A2SD = Apps to SD. It allows you to save your apps onto your SD card allowing you to free up space on the phone. The SD car needs to be partitioned in order for it to work. Read the thread posted in the link above for further information.
After installing Fresh 2.0d, and formatting your SD card properly (use the search function and search apps2sd for the numerous threads)
I would STRONGLY recommend installing darktremor's apps2sd 2.5.
It appears to work much better.
Hi,
I have lot of data and backups on my sdcard on my N1.
I have never tried doing a wipe of sd:ext.
Can anybody tell me if it is safe to wipe sd:ext using Amon_RA recovery.
thanks

Only if you don't use it? What kind of question is this? If you have your apps there, ie: 'old apps2sd', clearly they would all be gone and you'd have to reinstall them.
If you're NOT using an Linux partition on your microSD card like EXT1/2/3/4, then nothing will happen, nothing will be erased.

How do I check if I have anything installed on my ext partition ? Its been a long time and I am not sure what Apps2SD am I using. I am using eVil's NxDesire rom 1.05.

Easy way is look at the contents... Console on the phone, like connectbot.
i was about to flash a rom, i did of course a proper wipe, and wen the recovery was finding the rom ready to flash it, it said "cant find sdcard/ROM name (bad) installation aborted. A quick formatting of the sd card did the trick, but i was wondering what that meant. i do use data2ext4, so maybe that? i have a class 10 kingston, so its a great card. so i was wondering if anyone knew what that mighta meant
thanks in advance!
whenever u format sdexit it undoes any mods u have done such as firates and data2text if im not mistaken
right right, but what would that matter with finding a zip in my sd card, being that ext4 isnt like related (for the lack of a better word) to the root of your sd card
Was 'wipe SD card' part of your 'proper wipe'?

Yes, like bierce said, since you are using data2ext, when you wipe sd-ext it kills that afaik. You probably need to start from scratch.
Yup if your using data2ext any ext never format sd. Your nands might not restore and it will more than likely result in a boot loop

Hello all,
I have upgraded my ace to Gingerbird 2.3.6
I have rooted it successfully.
Now my big question is how to move/install apps to my SD rather then my phone memory..
I know this question is very frequent over here.. but am very noob here.. am not sure of which ROM am using..
So please let me know some ways to move it ? anyting can be done with the emulator?
App2sd app in market
from XDA app
Press THANKS if I helped
Just follow this tutorial my friend.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1476121
whether apps2sd and link2sd, which one is da best?? i`m in stock rom and using cf-root b84.. what is the difference between them?
there is 2 thinks of moving app to sd. moving app to fat32 sd format which is simpler, and move app to ext sd format (as internal memory extention).
for moving app to fat32 sd card format is easy. use app2sd or link2sd. But some widget will not work. and not all app can be moved, only app that support app2sd.
for moving app to ext sd card format, you will need to make ext partition on the sd card. please google or search in the forum, how to make ext partition, many ways....
then after ext partition exist, you can use a2sd darktremor script + a2sdGUI, or S2E available in market.
note: S2E work simpler but only for CM rom.

AFAIK, S2E works only with CM based ROM. This guy is on stock.
Yes, I am still in stock ROM.. confused of which custom ROM to use.. I am waiting for a stable release of CyanogenMod..
Very new to flashing of ROMs
App2Sd moves the apps only which supports them.. not all..
I am gonna follow saruboy's tuturial for moving..
And I have another question for you people..
I have installed CWM, but now what does
- Wipe data/factory reset
- Wipe cache partition
- Wipe dalvik cache
mean ? how we do it? sorry for the noob question.. but am very new
I would be very thankful to get a reply on this

I hope you know that your volume buttons are for moving up/down in CWM Recovery mode, Power Button to go back in previous menu and HOME button to apply the selection.
So,
Moving --> Volume Button
Select --> HOME
Go in previous menu --> Power button.
Now, Factory Reset means, it resets the current Installed ROM to its factory defaults. Meaning, It will erase all apps and your phone will be restored at the state like when you have bought the phone (for stock ROM) or you have just freshly installed a new custom ROM.
Wipe Cache Partition, clears the cache memory of ROM.
Now, dalvik files are the one which are made on application first run. For the default apps which comes with ROM by default, those app's dalvik cache will be generated on the First Boot.. This is the reason, why first boot after every custom ROM installation is slow. This dalvik-cache are generally have .dex or .deodex extension. Each app have it's own separated dalvik file. Now, by wiping this, means removing dalvik cache from OLD ROM before flashing a new one.
Anything else?
A big thanks to you Rushyang
Have hit the thanks for you
super job
thanks a ton a lot in handy

Download LINK2SD from market,partition your SD card for EXT2 partition(There's a really old tutorial by ingbrzy in Ace section) .And you are done.Of course there are many ways to move apps to SD but i feel this one is the most convenient, however its your choice.
Sent from my fingers to your face,take it or leave it.
okey i understood , LINK2SD is usefull for me.

So, I want to stay on stock ROM, I will root my phone and put actual CWM5 recovery.
What should I do to put apps2sd and increase phone memory? (I can make ext2 partition on cwm recovery SD partitioning)
How can I move dalvik cache on new ext2 partition on my SD card?
Could someone explain to me exactly what to do?
I want to stay on stock ROM but also to have benefits of many apps on my phone.
Thanks!

Use link2sd if you're on stock rooted rom.
-backup your sd to your pc, cuz partitioning will format your sd card, wiping everything on it.
-partition. Using cwm from your phone or minitool partition wizard on your pc.
-install link2sd, create mount script to fat32, or ext2 (whatever works). Then reboot (keep trying other formats if one doesn't work)
-start linking apps. This will move them to sdext partition.
Good luck.
Im interested to know exactly what to do on the phone after making a fat32 partition. What steps and/or procedure? Im not an expert and I dont want to brick a phone or someting like that. But really need more space for apps!
Thanks!

I recommend you an ext partition and not Fat32 partition on your SD card ... I've a SD card of 16gb class 2, I partitioned my SD card with CWM Recovery and assigned to a partition of 2Gb app with swap 64Mb, for background app ... Now I have in my SGA 115 apps

I keep getting this error trying to install apps from the play store. My phone is rooted, the SD card is properly partitioned, and I can successfully link apps to it via Link2SD. The problem is that my phone seems to be very picky about what I can and cannot install. Some programs will install with no fuss, while others will give me the "Error: Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card" error. It's extremely irritating.
Please do not suggest unmounting/remounting the SD card. I've tried this. It DOES NOT WORK.

Is your phone rooted with a custom recovery and all?
Yes. I rooted it, have TWRP, and have write-protection off (it was messing with my SD partitions).

At this point, anything. I can link stuff to my second partition, but I can't move anything to the space I set aside on my SD card. Any game, any app, is poison to my SD card.

When you partitioned your sd card did you make it ext2, ext3, or ext4 and set it to primary?

There's not much I can do since I can't actually see your phone... I know I had mine set to ext4 and primary but be sure you're using a good partitioning tool..
I don't know if FolderMount would do what you want but you can always try.
Do you happen to have the stock kernel on your phone? Because if you do it's write protection enabled and you can't use that from my experience. You need to install a kernel with write protection removed.
I installed a custom Kernel, write protection's gone. Think wiping the whole thing would help? Or installing a Custom ROM?

A custom rom could definitely help! Just make sure you make a backup of your current system and then try another rom but I can't exactly say any rom that's better than another one because I'm using a personal built rom but all the roms are pretty good and each has their own problems so be sure to read about the rom you choose closely!
