This will help you use your darktremor a2sd using terminal emulator app. This is really useful if you really don't know what to do once you have your galaxy y set-up with a2sd script.
You will need to have a rooted phone of course. And the terminal emulator app (download on apps page).
Once you run terminal emulator, you will have a screen shown like the one above or a different screen if you're using the PRO version. All the commands are still the same.
Custom roms will have a2sd installed on default but if your using custom rom you will need to download the a2sd script.
you need to also flash either one of these kernels : credits goes to them for this kernel's
- terma kernel ( see recovery kernels and flash using odin)
- repencis kernel ( download here flashable using stock cwm )
- merruk's kernel 2.0 ( download here flash using odin ) (has bugs on cwm)
once you have those, flash this a2sd.zip if your on:
- stock rom
- custom rom that doesn't have a2sd installed on default
(DOWNLOAD HERE) - do data and cache wipe before and after flashing. (data on phone will be lost but not on sd)
- make sure your sd card has 2nd partition on it (see tweaks tab).
ON TERMINAL EMULATOR: you need to type:
SU
this gives terminal emulator root access.
