A2SD Issues

**Code3VW** · 05-04-2009, 02:32 PM

I am following this how-to from JF's blog:

http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.ph...uro_Apps_to_SD

I have formatted the SD card using ubuntu, and that's about as far as I've gotten...nothing else seems to work...

I am running JF 1.5 on my G1, btw...

I placed the busybox file onto the root of my sd card.
I opened cmd.exe and typed "adb remount" and received "remount succeeded"
I typed "adb shell" and received "#"
I typed "dd if=/sdcard/busybox of=/system/xbin/busybox" and received "can't open '/system/xbin/busybox': Read-only file system"

What is this?? I have root access...as far as I can tell...and when I type "adb root" I get "adbd is already running as root"

What is the deal???

that seemed to work! I wasn't able to complete step 3, but all of the apps are on the sd card!

In the future when I download apps will they be saved to the sd card, or do I need to run Appstosd every time I dl an app?

No. Once the symlinks are set up, every app that you install goes to the SD card.

also if you factory reset your G1 or do a wipe in recovery terminal. you will need to run the app again
