Hi all,
I'm looking for A2SD scripts for ICS ROMs (I have Coldfusion Alpha 3). Darktremor posted in http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21058851&postcount=1 causes no booting of my phone.

I install Coldfusion, boot for first time (but just after welcome screen shows I reboot into recovery), install dtapps2sd and reboot into system. System hangs, no bootanimation, just bootloader logo. No battery charging from USB.


So, is there any working script for A2SD on ICS?

Hi,
I'm using Coldfusion Alpha 3 and I was fighting for two whole days to get A2SD working. Link2SD wasn't satissfiy me. Here's my receipe:

Create file 05sdcard with content:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
/system/bin/mount -o remount,rw /
/system/bin/mkdir /sd-ext
/system/bin/mount -o remount,ro /
if [ -e /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 ];
then
    /system/bin/mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sd-ext
fi;
then
adb remount
adb push 05sdcard /etc/init.d/
adb shell chmod 0755 /etc/init.d/05sdcard

Then download THIS ATTACHMENT, unzip it to /sdcard with preserving directory structure (META-INF in .zip is /sdcard/META-INF etc)
Next:

adb shell
And copy-paste into adb shell window:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
rm /system/etc/init.d/10apps2sd
cp /sdcard/system/app/s2e.apk /system/app/
cp /sdcard/system/etc/init.d/20userinit /system/etc/init.d/
chmod 0644 /system/app/s2e.apk
chmod 0755 /system/etc/init.d/20userinit
mount -o remount,ro /system

reboot, setup s2e according to Your preferences, reboot (watch adb logcat, this boot should take longer)
If everything works go to fridge and open Cold Beer of Winner

    First backup ur memory card
    Boot into recovery
    Advanced
    Partition SD card
    Select 1024. More than enough
    Swap size 0. If u use ur blade for gaming select swap as 32
    Wait
    Reboot
    Install s2e from link below
    Check all boxes
    Reboot(takes time)
    Start installing ur will-be 500 apps ;)

    I had a2sd problems too. Install link2sd and mount as ext3. But link2sd doesn't move app data. So by 100 apps, ur memory will be full

    Hit THANKS if I helped u :p

    Apps2sd moves part of the app and leaves data and dalvik files on the phone memory. This fills it up pretty fast. S2E moves everything, so u get lots of space

    Link2sd allows u to move individual apps but not their data


    Dont forget to thank me ;)
