[Solved] Does the a2sd+ work on Miui XJ a2sd?

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.

[tutorial] make more space in internal memory with link2sd

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.
sent using tapatalk

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 ****??

[Q] Miui XJ a2sd+ disk full but plenty of space left

I'm running the a2sd+ version of the latest Miui XJ rom.
In the beginning there were no issues but today I tried installing/upgrading a few apps and I'm getting the "not enough space to install this application" error.
Even though I have:
+300MB of 2,73GB left on my SD card,
A2SD: 880MB of 940MB left
Internal Memory: 210MB of 291MB left
System Storage: 14,59 of 145MB left
System cache 3,46 of 5MB left
Memory 196MB of 406MB left.
I had to manually move the installed applications to the SD disk.
I was under the impression that when using the A2SD+ rom that it did all of this automaticly.
What is wrong with this rom or a2sd+?
I also tried the following (from the Miui-XJ thread)
- Type su
- Type a2sd zipalign
- Type a2sd cachesd
- You may even need to do a2sd reinstall
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

And what happens?
Did you do "a2sd reinstall" ?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

yes I did an a2sd reinstall as well. I'm still getting the disk full error.

How many apps you have installed?

I don't know the solution but I have/had the same issues.
Until now a simple reboot fixed it all the time for me...
Would be nice to know what's causing it though.

I have 23 apps installed.

Wipe, reflash, reinstall, cachesd, try again?

Try a2sd reinstall, reboot to recovery, wipe dalvik cache and boot.

I installed the X-PART version now and everything seems to be ok now, Apps wise.

Something weird about MIUI 'n A2SD

Hello Xda'ers,
Recently I installed the MIUI 1.10.8 ROM.
I noticed that A2SD said 0.00 so I partitioned it.
Now it says 458MB at the A2SD section.
But what to do now?
Can't move a lot of apps to SD.
With kindest regards,
Mendel

youve kind of answered your own question, just move the apps that you CAN move to the sd
but if youre really looking for lots of space try data2sd

Hey Elliot,
First of all thanks for the quick response.
Do you mean move to SD like to old way? (Select app -> move to SD)
Because it doesn't say there is more space then normal (On the bottom there is a bar of internal memory). When I move apps to SD it's no different then else (like on stock rom).

if you are looking to make your internal memory increase, then you need data2sd
i would recommend the supernova rom for that
data2sd will basically use an extpartition on your sd card as internal memory
p.s. you can always use the thanks button to say thanks

I figured it out.
I had to activate it in the terminal.
Now i can have infinite apps
Can't find the thanks button, im a noob. where is it?

How to activate A2SD+ in MIUI 1-12.23 via terminal?
Hi XDA,
Its my 1st post on the forum.
My Phone: HTC Desire GSM on Orange.
Rooted. S-Off. MIUI 1-12.23.
Kerell: 2.6.3.7.6-cyangenmod-g8913be3
Baseband: 32.48.00.32U_5.10.05.30
I have recently installed MIUI ROM version 1-12. to 23. I have a 16GB SD partitioned ext3 using Revolutionary recovery. (I used Revolutionary to gain S-OFF)
The Partition went smooth, I created 1.5gb ext3 and 64mb swap.
When booted into MIUI it registers as A2SD+ 1.5GB. Success.
I install my apps and run out of internal space at which poitnt I expect my apps to auto install on the ext partition that I had created. This doesn't happen, why?
Ive searched the XDA forums for the answers but have yet to find a solution.
Do I have to activate A2SD via terminal? if so how? What cmds should I enter?
Id be grateful for a guide to activate A2SD on my device.
Thaks guys!
mcshooter

To activate the built in a2sd:
open terminal and run these commands:
su
a2sd install
To move dalvik cache do:
a2sd cachesd
Hope this helps mate

[Q] MIUI 1.10.14 and A2SD+

Hi,
Having a lot of problems gettting A2SD+ to work on MIUI 1.10.14.
I have an 8gb SD card with a 1gb EXT4 partition.
When I install, apps don't seem to be going there, they go to the internal memory.
I looked through various forum postings and found a number of terminal commands to type in (e.g. check, reinstall, zipalign and cachesd) and have done all those.
Dalvik seems to have moved, internal memory went from 90mb post rom install, to about 134mb. However, next app I installed was a 20mb app and having installed it my internal memory has gone down by about 20mb.
is the problem the EXT4 partition? when it did the check it seemed to indicate ext4 support, but does it work?
What else can I try?
Had cyanogen 7 before this and the S2E system that uses worked exceptionally well, but I prefer MIUI as the rom.
Many thanks in advance
Matt.

hav u tried the command a2sd reinstall in terminal, that moves the apps to sd ext, also if u type à2sd help, it will tell you all the commands u can use with terminal.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Thanks for that.
Yes I had tried the a2sd commands recommended in a number of posts including the reinstall one.
However, doing an a2sd check and reviewing it carefully did make me see that the data was still in internal memory, and then an a2sd help revealed it was possible to move that too - so an a2sd datasd later and now i'm back to 143 out of 147 on the internal memory, and new app installs are NOT affecting internal memory usage.
Brilliant.
Cheers!
Matt.

Next time read MIUI Thread.
SwiftKeyed from CyanogenMod with Transparent XDA App

I guess you should create an ext3 partition and try. I have MIUI with A2SD+ working perfectly with a 512 MB Ext3 partition.
