Yes I know, it's another internal memory thread.. but I can't post on the original post about the JB ROM I use without 10 posts so I hope someone can help me here...
I'm using this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951086&page=50
It's the only ROM I've found till now that makes my very battered Ace actually run smooth (it was in a car accident.)
What I've done till now to increase internal memory:
- Used the CWM Recovery Mode to format an Ext on my SD Card
- used MiniTool Recovery Wizard to format an Ext on my SD Card, used Ext2/3 and 4
- Tried to flash the CronMod Int2Ext+ zip, but it's getting stuck halfway through
None of these methods helped any :/ is there a way to increase memory or am I stuck with 3-4 apps before it says "nope"?

You are using int2ext+ in a stock rom = Stability and NO problems
...
Let's start again.
Did you create a sd-ext partition? which format is it (fat,ext2/3/4?
How did you do it? Using mini partition tools is a piece of cake
How did you flash the script?

Uh no.. as I wrote in the original post
int2ext did not work, it's getting stuck halfway through
I created an sd-ext partition using both the CWM Recovery, then MiniTools Partition Wizard, after every try I deleted, formatted and reassigned the SD card back to its original state. I tried Ext2 Ext3 and Ext4.

I thought I answered everything XD but maybe you mean as to why I'm not using the stock rom and decided on a flashed rom?
Simply put because it lagged like hell, the mobile was in a car accident, ever since then the stock rom had nothing but problems, couldn't run any entertaining app without it crashing or lagging
So I decided to get a copy of the stock rom and format everything, then flash the stock rom back on it. It worked, the stock rom loaded, but the lag came back pretty quickly.
Then I went on to search for a rom that wouldn't lag, after a few dozen of failed attempts I used this one by pure coincidence and it works for me, it does not lag, it doesn't crash. Some games lag if I play them too long, but music and video runs perfectly.
But the internal memory was still an issue, I managed to get 1024MB of internal memory on another semi-stable rom a few weeks back using the CWM Recovery tool for creating an ext3 partition. This does not work anymore on this rom, I also tried to get ext2/3 and 4 with MiniTools PArtition Wizard on the card but the internal memory stays the same.
When I tried to flash Int2Ext+ inside the recovery it just stops at a halfway point and shows "4ext: disable_scrn_update" and stays there forever, the little yellow bar in the background moves to around half, then stops there. I waited 30 minutes but no change, then I restarted the phone and there is no change to internal memory.
That is the whole story

LOL!! I was meaning "how to do things"
How did you flash the script? It isn't answered yet
....
Btw let's start
1. Backup your current data
2. Reflash the rom
3. Flashing the script:
>>> mount data
>>> mount system
>>> mount sd-ext
>>> format SD-EXT (YOUR EXTERNAL PARTITION, NOT YOUR SD!)
4. Flash the script!
AFAIK int2ext+ script works with ext2/3 and ext4 partition (so It is the best to avoid troubles, or simply use int2ext4+ [only works with ext4 partition] )
5. The script should work fine, JB Rev rom use BE kernel, so you won't get any trouble
But I said that already :/
I restart my phone into CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.6
I mounted and formatted everything you just said multiple times
then I go into "install zip from sdcard" -> "chose zip from sd card" -> CronMod - Int3extv2+ / Int2ext4+
then it disables the screen update and installs in the background but stops at around half and doesn't budge for hours until I remove the battery and force a restart.

Hi
I have some problems with my Dream now after an format fore EXT2 so I can use apps to sd.
I have CyanogenMod 4.0.4
Iv'e used an guide and console for formating my SD card 8gb class 6.
I've made an 7.2gb fat32
700mb ext2
50mb linux swap
After that I converted the ext2 to ext4, checked everything with print and it was ok.
Than when I've rebootet my phone it woudnt start up, it came to the android in blue, and that blinked some and than the screen went black.
So my plan was to upgrade the 4.0.4 to 4.2.5 anyway so I did that.
My phone was an 32B so I used the HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip
Everything went great with that, but when I tried restarting the problem was still there...
Dont know what to do know?
Remove the ext4 partition?
Try restoring your memory card to original and then try to partition it again.
Ive tried to restore my memory card, no help.
Ive tried to boot the phone with no memorycard, still no go...
Dont know what to try anymore..
1) Format the entire card as fat32
2) add other partitions
3) Wipe from recovery
4) Flash your rom
Also this sub forum is for development, which this clearly isn't.
Ok sry i thought this was the place to ask with this.
I got the phone booting up with 4.2.5 and it worked great.
All my programs waws gone so I need to install them again, but no worry.
So I now tried to format the memorycard again, looks like it didnt work again and im at my problem again...
Now it hangs on the T-mobile screen, so I guess out with the battery and try an reboot before I start all over again...
Maby I'm not supposed to have programs on my SD?
make sure you partition properly.
fat>ext>swap
you can install amon_RA's recovery and let that partition your card for you
Hi.
Ive sendt my phone back to originale software, and than upgraded again, and it seems like it's 4.2.5 and the ext partition that is the problem.
If I change SD card to one without the ext partition it's no problem to start after an whipe..
I've tried reinstalling 4.2.5 but no luck, maby I shall trie an ext3 insted of ext4?
Yes have followed the guide on the pratition, and Fat32, EXT than swap
I recently tried to flash Fresh Toast 2.1 and after 15+minutes my phone was stuck in a bootloop. I rebooted to recovery and deleted all the data and cache. Now no matter what ROM i try to flash it just keeps booting over and over. Anyone have any ideas? I was using apps2sd and completely formatted the sdcard, would this have affected anything? Also tried nandroid back up, but says "No files found" when I try to do so. Also when i try to format the sd:ext i get an error mounting sd:ext
In recovery try and format your sdcard with only a fat32 partition. Then try and enable ?MS-USB? and copy a ROM to your sdcard.Wipe data and dalvik and then flash ROM.
If that doesn't work try replacing your sdcard with another one.
Or you can push your ROM.zip to the sdcad through adb without mounting the sdcard
A2SD will only work if your sdcard is partition with EXT and swap. So if you don't have it partitioned then apps will install on your phone.
I gave it a shot but no luck, i am using the clockworkmod recovery 1.8.1.4.
I had the same issue happen the other day after a wipe and reinstalled rom... I have the same clock work mod you have also... what I noticed was that my phone only did that when I had the sd card in but once I removed it (after several hours of flipping out over it!) it booted fully.. but every time in reinserted the card, it rebooted.. so what I did was used paragon partition manager to create 3 partitions on the sdcard (i have an 8gb card) and made 2 Linux ext2 partition of 258mb or something close to it and the remaining was formatted at Fat32.. after I did this, I re-flashed my rom and everything has been working fine ever since... it may have been some corrupted files in the 2 Linux partition or something because I was running all my apps from the sd card and I had noticed the other day that every time I connected my hero to my laptop via usb, and launched pdanet, my phone rebooted...EVERYTIME.. and this is what led me down this road... If I made any mistakes here, I'm sure someone will correct me, as this is my first post...

Would you mind posting the steps to do that? Im pretty computer savvy but I need some steps to go from. Would I be better off picking up a new SD?
pulled the SD and it booted, thank god lol. Thanks for your help guys!
no problem... glad I could help.. as for the new sd card, you could very well just get another, but I managed to keep the one that I had but just reformatting it and re-flashing my rom (Damage Control v2.08.1) and it's been working fine since then..
Ok seems many usrs here have the same problems over and over again. so heres a tut!
This will probably cover many other topics but simplified here as much as i can.
You Must have the following to get this to work:
ROOT
Recovery 5.0.2.6
busybox installed.
if you have non of these...do not attempt any of this thread till you have!
To start with.
Creation of EXT3 Partitions.
you will need Minitool Partition Wizard. Mini Tool Partition Wizard Download
This is a harddrive/diskspace program allowing accurate modification of disk space.
Never create an EXT3 in CWM, as this will create whats known as a swap drive.
this causes the bootloop. Hence the non boot!
EXT3 has to be set as primary drive not logical.
Size allowance recommendations (personal choice, but this is after a few findings and results given by Salsa users)
SD Card Size.................................EXT3 Size
2GB......(Class 2).............................250MB
4GB......(Class 2-4)..........................500MB
8GB......(Class4-6)...........................500MB-1GB
16GB....(Class8-10).........................1.2GB
WARNING, anything over 1.5GB will result in serious problems and SD damage
This also works around class types of SD Card. the higher the class the faster it works, there are various brands offering different class cards, find a fast and big card for best performance. I currently use Class 8 16GB with 1GB Ext3 with little/no lag
Wise idea before this to make an SD backup, if done correctly your data will not be affected...if you screwed up...you'll loose everything...so back it up!
To start with,
Remove Sd Card and use and SD Reader and insert into your computer USB Slot.
Open Minitool Partition Wizard.
Resize your sd card accordingly leaving 1.2-1.5gb of unallocated space. Apply the actions.
Now you have the unallocated space, reformat the space in EXT3 and set as Primary drive. Apply Actions.
Now normally the Application throws your sd out and says bad drive......this is sometimes normal so don't panic.
Reinsert your Sd in Phone and boot into recovery only
Data2sd script
theres 2 scripts available for these roms.
htc-data2sd-ext3 or data2whatever by m1ndh8x4r.
2.1 Roms work well with htc-data2sd-ext3 script with no problems.
data2whatever works really well with 3.5 sense Roms (Bens/M1nds)
*****There is a warning with this data2whatever script....When using this script, you will notice after a short period, that you cannot update or install any more apks. This is due to a Dalvik error within the script on Deodexed roms, currently it cannot be fixed, you have been warned*****
these can be used easily but the following rules must be applied.
You must flash the rom firstly by the 3 wipes...regardless!
flash the rom as normal and reboot full, letting the rom fully build it self and load up... ie input your details/sign in wifi etc.
check it out for a few mins while your waiting...hey even make a backup lol!
OK now reboot in recovery and flash the chosen script....DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING!
once flashed reboot normally.
it will boot, it may take up to 5-10mins but it will boot. if by any chance you a boot loop at the boot animation screen then you have an EXT3 fault and you must redo the EXT3 Partition in Minitool to proceed again.
data2sd scripts are here>
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?duigp9ky9796b65 for htc-data2sd-ext3.zip
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?m7bv6pk024p63ef for d2extv0.43.zip (New/Advanced)
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?qr5rh2fho1hnbnl for data2whatever
This is a proven way and so many have tried and failed other ways.
Please try this guide. If you get stuck please just ask!
Please Answer my poll at the top and Thank this post...Ty!
If you Answer NO to this guide, please post below and tell me why so i may help further
Heyy it worked thanks man

Trying to do this with fdisk on linux
It works but runs slowly for some reason
I have a 2GB cards, first partition is about 1.4 for normal /sdcard the remaining .4GB for /data
Both partitions are start aligned on 2048 sectors
Issue - applications get corrupted after restart
I am facing strange issue. I did everything described above and have /data on sd. But everytime I reboot something happens to most apps. They are installed but when I try to launch any of them I got errors and application closes. I need to reinstall EVERY app and they work until next reboot. Any ideas about the cause or what to check ? At this point I am trying not to discharge or reboot my phone by it;s impossible to keep it that way.

no dont lol...ok sounds a bit stupid but have u got root? because what your describing is and apps2sd thing...which u cant get on stock rom....but if u dont have full root....then this sort of thing does happen....or...you got a faulty ext3 partition...
questions next...
which guide did u make ext3?
size and did u make swap?
root?
Need file name of the data2sd script u used and how u used it...(this is important)
so i need full break down....assuming u have root that is....this almost sounds like a silly problem, but then most of us don't use stock roms anymore....so we dont have this problem lol

Of course I have a root - it works perfectly. I created the partition according to above instructions (I mean this thread). My ext3 partition is about 800 MB and 3200 MB is for FAT32. I did not create swap - just fat32 and ext3 with Partition Wizard. I used htc-data2sd-ext3.zip in I think normal way - phone reset, installing busybox, reboot, installing script with recovery - done. Everything is perfect until next reboot.

Funny thing
I used my previous card (smaller - just 2 GB) and there's no such behaviour as with my 4GB. Smaller one is Sandisk, bigger one is Kingstone - both known for good products. So switching ROM is rather not an option. There's something about SD but I can not figure out what...
Pls help
I have created 6gb of fat32 and copied ROM and data2sd-ext3.zip then formatted remaining 1gb space in ext3. When I tried to install zip from recovery mode it throws "E: can't mount /sdcard/"
pls help

how did you make the partitions? and are they set as primary?
what class sd card is it? you need a class 8 or 10 on that size.
I used mini tool for partition. I set fat32 as logical and ext3 as primary. I have 8gb class 10 SD.
Sent from my HTC Salsa C510e using XDA
Shrink the ext3 to 750mb and set all partitions as primary.

Yep now I can see my data in SD card. Another problem I triple wiped and flash arc rom again, and given detail/sign in. When trying to flash script in recovery mode, it asks for busybox in some sys folder. I don't have busybox and also script installed, but ext3 memory not reflects in as main memory. Am I used different script or I need to install busybox, if so how to do that.?
I installed busybox @ system/xbin and flashed script, it worked. Finally my internal memory problem solved:thumbup:
I request to add installing busybox step and download link for script in tutorial.

So I've been having problems with my internal memory, so I decided to try it out. The first problem came upon rebooting my phone. It said something like "android.process.acore stopped working". So I decided to just format the card again, but the place for swap was gone (about 200 mb-s), so I decided to format the whole thing to FAT 32. At first, the phone didn't boot. Then I wanted to reinstall TheWhisp's CM 10 mod which I've been using, but CWM recovery said that mounting the SD Card failed. I read somewhere that going back to a stock rom might help, but nope. I still installed CWM Touch 5.0.2.8, but it still can't mount my sd card. Can anyone please help me? The stock rom is stuck in a bootloop, so I can't use the phone.

Are u sure u removed the ext partition before u tried booting up your phone? Having an ext partition without a2sd would cause bootloops. If you have removed the partition, then have you removed the init.d file from cm10?

Thanks for the answer but I've solved it since then. Simply had to reformat two or three times, now it works. The only problem is that when I remove the card and put it back ES file explorer does not see it, but that's nothing.
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?

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?

i suffered with this issue too
currently using "fixed int2ext+ for android 4.2.1+" by CronicCorey.. the best in my opinion.. i guess there are many threads already for internal memory issues.
i really suggest int2ext+..

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.
