hi all.
I have an issue. on my sd card i have a 1gb ext4 partition. BUT in open recovery it says i have 512mb free after i just did a wipe. what's worse is that on the android system itself it tells me i only have just over 200mb of free rom despite over 120mb of that being the phone's internal memory.
Can anyone help?
p.s i used minitool partition wizard
Bump....anyone?

I am totally baffled by this. I've had a2sd working once before, but this time it just won't work. I flashed cyanogen 6.1.1 for my phone, Nexus One, and added google apps by flashing that too, and the rom works fine.
I have partitioned my SD card with 30gb FAT, 1.1gb ext3, 60mb swap and the rest free. I then flashed darktremor. Now, when I open titanium backup pro, I see the bar for a2sd showing free space, and it says 152mb total, 20.2mb free.
Why do I not have the full size of my ext3 partition available?
What can I do to fix this?
Thanks guys
I have the same problem! Before starting a new thread I thought of posting it here,
I partitioned SD with Amon RA recovery (2.0.1) first with EXT2 and converted to EXT3
I have similar amount of memory, 138mb ! Isnt the partition made with recovery detected by the ROM?
Details : Fat32 3.5GB, EXT3 512MB
Look HERE the internal memory doesnt show the memory in the EXT partition. But apps get installed in there when you install them normally. Just check if your A2SD+ is working by the Quick System Info market app.
I read the whole thread A-Z, I suggest newbies do the same to get an understanding.
EDIT: DATA2SD shows this as the internal memory!
Hi I have Squadzones CyanogenMod 7.2.0 RC5 and I tried to partition my SD card for using one of the apps to make internal storage bigger.
So I have a 2Gb SD card and want to use 512Mb for Increasing internal storage, Dalvik cache, System apps and all other apps (But I want system to think they are internal, know what I mean?) and then 1.5Gb for External Storage so I can use it for Music, downloads, pictures, videos etc... Basically the space my PC can see.
So what settings should I choose in CWM and which app is the best for increasing internal storage????
Thanks in advance
first partition sd card on pc using a partition manager like Easeus partition manage,minitool etc. Format the partktion by either FAT or ext3 file system.Now,download a free software from android market called 'link2sd'.
Advantage of using this is that you can select which apps to move to sd or which to not.You can also link any apps to sd-ext partition.
If I helped helped you press thanks.
If I use this how much space will I have left to store music and such or will this use let the whole 2 Gb be used and then use some of that for storing cache and such

If you have a 2gb card you can make a partition (for eg.512mb ext3 partition)by using the above mentioned ways.You can only link any application to that partition only. However you can force move any app to sd card by using link2sd.In that case some software may gets functionless if they are not meant to move to sd(here you can apply 'link'function of link2sd.)
Advantage of link2sd over darktreamer app2sd or s2e is that you can select which part of the app (app,data or delvic cache) should be linked to sd.Moreover it is the most easiest method.
I've just bought my i9000, rooted it and flashed latest CM9 nightly. I've installed some games that are big (300mb+ each) and now I am getting kinda low both on Internal Storage (500mb) and on the Usb storage (1.1GB) (moved some of these apps to the "internal sdcard"). If I buy an external sdcard 8GB Class 10 can I make an ext4 partition on it, would it be recognized in the rom so I can use that sdcard for apps only ?
Ty in advance
I think it should work with apps2sd on every phone with every cm.

HELP if you know how to......
I have a 8GB SD Card.... and ext3 partition of 1GB on it.
Now i feel that 1 GB partition is too large and 700 MB of my card are getting waste.
Can i use Windows 7 Memory Storage tools to delete this partition and merge... ?
Or if there is any other way please tell.
Just format it and partition will be gone
Mini tool partition wizard also.

you can use any good partition manager and delete the partition you have created. And re-create the one with smaller size
I have the same problem.....deleting the partition with minitool partition didn't work .......I lost the partition space altogether ....had to struggle to restore the space

Simplest way is to use "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition"
With this app you can create/resize partition.
Hope this helps
Thank You Guys
Thank You All
i just formated using phone internal feature and again formated using CWM.

I have samsung galaxy mini GT-s5570. I have used Link2sd. I have 8gb memory card and allow 1gb for ext4 partition. When sometimes I flashed new rom and use Link2sd to link my applications , after linking all applications it shows free internal storage of 115 mb from 178 mb and EXT4 partition of sd card shows around 465mb out of 1gb. But due to problem I flashed same rom again and installed same number of same applications as previous and links all with SD card. Link2sd shows free space of only 65mb out of 178mb and EXT4 partition shows the only 243 mb filled out of 1gb. After that I tried with changing second partition file system , also format rom about 2-3 times., but the result is same as in 2nd case. What is the problem? because from My 1gb 2nd partition around 750 mb is free and now my internal storage is full. So can't install more app. Can anybody solve it?

Wipe data,sd-ext partitions(system optional). One more thing, even if you use link2sd, the internal storage gets filled up. Because apps keep some data on internal. Better solution is to use int2ext+ in ur case.(If want good performance then use int2ext, but your ext partition should be <500mb. Keep in mind, for each 500mb ext size, you need around 100mb internal storage when use int2ext).
