Some batch files
Hello All,
First thanks to all involved for the info enabling us to do this...
I created some batch files to help automate the process a bit.
Make sure you follow the instructions and I'm not responsible if
you mess something up. You should know what your doing (ie. done
this manually) before attempting.
*** You must have a FAT/FAT32 partition (first partition) AND an EXT2 partition (second partition) on your SD Card ***
I have only tryed this with JF 1.31 on a G1 with the dev bootloader.
You must unzip the file ANDROID2SD.ZIP into your android directory where adb resides! (ie. C:\ANDROID\TOOLS)
If you don't know what adb.exe is then your not ready to do this!
Short Description of what each batch file does:
app2sd1.bat & app2sd2.bat are run to move all apk's to the sd card
You must reboot the phone after running app2sd1.bat before running app2sd2.bat
cache2EXT2.bat is run to move the cache for market and browser to the sd card's ext2 partition
data2EXT2.bat is run to move the entire /data/data directory to the sd card's ext2 partition
I ran all Batch files after wiping & updating my phone and had no problem.
I have been running my phone this way for a week with no problems.
The only thing I noticed was when I installed like 50 apps in a row the phone rebooted on me. Not sure if it's related or just an Android thing.
Your results may vary.
For reference, I'm using an 8 Gb Class 6 Micro Sd Card

EDIT: Small fixes. One of the batch files had a txt extension. Also tryed to make the readme.txt a little better.
Two additional notes:
If done correctly you should have no problem mounting your phone to your computer and accessing the first partiton just as before.
No need to run cache2ext2.bat if your going to run data2ext2.bat.
