I have just installed insercoin 1.0.7 and i want to know that does Darktremor Apps2SD works with this tom???
If not then how can i move data and cache to SD???
Darktremors a2sd won't work with insertcoin.
To use a2sd, you have to download the a2sd version of insertcoin. But before flashing, partition your sd card:
http://insertcoin.baadnwz.eu/wiki/Apps/Data_2_SD/EXT
Now flash insertcoin a2sd. I think now all apps you install should be moved to sd card (does not matter wether they are programmed for this or not). But i could not find a script, which moves dalvik cache to sd. So the internal memory will still gets fulled. Furthermore, not all parts of the apps will be moved to sd ext, a small "stays" in internal memory.
If you want to move nearly all data on your sd, you need the data++ rom of insertcoin. How to get used to it:

I know that when i have A2SD+ and a well-partitioned sdcard, I don't even need to modInstallLocation. All apps I installed will just go to EXT partition of the sdcard. But when I'm installing some games, I find that some apps will still install to the EXTERNAL sdcard(on the fat32 partition) and I don't want this to happen!! I have A2SD+, so I want all my apps can install on my EXT3 partition!! I tried setting the modInstallLocation to 1[internal], and reinstalling the app, but it still shows up in the sdcard!! Not on the phone with the A2SD+ EXT partition! It's in the .android_secure folder!!!!
Maybe it's a bug of modInstallLocation, or it's my misunderstanding of the purpose of modInstallLocation? I suppose when I have A2SD+, I should set the modInstallLocation to 1[internal] so that my apps will try to install on the internal phone memory, but actually on the EXT partition with A2SD+. Is that correct?
And if so, what's the problem??
Move it back to internal then, it'll use the a2sd+ setting.
Set it to auto, the apk will be on the ext, many games and apps will store data on the sd as they require a large amount of space

have you partitioned your sd card correctly?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=SD_card_partitioning
check your roms original thread to see what sort of partition you need.
which ROM do you have... and was A2SD+ part of the ROM, or sth you added?
I think I read somewhere that some A2SD+ implementations don't move the Dalvik cache over to SD. The (easiest) method to add dalvik to SD likely depends on the A2SD implementation.
Use S2E , download it from Market.
thanks.
what is better for a2SD, ony ext3 or ext3 and swap???
The a2sd script in Cool's AceS v1 does move the dalvik cache to the sd card, so most likely the card isn't formatted correctly. I suggest you use gparted or a similar tool to format your card like this: first the FAT partition, then the ext 2/3 one (note that some roms require you to have an ext 4 partition, but this is not the case of AceS; anyway, make sure you read the thread thoroughly before flashing). Also, make sure the ext partition is no larger than 2048 MB (i.e. 2 GB), since you might experience market problems. Swap is not used by most roms you'll want to flash these days, so don't worry about it too much, unless the thread mentions so.
Just to mention, S2E is only for cyanogen mod, as it's stated in the app's description, so don't use it with other roms (which have other a2sd scripts). Also, before formatting, don't forget to backup your data
Good luck!

Hello guys!
i'm new here just want to say that it's probably the best site for modding.
I have a desire with Ginger sense ROM.
Link2sd is free on the market. Uses ext and fat partitions. I have link2sd on my Kyocera Zio m6000 which only has a total of 180mb in data and I have 137mb free. Link2sd allows you to create a symbolic link for app data dalvik-cache and lib files of the app you want to move to SD. Plus with the symbolic links you get to keep your Widgets.

Dalvik Cache will take up space on "Internal storage" by default on some A2SD + ROMs, but it can be moved
You can move this by running "terminal emulator" from the market and typing:
Code:
su
a2sd cachesd
or with adb:
Code:
adb shell
a2sd cachesd

please note that davebugyi's suggestion only works if you're using the Darktremor a2sd script
hi, i was just wondering if someone can tell me the benefit of cm7 over a2sd please, im S-OFF so no problems changing, but just wanted to know the differences. and also which is better, insertcoin or rcmix??
cheers.
I think I read a possible speed increase with cm7
Different system partition sizes..
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
ok so what the big deal about the system partition being bigger.. what does that mean in real world case?
In the a2sd apps and dalvik are on sd because there is no much space
In cm7, apps are on SD ,but dalvik cache is on internal.
Dalvik is the virtual machine that runs on android to provide that java environment(behind that is Linux). Also internal memory is faster on read/write even from a class 10 SD card. That way we take advantage of the internals speed , which makes the Rom a lot faster. Also since the ext partition is used only for apps, there is more space available for more apps than a2sd

Cm7 does not officially support a2sd. Even if you have an ext partition on sd card, you also have to run a special script or program(strange issues occur here sometimes). This is why it's recommened to have cm7 hboot when you run cm7 rom, because with cm7 hboot you do not need a2sd because of the big /data partition.
Furthermore, as far as i know the difference between a2sd and a2sd+ is the following:
a2sd: only apps will be moved to sd card
a2sd+: apps and cache will be moved to sd card.

So. if we're in cm7, it would defeat the purpose if we use mcr scripts to move dalvik cache to sd? It's just that I noticed an increase in internal storage space. Is that not a good thing?

that is true indeed, but insertcoin gb cm7 used a2sd while the stock hboot uses a2sd+. I was talking specifically for these roms , not for cm7, but the cm7 hboot gingersense roms
Hi
I have installed the Aces V4 ROM on my HTC Desire (HBOOT CM7/R2) and I have run out of internal storage when installing apps from Market. I didnt experience this problem when using V3 of Aces for the same number of apps installed.
This is what I have done:
1) Wiped everything
2) Formatted SD Card
3) Partitioned SD Card (Swap 0, ext-3 1024 mb), rest FAT32
4) Run Alignment_Cool_2.zip to change ext-3 to ext-4 and then re-align ext-4
5) Flash Aces V4 Rom
6) Flash Gingercakes0.8b_bfs Kernel
7) Installed weather_pack_new
What do i need to do to get 1gb of internal memory? I've read up a bit on data2ext but not sure if that's the right thing to do because I can only a CM7/R2 HBOOT version of the Aces v4 rom.
Many thanks in advance,
Shaximinion.
I dont think you can have a 1GB Internal memory on the HTC Desire. It only has 512mb i swere?
No you can there is stuff on data2ext have a read it partitions part of your SD Card.... but i cant find any clear guides on how to do it with the Aces V4 rom....
Hi all
I have now resolved the Low Internal Memory issue by flashing A2SD.KD after flashing the rom. Takes ages to become stable on first boot but then runs perfectly - and fluidly with Gingercakes v0.8b Kernel

Hellllpppp!!!
I have a desire running CM7.1 and i only have 50 mb of space left. I am 100 percent sure about what i am doing and I was wondering if you know of a simple method to gain more internal memory. I partitioned my sd card already (I think it is ext3) but my phone isn't seeing it as internal memory, which was the whole point of my partitioning it. It is really frustrating because the desire is an excellent phone, its just the storage that lets it down.
Thanks
Mark

the phone won't see the ext partition as internal memory by default, so will remain at 147MB if you're on stock hboot. to use the partition with CM7 i believe you can flash an A2SD script such as darktremor (even afterwards it won't 'increase', the system is fooled into thinking apps are on internal when they are actually on the ext partition).
i found reading this useful
to actually increase the internal memory, you can flash a different partition table (requires S-OFF), or use a data2sd script where the ext partition is actually mounted as part of internal memory
I wiped my SD card, partitioned it with a 512MB ext3 (via Amon RA), reflashed cyanogen 7.2 ...
I thought CM had 'built in' a2sd -> ext, but even after moving apps to SD, my ext partition is still totally empty!
It's actually moving my apps to .android_secure on the FAT partition!
And installing apps is filling up my internal memory ...
Do I need to enable ext usage in CM?
Help!
im not sure about cm, but i know in other roms iv used you had to use terminal and type the following:
su[ENTER]
a2sd reinstall[ENTER]
if your not sure you can always flash dt a2sd and do the above and go from there. Also... why only 512mb ext3 partition? i got a 32gb card and used a 3gb ext3 partition. i wanted to make sure i NEVER ran out of space for apps. I dont remember if i saw it there, did you upgrade your ext2 to an ext3 partition via AMON-RA? in case you need dt a2sd here is the link.

I see, thanks, didn't know had to 'activate' it.
But in the meantime, I installed S2E (from Market) – now my ext is filling up –*but my internal is still down to 83MB!
I think I figured it out -- it's my app data (/data/data 130MB) and dalvik cache (/data/dalvik-cache 107MB) that are still internal.
