[Q] how to install program in the streak 10 pro's SD card

I don't know if it's correct to ask this question here.I find all thread about streak 10 pro is here.I got a dell streak 10 pro.It has a 16G rom.I update it to 3.2. And flash it to Chimera Dorid r2 . I want to move some app to the sd card. but I failed. I follow the instruction I found in this forum. First make an two parartion in SD card. Then copy the sh.sh,mount_sd.sh,busybox,app2sd.sh. Last exec app2sd.sh. but I failed.
1.I found I can't exec the android shell again. In system/bin there is sh and sh_bak. sh size is 0.I think sh_bak is the sh's backup .rootexplorer,terminal also can't run.I use "adb pull /system/bin/sh_bak sh",but sh_bak is not an object of file or dictionary. how can I restore the the sh?
2.I install app2Sd but it said can't move any app to sd, for the sd is emulated. I found the sd I plug in ,his name is sdcard2.sdcard is the system disk. its size is 16G. so the 16G rom is mount as sdcard .This is why I can't move app to it .So how can I mount SD correct? and move app to it?

It's counterproductive to move it to sdcard, as sdcard/ is actually data/media.
You must move it to sdcard2 to get any real effect, as you've seen HC does not support moving to the sdcard.
SH isnt a file, it's a symlink to ash, the command processor used in HC. You need to repair the symlink between ash <-> sh.

thank you for reply
Yes,I know the sdcard is not the actual sd, sdcard2 is my aid, how can I do that .I am studying the app2sd.sh , I think with little modify I can do that.but it need time. I don't know android sh.
how can I repair the systemlink in this case , I can't use the adb sh,

I think I found the way I can do it like this:
adb pull /system/bin/ash sh
adb push sh /system/bin/sh
and would you think : remove the virtual sdcard , make the sdcard as the actual sdcard is an good idea for the next ver of rom

I try this way but I can't push the ash,for sh is read-only file system

How small is /data that you'd even need to use Apps2SD/Apps2Ext? My DS7 has a 2G /data partition and I have tons of stuff on it and it's only about 50% full.

you need to remount it first into R/W, its normally loaded in R/O

HOW TO: Run games from USB drive

NOTE: Currently only working on Android 4.1.2. I'll look for a workaround when my new OTG cables come in.
So I purchased the 8 GB Nexus 7 and began to regret not getting the 16 GB version. These 1-3 GB games are killing me. I purchased The Bard's Tale (great game btw) and the TegraHD version requires 3.5 GB! I already had a USB OTG cable so I began looking for a way to store the game data on the USB drive and mount it to the data directory on the sdcard.
You will need:
Compatible USB OTG Cable
Paragon NTFS&HFS+
GScript Lite
Compatible kernel (ntfs read/write support)
I've tested this on ParanoidAndroid and SGT7 but it should work on any rom.
Note: Each game requires a game data folder on the USB drive that matches my script (or you can create your own folder and edit the script). You will also need a blank folder on the sdcard (/sdcard/android/data/GAMEFOLDER_from_Script - You have to use this folder name). Once this folder from the USB drive has been mounted to the correct position on the SDCARD, the game data will download to the USB drive.

NTFS USB Drive STEPS:
Plug in USB drive to Nexus 7 and unmount if the system automounts the drive (Settings - Storage - Unmount shared storage)
Open Paragon NTFS&HFS+ and mount the USB drive using the automatic mount point setting (/storage/usbdisk).
Open GScript Lite and run a game script to bind mount the game data folder to the sdcard.
Enjoy your game and extra space!
When done, unmount with Paragon NTFS&HFS+.
FAT32 USB Drive STEPS:
Plug in USB drive to Nexus 7, it should be automounted by the system to the default location: /storage/usbdisk
Open GScript Lite and run a game script to bind mount the game data folder to the sdcard.
Enjoy your game and extra space!
When done, unmount via the system: (Settings - Storage - Unmount shared storage)
Assuming your USB drive is mounted on /storage/usbdisk/ and you have created the empty game data folder on the sdcard (/sdcard/android/data/GAMEFOLDER_from_Script), the following scripts should work:
Code:
Script for Horn:
mount -o bind /storage/usbdisk/Horn /sdcard/Android/obb/com.Phosphor.Horn.Paid
Script for Bard's Tale:
mount -o bind /storage/usbdisk/BardsTale /sdcard/Android/data/com.inxile.BardTale
Script for Max Payne:
mount -o bind /storage/usbdisk/MaxPayne /sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.maxpayne
Script for Dead Trigger (gave me an error the first time opened but worked fine afterwards):
mount -o bind /storage/usbdisk/DeadTrigger /sdcard/Android/obb/com.madfingergames.deadtrigger
Script for Shadow Gun THD:
mount -o bind /storage/usbdisk/shadowgun /sdcard/Android/data/com.madfingergames.shadowgun_thd
Script for Asphalt 7:
mount -o bind /storage/usbdisk/Asphalt7 /sdcard/Android/obb/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftA7HM
Script for The Dark Knight Rises:
mount -o bind /storage/usbdisk/TDKR /sdcard/Android/obb/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftKRHM
Script for Mass Effect Infiltrator:
mount -o bind /storage/usbdisk/MassEffect /sdcard/Android/data/com.ea.games.meinfiltrator_na
I'll add more scripts as time permits.
Alternate Method (No scripts needed but you loose SDCard when USB drive is mounted):

Yeah that's pretty much what I'm doing with GScript (directory bind mounts from one device to another)... still have to unmount via Storage and use Paragon if you want to use NTFS drives.

Got usb mounted and had a go at the script, but keeps saying directory not found
Could you possibly do a video?

[Re-OPEN] SanDisk 64BG EXT4/exFAT N.E.A.K. Kernel

Hello,
I re-open this thread because I have new information about the compatibility of N.E.A.K. kernel with my card formatted in exFAT.
N.E.A.K. Kernel don't support this file system!!! That's the reason why my card doesn't work with...
I restart to "0" because I think the alone solution is to use EXT4 with auto-mount at boot.
@ scote (or other):
Can I use your manual mount cmd on init.d or other way?
Hello,
With n7100 international + Omega v10 (Android 4.1.2 based) + N.E.A.K. kernel v1.4x
With various µSD card (but especially with my new Sandisk UHS 64Go) I would know how to use ext4 filesystem.
After computer formatting in ext4 the card can't be really usable by phone:
- Storage menu don't see him.
- Recovery can't do anything with (mount / format)
- Some apps can see him. (like empty 64GB / or 0Gb card capacity !)
- ES Files explorer work with but by the /mnt/extsd/card directory and if no SD card in slot work to !!!
thus I expect doesn't work really
If you have any information about what work, can or can't work, or anything about filesystems, software...
Thank you

I had the same thing happen. I plugged it not my computers sd card reader and the computer acted as if nothing was there. I tried to force a format through DOS but it failed. Ultimately I had to buy a new MicroSD card.... Now it works.

Update: Card doesn't work with my reader/computer
What file system are you using?

Why not just use exFat? It useable on Note 2 and readable by Windows. Just make sure to use the latest TWRP for system bqckup

Re: SD Card file system usable by OS apps
You can mount ext4 file system manually if you are rooted, from a terminal or adb shell
mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 <some directory>
substitute <some directory> with the path without the <> I used /sdcard/mnt
of course if you wont be able to read the card with windows pcs
I think there might be an app to do this for you, usb mounter

Android won't mount ext4 by default.
Also, windows can't mount ext4 drives but you can use something like minitool partition wizard to reformat it to ExFAT or NTFS if you're on samsung ROMs, or Fat32 if you're using CM/AOSP ROMs.
Pongster said he'd be making a test kernel to see if he can get ext4 to auto-mount in the HyperDroid JBX thread, but that's not released yet.

You aren't using TWRP 2.4.0.0 or 2.4.0.1 by chance?

!!! Sorry, XDA doesn't mail me for new answer.

Thus can't be used like a FAT SD Card? By Samy explorer and others softs? Can't be see by system like an external card, not possible to manage it very good (capacities disponnible by exemple) ?

Re: SD Card file system usable by OS apps
Once its mounted any explorer or app dont care or know what the filesystem is

Yes, but can I will see the SD like a "normal" FAT formatted card?
I want to say, in menu/storage like a external SD?
If the card like this, have all the same functionality of FAT card, can you help to auto-mount at boot?
My card is actually broken: phone or PC won't see anything when connected
'll try with a new 64GB in few hours.

I don't see how it related. Both fat and exfat are MS. And exFat is the only option works across Note 2 Android, TWRP,Windows, and can be mounted as thumb drive (with the benefit working with > 4gb files). It's up to you if you want to get yourself into troubles by using other format.

I like more ext4, but apparently this is a little bit difficult to do what I want (And I think it's what broke my firts SD). Thus I'll use extFAT for my new one.
That's work perferctly! Just funny to see my new card in packging pre-formatted in extFAT...
All is good for me now, thanks you every body for your help ;p

[HOWTO] Expand storage space with Link2SD and SDExt2Mounter

I guess everybody would like to expand the Ouya's internal memory. I tried the usual tools, and although DirectoryBind is working, it doesn't help much because there are no obb or data directories to be moved for Ouya games.
However, Link2SD works just fine!
Prerequisites:
Installed SuperUser on Ouya
Link2SD apk
USB drive with a 2nd primary partition formatted as ext4
There are plenty of guides that explain how to get the SuperUser apk installed, so just use the search button above.
The Link2SD apk you can install on your phone from Google Play, and copy it to some place from where you can install it on your Ouya.
Use any tool (gparted, MiniTool Partition, etc.) to create a 2nd, primary partition on your USB drive, and format it to ext4. Use the search button if you are in doubt.
Now, Link2SD does not seem to recognize that there is indeed an ext4 formatted 2nd partition on the USB drive.
To make it work you have to mount it manually (see below), or install my SDExt2Mounter for Ouya, or use the script in post #3.
Manual way:
So, insert the USB drive in Ouya, and do the following:
[in adb shell]:
su
mkdir /data/sdext2
mount -t ext4 /dev/block/vold/8\:2 /data/sdext2
exit
:victory: Now start Link2SD on the Ouya, and start using that cumbersome touchpad to move apps and data (use the Link button, as Move to SD card does not work for Ouya) to your new found storage space! There are some options in the Link2SD menu to make all future installed app be automatically moved (and linked) to the new location, but I haven't tested that one yet.
Of course things will break if you remove the USB drive from the Ouya, and if you really power down the Ouya, you have to make sure you first mount the ext4 partition before the launcher starts, or you cannot use the games!
Use SDExt2Mounter:
Make sure you have rooted your Ouya and installed busybox; you will have to reroot your Ouya after each firmware upgrade!
Install SDExt2Mounter; you will find the app in the "PLAY" menu, not in the "MAKE" menu. Yes! My first Ouya app!
Start SDExt2Mounter
Grant it PERMANTENT root access if asked
Press the (make and) mount button
Press the AutoMount on Boot button
Reboot your Ouya
After the reboot step, your Ouya will automatically mount the sdext2 partition so your games will show up in the launcher. Obviously, you only need to go through these steps once.
Start the app, grant it PERMANTENT root access, and hit the "(make and) mount button".
Changelog:
v1.2: Added Automount option to mount sdext2 on boot, so your games show up in the launcher.
v1.1: Corrected directory path; added SuperUser permission

Awesome! on the todo list.. FYI though be sure not to put your main launcher or su stuff on the linked partition.

here i have made smal script....extract it to system/etc/init.d an then install Universal Init.d
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androguide.universal.init.d&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5hbmRyb2d1aWRlLnVuaXZlcnNhbC5pbml0LmQiXQ..
Now open the app and give it su permissions and turn inti.d support on! Now all goes automatically

What happens if you start up your OUYA with the USB drive not plugged in? Would it just not show the apps? Or maybe show an error? Basically I'm wondering if there could be any complications with the OUYA if I forgot to add the HDD to the OUYA before turning it on.

The links are basically shortcuts made to the app on the new partition. The same idea if you remove a drive with all your steam games on it, worst case the shortcut won't work.
Also they would then just show a link icon instead of the actual app icon as this is rendered from a file in the apk itself.

After reboot even with the init script any linked apps were gone for me
Sent from my OUYA Console using xda app-developers app

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, since I am in no way an expert, but looking at the init.d script I think there should be a space in between 'shmkdir /data/sdext2' and 'mount -t...' ? Haven't powered down yet so I can't confirm whether it works or not.

I have this working great now!
When I tried to go to the play store and download Universal Init.d, it would force close upon opening. I had to search for and download an earlier version, Uni-init v1.0.apk.
It does take longer for my OUYA to boot now, so just wait for it.

Do you mind if I add this script into my Ouya ToolBox?
All credit will be given to you, of course.
Thank you!

Hope the author let you added asap it be pretty good

is there a way to verify the linking was successful?
i opened links2sd before i gparted my 1.5tb external and it said that there was no secondary partition..
then did the ext4 partition for 100gb and enabled the init.d support and moved the script linked in this thread to my new init.d folder created and then reboot my ouya
then when i opened up links2sd again it allowed me to make links so i did those on gta3 and gtaVC (which are about 1gb a pop) and after it finished i navigated to the /data/sdext2 folder in ES file explorer and it says the folder is empty... i then went into my system settings and it says that my internal storage is still the whack 5.78gb and that i only have like 1,21gb remaining (which is what was present before i tried the mod)..
Im purdy sure i followed everything like i am supposed to... plus it says that my usbdrive folder is empty now too??
so i went into terminal emulator and rebooted the device.. and now my usbdrive shows up, but the apps i linked aren't there in the make drawer and when i opened up links2sd, i cant find the apps i linked in the list at all and it says the second partition isn't found :/

Whats the best combo as far as speed and performance goes? Fastest usb vs SD Card (sandisk extreme pro) with usb adapter?

Since the author of the script in post #3 (natorus87) is not answering your question, I will. If you want to copy the concept in your ToolBox, that's perfectly fine with me. Also, if you want to add my app to your toolbox, that's fine too. If you want the exact script of post #3, you'll have to PM natorus87.

Ouya mounting app added
I added an app for the Ouya to do the manual steps of creating the folder and mounting the partition to the OP. The app needs root access (so be sure to reroot your Ouya after a firmware update). Note: it is an Ouya app, so it will show up in the "PLAY" menu instead of the "MAKE" menu...:silly:

You're right. I'm afraid I left the app in "testing" mode: it mounts to /data/sdext while it should be /data/sdext2. I'll update it tonight. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for reporting.

So now I am trying to get my ntfs formatted 64Gb sd-card to mount on my phone.
So I write 0 to the full sd-card to allow me to format my sd-card to ntfs on windows without error.
I install 'Paragon NTFS & HFS+ / Tools' on my phone to mount the sd-card it did not work.
So I let and am trying to mount my sd-card using the Terminal, so I use adb shell to access my phone Terminal.
so from what I have found out is that /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 should be my sd-card device, like /dev/sdb1 in linux,
and I am trying to mount it to /storage/extSdCard so I am running the command,
Code:
su
ntfs-3g /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /storage/extSdCard
and I am getting this error
ntfs-3g-mount: mount failed: Permission denied
I let as far as remounting everything in /proc/mounts to read/write mode and I still got the error and even doing
Code:
chmod 777 /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
chmod 777 /storage
chmod 777 /storage/extSdCard
and I still am get the error
ntfs-3g-mount: mount failed: Permission denied
anyone know what I am doing wrong I ran all the above command as root, and no luck anyone help please.
ps. I really don't what to use exfat every time I mount it in linux it end up getting corrupted and I use linux a lot, and I don't what to use fat32 just in case I ever end up make a file that larger 4G on my phone
Thank You!

I have no issues with the format tool from the phone under storage settings, I too use linux on my main PC and I can browse the card fine just by plugging my phone in with the ad card in it. You really shouldn't be trying to use ntfs with linux anyway, and in case you didnt know android is linux based, so that may be part of your problem. If your phone can read the card correctly then it sounds like an issue with your computer so i would look there possibly.

yea I know I should not use ntfs with linux, and I know android is linux based.
I think it the fact that I am using 64bit linux which is causing the problem with me being able to use exfat with linux
so I thought about trying to get ntfs to work on my phone because I have a ntfs storage partition on my main computer so I reboot into my windows partition and I never have a problem with that.
but anyway I just gave up with trying to use ntfs on my sd-card and format it to ext2 and got it working first try on my phone, now I just hope that next time I'm in windows and I need to move files to my sd-card it will not give me to many problem I know there are way to make it work.
But thank for the help anyway.
