Data2ext CyanogenMOD - UPDATE 26/01/11

Wrong button there -_-

I doubt your ROM is the issue. The first few lines of the logcat while booting would help in working out why data2ext2 isn't working.

The only suggestion I have left it to back up what you can, wipe and start over. In the interest of transparency, there are probably less destructive ways of fixing this; however I haven't used data2ext in ages. I think I stopped using it about a month after I posted it here, so I have no idea how this works any more

To restore your version of busybox just flash your ROM again with no wipe. All your data will be intact (assuming the creator of your ROM wasn't a jerk by putting a wipe in the updater-script). What the re-flash does is restore the /system partition back to default. (Busybox is stored on /system). To reset data2ext run data2ext --disable, wipe /sd-ext then re-enable data2ext, but you lose all your data (I think).

Thanks I'm just gonna wipe everything and start over (obviously keeping all my sdcard stuff). Since i'm so hard pressed for this, I'm gonna try doing this again lol. I need internal memory bad lol!

Lol yup. I actually was gonna get an S2 but then i heard about the SGS3, and based on the specs of it, its well worth waiting till august.

So i basically started over everything (wiped boot,system, cache, data, sd-ext, cache partition, and dalvik cache, then restored my sdcard info from my computer to the phone and flashed my ROM again). So i tried doing the commands again and again, i got that "tune2fs: applet not found" error again, so i kinda feel that the same thing is going to happen again ( Me uninstalling and re-installing busybox and checking to see if the commands go through, but ending up giving "tune2fs: not found") So yeah.. Lemme know if i'm missing something. By the way, i'm wondering if it matters if i'm using ROMRepo's instructions or the ones in the first post?

Edit- Changing to 3.0.0.5 didn't do anything. Guess my busybox didn't change when i flashed my ROM again. Sometime tomorrow, i'll try doing it on another ROM, then if it doesn't work, i'll be on my way.

Wow...just...wow...

I was right, Grammar

I had to get another ROM. I was on ZeroHero, then i wiped everything i could possibly do (save sd-card), flashed the TeamHeroC Rom, try following the instructions again, this time on 5.0.2.7 and BAM!! Genius Happened

So I guess this won't work on Sense ROMs. Anyway thanks for the assistance Grammar

Let this be a warning to all who use this: Don't use Sense ROMs initially to enable this.. Not sure if it will work, once it's already been enabled, I plan on trying that asap and i'll report back what happens.

Edit- Found this article to help with flashing another ROM/kernel/etc. Sorry for the unnecessary drama ("Let this be a warning"...) lol.

hi, question, i partitioned sd card using clockworkmod 5.0.2, then applied zip data2ext4-V4.zip, and ran in terminal data2ext --enable, it requested me to reboot, so i rebooted....

how do i now recognize if it works or not without messing phone with applications ...

kingston 8gb class4

EDIT: ok it works with leatest KANG CM7 partition over cwm5 was enough tested it with installing some apps, heh

 

[exProphecy]

hai guise. Is there anyway we can add instructions on what to do when we update our ROM (while having data2ext enabled) onto the first post? I was looking for the steps myself through the 45 pages and saw lots of people asking this same question. Wouldn't it be more efficient to add it to the main post?

Just a suggestion but great script! yay ^_^
