Apps2Sd + Hero

So I did a wipe on my phone and installed Hero. Whenever I try to install an app it says "insufficient storage". I only have 9Mb available in my internal memory.. why is it so little?
I just formatted my 4Gb sdcard to Fat32 and ran sdsplit and got the following::
Code:

[Q] Recreating Partitions

I'm somewhat in the same dilemma by messing up my partitions trying to dual-boot. Now I have a semi-bricked Nook Color that still can be booted up via a CWM SD card.
I was able to completely wipe it all through parted. Now I need help restoring the partitions and the required files to boot back into the stock firmware.
Here is what I have so by using CWM.

I've been reading this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942324 and have all the partitions images except for mmcblk0p2 and mmcblk0p3.
I just don't have any idea on how to make the partitions then write the partition images to it.

[Q] /system/ directory corrupted, Salvage?

Is this supposed to happen or do I indeed have a corrupted directory?

I went ahead anyway and this was my result

I don't have any bad blocks and so far I don't see any problems, however, when I checked mmcblk0p10, that came back with errors, which I am not sure if I should have or not. I didn't bother to fix that though.

I suppose it's supposed to be that was because I re-install CM9, factory reset / wiped and...

First things I did before and just after rooting

Hey all.
Tools I used for flashing and backup:
on PC linux box:
- heimdall - which does the flashing
- netcat - (nc, ncat or netcat) tool for writing to or reading from network.
- partx - assigns partitioned disk images as kernel's loop devices like: loop0p2...loop0p25
on s3 mini:
- busybox
- "Rooted SSH/SFTP Daemon"
Before rooting reboot the phone to the download mode and download
the pit file with:
Code:
heimdall download-pit --output goldenxx.pit --no--reboot
Root your phone and install busybox and ssh daemon on it.
Start sshd but close all other apps to keep filesystem activity so low as possible.
start netcat on your PC:
Code:
netcat -l 192.168.0.11 5050 > mmcblk0.gz
Now netcat is listening for input from your lan (Replace address to corresponding your PC's IP address)
Now try to connect to your phone with ssh. When you got an # prompt then:
Code:
sync
and send your whole internal storage from phone to your PC:
Code:
cat /dev/block/mmcblk0 | gzip | nc 192.168.0.11 5050
Do not start any apps on your phone before you got back the command prompts both on phone and PC.
when you got a command prompt again and no error messages was printed. you should have an
gzip compressed disk image of you phones mmc on your PC.
Check its integrity running
Code:
gzip -t mmcblk0.gz
If the package is ok, copy the goldenxx.pit and mmcblk0.gz to the sure location.
Now you can make an uncompressed copy of mmcblk0.gz for example:
Code:
zcat Backup/mmcblk0.gz > ~/mmcblk0
With partx you can use the image like any other partitioned disks running as root:
Code:
partx -v -a ~/mmcblk0
it should print something like this:
Code:
partition: none, disk: mmcblk0, lower: 0, upper: 0
Trying to use '/dev/loop0' for the loop device
/dev/loop0: partition table type 'gpt' detected
/dev/loop0: partition #2 added
/dev/loop0: partition #3 added
/dev/loop0: partition #4 added
...
/dev/loop0: partition #25 added
and print out the data of partitions associated within kernel:
Code:
partx -s ~/mmcblk0

now you can explore the partitions and make images of it. For example:
Code:
file -s /dev/loop0p11
/dev/loop0p11: Linux rev 1.0 ext4 filesystem data, UUID=1b70457a-e011-c65a-87c6-f346bd874821, volume name "efs" (extents) (large files)
Code:
cat /dev/loop0p11 > ~/efs.ext4
and...
Code:
file -s /dev/loop0p16
Code:
/dev/loop0p16: data
It is modem.bin so:
Code:
cat /dev/loop0p16 > ~/modem.bin
Note that ext4 images must be transformed to the right .img-file form with ext2simg tool before flashing.
Be careful before flash your phone with these files.
remember to unmount all /dev/loop0 -partitions and finally
Code:
partx -d /dev/loop0
losetup -d /dev/loop0
because the images was copied from running system,
all writeable filesystems are not clean. So you might want to e2fsck these partitions.

now you can explore the partitions and make images of it. For example:
Code:
file -s /dev/loop0p11
/dev/loop0p11: Linux rev 1.0 ext4 filesystem data, UUID=1b70457a-e011-c65a-87c6-f346bd874821, volume name "efs" (extents) (large files)
Code:
cat /dev/loop0p11 > ~/efs.ext4
and...
Code:
file -s /dev/loop0p16
Code:
/dev/loop0p16: data
It is modem.bin so:
Code:
cat /dev/loop0p16 > ~/modem.bin
Note that ext4 images must be transformed to the right .img-file form with ext2simg tool before flashing.
Be careful before flash your phone with these files.
remember to unmount all /dev/loop0 -partitions and finally
Code:
partx -d /dev/loop0
losetup -d /dev/loop0
because the images was copied from running system,
all writeable filesystems are not clean. So you might want to e2fsck these partitions.

[SCRIPT] Fix partition table for Android 4.4

Since the gapps for 4.4 need very much space wee need bigger system partitions.
I've created a script which automates this process and increases them both to 840MB.
the space is taken from the userdata partition.
You should backup your whole phone before doing this(storage will not be touched but you shouldn't take the risk)
I tested it with 32GB version only so if you want to know if it will work for 16gb, too give me the output of this command:
parted -s /dev/block/mmcblk0 print
Download:
http://d-h.st/FWz
Instructions:
1) boot into CWM
2) adb push repartition.sh /tmp
3) adb shell chmod 0777 /tmp/repartition.sh
4) adb shell /tmp/repartition.sh
5) adb reboot recovery
6) now you can do all the usual stuff like enabling TDB and installing ROM's

Sounds great but I cannot test it, since I dont have any parted binaries (at least in my 4.1.1 Wajk Wiui ROM) ? Can you please tell me where I can get them.
Second Question:
Im currently running TDB:
System 1 latest WIUI 4.1.1 v5 ROM
System 2 MIUI v6 1.9.19
Both system partitions are completely full (usage 98 %) and the same with the data partitions ( usage 97 % )!
Would it be possible to decrease /sdcard space and repartition it like the following with TDB enabled:
system 800 mb
system1 800 mb
data 1500 mb
data1 1500 mb
sdcard *the rest*
thanks in advance

sounds like you tried to repartition from Android
You need to boot to CWM - you have parted there.

Sorry I hate people who just ask stupid questions before reading the instructions carefully ...silly me sorry for that...
What about the second question, is it possible to either increase the data partitions for less space on /sdcard ?

there isn't sth. like a data1 partition. we have one data partition only that's why we need the TDB hack.
other than that it's possible but you should backup all your data and restore it afterwards.

Ok got it.
So following your instructions and editing script like the following should work ?
Code:
change_table() {
ui_print "parted: delete"
parted -s /dev/block/mmcblk0 rm 23 || return 1 # system
parted -s /dev/block/mmcblk0 rm 24 || return 1 # system1

parted -s /dev/block/mmcblk0 rm 26 || return 1 # userdata
parted -s /dev/block/mmcblk0 rm 27 || return 1 # storage
ui_print "parted: create"
parted -s /dev/block/mmcblk0 mkpartfs primary ext2 336MB 1176MB || return 1
parted -s /dev/block/mmcblk0 mkpartfs primary ext2 1176MB 2016MB || return 1

parted -s /dev/block/mmcblk0 mkpartfs primary ext2 6515MB 31.3GB || return 1
ui_print "parted: name"
parted -s /dev/block/mmcblk0 name 23 system || return 1
parted -s /dev/block/mmcblk0 name 24 system1 || return 1

parted -s /dev/block/mmcblk0 name 26 userdata || return 1
parted -s /dev/block/mmcblk0 name 27 storage || return 1
return 0
}
Code:
ui_print "format partitions"
for NUM in 23 24 25 26 27
do
if ! format_partition "$NUM"; then
ui_print "Failed format partition $NUM"
exit 1
fi
done
already did full backup of sdcard, i just dont know if i should disable TDB before i stat repartitioning ... I dont know how TDB works to split the data partition thats my problem :/

yes that should work.
You don't need to disable TDB because your whole data partition will be wiped and it stores the TDB configuration(that means that TDB automatically gets disabled).

Had some errors but now its working fine ..thanks

unmount sdcard in CWM. It's a bug of this script.
Nice to hear it works now.

7 days ago Phone not start because partition corrupt
Hello
First do not panic is not the fault of your script but for you experience with mi2s and partitions are the few people in the world that can save my phone.
I'm playing a game phone(Xiaomi m2s 16GB) hang and one or more partitions are corrupt (I think this is the problem). But all de documentation than i find to delete o edit partition not work. Fastboot rom installation all ok but always only start with white logo. Mirecovery works perfectly and CWM by ivan works but temporally with this command sudo fastboot boot recovery.img

Can you explain a little more? Does it only leave 1 system partition? Can I flash it like a regular zip?
Enviado desde mi MI 2S mediante Tapatalk

any step by step manual how to change partition? with all necessary downloads etc...
or.... is it possible to delete system2 with all its parts? - for me I'd to use system1 only

Why can not I change the size of the system partition?
Already tried several times, with disabled TDB and with enabled TDB.
Full wipe did and still no result.
P.S. I have already been able to do any repartitioning.

UPD. The problem was that I was using Windows Povershell
Run the script from the command line and everything turned out.

Thanks!
I have to format first system and system1 in recovery to apply this script, because I have and error :
tmp/repartition.sh lin 115 can´t create /sdcard/parted_12_06_2014_FDFD6F4CB043F4956D9CAD053C3738AA.

DO MOUNT your SDCARD
then Follow the instruction
duhh...

I modified the script a little bit for 1 ROM usage. System1 is 840MB as in the original and System2 is 5MB. The rest goes into userdata. This is for the 16GB version.

Ok! I did again and umount the sdcard abd it worked fine.
Thanks

I found a better way
If u reboot into dload mode, u can change the partition table from your computer
The problem is that most partition managers don't support changing the GPT Partition names and that's why I added support for that to GParted.
GParted supports booting from Live CD/USB so Windows/Mac users aren't left out.
http://i.imgur.com/3SwSXs2.png
I pushed the patch to GParted repo's and I'll inform u once there're any news.

from my point of view the best way for use is:
- system (system1) - let 1024 MB
- system1 (system2) - let 10 MB
- userdata (apps) - let 4096 MB (take it from sdcard) - but maybe more
