A2SD+ and CM7/MIUI

So I've been searching online and I couldn't get any straight answer. Everyone else would rather talk about themes and status bar instead of functionality and performance.
So I just realized that my fascinate, running on MIUI FascinateMTD 1.7.15, doesn't support A2SD+ according to the SD card section on my ROM. I've formatted and partitioned my SDcard (EXT size 1024mb / swap size 256mb) and after rebooting the phone doesn't see or detect the EXT partition. So I ODIN'd my phone back to EB01. Then wipe data/cach/dalvik and re-flashed MIUI FascinateMTD 1.7.15. Then using the blue CWM, I reformatted and repartitioned the SDcard with the same EXT/swap size, then rebooted my phone. Same result. My phone doesn't recognize the EXT partition and it still said that it doesn't support A2SD+ . I tried using S2E and DarkTremor's a2sd but nothing worked.
What gives? Can ANYONE provide some guidance on this?

If I can find an old sdcard to use, I'll look I to it. When you said you formatted to ext, how did you format it? From Linux? Windows 3rd party partition program? Cwm recovery? Etc. Ext2, 3, 4?
You also mentioned functionality and performance, what performance increase you expecting to gain by going a2sd? I ask because there shouldn't be an increase by going a2sd. As for functionality, it should be the same unless you need over 1.5gb for apps which is your internal storage size.
But I don't mind trying to figure it out if I can find an old sdcard.

Uh you'd lose performance if you do A2SD because your internal flash speed is a lot faster.

Functionality being able to move some of the apps (that I don't use every day but will need in the future) over to the SD card freeing up more internal memory (performance).
I used the blue CWM recovery v4.0.0.9 that came with the MIUI Rom and the red CWM recover v2.5.1.x to format and partition the SDcard. I do plan on getting a class 4 SDcard this weekend as soon as I get my paycheck.

Been moving apparently to my class 10 d card with appadmin pro(in the market) for a while now. Is this what you guys are talking about?

Mine also states this, I had started another thread a few days ago.
I took all the steps you are, I finally gave up on what the settings say, I remember reading somewhere that the cm7 port doesn't currently support the sd ext partition, (maybe I dreamt this).
However I was able to move apps to my sd card.

If you get the error about not having enough free space, uninstall and reinstall the app.
I'll also note I believe I first got this error after wiping data and installing miui, then restoring from a miui backup. prior to then I could move apps just fine, however the reason I wiped data was because I got stuck in a boot loop when flashing an update so it could of been the update as well.

At one point, when I was on MIUI 1.7.8, it was still letting me move some apps to the SDcard. However, when I went to Manage Application and onto the "On SD card" tab and selected an app that was supposedly on the SDcard, the MOVE to SD card button is still active (not grayed out) as if it had never been moved in the first place.

I guess I look at that tab as a poor
choice of words, to me it implies these apps "can" be moved to the sd card, the check mark tells you whether it is actually there or not.

Moving your apps to the SD card will not help with performance. The 1.5GB that apps are stored on is used only for apps. If anything, your phone will be slower when using the apps on your SD card.

I installed an app called Link2SD last night. It was able to detect the 2nd partition, mount it, and make the OS mount it at boot time. It can be formatted as ext2, 3, 4, or even fat32. What it does is it creates a link for apk, dex, and lib files of apps and moves it to the SDcard. So far its serving the purpose. I noticed that the latency isn't bad at all when opening apps from the SDcard. Takes a few seconds longer at most. It will get better when I get a class 4 micro SDcard this weekend. I want to allocate more internal space for frequently used apps, I'm an apps hog so my phone isn't going to perform as I expected it to if it isn't able to hold more apps that I want.

Ok so you want more space for the apps you use frequently so they load faster off of internal memory. That makes sense. I really don't believe that you have over 1.5GB of apps but I suppose its possible.

[SD SOFTMOD] [A500/G100W] swap internal 16GB memory with 32GB external sdcard

Tested and working on HC321 and ICS403
In this tutorial I will discribe a way to ‘upgrade’ your internal 16GB memory to 32GB, not by soldering a new memory module to the internals of the device but by the means of a ‘softmod’. This method involves changing some system files and is completly done through CWM and is totally reversable. This is the second version of the softmod and is much safer than the first one.
Someone mentioned another thread in the A100 section, and asked me if my way was the same as that one. I checked it out and seemed that all the system changes were done through scripting. The thread author had actually used the recovery killer script that Acer loads at every boot to our advantage. He wrote a damm nice script for doing the right mounts and unmounts at boottime.
The original thread can be found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20907592
Anyway, I have adapted that script a bit so it can be flashed through CWM, added my own script to it which loads your internal SD in ‘mnt/internal_sd’ and added a modified ‘vold.fstab’ file for removing the ‘detach button’ from the storage info page.
CONS :
-if you use a slow 32GB micoSD card you might experience some speed loss
-by doing this mod, as it involves changing system files, there is always the possibility of ending up with a bricked device, you fully agree to the fact that when your device gets bricked in the process, you and only you are responsible for that !
PROS :
-you will have upgraded your internal memory capacity to 32GB
-you now have high speed access to this 'new 32GB internal' sdcard if inserted in a computer for backups or filling the card up with pictures, music, movies, documents, gamefiles, etc..
-CWM is not affected by this softmod. As a mather of fact if you select the option 'switch to internal storage' in CWM you can actually make use of your internal GB’s for storing CWM FULL backups of your device.
NEEDED :
-32GB sdcard
-CWM must be installed on your tablet
HOW IT'S DONE :
-format the 32GB sdcard to fat32 on your computer
-insert the newly formatted sdcard in your tablet
-reboot or start your tablet in CWM
-flash the ‘CWM - ROMUPDATER [sdsoftmod enable].zip’ through CWM
-reboot
illustration 1
after reboot your storage info should look like this :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
REVERSING THE PROCESS :
-reboot or start your tablet in CWM
-flash the ‘CWM - ROMUPDATER [sdsoftmod disable].zip’ through CWM
-reboot
After rebooting you are back where you were before this mod, with all your files still on the 16GB internal memory. (as they were before this mod)
If you like the mod and want to keep using it, you might wanna transfer all your old folders and files from the ‘/mnt/internal_sd’ to the new ‘/mnt/sdcard’
FINAL WORD :
-Its best not to remove the 32GB sdcard for backup purposes or whatever when the tablet is running. I advise to shutdown the tablet first, then removing the sdcard, do your stuf, reinsert in the tablet en only then fire the tablet up.
Good luck !

just a question, how will the cw recovery act. since it will before boot will the recovery just look for the actual sdcard?

CWM stays unaffected, even more so, you can now use the 'lost' gigs on the internal 16gig for storing your CWM full backups. More info on this in the first post.

Is this only for 32 GB Sd card ore als for 16, 8 GB
Is this much faster then normal use of the sd card

Oeps, i see its not smart to go from 16 internal to less.

This method can be used with SD cards of any size, only when your internal memory is 16GB I wouldn't see why you would swap that with a 8GB external SD card, or a SD card of the same size. There's nothing to gain. When you do this mod on the other hand with a 32GB or a 64GB SD card you gain space.
Look at it as if you bought the cheaper 16GB model and upgrade it to a 32GB or a 64GB model, not by soldering in another memory module but the easy way with this softmod.
As for the speed it will be limited by the speed of the SD card. This may vary from SD to SD, faster SDs tend to be more expensive. The card I have used is slightly slower then the internal memory, but it is not an issue.

Hi, is this the same a100 mod with apply on boot? Or have you made some new changes to it. My only concern was the OS might create some file/directories in internal memory before your mod executes.
Thanks

I don't know about the 'apply on boot' mod, this is just a tuto I composed from scratch based on my findings when doing this to my own tablet.
If you want to go in detail about what happens : all of the stuff is done @ boot time, and because its based on setting a mount point, that would be done before the os starts writing stuff down. As for the affected partitions by doing this mod, it only affects the '/data/media' partition wich is mounted by default in 'mnt/sdcard'. This mod just disables the system from doing that and instead mounts your complete external SD to that mount point. After the mod the old files are stille accesable by browsing with your root explorer to /data/media.
Btw : I wouldn't recommend doing this mod on any other device than the A500/G100W as the program that does all the work, was specificly written FOR the A500/G100W !

Tutorial updated to v1.2
All needed files are in the attached zip (first post in this thread), including an easy readable pdf with word accentuation on the hard parts of the tutorial.

The title says 64G. I think SDHC is up to 32G. The 64G should be SDXC.
Does the Acer Iconia A500 really support SDXC?
Anybody tried a 64G SD?
Thanks!

I don't have ics, so i can't realy test that. I think that the mount (read swap) is done at login time, thats when you see the superuser has granted acces message. Then again android could be supressing these messages until userlogin. Who will tell?

I'm just mounting manually at boot before the internal sdcard script runs. Working great! Only issue is storage crashes in settings. Must be an ics issue.

First post updated, all is done through CWM now. Safer way of doing things ...

I dont know for sure as mine is the 16GB model, but if its Iconia A500 or Packardbell G100W, it should work without a glitch. I would say, test it out and if it does Ill add 8GB to the thread title.

I have an 8GB A500 that is running Thor ROM vs12 and when I tried flashing the zip file it aborted the installation. Do you know if I needed to wipe the system before installing?

Thats odd. An abort during flash sounds like your recovery is not able to execute the commands during flash. You could have a number of problems there. What recovery version are you using (here it's thor v1.6), also is the downloaded zip in a good condition?

Triple Boot WP7+SD+NativeSD EXT4 @ 1 SD with pictures

Lets try to triple Boot our HD2's with WIN7 + SD + Native SD via Magldr, although I got mine working OK, i'm not entirely sure if this is viable to all. please see last part.
I assume you already have Magldr in your HD2 & its either running WP7 or Andy in NAND or already dual Boots.
If not flash WP7 first in NAND by trying to follow this, WP7 is always in NAND **Anything you have in NAND/ SD will be deleted including CWM**
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25781675#post25781675
after that is done the partitioning begins
1 FAT32 Partition
1 EXT4 Partition
1 WP7 Partition
MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition (MTPW) using this to do those above.
Be very careful when using the minitool partition as you can accidentally format/ delete your Hard Disk Partition.
i'll be using a 16g card & after flashing WP7 it uses the SD Card as it's own storage using it's own format similar to a RAID setup making it like an Internal storage & what's left is usually 200mb of free space. We need to take back some of that space! :cyclops:
A - Set Magldr > Service > Boot Setting > Always Menu
After you reboot & setup WP7 go to:
••settings > about > reset your phone > YES! > phone re-boots

since you set A your still in magldr (don't let it boot to WP7 - yet), remove the card, put it in your PC & run MTPW
you will see something like this
right click on the larger (other)(14.64GB) partition & choose delete
right click on the larger (now unallocated)(14.64GB) partition & choose create partition as "Logical" with "Unformatted" file system.
Slide the tab to the Right leaving a partition slightly larger than 1/2 the SD card that was shown in MTPW
Make sure the "Unallocated Space After : is ZERO 0
after pressing OK something like below will show
Noticed that the "Unformatted" is larger than the "Unallocated" partition
click "Apply" & wait for it to finish.
••Close MTPW > insert SD card to HD2 > Boot WPH
WP7 will continue to boot & do the usual setup stuff
settings > about > to see if the partition has changed.
Turn OFF the phone, take out the SD card & plug it in the PC then run MTPW
the "Unformatted" before now becomes "other" to MTPW which WP7 formatted for it's own use.
right click on the 200MB "other" partition & delete it!
noticed that it combined with the "unallocated" partition & now we have just 2 partitions
right click on the "unallocated" partition
Create As > Primary > FAT32
slide the Tab to the Left for the EXT4 partition, i choose around 2g
when you press OK, an allocated space will be there
right click on the "unallocated" partition
Create As > Primary > EXT4
right click on the "Other" partition
Modify > Set partition as Primary
Now we have 3 Primary Partitions, click Apply & when all is done your ready to go!
copy all the necessary files you need to the SD & see if WP7 boots First, see more on NativeSD+EXT4 below

Hey man , thanks for tutorial.
I'm using WP7 on my tmous hd2 for long time.
Today i decided to try dual boot native sd and wp7 , and i was searching all day how to do it.
However i accidently did what you wrote there , formatted my main hard disk!
And now trying to recover my partition
I'll try dual boot with that tutorial tomorrow.

YIKES!!!
that's what I was afraid of, that's why I made BIG & Clear, well actually it happened to me once a long long time ago
Anyways there are powerful partition recovery out there, I hope you get it back.

Man this is a pretty good guide, it is also needed to as Native SD is still new to the HD2. I am glad to see you can use 4EXT with the HD2 now as I feel it is truly the best custom recovery out at the current time. I absolutely love the 4EXT recovery Control app, it is the paid version but you can also get the 4EXT Updater app which is free but not all the features are available in it. I am going to suggest this guide for the Portal as it proves you can multiboot OS using Native SD. Thanks for taking time to write this up mengfei.

thanks Man!
I just extended the dual boot of WP+SD to include EXT4 & i hope it's helpful to those that want to have as much option as they can have. I now have like 10 roms just in case one goes bonkers, what a Paranoid hehehe :cyclops:
BTW here's Xylograph's reply to the error I was getting.

Hi mengfei, do you expierence poor speed performance on android with triple boot? I installed NexusHD2 rom with nativesd and, I must say, it is painfully slow and barely usable. Even downloading something to the card is slow. I have no speed problem with wp7. I have a transcend 8gb class 6 with this partition layout: 2,5Gb Fat32, 1,5 EXT4, 3gb for wp7. Is there something I can check or I can do to improve my android installation or the speed of sdcard?

@serverless
no problem with my 16g Sandisk Class 10, just flashed JB AOKP's latest & it's buttery smooth.
I had problems with a 4g Sandisk which i think had a problem or is fake even when running normal SD Rom's & my Class 10 16g Transcent is not compatible with WP7 - it wont detect it.
if you can try another Card or reformat the card, give it shot.

Yes, it is very good. though I now feel that I need to change my SD card. I have an 8 GB Class 2 SD card (the main culprit for slow speed) and now I am thinking to buy a 16/32 GB SD card but confuse with the class. I know Android write data on non-sequential manner but which one would be better? I am thinking of buying either Class 4, 6 and 10 SD card.

Because Class 2 and 4 have better random access speed than an Class 6 or Class 10! Class 2 or 4 was the better choice for an OS, Class 6 or 10 was the better choice for big datas like movies or pictures, because they have a cache! This cache (Class 6/10) must always rebuild and this make it very slow for random access.

By the way , i took back all my files which i formatted that day with partition recovery wizard :highfive:
Then i followed your steps and flashed wp7 and android. Everything is working perfectly in spite of using 16gb class 2 sandisk.
Today i bought a 16gb class 10 sandisk mobile ultra which is specially for android devices (thats what they said) and will flash android again.

I have question regarding the used radio when dual booting wph7 and android (native sd). Currently I use radio 2.15.50.14, as I did with android on NAND. Now I read that in wph7 it's recommended to use radio 5.51T. Is that even possible?
I'm sorry if that's the wrong thread or a stupid question.

@soulforger
good to know you got your files back! :highfive:
let us know how it goes with those cards.
@derschnelle
2.15.50.14 is good for all, once you flash this radio from the start you can leave it alone with WP7 or Andy. One Radio to rule them all :cyclops:

Hello mengfei,
Thank you a lot for your excellent tutorial. It's I've been looking for.
Would you Please let me know how to install native SD Android ROM on such prepared SD (WP7 delletes CMR I use to install zip ROMs from SD) or maybe you can address my question to developer who knows ?
Thank you once again and regards,
=======================================
Hello again,
I've read your tutorial again, carefully and came to conclusion that my request is senseless, everything is described. So, I'll try to install WP7 on NAND and AD on nativeSD.
Thanks again,

Hi,
I have followed the tutorial but my nativesdrom (evoHD2v10final) can't find the FAT32 partition. So i can't use the storage.
i have 3 partitions: FAT32 + EXT4 + unformatted( wp7)
Does any has the problem?
Thanks in advance

mkfs.vfat /dev/sdx
where /dev/sdx is your sdcard

I asked the following here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36302906#post36302906, but I thought I'd also ask here...
just occurred to me, how come you can make edits to the system via adb or cwm without causing a restore but if you make changes any other way it causes a restore? would it be possible to upload a edited kernel to trick the system to load a build of CM10 off the internal storage?

Questions from a Noob...
Hello all,
I just picked up a Nook HD yesterday, and hoped to install CM10 on it.
Using the sdcard installer found here, I got CM10 running on my Nook HD!
Unfortunately, I have been noticing some weird things and have a few questions.
1. When I reboot, I don't see the Cyanoboot screen like in this video; It takes me straight to a blank screen (which I think means that it's trying to play the bootanimation, but it doesn't/can't) and then a fully black screen, where I can then hit the Power button or Nook button and see CM10 in all its glory. Any tips?
2. When creating the sdcard for install, I was originally planning on using the CWM bootable image and then manually flashing the ROM and Gapps zips through the recovery, but there wasn't enough space on the partition. I am probably missing something here...
3. If I take the sdcard out, does it boot to the B&N Android on the internal memory?
4. Is it possible to install CM10 to the internal memory?
5. Where do CWM backups get stored by default; on the internal or external sdcard memory?
I am pretty familiar with Android and root on quite a few devices, but the nook is one of the most complex for me to wrap my head around.
Thank you very much and keep up the good work! CM10 is quick and awesome on the HD!

1. I have the exact same behavior but quickly learned to ignore it as I don't reboot often.
3. Yes. Easy to check for you.
4. Not yet AFAIK.

Cool. Thanks for the quick reply! If you have the same issue with Cyanoboot, then I'm not too worried. I just thought it might me the nook (or me )...
But that was the biggest of my worries. Thanks for clearing that up.

Corrupt SD Card?
I've been using verygreen's SD card image to run CM10.1 on my HD+ for the past month.
I haven't had any real problems until the latest update (12/31). Apparently my SD card is now corrupt. Problems started when my HD+ rebooted on it's own and booted into stock ROM. Restarting didn't help. I had to physically pull the SD card out of the slot, plug it back in and then reboot my HD+. Booted back into CM10.1, but when I was reading a PDF, my HD+ froze and now will no longer boot into CM10.1 no matter what I do. I didn't want to wipe my SD and start over just yet.
Didn't know if this was a problem with the latest update or maybe my SD card is taking a dump after working great the past month.

This is the HD thread. You would get a better response if you posted to verygreen's CM10 HD+ thread. And you are running CM10, not CM10.1.

You are correct, it's CM10. My mistake.
But, I'm not allowed to post in verygreen's thread. Guess I didn't realize this was an HD only thread.

It doesn't matter how the changes to /system are made; all that matters is what the changes are. If an unrecognized file is present (or a stock file is replaced by a different file), the Nook will go into its reboot loop. But if a new symlink or new directory is present (or if a stock file is replaced by a symlink or a directory), the Nook will ignore it. This is true even if the changes were made by adb or CWM.
Yes, in theory it is possible to install a modified version of CM10 that will run off the internal storage. But nobody has created such a version yet. It's even possible in theory to install a modified boot image that will run the stock B&N system image without looking for changed files, but nobody has done this either.

Update version of CM10 possible?
I want to say first- THANK YOU! I love CM10 on my Nook HD.
I'm running the version from 12/28.
I want to update to a newer release.
I've read the edits to the 12/28 install but I'm still not quite sure- do I modify the installer image with the new hummingbird, and do a fresh install?
Or can I just use CWM?
Will either method leave the CM10SDCARD partition intact? If not, is there a way (currently available or in the future) to preserve that partition?
Thanks!

Nook HD noob
OK, it seems that I have no clue on how to dual boot via microSD card to my just purchased Nook HD. (not a HD+)
I am running windows8. The Nook HD is unfortunately V2.0.5 and I have never dealt with rooting androids or putting .img on SD cards. SD card is a Kingston 8GB microSD HC class4 SDC4/8GB. I am good with computers and I like to hack into gaming systems. I read what I could but it seems that I can’t get the nook to boot off of the microSD card. How exactly do you do a warm boot/reboot?
Is there a Nook DH dual boot for dummies or can you explain step by step to someone that has never done this before? I am so lost……terminology and all.:crying:

I think this is the thread you want: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2063968
Scroll down to where it says 'CM10 sdcard Installer'
If you can get that image (not just a drag-'n-drop) onto an sd card, then just boot up the nook and it will install CM on the sd card.

Copy the newly downloaded zip to CM10SDCARD, boot to CWM and then select the file for the update. That's it.

I used win32diskimager-binary to write the cm10-sdcard-installer.img to my SD card with no luck once SD card was placed into the nook HD and cold booted. Keeps booting in the nook OS.

Sometimes when you rewrite stuff on a card it doesn't work. Try reformatting the card using the SD formatter at sdcard.org
Then, after you've reformatted the card, try reburning the img to the card.

[ROM][AOSP][Port] UnOfficial-BAKED (Blackbean ver.9)

This is a Ported ROM of Epic Measures. This has been a WIP since my last post.
I at no way Developed this ROM, I just added the right sources to allow it
to boot on our Device. I felt the need for a AOSP ROM and this is just one
of a few I think would work great for our Device.

If not get it done first then come back for the rest.
Which can be found Here
Instruction can be found in this tread Here
If coming from any of the New 4.2.2 ROMs
One must make sure that both ROM and Gapps are on either internal or external storage before booting into recovery.
One must Wipe Data/Factory reset.
One Must format /system in the mount and storage option in recovery.
Then install ROM and follow it by installing Gapps.
The Boot Animation does run short. Let it sit Until either Setup Screen or Launcher

No replies yet?? I'll try it out for you! hah
Nice sig btw
I am unable to use the DRH_2013 Recovery at all.. It fails to mount the internal or external SD card so I cannot load ROM zips to either one... It also will not mount the ext-sd card when it's inserted into the slot, says error mounting. Other recoveries seem to flash the ROM zip just fine but it just hangs on the black screen once the boot animation is finished. I let it sit for at least 20 minutes.

Thanks, swamped on this end but I'll be happy to drop it on and test how it works with the dock once I get some breathing room over here.

Unfortunately the new recovery requires adb push to transfer ROM over to tablet. If you have a external SD card you can take it out of the tablet then transfer the ROM to it using PC. Then load card back into tablet and install from external storage.

Then there might be a possibility that you SD card might need to be reformatted. The recovery will read fat32 as long as it is formated correctly.if you are using Windows to formats don't do the quick format let it clear out all the 1's and 0's the long way

I tried all the steps you listed, formatted the SD card using fat32 unchecked quick format, the recovery still can't mount the SD card though, it says
E:Can't mount /external_sd
Error mounting /external_sd
I also try to do ADB sideload and when I run adb devices the g tab doesn't show up but my Vivid does.. Using the CWM-based Recovery v6.0.2.8.

Before the installation are you trying to mount the external SD first? If so don't. Just choose install zip from sdcard and the choose zip from external sdcard. No mounting needed.

Same error, it just gives me E: Can't mount /external_sd/ even going straight to install zip from external sd.. very odd no?

Very odd. Have you tried reflashing the NVflash package and starting the processes over? What was the last recovery did you have installed last?

Are you referring to the DRH2013 NVFlash? Yes, I tried that starting all over from the beginning. I believe I was using the CWM 5504 DRH recovery normal text before if that rings a bell?

The only other thing I can think of is trying a different micro sdcard, or if you have used the adb setup before with a DRH ROM. Then you could in th3ory rename the .zip to the same as what team DRH uses and place it in the same directory that there's is located on the ADB setup and load it that way. Haven't tried it myself, but it should work the same since it is just a ADB script.

I feel so bad, it's been a while since I've been on here. So busy with life. I wanted to think you Nobe for putting out this baked rom. I've been running it for 6 months or so and love it. It looks like a updated version than what I have. I'm going to dl now. I'm not sure, I'd șay this is the best for the GŤãB in a long while.... :beer:
