[FIX] A2SD Amarullz - Xperia Play Android Development

Well, all of you know that A2SDX by Amarullz didnt work for us!
I got it working very well (not buggy) on my Play here are the steps you have to do:
1. Make a clean Flash of your FTF .42 or .62
1.1 Format your SD Card with EXT4 as Primary
2. Boot Phone completly
3. Flash DoomKernel or any other kernel with init.d support
4. Boot Phone completly
5. Install BusyBox ( I have 1.18.2 its quiet good )
6. Reboot into Recovery
7. Flash Amarullz Script
Hope it works for you!

Does it still need to fix permissions after you reboot?

What is this? Is it like link2sd? I use link2sd right now

Yes in a way but even better with this mod you can use ext4 from sd card (any size you want i believe)as internal memory. Last time i used this on gb i had 4gb internel!

Maybe if you restart your device at second time, but with doomkernel v13 i dont have to fix permissions every boot again

im gonna test on ics beta with doomv2 ics kernel and report back results
EDIT: DIDNT WORK ONLY GOT BOOTLOOPS. but im gonna try wit doomkernel v14 as that update has zram

Make a NAND befor you do this

strange enough, the first boot after flashing this i lost all network connectivity, and after i rebooted it again i got random reboots

Reboot again and Fix Permissions.. Do you have EXT4 Partition as Primary??

The last time i used Amarullz's A2SD, i had to fix permissions every time i rebooted, or else i wouldn't have any network.
That's a major inconvenience.
Has this been fixed?

i dont know.. i have installed busybox before installing this script and it worked fine for me... sometimes you have to read the original thread complete

I've been on CM7 by almost a week now, and I can tell you it's amazing. Very smart rom, lots of customizations possible, gingerbread based...
The only side effect is that it's still on beta stage. This means that has a list of medium and small bugs that could upset the phone user. It depends on what kind of user you are. If you like to try new features and don't mind encountering some little issues, then I recommend you to give it a shot
For any reference, question, problem, read the CM7 thread in the development branch.
hey thanx then i will try today xda rocks...!!!!!!!
CM 7 is awesome!!! But still there are some bugs in beta 1.1 like after a call, sometimes the screen turns black and returns to usable state after a minute or so. There are some bugs in DSP manager and hardware decoding of videos don't work. But remember it is still beta, so no complaints

can anyone help me ?
sorry for my bad english
@xzet2
I too had the same problem. Here's what I did :
(First wipe all cache, dalvik, android.secure (?) , factory...etc.)
1) Reboot in recovery
2) Flash the format.zip ( or better yet, the Debug-FormatSYSTEM.zip )
3) Flash cm7 beta2
4) Reboot into CM7 beta2
5) Reboot into recovery
6) Flash gapps
7) Reboot into CM7 beta7
Hopefully, it'll work.
Can any of the CM7 users tell me what all is different in it as compared to normal 2.2/2.2.1 ROMs?
Awsome 2.3 for Optimus One
Hello to all,
Great build of Gingerbread for P500H.
Just installed last night and seems to be great.
For tethering, download Android Wifi Tether from Market.
So far no black screen issues.
Gps getting a faster lock then with original rom.
However, bluetooth still seems not to work properly.
Thanks a bunch
My device, Opti one from Telus unlocked and using Bell

Hi, I have question about CM7. When I want upgrade from .void and save some kind of image of my system, can I do it without consequences? I mean make nand backup, flash CM7 and when wont like it I could return back to void and use it as before using restore nand backup am I right?

Hi, yes, it is possible, I have the same option of going back, I also used .void, and wanted to try CM7, but I was very impressed by .void ROM, and I have just finish all customizations, so I didn't want to loose it all. Here's what you need to do:
Start phone in recovery, and try to make nand backup (nand + ext + .android_secure) but what happened to me, it wrote an error and that I have to make it via adb shell. You will find how to install adb here:
addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/
(Sorry, I'm still quite new to forum, so I can't post it as link)
When you have adb, run cmd and type (Phone must be connected and in recovery mod, and have to have mounted /system - but I'm not sure about mounting ):
"adb devices" - you should see your devices with serial number.
"adb shell"
"nandroid-mobile.sh -b" - this will start backup to your SD card into "nandroid" folder
When you have your backup done, you can start flashing CM7. I wiped data+cache, then flashed "Debug-FormatSYSTEM.zip" from CM7 thread, flashed CM7 itself, restart your phone and you should be running CyanogenMod
note: if you want to flash Google apps (I assume you would), you have to boot CM7 at least once, because if you flash it immediately after flashing ROM itself, you will see .void booting screen and phone will freeze, and you will have to flash it all again.
And finally, if you'll prefer going back to .void, just restore your backup in recovery mod, and you're back I have two backups, one of .void, one of CM7, and can switch theese ROMs (by restoring backups) in up to five minutes
Hope it helps
Man its awesome. Real speedy. Installed yesterday. I even installed Darktremor a2sd. It is also working cool. Moved cache and data all to my SD.
Cm7 though, does not have titanium backup pre-installed. Rename ur titanium backup folder before u install. I lost mine. Got over written.
Will be testing during week end.
Here is what i did.
Downloaded the 3 files from the first post.
1. Backed up my apps using Titanium.
2. Backed up contacts.
3. Booted into recovery.
4. Connected into PC.(Linux in my case.)
5. Formatted the ext partition to ext4.
6. Deleted the Android folder in the fat partition.
7. Wiped cache, Dalvik Cache, and android_secure from recovery.
8. Copied the 3 files into the fat partition.
9. Copied the Darktremor A2sd zip (Do a google search for "Darktremor a2sd zip" without quotes)
10. Flashed the Debug-FormatSYSTEM.zip and the ROM.
11. Then rebooted.
12. Again Booted into Recovery.
13. Flashed the Darktremor A2sd zip.
14. Reboot and start terminal app.
15. su (to get root access)
16. a2sd cachesd (phone will reboot)
17. a2sd datasd (phone will reboot)
Thats it folks.

Update:
No Black screen after making/receiving phone call.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
Yes, it's great, but there are some small problems with black screen after calls for me, slow GPS and the most important is battery drain. But its still beta and its amazing on the other side. I am looking forward to next steps beta 3 or rc.
I'm testing it too, It's relly great and fast.. but i've found some bugs, hope that devs see this thread as well(I don't have permitions to post on the official thread):
- Black screen after call;
- Do not save the keyboard selection over reboots(I have to activate a select every boot)
- Can't connect to eduroam, don't know why tho..
EDIT: GPS icon is not showing on status-bar.
I relly apreciate the job done!

[HOWTO] Install Mik's CM 7 Gingerbread port for Dummies

DUMMIES, FOLLOW THIS STEPS TO INSTAL MIK_OS GINGERBREAD CYANOGENMOD 7 PORT:
FIRST OF ALL GO HERE AND READ MIK's POST and thank Mik for his work!!!!!!!!!!!!
READ THE CHANGELOGS AND THE KNOWN BUGS!!!!!
Let's suppose you have Froyo on your device and want to go Gingerbread:
- you need: root, custom recovery, and rom zip from here
- boot into recovery, go to backup/restore and do a backup. For your own privet safety, you could use TitaniumBackup before booting into recovery to backup your files and settings.
- while in custom recovery, go to wipe and perform all wipes. WIPE DATA AND CACHE IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM FROYO! Go to adb shell and make a /system wipe (mount /system in recovery; adb shell rm -rf /system/*), or copy this file on sd, and flash it via cusom recovery to automatically wipe your /system data
- after the wipe, put your rom on the sd card - get the beta2 here , and flash it from custom recovery.
- wait until it boots up and set the phone up. If you're stuck on LG logo it means you didn't performe the wipes corectly, mainly the system wipe.
- you will have no google apps after the install, so go here and get them, or manually download them from market
- you now have Mik_os unofficial CyanogenMod 7 2.3.3 on you phone. Install TitaniumBackup and perform a restore if you used this metod to backup your data as i described in the second step.
Now, if you have an older version of Mik's CM7:
-boot into recovery and flash the newer version just like that. It will update the one you have on your device, and no data will be lost.
GO AGAIN TO THE OFFICIAL DEV THREAD AND RE-READ THE BUGS AND CHANGELOGS. AND AGAIN... THANK MIK FOR HIS WORK!!!!!
If you have questions about Mik's port, go to the correct thread and ask them! This is not a developer thread, it is just for info, or for those of you who are new to xda and cannot post in dev threads.
AND AGAIN, THANK MIK FOR HIS WORK, AND BUY HIM A LOLLYPOP VIA PAYPAL.
I have tried your steps but could not install this ROM. It got stuck on the boot animation. An it wasn't CM7 animation. Tried few times but without any luck. Now i am back to my old rom. atleast i did not brick my phone but i will sure give it a another try
You are probabily stuck at the lg logo. You should try to wipe the system manually, by adb or flashing the zip I linked in the original post, in the third step. I had the same problem, but this solves it.

I wasn't stuck on LG Logo. I had Megatron installed, it went through LG logo, then got stuck Megatron's Android Logo. Seems the rom was never installed properly and i have tried few times.
I have wiped everything, i have flashed from the zip you provided, and also i re-partitioned the sd card but it never worked
Did you got any errors when flashing cyanogen zip? From what you said, I think you shoul rewipe everything, part the sd 0 swap, ext 2 to ext3 and ext3 to ext 4. Make sure that you have the check for signed option in custom recovery.

How did you do the system wipe? You flashed the zip for wipeing or did you do it from adb shell?
I have another friend that flashed the /system wipe tool, and forgot to flash the actuall rom zip file, and had the exact simptomes as you described.

I used custom recovery, nandroid back up, then re-partition the sd card. then wiped the card, then usb toggle to copy 2 zips on to sd card. flashed debug system just in case and then flashed mik's rom. I don't know where did it go wrong.
Would have been great if someone made a step by step video and put that on youtube

Yes, I think so. Don't worry about it for the moment. if it worked for you, it will work for me too. I may have missed something that i can't remember. I will give it a try again this weekend
Although if you could give me the Partition requirements. I know the swap should be zero. But how much should i use for ext2?
Ext partiton can be how big you want, it's where a2sd puts the files and other cache info. I use 512 mb, and works flawless.
I will make a video guide in the morning, and link it in the original post.

The link i posted goes to another thread that explains some basic stuff. Including the recovery. But i didn't find any problems using different versions of custom recovery. So go for which one you like more, as long as it can backup your system
1. go in recovery mode
2. wipe everything
3. then go to others
4. mount/system
5. flash the system zip
6. flash the rom zip
7. reboot
it worked for me. hope it helps
Ruwin buddy, you will be happy to know that i am using Mik's rom. I still don't know what went wrong last time. If some thing that i had done differently, that would not upgrading ext3 to ext4.
Thanks buddy for the support and the tips
Thank you very much!!! Will try this today.
Is it possible to get the SMS widget back? The simple one from Market sucks...
Do I need to partition the SD-card?? The directions made no mention of this.
how to enable 3G mode only in this rom ?
Good work, very useful.

[Q] n00b question about A2SD, CM7 beta3, and widgets

hi
i recently flashed the CyanogenMod 7 beta3 found here
I have an issue with my apps, prob. due to the a2sd stuff. i can't see most of my app's widgets, including the messaging widget. maximum annoyance!! when i put other apps such as facebook in the phone memory, the widget appears in the selection screen, but the messaging app was and is in the phone memory all the time..
HELP WILL BE EXTREMELY APPRETIATED
also, i'm planning to make a vid about flashing the cyanogenmod rom to a phone. who's with me!
i'm having problems with darktremor's a2sd too, it seems to be that it's unable to mount/recognize /sd-ext... i've just backed up with TB, re-partitioned and wiped everything, let's see if a fresh flash enables CM 7 b3/a2sd to recognize /sd-ext -.-"
it keeps gettin stuck at the cyanogenmod animation... it's getting me mad!
there was no way for me to get dt's a2sd working on cm7b3... -.-"

Look at the CM7 thread, in the first post is the solution to your problem, you just need to flash a .zip before flashing CM7..

Moved the app to phone memory and worked fine, my bad!
Well, these actions may help you guys "am not sure":
-When installing a widget in CM7, never move it to SD card, it will be only recognized when it's located at phone memory.
-When installing CM7 itself, don't partition your SDcard, just format it using PC or any utility and install CM7 using recovery "so it won't stuck".
-if the stuck thing still happening, download from CM7 topic a Wiper file which will wipe your system setting if wiping is not working on your O1.

Is thera any way to flash CM7beta4(when it's released) and keep all the apps and configs?
EDIT: Sorry, wrong thread.
When i connect the phone to USB, the widget crash, and also the apps i have to move it to SD because they installing in the phone memory. Dont recognize the Partition.
Sorry for my English.
question
my messaging app (stock) is in my memory, and i can access it, but i cannot access the messaging widget. CAN ANYONE HELP?
I'm not that noob, I can follow instructions, I erased /system using adb, and flashed cm7 many times, partitioning (needs to be done to get darktremor's a2sd working) and flashing a2sd every time, it's just that this time just didn't work... I flashed again doing a "fresh install" and got cm7 to load, but there's no way to get a2sd working... Using "native" cm7's a2sd doesn't just move apps to fat32 partition?

If you already have cm7 on the device, flashing the rom's zip file from recovery should be enough ;-)

[Q] Pls guide in installing francos rom n kernal ?

i currently have Megatron v1 rom in my p500
i installed the custom recovery thing and installed the rom and after that i flashed mik_os kernal..
phone is working great from some time now but now i m thinking of updating to franco's as megatron is pretty outdated now + i m getting a new memory card..
so i dont know from where to start ?
pls guide me ?
Hey,
1 : Dload Rom an Kernel .
2 : create backup !!
2.5 : reboot in recovery !!
3 : clear cache , all
4 : create partition as per req
5 : toggle usb
6 : copy rom an kernel , then flash from sd !!
If I missed anything , sorry :!
So i straightaway put in the new memory card and restart into custom recovery and follow the steps u mentioned ??
Some questions/doubts i have.
As i have partioned this current memory card... what files does it hold ?? (Hope i wont face any prob after removing this card)
And should i flash the rom first or the kernal ??
And in francos topic he has menrioned that data2sd thing is not stable yet ??
So what kind of problems are we talking about and is franco's kernal and rom stable altogether ??
I dont like my fone to be stuck after eveylry 5 mins or so .... pls reply...
Nd thanks in advance..
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk
Just put in the new card, reboot into recovery, create the ext partition (the card will be formatted afterwards), wipe everything Franco says in his first post, then toggle USB mode, connect to PC, paste the rom and kernel, exit USB mode, flash the rom, reboot. Then power off, enter custom recovery, flash the kernel, wipe caches, reboot.
Install SetCPU, set 729max - 480min with smartass and set it on boot.
Rest assured, Franco's devoid is a very stable build... you will really be amazed by your phone afterwards. If you want, afterwards you can install all sapps or just the essestial gapps (you can find links in the ROM thread - in the last 2-3 pages).
Thanks for the reply..
One ques remains abt data2sd thing (which is step 1 in his topic)
What steps shud i follow to install that ? Or is it already a part of the rom ?? If not where cn i dl it ? Is it gud ??
Nd i heard there is an altermative (apps2sd) ??
Which one do u recommend ?
Apps2sd is used in megatron rom rite ??
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk
Oh, sorry... I forgot about that!
Neither app2sd nor data2sd is included in the rom, but you can easily flash them in recovery. You will need to enable them afterwards (there's a market app and also a command for the terminal emulator).
Use Darktremor's app2sd, not ungaze's data2sd (since from what I've read, it's pretty buggy with Franco's ROM&kernel).
I don't know what is used in Megatron, but you can find out all you want about app2sd here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670087.
Thanks a lot dude !

sorry i m new
done
hey one last thing
the link u gave to the app2sd topic
it says ***OUTDated*** right in the topic name
so just wanna ask should i install the latest version found here
or is that outdated version only compatible to our phones ??
I apologize, I was in a hurry and provided you with an old link...
The latest versions of Darktremor's app2sd are supported by Franco's rom, so install whichever you like from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926015.
Oh, and from what I've read, Franco also supports ext4 partitions (although I recommend having an SDHC 6 or above card).
ok
so here goes ?
1) Download rom kernal and app2sd image
2) boot in custom recovery (i have RA_thunderg-1.1.0-GNM)
3) Wipe everything (everything rite ?? all the options ?)
4) partition my new sd card (swap: 0, ext: 512, ext2-ext3, then ext3-ext4 it.)
5) Flash the app2sd image file (gonna flash the last stable build.. not latest beta)
6) after its completed straightaway flash franco.devoid rom file
7) after its completed i reboot < chk out the new rom for a moment
8) reboot into recovery again and then flash the kernal
9) Wipe cache (not sure how to do this ??)
10) install set cpu through the link u gave ?
and please afterwards how to make sure the app2sd is working as u said earlier i need to fill in a command or install an app ??
oh before wipe i will create a backup too
what kind of backup do u recommend ?? as there are 5-6 options i guess ??
and should i wipe before or after partioning my sd card ?

I think there is only one option for backup, that's nandroid backup.
Which is there in CWM.

It aso shows options like nand backup, nand+android secure, nand + ext
and then at last they say google something..
So pls suggest ?
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk
You have amon RA, so a simple nand backup will be fine. And after that you can wipe, then partition. I installed DT apps2sd (the beta 4) after flashing the ROM and kernel and it works great. So I guess it's fine.
Lets say I don't want to flash any app2sd or d2sd on my phone and I want only the native a2sd which comes with the ROM. Do I need to create any partitions? Or can I simply skip that step?

No, you don't have to create any partitions in that case.

Yes the mount script is not running automatically on boot. Why is this so? Is there any possible workaround?

No any work around found. Tryied all workaround like installing init.d toggler also no use. So i, flash my cm11 backup. Using cm11 now. (between i dont like lollipop visuals and stock rom is no extra features, not even xposed will work so i use cm12 only when arrive)
After flashing Cm11 i found on the Web that in twrp recovery go to advanced and select fix permission and try mounting link2sd but before you do take full nandroid backup.. If brick happens....

I just installed the latest link2sd update. It first shows partition not mounted then shows an error message and shows the option to recreate mount scripts or quick reboot because the mount script is loaded after system startup and after quick reboot second partition is really mounted. I think after every reboot this quick reboot is necessary , but at least its now working.
And apps2sd is working for all the apps.

What partition you using? .,ext2, ext3, ext4,fat32?
Please tell how you mountend step by step
Are you able to link apps?
I think i found the error guys the problem related to lollipop is older version of lollipop.
By version 4.0 this problem vas solved.. .. Anyone plz try and reportback.. ..
It still doesn't automatically mount the second partition. Boots up, shows the error, after quick reboot, it then starts working. I guess init.d scripts aren't working at all. They are not at all mounted at boot no matter what. Tried init.d toggler, enabler and what not, nothing works at all. Problem is with lollipop probably.

I am using ext4 . And yes I can link apps now. I didn't do anything special. Its just like after booting once it needs to quick reboot once again to mount the second partition and then the linked apps appear. Its still not perfect but its working. I would not suggest to link any important apps , I am only linking games and theme apks etc. so that if something goes wrong it doesn't matter.

What do you mean by this? Are you trying to say that after we have lollipop, we have to go to twrp recovery and fix permissions and then try back link2sd and it would work then? Where did you find this info? Can you please provide the link?

Thanks but I dont think it's gonna work. Problem is not with permissions, problem is that init.d scripts are simply not run at boot at all and until and unless tht happens, nothing can be done. I used a test script which supposed to run at boot but it simply didn't run. I dont know whats going wrong with lollipop. I hope some senior member throws some light upon this issue and I hope the creator of link2sd is also listening.
[solved]
I confirmed that in lollipop build link2sd v4.0 released yesterday only work..
But one roblem there that after reboot u have to quick reboot everytime. This is I think bug in the init.d of the ROM not the link2sd fault...
It's up to mfn subscribers to report this bug as soon to make sure final build will come buggless........
If I am wrong..correct me.
Don't use cracked plus version it won't work

I tried with ext4.. On thing is after restart dont creat another mount script.. simply go to reboot and chose quick reboot. .. .
But my phone restarts itself outta nowhere in every ROM! There was no Xposed module installed nor any other apps who want root permissions (I installed fresh KitKat 4.4.4 but still)
My main point is, it doesn't soft reboot, which makes all linked apps disappear after booting up. Any fix for this? (My phone was fell on the floor once which made it's screen cracked and I can't hear any audio anymore. I put the new screen but... :/ I don't think it'll be related to all of sudden reboots)
