Hey guys,
I found this vid for G1 will this process work for HTC hero if not then how would I go about doing this on the Hero, please help
Not really...
Do you have a rooted phone ? Which rom are you using ?
If your phone is rooted you can try that guide :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645253
There is a section for app2sd.
Why isn't it possible to make the official 2.1 rom which is rooted work with app2sd?
I haven't said that.. I just said that this method is not for the Hero...
I don't know for the official 2.1 rom rooted because I don't use it and it may be because app2sd isn't included..
yeah i know, that you didn't said it sorry, didn't wanted to say something wrong. But in every App2sd Tutorial i found so far you have to install the custom firmware to get app2sd... i mean is it something which has to do with the kernel?
Not really sure but see:
Setup Apps2SD
ONLY RECOMMENDED ON CLASS 4+ SD CARDS. Don't bother if you don't know what this is . GIYF.
Do this process after doing everything else! So make sure you have a working custom rom installed which supports Apps2SD. This is designed for VillainROM which doesn't use a swap, if your ROM does support swap ask for a recommended amount. Also note that the ext2 partition will be unreadable from windows or through android os.
1. Backup your SD card to your computer (very important as this process will wipe all the data on it)
2. Restart your phone into recovery mode (Home + Power)
3. Select:
Partition sdcard
Partition SD
Press Home
Swap-size = 0 MB
Ext2-size = 512 MB (recommended)
FAT32-size = Remainder
Press Home
4. Once complete Reboot system now and wait! This can take 20 minutes or so to complete, so just keep waiting!
(Optional - before reboot) - Under partition sdcard you can convert the ext2 partition to ext3 - "SD:ext2 to ext3" - however this isn't recommended as it can apparently wear out your sd card quicker. I believe VillainROM even supports ext4 as well so you can do "SD:ext3 to ext4" after the first one too. Though again this will typically just wear out your SD faster without providing any speed benefits.

You don't need to install anything... App2SD is included in the rom you have dowloaded (if it is included of course)
Which rom do you have ?
2.1 Official HTC Stock rom with root... and no i don't wanna use a custom rom, because im happy with the stock rom
So it should be because the dev didn't include App2SD in the rom :s
Hmm okay im asking now like a noob:
do i need an apk which i install in the hero, so that i can do the adb-commands and get app2sd working?
do i need to switch the kernel, so that i can do the adb-commands and get app2sd working?
are both of the suggestions wrong and i would need something other than that?
My rom is: RoufianosV1.1-Clean - http://hero-roms.blogspot.com/2010/06/roufianosv11-clean.html
so it does have apps2sd included...

Hmmm I don't really know it sorry :s
However I don't think that there is an apk..Try to ask it to the dev who provide the rom..
Sorry
thanks man its working now btw, can i increase the fat2 to more than 512mb?
Yes you can but it will be useless because 512 Mb of apps is really huge !!
I agree, but the reason why i want to do it is because i only have about 108mb available internal space so i thought if i increase it above 512mb i should get more perhaps?
Hello!
I have used Apps2SD Script included with G.O.T Recovery to partition and set up Apps2SD on my Milestone. Upon reboot everything works fine except that I can't launch two paid apps, namely: Got To Do and MountUSB. They were installed from Market but in place of the icon and name I get default icon (Droid's head on white background) and com.slamjibe.... and upon launching it I get FC. Can anyone help me?
contact the developper of these apps ask them support for apps2sd , many dev havent updated there apps for it ...
Hmm, I'm having this problem as well with apps not installing correctly.

Which Apps2SD option did you guys use from the G.O.T. menu? I am using the "Symlink Edition" and it is working fine so far.

hi dsixda, I used just the plain and simple App2SD install I couldn't find a clear explination of the differences between just app2sd and the symlink version, if you have the chance, of if you are willing to could you please try to install Horoscope and Tarot by horoscope.com I know bad example app but its one that I remember off the top of my head.

Yeah that horoscope app runs fine for me! Basically the "symlink edition" of Apps2SD just changes the location of the /data/app and /data/app-private folders to the EXT2 partition on the SD card.

Just do a Titanium Backup of all your current data, do a Nandroid backup, then reflash the ROM without apps2sd.
Then, restore with Titanium, make sure all your apps are on your device, and then finally apply the symlink edition of Apps2sd... It will move them all.
Kk so instead of doing a titanium back up, I did a full wipe, replashed, re nandroid'ed, re formatted my sd card, and installed the syslink or symlink app2sd and everything works perfectly now
Thanks you guys

Check the available memory in the Settings menu, it should be higher now. Or just use adb, go into /data and do an "ls -l". The app folder should point to another folder. Also, in Root Explorer the app folder should now show the size remaining proportional to your ext2 partition.
I have actually modified an existing script so that now even the /data/dalvik-cache is moved to sd. I have freed up over 30MB more now. I can attach it later.
Apps2SD script
Here's a script that takes your apps to the SD card, and also links the /data/dalvik-cache there. With a newly flashed Milestone you should see at least 190MB free.
Just unzip this under /sdcard/OpenRecovey/scripts. Launch it from OpenRecovery, using the menu option Miscellaneous-->Run script-->install_apps2sh.sh..
NOTE: Make sure your /system/bin/mot_boot_mode is either the stock one or the one that GOT's OpenRecovery added. Otherwise the script will not work.
My script is based on another APPS2SD script, but I changed it so that it doesn't overwrite the modified mot_boot_mode file that GOT's OpenRecovery had added when you do overclocking, memhack, etc. (if it's not there then it will add it).

Hi , thanks for the response, just to clarify, after rooting with got's open recovery and flashed v2a roms, i splited my sd card thru the got's open recovery program and install the symlik edition of app2sd, indeed my memory from 16x became 194, but when i install some program, some space were taken up i think, it appear to be 189 now, i installed launcherpro and a few stuff, so i can assume that my app2sd is working and it is just because some program cant support to install to sd right? Sorry for my bad english.

It's probably because of the stuff stored under /data/data (application data, not the apps themselves). I have the same issue too. You can try to make a symlink to move them your sd card, but it actually slows down your apps when u run them, even with a high-speed / Class 6 SD card.

So i should go and install again ? o.o , the moment i load the roms i split the sd and install already, not sure should i install again or not .

NO.... It's application DATA that's taking up space, not the apps themselves. Not much you can do about it. It's normal. The symlink method would have moved your apps to the SD card automatically.

I highly recommend using CMW for making the partition. I've had some problems making them through my PC. With CMW you just set the amount of size you want it and wait till its done.
Then install S2E.
yea its better to make it by cwm and its very easy....
but make sure you have the backup of you sdcard before partitioning...
Hey ! I just googled about partitioning sd card and found that CWM may brick your phone.. is it true ?

If your phone is rooted, follow these steps -
1) Download root explorer or file manager app from market.
2) Open the app
3) Go to system/app
4) Delete the following files
swype.apk
thinkdroid.apk or thinkfree.apk if you dont use thinkfree office(something like that, i dont remember the exact name)
youtube.apk
fmradio.apk and fmradio.odex
voicesearch.apk
voicerecorder.apk and voicerecorder.odex
etc..
Delete these files only if you dont use all these apps. Don't blame me later on.

Apps disappearing from EXT4 partition
Hi everyone. Since I see that at least part of this thread seems to be talking about Link2SD, I wondered whether anyone might be able to offer some insight into the problem I am experiencing.
Before that however, let me explain that I started off with an 8GB micro SD card with a 500MB EXT4 partition. I had been fast running out of space in the internal phone memory, and my SD drive itself was also filling up fast. When I installed Link2SD I managed to regain a considerable amount of free space on the internal memory.
The problem is though that once I had linked the majority of my apps to the EXT4 partition and backed up the device in that condition with CWM, once I rebooted the system all the apps that were linked had disappeared. However there are still some 244MB of files on the EXT4 partition that Link2SD says are in use, and I cannot delete them.
I then purchased a 16GB micro SD card from Samsung, and tried to restore the CWM backup to that card....my apps were missing apart from the few that remained on the FAT32 partition and in the phone memory....I should mention that this also happened before I installed the CM7.1 ROM.
Now things have really become problematic. I decided to remove quite a few apps, then download the latest version of Link2SD from the apps Market. But although there is now plenty of space on all partitions I keep getting the 'insufficient storage available' message, and I cannot install anything. I also did a CWM restore on the original 8GB SD card with the same result. This is why I cannot lay the blame fully on Link2SD, as there has to be a glitch somewhere in my installation.
FreeSpace [Root] shows the following on the 8GB based system:
Cache free space 20.7MB
Data free 16.6MB
Ext free 265.0MB
SD-card free 959.1MB
System free 48.2MB
So what gives? I really don't understand what's going on. I am running the latest CM7.1-RC1 Cooper-Grif ROM build number GWK74, with Kernel version 2.6.35.7-CL-562111 [email protected]#1 with all updates necessary. This is costing me more time than I can afford to lose on this, and I really need to find a solution once and for all, preferable without having to reinstall everything again from scratch, which is what I intend doing once the official Cyanogen Mod becomes available finally.
Thanks in advance, and apologies for the long post.

Make partition in cwm yet easy but...it will format your sd...on minitool is better if u have lots of thing on your sd...
regards,
•ƒγяύs ργяσ™•
I got some problems doing this. This is what I did:
I had many apps installed and moved to SD (8gb class 4), so I made a backup of the SD content.
I formatted it, and created 2 partitions (6.8gb and 515mb) using Minitool Partition Wizard. Both are primary and FAT32 (if I create the 2nd partition as EXT2 the phone says SD is damaged).
Moved my backup content again to the 6.8gb partition and rebooted the phone.
Looks like everything is right but Link2SD says "second partition not found".
What IM doing wrong?
Would Link2SD detect that 2nd partition if I flash my phone and I start installing apps now that my SD has 2 partitions?
IMHO from what I've experience, Link2sd does not accept fat partitions. I had the same problem.
Are you looking for the correct type of partition?
Start Link2sd>menu>More>recreate mount scripts and choose FAT32/FAT16

How to goto this place to edit it in CyanogenMod 7.2 RC3 by vo-1, APOCALYPSE? I installed it but cannot find a way to reach this place. And i cant ask question to the developer because im a new guy here so cant post a question ova there..

I dont have a CyanogenMod ROM im using Stocklite and i tried using link2sd but its no use..even though all the apps are stored in SD few apps has cache on internal storage so it eats all that..and now im in the same situvation but i will try what you said..
But i already did partitioning my SD using link2sd..how can i make my SD back to normal and once i install CyanogenMod ROM should i format my SD??? to take those partition away or should i do something else?

Are you linking the apk, dex and lib files or just installing (moving) apps to sd? You should create link to free up your internal space.
Take it from my experience. I used stocklite for almost 5 months with link2sd. Linked all apps except for those with widgets or that i needed at boot left on internal. 80 apps, 50 mb free on internal.
If you change to cyanogenmod you won't have more internal space, same space, different rom. When you do the required wipes with cwm (which you should to install cyano roms) it will format and erase the partition. You'll still have your partitioned sd card, but all info in that partition will be gone.

I installed Cyno Mod 7 ROM and it works just fine and i have partitioned again and everything is fine now..but i backuped my stocklite and i dont have the original ROM which i used even before rooting how to get that 'the real one which i had when i bought the phone?' if i have that one ..i can change it to anytime when i want..
Carrier specific roms are harder to find than free roms. Go to sammobile and check if they have the rom that came with your phone.
The stock roms are all installed through your computer with odin and your phone in download mode.

[21.12.14][ROM/KERNEL] Alex-V Personal GPE ROM 2.1->ExternalSD2InternalSD ->Lolipop 5
Alex-V Personal GPE Rom
Introduction
This is simply my Rom that i use atm. Also i want to say hello again to a storage modification script ...as we all know the very most part
of the apps/Pictures and all other things go into internal space on gpe...so i decided to try some scipts and the one included is good i think
removed Google Launcher and used Android L Launcher - faster better
using HTC Camera and Gallery from skydragen rom (thx @HolyAngel)
HTC keyboard
HTC Photo Editor (QuickPic to use it) thx @ckpv5
Init.D Support
no aroma simple install
using latest gpe ruu from @graffixnyc (thx to him)
my own kernel (features are the same as my sense kernel 1.6)
EXTSD2INTSD storage modification script (original from @mattiadj -thx to him)
more infos to the script : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/mod-extsd2internalsd-v8increase-data-t1772234
script is 99% working..it just only shows the old space (gb)
some more things i forgot
Installation instructions:
copy rom to sd
flash latest firmware
format data in recovery
make a a user wipe

some things more to the script
original is from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/mod-extsd2internalsd-v8increase-data-t1772234
i only changed the name of the external card..now this maches m8 external card.....the only thing that not work ..it still shows the old partition space...but the script work...if you make a photo for example it store now in the external sd card instead of the internal...also if you look on how to test the script in original thread..you will see it work...
anyway...maybe someone can have a look to the script to get last things done...will attach it here...
also for the future...i like to have the whole data mounted to the sd...if anyone can help or have ideas...let me know
thx
Very nice storage script, it reminds me of the old Desire days
BTW was using your odexed Alex-V Rom for ages on my Desire, now I am very glad to test your rom again.
Will report tomorrow!

yeah..the good old times...but still nothing new...lol..its a kinda strange that most things even...if a big game downloading data it will go to internal sd...which not have much space...it makes no sense..actual i use a 32gb sd...in future i want a 64 or 128 gb and want to have the whole data part (if possible) to external sd...if i have than the space of the internal free and can take this for music and other...
anyway thx for testing and using in the past and now
Nice will repost back. Thanks Alex

Any way to swap that back? All my music is on my external, no space... =/
*Edit*
Root is broken as well. I even downloaded and flashed version 2.40 from his thread and no go. App freezes when either trying to give permissions or you try and open the app.
Already have the latest supersu.zip on sd card and flash after all of this 5.0 roms in general. Trust me nothing directed art this build or OP.
Safe?
I am not following the concerns with this ROM.
Is it safe to flash or will I lose my SD card or Root if I do?
Thanks
Aussie
Is that script specifically for this ROM or all other versions of any ROM ? I'm actually interested as everything I download gets downloaded to internal sdcard,and not external. Is the script automatic ? Or does one need to run it as an automatic option (run at boot:script manager) ? I'm on a 4.4.4 ROM, so this script is the first time I've seen anything like it...

Tested the script (the one that taken from your ROM.zip)
In a way ... it is a very good script as it mounts the whole external_sd as internal_sd. So the original internal_sd is basically not in use as storage by the system. But users can manually use the original internal_sd to store his files such as musics, movies & etc.
So to use this script, it is advisable on a clean flashed ROM.
I tested this script on my personal ROM. The whole external_sd now mounted as internal_sd. And the original internal_sd now mounted as intSdCard. So any app that rely on its data in internal_sd will fail. Simple solution is to move its data from intSdCard to newly mounted internal_sd.
Now .. I can understand your idea to have the whole data mounted to original internal_sd. And I believe the whole data already mounted to internal_sd. Reason is, in MTP the Internal storage now read the external_sd.
So... need to find a fix to show the right storage space instead of the old space storage .. then we can mount a bigger capacity sdcard as internal_sd

Yep I would too. I'm good tho. Thanks Alex
Sorry guys..I am I'll.stomach flu..hope that tomorrow will be a better day
@Alex-V I hope i'm not asking a stupid question here but with that script of yours, does that mean that if I install apps, the apps and they're data will go into my external SD card instead of the M8's internal storage?
Will you also mind posting some recommended kernel settings for the first time users?
I saw that I have to use the firmware posted, can I just use back sense firmware as I don't have s-off?

1. The apps and their data still go to data partition but their \Android\data\ and \Android\obb will go to external_sd instead of internal storage.
2. Kernel settings - Alex-V is the right person to advise as I don't use any custom kernel.
3. Not necessarily to use that particular firmware, you can use your 4.4.4 Sense firmware .. maybe yours is same as mine 3.32.707.9

Guess my SD card has to be fast and big for performance to be smooth? As for the kernel, i'm using stock at the moment. We do have the same firmware by the way
