I have samsung galaxy mini GT-s5570. I have used Link2sd. I have 8gb memory card and allow 1gb for ext4 partition. When sometimes I flashed new rom and use Link2sd to link my applications , after linking all applications it shows free internal storage of 115 mb from 178 mb and EXT4 partition of sd card shows around 465mb out of 1gb. But due to problem I flashed same rom again and installed same number of same applications as previous and links all with SD card. Link2sd shows free space of only 65mb out of 178mb and EXT4 partition shows the only 243 mb filled out of 1gb. After that I tried with changing second partition file system , also format rom about 2-3 times., but the result is same as in 2nd case. What is the problem? because from My 1gb 2nd partition around 750 mb is free and now my internal storage is full. So can't install more app. Can anybody solve it?

Wipe data,sd-ext partitions(system optional). One more thing, even if you use link2sd, the internal storage gets filled up. Because apps keep some data on internal. Better solution is to use int2ext+ in ur case.(If want good performance then use int2ext, but your ext partition should be <500mb. Keep in mind, for each 500mb ext size, you need around 100mb internal storage when use int2ext).

I am totally baffled by this. I've had a2sd working once before, but this time it just won't work. I flashed cyanogen 6.1.1 for my phone, Nexus One, and added google apps by flashing that too, and the rom works fine.
I have partitioned my SD card with 30gb FAT, 1.1gb ext3, 60mb swap and the rest free. I then flashed darktremor. Now, when I open titanium backup pro, I see the bar for a2sd showing free space, and it says 152mb total, 20.2mb free.
Why do I not have the full size of my ext3 partition available?
What can I do to fix this?
Thanks guys
I have the same problem! Before starting a new thread I thought of posting it here,
I partitioned SD with Amon RA recovery (2.0.1) first with EXT2 and converted to EXT3
I have similar amount of memory, 138mb ! Isnt the partition made with recovery detected by the ROM?
Details : Fat32 3.5GB, EXT3 512MB
Look HERE the internal memory doesnt show the memory in the EXT partition. But apps get installed in there when you install them normally. Just check if your A2SD+ is working by the Quick System Info market app.
I read the whole thread A-Z, I suggest newbies do the same to get an understanding.
EDIT: DATA2SD shows this as the internal memory!
hi all.
I have an issue. on my sd card i have a 1gb ext4 partition. BUT in open recovery it says i have 512mb free after i just did a wipe. what's worse is that on the android system itself it tells me i only have just over 200mb of free rom despite over 120mb of that being the phone's internal memory.
Can anyone help?
p.s i used minitool partition wizard
Bump....anyone?

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 ?

Simple, your phone must be rooted, make partition in your sd card and install script like a2sd, link2sd, s2e or anything else.
Just searching in this forum. :laugh:
Thread moved to Q & A, post in the relevant section next time.
Hi ! I was rooted my phone - ok , I was partitioned SD memory card 1st partition : 6GB fat32 and 2nd 1 GB , I was instal Link2SD and moved all all my apss to SD memory card but internal memory is still 181MB and used space is 120MB . In internal memory are instaled only : Link2SD 949kb , Market 9,1MB , SwiftKey 8.98MB , Transparent Weaher clock 7,52 MB . When i restore original settings on mai phone here was 25-30 MB occupated....What can I do for extra memory ?

Rather than move apps, link them, create link, link app+dex+lib of apps. Then reboot. Then using a root explorer go to data/local and delete '.apk' files of those you already linked, then reboot again. Done.

2nd partition formatted ext3?
You are confused, no app, script or kernel actally makes a bigger internal storage. Internal storage is limited by hardware not software.
Some scripts affect the way internal space is reported, to show like you have more, but its not actually giving you more internal storage, it isn't real.
A partition on your sd card can be used to store data that otherwise stays on the internal memory. All apps and scripts use this principle through slightly different methods, but none of them can actually give you a bigger internal storage size.
I all, I do have all my apps installed in ext partition (and I'm sure of it, since I'm able to wipe weverything but the ext, apply new roms and find my apps already there).
I expected almost free internal memory, but I get the low memory warning (20MB and under...). I suspect that moving apps to ext doesn't clean internal memory. Is this correct? If so, how can I free some space? Should I delete apks manually from data?
Try entering this in Terminal Emulator:
su
lib2ext 1
Then reboot
Ok, I got 126MB of free space by moving libs. Thanks for the hint.
Anyway, when I try to move apps from sd to internal I got an Insufficient space error. I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling thos apps
How big is your ext partition? At least 512 MB is necessary. But the latest CM10 builds appear to require more than 768 MB, I'm using 1 GB in my ext partition.
I have 1GB ext partition on my card and had no problem with it.
