need help with apps2sd on Fresh rom

I just installed the latest version of the fresh Rom. The page for the rom says it will automagically use apps2sd If The card is formatted properly. I use the recovery rom (1.52) to format the card, with a 32mb swap and 512mb ext. But, iapps2sd doesn't seem to be working. I have rbooted, and I have also used the recovery Rom to " move apps and dalv to SD", but the apps are still taking up the phones internal memory.
Is there something I'm missing to activate apps2sd, or move the apps over?
Thanks

http://geekfor.me/faq/apps2sd/

I used the link, and got the response that it working. So why then are the apps still taking up the phone memory? Is this the usual response? What happens when it fills up? Is there anything left for me to do?

Everytime you install or run things, internall memeory is still used for data and other items that are not the APK file. What is the memory amount you show as free? A2SD only moves APK's to the SD. Additionally you can move the dalvik-cache there as well, but internal memory still gets used by app data, widget data, etc.. You might have a bunch of widgets storing lots of data.

Sorry to bring up an old thread...
I gotta say that I think there is something wrong with the version of Apps2SD on the Fresh ROM - or something isn't configured correctly.
I get the same issue (as do many others from the digging I have done) - and I KNOW that the programs I have installed aren't using up THAT much memory.
When I switch to any other ROM using A2SD - with all the same programs installed and no changes in the partitioning - I magically have 140 MB free of internal memory.
Any thoughts?

[Q] Phone Doesnt Launch

Hi there.
Well, i wanted to install apps2sd on my Xperia X8, so i followed the guide, i made a backup of the SD card, format it, made the partition, restore the data, and include the .zip install of the apps2sd.
I turned on my phone, run Xrecovery, install the custom zip, and an error ocurred (maybe related to that xt2 or xt3 thing). So i rebooted my phone with the Xrecovery and now its frozen at the launch screen, not the Sony Ericsson one, the one that comes after, that would be the one of my actual ROM.
Im using FroyoBread v022 of doixanh.
Goodbye!

You already have app2sd... its froyo.

do a full wipe and see if the phone works.
the phone need to copy the data/app/ files to the SD card ext partition when first boot after active the app2ext function, if you installed lots of apps it should take 2 or 3 minutes, even 5 minutes.
recommend to use the ext2 format, 500MB should be enough.

Well, i had to re-install the ROM, and after that, do a full wipe, now the phone is working again.
Now, as they said, froyo already has apps2sd, what should i do? download the application for the market and use it?

Go to Settings/Applications/Manage Applications then just select the app you want to move and the option to move to sd is there.
There are plenty of apps available that will monitor your apps and notify you if it possible to move it, they will also scan your device and let you know which apps you have that can be moved, browse through the market and find the best to suit your needs. You dont need to get any additional apps, it is only a suggestion.

Low on Internal memory

I never used a smartphone before and now here i am with a small basic phone trying to figure out how things can be done...but...
I hardly can install 6-7apps in this phone..even though i install the file in SD card it still takes 2-4mb space from internal..
and mine is not rooted but i tried rooting before and it did nothing may be because i really dont know what to be done.
Anyways i just want to know is there anyway i can add few more apps like atleast 10apps in this phone?? i do have few preinstalled apps..and it cant be moved i know but things like GO apps i cant move it to SD..but my friends ACE can n i have no clue why i cant????? it neva show move to SD in mine but in his phone it does..can anybody help me in installing few more apps ..in this thing...i will be so greatful if u can and Thanks in advance.
for your info apps i have downloaded as if now:

you need a ext4 partition on your sd card and an app which enables you moving apps to sd like "link2sd", "s2e" or similar. And you need to root your phone.
Look a bit around in the ace section here on xda and youll find everything you need

addition : if you a user-type that like to remove your sdcard, better to use link2sd instead of any type extended-internal memory

you must create ext3 or ext4 primary partition on your sdcard. to create partition, install mini tool partition wizard to your pc. then you can use link2sd to link dalvik caches to your sdcard. or, if you use cm7 as your rom, you can install s2e. to remove system apps, use link2sd

Are you linking the apk, dex and lib files or just installing (moving) apps to sd? You should create link to free up your internal space.
Take it from my experience. I used stocklite for almost 5 months with link2sd. Linked all apps except for those with widgets or that i needed at boot left on internal. 80 apps, 50 mb free on internal.
If you change to cyanogenmod you won't have more internal space, same space, different rom. When you do the required wipes with cwm (which you should to install cyano roms) it will format and erase the partition. You'll still have your partitioned sd card, but all info in that partition will be gone.

I installed Cyno Mod 7 ROM and it works just fine and i have partitioned again and everything is fine now..but i backuped my stocklite and i dont have the original ROM which i used even before rooting how to get that 'the real one which i had when i bought the phone?' if i have that one ..i can change it to anytime when i want..

Carrier specific roms are harder to find than free roms. Go to sammobile and check if they have the rom that came with your phone.
The stock roms are all installed through your computer with odin and your phone in download mode.

[Q] htc salsa root not woking

i restarted my rooted htc salsa and the phone showed a low internal memory warning. I restated it again and it still showed the same warning and also, my superuser , link2sd , titanium backup , play store icons are not there. What do I do?

You need to elaborate more. You rooted your device and restarted it and got a low memory warning xcan mean anything. What rom is it? I assume stock. How did you root it? What else have you done ie have you done a recovery. Unlocked it etc. Post up Everything up you Have done in what order you did it.
I can help you far more with this info.

Thanks for the reply. I am a complete noob , so bear with me . I unlocked bootloader through the info provided at htcdev.com and then followed the tutorial on xda on how to root with s-on. I am using the stock rom and have installed CWM recovery. I have around 60 applications installed and whenever I reboot , my phone takes a lot of time to 'show' all the applications . but, today ,when I rebooted , my phone stopped showing play store, superuser,link2sd etc icons and also showed that the memory is too low ,even though I have linked all the apps to sd . Why is this happening?

ok im assuming you haven't made and ext3 partition on your sd card.
have you linked the apps via link2sd? if so which ones. sounds to me like the whole lots just crashed. have you backed anything up? im assuming you may have by using titanium backup.
if Google play and superuser have gone then its a system fault unless you moved them to the sd card in which case your sd card has gone corrupt. what internal setup are you using.
internal memory, what is it and how have or are you using it and what with.
sd card setup. similar to previous question but if using it with link2sd, how?

Yes I'd linked the apps via link2sd. all the user apps and some of the system apps , including PlayStore . Yes , I backed up using Titanium Backup :silly:
And I partitioned my card using CWM recovery v5.0.2.6 .. I don't know what ext it has made.
And I don't understand what you mean by internal setup and the last two points. Please bear with me , I'm a complete beginner .

lol you moved a system app to the sd card. your sd card has failed and removed the apps you moved across. recovery won't make and ext partition, you have to.
biggest no no is moving system apps to the sd or linking them.
example of my setup.
i use a mixture of different roms to suit my needs. currently CM7/my own depending on what im doing.
my sd card has a ext3 partition of 1gb on there. when we flash our roms we use various data2sd scripts, most work across the roms range some don't. this creates a stable non movable area without the need to link the apps to the sd thus creating a 1.15gb internal memory area.y
also means no moving of apps required as the internal memory is so large now.
what you have done is a common error, i did it when i first started on the salsa so don't be disheartened lol.
you can do a few things to correct this error.
backup you data and reset the rom in recovery mode, this will only clear the things that have been done now inc majority of root. you can try and reflash the root file giving back superuser again. not 100% this will work mind.
to get playstore back you can flash a package called gapps. listed in this area, check android development or use search.
most users now flash another rom, these always include superuser and most root applications required and have the ability to give increased internal memory.
check out these threads, these will give the basics to what you require.

Hey guys,
I recently rooted my s3 mini to JB 4.1.2 by faria and i was wondering why i cant install any more apps as my ram is used up by all my apps. is there a way to clear/wipe all this data and start from scratch installations or any way i can move this huge game files in android/obb to another location in my sdcard to save space for app installations on my phone memory.
also, i have tried directory bind,app2sd, lind2sd and gl to sd(root) none of them seems to be installing or working for me as i still face the prob with installation of the same app.
kindly help.

Remove a LOT of your apps. That should fix the storage problem until you get the script into /data.

try changing default install location. possible with normal device options, dont remember where. or else use app2sd to change it.
although i have the same error, when trying to install anything on extsdcard (with enough room on it), with faria rom v5.1.
with leatherface v2 i didnt have the problem if i remember correct.
update:
i still have the problem too.
wiped dalvik, factory reset multiple times, cleaned odin files, although faria rom is also using odex?
phone works fine, but i only have 4,5gb max internal (fused internal and sdcard).
and i cant install anything to external. i selected the options *install to: autoselect by android, internal, or external.
i tried it with more then one app, like rom toolbox pro.
i also noticed that chaning it it one app, correctly alters it in another.
i asked this in q&a, and i read what i can searching the whole forum. still i wuold really like to know:
-is 4,5 gb max combined/fused is normal for s3 mini +faria rom)?
-is it normal to have .obb partition completely empty, even having installed multipple apps?
its 402mb, totally free.
And i have other partitions also 402 mb, totally free.
-/cache partitions remains at 14mb, whatever happends, even after changing usage of cache heavier and lighter.
-cant install anything on extsdcard.
-/mnt/sdcard shows in that directory, with root explorer, as linked to sdcard0.
same in root:/sdcard (not sdcard0!) linked to -> sdcard0
but it has no apps in it. and only some folders.
?i dont know if i am correct in assuming that "->" symbol in root explorer means: linked to.

no that is not what i mean exactly.
i do use link2sd now, to use my extsd 2nd partition. but it gives an error: installl_failed_insufficent storage.
even when i put it on auto.
when pressing create link, i get: i/o error.
what do you have selected to auto move to 2nd partition?
my primary question, has to do with the fused internal+sdcard phone memory (so not extsdcard), of faria firmware.
Phone sees the fused internal as,... internal memory.
and the phone sees my extsdcard as external sdcard.
i presumed the reason for this is to be able to install apps on ext sd too, by default. (so without link2sd or others).
because the problem as i see it is:
now i have less phone storage.
i still cannot install to external sd card.
i would really like to know
- what should be the benefits of this fused memory? why did faria do this?
- beacause now i have less or same memory, and no benefits.
-what i have to change in system mount, or fuse, to get back original non-fused.
- And/Or, how i can enable extsdcard to install to it too.
thanks

Have you tried with an ext4 partition on your external sd, for link2sd? I've read somewhere that it worked.
Otherwise Directorybind do work. I've binded the whole Android folder without any problems at all :good:

Hey guys,
I recently rooted my s3 mini to JB 4.1.2 by faria and i was wondering why i cant install any more apps as my ram is used up by all my apps. is there a way to clear/wipe all this data and start from scratch installations or any way i can move this huge game files in android/obb to another location in my sdcard to save space for app installations on my phone memory.
also, i have tried directory bind,app2sd, lind2sd and gl to sd(root) none of them seems to be installing or working for me as i still face the prob with installation of the same app.
kindly help.

hi,
actually i do also had a the same problem with my cell phone as of yours... so i just wanna know if we had comeout with those problem.... please suggest me a solution too if you had solved those problem.
please do help...

found a solution (maybe?)
I personally had the same problem right after flashing a new rom on my i9100. I read through the script amd it was quite literally just unmounting and mounting the sd card again. I wasn't sure how it could possibly be a simple matter of mounting the sd card but it worked so I'm okay with that.
If you're on 4.1.2 then you can probably manually unmount and mount the sd card by going into system settings, storage and scroll down to sd card for unmount. It'll take a short while to unmount and another to mount again and check for errors. Not sure if you have to do this will ever boot but it beats not ever installing anything, right?
