Sorry wasnt sure if to put here or on the dev fourm.
i am having an issue with App2SD+, it could be im just being a noob and not understanding how it works.
i am running ReflexTSenseHD v1.5 ROM, which worksfine, no boot issues of any sort, so i am sure that i have installed it correctly.
i have a 16gb SD card, that i have taken 3GB and made a EXT3 partition. the rest of course is formatted in Fat32.
when i look in my internal Storage there is only 90MB there.
i tried fully formatting the card again, wipeing my phone and doing reinstall. but this only freed up 10 extra MB. so i now have a massive 100MB.
shouldnt this be saying something like 2.5GB ? if i install any more apps it will just take it off the 100MB. this doesnt seem like App2SD+ isnt working.
am i doing anything wrong??
No everything is fine. Time to learn the what A2SD+ really is and how it works.

Hello guys,
I am very new to HTC phone and i managed to root my htc desire
using this guide nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/05/how-to-root-your-htc-desire
after root you can see in the picture i have App2sd enabled in pictures but my internal phone memory is still going lower. I have couple of gameloft games installed Ashphat 5, RealFootball, Gangster,heavy gunner and hawx and apps like astro, act1, documents to go.
I tried installing Darktremor A2SD version 2.7 but phone kept on restarting after htc logo so i rooted the phone again with nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/05/how-to-root-your-htc-desire guide.
My phone is on orange contract uk. I don't want to brick this phone.
please guide me to the right direction to install right rom with apps2sd+ or apps2sd so that every thing gets installed on sd card instead of phone memory. I have been reading this forum and Modaco forum for couple of days now. I can't get apps2sd to work properly so i can have loads of phone memory.
I have 16gb Sd card class 2 during apps2sd process i made Goldcard with sd card 4gb which came with the phone.
I don't want to brick my phone. what is the safe method?
Please guide me in right direction so i can enjoy desire more.
Sorry if i asked question which were asked before.
Thanks
I'm facing the exact same problem as yours. All the tests shows that app2sd and app2sd+ is working.
But, the internal memory still decreases. Till now, I have no idea how to solve this.
Apparently it's related to the /data/data/ folder still filling, I don't know much more past this point.
There must be another rom which has app2sd+ where application gets installed in to sd card.
I am not sure about if i should boot to some awesome roms posted here. Will try when someone who was in same situaution as me gives me thumb up to install new rom and apps2sd which works

As has been previously said, the application does get installed to the SD card. However, any "data" in /data/data is left in internal memory.
I have Copilot installed on my Desire. It takes up 18.50mb in total - 11.23mb for the application and 7.27mb for data. If I used Apps2SD, I should regain the 11.23mb, but the 7.27mb data is still in internal memory.
Regards,

I understand that some data gets installed on internal phone memory. I also read in these forum people are downloading google earth and co pilot big application and they still have over 100mb data left in internal memory. I haven't installed apps2sd+ i only have apps2sd normal when i followed this guide nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/05/how-to-root-your-htc-desire.
I wanted to know is there any other rom which has apps2sd+ which store majority data in sd but not internal rom.
Which rom do you think is better for newbie like me. Modaco customer R3 which has app2sd+ custom build or any other free rom in htc Desire Android Development thread?
Question. Maybe i just never payed attention to notice this, but last night i rooted my phone with 10minute method and sd card click-in. Then followed the same guys video to NAND. Installed CM6, first making a backup of my rom just rooted which is stored on the SD card. When i go to settings on my phone, then go to Storage information. I have 400mb left on my SD Card, which is only 2gb and a rom backup and such. Understandable. However, my actual PHONE storage says only 700mb. Why is there only 700mb available on a 8gb internal storage?? Seems kinda low. Anyway to free this up or do i need to worry about it?
The 700mb is phone storage for apps and stuff. The 8gb is internal storage which is just like another sd card but built in and actually it's about 6.8gb. I know that in CM5.08 the internal storage was not recognized so this may be a problem on CM6. You should look on one of the threads for that rom and see if that's the case.

EDIT: Disregard. different issue.
Neither cm 5.0.8 or cm6 show the internal flash as of yet. I have been using the skyraider froyo+sense Rom that recently came out and it has the memory available.

Hi,
I need your help. I've got a rooted desire running Oxygen 2.0RC ROM (thanks AdamG).
Question is...I keep running out of space when installing apps. I've seen references to "A2SD and EXT2/3/4" and so forth around the forum.
Can someone explain to me what they are and how I can somehow fool my desire into thinking my 16Gb micro SD card is part of its internal memory. I've already moved as many apps as I can to SD card but I keep running out of space.
Is it even possible to fool the desire into thinking the SD card is internal memory??
thanks in advance!
First of all, you're posting this in the wrong forum- this belongs in the Q n A section.
What you need to do is to use an A2SD+ paritition. Download Rom Manager, and make a partition with 512mb and 0mb swap. This will "extend" your internal storage and give you loads more space.

Thanks Samleung.
Just tried that. Seems to have worked so far. Am i right to assume that I have now extended my space by 512mb?
It's not necessarily an extension per say. From now on, your apps will still be installed on the internal memory, but with greatly reduced memory needs as it will be installed to the 512mb partition as well. Download "Quick System Info" to see how much of the 512mb has been used.
I suggest you reinstall your rom, just to be extra sure everything is installed there.
Remember to post in the correct section! PM me if you have any more questions.
please help. i just flashed the supernova extreme rom/unlimited memory. iv got a 16gb sd card with a 4gb ext partition.iv installed loads of apps and everything works perfectly. but when i go on create a new message or even read a message it says "warning- unable to manage messages. your internal memory is low. and in the internal memory section it shows iv got over 3gb left. please help??
If you read carefully instructions on droidzone.in you will notice that ext4 partition shouldn't be bigger than 2gb when you flash Supernova for the first time. Repartition your sd card and flash it again.

how can so many manage to put roms on their phones when they can't even read a simple installation guide ??. maybe droidzone ought to do house calls and hold their hand for them it is truly beyond me...

You don't have to get to 10 posts THAT fast, y know?
does it show
I will apologize in advance for acting the village idiot but i don't get it.
I have been running the script to swap my card for the internal memory.
I have tried both Clean Rom 5.0 and Jedi x16
Tried both with different Kernels
Same Result, I get it to "Work" in that I see the "internal" memory as my 64gig card
However
All apps are still loading to the actual phone memory.
I am at a complete loss as to how I fix this. ill attempt to anwser some of the questions you may have in order to help me........
I am currently running Clean Rom 5.0 with perseus alpha36
card was formatted
ran script properly............Must have or I would have seen the swap under "storage"
Is there a step im missing? I see under app manager that the apps are still going to the actual phone memory.
I hope that made some level of sense and someone can help me out.
What is your micro Sd format?

Seriously, nobody can help????
i'm sorry bud, but android ICS and higher version are not allowed to move apps from Internal to SD. Google made the changes, but there are ways to do this and i assume you are rooted. Here it is, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889550, directory bind, i used it for a while, it works.
I have a working zip for this, it swaps the internal and external memory. You still need it?
I believe folder mount may be of some use to you.
