Unable to install Kali in Samsung device - Samsung Galaxy Pocket

Hi Guru's
I'm trying to figure out if Kali will install under linux deploy app and will work on my Samsung galaxy pocket (GT-S5300)
Installation path = /data/sdext2/linux.img
Chroot directory = /data/sdext2/pogi
ENV directory = /data/sdect2/pogito
So I have inserted an SD card with 6GB ext2 partition, I plan to place the Kali on that but during installation I got the following errors
Code:

help please: set up swap w/o a2sd [pretty stumped at this point]

im trying to set up a linux_swap partition, but i dont want to use apps2sd, nor do i want to use cache2sd.
can someone point me in the right direction?

Just create the linux-swap partition and not the ext partition.
will i have to wipe?
and what is the recommended size?

Does that work now? I know it depends on how you are doing it, but assuming a build with auto apps2sd, the script just looks at partition number and will screw up if you do that. I think cyanogen has made adjustments in his experimental line.
im running cyanogen 4.0.4. will it work?

if the script does that couldnt you create a 1mb ext2/3/4?
You also need to edit the user.conf file.
linux_swap_en=1 # enable(1) or disable(0) linux swap
linux_swap_partition=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 # swap partition device
The usual setting is mmcblk0p3 but you need to set it to mmcblk0p2 because your linus swap part is going to be 2 instead of 3
This is for swap only with no compcache
#compcache related parameters
compcache{
compcache_en=0 # enable(1) or disable(0) compcache
cc_disksize=32 # Ram swap disksize - any number between 1 to 95 should work
cc_memlimit=18 # Limite the memory usage when backing swap is used
cc_backingswap_en=0 # enable or disable backing swap
cc_backingswap=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 # pointing to the backingswap partition device
cc_swappiness=60 # default 60
}
#Linux swap parameters
#
# linux swap can only be enabled if cc_backingswap_en is set to "0"
#
linux_swap{
linux_swap_en=1 # enable(1) or disable(0) linux swap
linux_swap_partition=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 # swap partition device
swappiness=60 # default 60
}
will compcache improve speed while running background applications?
so do i have to create an ext3 partition to put the userconf in there?
wait, where do i put the user.conf file then?
i read around and i think im supposed to put the user.conf file into /system/sd
i also enabled compcache. let me know if that is not advised.
with a 64mb swap
#compcache related parameters
compcache{
compcache_en=1 # enable(1) or disable(0) compcache
cc_disksize=70 # Ram swap disksize - any number between 1 to 95 should work
cc_memlimit=18 # Limite the memory usage when backing swap is used
cc_backingswap_en=0 # enable or disable backing swap
cc_backingswap=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 # pointing to the backingswap partition device
cc_swappiness=60 # default 60
}
#Linux swap parameters
#
# linux swap can only be enabled if cc_backingswap_en is set to "0"
#
linux_swap{
linux_swap_en=1 # enable(1) or disable(0) linux swap
linux_swap_partition=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 # swap partition device
swappiness=60 # default 60
}
i have an issue with a boot loop at th eandroid screen now
ok, so, if i dont boot with the sd card inserted, it boots, but then i get to the home screen and it says none of my apps are installed.
so i go to recovery, remove the user.conf file. and same thing
so i restore, and boot with the sd card in. same thing, bootloop.
and now im restoring, but not booting with sd card.
what happened? was i not supposed to enable compcache? or keep the cc_disksize at 32?
so, ive been following this thread

with this a2sd, it doesnt boot:

partition 1 is my fat32 which is whatever 8 gigs minus 64
partition 2 is 64 megs of linux_swap
WOW,
You have completely over complicated this. remove the user.conf file from every location you put it in, remove all partitions and leave it with none, boot in recovery and wipe, then reflash cyan 4.0.4. reboot. everything should be normal with no swap and it should ask you if you want to format the sd card. when you get it working normal post back here.
my whole point is not to wipe, and i dont want a2sd.
wiping and doing what you said above will enable a2sd.
what part of my previous post would enable apps2sd?
if you don't want to wipe, then at least do everything else i posted
ok, i removed all the user.conf and repartitioned my sdcard
now what?
reflash cyan 4.0.4 and boot so it will format the card
what is the make, size, and class of your sdcard?
why no apps2sd?

Voodoo install failed?

Hi, I have a Problem with the Voodoo kernel.
The install seems ok but there is no Voice which is speaking to me and the init_log was full of errors like cant mount, model not detected....

What should i do to get this problem fixed? Install Speedmod, delete the complete /Voodoo folder and try to reinstall?

Is Voodoo change automatic from rfs to ext4 during the install? Maybe there is at problem.Linda will not speak to me.

[Q] how to move dalvik-cache to ext in cm7.1.0 RC5 11.05.20?

milestone 1 on cm7 0.08-11.04.24 7.0.1 , i have one ext3 partition on my sdcard, everything was working fine,
but after upgrading to cm7.1.0 RC0 11.05.03 yesterday , i can't move the dalvik-cache to ext partition any longer.
even if i do this
mv /data/dalvik-cache /sddata/dalvik-cache
ln -s /sd-ext/dalvik-cache/ /data/dalvik-cache
next time phone reboots, it delete my link and create dalvik-cache directory in "internal storage" while not on my ext3 partition
when i boot into OR 3.3 , the ext3 partition is mounted as /sddata
if i boot into phone ui, the ext3 partition is mounted as /sd-ext
i tiried linking to both directory , none of them works
anyone knows how to do it ?
[edit] after updating to 7.1.0 RC5 11.05.20, the file update-07app2ext-dalvik.on.ext.zip provided by zeppelin doesn't work , ahhhhh.
You will need to edit the 07app2ext file in /system/etc/init.d
Yep.
I did this yesterday actually since my internal storage was getting too low for my liking.

It works on MIUI?
I think so.
It's based on CM7, yeah?
If people are using app2ext on MIUI then I'd say yes.
If it has an 07app2ext file, then it's 100% guaranteed.
What I did was I replaced the 07app2ext file in the update zip with the one above so when it gets flashed I don't have to do anything.
It has an 07app2ext file, so a replace with this and my app2ext didnt work anymore...
There is my older app2ext code:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
if [ "$SD_EXT_DIRECTORY" = "" ];
then
SD_EXT_DIRECTORY=/sd-ext
fi
if [ "`egrep -q $SD_EXT_DIRECTORY /proc/mounts;echo $?`" != "0" ];

ah... sometimes that happens...
If you were to put that in the MIUI update zip and flash it, it will work.
I don't know why that happens.
When it happened to me I couldnt figure it out either since I made sure the permissions stayed the same. Maybe it would work as a standalone flashable zip but I have never made one.
Zeppe, can you send me your 07app2ext and tell me what permissions it have? I have 500 mb in the ext partition but i can load it to maximum 'cause my internal storage get full. Now i have about 80 apps, and only 22mb left in the internal storage.
Attached.
Permissions are the same as other files in ect/init.d

xox
ooo
But when I did it manually, it didn't work
edit... try the attached update.zip... it just might work
either way, the file is in there.
BAZINGA! lol!! It works!!! Thanks a lot zeppelin!

zeppelinrox, can I apply this update on CM7 RC10? Is it safe to do it?
I want to move my dalvik cache to ext2 because my internal storage its almost full (less than 20MB free).
Yes its fine.
It's a mod of an overclock flashable zip so when you flash it, it gives an overclock related message.
You can also replace the app2ext script in the cm7 update with the one in this zip file with 7zip and without extracting the cm7 update.
I just leave it in AOR's update folder tho.
So when I flash a rom, I flash this too

Thanks for this script, it works perfectly.
I've applied the update from AOR and after move any app from SD to ext2 and reboot, CM7 moves dalvik cache for that apps to ext2.
Now, I suppose any time I update the ROM then before reboot I need to apply this script again.

Yes as an update would probably overwrite this app2ext script

Dual Boot Atrix CM9 (emmc) and CM7 (sdcard)

Recently I became interested in dual booting my Atrix, mainly for the fun of it, and because I like the convenience of quickly reverting to a different ROM without having to restore it from backup. I would also like to evaluate the performance of my system with sdcard in the loop among other things.
From my web research, it appears that multiple attempts at dual booting the Atrix have been made without much success. I have heard of SafeStrap, but I'm the kind of person who wants to know what’s happening inside the black box. So I decided to try my hand by flashing CM9 to internal memory and CM7 to my Patriot 16GB Class 4 micro-SD card. I did all of this on Ubuntu 11.10 using GParted, Android SDK and several Perl and Bourne shell scripts that I either customized or created.
I probably could have done this on Windows (which for example has Atrix USB drivers whereas Ubuntu does not) and perhaps be able to use available space on my 10GB emmc to host additional ROMs. But in spite of the lack of drivers, I felt more comfortable having a full-up, dedicated *nix-based OS on hand to support the experiment.
I decided to to push a stable ROM to sdcard (in this case, CM7.2 RC1), one that runs well without any patches --- because a stock recovery tool wouldn't recognize it.
The experiment was successful as I now enjoy my 3GB CM7 build running from SD card with stable browser, keyboard and camera. And I can still use Joker's Kitchen Sink to explore some of the many possible ROM configurations without touching the CM7 build.
YouTube video (3:38) showing reboots from one ROM to the other: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31TPyAguQ60
Preliminaries (Ubuntu)
GParted and Perl installed
Android SDK for Linux (i386) installed http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
I download testsign.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551711 , copy to Ubuntu <android-sdk-linux/tools> directory and extract zip there. This creates a testsign subfolder with testsign.jar file inside.
Atrix Filesystem Analysis
I boot my phone to CWM 5.0.2.0, open an Ubuntu terminal, get root (sudo -s), run adb shell and invoke the “edify” and “df” commands to view the current filesystem:
~ # edify
recovery filesystem table
=========================
0 /tmp ramdisk (null) (null)
1 /boot emmc /dev/block/mmcblk0p11 (null)
2 /cache ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p15 (null)

/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 322516 238496 84020 74% /system​
SD Card Partitioning
Next I get root on Ubuntu, connect SD card to PC, ensure SD card adapter switch is set to read/write, run GParted and shrink the vfat (fat32) partition to allow room for /system, /cache and /data in that order. Then I create these partitions as ext4 with sizes reasonably consistent with the existing filesystem on emmc.
Note: GParted did not see my internal (emmc) card, and it prefixed the sdcard partitions as “/dev/mmcblk0” instead of “/dev/mmcblk1”.
Now I exit GParted, pull sdcard from PC and reinsert into phone. Then I boot to CWM, connect phone to PC, enter adb shell and verify the new sdcard partition map using the onboard “parted” tool:
~ # parted /dev/block/mmcblk1
GNU Parted 1.8.8.1.179-aef3
Using /dev/block/mmcblk1

4 11.8GB 14.0GB 2217MB primary ext4

Clone CM7 to SD Card
Presently I have CM7.2 RC1 installed in emmc, and I want to clone this ROM to sdcard. But I first ensure that my phone is adequately charged, especially if I will be in CWM for a long time. My experience is that CWM can drain the battery, even when phone is connected to a powered USB hub.
I boot to CWM 5.0.2.0, open Ubuntu terminal on PC, get root (sudo -s), run adb shell and mount the new CM7 sdcard partitions.
Then I clone ROM to sdcard. (I did this over ADB, though in retrospect I probably could have done it more quickly with terminal emulator.)

Since the data partition is fairly large, I ending up using the “cat” command, which cut the transfer time to about 6 minutes….
~ # cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p16 > /dev/block/mmcblk1p4​
Flash CM9 to Internal Memory
Now I push Joker CM9 beta 0.6.0 zip to sdcard and install via CWM...

Modify CM7 Ramdisk, Re-pack ROM Zip and Re-sign
Now I modify ramdisk in the CM7 boot.img to mount the sdcard /system, /cache and /data partitions at boot time. To help streamline the mod, I wrote custom Perl scripts based on the ones linked here:
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images
My Perl script “unpack-romzip.pl” actually starts with a baseline ROM, extracts boot.img and then p****s out kernel and ramdisk directory from boot.img. Here is the script in action...
[email protected]:~/Desktop# ./unpack-romzip.pl update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-olympus+gapps.zip
Extract boot.img from update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-olympus+gapps.zip

Extract ramdisk zip to directory: update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-olympus+gapps.img-ramdisk
513 blocks
Delete intermediate file: update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-olympus+gapps.img-ramdisk.cpio.gz​

drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 2012-05-03 19:12 update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-olympus+gapps.img-ramdisk​
In this experiment, the only ramdisk file I will modify is init.olympus.rc: I do so by commenting out the /system, /cache and /data mount commands for the emmc partitions and creating equivalent mount commands for the sdcard partitions...
# mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system noatime nodiratime wait ro barrier=1
# mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p16 /data nosuid nodev noatime nodiratime wait barrier=1 noauto_da_alloc

mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk1p3 /cache nosuid nodev noatime nodiratime wait barrier=1 noauto_da_alloc​
Now I back out of ramdisk and run my other Perl script: repack-romzip.pl, which combines ramdisk and kernel to obtain a new boot image and then generates a repacked ROM zip. Here is the script in action...
[email protected]:~/Desktop# ./repack-romzip.pl update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-olympus+gapps.zip

I am almost ready to re-sign my CM7 ROM zip. But I first need to modify its updater-script to mount /system to /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 (sdcard) instead of /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 (emmc). So I edit the updater-script and change:
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p12");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p12", "/system");​
to
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk1p2");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk1p2", "/system");​
Now I invoke the java command below to re-sign the CM7 zip:
[email protected]:~/Desktop# java -classpath ~/android-sdk-linux/tools/testsign/testsign.jar testsign update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-olympus+gapps-repack.zip update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-olympus+gapps-repack-signed.zip
[email protected]:~/Desktop# ls -ld *.zip
-rw-rw-r-- 1 robert robert 125162795 2012-05-03 18:05 beta-0.6.0-cm-9.0.0-RC0-olympus-UNOFFICIAL-signed.zip

-rw------- 1 robert robert 104999357 2012-05-01 20:10 update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-olympus+gapps.zip​
Then I transfer the re-signed zip to sdcard/Download, reboot to CWM and install.
Test Results
I do some preliminary testing by attempting to boot CM9 from Joker's CM9 1.0GHz v4 boot image file:
[email protected]:~/Desktop# fastboot boot cm9-1.0-atrixv4-boot.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.204s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.002s]
finished. total time: 0.206s​
Success. Now I try CM7...
[email protected]:~/Desktop# fastboot boot update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-olympus+gapps-repack.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.182s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.002s]
finished. total time: 0.185s​
And to my delight, CM7 boots
Finally I install Script Manager and push my custom boot-rom.sh to sdcard/Boot. This script offers four options: Current ROM (default), CM9, CM7 or CWM recovery. Rebooting to the other ROM is just a few keystrokes away, though I must configure Script Manager to run boot-rom.sh as superuser (press SU button on configuration screen).

Conclusions and Thoughts
My Atrix dual boot capability offers an efficient means to circumvent instabilities in CM9 by providing a stable CM7 ROM to run from my sdcard. Of course there are limitations here in that a stock recovery won't recognize my CM7 build. But I'm fine with that since I probably won't patch.
I think it would be kind of interesting to push identical ROMs on emmc and sdcard and compare performance. I heard from a fellow engineer that Class 16 cards are now available.
It would also be interesting to explore refinements like multiple-boot from emmc and various forms of automation.
This is a work in progress and I appreciate your constructive feedback.

Wow thanks for the info. I wanted to give this a try but I had a question. If I partition my sdcard to the specs you provided, can I flash your resigned cm7 zip and it would flash it to my sdcard. If that is possible, could you post the modified cm7?
Wow....waiting is coming.......
Something you could look into is moving the apps to SD and let each rom build its own dalvik cache. Then you can keep your apps between both builds

I think you better get into developing roms, because it sounds like you have an amazing amount of knowledge with this technology. Something I can only hope to achieve, lol.
I think you should make a full length 45 min youtube clip to explain everything, but I know that's not gonna happen, so see how much you can cram into 5 minutes! lol
Nice job man, outstanding progression!

Here's the problem: I needed GApps on CM7 to provide the tools needed to support my experiment. However, Google has requested that copyrighted material be removed from CM7. So while I was able to streamline the integration of GApps with CM7, I could not provide the ROM, only the procedure. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25588129#post25588129.
IDK, maybe Google will soften up a bit...?

[script] [init.d] aNu_d2sd - data to sdcard

Features:
- Move only 3rd-party-apps/user-apps and its data to sdcard
- System-apps data (contacs,sms etc) are pretty much intact in-case of sdcard failure or removed so your phone is not rendered useless
- Install as many apps as you like (limited by your /sd-ext size), your internal data usage will remain around 40~45mb
Mechanism in general:
- mount /sd-ext
- copy selected /data directories ( app, data, dalvik-cache etc) to /sd-ext
- bind /data directories to /sd-ext directories ( not the /data it self )
- create new directories for system-apps-data in /data
- move system-apps-data to new directories in /data and sysmlink it
Requirement:
- Init.d supported rom
- Busybox
- primary linux formated 2nd partition on sdcard
- Root: only needed if not using recovery flashable zip
Installation:
- DWYOR, remember to backup first
- NOT WORKING with device already running similar init.d script ( but it might work if its only using bind mounts ),
- disable or remove it ( mountext, mountsd, ad2sd etc), then wipe if necessary
- flash the zip from CWM/Stock recovery mode
or
- manually put it in /system/etc/init.d
- set permission: 0750
- set owner: root group: shell
Important:
- Will effectively work after the second boot.
- DO NOT remove sd-card while system is running
- Curently TESTED only on mini and young with stock gb, possibly working on any device/version
Example script usage:
Called in mountext script (modified cm7 script):
Filename: 05mountext
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
#
# mount sd-ext partition in sdcard
# mod: use aNu_d2sd functions library script
#
# anuneanu
logI="log -p i -t mountext"
logE="log -p e -t mountext"
E2FSCK=`which e2fsck`
[ `which busybox` = "" ] && exit || BB=`which busybox`
[ "$SD_EXT_DIRECTORY" = "" ] && SD_EXT_DIRECTORY="/sd-ext"
# call aNu_d2sd function library script
. "/system/etc/init.d/99aNu_d2sd"
# find sd-ext partition
for MMC_NUM in `seq 0 9`; do
MMC_TYPE=`cat /sys/block/mmcblk$MMC_NUM/device/type`
if [ "$MMC_TYPE" = "SD" ]; then
SD_EXT_PART=/dev/block/mmcblk${MMC_NUM}p2
break
fi
done
# mount sd-ext if a valid partition was found
if [ -b "$SD_EXT_PART" ]; then
# check sd-ext filesystem
if [ -x "$E2FSCK" ]; then
$logI "checking $SD_EXT_PART for errors..."
$E2FSCK -p $SD_EXT_PART
e2fsk_exitcode=$?
else
$logE "executable e2fsck not found, assuming no filesystem errors"
e2fsk_exitcode=0
fi
# mount sd-ext partition
if [ $e2fsk_exitcode -le 2 ]; then
if [ $($BB grep -c ext4 /proc/filesystems) -ne 0 ]; then
mount_opt="-t ext4 -o noauto_da_alloc,data=ordered,commit=15,barrier=1,nouser_xattr,errors=continue,noatime,nodiratime,nosuid,nodev"
else
mount_opt="-t auto -o nosuid,nodev"
fi
$BB mount $mount_opt $SD_EXT_PART $SD_EXT_DIRECTORY
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
$BB chown 1000:1000 $SD_EXT_DIRECTORY
$BB chmod 0771 $SD_EXT_DIRECTORY
$logI "$SD_EXT_DIRECTORY successfully mounted"
aNu_d2sd "/data/app* /data/data /data/dalvik-cache /data/local"
else
$logE "unable to mount filesystem for $SD_EXT_DIRECTORY!"
no_sdext=1
fi
else
$logE "e2fsck returned error $e2fsk_exitcode"
$logE "unable to repair ext partition...not mounting"
no_sdext=1
fi
else
$logI "linux partition not found on sdcard"
no_sdext=1
fi
aNu_d2sd_restore $no_sdext
$BB sync
exit

there is typo in function file line 27 column 56, preventing it from creating system dalvik-cache.
the download file has been updated, please grab the new one.
