help with SD card ext partitions/app2sd

Guys, I'm running DJ Droid on mine, odexed, and I've enough space given I'm using Froyo's native apps on SD option using setinstalllocation on DJ Droid.
I want to try another ROM but most are deodexed and so seem to need app2sd.
I've never used this - if I use ROM Manager from my current ROM then I can partition up to 512MB ext size, and specify swap (0?) - is this enough?
Once I've partitioned the SD card, then how do I make use of it? Does it only work when you first flash an app2sd-supporting ROM on it - i.e. the ROM notices the ext partition and automatically makes use of it? Could someone help me out here? I have searched but am struggling...
Thanks
Ric

it automatically does the job when you flash the rom with the a2sd+....just have the sdcard with ext partition inserted and it will do it all on its own

So if I partition the SD card (usign ROM manager) and reboot without reflashing ROM nothing will happen, but when I next flash using a new ROM like the Neophyte one it will automagically start using app2sd without any intervention on my part? Apologies for confusion but the process seems to have evolved pretty quickly and so a lot of guides are a bit out of date...
Also, seen note of ext2 and ext3 partitions?
Thanks

I have the same question, did you manage to get the answer ?
I have already flushed the ROM and now i want to wipe and use the app2sd is it possible without flushing new ROM ?
Or i can flush the same ROM again after wipe the SD card ?

If your rom has a2sd AND you have your sd card partitioned, then you should be using it automatically.

Once you've flashed a ROM of your choice, download Quick System Info from the Market, this will tell you if your A2SD is working. For example, mine says A2SD storage - Total: 473mb, Free: 255mb.

Partition problem SD card with Rom Manager
Hi guys
Thanks for the replies, but currently now i have the issue with the partition the SD card.
I am using the ROM Manager to wipe the SD, (512, swap=0).
The device is rebooted with red question mark and boots again to regular state and actually nothing happens.
Thanks for assistance.

Ok maybe i don't understand something
But i flushed the Leo ROM 2.0C without wiping my SD card and i didn't partition the SD card to ext2/3/4. During the flush of the ROM i got notification that the ext partitions weren't found so the app2sd+ will not be installed.
So the situation now is what i have the device with flushed rom but without the app2sd+ .
In Quick system Information i see A2SD : Information not available.
I would like to have the app2sd+ working, like i understand in order to do this i need to wipe the SD card and partition it properly -> this is the problem i can't do it with Rom Manager, because it's boot with Red question mark, after 3 sec boot again into regular device state without any changes.
If i success in wipe the SD then i can flush the new ROM which will install the app2sd+ properly.
Thanks for the assistance.

I guess your ROM doesn't install a2sd when no ext partition is found at install time. Reflash it, and it should detect stuff properly.

I tried to reflash the rom but it's the same.
I have only the option to move the app to the SD card Applications -> Manage Applications -> Move to SD.
In additional i have checked some replies which still telling to use the Rom Manager (for me it's not exactly working -> red question mark).
In additional i saw some places where it says go to recovery -> partition SD ext2/swap. I don't have this option in the recovery.
Still don't have idea how to partition my SD.
Thanks

Well, then you have probably partitioned your card wrong. Try GParted, and make sure that the ext partition goes AFTER the fat one.

[Q] Can't make apps move to SD card

Heya,
Today I flashed a fresh Defrost 6.1a (Which is said to support A2SD+), Flashed Gapps. So far so good.
I took my 8GB SD card and partitioned it in Ubuntu using Gpareted. I set the FAT32 partition first, then a ext3 partition (512MB) second.
Ubuntu read both with accurate sizes.
I put the card back into the phone and looked "SD card & phone storage", it no said my SD card is only 6.89GB, but the Internal phone storage was still low.
I decided to check a little more with Titanium Backup, which surprisingly said that my ext3 partition is only 256MB and is half full (talking about a fresh ROM here).
Can someone point me to where I did wrong?
Maybe format using ext4?
Put the ext partition first?
Reflash ROM after partitioning?
TNX

I have never got A2SD working either. I think you need to install a script or something. Here is a post about A2SD. Also, Android 2.2+ supports moving apps to SD anyway.
If you want more space to install apps, you can install one of AlphaRev's HBoot templates which can increase the /data partition, that's if you have S-Off.
I couldn't be bothered farting around with A2SD and so I did that instead.

No, it will not make it work and will only increase your memory card's wear.

So you flashed the a2sd enabled ROM on the device which didn't have memory card prepared? I always thought such enterprises would end in a boot loop. Flash it again if this is the case.

erklat said:
How do you inspect if a2sd is working? Coz I think u r doing it wrong. Install Quick system info and check what it says under a2sd storage and if it slowly decreases when you install apps, which means it is working. You don't have to set default install location anywhere, the script does that for you.
What you are referring to here, is Froyo's built-in a2sd which requires the app to be optimized for app2sd, that's why only some of your apps seem to be on the SD card. Furthermore, it will transfer the apps to FAT32 partition, that you don't want for it to do since Android first loads apps which need to be loaded at startup, and afterwards it mounts the SD card, which will lead to some apps failing to start after boot.
a2sd tricks the phone into thinking that ext partition is it's internal memory. Froyo app2sd != a2sd script, don't confuse those two, they are not the same.

[Q] Abit Of Help Please...

Am using Leedroid App2SD+ ROM and have 1gb ext with 756MB free, i have lots of apps installed but now my phone is showing low memory 15MB, so I have moved alot of the apps to SD card to try free up abit, but its not freeing up phone memory its still staying at 15MB.
Why wont all apps just use the ext? how do I get free phone memory back up again.
All help welcome thanks

All apps have to use internal /data/data folder to store libraries etc. So if you need more storage read about data2sd.

Because if you have A2SD+, then Move to SD in the application manager has no effect (apps are already on the SD Card).
Try running a cache cleaner, maybe too much cache. Possibly a2sd+ is not working properly?
I never had that much low space on LeeDroid when I was using it (had 55 apps of my own installed).

check the leedroid topic?
I read something about a memoryleak in flash what could cause the problem.

You can also move dalvik-cache to sd to free about 40MB internal memory.
Simply download terminal emulator from market, and then put su and a2sd cachesd or cachesdreset (it removes old dalvik cache from internal memory) commands.

I thought the rom has to support it, can I just install somethink to make this happen.

Here you have zip instalation scripts and some tutorial how to manage that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10692249&postcount=1299
Remember that you will lost your apps! Backup them by Titanium Backup (I don't think that backup and recovery by nandroid it is best solution if you are messing with symlinks and /data partition).

I never had any issues like yours when I used Lee droid A2SD and had installed a lot of apps. Just make sure that you have not moved the apps in the app manager to the SDCard as this only movers them out of the Ext partition and in to the FAT32 partition.
I would give Leedroid another shot with your new SDCard.

I think I have just filled it lol got 75 apps but most of them are games big files, ill give starburst a go liking the sound of this ROM and if its true I should never fill the memory, if it not good ill go back to leedroid but start fresh format everythink.
With my old partition I did make it on windows like, so maybe thats whats happened, I am going to use gparted next time.

Partitioning for CM7 and App2SD

I am using Cyanogenmod 7 and App2SD (as explained here). I want to move EVERYTHING to the SD card (including data) and use ext4. How should I partition the card (using Gparted) to have it working properly?
I tried doing it with Clockworkmod but it is very limited (only 1 partition+swap?) and does not ask me if it should be ext4.

yah its better if u use gparted live cd..cwm create by default an ext3
but be aware that any cwm recovery below 5.x will format ur ext partition in ext3 as soon u do a wipe or a restore on it! to use an ext4 u should use cwm 5.x and up (or alternative amon_ra 2.0.1)

My question was: How should partitions look on the card. What types, sizes and for what purpose. For 4gb and 8gb card. I checked the default partitioning done by CWM and it was 1.8gb fat + 1.8gb ext3 + swap. Why the division? Why fat? Can I do it differently, like 10mb fat + 3.8gb ext4?

Dont make your EXT partition over 2GB

All the data moved from the phone to SD card though app2SD - would they be kept on ext or fat partition? Is the FAT partition the one visible on the computer if the phone is connected as a USB storage?

You need to be clear on your definitions before we can answer that.
Do you mean:
1)apps2sd = /manage applications/<application name>/Move to sd?
2)apps2sd = App on teh market that uses the mechanism in 1) to move in bulk?
3)apps2sd = a2sd/+ script that moves apps to ext partiton?
Yes, FAT is the main data storage partition

I have installed app2sd and then done
Cache2SD
adb shell
/sd-ext/userinit.d/10cache2sdext-binds enable
Data2SD
adb shell
/sd-ext/userinit.d/11data2sdext-binds enable
Now, after reset there is not a single installed application, not even gmail. Even those installed on system partition before (not moved to SD card) are gone and I can't even access Market to reinstall them.
Is this normal? What can I do now?

gmail is not installed with cm, and if u not find it on the market mean is not available in ur country
this is not related to app2sd things..ur orignal problem was the space..with the app2sd u should have solved it now..reinstall all ur apps (leave ur apps on the internal memory, they will automatically moved on the ext) and u shouln't get anymore low space messages

How can I reinstall them if I don't even have Market anymore?

I mean "after reboot".
I just tried installing gapps for CM but evne though the installation looked successful, after reboot I still cannot see any new apps, including the market.
I also cannot install any nightly build over current RM 7.1 as I am getting an ERROR during installation attempt.

After few tries, I managed to install newest nightly build (7.1 RC won't install at all as it says the zip is BAD even though md5 is correct).
Anyway, I installed google apps afterwards, but I only got google talk in the app menu. Still no Market...

Moving Apps 2 SD

I managed to get my phone rooted and installed nlooooo's 2.3 ROM with the help of a bunch of kind users from here. I'm now having trouble moving some apps to the sd card. I mainly want to move facebook, handcent, maps, es file explorer. Tried moving them through the 'Manage Applications' menu but the 'move to sd card' button is greyed out. I have A2SDGUI installed (came with the ROM) but not sure if and how I can use it to move these apps.
Any ideas?

no need to open another thread on another common issue...
going to link you to another guide, should explain a bit more why you shouldnt need to move apps. you should have read it after being pointed to it previously
as long as you've created your sd partition properly, the script should automatically move them. A2SDGUI app should also let you know.
i also recommend to install 'diskusage', it'll let you browse all your partitions so you can see how space is being used. you may find that your apps are already on sd partition

Just had a look at the guide. Do I need to follow the 5 steps underneath "Assuming you are rooted"? I was under the impression that the ROM I installed already includes Apps2SD functionality.
A2SDGUI says "Apps are on SD" when I open it, however, when I went to 'Manage Applications' I managed to move some apps to the SD card manually, meaning that they aren't all on the SD card.
I've installed diskusage and can confirm that the apps I mentioned in my previous post aren't on the SD Card.

to be honest, i don't think you've read all of the guide, otherwise you wouldnt be asking these questions. read the whole thing, underneath where you referred to. then start at the top and read the whole thing a few more times (trust me i did this several times before i understood)...you can repeat this for many internet guides lol
i've read through your other 'insufficient memory' thread, so have assumed that you've created your sd-ext partition properly using 4ext.
if A2SDGUI reports "Apps are on SD" i'm nearly certain it's already working, it means the apps are on the partition (which is why you made it in the first place).
basically, all your used memory (apps, dalvik cache, data) has to be stored somewhere. when you open diskusage, select the sd-ext option to browse it. the app is quite useful for looking at /data (your 'internal memory') and /system too.
the reason why you might not be able to move some apps depends on the rom, these are likely system apps. you can't move these to sd, and you won't free up any internal memory even if you could move them

If you have problems using my rom you should ask me for help.
Rom has Darktremor a2sd script included and A2SDGUI app should work. However, sometimes it can happen that after a fresh install A2SDGUI doesn't so you have to do the following:
-install Terminal app
-type su (and grant superuser rights)
-type a2sd reinstall and let it finish and reboot your phone. Reboot can last a little bit longer.
After that try to use A2SDGUI, and move apps and dalvik to sd-ext.
Read this thread, there you have all explanations about how to use a2sd.

I followed your instructions and they seemed to have worked. To be sure of that, I switched off the phone, removed the SD Card and rebooted it. As expected, many of the apps weren't available. Problem is, when I put the card back in only a few apps re-appeared! What could be happening?

There's a big difference between apps you moved manually from app management and apps you moved with a2sd. The first one are moved to fat32 partition of your sd card while the second are moved to sd-ext.
You shouldn't do that because you brake symlinks created by a2sd. Go to A2SDGUI and choose move dalvik and rebuild, or execute the same command via terminal.

Sometimes A2SDGUI gets bugged. You can try to uninstall it with Titanium backup (clear data first) and to install it from market, to store it to internal memory, not on system partition.

Would it be a good idea to execute the terminal command you gave me earlier once every few weeks to ensure all apps are on SD? How can I move dalvik to sd-ext via terminal?

5Mb free on system-normal just don't put anything there anymore.
Type a2sd cachesd.

Does the command 'a2sd reinstall' move apps from the internal memory to the sd card or simply reinstalls a2sd functionality? If the latter, what command should I use to move the apps?
Nevermind, I googled it and discovered it moves both current and future non-system apps to the SD Card.
Thanks to all of you for your assistance
