It ate mine too, which is why I put 2.2.0 back up, 2.2.0 with the settings on the OP works flawlessly everytime for me on Kraven's updates :-)

Sorry trying to copy

**ShadowEO** · 05-24-2012, 10:56 AM

As of version 4.4.0, My packages are no longer needed. The Author removed all binaries to fix compatibility issues with ARM6 devices.

Please download from from now on. (Unless you have problems with 4.4.0)

Changelog for 4.4.0:

4.4.0
-----
* Simplified the way the partitions are found to avoid the need for special busybox versions.
* Added automatic control for CMDalvik to avoid activating it when 'getprop dalvik.vm.dexopt-data-only' is set or to force activate it when we mount a tmp cache partition.
* Added system property control for ROM devs that makes it possible to manipulate the script from build.prop.
* Added more sd-ext scripts to the auto deletion list used when flashing the script.
* Fixed wifi issues on ICS ROMs when enabling r-mount after full wipe.
* Fixed boot hanging issues with certain ROMs.
* Fixed problems with chmod and chown.
* Removed all binaries to avoid problems with Arm v6 devices.

Note:
Do to the more simplified way of locating the partitions, the rules has become more strict. The partition layout must be exact which means Fat32 as the first partition, sd-ext as the second and SWAP as the third.

i have 2.2.0 on cm7, should i just flash this right over? do i just follow the same instructions as 2.2.0? meaning pick only data/apps/dalvik and leave file system to autodetect? changelog note says i must have a swap as 3rd partition? just want to clarify.. should i even bother re flashing this newer version?

You do not need a swap, but if you have one out must be the third partition. You don't have to flash it, but it's supported better from the author. I haven't tried the new version myself. I assume the same instructions CAN apply.

Is a dirty flash just not possible with this script? I've tried twice to simply flash /cache and Dalvik, then install a new ROM; each time, I "lost" my data (assuming it's still on the /sd-ext partition). What is the magic trick that I'm missing?

**Buddlespit** · 05-29-2012, 06:19 PM

dirty flash rom and/or kernel, reboot into rom, reboot again into recovery and flash the mod. It's worked once or twice for me. Otherwise, it all just crashes and I have to clean flash everything.

edit: you can also just restore the data partition via recovery too...

I did both for good measure just now and things seem to work. I was pretty sure I did the same thing the first time around, but I obviously didn't because things were completely borked. Thanks for the tip.

**Buddlespit** · 05-29-2012, 06:30 PM

Ha! It worked! Suprised the hell out of me!

**ShadowEO** · 06-03-2012, 09:52 AM

I really don't know, I dirty flash everytime with 2.2.0 and everything works great. Sorry I haven't been paying attention lately guys lol.

Did not work for me. S2E from the Play Store works on the CM9 ROM.

Sorry, I do normally continue to provide support, I just missed the thread. Have been having a horrible month. Anyway.. What happens when you guys try to apply it and do you have your SD Card already partitioned with a EXT partition? I'm using 4.5.0 on CM9 and it works great.

Why are so many hell bent on killing off threads in this forum now?

Yes, sd card has ext3 partition, used with a number of apps with CM7.

I tried about alpha 9, and it just hung during the boot animation, never got past it. I tried twice, once with the install there, once with a clean install of the ROM and gapps. I gave up and just ran few apps.

I just installed S2E on alpha 13 since I wanted to add more apps and run it steady.

Hope your week picks up or smooths out.

**Buddlespit** · 06-14-2012, 07:39 PM

I got 4.5.0 to boot and run on cm9-CAI. I also wipe cache/dalvik before I flashed.

**ShadowEO** · 06-15-2012, 07:48 AM

great, next time I flash I'll update the setup instructions for the nee version.

ShadowEO, if we're using your previous 4.4.0 or 2.2.0 version, are there any special steps to switch over to the 4.5.0 XDA version? Do we need to start completely over or can we save the apps already on the sd-ext partition? Thanks.

No, 4.4.0 was the XDA version. 2.2.0 was my last actual modification. I mirrored the rest here for easy access

It is completely upgradable as well. Ice had the same sdext since 2.2.0 and I'm using 4.5.0

OK, sorry, I just realized I'm using data2ext-V4-modified for Reborn and CM7 put up by the_maplebar which only implements part of the capabilities of this. If you're familiar with that one, any thoughts re switching over? I will experiment since I can always nandroid back.
