Ofcourse... this is x8 forums

[suhel28]

when you type su it should show #

if it isn't than the following maybe the possibilities...

1.you haven't rooted your phone.
2. you don't have superuser installed on your phone
3. you didn't allow superuser permissions for your adb (usually when you type su a popup will appear on your phone asking permissions)

 

[kiz1983]

k thanx, forgot to allow permission on my phone ^^

 

[kiz1983]

check if the folder you've extracted on your SDCARD has the same file name as the one you've typed in cmd

You don't have to...

simply put & replace the busybox that is inside the zip file to

/system/bin

 

[Blitzkri3g]

Xrecovery is backing up everything as I type!

Suhel,I ve got one question!
Does Apps2SD needs partitions in order to work ok?
Whats the advantages of creating partitions?
Can we just use one and be done with it?
N.

Partition is required as if you don't do it... your card won't mount as usb storage... the pc will recognize whole of your card as system storage

 

[coman_nick]

GL Blitz! Remember to format your SD first

Ok! Got it! Thank you Suhel for the info!

GL Blitz! Remember to format your SD first

Hm,I still need some help regarding
this procedure though...
Sorry,bear with me and treat me as
completely mobile illiterate!

For Apps2SD I need to do the following:

1.Format the SD Card using the PC.
2.Create Partitions.
How many? What sizes?
Which partition should I use for which use?
Should I use for example a GB for apps
and the rest 14 GB for SD storage?
3.Can I use xRecovery to create those partitions?

Thank you in advance!

1. ok, I did it by phone settings
2. 2 partitions:
a: a FAT32 - regular SD card
b: a ex2 partition, recognized by linox(&android)
3. Don't think so. Better use
SD card partitioning - XDA-Developers

Just be patient and read carefully. You can always reflash the x8 2.1 rooted image if something is wrong. Or you can make a xRecovery backup

W T F ?!? 40 min for an aswer?

LOL Just kidding!

Well,I m making partitions using MiniTool s Partition software.

The files that were already on the SD Card should be copied back to the first new FAT32 partition right?
Also the same goes for the apps2Sd script file?

@Suhel:

Nope, I just have a lot of patience and will . And let's not forget about the help you gave us.

@Blitz:

Yes. And remember that nothing from your former card is important. It creates it's necessary files by itself. Only copy music, pictures an whatever you know is important.

The ext2 partition you won't be able to see in windows. It's ok.

How about 5 min anwer?
