If I create a partition on my SD, how can i use it as internal memory?
I tryed Darktremor Apps2SD, but the app didnt work. Then I tryed just installing s2e, but I actualy dont know how to work with it, and I'm not shure if it recognises the partition as internal storage...
I wonder if I can use like Link2Sd, and make the partition be recognised as internal storage, or if there is a simple way to work with s2e and meke it also recognise the sd partition as internal storage.
Can someone help me?
these things are just made to see secondary partition as internal memory and link2sd will also work

So i used to have all my apps on my ext filesystem on my sd card on my mytouch 3g 32B. Recently i wiped and upgraded to cyanogen mod 6.1 and also wiped ext filesystem. I used titanium backup to restore all my apps but they are on my internal phone storage now. Is there a way to move them all to my ext partition on my sd card without having to reinstall them all. also i dont want it on my fat partition i need them to be in the ext partition thank you!
Use a a2sd script? And terminal to move Them to ext

are you talking about firerats patch?
Yeah, but i dont know how it works on mt3g

but i thought a2sd moves only from the fat partition to ext? does it also go from internal phone storage to ext filesystem?
Apps2SD works by having your SD card patitioned into TWO filesystems. A normal FAT32 partition and a secondary ext partition. ext is just a filesystem, like FAT32, but it's the filesystem used by Android internally.
Apps2SD then runs a script on your phone which symbolically links the folder from your phone's internal storage where your apps are normally stored, to the ext partition on your SD card.
Android doesn't know that when it's installing it's apps to the internal phone storage, it's actually being stored on the SD card
in otherwords as LIL is saying. yes it moves apps from phone to sd card like the older roms did
Hello:
I've getting these low memory warnings everytime i update my apps. i've moved most of my apps to the SD.
My internal memory is 196MB, is this right?
i'm thinking when i flashed cm7, i might have assigned way too much ext memory. if thats the case, how do i re-partition my memory. i need to update my rom to version CM7.1
thanks,
oh yeah, and for some reason, my SD card total space is 3.03GB (but the factory SD card's memory i believe is 1.99GB)
If you're using CM7 why not use DT a2sd or S2E to move apps to the EXT section of the sd card?
If I read your post correctly, you partiton your sd card but you're moving apps to the FAT32 portion of the sd card.
If you use S2E or DT, you can move apps, and dalvik cache to the sd ext portion of the sd card (what these script does is make the phone think the sd-ext is part of your internal storage. This way apps with widgets, passcode can stil lwork like normal.

i understand, but is it right that my internal memory total space = 196MB?

Yes that is correct
Confirmed here too. 196 on non-rooted stock N1. That's all she has.
I'm currently using GingerCruzt 7.4
I saw Ext3.ko and Ext4.ko under /system/lib/modules/ i was wondering:
If i partition my 16GB SDcard to FAT32 and Ext3/4, would my internal memory increased like App2sd on Eclair does?
Or it's just gonna be wasted space?
Then i just repartitioned my sdcard(my sdcard was parttioned 12GB(data),1GB(Ext2),500mb(swap)) to 1GB(ext3) and the rest is FAT32 and nothing's happened, my internal memory remained 255 mb, is there any wrong steps i took?

Moving apps to SD (whatever partition) frees up internal memory space as apps are installed there by default. By freeing up internal storage, your phone gets somehow faster
does it means it's doesn't show up as internal memory, but does the same thing as Eclair App2sd?
You can see the app in 'app managemet' on SD tab. The app will work the same except for widgets won't show up.

With GC or most of custom roms, you have only to create an ext2/3/4, then system recognizes your ext partition and installs your new apps directly there.
Then you just have to normally install apps on phone, and they'll go "silently" in the ext partition of the sd .
You can check if it works by going in the /sd-ext by a file explorer and see if there are folders inside (they should be 4). If everything is correct, you should find your apps installed in /sd-ext/app.
Please note that of course your total internal memory space won't grow up.
Apps will be simply installed in the sd-ext, leaving your internal space free
i dont know if is a bug or what , but my app2sd work's without ext partition in my sd card, my apps go to .android_secure folder in my sd card, is that normal ?
Guys my biggest problem in my nexus one is my low internal storage space , now i heard something about resizing partioton , does this gives you more internal storage from your ex because i have a 32 gb external and i cant download applications ? thought i already have blackrose
Blackrose and its resizing utility are primarily for enhancing your system partition, due to huge size of some ROMs. Even if you make data partition bigger than stock, you wouldn't have "enough" storage for your apks.
So, you need to partition your sd card and run kind of a2sd script. You can also install S2E from market, easier way to a2sd, after sd card partition. Find how to partition your sd here:

In some Rom App2SD Script is already embedded and you just need to partition your SD using Recovery.
hi all!!
i have xperia sp 8 gb!! installing few app takes lot of space .. with the new feature in marshmallow (installed cm13)
where we can use sd card as internal memory and move app + whole data. however if we use that function the data is encrypted and we cant flash anything using twrp or even cant install the updates.
so i wanted to create a partition where 25-50% can be used as internal and rest as portable!!
i have tried to create partition using TWRP .. result failed.. nothing really happened ,, tried both ext3/ext4 and after reboot the sd card detected has to be used either as portable or internal
then i tries app2sd and link2sd both are again not able to create partition.
app2sd has option to create adoptable storage which it actually created and i could see 25% as internal and 75% as external however when i tried to move app it was just like move to sd card.. where app was moved to adoptable storage and data still remains in internal memory!!
anyone can please help... in short i want to use my sd card both as internal and external storage!!
internal : to move big apps with data
external : so that i can flash apps/ install updates!!
thanks in advance
