so i want to use a2sd to free up more space and i used Darktremor 2.7.5.3 Beta 04 and i partition my sd card and every thing but i just cant use it for some reason . when i go into titanium backup i can see that on a2sd i have at least 660 MB free.
i dont get it
I guess you're using it without understanding that you do, since you didn't read the documentation/search the forum and didn't understand, how to check if it's used. That's what mostly happens.
Just use S2E from the Market rather than DT.
Thanks guys

Need a side remark on this one: while it does the job and indeed is simple, reinstalling ROM will hurt the setup. There already was a thread about it on the forum.

hey people, I'm just 12 and I'm not as experienced. I have modaco 1.5.1 hero ROM, a 2gb sd with 32mb swap and 512 ext4 the weird thing is that after 162 apps my g1 says can't install app. is this because I need more space on my sd, or it can't handle 162 apps. oh and does anyone know the swap settings for swapper and some advice or anything to make this modaco run even faster and smoother. thank yall!!
162 Apps is a little extreme.. You've quite possibly filled the card.. consider deleting some that you don't use?

Why is it that in this thread you said that you were 14?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649409
I dont have an answer for you but HOLY CRAP! Thats a lot of apps! You must have every flashlight app ever released!
The only Rom Ive found with the old style linux ext partition apps2sd is a modaco premium kitchen rom, and i dont have a premium modaco account. Can someone implement this as a addon zip for the existing rooted froyo rom? Or maybe just make a new rom?
I looked around for documentation on how to implement this my self and haven't found anything useful.
from what ive read,froyo doesnt use this method.there are a couple of threads on using ap2sd on froyo.an easy fix.
i suggest if you want something from modaco premium account,you join up as i did.i doubt anyone here is gonna give you access to what theyve donated to.
the roms we have now are more or less test roms.source has not been released so you will most likely not see anything new until its released.
ne thing i cant believe is the way google implemented apps2sd on froyo. That was the reason for me to revert back to 2.1 CM 5.0.7.1
so +1 to this request. but i guess cyanogen will handle that, if he does a froyo version of cm, when froyo is final!
I liked the linux partition app2sd implementation better as well. Keeps the file-system available for the phone and the fat32 available to mount to a PC or whatever.
Yeah, I'm curious to see why they didn't use ext 2/3/4...
Fat32 app storage sucks. Anything with a widget has to be stored on phone.
Ok, my friend has the hero for sprint and it keeps saying his phone storage space is getting low. Its making his phone run very slow and I said i'd help him fix it. Can you guys pleeeaaassseee help me?

Is your friend running stock ROM?
Go to Settings > SD card and Storage and see what it says for free internal memory. I remember getting that message when mine was under 15 MB. I had too many apps on internal memory. I switched to a ROM that had apps2sd and now I have 100+ MB Free.

Sweet! His phone isn't rooted yet but I'm good with knowing how to root phones. What ROM has that apps2sd app thou? I have a samsung fascinate soo I don't know much about the hero lol. And its a stock ROM rom btw
1sT GeAr, U MaD??
Almost all ROMs now have apps2sd integrated.
If your friend wants to stay "stock" with the Sense UI, anything by nfinitefx45 is quality. He just released a ROM based on the newest Sprint release this morning! Check it out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849024
If you want something completely new, froyo AOSP, check out CyanogenMod 6.1 RC1.. it's perfectly stable.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755795
With both you'll get a lot more internal memory than stock ROM. If you still want A2SD, it's built in nfinitefx45's, and if you want it for CM6 then just run the easy froyo a2sdext in my signature. Just partition the SD card to ext2 and then upgrade from ext2 to ext3 before installing nfinitefx and it will work automatically. If using with CM6, partition anytime before running the script.

Exactly right, or for no sense but more speed, try CM 6.1.0
Or try AOSP!

That works too
low memory
Low memory can slow down the phone... lag the hell out of it if there is no room for "working" memory. You won't be able to view photos or listen to musice if you have too much on your phone. Been there done that flashed on cm6 no problems since.

You should be able to take 05mountsd and 07app2ext from any ROM that supports App2Ext (take it from system/etc/init.d) and place it in system/etc/init.d, it should work, never tried though.

Thanks for you reply, i'm sorry that i new, i don't understand how can i do it, Would you mind to help tell me step by step?
Thanks
Its not that simple as in custom roms becoz you need to be able to run scripts from init.d folder for it to work. For that to work, we need to mod the mot_boot_mode file.
Which rom are you using ATM?

Link2SD is a great apps, but i wounder that why cannot read ext2 partition in my Milestone, is it my orginal ROM not support ext?
I have also heard from many people that the procedure mentioned in the link below works on most stock roms. You could try it out.
It doesn't work on the Arabic ROM, so dont try if you have installed that.

It is a really cool App, installing the roms takes some time, but switching between them is quick and easy.

OMFGodddddd!!!!!!!! Yes!!!!! This is like legalizing drugs for flasher addicts!!
EDIT: bought it, and playing with it right now
edit: I like it alot, set the newer cm7 as my phone rom, and installed vicious miui in slot 1 just to play around with, its pretty fun, this makes me a flash a holic x5 or is that 4
Is this a must?
really cool app but this thread belongs in the themes & apps section
Playing around with this now, thx for the post. Never would have thought this would have been remotely possible ..therefore I never looked for anything like it via market lol.
cool app, but, how does it work?
is it automating the flashing process?
is it changing the boot.ini to make my phone look for the other os install on the sd card?
am I flashing like mad going in between roms?
I find these questions need to be answered first before I install this.
the way I understand it is
1.main rom i flashed on my phone internal memory+(kernel)
(on SD)
{
rom2+(kernel)
rom3+(kernel)
rom4+(kernel)
rom5+(kernel)
}
and the app works by flashing an update.zip that changes where the phone looks to boot.
Am I correct in my understanding?
EDIT:

Useful answers
1. Will this also work if you have a froyo rom and gb rom that you are switching between?
Yes u can install whatever roms u want to whatever slots gb roms froyo roms whatever makes u happy they're all completely separate it's like having 5 different phones basically
**** remember your radios folks we have mr1 and mr2 some roms need separate radios so if you use the app and swap, you wont have any data untill you flash a new one through hboot.
2. Are you saying that when you flash between roms, the app will auto wipe data, cache and dalvik?
The app creates imgs into the slots when u install a fresh rom to a slot u should check all the check boxes to wipe data cache and system but it doesn't wipe the data cache and system on ur phone just the slots data cache and system the app doesn't touch any of ur data on ur phone just makes it's own in the sdcard
3. Let's say I have Chevy's Froyo rom and his SS GB rom on there. If I flash from GB to froyo, then back to GB. Will I have to restore apps?
No each slot is saved all of it's data stays there nothing is ever wiped again just like having five phones basically all of ur slots are completely separate all of ur data is separate and saved nothing is lost
it aint workin right for me. I tried doing an install from the sdcard and it is telling me i dont have enough space. but i have 1.37 gb free!
This app is kick a**! I know one of the devs that made this app back from my D1 days (he was co-creator of one of the best D1 ROM's IMO) and he is an amazing dev! I was lucky enough to test this app and it is def worth the $$ if you're a person that can't decide on 1 ROM or you just like to try all the latest and greatest ROM's that drop.

So my question is...does it run the ROM from the SD card?
If so...how is the speed/lag once the ROM is booted up?
I like the idea of having different ROMs to test, but I'm wondering how much time you'd be saving if it takes that long to install a ROM initially.
A lot of these Devs have nightlys or almost nightlys....
Very interesting...
looks pretty retarded to me... right up there with rom manager. i cant wait to see how it effs things up for some beginner noobie
not all roms work,you may get FCs during setup... yeah looks pretty amazing.
think ill stick to manually wiping and restoring my nandroids after i get them set up.

That's what has kept me from purchasing it. It's been in the market for a few days now but if the rom runs off the sdcard it could cause issues.

That leads to my question. Isn't this basically like restoring a nand backup? Maybe this app makes it easier? IDK. I guess it's worth checking out.

On initial setup do you need to reinstall your current rom?
Sent from my ThunderBolt using XDA Premium App
Yes, it runs from the sdcard. Lag is minimal if you let the kernel settle when you boot one up. On my thunderbolt I don't really notice any lag and i don't even overclock.
