As my internal memory is shrinking i'm thinking abt flashing ungazes app2sd.. but need some explanation first. I'm using devoid franco with latest franco kernel.. should i have to reflash again to flash app2sd, what is the proper way to flash it.. do i need to format my sd card completly to format ext partition as it will delete every data tht i have. Btw my sd card data write speed is 6.2 nd read is 9.9 is it enough for app2sd? Plz help

You should really post this in his forum but anyway yes it will format the SD card and i suggest backing it up on your pc first then format the sd card i use a 16 gig card and made a 2 gig partition which gave me 1.7 gigs of space for apps (oh before all this back up your apps with titanium backup then back up your sd card) after that i would put the ROM and Kernel on your sd card go to recovery wipe all your data and then reflash the ROM and kernel (i have not used the ROM so if it has app2sd you need to disable it) then after you should reboot into your phone check the space for apps then reboot again into recovery and flash ungazes data2sd after that it should be working the best way to see if it is working just look at the available space for apps it should be significantly greater then simply put all your data from your sd back up back on your SD card restore your apps from titanium backup and there you have it huge performance boost and practically unlimited app space you dont have to do it this way but i played with data to sd for a while and found that it is best to flash it on a fresh ROM (ungaze will tell you the same) and also flash it last i love his MOD good luck hope that helps
thanks ... ok i'm tryin to flash it right now .. let see how it go.. btw does mik's cm7 comes with any sort of app2sd or data2sd?
No you don't need to do anything just flash ungazes data 2sd I love CM7 I feel like it has the best performance and its a ready good rom I have heard that out works best with ungazes mod as well let me know how out goes
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA Premium App running CM7 over clocked at 787
well ungaze didnt go well with devoid it was lagging a bit i dnt knw if it was because of my sd card or smthng else ... i'm back to cm7 its way much smoother for me than devoid... i didnt try ungaze with cm7 tho.. or should i try ungaze data2sd over cm7 without flashing the rom again? cause i'm tired of flashing rom's nd wiping everything
im trying to update to newest version but my sd card is fried was wondering if this method will work, i really dont have the cash for a sd card at the moment xD, i really wasnt sure if been on a mtd rom would be a problem
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-a-rom-to-an-android-phone-device-without-sd-card/
i know you said no cash but like a 2gb one is less than $10.
Otherwise i think you are SOL till you get a replacement
oh really ok i can spare some money for a 2 gig but was curious if this method will work lol

What happens to the crappy internal memory when you choose the data2sd option? Is it still accessible for storing files / movies / pictures etc. Or does the microsd card become the only storage option?
you will be able to access it under /data1/

It doesn't become data1, I made it become InternalSD.
There is a flashable file in post 2 of the androwook thread that will make that folder available from the sdcard.

Thanks... I should learn to keep reading. Using that flash able file worked out well.
And I also learned a lesson about not ejecting the microsd card while the system is running. Curiosity got the best of me.

Well, it still becomes /data1/ when you choose the data2sd option.
i didnt know about that zipfile , sounds good to have it mounted on a better accessible place. maybe include that in the rom itself?
thx !

It really doesn't mate. I made the data2sd kernel and I should know what I named it lol
If it really did get renamed to data1 the script I also created in post 2 would not work

You know, that is the only option that I never tested. If that is showing data1 that is a very old one I made and should not have been included in 1.51. Wook must have added it by accident.
The script in post 2 to mount the folder into sdcard will definitely not work for you.
Any reason you're not using the clemsyns one with data2sd? Without that you are missing out on fsync, init.d and other speed improvements.

Yea it used to be like this in the old versions too.
I choose the stock kernel because of stability, have seen weird things happening with older custom kernels on this device, i think mostly due to overclocking and undervolting.
Is clemsyns kernel stable? No SOD, no instant reboots etc?

We all use Clems kernel. I use it now without data2sd but I also used it with data2sd for ages before while testing and I know 1 or 2 of the team members still do and we have never encountered any problems with it at all.
Sorry for doubting you earlier mate, glad you brought it up really so I will know to swap it out on the next release.
Weird how no one else has brought this up sooner but I guess everyone else who is using data2sd is using the clems version.

Does the clemsyn kernel make everything smooth even without data2sd? I was curious as to why you don't use data2sd still.
Thanks for your amazing work .

if you have never used data2sd with clemsyns kernel you will find the clemsyn kernel used with one of the two stock roms is the fastest your prime has ever been. with data2sd it is still slightly better. but not enough to warrant the purchase of an microsd card. In fact I will not even test non stock roms right now because this kernel is only available for stock roms and its way to big a performance hit to use another kernel.
noob question
hi this is my first post ever on xda, so i have some noob questions sorry, ive looked and havent been able to find anything concrete. i installed hairy bean 1.5 with clemsyn elite 1.7 kernel, but id like to try the clemsyn data2sd kernel instead because of the i/o issues, i havea 32gb class 10 micro sd, ive read that its a good idea to partition the majority of the card in etx4 is this true, im not sure how to properly partition for this rom, if someone could give me a recomendation that would be awesome, and from what ive understood so far if i install clemsyn data2sd kernel i would not have issues with accessing the internal storage of prime right?

You can use Gpart (linux) by running live cd or you can download minitool http://download.cnet.com/MiniTool-Partition-Wizard-Home-Edition/3000-2094_4-10962200.html you need a fat32 partiton first then the rest ext4. For the fat32 I suggest using a cluster size of 16k I have tried lower with poor results. Depending on what you plan on using the windows partition for will determine the size. You can go any where from 1 gb and up, just know that when you connect to the sdcard on a windows machine you will only se the fat32 part so if you plan on transfering files make the partition big enough to handle that.
And what is on the EXT4 partition ? System and other folders which is on internal storege??
thx

The only thing on the ext4 partition is the entire contents of /data
So basically the FAT32 partition is for media (music, picts and movies) and the EXT4 for the system to install app and what it needs to work? Is that right?

The fat partition is the External SD space. The ext partition becomes the entire /data folder from android which also includes the Internal SD.
I have a note 2 running Jelly Bean Rom and trying to do the apps 2 sd mod found on galaxynote2root.com. I ran the script but when I check in storage I see both internal and external at 32gb (that's my sd card size) but also when I check on section where it's suppose to be internal now it actually is 10gb. Is this mod not compatible with this rom or did I do something wrong ? Thanks !
Bro, don't take this as being mean. Don't flash crap from other sites and come here to troubleshoot. That's like going to McDonald's to complain about your wrong BK order. Keep it at xda. You could have had the swap installed if you selected it through aroma while installing beans. Instead, you used a different site's method. See the problem? Why even go to the other site? Xda can cover you on everything. I can't help you here, bro. Wipe everything and reflash. Pick SD swap in beans installer.
Problem solved.

But seeing how the exact approach was posted in a tread ok xda by taxmaster I didnt do any thing incorrect and plus I've corrected my mistake and it's working now.
Greetings,
I have been busy with this for 4-5 days now and nothing works.
i just resetted everything and started from scratch.
can anyone explain me how i change internal to external memory i gotten a :
64 GB Mobile Ultra microSDXC card Class 10 (30MB/s) SanDisk
And my firmware is:
4.2.2
My Phone is:
Samsung galaxy s4 GT-I9505
Hope someone can help this noob out.
Need my phone to be ready befor end of the weekend (holliday)
So all the help is welcome.
Installed:
Clockwork installed now
Superuser rights.
only need help how to install the external to internal memory now.
Im not quite sure what youre getting at but ill give it a shot. Theres no way to swap the internal to external memory. Apps and their data get stored on the internal storage. By default theres only a couple things you can have saved to the external memory card. There is an app called folder mount that allows you to save apps/data on the memory card though.

Thats what im tryng now.
Tobad clockwork is not working again
you know a good 1 thats works for GT-I9505?
Thats a mod, i generally refer to conventional means of doing stuff. Anyway ive never used that and it doesnt store everything on the sd. Apps still get saved to internal storage while data/resources get saved to external. Like I said I would check out folder mount. See if that suits your needs.

Installed recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.2-i9500.tar.md5
Altho it was for i9500 it worked.
Then i format to factory settings, then i checked and i could still boot to clockwork used the phone a bit installed superused rights.
then i tryed to put on factory settings again and did not boot anymore to recovery and also not to clockwork.

Once you install a custom recovery yoj cant boot to stock recovery because its overwritten by the custom version. Thats a mega thread for everything i9500 and i9505. I would try reflashing the recovery to see if it fixes it. If not you might have to odin back to stock. This is also the verizon specific forum for the s4 so posting in your devices specific forum would probably get you more help.

Thanks for all the help ill reinstall the offical firmware hope that helps the solution.
ill try the folder mount hope it works becoas my phone is full fast when i download a couple of games.
Not a problem. Glad i could point you in the right direction. If you made any backups you might want to move those to external storage. They are fairly large. I have a couple 1 gig+ games and several smaller ones and still have 5 or 6 gigs left.

Well the main problem was when i install a couple of games the main memory is full way to fast
thats why i wanted and hoped the swap would help the problem.
tho i just made more problems and consumed to mutch time :silly:
i think i just have to stick around on the problem and hope samsung will fix of have a solution to this in time.
i did not make any backups. so i just have to start frome scratch tomorrow.
thanks for all the help again and gl helping others.
You could also try the app Folder Mount in the Play Store here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount&hl=en this will allow you to put the "data" folders associated with larger apps on the SD card. If you are looking to swap internal to external memory the other suggested thread will help you do that. There are pro's and cons to it and when you factory reset or change ROM's you need to do it all over again.
