[GUIDE]Procedure to Move Apps 2 Sd (ICS)

---

Hi Everyone

I am creating this thread because most of the people still asking how to move the apps 2 sd on ICS, as the app2sd dt is not working.

So here is a step by step guide to do it.

1st you need any root explorer.
I am using the File Manager (because the Root Explorer is getting FCs on ICS)

Here is the link to the File Manager
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...=search_result

Load the File Manager
Go to setting and Tick the root explorer and Mount System Folders.
(Allow the Super User Permission)

Then download this file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...5&d=1328558597

Unzip it and paste it in the sdcard.

Now open the File Manager
Copy The "S2E" from the sdcard\ICS_simple2ext\system\app
and paste it to the system\app (presented in the root folder)

Similarly copy the "20userinit" file from the sdcard\ICS_simple2ext\system\etc\init.d
And paste it to the system\etc\init.d (presented in the root folder)
It will ask to replace the file, so Just Replace it

Now open the S2E from the app drawer and configure the following :
- Menu->Settings: Check "Extended partiton info", "Mount as ext4" and "Set read buffer"
-Reboot your phone
-Start S2E again : Check "Applications" , "Private apps"
-Reboot your phone

Note: If you like you can also check the "Dalvik Cache" and the "Download cache"

You will get around 170 mb internal memory free out of 178 mb.

Special Thanks to:

Maclaw and His Team for Providing us the ICS

Works perfectly, this is the right method. Tested and used on v6 and v7 too.

followed the guide exactly. move the file to the specific location. after i restarted my phone there was no s2e app installed. tried opening it manually from system/app but i got this error : There is a problem parsing the package . the script is there, the 20userinit file, i tried using a2sd DT GUI but it says there is a problem with the script

But... this forum is not the place for guides

Maybe not, but looking after all these morons spamming CM9 dev thread, it could be sticky here, as an exception.

Work great..thanks bro.

This is not CWM update package?

it is, but originally for another phone I think, but I saw the script and you should be able to install it in recovery, just make a backup, and mount system before flashing, the script doesn't do this.

But I think the system partition is mounted. See this.

updater-script file from meta inf

ui_print("Custom update script for");
ui_print("Sandvold's ICS for bravo");
ui_print("Packed by tlex");
ui_print("http://e-tel.eu");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print("Mounting system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
ui_print("Deleting old files");
ui_print(" ");
delete("/system/etc/init.d/10apps2sd");
ui_print("Extracting new files");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
ui_print("Setting permissions");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/app/s2e.apk");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/system/etc/init.d/20userinit");
ui_print("Unmounting system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print("All done!");

In line 7 is command to mount system.

I was unable to install it in the clock recovery mode.

Its working without any issues
