Froyo with a2sdext?

I am desperately searching for a froyo rom with working a2ext. I HATE froyos a2sd FAT32. But after hours of trying to get firerats (awesome) scripts to work, I need another way. My problem with those scripts iit fails cuz I don't have enough room in /system. I tried deleting boot anim, ringtones, even removing apps from the rom and gapps zip and nothing works.
TIA

Try This
it is the galaxyslide 1.0 rom by infinitybiff but with aps2ext ready to run
just download a terminal app and
$ su
Click always allow with super user
# cd /system/bin/
# sh a2sd reinstall
Things
will
pop
up
# phone will reboot
when restarted go back into terminal
$su
# cd /system/bin/
# sh a2sd cachesd
more
things
pop
up
#phone reboots
reboot may take 5min + this is ok dont worry
now when phone finally reloads you have aps2ext running
(also these commands can be run using adb just make sure phone is in clockwork mod recovery with system mounted! it is not required as i have tested this both ways and everything seems to work fine either way. if one way doesnt then try the other way)
All this is made possible by infinitybiff for the rom and the creator of the darktremor apps2sd method
if you want say the latest nightly instead of this let me know i can cook that up for you

also are you running the scripts from a terminal app or via adb on your comp? the reason it pops up not enough memory is because system is not able to mount as rw while not in recovery so it pops up not enough memory no matter what you remove. best way to run the scripts is to reboot phone into the clockwork recovery and mount system to your computer
then
adb remount
adb shell
sh /directory/with/script/firerat-patch183b.txt a2sd
it will do its job
the only real issue i have with the script is that it will not put the dalvik-cache onto the ext partition since it reads the phone as a mytouch.
This is the latest nightly 9/19 with aps2ext for those that want the stock cyan with aps2ext. its darktremor method again so the commands are the same as whats posted i the 2nd post

your welcome. thats also my biggest issue with froyo at the moment so i did a little research and found a way to fix it. if need be pm me and i can edit any rom you would like to try to allow aps2ext
check the sig and click the image and it will show you the process i use to include aps2ext into a rom.

Hmmmm i tried it running chromatic slide v1.4 and it through me into a bootloop well i think.. It wasnt complete bootloop but just the animation. So I rebooted and did a wipe and reinstalled rom and it works fine or appears to be..
Strange..

V6 Supercharge issue

So after using Odin back to Eclair, updating to EC05, rooting, updating to EI22, flashing Thunderhawk III, I reinstalled script manager and tried to run V6 Supercharger. Looking through the script I see what looks to be like some errors, and quadrant scores are low. I don't believe the script is running correctly. I re downloaded the script, tried again, and still no go. Any ideas what may be going on? See thumbnails. Thanks everyone

I had the same problem.. This is what fixed it for me:
Get BusyBox Installer from the market (by JRUMMY16), install 1.18.2 to the /system/bin and the /system/xbin folders. Now try it again.

Yup... Busybox Error. If the market dl fix don't work, its the rom.

Root explorer to copy/paste to both folders after dl?

Nevermind, I see the installer allows you to choose where to install

[App] S Voice from SGS3 *patched apk*

S Voice app from Samsung Galaxy S 3
Note: seems to work on ICS 4.0.4 Roms ONLY.
S Voice app- "Network Error" Fix w/o Changing your build Prop
Note: If you are getting a blank white page for mediafire in your ICS browser, hit the menu key and look for "request desktop version"

nice ... looks like s3 got a "siri"

It works on s2 also

I tried to install the apk on E4GT but the install failed, any ideas?

Tried to push to system not enough memory any ideas

I'm not sure, I'm on CM9, I installed it normally by just opening apk on phone thru file explorer.
Maybe apk downloads with error
here's a .rar file you will need to extract then install

Thank you so much im0rtalz; this is awesome. Just installed it on my E4GT running AOKP Build 36 with the FE16 kernel and FE16 modem. It works flawlessly except for one thing: If you try to change the "Wake up command" the app will force close and you'll need to clear cache and data to re-launch S Voice.
Thank you so much again!!!

Are you on ICS? I hearing it's for ICS Roms only, not gingerbread.

worked fine for me, might be the s3 is running 4.0.4 already, observing all the replies on here every1 that has success so far is on a 4.0.4 kernel, might be why, i don't know just guessing

I also tried tar or apk and i get a failed to install message, I'm on stock rooted FE16....

I think you're right. That's what I'm seeing too.

Won't install on gingerbread confirmed. The Flip board app works good though

im on fe16, first install of apk gave me a bunch of FCs. so i unistalled but also then unstalled vlingo, then reinstalled and it works now.... so maybe vlingo was causing it to crash or maybe bad install.

The same thing happened to me. I then moved the apk to system/app using es explorer , did a restart and the app appeared in my program list. It works great. I am using fe16 rom.
EDIT: After using this app for a little while, I found that it was not answering my questions like jayhaper08 was showing in next post. I did have Vlingo installed and it was using it for the searches. Even though the apk says voicetalk it should install as S Voice. I uninstalled Vlingo and was then able to install S voice as a regular apk without having to move it to system/app. I now get correct answers to my questions.

Working and installed fine for me in CM9 Alpha4. Just don't try to change the "Hi Galaxy" wake up phrase. It will force close. Loving it so far.
---Jay--- From the CM9 powered E4GT

Tried to reply on the thread in general but it disappeared. lol
This installs fine on Blu Kuban but only gives a blank black screen when you open it then force closes.
Okay taking into account what jay said about trying to change the "Hi Galaxy" line, which of course I tried to do on install. I uninstalled, then reinstalled and now it's working like a champ!
Thanks im0rtalz and jay!

Try uninstalling then placing in system/app using root explorer and see if that works. I'm thinking about going back to ics Blu Kuban to try this lol

Terminal emulator reboots?

I do recall in terminal emulator I used to be able to "su" and then "reboot recovery", straight to recovery I would go. Maybe my memory is foggy and perhaps it was my nexus one and G2 that did it and not this phone. I think at one point it worked on this device, now It just returns "sh: reboot: not found" . Was this perhaps something that changed from GB/ICS? Any insight would be helpful. Thanks

Nope it works great. I just checked it on my ICS build

In order for it it work there has to be the reboot binary in sbin and xbin. If reboot isn't working in terminal check those direcotories and make sure there is a reboot. If it isn't there. Find a ROM that has it and copy the file into both directories and set permissions. Not sure right off what the permissions are but look at the permissions of a file already in there and set the new file to the same.

cool thanks for the info. ill look and see but if memory serves me correct it hasn't worked on any custom ics that ive ran yet. i still cant remember if blazer on GB did it or not.

It is something being removed, rather than added, as it works in stock ICS (and GB) using the ODIN OneClicks.

cool thanks for the heads up mr. hub. just throwing this out there but i can recall a time back when i would flash most custom roms there was a t.emu that showed in sayyy titanium backup but couldnt be run. i would generally download a 2nd t.emu from the play store like the one in the pic and the reboot commands worked. im currently on frankenstein ego rom and upon fresh flash there is no t.emu showing in titanium backup. Like previous times i just grabbed it from play store and it was a "no go". could that be the issue of what is being taken away?
just wanted to throw this pic up because this is deff different than the "root" response i used to get.

Do this..
su

ln -s /sbin/recovery /system/bin/reboot
mount -o remount,ro /system
reboot recovery
Or something like that..
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA

thanks chris, that did it. anybody have any thoughts on that 2nd pic i posted? with the "whoami" it used to always return "root" up until about the same time i noticed the reboot issue. i guess that one confuses me because i tuped "su" and the superuser allow/deny popped up and i clicked allow as isual. so with knowing that it seems odd to me that "whoami" returns "unknown". is that the same issue that was stopping the reboot command? sorry guys, i know its not real important it just helps me understand a little better about how things work.

[Q] build.prop edits

Hopefully just a quick and dirty question. I used esfile's note editor to edit the wifi scan interval on my build prop and it somehow caused AOKP to fail to boot. I fixed the issue and am running fine now, but can anyone recommend a safe way to edit the build prop while actually on Android?

I've used Rom Toolbox Pro to change my scan frequency without any issue. I have not tried on AOKP though.

I'm sure that it had something to do with the editor I was using. In the past, I would copy to internal, edit on PC, then push back to system. Esfile probably muffed up the formatting because when I rebooted, I got constant black screen after Samsung logo. A quick Odin of EL29 with cwm and a reflash of AOKP and all is well. But, I'd still like to be able to manually edit build prop on the device.
I was under the belief that ROM toolbox was a no no on the e4gt, especially ICS.

ROM toolbox mostly ok. ROM manager not ok
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

As stated above it ROM Manager that will not work with this phone on GB or ICS. Using it to load CWM on your phone can brick your phone. Rom Toolbox hasn't bricked a phone to my knowledge. It has caused bootloops when changing boot animation and fonts through it on ICS though. I haven't had any issues with changing build props on ICS though, but again I have not tried it on AOKP/AOSP/CM9 ROMs.

ROM toolbox worked well, thank you. Also, I guess the best benefit from this thread is clarification between ROM toolbox and ROM manager. Much appreciated!

Can anyone enlighten me as to why ROM Toolbox is the only thing that seems to work? I to have tried the ES File Explorer method, which worked perfect on my Evo 3D, but on E4GT it sticks at Samsung boot screen. I then booted into recovery, did adb pull, edited file on PC, and adb push back to phone. After rebooting I checked build.prop and it did not reflect the changes, just default settings (and yes I made sure to save the changes before pushing).
I unfortunately have only had the phone a week and it was shipped with FF18, so not sure what behavior was like before update. Pre-ICS, were you able to make manual edits to build.prop without issues?

Did you try wiki rootzbox? But unfortunately it's a paid app. You can ask first about your device compatibility from the dev before you buy it. Afterall it's created by Aokp rom dev.

I went ahead and got ROM Toolbox and it did work, I'm just curious as to why it works but a manual edit does not.

I believe es file inserts hidden stuff.

Perhaps, but like I said it worked on my 3d so why not here? And also curious why the adb push method fails.

Think i may have forgot it the first time, which may be why I booted back in with default values. But then again it did say adb push was completed. The second time i tried adb and made sure to remount first it resulted in stuck at boot again. Since ROM toolbox worked it's not a big deal anymore, but curiosity is still eating at me...
