how do i set it up i think thats why my phone wont ionstall aps saying not memory avail but i just wiped my phone
Well first you need to get yourself a apps to sd card build check hayjuros blog ffor one. Then i would recomend to get a card reader and can use a partioning program on the computer and put a est2 partion on then end of your memory card then run the bcommands in term and recovery console should be cool . There are tutorials in development forum search for it

so i repartitioned my sdcard with a 96mb linux-swap...ok no problem
but when i try to put the ROM in the root of the sdcard through my card reader windows xp wont let me...
all it does is ask if i want to format my card
my girls notebook and newer pc will let me...why cant i get mine to?
is there a fix for this?
ive had to dl the ROM to my original sdcard that came with my g1 and after it boots swap to my 2gb card
any help would be appreciated...thanks!
You could do this a few ways. You could download the ROM directly to the phone via the browser, then move the downloaded zip from "download" folder, to the root of your SD with any file browser app. Or, you could push via ADB. Also, make sure that you did infact format the card properly. Maybe you don't have a FAT32 partition.
i usually have reformatted my card every time i install a new ROM so i do have a fat32...
just got adb up and running on my pc so i may have to see about working with that
im more curious as to why my pc wont let me...but hey...whatever works! lol!
guess its time for some more research in the forums!
hi guys...
i have searched over and over how to make apps2sd work on dwang but there are some answers however no straight answer following. i am sorry if theres any other post in the forum that i may have missed.
so i have the amon-ra recovery...
i have partitioned my sd card (2gig)
32 linux swap
400 ext2 (already upgraded to ext3)
rest is fat32..
now when i goto sd card &phone storage.. i see sd card (following total space and etc..) and i see internal phone storage.
now when i download a app.....i see decrease on my internal memory. i even tried selecting move apps-cache to sd card from recovery mode.
i am not understanding wats going on. i need some help please!
once again sorry if theres already some post about this.
Its just cache from market its not relelated to apps2sd.It builds up over time.Do a search in market for cache and look for the cache mover, so it will be on your sd instead.

isnt A2SD automatic on dwangs? usually all you need is a second partition in order for it to work...
hey i thought it was automatic too but it doesnt seem like. how can i verify if the ext3 has some usage? and i downloaded the cache mover now it took up so much space on my sd card. even after that i downloaded a app and it still seem to affect my internal memory! please help. i had my sd card partitioned and emptied (formatted) even before installing the dwang rom.....
You know its being used because you would have like 20~ free internal mem
Ace42 what u mean...i didnt download alot of apps. when i flashed with a full wipe i had abt 81 mb rite now i have abt 68 after having installed abt 5 apps so it means maybe not working i am guessing... and even after moving cache i dun see any difference in internal storage...
is there anyone who can be of some assistance plz.....?
Try doing the flash process again but leave it at EXT2 instead of upgrading.
but when i do flash...shouldnt i have a second sd card displayed on my phone in setting? coz when i did cyanogen i had two sd card option. first one being the sd card. second one was unavailable until partitioned the drive. and i was able to see how much space is left after i download and install an app....on the second sd card option. however with dwang i dun have that
ok. i searched and i know that there a lot of places to find out how to do it, but I am a bit confused.
I somehow never got onto the apps2sd bandwagon cos i didnt know how to divide my SD card (32GB)..what's the ideal recommended proportions for ext3 and FAT32?
also, i'm on CM at the moment, and it has an option to select where to install apps to and also you can move apps to the SD card. is this the same as apps2sd or is it less efficient?
all this time wht i have been doin is manually selecting where to install the apps through the ROM options, and my SD card is FAT32.
can anyone help me?
i'm also thinkin about upgrading to gingerbread if and when it comes.. so would the ext3 partition work with it?
Current there are 2 ways to implement App2SD, one is Froyo version, which puts applications on SD card Fat32 partition, another one is Ext version, which requires an ext partition on your SD card to store applications.
If you're using official CM release, I think it has no support to App2Ext by default.
I noticed that the option you mentioned does not always work, I put it on "Internal" but sometimes new applications still are installed to SD card. The option is not necessary to enable App2SD feature. You can always goto application management and manually move applications between internel memory and SD card.
i actually find it happening the other way for me..when i specify to install on the SD card, it still installs on the internal...and im constantly running out of space..and its hard to decide what apps to move to the SD card, and some come up with alerts of how system updates wont happen and therefore it cant move it to the SD card..
the way I do it is, tick "Allow moving any application"
then goto application management, sort by size
look from top of list, move big size, not frequently used, non auto-boot, non-widget applications to SD card.
yeah..i think i also should do that...flashing CM nightly 242 atm...i jus hope gingerbread comes out soon..tho im sure i will end up using it fr a bit and then goin back to CM until they put out a gingerbread based ROM
I have a HTC Hero running Nfinites .7 ROM with a 8Gig class 2 SD Card.
I just bought a 16gig class 6 card and would like to use it in the phone. This is the first time I have used A2SD, I understand how to format the new SD card to make it work but am curious about transfer from the old card to the new one for the Apps. Is there an easy way to do that?
I know for the music and other stuff in the normal part of the SD card will transfer just with my windows desktop but I know you can't transfer the linux stuff on a windows PC.
Is the easiest thing to do just to redownload all the apps with App Brain?
i know they have an option in recovery to move apps stored in ext partition but dont really know how to restore myself i get error while doig nandroid+ext backup during the ext part those are the only two options there I know there is a command using adb to backup and restore I'll look them up for you and repost here later on when I get home hope this helps
i am using the cyanogen mod and have been installing apps to my sd card thru "managing applications". However, i found out that not all of the data is being transferred and some are still left on the internal phone storage. As u guys alr noe, the milestone has very little phone storage, so my phone storage are still quite full at times.
I've seen threads regarding partitioning the sd card so to install the apps to it. Does this really work? I mean is it better than the one mentioned above?
Can someone help with this? I'm new to partitioning so can anyone help by giving step by step instructions, or simply just justify whether this whole partitioning thing works.
Thx in advance
You may give Titanium Backup a try - it can force-move apps from internal memory to SD and vice versa. Long-tap onto the app-> move to sd (or similar, got a german one )
//EDIT: partitioning the sd card is called "app2sd" - there're scripts for this, but with memhack etc. I have enough memory for the moment, so I don't use it
