Root [A2SD|D2SD|INT2EXT]Universal Method to Increase Internal Memory

[mastermind1024]

I find a useful script from xda which will increase the internal memory of the device n the best thing is,
ITS UNIVERSAL....
It will work on any device n any rom which has root access n init.d support...
I m just sharing work of user croniccorey from xda, all credits to him...n please thank him too on xda..here is the link for original thread.
[SCRIPTS]CronMod-A2SD/D2EXT/INT2EXT (updated 08/06) - xda-developers

Devs can also use theses scripts to their roms provided they give proper credits to the creator of the scripts on their respective rom thread.

I have tested INT2EXT+ script on my own port from another device as its the best option among the all scripts.The dev also recommend it n I also recommend it.

INT2EXT scripts are new and faster then D2EXT, They are also the first universal INT2EXT method released

Spoiler

CAUTION:
You will loose your IMEI numbers after using the script...n possibly other NVRAM related data too...

EDIT(12/8/12, 23:32):
Now here I come in action again, I have modded the original INT2EXT+ script and solved that IMEI n nvram related bugs...I will share here my modded scripts only, for original scripts go to the original thread.
Other script will be modded on demand.

Buddy the scripts worked as at the first boot the IMEI was not not available so rebooted the phone again and then the script is all set and now having the internal memory as 155mb used and 857mb free...

 

[strangething]

@ masterminded

Thanxs for the good work ...

 

[maheshyd]

question : do we need to factory reset to the previously done link2sd & data2xd scripts?

I am trying it on BT Rom

 

[ashoknraj]

hi buddy i used the same in BT 1.1 it works great but the phone became very slow after increase in internal storage.

 

[RD07]

what is that?

buddy he tries to say that either u download the cronMod scripts from xda or try the int2ext+_mastermind.zip from here .!!

while, the cronMod scripts delete your imei and other nvram stuff ,, on the other hand the one given by mastermind keeps that safe.!!

guys how to do sd ext partition as it is needed b4 stepping into this method...

firstly backup your sd card coz when u will make partition then all the data will be formatted.!!
then reboot to recovery
- advanced
- partition sd card
- select ext size any 1 u want
- then do swap size 0

woila done.!!
to check install link2sd and create ext2 mount scripts and after reboot you go to link2sd and click settings and then click storage info.!!
you will see 2nd part mounted.!!

No idea but did u used it on heavily loaded data partition means lot of apps installed???
N ya, no other mountscripts should be there,if u were using link2sd then remove 11link2sd from init.d plus install-recovery.sh from /etc...n u will lose ur apps so better to factory reset after removing the scripts.
If u were on data2sd by me then remove same install-recovery.sh from /etc plus 01e2fsck, 02data2sd n any zipalign script also from init.d...
I never try that on heavily loaded data partition as I know empty data partition(or atleast minimal) is good for script on 1st run, take less time to move contents to new partitions...

After these steps
-Select "mounts and storage" category
-Select "format /sd-ext"
did you formatted sd ext if not then you need to do that as if when u select format /sd-ext then after that it will ask to choose yes from the array of no so select it and its done. Remember reboot twice but with a gap of atleast 10mins.

The script can handle heavily loaded data partition but reason of ur bootloop is Link2SD...u need to completely remove link2sd...the scripts i mentioned.this will make ur apps useless as u have linked them...so instead lending into trouble i would suggest to backup ur apps using titanium and factory reset...then try the script...

@ALL
SCRIPT HAS BEEN CHANGED LITTLE BIT TO SOLVE IMEI PROBLEM, DOWNLOAD NEW SCRIPT AGAIN...JUST UPLOADED NEW SCRIPT.
THANKS & SORRY FOR INCONVENIENCE.

Ok have downloaded the updated one and will flash it but have a doubt what does this mean "Other script will be modded on demand" as mentioned in you post can you let me know??? Are they also usefull and do we need them with the script you provided as if have read about them on the original thread and was confused which one to choose and there u come in again with the answer as providing a MODDED script so please let all of us know do we need all of them or this one is enough???

 

[darbhadinesh]

not working with blue terror

Edit: working on blue terror, system is little bit slow, thanks for the same.

I also request you to do some thing for SWAP memory to increase RAM, so that system speed may be improved.

Thanks a lot mastermind.

buddy as said by you i uninstalled link2sd and already backup my apps by titanium ..
but the boot loop continues on my phone.!!

same problem for me also.. Removed link2sd, format data, cache etc but still boot loop.. Any suggestion..
Is there any file that we have to delete manually even after uninstalling Link2sd?
