With that solution is also the "/data" mapped to the SD card? With my method the /data is still mapped to the internal memory so i still need app2sd.

edit: i am talking about the solution from TheBoegl

This program correctly swap memories https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.codlab.int2ext&hl=uk

no, that would not help in performance... so you can use link2sd if your /data gets crowded, but it won't get this easy.

I thought apps got installed in "/data" by default unless you use some tool like link2sd. If that is the case then i dont see any use in swapping internal with external?

 

[TheBoegl]

Some navigation apps or huge games put their data now on the real sdcard instead to the internal one - without using Link2SD.
The apk resides on the data partition...

I try this one, and it really works)

mount -o rw,remount /
mkdir -p /data/internal_sd
mount -o bind /mnt/sdcard /data/internal_sd
mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:97 /mnt/sdcard
mount -o bind /data/internal_sd /mnt/extSdCard

but strange:
1) this commands exec only in terminal, in Script Manager it doesnt.
2) In system info memories really swap and when I install apps, it show me that size of programs raise, its good, but when I open ES Exprorer, memory of extSdCard(that was internal) decreases.. strange
When I donwloaded cache for game, cache placed in my bigger card.. but apk may be installs only on my internal?

Allright so if my /data get's to full i can still use app2sd I will first try it a few days with my solution (script manager so easy reverseable) and if i like it i will flash the permanent boot file!

thanks for your efford!

dear friends
if You want to have something similar to light sensor autobrightness i can advice to use Lux Auto Brightness with camera mode.
Camera is used as light sensor on screen on only but it works. I made some video to show it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deda59pn-Uk

when i use script manager it says me, that "directory or file not found"

Well it works at me

What is your phones firmware?
Did you tried running the script twice?
Are you sure you granted root rights to script manager?

TheBoegl's firmware. Yes I tried. I'm sure.

 

[mattiemvs]

TheBoegl's firmware. Yes I tried. I'm sure.

I am using the STOCK S7710XXAMB5 (stock but rooted) and it works with that firmware. You can try using a root file explorer if the directory /dev/block/vold/179:97 and /mnt/sdcard and /data/media and /storage/extSdCard exists mabey its called /storage/external SD for example.

Now, i will try copy /data into my extsdcard and mount /data in extsdcard, interesting whats happen)

 

[Hagis]

guys - if script is working fine then someone of You should build complete ROM with pre-rooted and pre-scripted system.
Not everybody knows how to do it all
I'm sure we all will be VERY thankful.

God - we so need CWM...

and i try, but apps dont want to install - not enought memor
may be i need to bind only some directories in /data?

 

[TheBoegl]

@Hagis you can just flash my boot.img.
I'll link the original one if I'm at home.

 

[Hagis]

so - right order :
1. flash Your rooted rom
2. flash Yout boot
3. factory reset device

is it right path to happiness ?

 

[TheBoegl]

factory reset is overkill because wiping cache is enough.

I'll integrate the boot image into the updated prerooted firmware in a few minutes...

 

[Hagis]

but im migrating from Polish non rooted PLS firmware with lots of carrier stuff. I will try just cache but i,m almost sure that will not work



I was mistaken

You are great. I'm testing it right now

Is your sdcard the same filesystem as the /data? I think /data is ext2 or ext4 or something and the sdcard is "fat". mabey you can create a seccond partition (for link2sd) and mount the /data in THAT partition.

We are getting somewhere dont stop now It would be so fantastic to have 16gb of app storage available


(and also cwm would be perfect ;p)

 

[TheBoegl]

All seems to work. The new build is up.Please read the information posted there.

Changelog:

• changed system size to 1152MB
• edited cache.img (csc apps removed)
  will throw a exception because the zip is not signed properly
• boot.img external storage is now the primary one.
  you can access your internal one under /storage/sdcard0

If you are using folderMount, Link2SD, ... disable their bind/relink at boot capability before flashing and enable that afterwards.
