Question about app 2ext

I have Froyomod v.2.70 on my milestone and an ext3 partition. A part of the apps moves to the ext partition, but I thought that everything would move there. I cant see the ext partition in settings. I thought ext partition would be an extension of nand. Do I have to do something before this works?

apps2ext works out of the box on FroyoMOD. I am not sure about ext3, but it works perfectly with ext2. All your data apps should move to the ext partition. You cannot access your ext partition information from within the phone.
You need to use a pc for that.
Edit : You can also check your /sd-ext folder using root explorer.

I can find the apks in data/app and in /sd-ext/app, is this usual?

Not in data/app, check in root folder under sd-ext.

The apps are in /data/app and in /sd-ext/app. If I delete an app in /data/app its also deleted in /sd-ext/app.

Since app2ext was successfully enabled on the Rom,..does it still need "moving app to sd" on CM's menu appliction setting?

No need. Apps2sd is very different from apps2ext.

I have only 86mb data storage left. This means not everything moved to ext.

as i remember, froyomod keep cache

In the description of FroyoMod it is said, that dalvik moves to ext. But i cant find dalvik-cache in sd-ext via root-explorer. My internal storage is nearly full.
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App

As far as I am aware, app2ext only moves your apps (.apk) to the ext2 partition. However, dalvik cache and data from apps still is on the internal storage. It means your data/data folder cannot be moved to the ext2 partition. That's why you still have little space left even if your apps are not on the phone.

Hi all,
so is there any way to move dalvik cache to ext2 on FroyoMOD?
i'm now using FroyoMOD 2.8, everything works great except my internal storage is almost full because of dalvik cache.
thanks for your help.

Problem downloading games with thriller 1.0.5

So I did a fresh install of v1.0.5 and everything is great except when I try to download large games from the market it says I have insufficient space, but I have over 3gbs left. Not sure why this is happening. Anyone else having this issue? Thanks
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium

Apps are saved to the System Memory, not Phone Memory.
Anyways, just reboot into Recovery and wipe cache.

Ok so I cleared the cache and it has worked so far. Thanks for the help.
Edit* only worked for one game
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium

I have over 650mb left in system memory and its says I have insufficient space whenever I try to download any game around 40mb. I cleared the cache and it worked for one game. Not sure what else to try.
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium

It's because the Market downloads apps to the cache partition before installing them. Our cache partition is fifty something megabytes with just over 40 MB free usually.

That makes sense. Thanks for the help. Is there a quick way to clear the cache?

That's strange, I only have 449 MB in System Memory and I can download games around/over 40MB. The only thing I could suggest would be to wipe the cache again. Are you on stock, btw?

The easiest (and only) way I know of is going into recovery.

I'm running thriller 1.0.5 rom. It let me download a game after I left work but now it says I have insufficient space again when I try to download another. I even did a second wipe and fresh install of rom this morning. Maybe it just takes a little before the cache clears.

Didn't I already explain what's going on? And it has nothing to do with my ROM. The same behavior is exhibited on the stock ROM. I will hack the Market to remove the app size limit soon.

The rom is awesome so far. Sorry for being a noob this is my first android. I appreciate the explanation and the work you put into the rom.
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium

Ok, I have found a temporary solution. I'm on a different Rom, but it should work for Thriller too.
1. Boot into CWM
2. Wipe Data/Cache
3. (Re)Install Thriller. (Not sure if needed, but I did it just to be on the safe side)
4. Download and install an app called Freespace.
5. Run Freespace.
6. Look at the Cache category and you should see this:
Size: 61MB
Used: 7MB
Free: 54MB
7. Now download the app you want that is over 40MB (note: your limit is 54MB).
8. The app will install and play fine (no FC like I was getting).
9. Go back to the Freespace app and click Cache. You will see that your Free cache is almost depleted and your Used is almost full.
9. Reboot your phone.
10. Your cache stats should have reset to how they originally were (check using the Freespace app).
11. Download the next app/game over 40MB and it will install fine.
Repeat this every time you want to install an app over 40MB.

[Q] Safe to format internal SD?

Hey guys, after having my phone for coming up on 2 years, my Internal SD has been filled with tons of garbage apps that I've tried, uninstalled, and a bunch of other stuff. I was wondering - what is the best procedure for formatting this to clean it up a little? If I copy my Titanium Backup folder to my PC (some savegames i want on there ) am I pretty much safe to just format it? Is there anything I should know?

Can anybody offer me any information on this

I also need to knw, if its safe to format Internal SD.
Since im on ICS, i have noticed many of my Games (Gameloft) are not working properly and continuously crashing, previously i was on GB, I think its because of the data stored(game data) or any thing else in there. Agn, is it safe to format Internal SD, that is approx 6gb. ?
If Yes, then what items are to be made backup?

You can format your internal sd card no problem. Personally I like to copy everything off the internal sd card onto my pc first. Once this data is safe I delete it off the phone. Restart in recovery, format the internal sd card & do a factory reset, clear cache and dalvick cache.
Now phone is like new...

Stop spouting nonsense. The internal SD is separate from system.
Knowledge is Power. Guard it well.

Even formatting on a computer should not affect System partition. Not unless if you are using ADB commands to specifically format the internal SD. That's a LOT of extra effort.

I haven't tried this, but I'm assuming Snapper's correct on this subject. The PC will only mount the /sdcard partition, which you should be able to wipe without losing any of your /system data.

The reason I mention tb is it has a market link which often affects downloads from play store. So if you've restored using tb, this may be why you're unable to download from play store

Simple question and you've probably checked -
But under storage what shows as used / free?
For both USB and SD card?

Seems you've a s**tload of stuff on the internal SD ....
Possibly move some of the pics/movies/music to the External SD and see if you get the same issue...
Given that the OS will need at least some space to run 212Mb seems awfully low for your internal SD..
Just for reference - I've got
Internal Storage: 1.97Gb
Free: 1.38Gb
USB Storage:
- Total: 11.08GBl
- Free: 9.6GB
And my External card is more or less empty since last nights return to 'Virgin' system...
So that is:
SD Card:
- Total: 7.28GB
- Free: 5.76GB
Just a thought....

No don't even try it.
You're wasting your time. I had the same issue.
I deleted some apps, transferred them to sdcard, tried airplane-cold-reboot, wiped all caches, restored fixes, reflashed kernel... everything failed.
If you're in the same position as I was, then backup whatever you can.
Do a factory reset from the Settings (so everything in internal memory gets wiped).
Then wipe all cache, re-flash your rom, then kernel, fix permissions... and reboot.
Restore all your stuff, and it will magically be fixed !
(its because of accumulating bad partitions in your internal sdcard, combined with kernel misunderstandings, it makes it impervious to re-write in some sectors)

[Q] Internal Storage Issues

Hi Guys,\
I am looking for your advice on some internal storage issues on my Samsung Galaxy Note 1 (N7000). i have been using mainly cyanogen rom 10 and Super Nexus Rom.
I keep getting warnings my internal storage (not the internal or external SD card) is nearly full. Apps won't install or update.
If i look at settings/storage/internal storage it says total space 1,97 GB. First it starts out grey and the bar is nearly full. Than it calculates and says there is 192 MB available, 631 mb Apps (app data & media content) installed and 7,71 mb cached data.
I am not an mathetmaticien, but 192 mb + 631 mb + 7,7mb adds up to 830,7 MB. Where is the other 1,166.7 GB gone???? What is eating my internal storage and how can clean this up?
I have tried wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wiped app data, used apps2sd, i have tried loads of cleaning apps. the only that works is a full factory reset. And after a couple of weeks the internal storage fills up again with ghost data... Any advice here??

Try to use Forever Gone, it fills the memory with .blank files, then it erases all those files and free up space. Hope it helps you with that issue.
If not, consider use another rom , like Asylum Rom, it's CM 10.1 and it simply rocks on my Note with no issues at all.
Good Luck!

thanks for the help,
But Gone Forever only cleans up the "internal SD card" Not the internal storage. I have 9 GB free on my Internal SD card, so thats not the issue. The issue is about the 2GB internal storage.
