[OUTDATED] Darktremor Apps2SD version 2.7 Update 3r1 (2010-06-26)

Try 2.6.1...the fixes you tried to push through are in it plus other fixes.
But, if you're comfortable with 2.5, then that's okay.
I'll mess with it tomorrow, I saw you posted that right after I made my entry.
Before you try...I think I may be seeing what you are seeing. The thing reverted my dalvik-cache.
Got a feeling that the same thing that is in Fresh 2.0d (which I had to make a workaround) is in DC 2.7.2. I now see the issue and am tracking it down. Should have a fix tomorrow for you (it will be 2.6.1 as well).
EDIT: Found the issue. I was trying to determine if the /data/dalvik-cache was a directory if it couldn't find the flag file (looks like this: if [ -d /data/dalvik-cache ]
. While that looks fine, it doesn't behave as expected. Apparently, if you have a symbolic link called /data/dalvik-cache, it treats it as a directory as well (I guess that is due to it being linked to a directory). Changed the code to read: if [ ! -h /data/dalvik-cache ];, which says: if /data/dalvik-cache is not a symbolic link. Now it works as expected.That was strange, because I wasn't seeing that in the Rom I was testing (which, oddly, was a 1.5 Rom since there was a lot of requests to make my version of A2SD compatible with 1.5 Roms).
I tested it on DamageControl 2.7.2, so I know it works now.

i tried flashing both 2.6.1 cache and 2.6.1 no cache on my rooted cliq, running Handler Exploit 1.5......when attempting to flash the .zips via recovery it says "error in install.sh" "run_program PACKAGE:install.sh" then it says "installation aborted"
-this occurs when it gets the the "copying files" stage of the .zip install
-again this happened for both versions of the .zip
anyone have any thoughts?
thank you in advance!

Sweet. Downloading now, let you know how it goes.
Edit:
Ok, downloaded it and flashed it...same as before. It's rebuilding dalvik each time. Plus it's force closing pretty much everything but sense itself when it finally does boot. Going back to 2.5 again.

Need you to send me what you see in logcat when you boot. I know I fixed this issue since I'm running DC 2.7.2.
Note: I just rebooted and my dalvik-cache is holding.
EDIT: Try again, this time, send me the logcat before you move back to 2.5. E-mail address rtkirton at gmail.com

Thanks for looking. Not sure where the issue is. But in the logcat I sent you I'm showing this:

2.6.1 works fine on Gumbo 1.5c. Was using an assortment of 2.1 roms, but could never get an audiofix that worked completely.
Oh well, nothing wrong with Gumbo
Nothing wrong with Gumbo at all. It's a good solid Rom.
just flashed over fresh 2.0d using a2sd built in that rom and my phone locks up during the boot animation [the animation stops animating haha]...any thoughts? wait it out? its been 2 minutes...
now been 15 minutes, something is wrong. i'll reflash the zip and report back

Perform a nandroid restore and download the nocache version. I just talked to TrevE (who also builds an Apps2SD that is a bit more feature packed than mine). He was stating the 2.1 Roms (the ones that have the 2.6.29 kernel) don't have the timing mechanisms that were present in 1.5 (probably wasn't put in during porting). Trying to move everything at once while dalvik is running is causing an instability issue. Using the nocache version will prevent the dalvik-cache from moving on boot (or it should).
Its possible. The a2sd-2.6.1-nocache version is suppose to do just that...keep dalvik-cache from moving. You would have to manually execute the a2sd cache command to initiate the move.
This is happening more on the 2.1 roms based on the 2.6.29 kernel. It looks like it is okay on 1.5 Roms and possibly 2.1 roms based on kernel 2.6.27.
I'm thinking on redoing everything to compensate.
how would i incorporate this in a rom im building off of fresh 2.0d? would i have to use the no-cache version than have the users move the dalvik manually via command? i tired to build in trevs gui app and it doesn't work.
tried that and that failed too, i then noticed flipz/toast released a new OC rom so i decided to just wipe/flash and try that. it's pretty nice, but now I was *hoping* someone can direct me to a 2.1 rom w/ a working camera that will work with the way my SD is now setup for the new dev rom aka EXT4 so i can nandroid back and forth at will....cause Fresh 2.0D + this release isn't working for me in any which way. thanks everyone.
With Fresh 2.0d, I put it in two locations:
/system/bin/a2sd (this is for user instructions...normally this is where the system launches)
/system/etc/init.d/04apps2sd (this is where Fresh 2.0d launches the a2sd from).
There is code in place that will detect where you launch it from (in your case /system/etc/init.d/04apps2sd) and, if it sees 04apps2sd and that the /data/dalvik-cache directory is a physical directory, it will prevent the dalvik-cache move routines from launching (it will literally create the .nocache flag on /system/sd...but only if it can actually mount the ext partition.)
So, when you build your rom, obviously you should reset the dalvik-cache to be a directory again during your ROM installation.
Good luck and, if you need assistance, let me know.

Introducing Darktremor Apps2SD 2.7 Update 3r1
Date of Release: June 26, 2010
This is Darktremor Apps2SD, a powerful program that allows a user to execute applications created for the Android OS on their Secure Digital card (with the proper setup...more on that later). But, Darktremor Apps2SD is all about stability. The goal is to be able for all users of the Android OS to be able to take advantage of a method to run their applications from a secure digital card.
But just because the Darktremor Apps2SD is all about stability, doesn't mean it isn't packed with features:
- Move applications (both free and paid) to the Secure Digital card.
- Move Dalvik Cache to run either from your Secure Digital card or from your cache partition.
- Activate a swap partition on your SD card.
- Automatically fixes configuration issues.
- Users can check the free space on their SD card and check the installation to make sure all is setup correctly.
- Runs ZipAlign on demand...this makes your programs load faster.
- Allows the user to easily clear the Dalvik Cache without booting into recovery
- Designed with all different phones and roms in mind.
- Built in help system for easy reference of commands.
- All features can also be reversed without repartitioning your Secure Digital card.
Not sure if you should use this program? Take a look at these roms that currently run Darktremor Apps2SD:
That makes 22 different roms across 6 different phones that uses Darktremor Apps2SD. And more roms have been tested and verified to work with Darktremor Apps2SD.1
Download http://www.darktremor.com/files/misc/a2sd-2.6-signed.zip and flash it like you would a ROM. I flashed it with RA 1.6.2...not sure if other recovery versions will work (been getting mixed results).
If you can't flash it, let me know and I'll guide you to manually push it.1hey guys!
is there a way to move apps to internal storage when i have flashed DT?
im using CM7 nightly and darktremor.
i want to move for example desktop visualzer to the interal storage.
thx for help
You would have to move the app to /system/app/
