[Tester Needed] s2efix -> Making your device support S2E :D - Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660
Hey guys,
I'm one of S2E translators (Italian one ) and I'm proud of my job; I'd use anytime S2E but I had problems with ext corruption.
So, I managed to obtain a little script to avoid this.
For me it works; it's written to avoid ext4 tunefs tune up. If someone could test (use s2e without and with the script) I'd be glad.
So, here it is: s2efix
Waiting hopefully for testers and reports.

Yup!
But I think that your CM7 has already that fix.
Can you check if is present in your '/etc/init.d' folder a '02gio' file?
I'm sorry... But as far as i know, cm already support for S2E right?
Using it always on my phone before i know other script....

Yes of course, S2E only works on cyanogenmod. But sometimes it doesn't works well on some cyanogenmod based rom, I had it my self, sometimes after reboot I can't open my apk and it's has weird icon. And I'm gonna share this on my group, hopefully there is some one there that would test this
About the init.d folder i checked but actullay i didnt mention tht the rom i have is a port from ace so it has 02cooper
Edit: Do I have to flash this zip to avoid corrupt of ext?

To tell the truth i quite face some minor problems on s2e like sometimes my phone gets total freeze and i need to take out the battery n when i do my phone boots like as if i did a factory reset so i have to restart my phone to fix it and sometimes when i flash a new rom i have to make a partion again using cwm any suggestions?

Old versions do note have tunefs and so no ext corruption.
For lag, on my Gio works like a charme with also data2sd.
Maybe depends on sd class or on a too big ext...

So what your suggest for ext size? I usually partition it to 1GB for ext4 on my 8GB class 10
1gb for ext it's to big for me... Imo..
I just set only 600mb, and it's enough for me...

I can test! what i gotta do?
Backup everything, in order to restore later, with a nandroid backup.
Your sd-ext must be ext4.
After this:
- Wipe all
- Install CM7/9/10
- Boot into phone
- Install S2E, configure it with ext4
- Reboot, so it's enabled
- Try installing some apps
Theorically it'll lags like hell.
After wipe and do all the above but flash CM and my fix.
And, please, report logcats.

This will be out of the topic . Every time I do restore, my sd ext reverted to ext3. Is it just me or everybody else experienced the same thing?

Cant mount system in CWM
Hi I cant mount system to make backups.. Anyone knows how to fix?? Im running gioprio 1.4 Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium
That happened to me, when I was using the "stock" cwm with CM7.1. I had to flash another cwm which came with the rom. Maybe you should look around if the Giopro rom has one too. (Or just simply try to flash a newer version)
I will try, do you know if gioprio uses rfs or ext4 file system?? Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium
I never used it, so I have no idea. But this post suggests, there are problems with ext4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21281244&postcount=392 The changelog however says, 1.4 supports EXT3/EXT4

Link2sd is also a great alternative but many find it annoying that it atill shows low memory thingy sometimes... If you are using any CM rom i'd want u to go for int2ext for sure.

Based on the ROM you select apps/app data/ dalvik cache etc will be moved automatically when you flash the ROM or when you activate the a2sd script in the ROM.

I noticed one of the biggest problems with storage is that apps that do save stuff to SD card were still saving to internal storage. For example Titanium Backup was set to save to storage card but was saving to an internal storage folder called "External Storage". That app has specific setting to move the backups which saved me over a GB of space. I'll try ExtSd2InternalSd next time I upgrade ROMs.

Click to collapse Just remember that your "internal" storage actually becomes your sdcard and your sd-external is your internal built in memory... so is reverse. For example when you use your camera for the first time it will ask to storage on your external..but remember that your external is no longer that but rather your internal, so if you want pics saved on your new "internal" choose no. save to phone.

Got my 64 gig class 10 sd card Monday, and clean flashed Jedi Master 7 with Perseus kernel then this mod and it works great! I have every app, game, emulator, GPS program installed and still have 40 gigs left. Phone runs awesome too. No more storage worries or making room for new apps.

I could be wrong but I think the mid has to be installed after clean flash and before the initial reboot after the Rom has been flashed. I flashed Rom, kernel then the mod then reboot. No issues with this method. Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
