[MOD]App2ExtSD2 [Works for all U.S. Galaxy S3!]

This is a hack that that allows you to swap internal storage with your external SD card so you can increase your app data storage.
All credits go to original i9300 App2ExtSD Hack by mattiadj. I simply hacked it to work with U.S. versions and also I've added code so it will disable this feature when you don't have a microSD card inserted (app storage will default to internal when no microSD card is inserted).
E.g. If you have 16GB internal storage on Galaxy S3, you can install this witih a 64GB microSD card and swap the storage and get 64GB on your app storage instead of 16GB.
Before you can use this, you will need:
1) Rooted Galaxy S3 (SCH-I535/SPH-L710/SGH-T999/SCH-I747) or also Canadian versions too (i747m, etc...etc...)
2) A ROM/kernel with init.d support!
3) I've only tested this with TouchWiz-based ROMs, so it should work on stock ROMs and any TouchWiz-based ROMs, not sure on CM9 or CM10.
4) You must use the FAT32 or EXTFAT zip file below, depending on what format your microSD Card is in! (e.g. if you have a FAT32 microSD card, use FAT32)
To get this working, simply flash the zip files in your CWM Recovery:
Download and Details:
http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-t...-external-microsd-for-u-s-canadian-galaxy-s3/
If you do not have init.d support, you can also enable on any rooted phone by using Script Manager, here's a quick tutorial:
I recommend you to FORMAT your microSD card once to get camera working flawless before using this hack!
How to disable this:
If for some reason you are having trouble, simply delete /system/etc/init.d/11extsd2internalsd.
OR
if you leave your microSD card out during boot (then re-insert it after), your phone will work as normal (internal storage used for app data).

Has anyone tested this yet or am I the first? I installed this twice on a stock rooted rom and wiped my cache and davik but on each reboot, I had noticed it completly wipes my phone clean. Is it suppose to wipe your phone?

^^ This lol.
And what's the advantage to this besides more space if you have a bigger card? Are SD cards any faster than the memory Samsung put in?

You on TW or AOSP?
I don't have a good enough SD card to really warrant using this, but if it works it may influence my decision in investing the money on a new one.
EDIT: I'm going to try it out anyway. Give me 2 minutes to back up my files.

Worked like a charm for me. Even switched the apps I had installed to the SD Card (now device memory) which I wasn't expecting.
I'm on Blazer rom. All I did was install the zip and wipe dalvik cache (I'm not sure why I did that, only because mvaughn mentioned it and I know it won't wipe anything/was prepared for a wipe).
mvaughn, are you running a rooted tw rom with init.d support? And did you possibly wipe your data by accident?
Anyway, time to buy a 64gb card lol.
EDIT: Can also confirm deleting the file as stated and restarting your phone will switch the two back as well as move your apps back to the right spot. This is very neat.

Nopper didn't wipe anything, I'm running the stock rooted rom, let me check but I was sure the Stock had init.d support here is the link to the odex stock I installed

I'm fairly certain that is just the stock rom with root in it. Init.d is probably NOT supported. Try and grab a rom with Init.d support. Blazer Rom and FreeGS3 can be very close to stock and add a lot of cool features.

There was a script to add Init.d and I cant find the link lol time to search I thought I added this script to the stock.

Maybe not....I tested this out so if you have all the requirements it should work fine. Maybe the wipe was a result of not having the Init.d.

You might have to copy all of your contents from internal to sdcard to get it back. OR use Titanium Backup app to backup or restore.
You can always take the sdcard out and reboot, that will boot you normally then plug in sdcard once booted. (That's normal boot without the sd hack)

Stock ROMs do not have init.d support. You need a kernel/rom with the support, let me see if I can post a kernel with support shortly soon.

[Q] Why can't I get my files I deleted from system/App back?

When I delete files from system/App after rooting, why don't they come back after I wipe data and cache and flash stock rooted rom found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743923)?
It even didn't work when I went into settings and did a hard reset
The only way I got them back was to do what is listed here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904099) and start all over from a non rooted state
Any idea why?
Thanks

Did you format system too?
Hard reset or factory reset just will wipe data. If the system files was removed those won't be restored.
Just most be sure of format system.
In CWM is in advance and in TWRP is in Wipe. The second option in the right.

Only way would be if freeza's rom didnt have them. which it would. What file did u flash from his page? Are you sure you didnt download just the firmware? His file wouldve been around the same size as mine. 700-800mb. Unless you were flashing his deodexed version. mine is odexed which without a system wipe may have caused them to not show

[TOOL] --- Mega Wipe, Super Wipe, Factory Reset, Simple Wipe --- [ALL-In-ONE]

Everything listed below is the work of Zoot1. He created the original wipe script for the N7100 and I just modified it for the Sprint Variant SPH-L900. Some have asked for it, so here it is. I take no responsibility if you brick it nor will I support this script! It's simple enough!
​
Original Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1983489
zoot1's original thread said:
There are 4 Scripts:
1) MegaWipe
2) SuperWipe
3) SimpleWipe
4) Factory Reset
All 4 serve different purposes.
Megawipe: Use this zip to completely format your phone. It will delete everything in your phone and will bring it to bare bones. After it install any ROM for a fresh experience without any conflicts with in the frame work. It deletes the Data, Cache, System and Preload partitions of your internal memory. So Beware!
SuperWipe: This is a simple factory reset and you can use it to move from one ROM to another without bothering about framework conflicts. It deletes the Data Folders and Cache partitions of your internal memory. Will not affect the Internal SD card.
Factory Reset: Use it to do a Factory Reset, which wipes your Data partition, Cache Partition and Dalvik Cache. It will delete everything on your Internal SDcard.
SimpleWipe: A simple wipe is as the name suggests a Simple Cache and Dalvik wipe. You can use it to clear the said partitions before updating to a newer version of your ROM. Also, You can use it before you have flash a new ROM.
Also, I have read questions on how to completely wipe the phone..the MegaWipe zip will do it for you..just make sure you have a ROM to install on the ExtSdcard when you use it..

A bit confused as you say:
Requirements: You need to have
1. TWRP Recovery installed
How to use:
Just copy the required zip to your External SDcard and reboot into CWM recovery. Install the zip and you are good to go!
So can you use either recovery or just one or the other?
And a question, will this work with the GS3?

Two questions. Does this use Aroma like the one I grabbed before or does this work like the other Superwipes and work right from recovery and when do you plan on upping the 3x wipe?

[Q] Fail to flash any rom in my Note 2 sgh i317

Hello guys,
It's my first question to the forum. I hope you can give me a clue resolve this problem.
I bought a Note 2 SGH i317 some days ago.
It was my first root but with your trheads everything was ok (for some days).
I tried JediX, Custom Rom 4.2.5 and some other.
But after tried some custom roms, I noted that when I flash any rom the phone stucks on Samsung Galaxy Note II screen and I have to pull out the battery to turn off the phone.
I tried with many others roms and all did the same.
Later I realized that the flash process was very fast compared to the first ones, so I guess the flash proccess fails in some instance.
I returned to stock rom and root it again with same results.
I tried with CVM and TWRP.
I can restore some nandroid backups to get the phone working, but can't flash any rom now!
Do you have any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.

If flashing stock rom doesn't help, your internal memory might be corrupted, and might need to format it through recovery.
It's not a sure thing but it's another option to troubleshoot your problem. If you're gonna try that, make sure to backup all your stuff

It's hard to say what made it corrupt (if at all, remember, this is only an assumption). Could've been an app that caused it, could've been flashing a custom rom, and something went wrong during the flashing process.
If you're using twrp (which i highly suggest you do), in the 'wipe' menu there's an option to wipe internal sd. DON'T FORGET! before you do this make a nandroid backup and keep that backup on your external sd, or on your computer. Also, backup all your stuff, like pictures, music, etc.

The only thanks you could give is just hitting the thanks button on my answers to you. But you don't really have to, it's entirely up to you. If you think my responses are helpful to you, then by all means ... In order to close a thread you could ask a moderator to do so. I'm not sure you're obligated to do so.
Btw, if cwm gives you an md5 error, could be most likely because you changed the name cwm has originally assigned to that backup. To solve this, just change it to what it was. If you didn't change the backup name, you could try going into advanced menu in cwm and toggle signature check to disable

How to decrypt?

Simply format the data partition. (once you have to type: "YES", than you are at the right menu option)
It will delete ALL personal files (photos etc..)
Once you've done, you can go to the System settings to verify it.

Confirmed formatting the data partition disables encryption as well as any saved file so back up to pc or cloud if you have pictures movies docs you can't live without

Actually, you must be rooted, you must then flash a kernel that does not force encryption (or no force encryption zip), Then you format data. Yes, you will then loose your data. Follow the link, it's laid out pretty clearly for the N6 but the procedure for any Nexus is the same. There are a few other ways to do it but for the basics follow the link.

correct, however the OP already has a rooted device with TWRP. You can have root rights on 5x if you have installed a modified boot image. Therefore he/she has to format the data partition only.
"I got a rooted stock ROM with TWRP. When I go to TWRP I don't see any option to decrypt?"

It will not work, for advanced security reasons the encrypted device is the standard on Marshmallow.
If you want to decrypt your phone and would like to get a bit snappier device, than the only way is the rooted device. You do not have to install a custom Rom, just unlock the bootloader, install a modified kernel and format the Data partition.

This has nothing to do with root. The only prerequisite is a kernel with forced encryption disabled and formatting data after flashing such kernel.
You don't need to be rooted to run unencrypted.

I'm on ElementalX kernel.
If I backup the data partition, then format it to disable encryption, and then restore data, will it work?

Hi, did you try the "backup and restore", does it work?

acsontos said:
Simply format the data partition. (once you have to type: "YES", than you are at the right menu option)
It will delete ALL personal files (photos etc..)
Once you've done, you can go to the System settings to verify it.

A BIG THANK YOU @acsontos
This imho is the most valuable information for a newcomer, so this post should be a sticky. Once you know it, you think everybody knows it. I was at my wits end trying decrypt questioning my move to N5X from N5, till I found this post. Many misleading posts around that make you go around in circles. Thanks again man!

So not need to flash kernel? Just root and clear the partiton?

Only format data. Internal SD Card gets automatically formatted. Take your backups.
