[GUIDE]Procedure to Move Apps 2 Sd (ICS)

Hi Everyone
I am creating this thread because most of the people still asking how to move the apps 2 sd on ICS, as the app2sd dt is not working.
So here is a step by step guide to do it.
1st you need any root explorer.
I am using the File Manager (because the Root Explorer is getting FCs on ICS)
Here is the link to the File Manager
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rhmsoft.fm&feature=search_result
Load the File Manager
Go to setting and Tick the root explorer and Mount System Folders.
(Allow the Super User Permission)
Then download this file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=890365&d=1328558597
Unzip it and paste it in the sdcard.
Now open the File Manager
Copy The "S2E" from the sdcard\ICS_simple2ext\system\app
and paste it to the system\app (presented in the root folder)
Similarly copy the "20userinit" file from the sdcard\ICS_simple2ext\system\etc\init.d
And paste it to the system\etc\init.d (presented in the root folder)
It will ask to replace the file, so Just Replace it
Now open the S2E from the app drawer and configure the following :
- Menu->Settings: Check "Extended partiton info", "Mount as ext4" and "Set read buffer"
-Reboot your phone
-Start S2E again : Check "Applications" , "Private apps"
-Reboot your phone
Note: If you like you can also check the "Dalvik Cache" and the "Download cache"
You will get around 170 mb internal memory free out of 178 mb.
Special Thanks to:
Maclaw and His Team for Providing us the ICS

Works perfectly, this is the right method. Tested and used on v6 and v7 too.

followed the guide exactly. move the file to the specific location. after i restarted my phone there was no s2e app installed. tried opening it manually from system/app but i got this error : There is a problem parsing the package . the script is there, the 20userinit file, i tried using a2sd DT GUI but it says there is a problem with the script

But... this forum is not the place for guides

Maybe not, but looking after all these morons spamming CM9 dev thread, it could be sticky here, as an exception.

Work great..thanks bro.

This is not CWM update package?

it is, but originally for another phone I think, but I saw the script and you should be able to install it in recovery, just make a backup, and mount system before flashing, the script doesn't do this.

I was unable to install it in the clock recovery mode.
Thats Why I found the alternate solution, and posted it.
Its working without any issues

U are not able to move the system apps through thie link you have posted.
It just moves the installed apps to sd. So thats why you will not be able to get the maximum possible free space on the internal storage.
The App 2 SD is just a simple functioning app, not an app that makes the internal memory free

Ah, I see.
Thanks, indeed there's a lot of apps that will not move.
I'll follow the guide then.
---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 PM ----------
And worked great! Was able to free 130 MB!
btw reboot does not install se2 so I install it manually.
Also my root explorer works ok with gio's ICS.

thanks works!

I am going to do this on my gio right now. But i just installed beta 8 and have to restore from Titanium backup. It installs them to phone, but if i move to SD does the WHOLE thing go or does it leave a bit? Also isnt i risky to put system apps on SD or would things like gmail, mail etc be okay? Im a noob to A2sd sorry

I Think a2sd dt not working because space in system is very low used by CM9 rom...i try to delete some apps in /system/app/ and then install a2sd script n work fine...

There, I just made a working update zip.

No problem you can move every thing to sd-ext.
Just don't worry about that.

[APP] [SHARE] Flash Gordon -Flash zip files without booting into recovery

Androguide.fr said:
THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS, CURRENTLY AT A VERY EARLY STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT​
What is Flash Gordon ?
In laymen's words, Flash Gordon is an apk which allows you to flash any flashable zip (except for Roms) without having a recovery installed.
You just point it to the zip you want to flash, (be it a kernel, a mod, a gapps package, a modem, a RIL, a recovery...) and it will interpret the updater-script of this package and install its content just like a recovery would.
How does it work ?
Here is what happens step by step :
You tap the "select a zip" button, select the built-in file explorer to select the zip you want to flash
Flash Gordon will first extract this zip, depending on its size it can take a little time
When you press the "Flash Now" button, Flash Gordon will locate the updater-script and start translating it into shell code, line by line
It will output the resulting translated bash script on your sdcard and execute it, thus installing the zip's content
The app creates a notification, just tap on it to reboot
In order to achieve those last 2 steps, I'm writing a full Edify to Bash parser and translator.
Here is the list of all the Edify commands this parser can currently process and what their respective bash translation is (in green), using examples:
(more will be added over time, this is really just a draft)
By no means am I a bash expert, so if you have suggestions for better bash equivalents of any edify commands please post them
Code:
package_extract_file("path/to/source/file.txt", "/path/to/destination/file.txt");
[COLOR="DarkGreen"]busybox cp -fp /path/to/source/file.txt /path/to/destination/file.txt[/COLOR]

write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "mmcblk0p5");
[COLOR="DarkGreen"]dd if=/tmp/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5[/COLOR]
This is just a proof of concept for the moment, I'm aiming at adding all the possible Edify commands, and maybe doing it backwards (Bash2Edify) in the future, too.
Screenshots
This is from the apk I use for debugging, so the UI is pretty barebones atm, it will quickly evolve to something more fancy and featureful

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why can't I flash a Rom with Flash Gordon ?
A: Because when some system files are replaced while the device is running, it causes it to crash and will stop in the middle of the installation, resulting in a bootloop.
Q: Where can I see the bash script translation of the package I selected ?
A: After tapping the Flash Now button, head to /sdcard/RecoveryEmulator/tmp/flash_gordon.sh
The full translation is also output to the logcat while flashing.
Q: I select a flashable zip but it tells me it is not valid or that it's not a zip package, why ?
A: Make sure that there is no whitespace in the name of the zip package you're trying to flash, otherwise it won't be recognized.
If your package has no whitespace but the app still gives this error, try to shorten its name.
Q: Which versions of Android are supported ?
A: From Froyo (2.2) up to the latest JellyBean (4.2.2)
Q: Why is this app useful?
A: Some people might not be able to install a custom recovery on their device, either because there is no custom recovery for this model, or maybe their bootloader is locked. Flash Gordon allows them to flash packages even then.
Or maybe you're simply lazy and you don't want to have to reboot to recovery to flash that new kernel or that new cool flashable mod ? Then Flash Gordon is for you too.
Or maybe just for the heck of it ?^^
Requirements
All you need is a rooted Android device with a proper busybox installed. Required applets include :
mount
sed
unzip
rm
cp
Changelog
To Do List
Using a private version of busybox to remove having busybox installed/installing new applets as a requirement for the user
Implementing an equivalent of nandroid backups (zipping the content of the defined partition(s) and generating an updater-script to allow the user to restore the backup either through recovery or through Flash Gordon
Translating ui_print(); to echo in bash and make the "Flashing" ProgressDialog's message display the content of those ui_print();
Disclaimer
If you're going to test this app, make sure you have a nandroid backup handy as it is very far from stable.
I won't be held responsible for any damage done to anything whatsoever. You use this tool at your own risk.
Download
A preview/pre-alpha/proof-of-concept/work-in-progress/whatever-but-stable apk is attached to this post.
Again, make sure to have a nandroid backup before flashing anything through Flash Gordon for the moment.

The M8 splash flashable for recovery is not working anymore, it says no android-info.txt, the RUU flashable should will work,
if you have the file splash1.nb0 and android-info.txt from M9.

You could just dd the file, if you're comfortable doing it. You can brick the phone this way if you're not careful.
The splash partition is p15

The M8 splash flashable for recovery is not working anymore, it says no android-info.txt, the RUU flashable should will work,
if you have the file splash1.nb0 and android-info.txt from M9.

Hello,
Sucks to hear that the recovery zips aren't work. Never heard of a recovery asking for an android-info.txt before, could adding one to the recovery zip help? Do you think using another partition like data instead of cache would help? Maybe @Captain_Throwback can look at this.
Thanks,

I'm sorry, what are we talking about, here? Recovery-flashable zips don't include android-info.txt files. I think I need more information.

Hello,
I'm on the same page as you. The OP said that when the splash zips are flashed through recovery it asked for an android-info.txt file. I was under the impression it used the updater-script and the dd method to flash the splash. Thought you might have some insight to this, know the M9 is different, but thought recovery is the same. Not sure what else I can give you. Here is the updater-script for the zips I have, maybe his are different.
From my M8, obviously the partition is different, think it is 15.
ui_print("Update boot splash");
show_progress(0.100000, 0);
ui_print("Mounting /cache");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/cache");
show_progress(0.300000, 0);
ui_print("Extracting boot splash");
package_extract_dir("cache", "/cache");
show_progress(0.500000, 0);
ui_print("Replacing boot splash");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "dd", "if=/cache/splash.565", "of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12");
show_progress(0.700000, 0);
ui_print("Deleting temporary file");
delete("/cache/splash.565");
show_progress(0.900000, 0);
ui_print("Unmounting /cache");
unmount("/cache");
ui_print("Done");
show_progress(1.000000, 0);

Best to use symlink versus block device, so the output file path should be /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/sp1 to be safe. But I don't see why that wouldn't work (outside of any incompatibilty between the devices).

Hello,
So I tried made the change you suggested and it didn't work. I didn't get any errors, that I noticed, but was hoping you could look at the log and see if I missed something.

Are you S-OFF?
The zip itself appears to be fine, but you can't flash a splash on an S-ON device, unless it's in an HTC-signed zip. That hasn't changed.

What MIUI 8.0.3.0.MAGMIDI system apps are necessary for the ROM to work?

So I wanted to debloat my MIUI 8.0.3.0.MAGMIDI on MI 5s and removed unnecessary apps like the ones below with NoBloat Free:
Code:
/SYSTEM/APP FOLDER
AnalyticsCore
AntHalService
BasicDreams
BookmarkProvider
BugReport
Chrome
CloudService

Velvet
YellowPage
Almost immediately I started to have problem with crashed app windows (strange arabic fonts used for app names) so I turned the device off. The system didn't boot and stayed forever on the Mi logo.
I did a TWRP recovery and it works fine now but I'm still wondering what system app caused this so I can leave it and remove all other.
Anyone tried to debloat MIUI 8 in such scope as mine?

I think you should not delete stuff like AntHalService, velvet, and some others you deleted. If you wanna debloat, those three threads are a good way to get you started: redmi note 3 bloat removal script
save to remove bloatware list
bloatware removal script for mi 5s plus from MIUI.com forum

Use xiaomi.eu custom rom

AntHalService and Velvet are actually quite safe to delete - done it many times without any side effects. I'm wondering about other stuff. Thanks for the links.

Could you elaborate? What's so special about this one in comparison to global MIUI 8.0.3.0.MAGMIDI?

One point to this. Its not only debloated, it got frequent updates.

i decided to make a debloat script on my own. I created this for global stable 8.0.4.0, because i dont trust xiaomi.eu. (they are very intransparent about their work, they could add god knows what to their ROM)
i used a script i found on the MIUI Forum and modified it to my needs:
Code:
ui_print("***********************************************");
ui_print("Remove MIUI 8 Global stable Bloatware ");
ui_print("***********************************************");
ui_print("Mounting system...");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");
show_progress(0.25, 2);

#delete_recursive("/system/app/ESFileExplorer", "/system/app/GoogleLauncher ");
#ui_print("Installing new Custom-Stuff...");
#package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
#package_extract_dir("data", "/data");
show_progress(0.25, 20);

everything works perfekt, only problem is that i can't search settings anymore. does anybody of you guys know what disabled app causes this?

Removing "AppIndexProvider" or "ApplicationsProvider" could be causing this issue.

Where did you get Global Stable 8.0.4.0 ? I thought latest global stable 8.0.3.0.

I have the mi5s plus, and that's the latest fw we got. I think it is the same as 8.0.3.0 for mi 5s though.
