Am I missing something here? I have successfully formatted my card, I've been running JF 1.42, then JF 1.5, and right now I'm on Haykuro's Hero ROM... however in none of the ROMs did I manage to get the apps to install straight to SD... I have the card set up correctly (since Hero works), 1 partition as fat32, second as ext2 (using gparted)... I'm just not sure why it's not working... I'm installing apps with ASTRO... do I have to move them to SD card after I install them? app2sd application didn't work on my JF builds (well it worked but after I applied it, nothing installed at all, so I'm gonna count it as not working)...is it an ASTRO problem? starter 1GB card problem? something I'm doing wrong? I seem to be following everything 100% correctly but it still doesn't install to SD... thank you verymuch for your help!
On jf roms you have to install the marcus maximus files to get apps to sd working correctly.
Or you could install a pre-modified jf1.5 rom that are on these forums.
Did at anytime you get a warning of low space?
Just because your internal memory is going down doesn't mean the apps aren't on the sd.
If you got a warning of low space then there's a problem. If you can install more than 25+ apps without getting the low space warning you should be good.
Hope I helped even though I babbled lol
And also
This post doesn't belong in the ANDROID DEVELOPMENT thread!
Please post it in general or a mod please move this
Thank you
I do believe I ran out of space on one of the JF ROMs, I don't remember if it was on 1.42 or 1.5... I really wanna get this working on Hero... my memory is going down and I don't see the apps on the ext2 partition when I boot into linux on my laptop... I guess I'm gonna go app-crazy and install a bunch of applications and see if I run out of space again... also will pulling out a card on Hero work to see if where the apps keep getting installed? or will it just not boot?
Hello,
I have searched but have not found an answer. I am running Cyanogen 4.2.5 after upgrading from JF 1.5. I have followed the directions from Cyanogens website wiki for partitioning my sd. I have a class 6 8 gig card. It shows the partition according to print but it only seems to be getting somewhat smaller in size. Meanwhile the phone memory is getting considerably smaller after installing apps. I don't have a linux swap is that necessary for app2sd to work? Is there a way to see if apps2sd is working? I don't think it is. Has anyone elde had any problems or guidance?
What type of ext are you using?
No, a2sd is not dependant on swap.
Try to reparition using the recovery image from amon_ra, link in my sig.
Decrease in phone memory could be due to cache from other apps.
To check if a2sd is working check the available size of the 2nd parition.
I am just running ext2 currently as I have never been able to get it to work. The phone memory gets low everytime i install an app.
See the 3rd suggestion, and upgrade to ext3 while your at it.
will do thanks for the quick input
Apps2SD on cyanogen 4.2.13 with G1
Hi All,
I am new to the website, I recently updated my G1 with 4.2.13 and I used the SDpart.txt from dusty51 to partition my SDcard. I started downloading apps to my phone however my internal memory is still getting low. So it seems to me that the Apps2SD is not working.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
i have the exacted same problem but during the sdparted.txt in console it is able to make the 3 partitions but the says err: /dev/blocl/mmcblk0p2 not found.
What's going on?
Ok Guys, new to this site, hopefully y'all can help me out.
I recently rooted my G1, Installed the latest Cyanogen (4.7.2.1) and installed a theme ( Marks Theme). I dont have very many apps cause I didnt want to bog down the phone memory.....
I love the set up but it started running slower even after I started running the over clocker widget.
My phone is only showing 14.18 MB of free internal memory. I went through my applications installed and can only find around 25 MB being used from all installed apps ( including browser and messaging etc.)
I even tried to do a factory reset ( by going through the settings) and the factory reset is not working. It changed nothing.
Is there something that Im missing? I feel like I should have much more free memory.
I love the way my phone works and the set up, I just wish it had more free memory so that it would run faster.
Ive thought about doing the Apps2SD but I feel like I chould have much more memory on my phone even before doing something like that.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!
This is a question, and as such belongs in the Q&A section. You'll receive a better response to such things there.
The internal memory you're referring to is your /system partition.
It is where the entire OS is stored, basically. Which takes up, in your case, a whopping 55 MB (out of 70 MB).
If you //really// want more room, follow the Apps-2-SD tutorials out there. You'll get /plenty/ of space.
You could always upgrade to the new amon ra and then let it partition the sd card for you.Then you can have all that free phone storage for whatever it is.Bext time just try to restrict yourself from posting in wrong section
-Best regards

Thank you for the quick response. Is there a way to move this thread?
Also is there a better ROM that will take up less memory? I like this version but obviously it is wayy to large.
Anyone else running cyanogen 4.7.2.1 having this issue?
Most people using the Cyanogen ROM also utilize A2SD. Partition your SD card and you'll get more room.

There is no issue, you just don't have an ext partition ergo, all applications are installed to your phone which is why you have low phone memory.

Hello! app2SD will put the apps to ext...Then you will have more memory, why do you think people use it? To save even more money on geico?
Go here for the amon recovery...

Hi, first of this has nothing to do with development, should be in Q&A. Please remember for next time
OK, when you're on a custom ROM, don't use factory reset. Instead boot in to the recovery image and perform a wipe from there, and that's exactly what I'd suggest. Be prepared to loose everything stored on the phones memory, but you can use a backup app from the market for that... No you really should way more space than that, I can't really explain why...

The phone has two main partitions: /system and /data. It isn't /system that's filling up, it's /data (which makes sense...). The phone can't write to /system when it's unrooted, so it's not possible to store files there...
Everyone is trying to help but for a noob it can be a bit too much...4.2.7.1 is the best Rom available so keep that....RA Recovery is the best way to set up your memory card to accept your apps and keep them there freeing up a ton of space on the phone....simple way to fix is....Just format you sdcard with EXT3 using the RA-recovery v1.5.1 then once your card is formatted just reboot and Cyanogen's rom will move all the apps for you.....will not need to wipe any info on the phone that way...done it many times......Pm me if you need help!!!!

(partition sd card)
The non rooted standard T-Mobile rom is about the same size and will give you about the same amount of free space. There could be a more barebones rom but I think it's just a lot easier to run Apps2SD then to create a rom that might get you an extra 10mb of internal space. This is the fault of the internal memory on the phone being small. The only way to fix that is getting Apps2sd running which if you make a partion of 100mb should be enough to install all the apps you need. Getting a larger SD card for $10 is also another option so you wont have 1/10th of your sd cards storage gone.

Guys thank you very much for your help..... i partioned my sd and now i have 58.8 MB free on internal.... you guys are great.
Is there anything else i can do besides rooting, apps2sd and overclocker to make even faster?

You can always try different roms. CM is good and fast, but maybe try dwang 1.13 or Wesgarner version. wg is based on CM. I find it faster and more stable but this is just my opinion. if you back everything up with nandroid and some app like mybackup, you can flash all you want. you'll be able to get everything back with a nandroid/mybackup restore. try different stuff out and figure out what you like!
just got my new class 6 card and want to set up apps2sd. im running fresh rom 2.1.2. as i understand apps2sd in built in to it. I will be doing a full wipe and reinstall of the rom. and wanted to set up apps2sd along with it since im currently starting to run low on memory. I was also wondering what the different options in RA are for and the difference between them "ext2 to ext3 and ext3 to ext4?" also which one do i use and do i need to use some space for a swap file?
thanks,
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.

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
