    Default how to move your apps to sd (haykuro builds)


    1.THIS IS FOR PEOPLE WHO ALREADY HAD APPS TO SD BEFORE UPDATING TO A HAYKURO BUILD

    2.THIS IS MENT TO BE RUN FROM YOUR COMPUTER! NOT FROM TERMINAL EMULATOR

    3.YOU NEED TO HAVE FAT32/EXT2 PARTITION

    you need to have the android sdk (technically you dont have to but the files that u need are in the sdk)
    in sdk go into tools then find these files:

    AdbWinApi.dll
    adb

    make a new folder in your C: drive and name it "android" and put those files in the folder

    now plug in your phone (dont mount it) and bring up COMMAND PROMPT in your computer
    type this in:

    cd c:\android
    adb remount (you should get a prompt that says remount succeeded)
    adb shell (a # or $ should appear)

    now the script starts
    type:

    busybox df -h (if you do not see /system/sd then dont move on)

    THESE ARE THE SCRIPTS FOR MOVING THE APPS AND STUFF

    (APPS TO SD)

    busybox cp -a /data/app /system/sd
    busybox rm -r /data/app
    busybox ln -s /system/sd/app /data/app

    (APPS-PRIVATE TO SD)

    busybox cp -a /data/app-private /system/sd
    busybox rm -r /data/app-private
    busybox ln -s /system/sd/app-private /data/app-private

    you can type in "adb shell reboot"after this if you do not want to move the dalvik-cache

    (DALVIK-CACHE **OPTIONAL**)

    busybox cp -a /data/dalvik-cache /system/sd/dalvik-cache
    busybox rm -r /data/dalvik-cache
    busybox ln -s /system/sd/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache
    adb shell reboot


    your phone should automatically reboot and your done
    when it reboots you should see all your old apps magically reapear

    Not trying to take credit - BUT THIS IS FOR THE FOLKS THAT CANT DO IT THRU ADB...

    Download busybox from the original post and put it on the sd card.
    Download Terminal Emulator from the market.
    Open terminal emulator and type in:
    su
    mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
    dd if=/sdcard/busybox of=/system/xbin/busybox
    chmod 4755 /system/xbin/busybox
    busybox cp -a /data/app/com.android.term.apk /data/app-private
    busybox cp -a /data/app/com.android.term.apk /system/sd/app
    busybox cp -a /data/app /system/sd/app
    rm -r /data/app
    Restart your phone manually.
    Open terminal emulator again.
    rm -r /data/app
    ln -s /system/sd/app /data/app
    rm -r /data/app-private/com.android.term.apk
    Restart your phone manually once more/
    Open terminal emulator one last time
    busybox cp -a /data/app-private /system/sd/app-private
    rm -r /data/app-private
    ln -s /system/sd/app-private /data/app-private
    Restart your phone one last time.

    then if u wanna move dalvik cache do this

    busybox cp -a /data/dalvik-cache /system/sd/dalvik-cache
    rm -r /data/dalvik-cache
    ln -s /system/sd/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache
    reboot

    Ps: if u dont have busybox do this : go to this site look for the busybox.zip download and extract it to your sdcard. then open terminal emu and type this :
    $ dd if=/sdcard/busybox of=/system/xbin/busybox
    $ chmod 4755 /system/xbin/busybox

    after u isnTALL busybox reboot and then u can do the apps on sd one.
    HOPE THIS HELPS LET ME KNOW IF IT DOES

    ok go into device manager on your computer (you can just click start then search for it) when your in the device manager look for your g1 phone
    mine is under DISK DRIVE>
    but just look around for it and when u find it right click it then click UPDATE DRIVER and choose browse my computer
    now u need to your sdk folder>usb drivers>x86 (x86 being the driver ur gonna use)


    also u might want to try rebooting your phone it happens to me sometimes that it doenst read the phone but i reboot and it works

    OH AND MAKE SURE USB DEBBUGING IS SET ON YOUR PHONE

    is the busybox file supposed to go somewhere specific on my sdcard? cause all I did was drag and dropped it in


    ok I checked my driver and it is up to date with x86....I restarted my phone over again and while the first line of script worked, after the 2nd was typed I was told that my device can't be found
