Install in this order from CWM recovery
1.update_OT908sfa_signed.zip
2.dtapps2sd-2.7.5.3-beta04-signed.zip
next reboot
BUT DO NOT do anything! firstly
1. go menu/apps/ and open busybox- in fact there is already in /system/xbin/ a version but this program will update to the latest ver of busybox- about 200 unix tools to add to your phone the power of a PC-toghether with etc/init.d feature added
so Install Busybox- will ask for root permision..
2.go to menu/apps/ and open Terminal Emulator then enter ‘su’
and then ‘a2sd cachepart’… phone will reboot
3.open root explorer and delete from /data/app the busybox apk because this resides now in /system/xbin – see there
4. this is to get ~4-5 MB free space more
