which a2sd app do you use on your mini and why..?

well as we all know that there are various apps(scripts) available for a rooted phone to move the apps to sd..in particular to the sd-ext..
like dta2sd,s2e,link2sd,amarullz script etc...
so you peeps prefer which one..and why..?
which one is hazzle free and loads the apps faster..
well reason i am posting this thread is coz i am still in search for one..always had one or the other probs...
so which script do you use and how have you configured it so that no prob occurs..

S2E.. simple and convenient.. use only default settings.. check all items that can be checked. leave /data/data unchecked..

S2E...!
But I Would Prefer Not To Move Dalvik Cache Nd App Data...!
Move Only App...!=))

Thanks for the reply guys...but when I use it everything thing is ok for 2 to 3 days but then none of my apps are accessible eventhough they are installed!
None of them are visible in the launcher...
How did you and what kind of partition have you created?
Ext 3 or 4..using PC or cwm?

Well, even if you partitioned it on PC or cwm with ext4, cwm will still format the ext partition to ext3 if we do a wipe data/cache when installing new ROMs.. so ext type would be out of the question. Maybe you use a suspicious app that you are using which resulted to your problem..
I personally have 1GB EXT, 64 MB SWAP, all the rest in FAT32, done via cwm..

link2sd without any trace of doubt! easy, convenient and running smooth!

Cm v0.7 by mebitek......
Guess what again dta2sd got f***ed up device started to reboot on any install of an app..
Again have to flash the rom..lol..
This is the the third time I have flashed in last four days...
Now again I have installed s2e and have ticked the mount as ext4 in settings, till now everything seems to be ok..but don't know till when it is gonna stay like this..
If this happens again then I will stop using the scripts and stay with phone memory only..

The reason why I don't use link2sd is ...
1.can't move cm themes to SD..
2.not able to patch any paid apps using luckypatcher..

If I can choose any, S2E is the best. Very simple, works very well.

Link2sd is my favorite.
You can also move themes and Widgets to sd and they still work.
Its fantastic and you can choose which app you will move.

There must be a reason for that error. Take a look at the homepage of link2sd.
Here you see that themes can be linked and the work perfect. Also linked Widgets still work.

You can first save the apps to phone memory, use lucky patcher and then move to sd-ext.

From Link2sd FAQ section (http://www.link2sd.info)
Link2SD moves apk + dex + lib files of the application to the second partition and creates symbolic links in the original locations on internal storage.
First advantage is that it can free up more space from the internal storage compared to native apps2sd method because it moves the dex file as well.
The second advantage of Link2Sd over native apps2sd is that by creating symlinks you get Android assume these apps are installed into the internal memory, though in fact all the files are located on the SD.
Therefore you can link all applicatios to SD card; widgets, services, live wallpapers etc., all of them will work without any problem from SD card.
The third advantage is that, even when you mount the SD card to your PC your linked apps are all still live and working!
Because Android unmounts the first FAT partition to share files with your computer but the second partition remains mounted. Link2SD allows you to run all of your "SD apps" even when mounted to your computer as a disk drive.
And, disadvantage is that, obviously, it requires root privilige and a second partition on your SD card.
It's not working "out-of-the-box" as native apps2sd, you need to root your device and create a second partition on your SD card yourself.

Only thing i found complaining to your read error
Q. I am getting read-only file system error and can not link any app anymore.
If your 2nd partition becomes read-only, it may be a filesystem error or corruption. On Linux (and Android) any filesystem error can trigger filesystem go read-only (for protecting fs).
Try to reformat your second partition or fsck utiltiy to fix fs errors, following is an example usage of fsck command.

Then the error I received was due to file system and not app...
Another thing I wanted to ask is that when I flash a rom and install any a2sd app after sometime the partition automatically gets converted to ext2 partition from ext3...!
When I type mount|grep sd-ext in terminal it displays ext2 instead of ext3..and that's when I am not able to install or uninstall any app..
Any possible reasons why this may be happening...?

Link2SD but low internal memory

Hello.
Why my internal memory is low (56 mb) but all my aps is linked to SD on a ext4 partition with Link2Sd ?
Where is the problem?
I cleaned and relinked everything and memory still low
Till yasterday my memory was ~110 mb. Maybe Juice defender ultimate is the problem? Is my last installed app.

I encountered this problem once and switched using "INT2EXT4+" instead, you don't have to manually move stuff with that script and I havent noticed any problem with it.
Use titanium backup to backup all your apps if you're not already using it.

ok
how to use INT2EXT4+ ?
I don't have an app like Link2SD.

Try going to data/local with a root explorer and delete .apk files in there. Link2sd sometimes makes a copy when linking apps and they end up in there, just taking up internal space.

The tutorial is in the link. It makes the phone have more "internal" storage (using the space from the SD card) so all you gotto do is to install apps and they will work as they usually do. You have to partition your SD-card, just search "partition SD card xda" on google and ull find a tutorial for that.

Used amarulz script dude it can make our internal memory higher with make our sdext become internal i have 1.5GB for internal but u must deleted other script with similar function to avoid bootloop..

yeah because some ROM already have script sdext u must remove it before using amarulz script..
use rootexplorer go to system>etc>init.d

When you link apps to sd-ext, the data from all those applications still stay on internal memory. Those consumes a lot of space. Better try moving movable applications to sd card.

Even I also faced the same problem on an earlier ROM. Didn't find a solution though.

Well, as you can see, I can't install any apps using market, it just says: (Translated from swedish) Could not download [Kik messenger]. There isn't enough space on the unit.
But as you see at another pic, I have formated the internal memory so I have almost the full space.
What can I do?

Factory reset your phone! Turn it off and press Volume down and as u hold it press power button and just wait for android logo to show. Then your phone will be on stock factory settings and sign in with your account again and try it again!!! And DO NOT format internal memory!

I have clockwork mod installed, and factoryreseting from the phones preferences doesn't work, nothing happends and it says something like ''rebooting automatically when formating is finished'' :/
Thanx for the answer

This happens when you have a cache partitions that's ether to small. Or come from a rom that have symlinked the cache partition. And now have flashed some thing else that don't but still have config files left.
Best and easiest way is normally to do a full wipe and reflash the rom. Use Nvflash or Smartflash and flash the stock firmware and then later the rom you want.
If not you can always symlink the cache partition to a new location your self with a terminal editor on the phone. And make that a script if it the rom support init.d .

Its a rom problem that nt supporting Google play .you can install ur backed up app bt from store u can't ....

Is it enough to get into recoverymode and reinstall the same copy? If it is, what data should I ''wipe''? Also I can install any app manually by using APKs.

if u create ext4 part usin cwm, yes. u ll lose all data on sd. so u need backup. but with gparted or for windows users, minitool partition tool, u can keep them. any case, u should backup.

Okay I've got myself a Class 10 32GB SDCard and what do you think:
The problem still occurs. I've done some research and I believe that the database of the walkman app gets corrupeted.
I have 415 songs at the moment and most of them have an albumart, and some files have the same artist but diffrent album art or diffrent artist but same album and album art but the arts are always messed up.
So I'll perform a factory reset and hopefully it will be fixed. If not a reflash and last option is another ROM

I had the problem with my walkman that it didn't find any songs on my SD-card. The songs were located in a "Sounds" folder. When I moved them to another folder (let's say Sounds2) with ES, and rebooted, the songs were shown again the walkman player. Maybe this could do the trick?

It works now but I'll try that when the issue occurs again

i am having this problem with album.
all the cache image and apps data image are being shown in the album which leads to around 1000 photos in the gallery.
plz suggest me what to do?
