The next thing you will encounter is when you received "LOW MEMORY" notification while in the middle of downloading apps and Games. Because CM W100 comes only with 512 MB internal memory.
Yes, its really annoying and it will freak you out while trying to remove "loved apps" and favorite games just to accommodate space for the next download.
This is the right time to EXPAND your internal memory to 2GB. Yes 2 Gygabyte....internal memory
To be able to do this you have to perform the following procedure:
This is what they call it DATA2Ext.
You will be needing the following materials and apps to perform this procedure.
1. Root Explorer, ES file explorer, Solid Explorer or any file explorer with root access (you can download at the end of this post)
2. SD Card at least 4GB or better if you have 8Gb or higher
3. Rooted W100 of course
MINITOOL Partition Wizard (you can download at the end of this post)
PROCEDURE:
A. Make a partition on your SD card using MINITOOL Partition Wizard. First partition should be higher, this is the part where you phone use to read as your External Memory. It has to be on the following properties: FAT32, primary. The second partition should be 2GB, set it to primary and EXT2. Now apply all the changes and let the MINITOOL process your card into two partition, wait till it finished initializing.
B. Download data2ext file and extract with winrar or any other extracting tool like 7Zip or B1 archiver to your desktop (for you to easily find the files). Make a new folder to your FAT32 memory and name it "scriptz", of course without the " ".
C. Now, copy the extracted file to the "scriptz" folder and remove your SD card from the card reader. Insert it to your phone and turn it on.
B. On the Solid Explorer (file explorer), navigate to the SD card and copy the following files to the corresponding folders:
- Copy busybox_d2sd to /system/xbin
- Copy e2fck to system/bin
- Copy 01data2ext.sh to /sdcard/scriptz
- Copy install-recovery.sh to /system/etc (If prompted to overwrite, then yes
- Set intall-recovery.sh permission to rxw -rx -rx OR rwx r-x r-x
- Reboot phone
- Wait until booted to OS
- Confirm your internal storage. If hasn’t changed, wait for a couple of minutes. Then check again.
Isnt it great?

As you can see sa mga screenshot yung kanyang Internal naging 2GB total at yun kanyang exrternal naging 6GB total capacity.

OVERVIEW
This process of DATA2ext is not literally expanding your internal memory. Ito ay tinatawag na VIRTUAL EXPANSION. Ang DATA2Ext process ay isang pamamaraan para ang basahin ng processor ay ang bahagi ng SD card bilang internal memory. Sa ganong paraan maari kayong maglagay at magdownload ng mga paborito ninyong apps at games.
Mayroon ding dis-advantage ang pag-gamit ng DATA2Ext. Minsan kung ang inyong SD Card ay mahinang klase..bumibigay ang partition at nagreresulta sa pag "crash" ng system. Pag nakaranas kayo ng sunod sunod na "force close" at sunod sunod na kusang pag-reboot ng inyong device, maaring ito ay sanhi ng partition at ng SD. Yun iba ang akala nila ito ay bootloop, pero pag pinalitan ninyo ang inyong SD card ng walang partition, ang W100 ay babalik sa kanyang normal na boot dun sa point kung kelan ninyo ginawa ang DATA2Ext process.
Pag nangyari ang ganon, palitan ang SD ng mas matibay at magandang klase. Sa akign experienced ang 8GB ng CDR king, Sony at Trancend ay matatag sa mga ganitong partition. Mas maige kung ang gagamitin ay yun mga high speed 133X ang klase or kung wala naman pwede na ang class 4, yun nga lang kailangan ingatan lang ang paggamit.

Sir Sam,
ReplyDeleteI understand DATA2EXT is better but can you also make at TUT like this using LINK2SD. Thanks in advance
Best regards,
my_cye:-)
Yes I will post that..I think that woul be benedicial to the users in order to have a choice on how they will going to expand their internal memory . This will be a good option either. Thanks for the suggestion. I will do that as soon as I can.
ReplyDeleteSir,,
Deletecan u pls. post the TUT about the Link2sd option for expanding the internal memory??
kahit anung gwin ko ksi sa DATA2ext proccess,, di parin umi-expand yung internal memory ko...
pls po paki post yung TUT about yung LINK2sd process...
at tyaka,, pati narin po yung CWM para sa Cm W100,, kailangan ksi kung LINK2sd yung gagamitin na proseso sa pag increase ng internal memory...
Thanks nlang in advance....
God Bless...
sir Sam,
ReplyDeleteIt's me again, I tried partitioning my CDR-King 8gig Class 4 SD card (no using a memory card reader) using MiniTool Partition several times already
1st partition 6gig FAT32 / Primary
2nd partition 2gig Ext2 / Primary
Whenever I disconnect the usb connection my W100 say's "Damage SD card" and it'll prompt men to format the SD card. this consistently happen, please help what am I doing wrong.?
I know the CM Flare is out soon but I don't wanna let go of my W100.
my_cye
Yes, sometimes yan ang problem ng mga SD card, that is usually SD card error not the system and not the process. Hindi kaya ng nabili mong SD card yun partition, most likely pag ginamit mo yan ay hindi tumatagal bumibigay ang partition. I should suggest to buy a more robust SD card. Or the other way around..
Delete... pagkatapos mo gawin ang partition, just let the MINITOOL to process your partition. nakakalimutan kasi nun iba na i-check yun "apply" button sa menu ng Partition Wizard. Tingnan nyo po muna kung nagawa ninyo yun.
yup... na apply ko naman, actually nagawa ko na yung process before sa Galaxy Y ko (both via CWM at via Minitool). Maybe i'll try another SD Card.
DeleteI hope you will continue to post TUTs for W100 even if "gone snorkling" na yung W100 mo..
Thanks in advance..

ReplyDeleteSir Sam matanong ko lang po, is this applicable to other units besides W100 (esp Flare)? Kasi im planning to buy the CM Flare and as i am reading the specs of flare pareho silang 512 RAM, so gusto ko rin maexpand yung ram nya para astig..hehehe Thanks in advance
ReplyDeleteYun rooting magkaiba, pero yun internal memory pareho lang, pero 4gb na ang flare kaya hindi na kailangan ang ganitong expansion
DeleteOO nga naman pala, napakanonsense ng tanong ko. di nga naman pla RAM ang inexpand kundi and internal memory..hehehe salamat at pasensya na po..^^
Deletebkt po pagkinacopy ko fail ung lumalabas sa busybox_d2sa to sys/xbin?

ReplyDeleteMagkakasama po sila sa iisang folder
Deleteask q lng bakit nag loloop lng at sabi root has been granted user permission ganun lng wlng nagbago sa internal ko?
ReplyDeleteI think it has something to do with the procedure, as for me wala ako na experienced na ganyan.

Para maka-sure ka kung rooted nga yun phone mo, DL ka ng basic root checker sa google play, then run it, that will report to you if your device was successfully rooted
DeleteBkit po gnun n get qna superuser.. faild nmn update. Tpos s pooting nmn po ito nklgay

You need to restart your device.
Pno po.to m ayod? Knina p kz sq restart ska reboot.. gnun pdin po.
sometimes, it will take you so much restart before you can root your phone. ulitin lang po ang procedure, then make sure that you follow everything

kailangan mo i-root ulit ang phone mo, or hind pa rooted ang phone kaya hindi pa sya pwede i-expand ang internal memory using data2ext.
DeleteMeron ako gpost on how to root (POOT) ang iyong device "rooting your w100", try to proceed muna sa rooting before you can modify anything on your phone.

the tanggal ko ulit sd card sa phone at ipinasok ko ulit sa Card reader..
this time kinopya ko ulit yung scriptz from the desktop to sdcard..pero denelete ko po yung ibang extracted files ang itinira ko lang ay 01data2ext.sh
ikinabit ko po ulit sa phone yung sd card, power on then check ko sa settings ang internal ko storage po nya ay 1.7GB na..
Sir Sam at sa laht po ng blogger maraming salamat po..

Confirm your internal storage. If hasn’t changed, wait for a couple of minutes. Then check again.
