Ok I had TheDudesCupcake and I had apps2sd and I used the app to do so but today I switched to Cyanogen 3.6.8.1 and when I checked phone storage it says 74 mb what do I do to get apps back on my sd? when I did the switch and I wipe the apps are still here just not on my sd.

apps2sd should be automatic. Not really understanding what your asking. Sounds like if you have 74 mb free then you have apps2sd.
nvm i just figured out that on theDudes it says the space left under internal memory on this build it says it on sd secondary

And I have followed the creating of partition at the cyan wiki page for the Apps2SD but when I install programs from the market, my phone internal storage still decrease.. What's going on?

for future reference please search before posting as this has been answered many times
your apps are stored on the sdcard however the data is still stored in internal memory
Erm okay, my bad. But it will still take out phone storage memory too? In that case, the phone memory storage will still decrease when more applications are installed in?

no prob man ... yea it should take a lil bit of memory for the more apps you have ... but very very insignificant ... i have 100s of apps installed and only like 20mb being used up lol
I see. Okay, that's great! Anyway, can I check with you, since applications are installed in SD, what data are actually installed in the phone memory, what are these datas? If I want to uninstall an application, what's the proper way of doing it since there is these data at the phone memory too?
anyone????
if i am not mistaken, the data still stored are mostly the cache, the setting for each programs (preferences etc).. just remove it normally using the app manager or from the downloads page on the market.
Hi there, when you are saying remove normally is through the 'Manage Applications' tab right?
I noticed after installing several apps from the Marketplace that I am using up 116MB out of 128MB of space. I thought the apps installed to the memory card? Why would so much internal memory be taken up? Is there a way to move them over? It's not cache taking up the space since I tried clearing that and it was less than 1MB total. If it's not any of this, what could be taking up all the space?

Apps2SD is only available on mssmison's 2.1 EClair build, if your not running that then you don't have it. If you are, did you enable it?

Where did you see this? I'd guess you're looking at the system partition. Apps go to /data.
I'm running RLS4 with the xxAndroidxx theme which has memory widgets. I guess I'll load up mssmisons's version
I just installed the latest version of the fresh Rom. The page for the rom says it will automagically use apps2sd If The card is formatted properly. I use the recovery rom (1.52) to format the card, with a 32mb swap and 512mb ext. But, iapps2sd doesn't seem to be working. I have rbooted, and I have also used the recovery Rom to " move apps and dalv to SD", but the apps are still taking up the phones internal memory.
Is there something I'm missing to activate apps2sd, or move the apps over?
Thanks

I used the link, and got the response that it working. So why then are the apps still taking up the phone memory? Is this the usual response? What happens when it fills up? Is there anything left for me to do?

Everytime you install or run things, internall memeory is still used for data and other items that are not the APK file. What is the memory amount you show as free? A2SD only moves APK's to the SD. Additionally you can move the dalvik-cache there as well, but internal memory still gets used by app data, widget data, etc.. You might have a bunch of widgets storing lots of data.

Sorry to bring up an old thread...
I gotta say that I think there is something wrong with the version of Apps2SD on the Fresh ROM - or something isn't configured correctly.
I get the same issue (as do many others from the digging I have done) - and I KNOW that the programs I have installed aren't using up THAT much memory.
When I switch to any other ROM using A2SD - with all the same programs installed and no changes in the partitioning - I magically have 140 MB free of internal memory.
Any thoughts?

It works fine for me. Just follow the instructions on link provided above by flipz
Don't forget to upgrade ext2 to ext3

today i went to install google-earth.apk via apps installer. i got a message saying "out of space" "earth could not be installed. free up some space and try again" this is odd being i have a 2gb app2sd partion and running cm6.i have "allow moving of applications to external storage" checked and" install location" set to automatic. am i missing something? TY

That app is not compatible. You need a much faster cpu and ram for it to work.
Why that particular error? Who knows? Ask Google. But it will not work on your G1 so just give it up.
It depends on the internal storage indicator, I have 1gb of apps2sd but if your internal storage is like 20mb it doesn't matter wether you have 2 or 20gb it has to do with the internal storage because your g1 doesn't care much for apps2sd indicator.
If I install too many apps and my apps2sd partition goes from 1gb to 527mb and my internal storage goes from 87.43mb to 32.45mb and I then try to install iron sight wich is like 20mb you would think it works but it will say no room available so install the big boy apps first and small penis apps second.

Hey guys, I tried searching to see if this was possible a repeated question but didn't find anything so I am sorry if it has already been covered and I missed it.
Anyways, a few days ago I put cyanogen froyo on my hero but didn't like it so I reverted back to my nandroid backup. Then I tried 2 different 2.1 roms that allowed LWPs, ZenHero and Regaw 2.1. I ended up reverting back to my original nandroid backup but now my internal memory only shows 34MB free, which was previously 16 until I ran cachecleaner. I'm somewhat of a noob to android and have been doing a lot of reading on here before I make any change to my phone. But the 34mb seems abnormally low. Is there any possibility that some of the previous ROMs have left data on my phone which is causing this? If so how can I go about completely wiping all of them from my system?
Again, sorry if this has been covered. I tried my best to see if it has been asked before, and thanks for any advice you may have.
I've said it before but I am really impressed with the developers here and the friendliness and helpfulness of the community here.
Which ROM?
How many apps you installed?
Are you using A2SD?
If you not using A2SD which move the App to SD card then you will run low on space on /data.
I'm hoping you talking about Internal Phone storage memory.

1. Currently I am back on the nandroid backup of the original 2.1. I have put on cyanogen 2.2, ZenHero, and RegawMod on it previously. I used cyanogen twice so I was worried that maybe when I installed the second time that it installed again in a separate location taking up twice the space. If that makes sense.
2. I don't know the exact number but I wouldn't say it is anything large. Maybe in the 10-15 range. I went through the application manager and sorted by size, most of them were under 1mb with a few noteable exceptions (google maps, facebook, and soem other games around the 3mb range). I did notice that my contacts storage was 20+mb, probably because it synced with my facebook and downloaded everyones picture...not just my contacts. After clearing the cache for contacts storage it went down to 340kb. I lost the facebook sync, but it was beginning to annoy me anyway.
3. Not atm, however I should probably get on this since I just got a 4 gb class 6 sdhc. I haven't messed with the partitions yet though, baby steps.
Yes, I am talking about the internal storage. I have 3+gb free on my card.
It seems like Dalvik cache and /data/data must be using up the space.
I used to have 25 mb internal storage before I moved the apps to SD. I had space problem like this long time ago with 2.0 and 2.1. After I got mine 8 GB class 6 card two moths ago, I moved my apps to SD and my internal memory is around 60 MB since than. I haven't moved my dalvik-cache to SD.
If your using 2.1 deodexed version of the ROM, I'm guessing it normal for this ROM as it use more internal space for dalvik-cache.
Other guru might cheap in to correct my understand on deodexed version of the rom.

Thanks so much, I was concerned that I was somehow dwindling my memory down and fearful that another rom would brick my phone because of a lack of space. This question wasn't based on a complaint with the phone or rom, more of a request to hear something along the lines of "it's normal" to ease my mind.
Damn...I have CM6 Nightly 8-25 and I have 125 MB free of internal storage..Only have 10 apps installed. CM6 is the ****
