Did you enable apps2sd? If you did it right it should've put all the apps you had installed on the sd.

pretty much.. just open terminal emulator app, type su and press enter, allow superuser permissions, then type a2sd cachesd and press enter, wait for the whole thing to finish and then reboot.. it should take a while depending on how many apps you have so dont freak out if it takes longer than usual... when it loads up you should have your data space back. then what i like to do is run fix permissions from rom manager as well, it helps avoiding force closes and such. good luck

Don't forget he needs to download and flash the a2sd activator from clockwork. The zip file is in a thread (in the dev section for our phone), just DL it and follow the instructions in the post.

In order to use apps2ext you have to flash the activator zip. If you're using CM 6.1 you don't need a custom boot.img so don't worry about that.
1. Partition you sdcard with an ext2 or ext ext3 partition
2. DL the activator zip and flash it in clockwork
3. Boot
4. Use the terminal emulator and type the commands *see bottom
5. It will reboot (may take a while)
6. Done
Code:
su [enter]
cd /system/bin/ [enter]
sh a2sd cachesd [enter]

Total space: 145MB
Available space 100MB
(i set with rom manager to 500 =/ )
What could it be?

Did you move your apps to the sdcard? You might check them to make sure they're not still installed to the phone.
Also, 100MB sounds about right. That's what I have and I delete useless stuff (useless to me) so my ROM is smaller.

I thought if I formatted my sdcard to 500mb, i would have 500mb instead of 100..
no?
Please help me.
I can't partition my sd card. I'm using CM 6.1. I have tried several methods, both ROM Manager and AppsToSd apps don't do nothing when trying to perform the partitioning, after requested reboot everything's the same. Adb didn't work either, says not found. I even wiped and reflashed the Rom. What could be wrong? I know it's not the same issue but related, so not to create a separate thread.

The issue in this thread has been solved.
You should copy that message and create a new thread. What you are doing right now is "Thread Hijacking" (taking over someone elses thread that might still need help)
anyhow.. post a new thread, i might reply with some info

Well you do have 500MB but it won't show up anywhere. The ext partition can't be read by windows and your phone won't list it under the storage menu. I'm sure there's an app (Titanium backup) that will list your ext and show you used/free memory if you want to check to make sure it's there. Also you can type:
Code:
su
cd /system/bin/
a2sd sysinfo
or
a2sd diskspace (I think)
That will show you your ext size.

the 100 is the space left on THE PHONE not the sdcard, since the ext is mounted but not exactly as it should then that space (the 500mb) is not showned there, just the space you have left in you /data partition (in the phone).
Looking at the space left it looks like you did it right and your apps are going to your ext partition so dont worry about it anymore
I totally forgot how its done.
Here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=791795&highlight=a2ext
which is the boot.img that i need??
also.. when I go in terminal and i hit "a2sd", information comes up say
Darktremor apps2SD 2.7.5.2
etc
etc
etc
So im not sure what to do.
(im trying the Salsa rom)
I don't think you will need to get another boot.img for the salsa rom since it has a2ext built-in. I don't know why, but it seems like the phone moves my apps and cache to sd on the first startup right after flashing. If you want to move your cache to sd, you can just type in su to get superuser permission first, then type a2sd cachesd into terminal emulator and it should start moving your cache. While you're at it, type a2sd check to see where your apps and cache are running from as well.

Im doing it.. but its not working 100%
When i hit a2sd cachesd
It runs a few tests, and prints out a line saying "ext partition not mounted"
any ideas?
::EDIT::
Fixed it.
For anyone else who searches...
If you are partitioning with ROM MANAGER, select the partition size you like.. then on the 2nd option (18, 32, 64, etc)
Select different ones..
select one.. doesnt work, format sdcard, use rom manager again.. select another.
I recently upgraded my A2SD+ Leedroid 2.2f to 3.0.8.2 (Gingerbread). To do this, I first wiped all data from ClockworkMod and then installed Leedroid's zip. Now, after a few weeks of use and having installed a small fraction of the apps I used to have on 2.2f the device is constantly complaining from insufficient storage. Sometimes it's so bad, it won't even sync!
Quick System Info Pro says I have:
SD storage: 7.09GB (1.33GB free)
A2SD storage: 494MB (259MB free)
Internal storage: 148MB (14.74MB free)
System storage: 250MB (19.70MB free)
System cache: 40.00MB (38.31MB free)
Memory: 405MB (83.35MB free)
I'm almost certain that the problem is related to the low free internal storage. When I uninstall apps, the free internal storage seems to increase. Do apps still store their data in the internal storage? I don't get this. I've never had such problems with Leedroid Froyo, and used to have much more apps installed.
It will be the dalvik cache. You can move the dalvik cache to ext and it will be fine. But you would of been better off with 1GB ext.
Thanks for the quick reply!
1) Any idea where I can find instructions how to do that?
2) Would this require a faster SD card? Mine currently is class 4.
3) Would it require reflashing?
1) Open terminal emulator and type
Code:
a2sd cachesd
Reboot phone and type
Code:
a2sd reinstall
Swyped from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
Installed "Terminal Emulator" from the market, ran it but it says:
a2sd: not found
I'm running Leedroid 3.0.8.2 with A2SD+ (don't have S-OFF).
(bump)
Any ideas, fellas? It's really annoying having to constantly worry about space and not being able to install new apps
I really hate to spam the thread like this, but please, any suggestions?
Thanks!
connect the device to ur computer using the USB cable.
make sure you're on Charge Only.
also, make sure u have all the drivers that using adb requires.
open the cmd and type
Code:
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
now type:
Code:
adb
Code:
adb shell
now wait for the # to show up.
after it showed up, type:
Code:
df -h | grep data
this will show you how much space of the internal space is taken.
type:
Code:
du -sk /data/data/* | sort -rn | head
and it'll show u your top ten internal-space-taking apps by order.
create a new folder that the dalvik cache of those apps will be moved to by typing:
Code:
mkdir /system/sd/.data
(the name of the folder will be .data)
now move some of those apps and link them to their original place by typing:
Code:
mv /data/data/com.navngo.igo.javaclient /system/sd/.data/com.navngo.igo.javaclient
and then
Code:
ln -s /system/sd/.data/com.navngo.igo.javaclient /data/data/com.navngo.igo.javaclient
.
of course that instead of 'com.navngo.igo.javaclient', you will type the name of the app you're moving.
Thanks, b1gdrag0n! And what about moving the whole /data/data to the sd? Or will this slow down things a lot?
Just download ANDROID TERMINAL
EMULATOR from Market and install it(you
must be ROOTED to use it) .
Now just TYPE in Terminal:
Code:
su
a2sd cachesdreset
Now your phone restarts and you get A LOT
of internal memory(I have like 17 apps
installed and I have 124mb of FREE
INTERNAL MEMORY)!

I have tried this method and I get this message: a2sd not found.
I have fat32 and ext2 partions on my SD card.

maybe your rom doesn't have a2sd support.
I get:
EXT partition not mounted.
Cannot move dalvik cache to SD card
Setting file system ready property to 1.
You can use this command only if you have link2sd installed and with an ext mounted. or Rom with a2sd support like my WS rom.
I just searched this and found this to share. cause I noticed my internal memory was 40mb used and ext memory is like 43 not far, and had 99MB left in internal memory, now I typed this in Terminal Emulator and it became 124 mb after restart.
PS: All my apps linked to sd card w/ link2sd
ok, I'm using original HTC Three ROM with Root.
Link2SD is a godsend- NOTE running all Apps off of SD card takes SUBSTANTIALLY more space than linking them to SD using Link2SD and a partition!
However, the a2sd command isn't found as Aef101 stated.
I wonder do we need to swap directories/load a different app to do it if not part of the ROM and not part of Link2SD (unless I've the "wrong one"). Mine is listed as 1.9.1 by Buelnt Akpinar.
this is only for custom rom with darktremor apps2sd.
is there a noticeable loss of speed due to moving the caches off of the flash memory? seems like there might be some instability.
of course that hasn't kept me from doing it! I'll let you know if it craps out or anything. Thanks for the info. check my sig for ROM setup
I'm trying this ROM :
RUU_Marvel_Vodafone_FR_LPM_1.64.192.1_Radio_47.10c.35.3030_7.47.36.19M_release_203694_signed.exe
http://www.filefactory.com/file/cdb...35.3030_7.47.36.19M_release_203694_signed.exe
Everything's good (phoning, rooting, modding, no visual bugs and full french language) except with Jikantaru's tip.
With Terminal Emulator when I enter "a2sd cachesdreset", it says "a2sd: not found"
I don't understand because I installed link2sd and it works fine.
Is there someone who can explain to me.
Do you have a2sd installed? Link2sd may delete a2sd so it doesn't compete. trash them both and go with Data2whatever seems much better.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S using xda premium
Thanks for your explanations. Now, I know why it was not found.
I'd just install a rom with apps2Sd already built in.
A friend of mine bought Wildfire S. His memory stats are 120MB used 30MB free.
I thought 418MB was available to the user. Is this true or not.
Is there any way to increase the internal memory of the phone... apart from links2SD or App2SD
418 MB is total memory with system and default apps. after them 150 mb left for user application.
There is no way to increase internal memory without Link2SD or APP2SD
noob questions. I have 'S-off' my virgin mobile WFS, does it mean it is rooted? When I try to input the 'SU' using the Terminal Emulator, it said permission denied? Thoughts?

You still need to root. S-Off is only Step 1... See the Tutorial in the Development Forum.

Thanks! I have followed the tutorial for rooting and rooted my virgin mobile WFS. I also downloaded Link2SD, A2SDGUI, busy box from the market. When I run the Terminal Emulator, and input "SU a2sd cachesdreset" it said a2sd permission denied. I have the stock rom, and reading some of the post, does it need a custom rom for this to work?

Make sure the "su" command isn't in capital letters.
Alright i tried this command, and it works.
Freed some 90-100 Mb's for me.
Just some things:
1. It takes a hell lot of time for first two or three boots.
2. Whenever you install a new app, it force closes until you restart your phone.
3. Some speed decrease.
Well anyone else having same ****??
Noob question. I'm currently running Express 3.4.1. It supports a2sd but when i check my internal storage it keeps going up after every app install. I did partition my sd card and can check it many different ways. SO what gives?
You can go into a terminal program, run:
su
a2sd check
a2sd reinstall
and that will move all your apps to the SD Card
This is interesting. Version 2.7.5.2, which is older. The check indicates that apps are going to sd. But when I try to to do the reinstall I get an error, something about a2sd not running on boot.

I flashed the latest a2sd in recovery and now it seems to be working.
My final question for a while
When I load a ROM I also need flash the lasted DT s2sd too?

Yes, you need to flash the script again for a new rom.
Even when it says it's baked into the ROM, I still flash A2SD in the same recovery session as the ROM
Once u flashed the a2sd zip file open your emulator and do the following comands
su
a2sd cachesd
Phone well reboot
Now erase the emulator and re download because it well stop working after u run the command but re download it and open it again now type the next set of commands
su
a2sd datasd
Phone well reboot
And thats it u should have all the free memory you need just make sure u have your sd partioned before doing this or it wont work
