Guide # LAVA IRIS 402 / 356 # Increase RAM and Internal Memory - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

1. Root Lava Iris 402 / 356 by Framaroot
Select the Framaroot 1.6.1.apk in the below link from your opera mini browser – select save – select open and select install.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130276
Thanks Alephzain
In Framaroot → select Boromir. After success message reboot your phone.
Now you have Root access.
2. Install Busybox
Go to Playstore and Install Busybox by Stephen (Stericson)
Open Busybox give root permission when prompted.
Wait for few minutes to complete smart install analysis, then select install then select smart install without making any changes.
Busybox is needed for executing modifying commands.
3. Increasing Internal Memory for installing more apps
Make 2 partitions in your SD Card as primary partitions using minitool partition wizard in windows / gparted in linux (be careful to change only sd card and not computer partition)
1st as FAT32 (primary) for storing DATA, Music, Videos etc.,. (say 6.5 GB in 8GB SD Card)
2nd as FAT32 or ext4 (as primary) for linking apps with link2sd – balance memory in sd card (note: kernel supports ext partitions)
You can also resize partition. See link below on how to partition
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2142844
Thanks bakpinar and sanny5
Install Link2SD from Play store → select Fat16/32
→ if it says mount script created. You can link your apps to 2nd partition through link2sd.
→ If it says mount: no such file or directory –
Install Mount /System (rw / ro) and ES File Explorer from Playstore.
Select Mount R/W in Mount /System app.
Copy the below script in notepad++ in windows (not notepad, google it)
or gedit in linux
or download the file posted by raveesh84 for fat32 partition in 7th post below
or if you want to type using your phone install droideditfree
and save as install-recovery.sh and copy the file to the folder /system/etc/ (after enabling Mount r/w as said above)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/system/bin/sh
# mount vfat 2nd partition from sd card
sleep 2
mount -t vfat -o rw /dev/block/vold/179:2 /data/sdext2
mount -t vfat -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data/sdext2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note : Replace vfat with ext4 in the above script if you want to use ext4 partition.
Read the above script horizontally in phone.
Thanks to Kierrok
Note: Copying and permission setting will happen only after Mount R/w.
Permission setting for the above file -> Enable Root explorer to ON in es file explorer by going to menu --> tools --> root explorer ON. Then long press the copied file in ES file Explorer -> select more -> select properties -> select change under permissions -> tick all the read, write and execute except write by others.
Reboot phone. Link2sd will work now. Link apps, don't create mount scripts.
Note:
1. Install big apps first and link all 3 files in it, otherwise small apps take space in internal memory & will not allow installation / linking of big apps.
2. If you restart your phone you might get low space error, immediately open link2sd - sort apps by lib size - select top 5 or 6 six apps one by one and link the lib file (link vanished due to restart). Space error will go.
4. Increasing RAM (SWAP)
The phone already has 190Mb internal swap. It is too low.
Install Swapper for Root → put value 756 → select active at boot. Class 10 sd card will work better.
You can also further increase SD Card speed with installing SD Speed Increase → setting kbs based on class of sdcard to maximum
and set on every boot.
Now we have overcome the twin limitations of LAVA IRIS 402 to some extent.

You must Mount R/W first
You can also do it through Root Explorer or Rom Toolbox app.
Can you please share that script file so that I can use it in my one..

Class 10 sdcard would perform better for swap, also increase sd card speed.

Useful apps for lava 402 / 356
-------------------------------
Android firewall - restricting which app to access internet in WiFi or mobile data. (Enable mediaserver and download manager for tube mate and play store to work respectively. Also enable android related things to WiFi and / or DATA, will be useful in case of lock due to wrong patterns)
Greenify - making apps that you are not working on to sleep
Tubemate (from opera app store) - to view or download YouTube videos in lesser data, 320x240 resolution would be good enough.

Thanks for the guide. Worked perfectly on my lava iris 356.

Dear sir,
I wish to start with my thanks about your internal memory upgrading blog.
I have purchased new Lava 402 Smart Phone. I am getting message as "the phone storage does not have enough space. please release some storage or change the default write disk in the settings" while using camera. But I checked in my mobile settings, there is no option to change the default memory settings to write in SD Card. Please help to come over from this issue.

I didn't had any problem with camera. It is storing images to SD card only. Has your SD card detected ? Re insert card properly after switch off. If this also not works try installing any other camera app from play store.

I have installed new camera app (Zoom Camera)from play store. It works.
But default camera (which is come with IRIS402) stores image/video only internal memory not to sd card.
If any setting inside, please tell me.
Thanks alot.

I have a Lava Iris 402.. Link2SD fails to detect the second partition in both cases (FAT32/ext4). Any solution??
Copy pasted the script in /system/etc. Link2SD still doesnt detect 2nd partition.

Does the script works ?? Didn't work in my case. Any solution ???

If you had done as explained it should work. It takes initially a minute to boot after the script copying, can you wait & check if it is OK.

hexamob recovery apk

hi all while searching the net i came across the file i have attached ... now i have not seen this on the site and many of you may not be aware of it .. so i have decided to post it ...
this is what it does
Hexamob Recovery Lite can recover any type of deleted file from your internal/external SDcard. It can recover deleted files from external sdcard (tablets) and internal sdcard (smartphones). Internal sdcard from tablets will be supported in nearly. Data recovery is not guaranteed because it depends on the state of data blocks after delete process.
FEATURES:
- You can use this application like an undelete tool to recover your deleted files.
- Support FAT (vfat) filesystem type.
- Search for any file type or select types from filters.
- Deleted files long ago will be more difficult to recover because some blocks of file can be overwritten.
- Recovered files are stored in recovered folder of your device (usually in the "microSD" although some devices can create this folder on the internal storage).
- This application need "Superuser" permissions. Go to Google and look for info about how to be root on your phone or you can ask to us. Is important to be "superuser" because there are many apps on Android Market that need "superuser" permissions.

[Cuestion] Swap Partition on CyanogenMod 7.2

I tried every way, but I can not use the swap partition on my WFS.
I installed the latest version of the ROM and the Kernel, but I can't make it work.
Does anyone know what should I do to run the "Swap Partition" on my phone?
Go through this.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Swap_and_Compcache
The cyanogenmod team feels that swap doesn't serve it's purpose on an Android device. To quote them
"This question is hotly debated, but you almost definitely do not need swap or compcache. The only exception to this may be if the device is a first generation device (i.e. HTC Dream or HTC Magic). If you think swap or compcache may make the device faster, feel free to follow the directions below."
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And the WFS is not a first generation device
If you still want to go ahead with it, that link provides a how-to.
But the problem is that with this ROM my phone does not recognize the swap partition. I would like to post on its own thread, but I can not because I am a new user.

You have to create a mount script and copy it to /system/etc/init.d and give it the same permissions all the other files in init.d
Attached is the code to use if you have swap as the third partition on your SD card. Remove the .txt extension and place it in /system/etc/init.d and give it the appropriate permissions then reboot
Use the command "free" in a terminal session to verify swap is active and working.
It should be pretty straightforward to modify it to be the second if you aren't using an SD Ext partition for programs.
The code is:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
#Checks for a swap partition on mount 3 of the SD card and use it for swap partition.
if [ -b /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 ];
then
#Uncomment the line below to adjust swappiness. Default is 60 I believe
# echo 20 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness;
swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3;
fi;
Change the line:
if [ -b /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 ];
to
if [ -b /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 ];
If you only have your FAT32 Primary and your Swap partition and no SDExt
I will try it this evening. Some people told me that oboe is that I created the Swap Partition with the recovery and I have to create it with the PC.
If I get it working I'll post my results. If not you will see me here again.

When I try to move the script to the specific file I get: failed to copy, or failed to move. How could I copy or move the script in /system/etc/init.d and give all permissions? I am using ES File Explorer and ASTRO. Should I move the zipped file or only the script? I couldn't move none of them

You have to mount system partition as RW to be able to manipulate with files there, big white button "Mounr R/W" in the upper part of the Root explorer app while you are in /system/etc/init.d folder. Then you put there swap.txt file that d33ps1x provided up in the post, rename it just to swap and reboot phone.
I did that with almost every version of cm7 from the begining (in which kernel allowed that) and every time it worked, tnx to d33ps1x

Then the problem can be with kernel on ROM you are using, basic thing is that kernel needs to be abble to support swap for swap to even work... Can't help you much there since you are probably on marvelc version according to you'r country flag, i'm on diferent version. Some1 with same model as yours could help you tough
Is there any way to install another ROM that support swap? which ROM should I use? is there any tutorial?

The [2nd] above post is correct. Swap support is enabled in some custom kernels. If you're looking for another ROM, you're going to primarily ask about the kernel included with that ROM. Stock kernels do NOT support swap. You can enable swap [if you have a supporting kernel] via A2SDGUI or terminal... read up and familiarize yourself with linux swap.. since Android is a branch of Linux; same principles apply

This says it's possible to enable swap and compcache on CM7.2, but the howto wiki link is dead
To answer you question directly, by default the swap and Compcache schemes are disabled, but if you still feel the need to use them, above link provides you with a how-to.
So, yes, the CyanogenMod 7.2 supports swap and its usage needs to be activated.

Any idea how to do this?
For me the same question. I'm investigating since 1 week, tried scripts etc. no chance
Nexus One,
4EXT recovery (needed for correct sd-ext formatting)
CM 7.2
swap partition is there but not used.
What could i do to enable the swap partition?
Regards,
Marc
Hello,
I have the stable release cyanogenmod 7.2.0.
Swap is not working and gives following message:
swapon: /dev/block/mmcblk0p3: Function not implement
I found some notes saying that the problem is the kernel not supporting
swap. Which kernel can I use with cyanogenmod 7.2.0 with swap support?.
Thanks for your help.

[Q] A2SD issue

hi all, I'm new in flashing and changing rom.
I tried to flash my desire for BlissMod007 (Sense 3.5 | GB 2.3.5 | A2SD+) by doing this:
-Root with Unrevoked
-Format with partition wizard: ~3500Mo in FAT32 and ~512 Mo in EXT4 by setting Primary for each
-installation of RSK_bravo_4.0.3 in the recovery
When on the phone in the settings: I see that only 55 Mo are still available over ~93 Mo, and as I have a desire it should be a total of 512Mo (stock memory of desire) + 1 Go (on SD card with EXT4). So I'm thinking something went wrong and the A2SD is not activated or something like this.
Could you please help me? Sorry by advance if this is a naive question.
Thanks !!!
As you can see apps from /data/app on sdext in app drawer, script is running ok, system is reading only data partition only for free space, you have only /data/app folder symlinked from sdext, and desire has 512 M all together that means system+cache+data+misc+recovery, you can't have size of sdext included as is not mounted to data, if I'm right

Need to browse that ext partition to see what's there. Mini tool partition wizard should not be used, so if you're lucky it worked but possibly not

Thanks.
Actually how could I browse the SDEXT partition (mine is in EXT4)? I tried ext2explore but didn't work. I tried again minitool but it doesnt see the partition anymore. What to be used instead of Minitool to format in ext4 (Rom manager doesn't work on my phone): i tried EaseUS Partition Master but the software under Seven doesn't see the EXT partition done first time with Minitool.
Where should be installed the Apps normally (because I don't see them in the SDCARD nor elsewhere with Astro)?
thanks!
Im using Es file explorer... go to setting and tick root explorer and if you want to change something in /system you need to tick mount file system
Gparted is the best option as RootSU signature saying...

Thanks Kotag: just to understand, I did what you said with ES file explorer. Now where should I look at to see if the EXT4 A2SD is activated/used?
Thanks again

That was answer how you can browse your sdext... so start es explorer hit back button once and find folder sdext
now you browsing your ext partition on sd...
to see your a2sd script you need to go /system/etc/init.d
there should be file with number (usually 40) and a2sd

ok. So it worked with Astro (not ES File Explorer.. strange):
I can see the "sd-ext" folder, which is empty at that time, no file inside. When I right click on the folder, then detail, I can see Free space for this peripheric = 423 Mo and total space ~1Go, that's what I put when formatting the EXT4 partition with minitool. I don't understand why I see nothing in the folder but there is some space used. Could you tell me why?
For a2sd script: 40a2sd file is there!
Thanks again.
did you tick root explorer in es explorer settings? it will ask for superuser permision click yes it should be ok as you rooted
Or download qtadb and connect phone to pc via usb you should be able to browse phone folders

Yes ticked, only able to see the Sdcard.
Does my previous answer help you to understand what's happening? (I have done what you were requested but with Astro )
when you see sd card hit back button once or go folder up, you will see where and how are folder connected together

ok so current structure is :
/MNT/SDCARD
or at root: /sd-ext which is empty and I still don't understand why there is space allocated to a empty folder.
just downloaded astro, im in the same situation /sdext empty but definately working under es explorer with root explorer ticked in settings

Done! Es explored re installed and that works!
So I can see the sdext folder: I can see App, App_s, app-private folders. I can see my apps inside those folders.
What does it mean so? working good? If yes How can I see the remaining space for installing apps?
Thanks again!
I use quick system info for checking the free space of my sd-ext.
Edit:
And I think that it should be working. You should be able to see if it is working when checking the free space of the sd-ext.

As I said before, system is checking free space on data partition, unless you will mount sdext as data (like data2sd script). 3rd party apps can see it.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
Worked good with quick system info! I can see 350 Meg remaining over 1 go. How android decides to install apps in sdext or on the data partition ?
No one got the answer? Thx!

https://www.dropbox.com/s/fixhl34x7qr13v6/1125.zip?dl=0
Copy entire 1125.zip folder to desktop
Extract 1125.zip to desktop
Install PdaNetA4170.exe driver ( This should allow you to transfer files with Fastboot )
This is Version 4.17 installer for Windows 8/7/Vista/XP (both 32/64bit)
Extract CWM recovery img_1125 folder to desktop by itself ( Do not remove any files from this folder )
Move zip files from zips folder to micro sd card and insert sd into tablet ( leave these in zip format !! )

Uni-init+v1.0.apk
Google_Play_serv.ices-signe.d .apk
Busybox.apk

cd desktop , ( enter )
cd CWM recovery img_1125 ( enter )
Now place 1125 into fastboot mode , power ( or reset button ) and volume down , tablet will show fastboot mode in lower left corner
Plug in usb cable to pc and tablet
Then in cmd prompt type

Select language from first screen ( as it will be in Dutch ), finish setup of tablet
Open ES File Explorer , go to tools setting in ES File Explorer and select
“Root Explorer” to on , allow when Super User prompt shows , this will prove SU is installed and working
Open ES File Explorer , Select sdcard top right , Select storage
Install Google_Play_serv.ices-signe.d .apk ( To sync Play Store )
Install Busybox.apk
Install Link2sd.apk
Install Uni-init+v1.0.apk
Open Uni-init+v1.0.apk , install intd support
( you will need busybox installed first for this to work )
You now have working Play Store , Superuser and Android 4.1 with Intd support
For Extended memory ,( You need this )
Increase Internal Memory by Link2SD : Min 2 GB microSD
In order to add memory to Coby 1125, your micro SD card used for install will need to be formatted
Copy all files you wish to keep from micro SD to desktop as it will be wiped
• Backup all your files on memory card.
• Go into the Recovery Mode ( as above , fastboot boot recovery.img ) ( Your operating system will be fine )
• Make a nandroid backup at this time
• Select “Advanced”, and then choose “Partition SD Card”.
• Then Choose your size ( if you have a 2GB Memory Card, choose 512 MB, and if you have a 4 GB Memory card, you can choose 1024 MB, ext ).
• Select 0 Swap.
• Wait for the process to finish, and then select Reboot
You’ve just made a partition on your memory card, and its ready to use.
Now follow the steps below for Link2SD
• Open Link2SD. You will be prompted to choose between ext2,ext3,ext4 and FAT32.
• Choose ext2
• Select OK ,
• It will then say, “Mount Script Created”.
• Now you Reboot your Tablet
• Open Link2SD again, if any message does not appear ,it means you succeeded.
• Go to Link2SD > Setting( far right top icon ) scroll down > Check the autolink. (to automatically move apps upon installation).
If you already have some apps listed , select “create link” ( be sure to check the files: app, dalvic-cache, and library files).
Move to SD option only moves app to SD it does not link them
Now to check the memory, select “Storage Info” . this will be showing you up the current status of your internal memory.
You should see as below SD Card 2nd Part
To move a system App you can long press App , it will pull up menu , select convert to user App let it do its thing
Select App again and it will open option to create link as installed user apps do
So far I have moved Calculator , VPN , Music FX , ES File Explorer and Sound Recorder with no issue
Use Link2Sd and (long press) on SystemUpdate.apk ( /system/app/SystemUpdate.apk ) and freeze app.
This will stop System Update from happening at random moments or on reboot
There is no Update to install though the System thinks so (without freezing it will continue to show updates available)

[tuto] [share] how to optimize your internal phone storage (internal memory)

Hello friends, this day I share a tutorial on how to optimize the internal memory of our young and other android phone with that said let's start.
WE NEED:
-ROOT EXPLORER (ANY VERSION)
-A PARTITION ON SD CARD MINIMUM OF 500 MB
-LINK2SD
(I do not take responsibility for damaged memories, telephones etc.)
INSTRUCTIONS:
( Before recalls have already made your partition)
-OPEN LINK2SD AND MOUNT THE PARTITION SELECT THE SD EXT3
-REBOOT YOUR PHONE
-WHEN YOUR PHONE ARE BOOTED AGAIN GO TO LINK2SD
-GO TO SETTINGS
And untick the 2 next options:
"relink lib files at boot"
"relink dex files at boot".
-NOW GO TO INSTALL LOCATION (IN SAME LINK2SD)
-AND SELECT EXTERNAL
when we have done all this and we're done with Link2SD
-AFTER THAT GO TO ROOT EXPLORER
- ROOT EXPLORER WILL AUTOMATICALLY IN THE ROOT OF PHONE (IF NOT YOU NEED GO TO THE ROOT MANUALLY)
-NOW IN THE SAME ROOT GO TO THE FOLDER CALLED "DATA"
-NOW GO TO THE FOLDER CALLED SDEXT2
-IF YOU HAVE ANY FOLDER, APP OR FILE IN THIS FOLDER DELETE ALL
-IF NOT NOT XD
-NOW PRESS BACK BUTTON TO RETURN TO THE FOLDER DATA
-NOW COPY NOT MOVE COPY THE APP, APP PRIVATE & DALVIK CACHE FOLDERS TO THE SAME FOLDER (SDEXT2)
-WAIT
- WHEN EVERYTHING HAS BEEN COPIED
-MAKES A PROLONGED PRESSURE IN THE APP FOLDER
- SEVERAL OPTIONS APPEAR BUT YOU NEED SELECT THE LINK TO THIS FOLDER OPTION
-PRESS BACK BUTTON AND SELECT CREATE LINK
-MAKE THE SAME WITH APP PRIVATE & DALVIK CACHE FOLDER
- WHEN YOU HAVE COMPLETED RESTART THE PHONE AND READY!
sorry for my english
why open a thread for already posted guide which is the same?
