[Q] Problem with paid apps with Apps2SD

Hello!
I have used Apps2SD Script included with G.O.T Recovery to partition and set up Apps2SD on my Milestone. Upon reboot everything works fine except that I can't launch two paid apps, namely: Got To Do and MountUSB. They were installed from Market but in place of the icon and name I get default icon (Droid's head on white background) and com.slamjibe.... and upon launching it I get FC. Can anyone help me?

contact the developper of these apps ask them support for apps2sd , many dev havent updated there apps for it ...

Hmm, I'm having this problem as well with apps not installing correctly.

Which Apps2SD option did you guys use from the G.O.T. menu? I am using the "Symlink Edition" and it is working fine so far.

hi dsixda, I used just the plain and simple App2SD install I couldn't find a clear explination of the differences between just app2sd and the symlink version, if you have the chance, of if you are willing to could you please try to install Horoscope and Tarot by horoscope.com I know bad example app but its one that I remember off the top of my head. (GF just wont get off my tip about this one....)

Yeah that horoscope app runs fine for me! Basically the "symlink edition" of Apps2SD just changes the location of the /data/app and /data/app-private folders to the EXT2 partition on the SD card.

Just do a Titanium Backup of all your current data, do a Nandroid backup, then reflash the ROM without apps2sd.
Then, restore with Titanium, make sure all your apps are on your device, and then finally apply the symlink edition of Apps2sd... It will move them all.

Kk so instead of doing a titanium back up, I did a full wipe, replashed, re nandroid'ed, re formatted my sd card, and installed the syslink or symlink app2sd and everything works perfectly now
Thanks you guys

Hi, I had also root my phone and did a nandroid backup with GOT open recovery, and i install app2sd hack on the symlink edition, how do i know that it had been sucessfully installed on my sd?

Check the available memory in the Settings menu, it should be higher now. Or just use adb, go into /data and do an "ls -l". The app folder should point to another folder. Also, in Root Explorer the app folder should now show the size remaining proportional to your ext2 partition.
I have actually modified an existing script so that now even the /data/dalvik-cache is moved to sd. I have freed up over 30MB more now. I can attach it later.

Apps2SD script
Here's a script that takes your apps to the SD card, and also links the /data/dalvik-cache there. With a newly flashed Milestone you should see at least 190MB free.
Just unzip this under /sdcard/OpenRecovey/scripts. Launch it from OpenRecovery, using the menu option Miscellaneous-->Run script-->install_apps2sh.sh..
NOTE: Make sure your /system/bin/mot_boot_mode is either the stock one or the one that GOT's OpenRecovery added. Otherwise the script will not work.
My script is based on another APPS2SD script, but I changed it so that it doesn't overwrite the modified mot_boot_mode file that GOT's OpenRecovery had added when you do overclocking, memhack, etc. (if it's not there then it will add it).

Hi , thanks for the response, just to clarify, after rooting with got's open recovery and flashed v2a roms, i splited my sd card thru the got's open recovery program and install the symlik edition of app2sd, indeed my memory from 16x became 194, but when i install some program, some space were taken up i think, it appear to be 189 now, i installed launcherpro and a few stuff, so i can assume that my app2sd is working and it is just because some program cant support to install to sd right? Sorry for my bad english.

It's probably because of the stuff stored under /data/data (application data, not the apps themselves). I have the same issue too. You can try to make a symlink to move them your sd card, but it actually slows down your apps when u run them, even with a high-speed / Class 6 SD card.

NO.... It's application DATA that's taking up space, not the apps themselves. Not much you can do about it. It's normal. The symlink method would have moved your apps to the SD card automatically.

[Q] More apps in system partition

Hi,
on Gingerbread/CM7, is there a way to put more apps to the /system partition? I am always low on space for apps, even though i have moved almost all my apps to sd using the A2SD function. Currently, only market and rommanager are on /system, i would like to move some more gapps to /system if possiblr.
PS. DT apps2sd is no option for me since it keeps on crashing my nexus one.
Thanks!

Use Root Explorer from the market and move the .APK's to /system/app. Other alternative is to use the premium version of Titanium Backup and use the option to "integrate update into ROM."

i just finally switched to yesterday's CM7 nightly, and with moving all my apps to the SD card with just the standard (but improved via gingerbread) a2sd method, i now have 130MB free space with 81 apps installed. i wonder if the new release puts some things on system partition automatically that i dont know about.

Thanks, I think the 130MB is your free space on the sd-card? Isn't 130MB about the total space available for apps?

Thanks, Root explorer does the trick! Isn't Titanium's "integrate update into ROM" only available for apps that are already in the system dir?

Sorry, yes. But this a handy feature because even though you may have a app stored within \system\app, if you install a market update, the update will go to \data\app. You would then need to manually move the update to \system\app and replace the old .apk file. If you don't, then the app is stored in 2 places and is an inefficient use of memory.

No that is my internal free space. I just moved all apps to the card with the standard froyo method.

So I can just manually move apps with root explorer to free up space? I'll give it a shot.

Sorry I have 110 free, not 130. I just checked.

Dumb question, once I move the app It no longer opens cause it has moved. How exactly do I handle this? I tried the market, vending, for example.
Never mind, change permissions then reboot solved it. BTW strangely before you reboot the free space actually goes in the opposite direction showing less free space after the move, till a reboot.

Glad it worked for you Roger. Personally, I have never had to change the permissions, but just needed to make sure I renamed the update exactly the same as was in system, reboot and enjoy.

Seems to be working well. I'm still confused how I have so much free space. It says 114mb free right now with 81 apps installed. Granted they are just regular sized apps, nothing huge.

Need help asap!!!

Yes I tried. I doesn't show sd-ext file. I'm from cm7.2 and I go back to stock because cm giving me a lot of problem like not receiving any SMS.when inwas on cm it shows me SD-ext but now It doesn't. I'm trying to go to andro-I'd v3.3.1

after installing the script it may show /sd-ext also some scripts mount it in /data/sd-ext
so be sure check there also

I don't quite understand what script are you talking about. Is it the one in the CWM. Anyway can I ask how to move app or dalvik cache to SD-ext? I tried moving apps from data/app to sd-ext/app/ and all my apps doesnt work? I think I need the S2E app but I don't think andro-Id can download it. I checked yagya's blog and it says I got to flash it in CWM and someone says that it's not working. Is there other ways to move it?

as you are a beginner you should use link2sd app it will automatically install script and after a reboot you will be able to move the apps to that partition
or read more about dark tremor a2sd script

what did u select in CWM ext3 or ext4 ???

It did not ask me to select anything. It just say 100+mb 200+mb and others. And i already selected ext4 and i linked all the apps i want but it still doesn't free space at the internal memory. Is this how im suppos to move the apps?
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda premium

and what you selected you should have selected atleast 1gb ext4 space

I selected 100mb cause my sdcard space is only 2gb
And i say this sdext2 file in my data/
So should i choose ext2 on link2sd?
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda premium

you should buy a bigger sdcard 100 MB space is like nothing even the internal memory is around 178 MB
and it should not be sd-ext 2 it should be 3 or 4

[Q] how can I make more free space in /system

Hi,
I'm with AOKP rom M6, my /system folder is full (I have only 12kb free).
Is there any way to make it bigger?
Thanks.

Anyone?

all you can do is to uninstall some apps that u dont use, like life wallpapers, and any other apps that u dont use, u can use titanium backup for this.

This is certainly the safest way to do it. You can also use any root explorer (like, for example, rootexplorer) and start deleting things. Not any thing, mind you. Just apps, fonts or media files in their respective folders. And it's very risky if you don't know what you're deleting.
Also, you can move system apps to the sdcard by making them user apps (with Titanium or a similar tool). However, most system apps don't work correctly if you convert them to user apps, so be careful with this too.

What the people above me are saying: you can't just increase the space that will be available in /system from, let's say 250mb to 500mb. You will have to mess with your phone's partitioning, which can be done, but is fairly risky business. This goes for any repartitioning, not just on android, but also on Windows, Mac. An easier way would be to free up space by deleting anything neccesary in /system.
For instance, delete the .apk files from apps you don't ever use (and know what they're for! Don't ever delete anything of which you don't know what it is!) in /system/app.
And see what's in /system/media - that could save some space as well. Just don't touch /system/lib!
And finally, you could also get Titanium Backup Pro to convert system apps to user apps, this will free up some space as well. By doing all this, I recently managed to free up about 30mb on my /system.

You can move some apps to SD card. Go to system -> applications -> choose application -> move to SD card

Dont think you can move system apps to sd card. he's talking about /system not /data

sometime the odex files are left even after the app is uninstalled and its does'nt allow to reinstall the same app giving the insufficient storage space error so deleting odex files of uninstalled apps will fix that issue.

TB is titanium backup app (search play store). try uninstalling that app and delete leftover files including odex file and reinstall the app from market.
