Hello everyone
I have a HTC Diamond
And want to install Android on it
But do not succeed!
I follow these steps:
1.I Have Formatted My Internal Storage and Create This Partitions :
1st partition: FAT32 (sdcard / Rest)
2nd partition: EXT2 (system / 300MB )
3rd partition: EXT2 (data / 300MB)
4th partition: EXT2 (cache / 300MB)
2.I have downloaded FroyoB THUNDERBOLT V1 from this topic :
viewtopic.php?f=14&t=7558
3.Extracted the FroyoB to sd card (the extracted .zip file was npkboot folder!)
(now on the root of my Internal Storage has a npkboot folder)
4.I have downloaded a zImage + modules and copied those to root of Internal Storage
(now on the root of my Internal Storage there are 3 things! zimage, modules and npkboot folder)
5.But now I do not know what should I do
Please help me
I'll have a look
@ HTC0017 plz post all steps clear
thanX
Please try this, worked for me.
NPKboot folder:
Use the right startup.txt for your device (important: rel_path=npkboot).
Use a ts-calibration file from a working android build.
Put the kernel files in the npkboot folder and start haret from this folder.
Push quickly the volume down button when haret asks for this.
Use the Clear data/etc option to format partitions
When ready install the thunderbolt zip file.
Reboot device and run haret in the NPKfolder to start android for the first time.
Hi all,
I found that some of the SGW users are wondering whether they should swap internal/external sd card as their internal sd card is full with awesome GAMES data.
Here i will provide three ways to give ur SGW more space for gaming. Strictly for root users only.
Internal/External swapping
This mod will swap ur internal sd with external sd. Before swapping, backup the data on both sd cards to ur pc and manually "swap" the data from each other.
Then download and extract the vold.fstab from the attachment replace the one under /system/etc by using root explorer. Then reboot and enjoy.
Mounting script
If u want to store and run game data from external sd without swapping. Mounting script is a good solution to it.
This script will mount the game data path to your external sd. In other word, it tricked ur device for redirecting the games to load data from external sd instead of internal sd.
What u need are
Script Manager - download from market for free [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=os.tools.scriptmanager&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm9zLnRvb2xzLnNjcmlwdG1hbmFnZXIiXQ..
mounting script
Create a new script file in Script manager and type the following:
(I used the Android folder as example)
Code:
mount -o bind sdcard/external_sd/Android sdcard/Android
This is for gameloft
Code:
mount -o bind sdcard/external_sd/gameloft sdcard/gameloft
After creating these, u need to cut the files in Android or gameloft from internal sdcard and paste them to the new location on external sd. Leave the original folders empty.
Remember to set them "boot" and "su" and SAVE in script manager. Reboot.
Alternatively, u can use the one I provided or create it by ur own. Extract the MOUNT external.zip and put it into ur sd card. Open it in script manager and select "boot" and "su" then save. Reboot.
If ur ROM is init.d autorun supported, just simply put the mounting script into the /system/etc/init.d folder.
Directory Bind tool
This is an apk created by one of our forum members, slig. This is based on the the same mounting script method. U can use it for simplicity. All credits go to the creator.

GL to SD
This apps created by tnslf2k is similar to the script I made and it is user-friendly. U can download it from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slf.ListglApp&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zbGYuTGlzdGdsQXBwIl0.
For more details, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18949753&postcount=1
That's all. Choose a way and play ur games~~!!
i made an second partition on my sd card with easeus (ext2) primary.
Now i use link2sd and everything i download is automaticly linked to my sd card.
So my internal space never get's full.

thanks , i thought it should be placed in the folder where u cut the files , btw does this only work for files (saved files) what about apk? i mean in \data\app folder all the apk of the apps that i installed is there, can i use this script so that i can move my apk files? or this script only works with saved files? thanks again

Theoretically, it should work but I have never tried before. If u don't mind doing this experiment, please tell me the result. I am not very free to play with SGW now. Dealing with galaxy ACE at this moment.
i used the "Directory Bind" tools since 3 days ago, and it's works like a charm in my SGW untill now..

ive tried it, but it didnt work, im using bionic2 so my internal/external is already swapped, but i want my system storage to have more free space that's why i want to move the apk's of my installed apps, here the script i made: "mount -o bind sdcard/data_app data/app" (without the quote), i moved all my apk files from data/app to sdcard/data_app after i moved it all, obviously my root explorer and script manager wont open that's why reinstalled them, ive set the script to root and boot, but before i reboot, ive ran the script and try to open some apps, it opened so i think it work, after i reboot all the apps that i moved are gone but when i go to data/app i can see all the apk files of my apps there (looks like the script works), but i dont know what the problem is, can u help me on this? or it isnt possible? and let me ask some question, in application menu, there is an option that says "move to sd card", after i press it, when i go to data/app folder, the apk of the app that i moved is not there (obviously) and it can be found in mnt/asec folder, but i cant find it in my sdcard (which is the 1.7gb because its swap), can u tell me where can i find it? many THANKS

It is using the same working principle, i.e. bind command.

Code:
"mount -o bind sdcard/data_app data/app"
May I know the location of data/app? if it is on ur external sd, it should be
Code:
"mount -o bind sdcard/data_app sdcard/external_sd/data/app"
If u got swapped ur internal/external sd, this script is not needed since all the apps+data u installed into "phone memory" will be in ur external sd. If u try to move the apps to sd card again, it should go back to ur 1.7gb internal sd card.
FYI, system storage is where ur ROM stored and it is fixed (~550Mb) as it can't be swapped. So all system apps will be kept there.
For normal non-swapped ROM, APP to SD can serve the purpose of moving apps from system storage to internal sd (1.7Gb)

data/app folder is in the root of the phone, that's why i use this script "mount -o bind sdcard/data_app data/app" what im trying to do is to get more space for system storage, and i think it is 1.07GB, when u go to task manager under storage tab, thanks for ur patience

Ok~ I got it. data/app is under system storage. Maybe u can try APP2SD to move them into ur external_sd (which is ur sdcard in this case)

no, in option 2&3, the apk and sd files are automatically saved first to usb storage or internal sd. Option 2&3 is for moving the games only saved at usb storage.

First thing, ur sgw must be rooted to use these. To move apps from internal storage to external sd, u can use app2sd.
Secondly, 512mb is the total ram for our device. but part of it will be reserved for running the android system. 350mb is the available ram for u to use.
For stock 4.3 with Locked bootloader
It's better unlock it, but there is another way.
1. Get root
2. Get BusyBox using this app: press there Install
3. Get init.d support using this app: press there activate and then verify
4. Format external sdcard into FAT32. Don't forget backup files!
5. Create on external sdcard folder 0 and move there all data from internal storage
6. download the zip and extract it to system/etc/init.d
7. Set permissions to file with all 9 ticks
8. Reboot
Don't pay attention to info in Settings > Storage. It's incorrect.
Just check using filemanager content of internal memory and sdcard.
It's must be swapped:
– External memory now linked to internal 2 GB
– Internal memory now linked to external sdcard: files located in folder 0
For stock 4.3 with Unlocked bootloader
1. Install CWM recovery via flashtool: tutorial
2. Get root by flashing via recovery SuperSU.zip
3. Get BusyBox using this app: press there Install
4. Get init.d support using this app: press there Enable init.d
5. Format external sdcard into FAT32. Don't forget backup files!
6. Create on external sdcard folder 0 and move there all data from internal storage
7. Flash via recovery ZIP attached below

For CyanogenMod 11 and other 4.4
1. Create on external sdcard folder 0 and move there all data from internal storage
2. Flash via recovery ZIP attached below
– External memory as before linked to actual sdcard
– Internal memory now linked to external sdcard: files located in folder 0
– No access to real 2 GB internal memory
Video tutorial for stock 4.3 with Unlocked bootloader from me
If you will follow this video be aware.
For init.d support install APK provided on YouTube, NOT app with almost same name form Google Play: Universal init.d
[/QUOTE]
credits
@Bonoboo for a more simple tutorial
@zeyad xu for finding this
@xda people for trying
also for @raffie_archildz the man who made this
1. Create an Ext4 partition in your microSD with "Mini Tool Partition Wizard" ( you can search tutorial in google)
2. Install Link2sd and create mount script (EXT4)
3. reboot
4. Open Link2sd and select apk > menu> Create link
5. Done
Never use MSC mode (USB Mass Storage) for connecting to PC!
This can mess up data your files. Use only MTP!
Settings > Xperia Connectivity > USB Connectivity > USB Connection mode > Media transfer mode (MTP)

hi guys I've discovered a way on swapping the sd on my c2005
it needs this :
init.d support
full root
root explorer
brain
and this http://d-h.st/H2u

hmm
now open root explorer delete .bin from the file's name if found
move to system etc and RWXRWXRWX permissions which means tick all except special

Root needed.
Earlier to get root on 4.3 was needed to unlock BL.
Here fresh tutorial how to root and keep BL locked.
Works very well.
Please update title, it works also on locked BL (even you can flash zip by http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250555)
TIP:
For those of you like me, who have a motherlode in their sdcard and would like to save their time:
1. (Optional) Connect your phone in MSC Mass storage mode
2. Create folder called "0" (zero without quotes) in your sdcard.
3. Move entire contents of your sd to the 0 folder so that only the 0 folder remains on the root of sdcard.
4. Copy the init.d script and reboot
5. Rejoice with your saved data and time

Guys, don't pay attention to that info in Settings > Storage. It's incorrect.
Just check using any filemanager content of internal memory and sdcard.
It's must be swapped.

I have checked it, and sdcard0 is swapped with sdcard1, and it's also swapped on PC when I look on my Xperia.
So really sorry: it works good, maybe not brilliant, because in Total Commander external memory is still have 16GB and there is no internal memory, but for Android it works good. :good:
Thanks!!!
As Bonoboo said,
your sdcard will now be mounted on /sdcard and internal memory is on /sdcard1. So if you had transferred files to folder 0, you will find it on /sdcard.

Hmmmm did u ensure that you had moved everything from internal storage in the 0 folder to the sdcard?
Try to recheck the permission set in the init.d folder.
and make sure you installed busybox (open busybox and wait for smart install and make sure it is installed in xbin not bin)
Sorry for late reply! D:
For unroot :
Open SuperSU
Scroll down and find the full unroot
click that.
Well, it only moves data on sdcard, with that method, your apps will be installed on internal storage itself. So whatever the size that app consumes internal storage takes it.
You got a solution too, use link2sd
