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

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?

It works fine for me. Just follow the instructions on link provided above by flipz

Don't forget to upgrade ext2 to ext3

Low Memory Should I Root?

I finally hit low memory on my N1 with only 20mb left I already moved all the apps to SD and clean cache and history. Now the question is does rooting solve this problem and how much more memory do you get ? (depending on the rom) Is there any solution without having to root the device? Thanks

Rooting by itself won't give you anything. You need to root and install A2SD or any other similar program/app, including a kernel that supports it and repartitioning SD card - and only then you'll get more space.

simple fix

i had this prob back in the day, what you got to do is go to apps2sd see which apps are unmovable then search for hacked modded versions which allow moving to sd. most updated versions of software allow this. i know a web site where u can get loads of modded apps2sd apps but am not sure if am aloud to post it here

Can you DM the links thanks !

Install Link2sd, you choose where you want your apps to go. Nice, intuitive interface

This (as all other "true" A2SD utilities) will still require repartitioning SD card.

Yes it requires repartitioning.

After a long night of reading and having trouble on the command line I finally rooted my phone to CM7 2.3.3. I finally have more space and I can move apps like adobe flash to SD thanks guys. After playing with CM 7.0.3 I notice the piture quality taken with the camera are just horrible is there any fix for that?

Problem with space on MIUI 1.9.2

Hi guys,
i just put on my phone latest version of MIUI: 1.9.2
It's the first time i try MIUI rom. Anyway...the problem is that after some apps installed the system give me an error reporting "not enough space to install the app".
I have obviusly lot of free space (about 1.7 gb on dedicated partition).
Is it just a problem of mine or is it common?
How can i resolve?
Thanks a lot in advance for help.

I'm getting the exact same issue on a Desire, just installed MIUI 1.9.2 for first the time tonight too.
Despite plenty of space on internal, a2sd+ and sd card I get the message when trying to move apps both onto and off the SD card, some do work but a few have gone one way and won't go back.

Maybe i am wrong, but as i understood 1.9.2 it's a stable, not a weekly. I think this is a very hard bug for a stable rom. So i was thinking i have mistaken something... dunno, waiting for other reports.

Sorted, I'd forgotten about shifting the dalvik cache from internal to SD card...
In the end this was fixed by reformatting the ext partition on my sd card with Rom Manager, 512Mb ext & 0Mb swap (wipes whole SD card so be sure to backup before doing this!). Then via Terminal Emulator I reinstalled a2sd then moved the dalvik cache to the sd card, been on GV rom for so long I'd forgotten about this step when I last switched roms. Afterwards I've now got 135Mb internal space free and I'm now restoring about 100 apps, haven't tried moving to SD card and back yet but am hopeful now...
I'd post a link for you but don't have the 8 post required to be allowed to do so yet but if you google 'miuiandroid forums running out of space' it's currently the top result.
Hope it works out for you too...!

After few time the device begun with FC of every application.
So i've done a wipe chache/dalvik cache/factory restore (ididn't do it at first installation). For now no problems about space and FC.
Anyway thanks for help.

Low in internal memory ..wait what??

hi all .. i use link2sd to link all my apps to my sd card..this should give me alot of space ...i used to use lewa rom and i have 2xx apps and themes but when i switch to sgs2 rom i decided to delete som apps i hardly use / themes and now there is about 120apps but then when i start to download some games my memory went to 2mb only ?? is this bug ?

this happens to me when i change from lewa to old cm7 fat. ext4 seems lost. and i need to transfers all files to sd using app2sd manually. s2e didnt work.

it was ok now after i changed to stock lite ..i tink it;s a bug

Used link2sd long time on stock rom, very good tool but it seems not work very good with titanium. It works, but after recovering all apps i had very little memory, but all apps are on sd-ext. I moved one after the other to sd, back to phone and then 2 sd.ext, that works and i got much more space. Dont know why, but this procedure was very hard, because of less rom space moving 10 apps to phone, moving to ext and so on.....
But now im using cm7-FAT and s2e, moved dalvic, apps, data and cache to sd, so i have 171! MB free space on phone. No need to have so much space on phone, but whats the best: Phone ice noticeable faster than before, seems that my sandisk class4 sdcard is faster than phone memory, i wondered, but it is so, feels really faster ;-)
regards

I have never been able to set up Link2SD perfectly. In addition, Link2SD makes soft link which makes internal memory little bit usable though. Also, It can not be configured to be on external storage for widget or themes. I remember installing ~50 Apps I had just 60MBs free. But, with S2E I am boss! It serves all needs perefectly. A lot better than Link2SD.

As i said, link2sd works fine for me long time, the graphical interface is very good for managing where your apps should be.
All widgets and tools that never work with standard app2sd (on fat-sdpartition) work as they should do.
Problem is the lack of moving dalvic-cache and other data, so i had ~45MB free, with nearly 100 apps installed. Thats fine, but as i said before, after backing up its sometimes tricky to get all the apps on sd-ext again.
And after some time, phone gets fuller and fuller, i think because of cached data or somewhat.
So with s2e (works on cm7, on stock darktremor a2sd will do nearly the same...) all data are on sd, wich is very good for me, as i said before, performance is better now.....
regards

s2e works Fine in all Cm7.x based roms.

for link2sd user, IMHO this is a very good tutorial [TUT]install apps as much as you can, DON'T WORRY ABOUT MEMORY!![reUPDATED][FAQ's]

I have s2e and successfully moved apps, dalvik, and cache to sd-ext.. but my data (/data/data) cannot be moved to sd-ext... can anyone help me with this? my sd card is RiData 16gb class 10 with 1gb ext3 partition...
edit: found my fix. i have to enable the advanced option in the settings... now i have 170mb free in internal! haha!
Download ALL the apps!

Haha. Found the problem as soon as I read the first line. Links2SD doesn't move everything to the SD card. Let me explain...
I switched to a stock based rom the other day and since S2E doesn't work for stock, I had to google something up and came back to Links2SD. I've used it before but I've had some problems with it. After I was restoring my 97 apps with titanium, not even half way through and it says my device is running out of memory. When I checked Links2SD, everything was on the SD card and yet the internal memory was getting taken up completely.
My fix? I said **** stock roms and went back to CM7 with S2E. It moves everything to the EXT partition as soon as you install it. I restored all of my 97 apps one after another WITH NO ISSUE AT ALL. Only problem I had is that I had to move some apps that use widgets back to internal because the widgets won't work installed on the SD.
Check out the guide on my signature. Cyanogenmod for life. Never again shall I go back to stock.

S2E FTW. I have faced problwm plenty of times what just superace explained. There isn't a useless reason I put that sentence about link2sd in my signature.

All Widgets work, if on internal storage, but with s2e sd-ext is like internal, partition is mounted at boot.
Widgets dont work, if they are on normal sd-space (mounted much later, i think), which is fat32.
I have 1024MB sd-ext and all apps on it, all work, even widgets or others who need to be on phonespace normally. And i think its impossible to move some of them to "real" internal space selectively, only link2sd can do this, or am i wrong?
However, a2sd or s2e seems to be the best solution, if you have very much apps, cause it moves nearly all data to sd...

@SuperAce609,
I'm completely agree with you. This is the only reason why I also haven't gone to stock ROMs like that SGSII by Rushabh. But, one thing you haven't got right about S2E is Widgets' memory location. With S2E, that partition is mounted as internal memory at the start up. All I am saying is, Widgets moved to sd-ext DO work perfectly. I know it, because I am a BIG Widget & themes fan. Have installed plenty of widgets and have 23 themes installed of CM7 theme chooser. Still 117MB internal memory is free. Here, Link2SD would have kept all those themes and widgets in internal memory while restoring via titanium.

@nihilista,
There is one option of saying "Advanced Mode" in S2E Settings. Never tried it myself. But, I suppose its may be for not moving apps, which should not be in external storage like Link2SD. But not Individually.

hey hi , i am on stock rom (2.3.6 ddkq8) does it support apps2sd....read that while u partition ur sd card..""if the rom supports apps2sd"".....(do these roms have to support such applications????) ......it will transfer the files to ext3......to clear internal memory (main problem in Galaxy ace).
2) after partition ...if i try to move apps to sd card from the fone's stock application manager...will it be transferd to the same EXT3?
3) diffrence btween link2sd and app2sd...do they perform the same task?
P.S.- i want to stay on this rom......please help me with this....as m a newbie...i dont have any clue as to how should i move apps.

Low on Space error always coming back!

A few months ago I flashed the ICS Slim rom onto my gf's Sgs 1 and then after about a month started having error message "Low on Space", "Phone storage space is getting low" and most apps would not run and just start crashing (Sorry ......... has stopped unexpectedly. Force Close. on attempt to launch.
So i checked the internal and sd memory and she still has well over a gb of memory available on both, i tried a simple reboot. I have even formatted, wiped cache, dalvik and even flashed cyanogenmod 7.2 gb onto it thinking it could be due to the partition of ICS which it still may well be.
Anyway after roughly a month on and the "Low on Space" error and all the force closing of apps is back.
Can anyone shed some light. How can i revert it all back to how it once was. Happy with Cyanogenmod but without these problems.
Thanks in advance

Hey man, try the datafix app by Zatta. The ROMs you've been running use a '/datadata' partition on the phone's faster oneNAND storage to store apps, because the larger 2GB that normally stores apps is slow and causes the lag you see on stock ROMs. But the datadata partition is only 170MB, so it fills up quickly (and you get those low storage notifications).
The datafix app installs a script which sorts it all out for you, and explains the details. Hopefully that'll work, if not then search for the actual script on xda, but you'll have to flash it using recovery. Hope this helps you out!
