This ROM is built from Cyanogen's github repositories with some additional features added by myself.
More specifically, the primary goal of this build is to test a new method for doing Apps2SD that is a bit more friendly. You can read the brainstorming thread for this process here.
The implementation is working, and there are known issues with it. I expect to make regular releases as I perfect the code. As of right now, this should be considered an alpha.
All source code is available on GitHub.
ADDITIONAL "SNACKS":
- Apps2SD w/ enable&disable setting in native Settings application.
- SD EXT partition mounted at /sd-ext
INTRUCTIONS:
You will need an ext partition on your SD card for this to work. Wipe first, flash the update, and optionally flash the Google Addon (see below). The included kernel supports ext2/ext3/ext4.

Booting it up now.
nice! im going to have to keep an eye on this one...
sure why the hell not, anything built from cyanogen source has gotta be good and a new toy to play with too? sweet, downloading now, BTW can I flash my oc-uv kernel and have this still work?

that won't happen as there are too many framework changes going on
so this means each time Cyanogen updates his rom you will be updating this to match? Or once this is stable cyanogen will include it in his rom?
this is awesome- and why i bought a nexus- the development of android is flying along with this device- Google must be very happy with how all this is going...
Bug list as I can see now:
1. Installed apps from market with prompt fine.
2. Hangs up when trying to install apps from sd. (yes I have pirated apps, sue me)
3. Installed AndExplorer and Metamorph both from market, (both to sd) when starting Metamorph, it says it needs AndExplorer. Reinstalled AE and it picked it up.
4. Rebooted after morphing, and then everything I had just installed was gone.

From talks with cyanogen, theres a chance he will include it once it becomes stable (he has even hinted towards lending a hand in the development). To answer your first question, when Cyanogen updates his stuff those changes will be pulled in to this ROM as well.
ok installed linpack to sd and the scores suck, I asssume this has to do with the sd card speed, also to open linpack I had to go to market, I couldnt see it in my menu. infact no apps I chose to install to sd showed up. If I go to market and select them they say installed and I can choose to open them but without going thru this process I cant access them.
NO SH-T! THis is awesome work man!...kudos!
amazing work chris... kudos... using your snackpack for a couple of hrs now... loving it!!!! gonna try to install a hell of a lot of apps and test it out as much as I can... but so far, it's been behaving amazingly...
Code:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/block/mtdblock3 148480 99228 49252 67% /system
/dev/block/mtdblock5 200960 27800 173160 14% /data

got abt 12 apps installed (installed from market) sd-ext... and all work well... even after several reboots...
Ok, so I ussed this for a while last night and mostly it seems good, I went to my standard Cyanogen Rom, have 3 back ups, one desire, this and my Main CM5. when I tried to restore the back of this ROM it failed. My other back ups work fine. I have a Nan+ext back up of everything. I will try to reproduce it this afternoon after class.

Yes it does.
I have 224 programs installed and I have only used 12Mb of internal memory.
CM does support Apps2sd.
CM supports apps2sd but you have to initialize it yourself. You have to set up the partitions and then you have to set it up.
I'm already have old AP2SD on CM ROM, can we install only the new AP2SD on the existing CM ROM?
This is great. I am loving it.

Update on Beta 4
It seems I'm getting mixed results with these betas. I'm not sure why this is occurring, some people have been able to get this working right while others have had a hard time with it.
Currently, I'm rebuilding the entire program. This takes a while because I have to figure out how to pack all these options into the program but make it small enough to where it will run correctly.
I will say that some of the beta features are coming back out...one of them is the search for a partition code. I suspect that code may be leading me into issues with certain platforms, so I'm going back to the 2.7.5.2 method of mounting (mmcblk0p2 or mmcblk1p2).
Also, parts of the code will use Busybox Ash (the only code that won't will be starta2sd, which will still use Bash for the time being). The startup code will definitely use Busybox Ash.
Until then, here are the links to the the last two betas and the last official release:
Version 2.7.5.3 Beta 04 - http://www.darktremor.info/files/a2sd/dtapps2sd-2.7.5.3-beta04-signed.zip
Version 2.7.5.3 Beta 03 - http://www.darktremor.info/files/a2sd/dtapps2sd-2.7.5.3-beta03-signed.zip
Version 2.7.5.2-1 - http://www.darktremor.info/files/a2sd/dtapps2sd-2.7.5.2-1-signed.zip

Beta 04 took longer than I expected to release. I have done major changes to the code:
1. New commands: convert-ext4 - This will convert your EXT3 partition into EXT4. Just a friendly reminder on this command: Not every rom supports EXT4, so it is possible to go into a boot loop if you switch roms. Use with caution.
2. Reworked convert-ext3 (convert-ext4 gets similar code)...now a flag file is set before the reboot (no conversion is done before the reboot). At load time, the conversion is performed. This takes longer in the reboot process and you may think your phone has locked up...wait about five minutes before doing anything with the phone.
3. Repair is rebuilt...now it uses existing commands to repair the setup (reinstall, remove, cachesd, cachepart, nocache, datasd, nodata). Definitely shrinks the code.
4. Added fix_permissions program to the package. This may help with Superuser issues when using the datasd feature. It is used in reinstall, remove, datasd and nodata.
5. a2sd install is back!!! Both a2sd install and a2sd reinstall do the exact same thing.
6. Dalvik heap code has been shrunk and now creates a file called dalvikheap. Actually, the code has been doing this all along (since about 2.7.5.2, I think), but I never put the code in to use the file.
7. Low Memory Killer code has also been shrunk and uses a file caled dtset_lowmem to set the low memory killer parameter.
8. Replaced Busybox PS function with Toolbox PS. The issue with Busybox PS is that it gives a false reading when I look for android.process.acore (which is the main program when the GUI starts up). If that is present, the program thinks you are trying to run Darktremor without any command line parameters. This was because Busybox would report the process was there when, in reality, it wasn't (validated this when my phone was boot looping.) Toolbox's PS reports the correct setting. This should fix the bootlooping issues some people are experiencing.
9. New commands: usedtbusybox and usedefaultbusybox - these commands may help in diagnosing issues that is may be related to the native Busybox on your rom. a2sd usedtbusybox will use the Busybox that is packaged with Darktremor. a2sd usedefaultbusybox will turn back on the scan behavior of the program introduced in Beta 03.
10. Support for Darktremor Apps2SD version 2.7 and earlier has been discontinued. To upgrade correctly from one of those versions, use version 2.7.5.3 Beta 03b or earlier.
11. Finally fixed stalled boot issues (or at least my tests with several roms says so.)
See the change log for additional details.
You will notice that if the program runs repair and finds a problem, it will correct the issue and reboot. You will see a second reboot when the dalvik-cache clears (this is to fix timing issues with CyanogenMod...I can't control that startup as well as I can other roms). This only happens if repair is ran or you flash a new rom (as repair will realign all data). If you are upgrading from a previous version of Darktremor, you should not see the reboots.

This is Darktremor Apps2SD, a multipurpose program that primarily allows a user to execute applications created for the Android OS on their Secure Digital card (with the proper setup...more on that later). But, Darktremor Apps2SD is all about stability. The goal is to be able for all users of the Android OS to be able to take advantage of a method to run their applications from a secure digital card.
But just because the Darktremor Apps2SD is all about stability, doesn't mean it isn't packed with features:
- Move applications (both free and paid) to the Secure Digital card.
- Move Dalvik Cache to run either from your Secure Digital card or from your cache partition and clears the cache on demand.
- Boot Loop Protection: prevents the phone from boot looping in the event the SD card could not be mounted.
- Dalvik JIT for faster performance on Roms which support it.
- User selectable sizes for the Dalvik heap sizes, allowing a user to freely optimize their system.
- Activate a swap partition on your SD card and sets how often the swap partition is utilized.
- Automatically fixes configuration issues.
- Users can check the free space on their SD card and check the installation to make sure all is setup correctly.
- Runs ZipAlign on demand...this makes your programs load faster.
- Built in help system for easy reference of commands.
- All features can also be reversed without repartitioning your Secure Digital card.
- New logging features assists in troubleshooting issues.
- Commands to set the Low Memory Killer feature at boot time. Great for those people who are the "set it and forget it" type.
- And more...
Darktremor Apps2SD is not the same as Froyo Apps2SD. Froyo Apps2SD creates a secure folder on the FAT32 section of your SD card (this is the section that you see when you mount your phone to your computer) and stores the programs there. This is nice as you don't have to do anything special with the phone, but it isn't backwards compatible with older versions of Android (Cupcake, Donut, Eclair) and, because of the way Froyo works, older programs not designed for Froyo will automatically stay on your internal storage (unless you install a program that forces the move to your SD card).
Darktremor Apps2SD takes a different approach. Based on the original CyanogenMod works, Darktremor Apps2SD uses symbolic linking to force Android into moving your applications to the SD card. Because Android will not allow anything to be ran from the FAT32 partition on your SD card (and, in Froyo, it will only allow you to run programs from a special folder), Darktremor utilizes filesystems called EXT2, EXT3 and EXT4. Each one of these filesystems is native to Linux (the operating system running Android), which allows you to run programs from them (same as, say, a computer running Ubuntu). This method is completely compatible with all versions of Android, including Froyo. In fact, you can run both the Darktremor Apps2SD and Froyo Apps2SD at the same time.
Check out the list of Roms that either have Darktremor Apps2SD installed or are compatible with Darktremor Apps2SD. Click on the link labeled ROM List at the top of this message.
Any word on if this will work with Data2sd?

WO HOOOO
Awesome job
As long as Data2SD doesn't actually try to mount the SD card, it should work together with that program. I'll have to take a look at Data2SD to make sure.

Yes it does. I have been using it with CM7 and other roms before that.
what is A2SD?
Got me...I don't know.
Just kidding.
A2SD (a.k.a. Apps2SD, Apps2EXT, SD-EXT) is a concept of moving your applications from your internal storage on your phone to your SD card to be executed. it is used to free space from your internal storage.
There are two main flavors of Apps2SD:
Froyo/Gingerbread Apps2SD - This process is built directly into the Froyo and Gingerbread source code. It is created by Google to allow you to store apps on your SD card (it was created in direct response to the other flavor of Apps2SD). Froyo Apps2SD stores your applications on your FAT32 partition of your SD card in a special secure area. Advantage to this is that you don't need a special program as it is included in all Froyo/Gingerbread builds and you can individually select which programs are stored on the SD card. Disadvantage is that it is only isolated to two versions of Android and, by some people's accounts, isn't built very well.
Classic Apps2SD (also known as Apps2EXT or SD-EXT) - This process uses Android's kernel (which is a Linux kernel) to allow applications to run on the SD card. It utilizes an EXT2/3/4 partition on your SD card to store applications in. It replaces the /data/app directory that is used to store programs in your internal storage and forces that directory to be redirected to your SD card using symbolic links. The advantage of this method is that you are using a native Linux filesystem...so it is compatible with all flavors of Android and (by some people's accounts) it is faster. The disadvantage is you need a separate program to manage the moving of the files, a kernel which can run scripts at boot time, and an EXT partition on your SD card (which is normally a single FAT32 partition).
One advantage that the Classic Apps2SD has over the Froyo Apps2SD is that you can move your Dalvik-cache and, more recently, your program data to the SD card, freeing up even more internal storage.
Hope that answers your question.

It should do it automatically.
You can type a2sd reinstall to initiate it. If the EXT partition isn't mounted, it will not let you move the programs.

Sorry it's taking a while to respond. When I release a version, I end up with a lot of posts I have to keep up with. Not only that, I ended up with an issue I had to fix.

When i try to partition my sd card, i am unable to find that option in android recovery. anyone know how come i cant find it?
The script said that it can't mount ext partition. Says it is a busy resource. I don't have apps2ext running now and your script works on ROMs like 3rd Sense and CyanogenMod 6. I am running the newest nightly of CyanogenMod 7.

If the script says it's a busy resource, what exactly are you doing? It may really be nothing to worry about, especially if the phone reboots after that message.

Hei guys, I'm new to this, barely managed to get adb working for the 1st time.
I kinda have 2 or 3 questions that I couldn't figure out entirely by my own.
1st - What's dalvik-cahce ? what does it do? what gets erased if I wipe it and what do I have to gain if I move it to the sd card?
2nd - How exactly does A2SD work? I'm currently using Link2SD and I don't know how it works and what exactly does that "linked" mean.... Or why should I use A2SD in the first place and not just use App2SD (which actually moves everything it's able to) from the market.
3rd Why does my phone crash? I tried noejins, mik's and andy's roms and they all crashed sooner or later, I got this black screen of death with some white writing on it for 1 second and the phone turned off. Is it because I'm overclocking to 122/787? That's the only common thing I could find - and - it didn't crash before I started overclocking. I think they call it "kernel panic" or something like that.
Thanks in advance.
1. Java bytecode compiler cache
2. No data lost, it is just cache. Will get recreated as needed or on reboot.
3. Link is a symbolic link pointing to another location. Google it.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
some of the phones(lg-p500) cant be overclocked above 768 OC'ed >768 = Kernel Panic and uneven shutdowns like i face after overclocking above 768.
a2sd is different from app2sd....we cannot move dalvik cache and widgets to memory card using app2sd...using a2sd you can create a partition of the memory card where these things can be stored as if it is being stored in the phone memory....it saves you some space in the phone memory....
Kernel Panic is the UNIX equivalent of what you've been seeing all your life as a Windows user, the Blue Screen of Death.
When your operating system encounters an error it cannot recover from, it dumps all the information about it in a log file and reboots. The error is usually called 'fatal'.
See it this way, it's the computer version of jumping off a cliff, realizing that you're going to die and then having your sweetest memories flash in front of your eyes Only in this case the OS comes back to life.
i have tried TSMressurection, and Powerwashed GB roms (followed the ops directions to the T)and i cannot get around all this lag. it seems after about 1 or 2 hours of using the phone i have to reboot. menues open SUPER slow, sometimes screen freezes for about 10 secs...i installed these roms thinking it would get rid of it...i am using Voodoo...
what can i do? what have you all done/used to make it run better? i have tried the supercharged scripted as well and nothing changes...

There is a huge debate about this, but if you are not ready for a new Kernel, you can try an app call Autokiller Memory Optimizer and set it to the Optimum setting.
This will kill apps that are eating up your RAM and over time can slow your phone. This is one simple and quick solution.
This app adjust the memory killer that is already used by the phone. This just helps it to work more efficiently.

Big plus one to this. It's like CM7 (CyanogenMod) or CM7-based MIUI should have been released for our devices from the start. I couldn't believe how smooth my Fascinate was after installing andmer's MIUI.

Where's your other thread? I had an SD Card mount error but found a fix and posted it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1296694&page=2#post18859876
Let me read your thread and I'll see if it's the same issue.
here is mine http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325525
Jsut so I have the steps down:
1) You have the ROM zip file on your SD Card
2) Reboot into ClockworkMod
3) Select install Zip from SD card
4) Navigate to the Zip file
5) Install
You're saying the process breaks for you at #3 because CWM can't read your SD Card?
If the above problem is true, try using rom manager to find and flash the file. if not try a different sd card.

back to the lag issue...when running these roms are you restoring backups from Titanium. If so, are your backups from a froyo rom, that could be part of the problem if you also get force closes. I had the same problem a while back. I have also noticed if changing fonts(such as with absolute system root tools) certain more elaborate fonts can cause some lag as well. also check into the widgets you are using, even on CM7.1 i get insane lag and launcher force closes if I use Fancy Widgets but everything else is fine.
Hopefully one of those things will solve the issue...if not wipe it clean and start fresh lol but seriously hope you figure it out
after re-reading the op it really sounds like your problem could be with restoring apps, it sounds identical to when I first switched to the GB roms. You run smooth as butter for a while the it all goes to hell. I would start with wipe data/factory reset but when intalling backups try WITHOUT DATA if you still get lag, wipe again and install your apps manually from the market or where ever. I ended up going with the latter and haven't had issues since.
Morning guys - i'm a sort of noob (go easy.!) that needs help with my HTC desire. I took plunge and decided to try rooting & applying custom ROM, but now have problems with the screen freezing completely at any point, then on restart the phone boots into the home launcher but screen does not respond or will not wake.
So far:
Rooted with unrevoked
HBOOT flashed to Cm7r2
Latest version of clockworkmod recovery via app
Aurora 4.1 (all dalvik caches wiped at correct points).
V6 supercharger applied on setting 5 (balanced).
Tried with kernel built in ROM (0.7) & gingercakes 0.9cfs no2way havs.
SD card partitioned with GParted (fat32 primary, 2gb primary ext4).
I've had the ROM working fine, the only other thing i can place it to is swapping the SD card, which i've changed from 4gb class to, to a samsung 16gb class 6. Does anyone think that this error could be anyway caused by the fact the card readers i've used (tried 2 different readers) both have had trouble recognising the 16gb card?? (Gparted still recognised it however)
Is it possible to be a hardware issue? Please note recovery works perfectly - wiping caches, reinstalling zip files, backups etc.....only problem is now this freezing of home launcher and no response.
Any help be greatly appreciated, give me a nudge if i haven't given enough detail.
Regards, Nick.!
Additional:- Tried unsupercharging & rebooting - no difference.
Only other thing i can think that i've done prior to the fault is attempting to install busybox for V6 supercharger - which failed every time and affected my root access on the phone. I've found that the Aurora ROM has busybox installed already. However, is it possible me trying that install has somehow affected the rooting of the phone?
So many questions, sorry guys!
Bump.....would ADAO file manager (which isn't on google market I notice) affect anything on ext4 perhaps? That was one app that i downloaded from net.
Have you tried reverting your busybox to the default version? Also, are you overclocking and or overclocking? Going to high or to low with CPU speed can cause problems like that. It has also been said that partitioning an SD card can damage them, which may be an issue you have now. You could try formatting the SD card to its default state and run like that for a while. I ran a 16gb SD card in a Droid Eris for months and it never caused a problem like that. Of course, I didn't have a partition set up on it.

I've literally left the settings for speed in daemon controller alone, although i'm still learning and not sure if they are default overclocked or not?
Possibility with the SD card, i'll give it a try for sure, that'd mean i'd have to revert to an alternate ROM would it, as Aurora specifies an ext4 partition?
Thanks again though, it's a start at least
Do you set profiles in SET CPU?

Excuse noobie brain here, where will i find those CPU settings?
If so, fully wipe and install again. And what rom are you using currently that causes freeze?

Aurora V4.1 ROM i'm using. Don't think it's the ROM itself as i have had it stable for week or so, before swapping SD card from 4gb to 16gb.
I'm thinking this may be the root cause as i've just tried a complete fresh partition with Gparted & fresh install of literally just the ROM itself and on first boot it froze again. Rebooted and now seems to be stable with nothing reloaded back on it but we'll wait and see. If it freezes again i'll try my 4gb card. Didn't want to revert back to that as its only class 2.
[Q] Noob help - Rooted desire keeps freezing.! Update...!
UPDATED - Still getting same problems - have now tried a different SD card & alternative ROM (Cool3d v5).
Is it possible it could be heat related fault? The more i use the phone the more readily it happens - from the occasional freeze (okay after reboot) to complete freeze and no response on every reboot.
Does the CPU therefore have a cut out or could be freezing based on the settings that are initially loaded through daemon controller? What are safe settings for the min/max values?
Only other thing i've noticed is once fault starts to occur - clearing dalvik cache in recovery is quite unresponsive - menu holds before allowing me to clear.
Got to get to the bottom of this - don't want to revert back to original, or throw my phone in the river!!
Save clock is 1ghz. No over clock is the safest.
Do your phone wear case? If yes, it may be the caused of heat.
I'm sure the rom caused you the freeze. You can try to change a more stabler rom, eg aosp

Bit more progress - as my phone literally would freeze on loading home launcher, i connected it to pc and mounted via recovery - and deleted everything i could see for V6 SUPERCHARGER - and hey presto, very slowly, but phone booted up and is now working again.
I see the devs of V6 say about removing hardtokill if any lags occur - i think it's this portion of the script affecting my bravo.
SO, i'm going to run it totally without V6, and may try to just run the memory portion, but the instructions to disable hardtokill are a little unclear to me, could you guys tell me in simple terms how to acheive??
Thanks again for all your responses, a great help
V6 now off and all fresh re-installed with cpu max turned down also, and set to ondemand gov, will see how we go
[Q] Noob help - Rooted desire keeps freezing.! PT3.!
Still no joy with this issue guys - pulling my hair out now - after a few hours use (usually overnight) phone just freezes, then freezes on reboot, before getting worse and now will not pass alpharev's boot screen.
Installing fresh gets me into home launcher, but becomes unresponsive and freezes again.
I've tried different ROM's, different SD's, basic clean install, all without any luck. I'm thinking now it is more a hardware issue with the phone?

Did you wipe data/cache partitions/dalvik cache before flashing the rom? Did you wipe dalvik cache and cache partitions after flashing the rom?
Yep all wiped before and after.

Have you tried flashing a new kernel?
Yep fault happens with any kernel I've tried (so far 0.9c no2way havs cfs, also 2way version, 0.8f cfs havs, 0.7c)

Has your device went through any physical damage (around the time the problem started)?
No physical damage apart from the battery cover being pulled off more than once(!) and a lot of obscenities being flung it's way, lol! But no, not dropped or damaged at all.
I've used the phone now all afternoon, longer than normally, with the same details on same hboot, but left some of the sense widgets off the home launcher, and it hasn't locked up once.
