Hi!
I'm facing disk space problems with internal memory on my samsung galaxy mini.
So I have moved lots of apps to SD by using app2sd and cm7 own moving capabilities.
Now I saw this apps2sd script by darktremor and want to give it a try.
I managed to partition my SD card to two different partitions and /sd-ext is mounted perfectly.
My question is before I run this apps2sd script does it interfere with already moved apps so that they get somehow broken?
I moved a lot back to phone memory (apps with widgets and auto startup) but the phone memory is so full that I cannot move all apps that were originally unmoveable without CM7. Do I encounter into troubles?
Running,
Samsung Galaxy Mini with tj_styles CM7 7.1.0 and OC 764 kernel.

Don't know about that ... But, it is always recommended to have app in internal storage if you are using darktremor a2sd... The dt a2sd and a2sd are diffrent and are incompatible with each other so only use either one...
You can move most apps to internal storage and backup remaining ones using titanium backup or anyother method then install/flash a2sd and then restore your apps again...
If you need help with installing a2sd read this...

Thanks!
I think I'll take full backup with titanium backup and then flash new cm7 with dt a2sd and then start to restore them.
Hi there,
So my N1 is rooted and has SuperOSR rom installed. The native app2sd that comes with the rom failed to work, so I disabled it and went back to the method I was using on CM7, Link2sd. I need a method to move apps/cache/lib files to sd-ext, as the tiny internal storage on the N1 is insufficient to hold even a 10th of the apps (and their data) that I have installed. And Link2sd has, at least in the past, been the perfect option to do so.
At first, all seemed well after installing and setting up Link2sd. Mount scripts were created with no problems, apps/cache/lib files all moved over to sd-ext without a hitch. Everything was going really well. Until I rebooted. Then, all hell broke loose.
The problem is this - for some reason, the second partition (sd-ext) is not being mounted during boot time. I'm not sure why, as this is exactly what the Link2sd mount scripts are supposed to accomplish. A Link2sd "mount warning" notice confirmed this problem, saying that "since 2nd partition was not mounted during boot time, linked apps will be invisible to the system until quick reboot". Indeed, every app that I had linked was not visible to the system, and most widgets on my homescreen showed only the message "problem displaying widget".
Luckily, a way to temporarily fix this is by simply quick-rebooting the rom. This will get the linked apps to show up again. But the problem is, widgets are still dead, input method gets reset (goes back from Swiftkey to native Android keyboard), and SMS gets reset back to the standard android SMS app. Of course, all of this can be changed back, but it takes time and effort to load each individual widget and restore each individual input/sms setting. It's really not practical every time you have to reboot your phone that you have to:
1. Quick-reboot the rom
2. Change input method back to Swiftkey
3. Manually restore every widget on your home screens
4. Change sms app back to Go sms.
So, my question is, how do I avoid having to do all this? I've already tried the "re-create mount scripts" option on Link2sd, but it doesn't matter. Still have the same errors upon rebooting phone every time. I'm pretty sure this means that the Link2sd mount scripts are either not being created correctly, or are being deleted every time the phone reboots. How do I fix this? Trying to get in contact with the developer of the app (bakpinar) has proven unsuccessful.
Does anyone know of any other scripts that I can flash/install that will successfully and consistently mount the 2nd partition (sd-ext) during boot time? I'm fairly certain that this is all I need, as everything else with Link2sd has been working correctly. Thanks in advance for any advice!
Ok, so since I haven't gotten any responses on this, I'm going to attempt two methods that i THINK might remedy this issue. The first one is this:
Method 1:
1. Full wipe and reinstall of SuperOSR rom
2. Format sd-ext to ext3 filesystem (found out that rom's native app2sd program wouldn't work due to my sd-ext partition being FAT32)
3. Enable rom's native apps2sd option upon booting.
4. Reboot
5. Install Link2sd from market, enable dex/lib file linking ONLY (native apps2sd program only moves app files, not dex or lib). Going to be interesting to see what link2sd says about the mounting scripts...
6. Reboot, collect results.
The 2nd method I'm going to try is this.
1. Full wipe and reinstall of SuperOSR rom.
2. Flash DTAPPS
3. Boot into ROM
4. Download and install test applications
5. Collect results
I'm not sure if either of these methods will work, however I know the 2nd method worked for CM. I will update a bit later as to which method (if any) fixed the issue. Sorry for the double post.
I commented to the ROM cook nelo360 a while back that there are some strange sd-ext mounting issues. If you look at the dmesg as it boots, it does post some strange error messages. Essentially, ext3 mounts as ext2, and ext4 mounts as ext3. Despite it not mounting as the proper format type, it still works.
Since the ROM is pulled off of AOSP, as CM is too, sort of, much of the same apps2sd apps probably work decently well.
Definitely need an ext3 or ext4 partition. As I'm understanding your post, that did not happen initially, and is crucial to many apps2ext to work, including the built-in one.
Really? Ext4 as 3 and ext3 as 2? Well that would explain why Link2sd was having issues. Hmm.
What I ended up doing was fully wiping the phone, flashing the rom, and then immediately afterwards flashing DTAPPS. Using the GUI interface found on the market, I moved apps to sd-ext and cache to sd-ext as well. The result has been mixed. While there was noticeably more space initially to install apps (something like 190mb internal), that space has declined at almost as fast a rate as when I had no apps2ext of any sort installed at all. This makes me think that while DTAPPS successfully moved some of the initially installed apps over to the sd-ext, it hasn't been moving any new ones i've installed or their cache files. I tried re-moving apps/cache with the gui interface and by using the old-fashioned terminal emulator method, but had no success. Still looking at about 100mb free space on internal. Considering that I only have about 1/4 of the apps installed that I usually have installed on my phone at any given time (I use A LOT of apps), it's become apparent that soon I am going to run out of space again.
As I can't find any method to fix this, I'm afraid I'm going to have to call it quits with this ROM and try something else. Which is a real shame, because stability-wise this ROM beats Cyanogenmod and other ROMS I've tried hands down, while not sacrificing many features. I guess for a user who doesn't use a lot of apps or need a lot of space for them, this ROM would be ideal. Unfortunately, I'm not that type of user.
One problem I've found is that with any automatic apps2sd/ext system is the control of what is actually on the SD vs. internal memory is hard to work out.
With the built in apps2sd, which you seem to have trouble with, not every app was transferred to ext. I found that with the built in system, my internal memory kept dropping until it hit 25 mb or so. However, it never really dropped below that. Everything I kept installing probably went to the ext partition. I installed a lot of apps, and it wasn't an issue. (But you're right, it may not be as many as you want).
I didn't have a great way to check this though. Root explorer showed both the data/apps/ folder and the sdcard/ext folder linked together, so it just listed everything together. I'd have loved a way to actually manually transfer whatever apps were on internal memory to ext, but never found an easy way to do so, or even to confirm what was in which directory.
So even though it looks like the internal memory is steadily and quickly dropping, if you continue to install, and have the two directories appropriately linked (sorry, I don't know what the difference between all the different kinds of scripting apps2sd are), I don't think you'll run out of space as quickly as you think you will.
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.
Hi,
I have 7.2.4.c kabaldan milestone rom.
With sd card with 3 partitions : fat32/ext3 1gb / swap.
Since I can't move my app to the ext with basic app2sd kind of app, I tried S2E.
Well, with the option "intall app to INTERNAL", I guess that s2e were intalled on the ext partition... I hit someting and reboot the phone.
Now, I have lost all my apps, I looks like the stock clean rom AND I can't install any applications, even if I change automatic/internal/external options.
So I don't have access to the ext partition.
Is there a way to get my ext back without a wipe?
(I do have a complete backup, but its a couple of weeks old... my bad )
Thanks
You don't need any additional app to use the ext partition.
All of kabaldan's ROMs automatically detect and use it if it's there.
I don't know how to recover your apps, but I guess any attempt will end up dirty.
Restore your old backup and don't forget to make one everytime you try something fancy

haha, yeah I know, its my gf phone, she doesnt keep important stuff, its not a big deal.
With my phone don't worry, I do backups everytime .
You say that its automatic , but I dont understand why after a while I still have the "no more sapce available ". ext is around 200 mb of 1gb full...
Low space warning usualy means your /data is full, not /sd-ext. Try lib2ext.
btw, I do not know how to recover, I have no clue what s2e did to your data.

Yes, I understand, the 133mb is full, but all my app should install on the ext anyway?
I'm not the only one, but I still dont understand why I cant access to my apps.

The script that moves all user apps to ext partition can be seen here
You can't access them because there is probably some confilct between s2e and the inbuilt 07app2ext script that moves all your apps to sd-ext automatically. That is, it moves the apk part of application, there are some parts, like libraries, databases, etc., that remain in /data/data. And it is stuff in /data/data/ that is filling the space so the OS is complaining. Hence the recomendation to try to utilize lib2ext.
The simplest and probably the safest way to get back to track is to start from scratch. As mentioned, I have no clue what s2e did to your files and where it might have moved it. It might be lost, maybe it is on sd-ext but inaccessible because of messed up permissions, perhaps on sdcard somewhere... IDK.
Point beeing - third party apps and/or scripts are usually incompatible with inbuilt 07app2ext script that provides same/similar functionality.

The apps are installed to ext, but there is more to an app than just the .apk file.
There's dalvik cache, ordinary cache and other additional data
Those usually aren't moved to ext.
If you're running out of space despite having an ext partition enter the following into Terminal Emulator and reboot:
Code:
lib2ext 1

That's make sense. I read some post found on google, and mostlikely, that's what they said.
I did a factory reset, and all my apps are back, but the save data. I'll put it back manualy from my nand backup.

Thanks, I wish I can understand everything on andoird programming... I saw only the basic programing at shcool.
Recently, i flashed my galaxy mini with cyanogenmod 10.1. Just after installation itself, the internal memory was almost 110MB used out of 178MB.
So i installed link2sd to solve my internal memory problem. But, at the time of mounting the second partition, it showed an error that i was out of storage space and that the mount script cannot be created. I made the second partition from CWM. I also tried partitioning it myself in ext2, ext4 and fat32 formats but still, the same error appeared. I dont remember if i tried with ext3.
After searching a bit about my problem and getting no help, i decided to try s2e. I downloaded and installed it from CWM. The problem is, i forgot to uninstall link2sd. After reboot, i couldn't find any apps named s2e. But, link2sd automatically started and now, it showed a mount warning which said:
"2nd partition is not mounted during boot time. it has been mounted after system finishes booting. Therefore, linked apps are not visible to system at the moment. To make them visible again, please try 'recreate mount scrips' or 'quick reboot' "
when i clicked on 'recreate mount scripts', the old error came up. So after rebooting again, i used the 'quick reboot' option and then link2sd seemed working. The problem is that, now, whenever i switch off and switch on the phone, i need to use the option 'quick reboot' from link2sd to make it work.
Any help to get rid of that problem?
And, another doubt: why was my internal memory almost 110MB used just after installing cyanogenmod? Is there any way i can free up more space?

Thanks for replying. Int2ext leaves the \data\data inside internal memory itself right? As i've said, i have only about 68mb in internal memory because the rest had been occupied since i installed cyanogenmod. Is there any way i can clean up those files from internal memory? And also, my \system partition is almost full with just 4kb remaining. I just saw this in link2sd. Is this normal??
Or, another case, i would love to get link2sd fixed because i already did stuff up my phone with a lot of apps and also, i think its a really good app manager.

/system does not appear in the internal memory that u r referring to. \system is allocated a different memory i.e., about 207mb. Your ROM goes in there.
all the user apps data and cache is saved in /data. This is your Internal memory.
there are different versions of int2ext script. Go through the link i gave. There's one more:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1879806
Read the details there.
briefly speaking, int2ext moves all the /data stuff onto the ext4 partition that u create on you sd card.
int2ext+ leaves /data/data in the internal memory.
I am using fixed-int2ext+ and I have more than about 105 apps installed on my phone and the /data/data/ size is about 145 mb.. leaving about 35mb free on internal memory. My phone is super smooth.
In u prefer int2ext, then you can practically store any number of apps (limited only by your ext4 partition size. But the phone gets laggy and slow. I have tried both and i prefer int2ext+.
Also, if you are using the latest CM10.1 nightly by rohan007, you'll still have about 19mb or so free on /system.

i did a data and cache reset today and still, the internal data memory is almost 110MB used. That means i have only about 70MB left even after data reset. And yes, i am using CM10.1 (02-04-2013 update) nightly by rohan007 and still, the system partition has only 4KB left.
I did go through the different int2ext scripts. Possibly, i think int2ext+ would be better.
Anyways, today, after doing a complete reset, the home key stopped working. Also i found a few other bugs in the notification drawer. So i just deleted that rom and i'm trying baltrom now. It seems pretty smooth than the other cm 10.1. Also, it had the int2ext+ so the memory problem solved for now. And one more thing, I'M DONE WITH LINK2SD!
Lol.. I never faced that issue.. Been using cm10.1 for more than a month now.. And I flashed this ROM many times.. No such issues at all.. I wonder what went wrong.. Anyways.. Enjoy with int2ext+..

I think i found out why home button stopped working. If we have installed gapps, doing a data reset can produce problems(like, home button not working) and we'll have to flash the rom again to fix it. Thats what happened, I THINK. I read something similar in the forum. Thats how i came to this conclusion.

Next time while flashing the ROM, could you try this method?

Try that. May be you can have a clean flash and may be everything will be better.
