when i had jf 1.5 and i used the app2sd it gave mme like 200 or so internal mem, now i got the hayurko 6 and redid the app to sd and now it only gave me 66internal.

Its not possible you had 200mb of internal memory, 74MB is like that max. even with the new haykuro spl you would get about 88mb.

Not true if you used the new A2sd then it would show a lot more. Mine currently shows about 980Mb of free space so that could be were he is confused.
it's because your using the new improved apps on SD which actually merges internal and SD EXT2

hello everyone
just got my 8g class6 card partitioned to ext2
running cm3.6.5 and it shows my card being partitioned.
now my question is, what else do i need to do in order for my apps to run from the sd card?? I'm very new to all of this and need some help.
i thought cm's build would automatically do this but i've downloaded apps from the market and they take up my available memory up so i'm missing something. hehe.
do i need a certain app to do this or commands of some sort?
I've tried searching the site but can't find simple to understand instructions.
Thanks again in advance for any help.

Nope, Cyan should automatically be doing it for you. Try rebooting the phone. If they are doing something, it should be in small amounts. How many apps/how much room remaining on the internal memory?
cool, thanks for the reply.
wierd thing is that when I had flashed cm's rom i had 73 MB on internal
I then installed the hero theme and that changed it to 69 MB.
reflashed the rom again to take off the theme and MB still on 69.
I just installed like 15apps and they are indeed on my 2nd partition! w00t
It's the data. Data doesn't reside on the SD. So if you browse the internet or market, you will notice you're internal mem go down. But you can fix that by just deleting the caches
This is probably a dumb question. Do I need to do anything different to enable it to utilize the sd card to run apps off of it or is it built in? I read that cyanogen's rom was built in like that. I keep downloading apps and I don't want to run out of memory on the phone. Do I need to do anything to also use the sd card as ram?
I am using SuperD and jus partation your SD card and should all go well
Yeah it is working fine.

I was just wondering if I need to do something different or is it automatically using the sd card as ram and runing apps off of it.

What do you mean by "something different" Different from what? In order for CM to automatically do apps2SD you need to have an EXT partition as your second partition. This can be an EXT2, EXT3 or EXT4 type partition and can be easily created by using the latest Amon_Ra Recovery Image (available here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566669).
Nothing else is needed. I see most signatures showing 512MB of EXT partition. I use the same and it has been more than enough for me.
Also, it is recommended that you use a class 6 SD card because the class 2 that came with the phone may not be fast enough and may cause some lag.
Thanks QMAN.

I think you answered my question perfectly. When I put the Dwang rom on and updated to Amon Ra Recovery Image I followed instructions that had me partition the sd card and put ext2 or ext3 type partition. If I buy a class 6 SD card I imagine I can just partition it and put it in.
So to be clear, does then enable the apps to run off the sd card or to install onto the sd card and run off the card also? I mean is it using the sd card as some sort of ram or is it just using it as more of a hard drive? I'm going to guess it is just as a hard drive. I didn't designate anywhere to tell the phone to use the sd card as the installation place for apps. That's why I am kinda wondering.
Thanks

It will both install on and run from sdcard. you don't have to enable anything.
dwang's rom does it automatically as long as you have the ext partition. His however does not support ext4.
Ok great.

Is there a way to see how full the partitioned part of the sd card is getting? When I use settings I can see the fat 32 part I believe, and the internal phone memory. I have Astro, but I don't see an option to view the entire sd card's usage.

In rec mode goto console type...
parted dev/block/mmcblk0
print
this will tell you how much space is used by each partition
Is that what you want to know?

That is exactly what I wanted to know. If I keep installing apps till it runs out of memory I'm guessing I won't know till it says it can't install anymore at some point.
Hey Djn I can't see the partitions with Dwang or do I need to specify something. I only see total space 449mb(i'm guessing that is the fat 32), available space 334mb. There is the internal phone storage section also.
this is what I see
number start end size type file system
1 512 472 472 primary fat 32
2 472 984 512 primary ext2
3 984 1016 31.8 primary linux-swap(v1)
So does it mean I've only used 40mb from fat32 section, but I believe I've used more than that? The ext2 part ended with more than it started, so does that mean when I partitioned it, the memory was increased? From number 3 it looks like 32mb was taken right off the top for ram?

Crap!, Ace is right, you can only see sd and internal with dwang, sorry about that. I haven't used dwang in quite some time.
P.S. Sorry Ace, My bad

Can you tell me what that info is telling me? It is a couple posts up. I understand the total sd card, -32 for swap yada yada. Just not sure if when it says "end" if that means that is what I have available now.
1 512 472 472 primary fat 32
2 472 984 512 primary ext2
3 984 1016 31.8 primary linux-swap(v1)
Block Start End
Well the above tells you what its for, and amount of space for each partition from starting point to end. 1 app is less than 3MB excluding games so if you have 150 apps you still have a good deal of space left.
Thanks Ace

I don't put mp3s, so other than wanting a little faster load app speed with class 6 I am probably fine with my 1gb class 2 for now. I think most of the apps I have were less than 1mb. I imagine games are larger. If I happen to add mp3 and games will the phone warn me as I get close to filling up the sd card?

Music/vids/pics/docs will go onto the Fat32 partition...So your comp or phone will warn you that the FAt32 is full.
how can you tell if your ext partition is helping?
so i downloaded apps2sd and repartitioned, but nothing is faster, i see no clarification of speed from it at all....the only thing noticeable is that my 4 gig sd card is now 1.75 gigs......help?

You don't, apps2sd puts your apps on the sd and that is all. It doesn't help with the speed or anything else.

I think you can check sd storage via settings or type df in terminal to see if its being used and how much space is left.
But speed wont be faster or slower with apps2sd.
the ext partition is for using apps2sd, so it will make your fat32 partition for media and such smaller. swap partition is to make things speedier, or supposed to. check settings/sdcard & phone storage/sd card secondary. thats how i could tell by total and available space
so to have 2 1/2 gigs for apps is really a waste unless i want to have 500 apps on my phone......good to know, if i may ask, how do i get rid of that? and how do i get this "swap" partition?
thanks for your replies, theyre greatly appreciated

You must repartition your sd with recovery and choose a swap size...But all your files on your sd will be deleted from your card. And you must re-DL apps from market.I use 256MB Ext cause i install less than 30 apps.My fav app is gameboid/Snesoid so i mainly care if that works.

i used droid swap, but ive only got the stock mem card for now as my 8g **** out on me, and its a class 1 i have been told, which is why i was lagging so much with a2sd. but im pretty sure you can use scripts and such to turn swap on
When looking in "SD and phone memory" the total space is only 1,55 GB on the internal SD card. I thought it should be close to 8GB. Where is the other 6GB?

Are you sure your not looking at available space as apposed to internal sd card which is above it?

It happened to me too. Your SD card is likely busted.

Total memory = 1,55GB
Available memory is 1,54GB
Possible to format?, re-partition? or am I just screwed?
Did you use a lag fix at any time?

The internal 8gb is divided to "phone" and "internal SD" , your missing 6gb is the internal SD and the 1.5GB is the phone part.
1.84gb is reserved for apps, 127MB for personal info normally, ... 5.78GB for extra internal sd card junk(photo's) ..
1.36 for apps here, cos of the lagfix i performed =/
But no idea from where you read the memory information, which app?
And 8GB gives truly less then 7.8GB available, damn bit byte tricks, ..
I also have the same problem. My 8gb internal sdcard become 1.8gb after I rooted and flashing and made my Samsung P1000 tablet into Kitkat 4.4.2. Until now i don't know how to fix it. Maybe somebody here knows how to fix, or can give us the link for the apps for it.
I used to use i&f 4 rom, but I switched over to thefroyomod 2.9.3 BUT my 80+ apps werent detected so I went back, made list, and started painstakingly installing all apps BUT I ran outta space on my internal memory, even though I still have 160+ mb on my ext partition(verified using free space by krikun)
Please help
Before you ask, I have a 4gb class 2 card with 500mb ext partition
I am going to switch to my incredibly cheap 8gb class4 card with 1gb ext partition but dont want to know that I wont be able to install more than 70 apps
