After hours of experimenting... finally... AD2SDX on XPERIA NEO
thanks nakchea for informing me about init.d support
thanks for adiktz for informing me about ext4 as requirement
and thanks to adridu59 for answering many of my questions
thanks for the developer of this mod
original thread by amarullz
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310309
and to ShyamSasi
as my basis that this will also work on or XPERIA NEO
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1333379
heres the port of this MOD for NEO.
REQUIREMENTS:
-Bootloader Unlocked
-Inteks Kernel
-Stock .42 rom of xperia NEO
-Root
-Busybox
-CWM
-sd card with 2 partition (for normal use of sd and the other one is EXT4)
-make sure u put this mod on your sd card after making 2 partition
-remove your sim card (ill xplain later why [Note1])
PART 1
ok heres what i did
I have my .42 rom, i installed root, busybox & cwm here.
I reboot my phone to CWM recovery
clear/format data, cache, sd-ext
Then i make a Backup of rom (its a fresh rom now cuz u format data, cache, sd-ext)
Then i format system after backup (so everything is clear now - system, data, cache, sd-ext)
PART 2
Then restore/flash your rom again using CWM.
After restore dont exit CWM without flashing this mod. (You should flash your clean rom and this mod on the cmw recovery at the same time)
PART 3
then boot.
first boot will bootloop 4-7 times then it will boot normaly. [Note1]
restart phone. it will bootloop again 4-7 times.
then look at your appmanager.
you'll see its working...
you can now insert your sim
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Note1] ok heres why we need to remove sim card
At the moment after normal booting
"WITH" sim card - boots into this (look at first picture below) without no progress, you will stuck in here.
To prevent this we must remove sim
"WITHOUT" sim this will happen again but only for 3-5 minutes then it will bring you to your homescreen
after 2 sucessive boot, you can now insert your sim and everyting is normal now with this mod
look at the second picture for the result...

Does it work with other kernels or it only works on inteks kernel?

Ok I have a problem here, I tried to format everything again via cmw and im trying do it again for verification that this is realy working.
But why it bootloops again continuosly,abt half an hr waiting but it bootloops only. thats the question I wil try to find out. Am I just lucky to do that Yesterday night? Or theres a bug? Or I just did somting wrong now I tried it again? This project is not yet perfect but everyone can try. Post here your xperience using this mod. If sumone can make it work again, please share things on how u did it. Thanks.
To protocol11, just found some info that for this to work, u need a kernel dat suport init.d and ext4.
Lin2SD is more easier
Link2sd links only apk and dalvik. But with dis mod the data partition can be moved at sd card. Look at the 2nd pic of my post, dont u want to have that storage? U can resize dat dpending on how much partition u made on ext4.
I have only got this to work a few times also / more times ending up with strange results
Sent from my MT15i using xda premium
this script was not stable that's why i settled with link2sd
ok thanks to your comments, so its not only me xperiencing this effects. ok i'll try to find out some solution for dis to work on just a first try.
Does it bootloop everytime we restart phone or just first few times?
apps in internal memory is much stable and battery saved than in card. so no need to move all data to card,especially data in /data/data . move apk and dalvik is enough
Flash neo v ftf excluding kernel.. That will increase internal memory
What's the problem with link2sd?
It's much better.
Sent from my MT11i using xda app-developers app
what about internal 400mb partition...
You could try to root the device and make the complete installation in that SD card or limit u r memory space and also try making a separate partition .....

has anyone tried a bigger data.img than 512MB?
using this tool to resize the data.img to say 1GB, with z's script?
I have just created a 1 GB img and testing it on wolf's latest v05 with 53 patch!
I will update if anything goes wrong! so far looks safe!~
I have just created an xrecovery with 1GB. it's basically z's script with data.img resized to 1GB.
All the credits to Z and the other dev's who involved in data2sd development.
Steps: (You should install this with a fresh ROM installation, don't flash in xRecovery on a previously installed ROM)
free x10 z's rom:
1, Boot into xRecovery, do a factory reset, clear cache and in advanced wipe dalvik and battery stats.
2, Install FreeX10-beta4.zip through xRecovery
3, Reboot and wait until radio and data works(it may reboot autmatically)! don't boot into xRec until you saw the radio working and it's stable.
4, Do nothing now just boot into xRecovery and install the gapps_FreeX10.zip via xRecovery don't reboot install the FreeX10-data2sd.zip without rebooting.
5, Reboot and wait for sometime till it settles down. Then install all the hotfixes, patches, new market etc.
wolf's rom:
1, Boot into xRecovery, do a factory reset, clear cache and in advanced wipe dalvik and battery stats.
2, Install CM 6.1.3 [v05].zip via xRecovery
3, Without rebooting install the CM Update v053.zip
4, Now install the FreeX10-data2sd.zip without rebooting.
5, Reboot now and wait for somtime till it settles down. Then you can install all the patches, themes and new market etc.
If you reboot in between, you'll end up in a reboot loop. So don't reboot before installing data2sd while installing wolf's rom! In z's freex10 reboot only once after the rom.
Don't restore data from xRecovery. Do a fresh install for optimal performance.
Even though I am testing with a Class 2 SD, minimum of class 4 or 6 is recommended
also I'm following this method to bulletproof my launcher!(Experimental try on your own, and please don't modify this file.)
I've attached the local.prop
use
"adb push local.prop /data"
or you can try installing using the zip file for xRecovery!
(I would suggest using the adb method)
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damage to your phone or data loss. Please do a complete backup of your sdcard and apps before trying it out.
note to mod's: please move this to dev or app threads if it's not appropriate in Q&A
Good luck on your quest.
Can you try if it work on Series 2 SD?
FYI! I am right now testing on my old class2 card only!
any good news?
will post the screens of benchmarks soon!
here are the screens!

score might've take a hit due to class2
my class 6 8GB used to give me in the region of 2600 in quadrant.
this is my titanium, here you can see the internal storage space!
This seems great. NOW IS THE BIG QUESTION: HOW IT HANDLES WOLFBREAK ROM???
Does it lags or freezes as Z data2sd?
it's running smooth with no crashes almost for around 18 hours! the no crash and smoothness may be due to wolf's effort as well.
I am running the bulletproof home tweak and imported the fugu's tweak files in the rom zip of wolf.
when you are ready I can give it a try!!!
can you make it just Z zip file so I can installed it via xrecovery?
updated the zip files on my first post!
I am having some problems here. I got no service after installind data2sd.
plus now you cannot unmount sd card as the phone just reboot itself.
you installed data2sd on a fresh rom or a previously installed rom?
i followed your procedure letter by letter. i have been installing, flashing ROMS since I enter to XDA.
Still, now I am trying to give it a second chance. but the fact that the rom get's installed in the SD, mounting SD in PC will make the phone reboot.
go into xRec and partition tools, mount usb storage!
delete the data.img in the xRecovery folder!
no the ROM is not installed in SD, it's only the data partition...
ok. Just trying it once again. hope better luck this time
Still I do believe that you have done a great job.
p.s got service now. trying with the rest how it reacts etc etc etc. i also downloaded and installed your prop file.
oh okay! that's good! which ROM you are testing with?
if still it's not working, download the data2sd again from the first post! I have added a new file.
I am using Wolfbreak last rom. with respective update...
I am also using the wolf's rom! it's working fine for me.
hope you are understanding that this is all testing stuff!
data2sd will put more strain on your sd card than app2sd or others. just test this on your old/soon to be dead SD! if you like the performance and stability then try this on your regular SD!
Erm. sorry...i just wan ask sth b4 trying it. I tried data2sd(without changing anything) using class2...and it lag like hell.
So..by changing the storage, or size like u did, is there any laggness? or isit smooth n fast?
I am planing to buy a 32gb class 10 card very soon.
what's the joy of trying something new if you can not from the old experiences and mistakes
hi guys
the one day i was using minicm7pro v21 with zp kernel
i switched to try flame.gdx ics did all the wipes but surprised that some of the apps still there and when i tried to update any i had to remove then reinstall

i tried going back to stock kernel and then rom+kernel
i still cant , i went back to gdx v17 and now on gentonic.se 2.5.1 (the apps where always there) i tried delete them and the flash rom again i install sm apps , the same !!
i installed sm apps and then the same i cleared cache/dalvik cache i tried marketfix and the method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16038744&postcount=13 (or smthn like it)
nothing works i always end up the same place , please please i need help

Which kernel do you have cause doom kernels install the wifi modules with the zip package so no need to install it separately.

Partitioning SD card deletes data right? :\
i wrote this script, cause i try this script but it's seems only works for stock ROM only...
so, how about CM9 based users? don't worry... you can use this script to swapping your real SDcard to Internal storage ^^

Flash this zip into CWM, fix permission and wipe dalvik cache... and enjoy the real SDCard

1. yes you can, it's an universal CM9 script and don't worry about version or your CM9
2. no, it's will not formating your external SDCard! it's only swapping your internal with SDCard
3. automatically.
4. it's will be inverted on explorer... so, your Internal Storage will be read on 16 GB and SDCard will be read on 4 GB
5. no, it moved to /sdcard!

no change.
Since we are moving vold.fstab to system/etc can't we just follow these steps below?
1.Make backup of original vold.fstab. Using root explorer or es file explorer make a copy of the vold.fstab in some other place and rename it to something else.
2.copy the modded vold.fstab (modded by itachilinux) to system/etc and set right permissions.
3.reboot phone
will try, on fxp216.
:fingers crossed:
Is this script working?
