[Q] How can I be low on memory.

My phone showed today the LOW MEMORY warning.
But i still have over 500MB free on EXT partition. Shouldn't EXT partition fill up first?
Is there any chance of moving files from internal to EXT?
Cheers!

Have you tried rebooting your phone ? Full reboot not fast reboot.

Yes I did try that. With no luck unfortunately. Still showing only 5mb free and low memory error.

Which rom do you use? You can check if a2sd works on this way:
Open terminal, enter
Code:
su
Code:
ls -l /data
Output should say something like this:
app -> /sd-ext/app and app-private -> /sd-ext/app-private. Of you are not sure, post screenshot here.

If you have dalvik-cache on internal memory with the stock hboot and you installed a lot of apps, the cache would just fill right up. That's how it says low memory. If not then do what MatDroid said to do.

I'll do it tomorrow. Just a bit late know.
But I remember now, that when i flashed the rom, just after reboot, my EXT was showing over 200MB used, and internal had only 80MB free. My ext is a 1GB, and I maybe have a 10 apps installed and at this moment is showing over 500MB in use.
Ehh will play with it tomorrow.
BTW Running InsertCoin 1.0.8, HBOOT 0.93 S-OFF

which hboot do you have? stock?
if stock you have to use a2sd version!
if you have cm7 hboot and the cm7 version of insertcoin
you maybe want to try this Tutorial
i asume you have a2sd version
the data of the apps is still on the internal memory and will use space
you can, Delete a few unneedet apps(i think you dont want this )
or you maybe try the cm7 hboot, you will gain about 100mb more space and insertcoin is even faster
hope this helps
ps.: if your memory is still to small try a data2ext script but first read this Tutorial

I think I know what I was doing wrong. Running CM7 room with stock hboot.
Will give it a go with CM7 hboot.

So it still something wrong. Question what?

This sounds like what I had last week. Back up card. Reformat with new partitions. Should be fine. Mine is

If you want to use a2sd with cm7 rom, you have to run this script:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=719151
You can also run this program:

But i highly recommend to use the script.

[Q] InsertCoin 1.14 Clarification

Hi Guys
I'm using Insertcoin 1.14 CM7 version and would like to know if apps are moved to the ext partition automatically. I ask this as my 'manage application' show the amount of apps installed (used 178 mb free 110) as equal to the total no of apps installed if I add the values together (Plus 20 mb or so which showed as used on first boot)
Am I to use 'move to SD Card' to move them to the ext? Is this recommended as I remember reading somewhere on the forums not to manually move apps to sd card on a App2SD ROM
Also would like to know if dalvik cache is on ext.
Thanks for taking the time out to help a noob I've done a search but all it has done is to confuse me

CM7r2 Hboot

If you set up your SD card for a2sd and the rom supports it, you don't need to move the apps yourself to SD. This will be done automatically. If you use "move to SD" in application settings, it will be moved to fat32 partition of SD card. The option is just still there because android can only differenciate between apps in internal storage and on fat32 partition on SD card.

Thanks for the quick reply. But if I add the size of each app in 'manage application' manually (like Flash Player 11.98 MB, Google Earth 25.59 MB and so on) it corresponds approximately to the total internal memory used. If so then what part of each app is moved to the ext partition.
I have configured a2sd correctly and when I checked with 'Quick System Info' it shows that some part of the ext has been used. My ext partition is 1 GB and after installing the apps it shows free space at 604 mb which confirms that app2sd is working and part of each app has moved to the ext partition. If so why is my Internal showing the sum of all apps added?
Hope some one can clarify and help a noob

internal should still go down but not as much.
i never tried to add all my apps up before to see what it said but i know i have flash and the the three angry birds which are over 10MB each, e.g. 40MB and of the 130-oddMB from first install I still have about 80MB internal left and about 80 apps installed in total

exatly what i thought. my internal shows 180mb used (108 mb free). 22 mb was used at first boot and the rest 158mb is exatly the sum of all apps added togeather. But my ext which was 1 gb has gone down to 604 mb as per 'quick system info' If so what is using the exe partition?
Is there any way to check if a2sd is working thru terminal emulator? if so what are the commands.
Can any InsertCoin users shed some light on this issue. I've no FC or any errors of any sort and the rom is working great except for this issue
Thanks in advance

Very easy to check if a2sd is working. Open terminal emulator and enter the following commands:
Code:
su
ls -l /data
The ouput should say something like this:
Code:
/app -> /sd-ext/app
app-private -> /sd-ext/app-private
If your dalvik cache is also moved to sd-ext, you should also an output like this:
[dalvik-cache -> /sd-ext/dalvik-cache[/code].
The "->" means "is symlinked to".

A2SD is working. The ouput that shows this is:
Code:
app -> /system/[B]sd[/B]/app
The dalvik-cache stays on /data partition, because with cm7 hboot (I assume you use it because you flashed cm7 version of insertcoin) there is enough for space it and also for performance reasons that's better.

Good to know that a2sd is working. but then onto my previous question. why is ext depleted by approx 300mb and my internal shows the sum of all aps? That is I added the apps capacity manually on 'manage apps' and it corresponds to the amount of apps installed + 20 MB or so which was used on first boot in internal memory.
Yes I'm using Insert coin cm7 version and also prefer my dalvik cache on /data partition as you correctly said to improve speed. Why is Internal memory showing the sum of all apps and ext depleted by approx 300mb. what is moved to ext?

The main part of the apps you install is moved to ext. In /data/app some small app information is stored. But don't worry, the used space is very small, so it should not disturb you. Just be happy a2sd is fully working.

Also can someone enlighten me on A2SD and A2SD+
What are the diferences?

With a2sd the apps you install will be automatically moved to ext partition on sd card.
With a2sd+ the dalvik cache will also (so in addition, that's why there is the "+") be moved automatically to ext partition.

[Q] Manage apps location with A2SD

Hi guys!
I'm here to ask for help ^^
I have my HTC Desire root and S-OFF with the CM7-R2 Hboot.
But I'm struggling with the A2SD script installed by default on the LeeDrOiD HD V3.3.3-Port-R5.
Everything works great except that the A2SD can't be managed manually.
I explain :
I have about 80 apps and the ROM is DATA++ on the CM7-R2 Hboot
So, I have a 288 MB of internal memory and 0.94 MB of A2SD memory
The thing is that, little by little, when I install apps both internal and sd-ext memory decrease... By now, I only have 25 MB left on the internal memory whereas it remains 484 MB on the sd-ext one!...
And it comes a moment where I have under 15 MB free on the internal memory and I no longer can install apps...
My question is : Is it possible to manage the memories and move some apps on the internal memory to the sd-ext? (because I think the point of such a script is to free some internal memory right?)
Thanks in advance for your answers
Bye!
PS: excuse my language, I'm not a native english speaker

If you installed A2SD correctly, all apps you install will be moved to EXT partition automatically. So to make sure A2SD is working, do the following:
Get a terminal emulator, open it and enter
Code:
su
ls -l /data
Now post the output here.

The reason why your internal memory decreases are:
1.) Dalvik cache is on internal memory
2.) Even if one is using A2SD, some app data is still stored on /data. That's how it is.
But it will help a lot when you move dalvik cache to ext. You do this by flashing this script from leedroid's thread page in recovery:
http://leedroid.ftp.rshost.eu/Bravo_Addons/Move-Dalvik-to-sdext.zip
This will minimise the decreasing of your internal memory very much.

Ok thank you
I have used the move-dalvik-2-ext script and I now have 190 MB free on the internal !! thank you
But I will try someday to install the sibere's DATA2SD script :

What am I doing wrong?

Download a2sdGUI from Android Market and move apps plus dalvik cache to SD.

According to Apps2SD my Apps are on the SD card, I haven't moved the dalvik yet. I need a better class sd card to do this I guess. (Class 2 now).
But when I see the internal memory size, it hasn't changed since I did the ext3 partition, should it change?

No it should not. App are transfered to fat32 partition. By class 10 card if u want to move dalvik cache 2 sd, then ext will be used.

With A2SD the internal memory should change, because apps are moved to EXT-partition of SD card.

Yes the apps are on sd but the dalvik is on internal and the more apps you instal dalvik gets bigger. The real improvment on internal memory is achived only by moving dalvik to sd.

Okay, output also says dalvik-cache is still in internal memory.

Yes, I know, it hasn't been moved yet, since I need a new card.
What I'm more interested in knowing is why my internal phone memory still is the same as before (147mb for apps) when the SD card memory is 1gb lower because of the ext3 partition.
Shouldn't the internal memory show up as 1gb (or more accurately 1.147gb?
Or am I missing something here?

Its not going to display the ext partition as part of the internal memory instead you'll see sd-ext if you use some apps that shows your current sd card space like Titanium Backup.

[Q] Guide to understand ext partition and get it to work properly

Hi, because I don't have much space on my Desire, I want to try to use the ext option, by placing some stuff on the sd card instead off the internal memory. I have rooted my phone with CM7.1
But I'm not sure, I doing it correct.
I have formated my card, so I have 512 mb ext4, 0 mb swap and 3,5 gb fat32. I have Simple2ext installed
Maybe it is me, that haven't understood it right, but I thought that the extra memory should been seen as a bigger internal storage, but I still have the same amount.
How should I setup s2e, so the phone keeps being stable?
Hope someone out there, can help enlighten this for me.

1. No, using an A2SD-script does not extend your internal storage (/data-partition). By using this script, a symlink from /data to the external partition to your SD card is created.
This means, all apps you install will be automatically move to EXT-partition. But do not wonder your /data-partition still decreases, because some app-data is still stored on /data.
If you are not sure, if A2SD is working correctly, open a terminal emulator on your phone and post the output of this commands here:
Code:
su
ls -l /data
2. I do not recommend to use S2E. IMHO it's to better to flash darktremor's A2SD-script from cyanogenmod's thread and then use a2sdGUI from market. Works very good and stable for most people.

1) Okay, so there is no way to get the phone to accept the extension as part of the data-partition?
The output from the emulator looks like this:
drwxrwx--x 1 system system 4096 Jan 7 11:47 app

drwxrwxr-x 1 system system 4096 Jan 7 11:47 system
2) I'll take a look at that, but what is the problem with s2e?

Output says A2SD is not working. I am sure you know that. So please post output after you think A2SD should be working.
Not with A2SD-script. The DATA2SD-script does exactly what you wants. It moves all internal data to an EXT-partition and the EXT-partition is shown as the "new" internal memory. For using DATA2SD you should have an SD card with at least Class 6 and the EXT-partition should have at least 1 GB (maximum 2 GB) to make good use of it.
S2E makes the rom sometimes unstable und does not always work.

No, I didn't know A2SD wasn't working, I'm fairly new to this area, as it's the first time I rooting my phone.
Can you help on getting it to work?
I have now uninstalled S2E, and installed darktremor's scripts and the gui, so what do I do from here?
My goal is to get more space on the internal memory, but still have a stable a phone as possible.
I don't know if my sd card is class 6 either, how can I check that?

For apps you do not need a2SD GUI. Just follow the instruction for Legacy App2SD Addon here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10675412&postcount=2
To move dalvik-cache to EXT, press tab "Dalvik" in a2sdGUI, choose "Dalvik Cache on SD-EXT" and then "Move and rebuild". You should now restart your phone.
If you followed the steps (apps + dalvik-cache), please post output of the command above here again.

No luck, the phone can't boot after I installed cm7_legacy_a2sd_rX-signed.zip. It keeps hangin at the HTC boot logo, so I had to do a factory reset, just to get it to start.

After I restarted the phone, I now get this output:

Is it working now, and will it keep working, now that I can't do the first part?

How you can see in the bold-marked part of your part A2SD+ is perfectly working.

Thought so but wanted to be sure...
So now I can just go ahead, and download all the apps I need, and the main part of them will be installed on the sd card?
If I run into space problems again, can I then move app that supports it to sd card, or is there anything I should keep in mind?

Hello, I've installed a Rom with A2SD+ (used 1GB ext3) and i dont know if it works corretly, my output is:

Yes, you do not have to do anything any more. I am pretty sure you won't run out of space. And if, please ask then.

Great thanks, just one more thing. I tend to use, Appbrains app instead of Googles market app, but now it's not working as normal.
When I search for new apps, it doesn't return anything, and if I press the recommendation button , it says the I don't have enough app installed, even though I have +20 apps installed.
Can that be because of the extended memory?

Please use the thanks-button instead of saying thanks.
I do not know anything about the appbrains app. So use Google or the search here on XDA.

Sure, by the way, is there an button to close the question with?

No only mods can do that. But there's no reason to ask a mod for that. Just add a [SOLVED] to the thread title to help others who are searching for this topic.
