notifications" or anywhere else for audio files.
I do not recommend using alarms or ringtones files as they are usually looped which can cause the media scanner to get stuck and overheat your phone or tablet - those files may continue to play even if you can't hear them.
If you can't hear a sound on boot, it is likely that the file is either invalid or has no audio (ex: my /system/media/audio/ui/BST/PowerOn.ogg has no audio).
It was tested and works on a Samsung Galaxy S2 (stock JB 4.1.2) and a Samsung Galaxy S4 (stock JB 4.2.2) both from Sprint and using stock kernels.
There's no obvious reason it won't work on other phones and tablets with other ROMs from other carriers.

Make ADB work for all users - Jelly Bean 4.2.2 (Updated 07/15/13 00:35 MST)
With Android 4.2.2, ADB now requires RSA keys. This poses a problem when attempting to connect to the device's ADB server from the device itself and the device won't ask for authorization unless it's connected via USB. Well, there's hope, yet.
For the following, I'm assuming you used my method for adding init.d support to your device.
Use these scripts at your own risk. I provide no warranties or guarantees.
Add the following script to /system/bin/debuggerd. If you use an alternate method, please note that it must be executed by the debugger daemon. You must do this first or you'll have to manually restart the debugger daemon after editing this file and executing the run-once script (next step), so edit this file first and save it.
Code:
if [ ! -e "/.android" ]; then
busybox mount -o rw,remount /
mkdir /.android
mount -o bind /data/.android /.android
busybox mount -o ro,remount /
fi
Then run this script once from the device (not over ADB on your PC).
Code:
[COLOR="Green"]#!/system/bin/sh[/COLOR]
HOME=/data
adb kill-server
adb start-server
stop adbd
cat /data/.android/adbkey.pub >> /data/misc/adb/adb_keys
echo "" >> /data/misc/adb/adb_keys # Add a blank line at the end of the file
start adbd
HOME=/
adb kill-server
stop debuggerd
start debuggerd
Notes:
You can also find the abdkey.pub file on your Windows' PC here, C:\Users\<user name>\.android\adbkey.pub. Copy it to your device by whatever means necessary, then append it to /data/misc/adb/adb_keys and you won't need to initially use the USB to allow the PC connection. Not really necessary unless your PC has no USB or you've broken your USB cable.
This may have inadvertently corrected the mounting issue introduced in Jelly Bean 4.2.2.
You can also allow other Android 4.2.2 devices, but it requires ADB version 1.0.31 and for you to manually append the contents of /data/.android/adbkey.pub from device A (the one you want to use to ADB on) to /data/misc/adb/adb_keys on device B (the target device).
Don't delete /data/.android
This won't fix apps. Just allow you to use ADB to connect to your device from itself.
Tested on my SGS4. No reason it won't work on other devices.
If you already have a /data/.android directory, you may not need to do this. On my SGS4, HOME defaults to "/" which the ADB daemon can't write to, so it can't make the RSA key.
The run-once script temporarily changes HOME to "/data", a writable directory, so the ADB daemon can write the RSA key then it append it to the allowed clients file then restarts the debugger daemon thus binding /data/.android to the /.android directory allowing all Linux users ADB access to the device.
Reassigning HOME to a new value on one user only changes its value for that user which is why I'm binding /data/.android to /.android.
Code:
# Example
[email protected]:/ $ echo $HOME
/
[email protected]:/ $ HOME=/data
[email protected]:/ $ echo $HOME
/data
[email protected]:/ $ su 1000
[email protected]:/ $ echo $HOME
/
Alternatively (much easier):
Make the .android folder in /data (mkdir /data/.android).
Add the script, the first code block in this post, to your debuggerd file or an init.d script.
Restart the debugger (stop debuggerd; start debuggerd) or reboot the phone.
Restart ADB (stop adbd; start adbd).
Copy the newly created public key to the allowed clients (cat /data/.android/adbkey.pub >> /data/misc/adb/adb_keys; echo "" >> /data/misc/adb/adb_keys).
Restart the ADB server (adb kill-server; adb start-server).
SGS4 Bloatware Remover
I have written a live-script to delete all of the SGS4 bloatware except GoogleContactsSycAdapter and SecLauncher3. If you want to delete those, remove the "#" from that line in the script. If you want to exclude an app, add a "#" to that line and put the app name in quotes (ie AppName / becomes "#AppName" / (including the forward slash) or just remove that line. If you remove the last item (YouTube in this case), remove the forward slash from the previous line.
Use this scripts at your own risk. I provide no warranties or guarantees.
What this script does:
Move the app's APK and ODEX to /sdcard/SystemAppsBackup.
Delete its dalvik-cache.
Reboot the phone. If it doesn't reboot, you'll have to do this yourself.
What this script does not do:
Delete the app's data. Because the script doesn't know the package name.
Delete its Play Store update (located in /data/app). Because the script doesn't know the package name.
Mount the SD card if it's not mounted. If you want backups, make sure the SD card is mounted.
Care if you delete a system app you wanted to keep. Most apps that you would want to keep may be available in the Play Store.
Restore apps.
Notes:
Apps will crash left and right when you execute this script in running mode. Don't fret, this is normal.
This is a live-script which means you have to manually execute the script either with a terminal emulator, a script executor like Scripter, or ADB.
This is not flashable.
If executing via ADB in Recovery mode, you may need to mount the SD card to /storage/sdcard0 manually or settle for no backups.
If you restore an app from /sdcard/SystemAppsBackup, make sure you get the ODEX file if present and set the permissions for both to 644.
This list is based off the list in the thread, S4 System Apps Safe To Remove.
Here You Go Guys, I took me about 30 mins, but I have successfully added all the app in the Op to a flashable Zip.
The Zip is base of TrulyClean v1.6 script code, I just deleted his ;delete/system/...apk and replaced it with all the ones from the OP

Did you install GravityBox on your SGS4 then uninstall it and now you can't hear your games or music?
I think it has to do with GravityBox's "Volume Steps" option not undoing when GB is uninstalled. This is how I fixed it (forum post).
Stock ROM - SGS4 - init.d
I recently found out that my debuggerd hack to enable init.d support on my stock SGS4 wasn't working. So, I did this and now it works.
Make a file named "install-recovery.sh" and drop it into /system/etc. Whatever script you put in here will execute at boot up so long as the user/permissions are correct.
Code:
chown shell:shell "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh"
chmod 755 "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh"
chmod u=rwx,a=rx "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh" # busybox must support symbolic modes
Use this script at your own risk. I provide no warranties or guarantees.
My "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh" script:
Code:
[COLOR="Green"]#!/system/bin/sh[/COLOR]
LOG="/data/install-recovery.log";
echo "Executing install-recovery.sh" > $LOG;
echo "" >> $LOG;
echo "$(date) install-recovery hack..." > $LOG
echo "" >> $LOG
echo "init.d" >> $LOG
[COLOR="green"]# I can't get run-parts to work for some reason, but this will run every *.sh script in /system/etc/init.d as root.[/COLOR]

done;

Mount binding (in JB 4.2.2+) seems to work. E.g. mount -o bind /folder1 /folder2
$(date) does not provide the correct date (mine said: "Wed Apr 15 13:24:13 MST 1970").
The Package Manager is not available. (There may be other unavailabilities, but I don't intend to test it thoroughly.)
Somethings I discovered recently while doing a no-data system restore for the second time in the same night and some tips relating to system restores:
* When doing a no-data restore, disabled/frozen system apps remain disabled.
* Apps that can't be disabled even with Titanium Backup will not remain disabled after a reboot and will sometimes crash/FC repeatedly until uninstalled.
* If an app won't open or FCs, try converting it to a system app and back to user app or vice versa.
* Don't integrate system app updates into the ROM. In the event that you have to do a no-data restore, those updates will be retained.
* Don't convert user apps to system apps for the same reason.
* Disregard the previous two tips if disk space is a problem. It's just more time consuming (redownloading updates, reintegrating, and reinstalling) after a restore.
* Save all modified system files, such as /system/bin/debuggerd, /system/build.prop, /system/etc/install-recovery.sh, and if your ROM uses /system/etc/unit.d, any modified or extra files there. If you use them, you'll need them after a restore.
* For a smoother post no-data restore, use Titanium Backup's labels so you can batch-uninstall those pesky system apps you don't want.

Creating directories in / and all the files contained therein must be redone on every boot. That said, you just need to make root writable and make the directory.
mount -o remount,rw /
mkdir /whatever
mount -o remount,ro /
Note: Every time you wish to create, modify, or delete files you'll have to make root writable.

You can mount only External SD to UMS after version of android 4.2.2!
Copy this lines to a file and move to /system/etc/init.d and set permission to 777 for phone starting this at boot if you use my kernel:
#!/sbin/busybox sh
BB="/sbin/busybox";
PROP="/system/bin/setprop";
MOUNT_SD_CARD()
{
$PROP persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb;
if [ -e /dev/block/vold/179:33 ]; then
echo "/dev/block/vold/179:33" > /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/android0/f_mass_storage/lun0/file;
fi;
}
MOUNT_SD_CARD;
echo "UMS enabled";

I'm in the init.d but how do I create a file?

Figured out how to create the file now when I move it to the init.d it says it's read only and cannot be moved. :S
How to change the read only so I can move the file I made to init. D?
UPDATE okay took a few apps to enable and help transfer my file..now that I have that done how do I make it start on boot each time? Never done anything like this before, sorry.
Moved here, as this does not belong in the Development Section....
[Solved] Link2sd "mount warning" fix for all samsungs and android 5.1.1+ stock ROM
Hi.
I suppose many samsung and some sony devices have the problem "mount warning" displayed by Link2sd after installing it for manage second partition on external sd card. You do not have to generate mounting scripts again and again and restart system by Link2sd's own menu option to fix this. This solution lets to mount second partition automatic in boot phase.
Thank you to Warre101 for the idea.
If you want to use Link2sd you have to have rooted device. I did it on samsung galaxy tab 4 with stock ROM 5.1.1..
The best application for make all operations is Total Commander (TC).
1. Create subdirectory su.d in directory /system where you store your script, do it in left window of TC.
/system/su.d
2. Set 700 (RWX) permision for new created directory in Propertis TC's menu option . (Long tap directory name)
3. In the right window of TC open directory : /data/data/com.buak.Link2SD/files/
4. Copy the file init-link2sd.sh from right to left window. (If this file does not exist , create your own text file and paste the content from the example)
5. Change name of this file in the left window (/system/su.d directory) to 11link2sd
6. Copy renamed file back to right window and open it in Totalcmd-Editor (installed with TC)
7. Remove not needed text , the result should be:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
sleep 4
mount -t ext2 -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /data/sdext2
8. Write changes and leave editor.
9. Copy changed file back to /system/su.d (left window). Overwrite existing file.
10. Set 700 (RWX) permision for this file . /system/su.d/11link2sd
11. Restart the device.
The new created script will mount partition needed by Link2sd for manage second partition on your external sd card during the booting phase of device/system .
This is not 100% sure if /su.d solution will work in every ROM. If you will find one not working, please comment here.

in the directory : /data/data/com.buak.Link2SD/files/ , i cannot find the file init-link2sd.sh, only 2 files "link2sd_b and link2sd.log" and link2sd_b cannot be edited. My account haven't post 10 posts yet, so i cannot upload image for you to check.
can i creat the new init-link2sd.sh and continue your intructions ?
My device: Samsung galaxy A7 2016 (android 6.0.1 Rusia)
Hi _DoomD_ .
You should see this file if you installed current version of link2sd. If this file does not exist, you can use other text file or create new and copy the content from the example. If you use windows, do not use copy/paste. Linux uses different end line char. You does not do it on Tab 4 I suppose ... no mater , it will work on others if only your system will support new created /system/su.d/ .
Please let us know if it will work in android 6.0.1 .
Bye

At step 8, i couldnot save changes. It gived me a writing error. I tried to change permission but it didnot work. I couldnot finish your intruction using totalcommand. I tried to use root explorer to edit and finished your intruction. But mount warning didnot fix.
I think your solution cannot work on android 6.0.1. Now i use apps2sd instead. Anyway, thanks for your help.
The problem with saveing exists in /system/... location. This is a reason i write abot coping renamed file back to link2sd's subdirectory and do all changes here. If your TC has root permision, it saves changes here. If this is not working, I do not know where is a source of problem.
File permision 700 lets the root do anything with file. TC with root permission uses root priv. for this operation. Maybe wrong owner of file, should be root...
A nifty thing one can do on a setup without built-in init.d, but recent SuperSU root with su.d, is to create and bind system/etc/init.d. I use a script in su.d to do this:
00000mounts:
Code:
mount -o bind,rw /su/su.d /system/etc/init.d;
In my case, I'm using systemless root, thus the '/su/su.d' location. Change it to your su.d folder location if it differs. This one line gives what amounts to standard init.d support, and any apps that create init.d scripts will see the /system/etc/init.d folder, use it, and their scripts end up in su.d and get executed on boot by SuperSU.
(And yes, this makes link2sd mounting work out of the box. Well, YMMV, but it worked for me.)
Filesystem for the second partition.
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
sleep 4
mount -t ext2 -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /data/sdext2
The important thing is that if you are using different filesystem for the second partition you should change `ext2` after `mount -t` to whatever filesystem you use. Maybe someone has posted it already but I do not have a time to check it. In my case I use `ext4` so it looks like this:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
sleep 4
mount -t ext4 -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /data/sdext2
After this change Link2SD works perfectly on my Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) aka SM-J320FN with stock Samsung ROM. Thanx.
@HostisSupremus
it has sense. I am always format it to ext2 on all my devices because of undelete support for ext2 and a lack of this support for ext4.
I found interesting fact on some of my devices . When you install link2sd, it wants to create initial script when you have to select your filesystem of second partition. I have always ext2, but some my devices works if I select ext2 and some do not. If do not, it works if I select ext4 , and it works with realy ext2 phisical partition. I do not know why .
dosent work for me, samsung galaxy tab a6 2016 android 5.1 rooted with magisk
This is what finally worked for me after three days of trying everything, thank you OP, you are my saviour
Difficult to believe after all these years of development link2sd does not verify init.d support.
I am using LOS 14.1 (Android 7.1) on my LG L70 and encounter the same mounting-failed problem.
I pull the file init-link2sd.sh out and it reads:
set +e
echo "$(date) mounting..." > $LOG
sleep 2
mount -t vfat -o rw,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=133,dmask=0002 /dev/block/vold/public:179_66 /data/sdext2 1>>$LOG 2>>$LOG
mount -t vfat -o rw,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=133,dmask=0002 /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /data/sdext2 1>>$LOG 2>>$LOG
mount >> $LOG
echo "$(date) mount finished" >> $LOG
chmod 773 /data/dalvik-cache
Is there anything wrong? Why the 2nd partition can be mounted automatically at boot?
Also if there is a problem can I edit the file then push back directly?
I tried to edit the file init-link2sd.sh and pushed it back to phone. Not working...
thanks.
perfect..
my DEVICE J320G:good:
As a magisk user, I created a mount .sh script at /sbin/.magisk/img/.core/post-fs-data.d which seems to execute at boot time but not solve the issue
