I use S2E before, and then use A2SD script. After change my cusROM (include S2E). i think script A2SD cant delete (in TB still read A2SD).
I have format my microSD with CWM and computer both. but still read A2SD on TB. Need solution please
thx

Does a2sd Darktremor work with Enomther's ROM?
I've installed a2sd darktremor via the zip file in recovery.
the sd card has an ext3 partition.
When in terminal emulator, typing /system/bin/a2sd check comes back with "not found"
Thanks
Enomther's ROM contains built-in support for A2SD. Absolutely no need to install anything else, just to look in the thread and in Spare Parts.
You can simply check app2sd related options(including dalvik cache moving) in spare parts. However, since you flashed Darktremor's over, I don't know if it will work well. If not, you need to wipe all, then flash the ROM again.
Thank you for the replies.
I've made a clockworkmod backup before I started tinkering, so everything is backed up.
The only changes i made, was to change my micro sd card from the standard 4gb FAT32 partition to a 8gb one (7gb FAT32, 1gb ext3)
In spare parts i then enabled oldstyle-extfs-apps2sd.
I noticed the free space on the internal storage increased from ~20mb to 60mb.
The a2sd storage 120mb has currently been used. My question is what exactly is in the ext3 partition and how do i move apps there ? (is it possible to individually move them)
Finally a bit OT, but a when doing a titanium backup i'm assuming this will still back up all system/user data?
If you check A2SD option - ALL your apps will move to EXT. Their data and Dalvik cache will remain on the phone.
If you check Cache2SD - Dalvik cache will also move to EXT.
You can't move the apps data to SD, unless you do it manually.
TB will backup everything.
All the rest you can read about in DarkTremor's thread.
im using cm7.2 rc4 and a2sd darktremor with 1 gb partition
recently i installed rc4 and then restored my apps using titanium backup.... but in middle of restore i see phone memory low error!!
i manually moved some to sd card and then restored the rest...
now even with 1 gb ext partition i have my phone memory only 30mb left with 400mb of sdext free!!!
wat to do ...any new app that i install goes to phone memory and then i have to manually move it ...
i have around 130 apps
then u need to install to sd..because by using dta2sd,ur apps is still in internal memory..ur dalvik cache will be in sd-ext..maybe u can try use ungaze because ungaze will combine ur internal and sd-ext..

which command
open terminal, write:
su
a2sd check
a2sd zipalign
a2sd cachesd
reboot
make sure you have a2sd script installed.
sent from Nokia 3310
try run a2sd check command on terminal,
if u get "permission denied" there is something wrong with a2sd script,
try repair a2sd : a2sd repair
if it's not working, u can try ungaze or another a2sd script or
u can try fresh install using XXKPI n then install RC4,
then flash a2sd, with no swap n dont install a2sd gui
(this step work for me after i gets 3 times error with a2sd (permission denied, and sd-ext mount as RO))
before i go any further on my phone please help me :
this is what i did :
1- i partioned my sd card be 4ext recovery choosing 512 on 1st and 2048 on second and 128 as swap and finally i chose 3ext
2- then i downloaded darkmetor a2sd ind installed from recovery (during this my rom was normal cyanogen0
3- then i flash medroid 7.2 based on cyanogenmod rom which supports a2sd (before that i wipe cache and dalvik)
4- then when i rebooted twice manually i saw that i still have insufficient storage
so i fully wiped and instal darkometor script again and now i already rebooted twice but when i download internal decreases , i tried typing in terminal emulator su the a2sd reinstall but it failed and it said that a2sd seems not too be booted at startup , i dont know what im doing andwhat to do anymore , please help me and guide me
Your setup is a bit off; try this:
1) I highly recommend you wipe everything (backup apps with Titanium Backup) and start over fresh. If not, you can still probably continue.
2) I would also recommend that you make the EXT partition size bigger, about 1gb. And try not to use swap (set it to 0). It has no positive effect on performance, and some rumor it can harm your SD card over time.
3) Try another script. Scripts like DarkTremor, S2E, and others have issues where the device will say low memory when the partition is only half full. Try this script (flashable in recovery), I HIGHLY recommend it; it mounts the EXT as internal and works really great. Link:

Hope this helps. Feel free to ask any other questions.
not sure why you installed 4ext recovery then installed DT--4ext has worked quite well for me, Amon_Ra for a very long time before that
you only need 1 sdext for CM7
as mentioned 1gb and 0 swap
if using DT you flash CM7 then flash DT beta4 before rebooting, maybe even gapps between CM7 and DT--see what OP says on what's included
install Titanium Backup then just a couple apps like Term Emu if it is not already installed
then run your scripts thru terminal emulator
a2sd reinstall
a2sd zipalign
a2sd noswap
a2sd cachesd
phone will reboot after reinstall and cachesd or should--
some people reboot once right after first boot before doing anything else
most people are using sd ext4 not 3 atm, as far as I know

As CSP said, you should make 1st ext bigger than the 2nd one. I even don't recommend you to make 2nd ext partition, very rarely rom that require it. Choose 1GB for 1st ext, skip 2nd ext, and skip swap. But if you want to make 2nd ext, try 1GB for 1st ext, 512/256 for 2nd. Remember to back up your sdcard first.
Before flashing the rom, try to wipe all partition except sd card, find it on recovery menu. You should flash the rom first, then flash the a2sd script. From your post, I see you screwed up the order.
To run the script, after rebooting and setting up, if you use the latest DT, type "a2sd reinstall" in terminal. I also usually run "a2sd cachesd" to move dalvik-cache, "a2sd zipalign" for alignment purpose on boot-up.
Add: Arrgg, rugmankc beat me
i did as u said , specialy moenexus but i got permission denied in TE and it didnt work
can you open and use Titanium if not you may need to reinstall Superuser or add TE to your Superuser list--in its' settings

Thanks guys it worked using the script that CSP recommended , thnx to u all
On the stock GB ROM, Link2SD requires a FAT32 partition to move the App and DalvikCache to the SD.
EDIT: Actually requires FAT32 OR EXT2 for stock...
Titanium backup requires an ext2/3/4 partition to use the Data2SD feature.
Is it possible to do both of these on a stock rom? Or use some other method to get the App, DalvikCache and app data to the SD without flashing another ROM?
I will be doing this for 3 of my family's phones and would much prefer to not have to flash ROMS and them have to put in extra effort afterwards.
I promise I've searched so apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, the closest I could find was http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1605006 which didn't answer the question...
Thanks in advance!

I have created two partitions, one FAT32 and one EXT2 using MiniTool Partition Wizard
Link2SD is correctly setup and working.
Titanium Backup has this to say:
The supported mount points for the ext2/3/4 partition are:
/system/sd/ (“classic” sd-ext)
/sd-ext/ (“Cyanogen” sd-ext)
/data/sd/ (“MIUI” sd-ext)
However none of these mount points are present (it appears to mount under /data/sdext2/) so I'm unable to use the Data2SD functionality as yet.
So the question now becomes, can I create multiple mount points for a single EXT2 partition on a Stock ROM (ideally easily!).
Install a custom kernel with init.d support.
Cf-root is the most common since it's based on stock, and preserves baseband.
After that, there's many choices:
-link2sd as you've beeb using
-cronmod or amarullz scripts (int2ext+) which mount sd partition as extention to internal memory (every app on internal gets installed to the partition).
-s2e has the option to also move data to the partition.
Keep in mind that having data on the partition will lower performance and smoothness as compared to having data on internal.

Thanks for the advice.
I have a class 10 card that I was hoping would help mitigate the problem, am I just being naive?
I was hoping I'd be able to avoid a custom Kernel (haven't researched them enough yet)
I will try and find an S5830 Stock + init.d kernel tomorrow and see how that goes, I'm still planning on Titanium Backup to do the Data2SD.
Does this init.d script mount the partition somewhere that Titanium Backup can get hold of it then?

I really can't say about titanium backups' data2sd function since i've never used it before.
The init.d script (i found cronmods' int2ext to be the most convenient) mounts the sd partition as part of /data. When making backups of apps+data titanium backup had 0 problems finding and backing up all apps. The problem might arise if the data2sd function tries to move /data (in which the partition is already mounted) to the partition.
Someone in the forum might know more details. You can always make a nandroid backup and see what happens. Good luk.
after i installed cronmod... my sd ext disappeared...... all the apps are getting installed diretly into sdcard... phone space is not wasted... but the partition i created is wasted.. what to do.. help
thank you
Did you follow the instructions carefully??? Did you uninstall Link2SD and it's mount script in etc/init.d ? (If you had Link2SD before)
