Magpie A2SDEXT

What is it?
Magpie is basically a Kang of the a2sd feature in CM5, the base of this is mostly the work of Chris Soyars @ChrisSoyars
@NameLessJedi has also been a key player in getting the more advanced features working in the CM6 builds
now here it is in CM7

I'll try to expand on the above at a later date

Features

Current Limitations

* there is a workaround for moving paid apps
in terminal:

su

@Firer4t
or the new fangled G+
+Firerat Meh, suspended search for me
but you may have to put up with drunken rants x_*

I've not been able to test all of these as I only have a G1
they _should_ work But I can't guarantee it
I can't even say these files won't cause a brick, soft or hard

so if you're brave, stupid or both here are the zips :D

FixMissingInstallLoc.sh221 bytes2011-03-28 13:33:05

No Preferred install location?

You set preferred install location in Settings -> Applications
if preferred install location option is not available run the FixMissingInstallLoc.sh script with :

sh /sdcard/FixMissingInstallLoc.sh

rename the file if you like ;)
Oh, it will popup asking for root if you are not already

for anyone interested the script is

#!/system/bin/sh
if [ `busybox id -u` != "0" ];
then
        su -c "sh $0"
        exit
fi
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db 'update system set value="1" where name="set_install_location";'

Alternatives

Magpie is featured in a few ROMs

The above are all squarely targeted at the G1/MT3G, and are well worth looking at.
