Hey everybody, I just switched to using MIUI as my daily driver, but the A2SD+ feature does not seem to be working with my sd card. How do I check to make sure that my partition is formatted correctly (i.e. ext3 not 2 or 4) and if it is formatted correctly, what do I do?
Thanks in advance,
Liam

Go to Settings > System tab > SD Card Settings
At the bottom it should say A2SD+ with Total space and Available space.

If it's there, you could download a terminal and run the command "a2sd repair" to repair it.

I ran this, without su command everything failed, with su command all non-system apps were made so the file was there on the phone but the app wasn't, and even though it said that I had over 100mb of free space for apps, whenever I tried to download an app, it said that it failed due to "insufficient storage". I just did a clean install of 1.5.27 (i heard 1.6 has an issue with theme manager) and it says I have 155mb of internal memory, and a2sd+ shows available space 1.88gb with available space at 1.84gb. Isn't the a2sd+ partition supposed to act like part of the internal memory, and as such be represented by a higher amount of free space for applications (in settings->programs->manage applications)? Should I just use a market app such as A2SDGUI - Darktremor?
Thanks,
Liam
Here's what I've done since the previous post.
I installed A2SDGUI from the market and moved my dalvik cache to the SD-EXT from internal memory. I also found out through A2SDGUI that my partition is ext3, which only further confuses me because ext3 partitions are meant to work seamlessness with MIUI a2sd+.
Now instead of having 180mb of storage space for apps, it shows (in settings->programs->manage applications) that I have about 200mb of storage. This is confirmed by going to settings->system->sd card settings and now the total space of a2sd+ is 1.79gb, with available space being 1.58gb (the 20mb difference). These findings are also corroborated by A2SDGUI.
My question now is how do I get the rest of my partition working with a2sd+? Do I rebuild dalvik cache, do I turn off JIT, do I change the dalvik VM heapsize?
Again thanks in advance,
Liam
I don't understand what the problem is: your apps are on the ext3 partition

only thing is that a2sd+ doesn't add the ext3 space to the internal space.
I believe data2ext (or some other version of that) does add it to the internal space, so it will say 2gb of internal space.
FYI, you shouldn't make your ext partition that big, it could be unstable then. 1GB is more than you'll need for a while, as you can see now (1.58GB free space).
1.79GB - 1.58GB = 215 MB

Lol, my bad, thanks.
Ok, so I decided that my ext partition must be messed up because every time I did something with it, weird things happened. So I flashed amonra, reformated my ext3 partition to 1.5gb with 32mb swap, and moved the dalvik cache as well as app data to the partition. Everything is working great now.

i have sgm running on jellybread rom(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2106187). according to the instructions"
- dont use apps2sd! (like s2e, darktremor, etc.). if you want to move app to sd-ext..
go to Settings > Apps > Manage application > tap the application you want to move >
Move to sd-ext" however when i did that it said not enough storage available
( i have ext 3, 1 gb partition) when i went to storage settings it said under sd-ext unavailable
i did a nandroid backup and then flashed the jba2sdx script now internal memory shows 1gb and sd ext shows 178 mb.
can i keep it like this? why (earlier) was sd ext not showing?
thanks!
btw is there any way to find out if this rom has init.d support?
now your sd ext is your internal and there's no problem if you are not having issues you can freely keep it

well its working without any lag or anything no errors (yet). but do i have to keep apps in internal memory only?
currently in storage option, there a the folowing:
SD CARD
total space-13.8gb
available space- 4.64 gb(thts all my stuff)
SD-ext
total space-178 mb
available-130 mb
INTERNAL STORAGE
tottal space- 0.94gb
available space-4.04mb (this was after just 19 apps)
that's why im asking how to clear that internal memory? when i go to manage applications there are options move to sd-ext and move to sd card.
what should i do?
I think your internal memory is still 178mb and system is thinking that sd-ext is internal (but it's not)
i would say system is reporting wrong info
ok in terminal type busybox df and paste the result here

uh...firstly that's coz i removed all those app (i did the nandroid backup to get the screenshots before jba2sd)
and im not sure if im explaining what i need properly....what i mean is that when apps are stored on internal memory they take up a lot of space...minimum 10mb (these are the small apps) and some of these start taking even 80 mb and stuff.....since i am using the jba2sdx script can i use the move to sd card option in manage applications or it will cause lag and stuff.?
and secondly why does sd ext show unavailable before flshing and after flahing becomes 178mb?
maybe jba2sdx script interchange your internal with sd-ext
you can try that option
just don't use much apps
Alright, so I've rooted and flashed CWM but when doing backups in
Nandroid and Titanium both stored in on my internal memory, while I want it on my SD card.
SD card: 32GB, FAT32(one partition), tried to make two FAT32 partitions but the second was not detected by both Windows pc and phone.
Phone sees my internal storage as "sdcard0" while it sees my sd card as "extSDCard"
1)Should I use App2SD(they changed it's name to App MIGR) or Link2SD to move apps to SD?
I've got most things covered for Link2SD but I still don't understand the init.d support; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087497
2)While the Nandroid backup is pretty much organised, Titanium backup has like dozens of files, which am I supposed to choose if I wanted to restore my Titanium backup ?( I did the Backup new user+system apps & newer versions batch only.)(Nandroid didn't even detect my SD card while backing up.)
In cwm choose "backup and restore" / "backup to external sdcard" and your backups will be put in clockworkmod-folder on external sd.
For titanium backup you have to set location for backups to be on your external.
Have a look in titanium settings to change the default path.
I use derectorybind to bind the whole android folder to external.
Works great!

Got both external options to work for now.
Did u mean u bind the whole RAM or just the internal storage. Does it warn you when some apps i.e. widgets can't be moved(before it's broken) or doesn't it have that limit like Link2SD ? (Am still hestitating to use it;
-App2SD has this note:"Move apps function may not work on your devcie as manufacture removes the function of moving apps to SD from Android system" don't know whether we have that.
-Link2SD has sort of difficult requirements before install.
-DirectoryBind; Because many issues where posted by members.

Directorybind has nothing to do with ram. You just symlink appdata from "/sdcard/android" to your external to get more internal space
Never had any problems with it and im using it on three different devices.

Got confused; I meant system ROM, since I just saw ~260MB left, but I suppose I made a mistake cause the system saves data to my internal storage too, am I right... o.0 ?
What are the differences between DirectoryBind, App MGR and Link2SD anyways?

How much space for;
FAT32 partition
Ext4 partition
Swap partition
and why on a 32GB SD card, the values.
The fat32 can be any size, this is your normal sd card data that you can use on your pc (music, videos, pics etc).
Ext4 should be however many apps sizes you want. Like if you have a lot of play store downloaded then set this as big as you think you need but save some space for linux swap.
Linux swap should be minimum 300mb (according to the guide), this is like a bit of extra ram incase your system ram gets full. Mine works fine with 800mb.
If you're looking for an example of what you could set, here :
Fat32 : 15gb
Ext4 : 15gb
Linux swap : 1gb
They could work fine is not very complicated unless I'm wrong. Study the guide well and read other people's posts on there too.

Ok, chewed up and ready for quick digestion:
So 8GB version is leaving you with ~4,64GB for W/E you want to put/install there.
16Gb ver. should be ~12,64GB...
It's all clear if you read the specs and know how any smartphone is working.
Even more chewed up and ready to digest faster:
That is the internal system memory available to USER. Said that, it means you can use that potion of internal memory for purposes like storage or installations. If it does not suffice, toss in a 8/16/32gb MicroSD card and store photos/videos/music there thus leaving the internal memory for installations only. Do the same for the various caches etc, and clean up from time to time.

But I do understand, just you pone a question in a way that seem a bit odd (NHF all the way) thinking all of them are the same when actually they're not
Your D3 is like my SGS II (My wife has a SGS III Mini) It has a dedicated system storage, then (USB) internal storage and also expandable external storage, am I right?
See this scr from my phone:
SGS III Mini has only one option available instead system and internal. It's all in one, thus you get something like this (MiscroSD is a secondary storage, and can be used as as internal memory on your D3, but not as a data partition on your D3, with an addition S III Mini can store huge potions of files/game/apk data on that one - like with huge games from the store - like your D3 is storing on SD and not EXT SD. IMHO - this is the way it should be):
and it's that proclamed 8Gb on S III Mini, or better said - what it has left in real time conditions of internal system memory so you simply have to accept the fact you can push it to that limit Simply means you have that memory to do whatever you want with it - be it apps/games or media :good:
See this scr from SGS III Mini compared to my SGS II if in need for more :

My internal memory is really limited. I saw (and still see) only 1GB available, my SD card files were also all deleted. I opted to change roms, and after a fresh install (wipe data, cache, dalvik) of this rom problem still persists. Only things i've installed on here are Gapps, Dropbox, CF.Lumen and Facebook+Messenger. Current internal memory usage is shown here. The rom i was using before is this AOKP. I figured this would be the best option i had for asking what's causing it. Help would be much appreciated
EDIT : suddenly now I can install apps from the play store, while I couldn't yesterday. Dunno if it changes anything, but here's hoping.
EDIT2: after wiping everything with TWRP the memory returned to normal - cyanogen recovery didn't help, neither did cwm. So, TWRP wins, and i might start using it finally

Basically, you can do two things.
Use an app like sd maid to clear your cache or increase your internal memory by using an app like link2sd.
You can also use titaniumback (or any other app) to move your apps to sdcard.
Link2sd /titanium would require root to work
Basically, all app build up cache over time which can fill your internal memory. clearing it up regularly should help .

(LATE, but it happened again)
This time it happened while transferring files via USB connection - it stopped working for a second, and then device reappeared, with SD card empty, internal memory empty and only showing 2,5 gigs clear - gonna report after clearing dalvik tho. As for normal cache - it's not a problem, i'm starting to suspect faulty hardware - it now limits my maximum internal storage capacity to ~4,3 Gb, according to Total Commander. Besides, i'm using sd maid every week, so it's not like im not taking proper care of my device.... It starts annoying me, i might need a new phone soon - if i start losing ~20 gigs of data every 3 months (backups are backups, but that's another thing) from my phone, and then have to re-install NEW systems every time it f***s up, it's too much hustle - especially that God only knows what causes that, and what fixes it
Screens explaining this:
Total Commander right after wipe (only ext-sd had some files recovered)

Only 4,3 gigs, right after showing 11,7 max
As my problem came back, i'd appreciate any help - this time not in a form of "clear your cache" as that clearly is not the reason why it happens on different ROMs after a clean install(first on KitKat, then on CM12 - both from _infected) on otherwise stock Yuga.
EDIT1: Before clearing Dalvik (as i forgot cm recovery can't do that) i checked apps - one was using 6 gigs of space, so i deleted data - it then showed 8.1 gigs of space BUT the 'size' in properties changed to... 7,5 Mb. That confuses me, gonna start testing more as much as i can before i will be left without internet for around a month.
I have TWRP recovery and went to Format my phone through TWRP.
After formatting it says in Windows Explorer 50.5 GB free of 53.6 GB.
When I click into the phone in Explorer there are not files and nothing shows up. Is this normal for internal Storage for the phone after a clean wipe?

Yes this is for the 64GB version.
Here is what file manager is saying, after I have setup the phone.

The 6GB of 'other' can't be found when browsing the phone.

OP: Did you format it f2fs or ext4? There's approx a ~5 G difference. F2fs leaves less than ext4.. (well, it's faster too for writes, so .. I think well worth it).
It's ok to show that way if you have data on f2fs [emoji4]

Man that Daft Punk logo is epic!
If you're feeling bold you can do some trial and error and allocate your own partition space. But by default you are not going to get all 64gb of the 64gb advertised. Disk space is quite a finicky thing where some storage devices are made better than others. Mine for instance with all my stuff installed with FreedomOS i have 57GB on my phone usable. I don't really do pictures though and hardly have many apps. Its just how technology is. I wouldnt really suggest any manual allocations to specific partitions because you could choke the phone causing either a boot-loop issue or a full bricking of your device. If you need more space you can hop down to best buy and purchase a smartphone external hard drive. Believe it or not phones can actually recognize flash drives and send files to them independently.
i have just formatted my storage in twrp and changed it to EXT4 and to me also its showing 50GB free of 53.6
Seem like some space are reserved for driver image drive which are usually shown up during connecting a PC.
This happened to me when I was changing filesystem (f2fs -> ext4 , and/or ext4 -> f2fs). I would connect my phone to my pc and it would show completely empty storage with around 50gigs free and without any of the usual android system folders. I ignored it and simply went ahead with rom installation from twrp and there were no problems.
Yes, it is normal after you switch /data filesystem
