having a 750mb for data partition like in my previous post seems interesting for everyone. however, make a 2nd rom isn't easy for everyone. there are some people who can't download a rom, which makes dualboot mod useless for them. well...I want to share the joy of having a bigger data partition, so I modify a kernel to enable 2nd ext3 sdcard partition as data partition. for now on lets call this mod **data-2sd**. the steps is quite easy.
well...thanks for irfanbagus who has make a dualboot kernel for us. as I have said, I modify the kernel based on his work. the modified script is not an efficient one. I have to admit that. feel free to edit the kernel if you don't satisfy with my work.
btw, I realize that not everyone want to use sdcard's 2nd partition, especially when their sdcard is slow and they have to wait till they have enough money to buy a faster one. well...you don't have to uninstall this kernel since I've made an option to turn off data-2sd feature simply by delete 'bootsdcard' from your sdcard. now, it will act as stock DXLC stock kernel with init.d support. when you already have a fast sdcard you can turn on data-2sd feature again by make 'bootsdcard' file in your sdcard.

KNOWN ROM INCOMPATIBILITY ISSUE
============================
ADDITIONAL STUFF
==============
if your rom incompatible with this kernel you may try this guide to increase your /data partition as well. you'll need a kernel with init.d support to use this method. please read carefully before modify your system.
1. go to system/etc/init.d
2. delete all a2sd and link2sd related stuff
3. create a new file named 01data2sd. put this script inside it
4. set the permission to 777 (rwxrwxrwx)
5. open your terminal manager. type these command.
note: its blk-zero-p-two, not blk-O-p2
6. via root explorer go to /data.
7. copy all stuff in /data into /data/sdext.
8. open terminal manager. type these command.
9. restart your device.
if you got bootloop, via adb, type these command
KNOWN ISSUE: gps not working.
NOTE: the bug is a lil bit annoying for several person. if you want a BETTER-FASTER-BUGLESS-BATTERY FRIENDLY method to save your internal memory, you can use my akuro tweak.
preparation step:
1. download a modified kernel from here
2. rename the file to 'boot.img'.
3. repartition your sdcard. all partition is primary. 1st partition fat32. 2nd partition ext3. adjust the partition size to any size you want.
the steps:
1. install the kernel
2. make a blank file named 'bootsdcard' in your root sdcard
3. reboot your device.
notes:
1. this kernel is made based on irfanbagus's kernel. (credits for him)
2. if you already have 2nd partition in your sdcard, please reformat it.
3. don't use link2sd or a2sd.
4. clean you init.d folder (optional)
5. you'll need a fast sdcard for best result. our default sdcard is too slow.

KNOWN ROM INCOMPATIBILITY ISSUE
============================
please read this before install this kernel. these roms are reported to incompatible with this kernel. some user said it work, but some other said it doesn't work in these rom. to minimilize the risk, I'll list all reported incompatibility issue with my kernel.[/b]
Incompatibility list
1. chobits digital v1.8 and v2
2. m.u.r (merruk ultimate rom) v1
please inform me if you got another incompatibility issue with other custom rom[/quote]
