My milestone runs quite slow after I install the APP2SD, so I try to uninstall it.
After I uninstall the APP2SD, I can't boot my milestone! It just stay at the Motorola logo!
What can I do??
Tried a NAND-Restore?
may be the ext2 partition....
clear it and look if it helps....
if not reformat your sd-card with fat16 and look if it helps....
I got bootloop after i restored my milestone to factory.
clearing the ext2 partition on my sd fixed the problem....

Okay so my Droid is running okay, but I would like to have more memory for apps. So I figured, why not just use the app2sd script from DT after partitioning my card in CWM like I did my Ascend. I tried these steps:
1. In the CWM recovery (2.5.0.1 and 3.1.0.2) there is no option ANYWHERE to partition the SD card like in the 2.x.x.x CWM on my Ascend.
2. I partitioned in ROM Manager and chose 512 Partition with 128 MB Swap. The phone reboots and partitions the SD, and I checked in MiniTool Partition Wizard to make sure, there was a ext3 partition and a linux swap.
3. I move all apps to Internal memory, went in to CM Settings and allowed application moving.
4. Flashed DT's beta 4 script in recovery and it wouldnt boot, had to clear dalvik cache.
5. Get back in and found that the apps had moved no where. I check the sd-ext folder in Root Explorer and it said empty folder. a2sdgui does not work, if I change something, it just changes back.
6. Reflashed, tried S2E (simple2ext) and had the same issue, it isnt recognizing the ext partition.
7. Reflashed and tried various other settings with no luck.
What should I do? I really dislike having 15mb of internal memory free. Any help would be loved
Here is the info:
Was using the latest CM7 build but now I tried it on SteelDroid 9... same issue
Got view but no replies? Need some help here....
delete all previous scripts and try link2sd. i have been using it successfully.
I've flashed custom roms many times, but I have a couple questions regarding Texas ICS p10.
Currently running:
MeDroid 4.1.
BlackRose with System 220MB Cache 16MB Data 200MB
Amon’s RA recovery
Here's a checklist of what I should do:
Backup everything.
Update Blackrose to system 210 / cache 8 / userdata 218.
Wipe everything / factory reset 3 times
What do I need to do regarding formatting/partitioning the sdcard? ext4? setting dalvik cache to use sdext or data partition? In Amon's RA recovery, I have a "partition sdcard" option, with options to
- Partition SD
- Repair SD:ext
- SD:ext2 to ext3
- SD:ext3 to ext4
Do I need to do anything to get a2sd working other than rebooting a couple times?
Flash Texas' p10.
Flash google apps.
Restore.
Done.
Thanks in advance.
Sounds like you got it
if you are ext4 from medroid, you should be fine--not sure, but ext3 may work too
your current partition sizes are ok
see this on a2sd
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21222591&postcount=1374
i think you only rin a2sd install one time
i went to p10 and tiamets kernel and had some issues, restored back to p9 and lost my app links--even a sdcard reformat didn't work with p9 so went back to a medroid nandroid
haven't had time figure it out
medroid 6.1 is pretty stable for me

How can I check if the sdcard is formatted as 4ext?
Isn't it dangerous having a cache partition of only 8 MB?

maybe gparted or a partition tool program
i am having sdcard issues atm so can't test--terminal em can check, forget command, but sometimes it wasn't accurate for me
i don't know that 8mb is dangerous--some larger apps may not work right--depends how rom handles them. cm7 handles them well--miui doesn't--or so folks say
Don't know about 8MB cache, but it's kinda vurnerable to have only 210MB system partition now. If you have any plan to switch to other ics rom, i.e. MeDroidMod, you'll only have a little size left, or even nothing left. I repartizied back to 220/16/200, which is acceptable for any rom.

Ok, so I followed the checklist I listed above. p10 stalls at the blue X boot logo for 10 minutes now. Anyone know why it's doing this? I'm going to go do a full wipe/repartition/reinstall again. I left my hboot alone, as suggested twice.
Actually, I opened blackrose and it automatically installed the latest blackrose, which put my phone in recovery and apparently wiped the rom??? Anyway, now I couldn't change hboot partitions anyway, so I proceeded with the rest of the checklist...
Have a 220/16/200 partition?
Boot into recovery, if you have 4ext recovery, you can format everything except sdcard, then flash p10 & gapps.

Yeah, I have that partition. I just wiped everything, repartitioned the sdcard and reflashed... currently 8 minutes in the boot animation...
Not sure what to do from here.
Installed latest medroid 1.3.2a and it just keeps booting back into recovery.... hrm.
Do I need to flash a boot img as described here?

Ok, it installed. Updating blackrose, which took out my ROM for some reason, reverted to the default hboot as far as I can tell. I put the 220 version back on wiped and reflashed and it booted just fine.
Ended up using Medroid 1.3.2a instead of TexasIce p10. Even though p10 has HWA, it has bugs (browser rendering on zoom takes 2 seconds, sometimes longer) and isn't as fast as Medroid in general.
just got 1.3.2a and is running great
samuaz is loading HWA version now, but may have same issues as T's
First boot on ICS may take a while ! Just chill out ^^
Apps disappear on reboot (A2SD, miui.us ICS 2.2.24, Ext3)
I have installed ICS v2.2.24, activated a2sd (a2sd install in terminal emulator)
I can install apps, and everythin seems fine. I se that free space on the ext3 partition goes down as I install apps (so they end up on ext3 partition).
When I reboot however, all the installed apps are gone, only system apps remain, in the Launcher.
If I go to Settings, Applications, all the apps are in the list, but show as beeing moved to SD-card, and unavailable. the list shows the package names, not the app names, and no icons. If i press an app from the app list, it says App: 0B USB storage app: 0B, Data:25KB (for example)
After reinstall, i can install apps again, but they disappear every reboot. Settings do not disappear, Icon arrangement is remembered, stock widgets stay where they were....
i have tried running a2sd install several times. Also a2sd cachesd, a2sd align, a2sd fixapk. a2sd diskspace shows that ext3 has data (100mb)
I have not tried a2sd xdata (as i want to keep rest of data on phone)
I have tried all this while using CWM as my recovery as well as while having 4ext as my recovery. Rom was flashed with 4ext
Anyone else have this issue? Anyone been able to fix it?
Ps. have wiped dalvik and ext3 to start over a few times... No difference.
Also, does anyone know what a2sd script is being used in miui now?
In gingerbred it was Darktremors a2sd, but this appears to be a different script.
I have experienced this several months ago with different rom. As long as I remember, it was caused by bad partition.
Try to repartition your sd card via 4ext recovery, ext4 should be ok. Back up your sd first.

Ah, forgot to mention, did that allready. Several times even. Today i also tried formatting from ext3 to ext4, just to see what happened. No change
Did you ever solve the problem?
I'm about to flash a similar set up and would hate to have the same issue.
Yes, I downloaded and installed Darktremors A2SD. Works great now?
I'm running CM 7.2 and recently installed S2E (used Rom Manager to partition the SD card with an ext partion 512M). I tried installing an app a few days later, and the phone would just reboot. The "Applications" checkbox in the S2E settings was grayed out. So I went into the settings, unchecked the option to mount the sd-ext partition as ext4 and rebooted.
That's where the real trouble began, the phone rebooted and all apps were missing, almost as if I had just installed a fresh copy of CM7.2 on the phone. So I have two questions?
1) Should I attempt to repair the ext partition on the SD card, or is this even the problem?
2) If 1 isn't the issue, is there a config file for S2E somewhere that I can change the flag to force the sd-ext partition to boot as ext4 again?
Thanks for any help on this!
Hallo everyone!
I tryed link2sd for my xperia zr.
I make 2 partitions on my sd card. 32 GB SD and for link2sd I make it 2 GB formated with 4ext.
I normaly boot and install link2sd. After I started it and made a script to sdext partition with 4ext.
Then link2sd asked me for reboot and suddenly screen went black.
No booting possible with insert sd card. Bootloop apairs.
Booting without sd works and after deinstalling link2sd, everything seems to be ok.
What can I do, to run link2sd on my XZR under Lollipop (5.0.2) without bootloop?
Greetings Lemmi.

For link2sd to work you need 2 apps apps. Download busybox from the play store and install it. Reboot. Then download init.d toggler/ universal init.d from the play store and enable init.d by running the app. Reboot. Make sure your second sd card partition is formatted and then mount the partition with link2sd.
Works without any problems for me.
Do it really works so with Lollipop?
I heard that I have to wait for a remount boot fix and then it should work well. Will be installed with the new dual recovery that will come out in a view days or so.
What doas ini.d make? Dont understand this app.
Just tryed it now, but at the time I make the second partition with ext4, my XZR gets into bootloop.
So I think it wont work for me. Have to wait for bootloop fix.

Oh .... Didnt know about that remount fix thats needed. Im on unlocked bootloader with custom kernel already having twrp by xenius9, so maybe thats why it worked for me ....
I am on looked boot loader, stock rom rooted.
Dual Recovery don't work right now and causes bootloop and for linktosd I need this remount reboot fix.
