Finally downloaded and installed a2sd version of MIUI-XJ. Everything went smoothly. Loving the speed. Awesome MIUI implementation and thanks XJ for modifying it.
Now the problem started when I try to activate app2sd.
When I run the code to activate from terminal, It gives me error - "Problem detected: Darktremor Apps2SD may not have ran during boot. Cannot read a2sd.mountpoint."
I tried to rewipe everything and flashed still no luck. I have 512 MB ext 3 partition which I was succesfully using for Leedroid, Insertcoin and gingervillian (which use same darktremor code)
If I go in settings and SD card setting I can see A2SD+. Total space 457 MB and available as 453 MB.
So what option do I have now from below?
1. Downloading darktremor script and flashing it and try?
2. I dont know what is D2EXT and D2W so I never tried it. I have 512MB Ext 3 and remaining fat 32 (0 swap). can I try any of that version with that partition structure?
I really started liking this ROM. I hope something works because currently I am using it as it is and only 4-5 apps install bcoz soon it will go into low memory.
Thanks in advance.
You don't need to flash the DarkTremor script because MIUI-XJ has A2SD script built in and you use the terminal to activate it.
Download Terminal from market and open it
Write:
su
a2sd reilstall
After few seconds phone should reinstall a2sd and start to move apps to ext
It worked for me
Yes Meaple, But that script was giving error for some reason
Thanks Vanthor,
I tried that but same error was coming so finally I downloaded the script and reflash it and all is well now But looks like some problem with that update in that ROM.

I recently flashed this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957291 Gingerbread version on my HTC Desire GSM, and its working fine.
Just one problem.
It says I do not have sufficient memory remaining to install more apps but my SD Card still has almost 1GB left and my A2SD+ has almost 300MB left.
I used A2SDKiller (flashed right after flashing the ROM) and Data2SDInstaller (flashed after 1st reboot)
Is my method right?
Pls help out, thanks.
download terminal emulator from market and type this:
su
a2sd reinstall
this should work..
it did not work.. after the process ended in terminal emulator, it rebooted.. after entering the OS, most of my apps "aren't installed" but the OS detected my A2SD+..
GOD i had to restore my apps all over again after doing that a2sd reinstall.
my problem was that the OS did not allow me to install apps saying that my memory is full. but i still managed to install some. its like it has a limit set up some where.
and under Manage Applications? my list of applications are there! but they are icon-less and are named after their apks i.e. com.adobe.flashplayer. and after tapping on one of them, i have the option to Uninstall. how can that happen when i cant open the app cos its "Not installed"?
The reason for your issue is most likely that you grabbed the A2SD+ version of the ROM which leaves the dalvik-cache on the internal NAND of your phone. While leaving it on NAND is faster than moving it to the SD card, you run into the issue of it filling up. I suggest, if you feel like reflashing a ROM, flash the D2SD version of the ROM. It's more stable in my experience than D2Whatever and note that the speed loss is minimal. I did not notice the difference when I switched between an A2SD ROM and a D2SD ROM.
I had same problem. Failed to run App2SD+ from terminal.
Just download darktremor and reflash it.

Open terminal and run those commands. That solves me the problem
currently flashing Data2Ext version, then flash darkTremor. hopefully it solves my problem.
Anyway, i was just wondering, does this allow the OS to detect my ext partition as "internal storage" just like how CM7 did? and CM7 allowed all apps to be moved to sd manually, MIUI does not.
i don't like the fact that MIUI detects my ext partition as A2SD+
Hi everyone,
I've just flashed Cool Sensation v5. It's the first custom rom i've used with a2sd+ support. I have a question regarding A2SD+.
I believe A2SD+ is working, because for instance when I install a 20 meg app, it only takes up 2 megs or so of internal memory. So I downloaded A2SDGUI, but it doesn't seem to work... It says I'm either not rooted (which I obviously am), or my A2SD script doesn't work/I don't have an ext partition.
I have an ext4 partition (1GB, which is my second - and last - partition... my first partition is fat32), and right after I flashed the rom, i flashed the A2SD+ script (no errors there). I've also flashed the ext alignment script, before flashing the ROM (after a full wipe).
Does anyone have a clue why A2SDGUI isn't working?
Thanks a lot!
Because Cool Sensation uses a different A2SD script what A2SDGUI supports.
Thanks! Is there a comparable app on the market which does support my version of the A2SD script?
I don't know of any. Ask around in the thread. Maybe they can help you
Thank you for your help
Miui XJ a2sd 1.7.x was the first Miui i flashed on my desire, I tried activating the a2sd with the zipalign and cachesd commands but it didn't work.
Searching the internet for a fix i read that it's a common problem and flashing the darktremor a2sd script should fix the problem.
I searched everywhere but i couldn't find the script to download.
I then decided to flash the d2ext, but it was really slow, and i had some issues with deleting files.
In the end i gave up and returned to froyo.
Once again i flashed the Miui xj a2sd 1.8.12 in the hope that things will run different this time, but i ran out of memory very fast, my phone shows that i have only 20 MB of internal memory left, and the a2sd has like 450 MB.
I can't install anymore apps without seeing the low memory sign, so is there anyway to fix this?

Activate A2SD+ with commands from a terminal emulator
A2SD zipalign
A2SD reinstall - this did it for me.
Thanks alot for the help, that did work.
I tried the aligning first but didn't work, it said that the script didn't run on boot, so i used the reinstall command and now i have 90 MB free internal memory.
I'm going to install more apps to see if the a2sd is working, or if i have to do this everytime i run out of memory.
Nope. You can do this only once. Reinstall actived the a2sd for you - because before it was not loading properly.

you need to flash the cm7r2 market cache fix from the MIUI thread..
I tried using this ROM and even partitoned my SD card for stock HBoot. I had the following configuration : A2SD+ STOCK HBOOT - stock hboot - the one with 250 mB for /system
- 1 gB ext4 partition
When i tried "a2sd check" or "a2sd install" or any a2sd command, it says a2sd not found. M currently using MIUI and everything works perfectly ....
Just that i wanted to try out some sense roms. Also tried flashing DarkTremor's A2SD script but then it stuck on splash screen.
Can anyone plz let me know how can i basically achieve A2SD on this ROM and run the above commands either through Terminal Emulator or through shell. A pointer to a step by step giude would be awesome[Noob alert]
TIA
maybe the rom you are trying does not support ext4? have you checked that?
btw hboot does have nothing to do with your sd card
Yes it supports ext 4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016940
So can any1 plz give a me solution on this?
You don't need to do any A2SD+ commands or anything as a prerequisite for Insertcoin. All you have to do is make sure you download the right ROM for your HBOOT, partition 1GB EXT4. Full wipe and flash the rom. The rom itself will take care of moving stuff to the EXT during installation.
Hope this helps in any way.
Hey guys,
I installed Sandvold ICS Rom last week and experienced some problems with the a2sd script.
Everytime I try to run or install (whatever you want to call it) the integrated a2sd script with these lines of code:
To activate the built in a2sd:
open terminal and run these commands:
su
a2sd install
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the phone tells me this:
/sd-ext not mounted properly, it might have errors using /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 for the block device
Setting flag a2sd
/system/bn/a2sd:line 69: /sd-ext/.a2sd: Read-only file system
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The question is why am I experiencing this error with this rom. The previous rom was cmiui and it activated a2sd without any problems.
Also: What is mmcblk0p2? And do you have any clue why this file system is read-only? I formated the sd card with gparted and made a 512 mb ext3 partition, 0 swap and the rest of it is the usual sd-card memory.
Would be awesome if someone knows the answers
Should the 512 mB ext 3 partition be the first partition or the second?
Greetings,
Nerkata
Forgot to mention this: My phone is still s-on. Is that a problem?

Check the easiest solution first. Try installing with one of the other a2sd options (amarullz is the one that easiest to know if work as it will switch internal space with space on sd-ext)
Will try it out as soon as my friend brings back my desire^^
I'm just curious what caused this error, 'cause it seems to popped up randomly.
