Is there any plan to solve the titanium backup bug?
Ora maybe just a workaround except restoring data with clean rom flashing?

As Amarullz had explained this script leaves /data_s and /dalvik-cache in internal memory. HD2 has quite small internal memory (/sd-ext is 220 MB) and it gets full with some 40 apps installed. Most of it is the Dalvik (140 MB), but there are also some files in /data-s (~80MB). As I understand the latter was supposed to be for system apps, but I do see some programs moved to the sd ext partition have files inside (mostly lib files). As I see data_s and dalvik-cache are symlinked in /data to /sd-ext.

I was wondering if I could move manually some dalvik and data_s files to the sd extension to free up some internal memory. My plan is to move some .dex and .lib files of a few rarely used programs to a folder in /data and set sym links in /sd-ext.

Has anyone tried to manually move dalvik cache files? Is there anything that I should be aware of before doing this? I haven't looked at the scripts much, so I'm not sure if ad2sdx won't overwrite /sd-ext at some point and I though I should ask.
I am running the modified (by Alex-V, see my signature) version of the script which moves *everything* to my 3 gb ext4 partition. Been using it without problems through various roms.

Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't know about the modified version of this script. Is clearing cache and Dalvik before flashing enough to make it work or do I have to do a full wipe? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...0&postcount=54)

Another question. I have a 256 MB SWAP partition on my SD. It used to work with my previous ROM. Is this script capable of mounting this SWAP partition? I suppose not as Amrullz script doesn't mount it at all. Can I add a few lines to init scripts to mount the swap? If yes what would those lines be?

PS. For the records I did move FireFox and a few other apps' cache successfully by moving their directories from /data-s to /data/move and setting a sym link on their place. IT worked fine for me so you can use this method to move just a few apps cache to SD while keeping most in memory.

When I try to install this Alex-V script I get "Installation Aborted". I just updated my ROM to the latest version. I couldn't get the Alex-V zip to work, but Amarulls ad2sdx-1.0-RC01.zip installed fine. Dalvik and cache were wiped.


Edit: This script is not flashable. Replaced the file in init.d. It booted, but there is now considerable reduction of performance. Phone takes forever to boot and it is constantly asking if I should close Go Launcher or wait. I suppose I should now be extending my System partition and move programs there to make it work. Are System apps being preserved when a new ROM is installed? The tutyng flashable zip file says it is formatting /system during installation.

You may have, somehow, ended up with some corruption or circular links. The only way I know how to fix those is with a clean install, sorry. When this happened to me I

1. Made a full Titanium Backup
2. Did a factory wipe, cleared ext partition
3. Installed rom without script
4. Booted to create initial setup
5. Installed rom with script
6. Restored apps & data with TB

Sounds like a lot of work but it is quick and cleans a lot of problems.

I made a ful CWM backup before doing the change. I just restored the backup to get it work. I couldn't do much with this state, but from what I was able to load it seemed that all apps were there, but settings were gone.

What is the right way to install this Alex-V script considering the fact that it was previously running Amarullz script with the respective paths ?
