[GUIDE]GT-S6102 Link Data & Dalvik-Cache Manually to SDExt2 via Root Explorer - Galaxy Y Duos S6102 Android Development

In my recent post, I posted SNS Integration that I deodexed it myself, but recently I got some trouble,
because it drain my internal storage (About 15MB space) and I've been thinking how to solve it.
This guide is for those who use Link2SD, because Link2SD cannot move data into sdcard second partition.
When you see SNS in system apps via Link2SD, the data files consume up to 15MB,
because I sync my twitter and facebook to my contact, and this cause a problem for me,
because It consumes internal storage.

This is how I do it :
Warning!
If you want to link data files manually, the EASIEST way is NOT to link any lib files with Link2SD. Leave it unlinked, so you can easily link the ENTIRE data folder.​

First, you must have link2sd, so that you have sdext2 folder in your /data/ , like this :
Then open your Root Explorer.
You will see your root directory like this :
Then tap the data folder :
After that, scroll down until you see data folder in your data folder (Dataception)
Then tap it.
Now it should shows all your app data in folder like this :
Now choose the App Data Folder that we want to link,
in this case I use com.sec.android.app.sns (SNSProvider that I deodexed in my previous post)
Then long press the folder, and it should show dialog box like this, select Copy.
After that, go back to data folder, and locate your sdext2 folder
Tap sdext2 folder, and locate data folder in it.
Then tap it, and tap Paste.
Then scroll down and see your com.sec.android.app.sns in it, then long press it.
The dialog box should show up, scroll down and select Link to this folder.
After that, back to /data folder
Then tap data folder in data folder again to enter it. After that, scroll down to see com.sec.android.app.sns folder, we are going to delete it.
Long press the folder, the dialog box should show up, tap delete, tap yes.
Then tap create link, and voila! your com.sec.android.app.sns folder is linked to your SDCard second partition!
It should look like this :

Thanks to MNgez question, I was able to try this way on dalvik cache files, That Link2SD don't link if we don't link our application with it, like dalvik cache files for system app.
So yesterday I experimented it again, and it works! Just do the same way for data files, what differs is we link the dalvik cache file, not data folder. If it succeed, Link2SD also recognize our manual dalvik cache link like this :
Open your Root Explorer. Then navigate to /data/dalvik-cache like this, and you will see dalvik cache files :
Then scroll down to see the dalvik cache file that we want to link,
In this case I'll link PhoneSky (Google Play Store) so we search for the file that has phonesky in it.
Then long press the [email protected]@[email protected], the dialog box should shows up, select Move.
Navigate back to /data, then tap sdext2
Scroll down, until you see dalvik-cache folder, tap it.
You should see dalvik-cache files in it, then just tap paste.
Then scroll down until you see your newly dalvik cache file, Long press in it
The Dialog box should shows up, scroll down and tap Link to this file.
Go back to /data folder, navigate into dalvik-cache folder and tap it.
After you're in /data/dalvik-cache folder, tap Create Link
If it succeed, it should look like this :
Voila! Your dalvik cache file has been linked to your SDCard second partition, and Link2SD recognize your manual link! Enjoy!

These is Curently The Newest way :good:
But Manually and Without Auto Link or Move by Apps
But I still not need Moving any Data to SD, Only need Dalvic to SD...
[Ask] Is it will Work with Stock ROM?
I've Know that U R in TD not Stock Like Mine...
Too bad I'm to Scarry to do these...:angel:

Yes, because as far as I know there's only a2sd from darktremor that can move app data to SDCard second partition,
so I've been searching for a way to link app data myself with Root Explorer.
If you use link2SD, you can just link application files, it will link dalvik cache too by default in your sdext2.
This will work, because Link2SD support Stock ROM and you will need root permission for Root Explorer.
With Link2SD -> you can link apk, dalvik cache, lib files but NOT data files, so I post these.

Good news, it works. Just move the real dalvik cache file in /data/dalvik-cache to /data/sdext2/dalvik-cache, create link to its original folder and it will work, just like data files.
I will add to first post soon.

Could you help me... Please...
Becouse actually i love Link2SD since its more stable than a2sd DT
and also Link2SD always Updating not just like a2sd DT that already stop the Development
Link2SD is already support Ext4 that Better than Ext3 or Ext2.
A2sd DT only Ext2 we must modify the scrip to make it support ext3 and ext4 but still always Support BOOTLOOP

apps2sd question!

Phone: CDMA Hero
ROM: fresh2.0d
When I installed fresh2.0d rom, I thought it had built in a2sd which I confirmed later by listing apps in /system/sd/app folder. Now my confusion is every time I install an app, I see internal memory size decrease!!!
Is this how it should work? Am I getting my concepts wrong? If it's a problem, is there a fix?

Some things will write information out to dalvik-cache. By default its on the phone. I went from ~50MB - 130MB after moving dalvik. My new a2sd script will move it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=667011 but I have only written it for damagecontrol so far.
Also some apps will write to /data/data/ (google earth put 25mb here) this cannot be moved to SD because of upgrade issues.,

Thanks Treve! Can I remove the file in /data/data/ with command line or will it disrupt anything? Also, are there other places that I can go and delete cache manually?

no dont just delete stuff. If your looking to save space cachemate from the market will help. also if you feel like testing damagecontrol + my a2sd with dalvik move changes check out the thread above.

Only installing the apk will not work. You can try the gingerbread keyboard from the market. The difference in this keyboard is that the keys are perfect.
Have you used openrecovery earlier?

Any other details would be nice to have, safestrap/bootstrap, any files you edited.
If you're using safestrap, and restoring from a non-safe to a safe system, there could be a problem, you would have to get Hashcode for confirmation though..

Oh, sorry, I thought saying CWR 5.0.2.6 was enough to indicate Koush's modded bootstrapper. But yes, it's bootstrap. I made the nand before i flashed over MavRom to try the tweaked dock addon, it didn't work as I liked, so I tried to restore it, not even 30 mins after making it, and it failed. I talked, on Twitter, to HashCode for a bit and he finally said go talk to Koush, so I plan on doing that later today.

There could be a possibility that its just a bad nandroid backup too..
When I did a restore with the same bootstrapped cwm I got the same error, but I just rebooted my phone anyways and everything was restored.

I got a hold of Koush pretty easily with Twitter. I'm going go make a video of the error here within the next hour or so. Gotta make a nand first, just in case it decides to work this time.
I am experiencing the same error with Droid 3 Bootstrap and 5.7.894.
This happened to me in the past with Safestrap, because I accidentally hit the back button and cancelled the backup during safe system toggle. Had to uninstall/reinstall safestrap.

I have an idea and I'm doing some testing now. If it works, I'll edit the OP with what I did. As of now, it all makes sense it my head.
EDIT: How can I make a .tar file? I currently am using 7zip and it's hitting an error.
Ok, I may be making progress here. The ArchiDroid seems to be helpful. We'll know in a bit here when it completes.
EDIT 3: Here's where I'm stuck.
1. Download ArchiDroid
2. Extract system.ext3.tar from my most recent backup on my ext SD card.
3. Move "su-backup" from the newly extracted system folder to my ext SD card directory.
4. Use ArchiDroid to recompile the system folder.
5. Rename system.tar to system.ext3.tar
6. Move system.ext3.tar into the host folder of my newest Nandroid backup.
7. Reboot into CWR and restore.
*MD5 Mismatch*
Any ideas?
Trying something else here... Details in 20 or so. If it works, it's practically idiot proof and how it illuded me makes me want to...
EDIT: It's a work in progress... :/
Ok so here's what I did. su-backup is stored in the /system directory. I tried deleting it, then making a nand backup, then restoring it. But as soon as su-backup is deleted (I put a copy on my ext SD), it regenerates itself. I uninstalled Root Keeper, but something remains that causes it to regenerate, thus the restore fails.
EDIT2: Currently Tweeting with the VooDoo Root Keeper dev. trying to find how to delete this da** thing.
Download an app called Titanium Backup, backup all of your apps, and SBF back to stock. That's how I solve my phone problems

If you change anything in the backup the md5sum changes as well. The md5 cwm is checking against doesn't match. I'd think there's a file somewhere in the nandroid that contains the md5 sum to check for. You could maybe try replacing Yeh old md5 with the new one.
Good luck.

Have it. I don't want to have to SBF from a computer though. Being able to use CWR is ideal.

That's a good idea. Back to the lab...
Also, I talked to the dev of VooDoo Root Keeper. He made some pretty good points about possible bugs in CWR that could be making it fail when it shouldn't. From Twitter @supercurio
there's a bug in nandroid if it fails to deals with su protected backup that must be fixed, because it uses standard Extfs features.
Aren't latest recoveries supposed to format partitions instead of trying to remove files recursively? First bug's here.
if you really has to to delete it manually, chattr -i /system/su-backup
yes, as superuser indeed. chattr tool should be part of your busybox, if not, look into my app's /data directory. Then rm su-backup

Number 2 won't work properly vfat filesystems cannot retain the permissions and ownership. It should be extracted on a Linux box or if there's room you could extract it to a temp directory on /data which will retain the permissions.
Another option that might work is Total Commander it should be able to delete files from an archive without extracting. It is not in the market, search google for it.

I can't find a non-beta working version of TC, so I'll try the extract to /data later. Also, I can't seem to get the adb method given to me by @supercurio to work.

When I try to start the beta, it says it's a beta and I have to click a text box closing it. Send me your apk? And could you type up the exact script for what to enter into adb to push busybox with chattr and then the command to erase the file? Thanks. I only started using adb last night! :O!

I'm multibooting FroyoPro2.5 with alfsV8a-GDX kernel.. I think stock kernel is easier to setup..
Anyway, THIS is the file you need.. When it is extracted during the install it will make a 512MB data file for the sdcard install.. You'll be able to fill this with your apps etc.. You'll need at least a class 6 sdcard for this to work well.
Just follow the instructions carefully and you should be fine..

Good and thanks, but I need to check my SD-Card first if I have changed to EXFAT.
Can you make one script for xperia TX?
Sorry if it's a wrong forum, because TX has no forum and it's dead there.

thx for bringing the script to the xperia z. Have had it on my note 2 and missed it.
Would be nice if you could explain exactly what this app does, since not all of us came from samsung phones. And at least viewers don't have to look for the original thread to read what it's all about. =)
PS: The original app also support extfat. What about this version?

From what I understand about it is, that it mounts the external sd as the internal sd and vice versa. The phone then recognizes the external card as internal storage and installs the app data and any other data (e.g. Downloads) on it as it would do on the original internal storage. About exfat, I dont't know much, but I think the kernel from the Z doesn't support exfat right now and the samsung one does support it.

No prob. Glad, I could help.
Thanx for the clarifications. I have another questions though. Seeing that it will now use the external sdcard as an internal sdcard, what happens to the actual internal sdcard? Will it still be used? Or it just stays there and becomes redundant?
Ive rooted my XZ LOCKED BOOTLOADER.. I ve tried Link2SD so I can move and install apps to my SD but that was no good..anyway found your thread here and applied it to the letter with my 4 GB sd and after reboot script manager was granted his SU permissions and after that the phone died...rebooted itself again and after script manager gained its SU permission it died again...and again and again...dont know why and dont know how to fix it..

to stop the reboots simply go to recovery and wipe data and cache. Dont know why you would use this if you have only a 4gb card??
how can i change again

AFAIK the actual internal sdcard is purely used as storage, as the external sdcard would be used, if it wasn't reversed. Correct me, if I'm wrong, 'cause I'm no expert.

Maybe it's just me but, adfree does not work after doing this.
Says its working but ads still popup. Worked fine when running off internal SD
