A2SD relevance - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

Should we leave our sd partitioned for future a2sd or is it a thing of the past with this much internal?

No need to ever need a2sd on this phone unless you are just a hoarder.

Waiting for s-off to get this going. I gave conap the original code back when he had an Eris. However, we do have a different emmc layout and I need to see exactly how all the partions are utilized.

dont forget that the incredible has more NAND than our evos so we'll probably only be able to get 2-3 roms at once but i still would love this

I originally had a dual boot script for the Hero, then tried to create a universal script for multiple phones. Most of my testing was done on an EVO, but I had so many problems with it. Parts of it would work then I would make changes to fix the other problems and then that created other problems. I haven't given up, but once I knew I was getting an EVO 3D I halted all work on it until I could mess around with this phone.
EVO 3D SPECIFIC:
Now I'm just waiting for an unlocked phone. Making a script phone specific is much easier, but all my previous work was done for muliple phones, We actually quite a bit of free internal space that isn't used by anything. I'm looking at either repartitioning or just using existing partitions that we already have.
I might return to making an EVO specific script after I get this one going.

When will we see App2SD built into roms?

Coming from an EVO4G, I've been pretty used to App2SD script being built into the roms and being able to load all my apps on sd for more space. When would we be seeing this on Evo3D? I realized that the custom recovery after S-off, I don't see an Partition SD type setting.

IMO the EVO 3d already has more than enough built-in space for apps

Why?
The internal memory along with stock Apps2sd should be good enough.
I couldn't imagine needing it.
Just move apps to your sd card that aren't there by default in the settings

not the same thing, the built in one I have found does not work as well as the dt app2sd or the cm app2ext mods.
With a gig of storage and stock A2SD, you'll be fine. I never understood the hate for stock A2SD.
A2sd has one real benifit IMO. You don't have to reload everything after installing a new ROM.its all just there.

I'm really surprised at the amount of ROMS that we've gotten in such a short time. I can just imagine what it will be like 2-3 months from now.

thats not how it works... the data is saved to ext2/3/4 partition... not the entire install. if you wipe, you will still have to restore.
So here's what I do. I install TiBu, and install link2SD. I go to settings in TiBu, and make sure installs all to internal. Open up l2sd, and select ext4 (its what i use). Go into l2sd settings, and make it auto link everything. Reboot. Restore all apps with data with TiBu, and at the same time link2SD restores all...
However, I'm running into a problem with ROMs where I can't see the apps after reboot.

Smartwipe utility. That is all.

This will simply wipe your BOOT, SYSTEM, DATA, and CACHE partitions quickly and effectively, for use prior to flashing a new Rom on your EVO3D.
No more, no less.
You won't lose browser bookmarks, favorites, etc. if they are kept in your android_secure folder, and you won't wear out your EMMC by unnecessarily over-erasing it.
If you don't like it, don't flash it.

lolwut? changing channel on TV will break it too?
thanks btw, quick and to the point... but for clarity... formatting or flashing will not damage anything...unless you flash a wrong radio / hboot or power down in midst of it.
i mean after flashing it 845,214,789 im sure you had it too long and it will break.

Stock firmware sdcard-ext question

So the moto devices put the external SD card under mnt/sdcard-ext as everyone here knows. I'm wondering if there is any method to:
1. Have apps like rhapsody use the external card for downloading music
2. Remap using external for things like Gameloft games data
I am rooted and I've been looking at solutions - alsso know that non stock will allow for changing mount points completely, but not quite there yet.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

OK. I see what to do to swap. Rather then swapping it, is there a "better" mount point for the external so that programs like rhapsody would use it properly? I assume using a bind command from shell would be enough to get the Gameloft games moved.... right? Or do most people simply swap internal with external?
Thanks.
Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk
I'm curious too, been wondering this for a while but never thought to ask on here.
Is there a step by step guide for doing this or is it going to be too complicated for someone not familiar with coding.? I would love to accomplish this.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
vold.fstab is located in the system/etc folder. You must be rooted to see it. You can change where the mount point is for the external SD card. How to do it is pretty straightforward based on reading the file and Googling. My question is specific to how 'mother's devices deal with the external card and how software like amazon mp3, rhapsody, etc store data to the external SD and how remapping the external SD on the photon would best allow those apps to use the microSD successfully.

Well that would be something the app developers would have to do. The vold.fstab trick is to trick everything in to thinking their switched. Not really a permanent solution. Try contacting the app devs and give as much info as possible including mount points

Lol question is was she actually talking about sdcards lol jk
To get slightly back on topic , I was wondering if someone could spell out exactly how to do aa 'junction' (this would be the windows term for it) where you have an invisible link for the OS to follow from one place to the next. So instead of modifing the root files,instead running an app that manages it or a script at boot that would allow it. Again - on stock firmware if that matters.

I thought it was a faster type of file system or something.
It's a touch based (although there is a classic style) recovery system that allows for theming, an animation when backing up or restoring....and also can charge while running.....very sleek and with lots of options...I had it on my incredible2 works great....

I had read somewhere at some point that it was available as long as you had soff. I can't for the life of me remember where I seen that, but damn the luck... Now we have soff and I can't find where I found it. Hopefully the dev will pick up the rez pretty quick. Really loved that recovery...

Honestly, I want RZRecovery. Had that on my thunderbolt and it still is my favorite recovery. Backups and restores were incredibly fast in comparison to CWM, AR, TWRP. But I can't seem to even find a download for them anymore.
