app2sd for spica tutorial

First, you will need a partitioned sdcard, just use paragon partition manager to create fat32 and ext2 partition, create fat32 first then ext2
it’s recommended that you use at least class 4 microsd…

here it is:
#mount -o remount,rw,codepage=utf8,vfat,xattr,check=no /dev/stl6 /system
#busybox df -h –> make sure /sdcard is on /dev/block//vold/179:1
#cd / –> go to root directory
#mkdir /system/sd
#mount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
#busybox df -h –> make sure /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 is mounted on /system/sd, if the mounting process fails you can’t continue…

#mkdir /system/sd/app
#cd /data/app
#cp * /system/sd/app <– if you do fresh firmware update, skip this step
#cd /data
#rm -r app
#ln -s /system/sd/app /data/app

basically app2sd is ended here, but you will lost app2sd every phone reboots, so you’ll need to edit install-recovery.sh, add “mount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd” in the last line…or simply download edited install-recovery.sh here: http://cid-c4b7e1a837cca944.skydrive…ll-recovery.sh

install-recovery.sh is meant to autorun app2sd when phone reboots…

#cd /system
#chmod 0777 etc
#mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.old –> backup the oiriginal install-recovery.sh

#exit
$exit

prompt>adb push install-recovery.sh /system/etc –> push downloaded install-recovery.sh to spica, don’t turn off phone if pushing install-recovery fails!!!

if you wan’t to turn off your phone you’ll need to type:

#mv /system/etc/install-recovery.old /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

to restore install-recovery.sh to the original one…then you can safely turn off your spica…

prompt>adb shell
$su
#cd /system
#chmod 0755 etc
#chmod 0755 etc/install-recovery.sh

reboot to check if it works…
