[21.12.14][ROM/KERNEL] Alex-V Personal GPE ROM 2.1->ExternalSD2InternalSD ->Lolipop 5

Alex-V Personal GPE Rom

​

Introduction​

This is simply my Rom that i use atm. Also i want to say hello again to a storage modification script ...as we all know the very most part
of the apps/Pictures and all other things go into internal space on gpe...so i decided to try some scipts and the one included is good i think

• removed Google Launcher and used Android L Launcher - faster better
• using HTC Camera and Gallery from skydragen rom (thx @HolyAngel)
• HTC keyboard
• HTC Photo Editor (QuickPic to use it) thx @ckpv5
• Init.D Support
• no aroma simple install
• using latest gpe ruu from @graffixnyc (thx to him)
• my own kernel (features are the same as my sense kernel 1.6)
• EXTSD2INTSD storage modification script (original from @mattiadj -thx to him)
• more infos to the script : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/mod-extsd2internalsd-v8increase-data-t1772234
  script is 99% working..it just only shows the old space (gb)
• some more things i forgot

some things more to the script

original is from here:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/mod-extsd2internalsd-v8increase-data-t1772234

i only changed the name of the external card..now this maches m8 external card.....the only thing that not work ..it still shows the old partition space...but the script work...if you make a photo for example it store now in the external sd card instead of the internal...also if you look on how to test the script in original thread..you will see it work...

anyway...maybe someone can have a look to the script to get last things done...will attach it here...

also for the future...i like to have the whole data mounted to the sd...if anyone can help or have ideas...let me know

thx

Very nice storage script, it reminds me of the old Desire days

BTW was using your odexed Alex-V Rom for ages on my Desire, now I am very glad to test your rom again.

Will report tomorrow!

yeah..the good old times...but still nothing new...lol..its a kinda strange that most things even...if a big game downloading data it will go to internal sd...which not have much space...it makes no sense..actual i use a 32gb sd...in future i want a 64 or 128 gb and want to have the whole data part (if possible) to external sd...if i have than the space of the internal free and can take this for music and other...
anyway thx for testing and using in the past and now

good job Alex but i can t find my sd card ? and i have some trouble with super SU why

Storage/emulated/0 btw on pc internal...i included the latest super su i thought..as i had problems to update the binary from older version within the app..anyway if fail extract the super su.zip from the rom and flash it..

Any way to swap that back? All my music is on my external, no space... =/

*Edit*
Root is broken as well. I even downloaded and flashed version 2.40 from his thread and no go. App freezes when either trying to give permissions or you try and open the app.

 

[info[]box1]

Already have the latest supersu.zip on sd card and flash after all of this 5.0 roms in general. Trust me nothing directed art this build or OP.

 

[aussie1234]

Safe?

I am not following the concerns with this ROM.

Is it safe to flash or will I lose my SD card or Root if I do?

Thanks

Aussie

Is that script specifically for this ROM or all other versions of any ROM ? I'm actually interested as everything I download gets downloaded to internal sdcard,and not external. Is the script automatic ? Or does one need to run it as an automatic option (run at boot:script manager) ? I'm on a 4.4.4 ROM, so this script is the first time I've seen anything like it...

Tested the script (the one that taken from your ROM.zip)

In a way ... it is a very good script as it mounts the whole external_sd as internal_sd. So the original internal_sd is basically not in use as storage by the system. But users can manually use the original internal_sd to store his files such as musics, movies & etc.

So to use this script, it is advisable on a clean flashed ROM.

I tested this script on my personal ROM. The whole external_sd now mounted as internal_sd. And the original internal_sd now mounted as intSdCard. So any app that rely on its data in internal_sd will fail. Simple solution is to move its data from intSdCard to newly mounted internal_sd.

Now .. I can understand your idea to have the whole data mounted to original internal_sd. And I believe the whole data already mounted to internal_sd. Reason is, in MTP the Internal storage now read the external_sd.

So... need to find a fix to show the right storage space instead of the old space storage .. then we can mount a bigger capacity sdcard as internal_sd

..Still works here..but will make a backup and try again

you will loose nothing..its only a other mounting on boot

@Alex-V I hope i'm not asking a stupid question here but with that script of yours, does that mean that if I install apps, the apps and they're data will go into my external SD card instead of the M8's internal storage?
Will you also mind posting some recommended kernel settings for the first time users?
I saw that I have to use the firmware posted, can I just use back sense firmware as I don't have s-off?

1. The apps and their data still go to data partition but their \Android\data\ and \Android\obb will go to external_sd instead of internal storage.

2. Kernel settings - Alex-V is the right person to advise as I don't use any custom kernel.

3. Not necessarily to use that particular firmware, you can use your 4.4.4 Sense firmware .. maybe yours is same as mine 3.32.707.9

Guess my SD card has to be fast and big for performance to be smooth? As for the kernel, i'm using stock at the moment. We do have the same firmware by the way
