if i remember correctly, just don't have an ext partition on your sd card and it should keep them on your internal memory.

My apps are already in my SD card. I want to format my SD card, but I want to move my apps to my internal memory first. If I just insert a new SD card without any ext partition, wouldn't I run into a lot of problems?

it would, but i was assuming you were starting on a fresh wipe and installation.
Follow this guide at the bottom it tells you how to "Uninstall" Apps2Sd

I was wondering is their a way to put the rom into internal memory and the apps in the SD? If so how would I partition my SD card to do that?

I don't see how that thread helps..? I just want a partition with the apps not the rom
The rom is always on the internal memory, thats why its the rom. Your phone loads the rom files from the sd card onto your phone.
You have to partition your sd card first, that way your phone/rom knows where to store the apps.
Original question(s) seem to be solved.

I've installed CM 4.1.11.1 and created an EXT3 partition on my SD Card using the recovery console, but when I install apps they seem to take up space on both my SD card AND my phone internal storage. I tested with a decent sized app such as Guitar Hero (4mb), which took about 3mb of my phone's storage, and 5mb of my SD card. Is there any way to make it completely use my SD card? Or is this normal?
Not using actual Apps2SD, using the one built into CM

I just got my g1 not so long ago and decided to start rooting. I've gone so far as installing cyanogens newest rom. and i just finished partitioning my sd card to ext2/3 successfully. but when i flashed the rom again all my apps were gone. on the market it says i have them but i cant uninstall or open them because they're not installed on the phone. any help on how to get my apps working again?
G1: White (Like it makes a difference lol)
Recovery : RAs 1.3.2
Rom: MLIGN 3.0
SD: 8 gig class 2
Love MLIGN but obviously my sd is the only problem keeping my phone running smooth, so I am upgrading my SD to a class 6. Is there anything special that I need to do since my phone is already running MLIGN and RAs when I pop in the new sd? (i.e. partition?)
Thank you in advance!
you won't have apps on your ext unless you pull them on adb then push then onto the new card.

no because ext partition is linux, windows wont see the partition. i use paragon partition manager and just copy the partitions from my sd card

Is the right way popping in the sd card, partitioning it, then adding the apps?
If it wouldnt be to much to ask, can someone take me step by step, or advise if the above method in red will work.
Thank you in advance
Well you need an ext file browser
try extfs browser by paragon
open up the ext partition on the SD. Take the folders app, app_private, and put them on your computer
partition the card, plug it in, and copy over the folders back onto the new ext partition
My HTC Hero is running low on memory space (I have Apps2sd installed also, but it can't move all apps), so I partitioned my 8G SD card with ROM manager, with 32M swap, 1g ext4 and the rest being FAT32.
After reboot, I still only see 160M of internal memory from settings, which is the original, and about 6.1G on SD card. That means it already took out the 1G, but why I don't see it as internal memory? Is it because of ex4? I tried ex3 too and got the same.
I have backed up the original SD card, but have not copied it back to the partitioned SD card yet. Anything else I need to do in order to see the expanded Internal Memory?
Thanks in advance!

Your sdcard space has nothing to do with internal memory. What you need to do if you want to have more space is 1 or 2 of a few different things: go into root explorer, move apps from /data/app to /system/app; Use Firerat's Custom MTD Partitions
either of those should give you more internal memory.

I read that after partitioning the SD card, apps will be installed into the ext3/4 partition automatically. But that's not the case after I partitioned. Then I found I need to install app2sd+ instead of app2sd. Is that true?
Where do I download app2sd+ ? do I need to flash a different ROM? I am having CM 6.2.0 now.
Thanks!

CM6.2 has native apps2sd. Go to settings>CM settings>Application settings and select "Allow application moving", then select "External" for Isntall location.
Also, you can move apps that don't install or allow swap to the SD via Titanium Backup.
Just be warned that any apps that have widgets lose widget functionality if you move them to the SD.

Does it install ALL apps to SD card? I thought it's the same as App2sd, only moving those apps that specified by the developers as movable. And there are many apps that can't be moved to external.
My understanding is by partitioning the SD card, the EXT2/3/4 part is considered as part of the "internal memory" so that ALL apps will be installed here, thus free the real internal memory and lead to better performance.
The problem is it doesn't work after partitioning and I read that it needs app2sd+ or app2sd EXT to work, and I am having trouble finding them...
Thanks any way.

Not all, but most. Like BrandoKC said, you can move more apps to the sd using Titanium Backup. Don't move anything with a widget you use, or it won't work anymore.

Are you talking about the paid version of Titanium? The free version doesn't have this feature.

CM's built-in Application Management can only move those apps that you can move by app2sd. I don't see such feature on the free Titanium Backup. My 160M internal memory is constantly under 20M of free memory.
I heard all the good things about using partitioned SD card. I have partitioned my card but that alone doesn't seem to work. it seems I also need to install some customized ROM on top of my CM 6.2 so that apps will be automatically installed on SD?
Thanks!
The free version of titanium does have it. I just used it on my fiances phone last weekend.

Hello:
I've getting these low memory warnings everytime i update my apps. i've moved most of my apps to the SD.
My internal memory is 196MB, is this right?
i'm thinking when i flashed cm7, i might have assigned way too much ext memory. if thats the case, how do i re-partition my memory. i need to update my rom to version CM7.1
thanks,
oh yeah, and for some reason, my SD card total space is 3.03GB (but the factory SD card's memory i believe is 1.99GB)
If you're using CM7 why not use DT a2sd or S2E to move apps to the EXT section of the sd card?
If I read your post correctly, you partiton your sd card but you're moving apps to the FAT32 portion of the sd card.
If you use S2E or DT, you can move apps, and dalvik cache to the sd ext portion of the sd card (what these script does is make the phone think the sd-ext is part of your internal storage. This way apps with widgets, passcode can stil lwork like normal.

Yes that is correct
Confirmed here too. 196 on non-rooted stock N1. That's all she has.
