A2SD not found

Hi everyone.
After using pretty much all the main roms, I've decided to revert back to Teppic's pre-rooted stock Froyo rom.
I've installed his ROM and apps2sd + v1.4 with no problems. I presume apps2sd is clearly working (internal memory is 99mb after installing about 20 apps) however, when using Terminal Emulator the following occurs:
Su
A2sd cachesd
A2sd: not found
A2sd
A2sd: not found
I've tried searching everywhere and cannot find an answer. It obviously means a2sd is not installed, but who can explain the internal memory?

a2sd check
or a2sd reinstall

Same problem...a2sd not found
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

I have the same problem but with LeeDroid. Reason is my internal memory is almost 0 with perhaps 20 applications installed. I do have a2sd diskinfo in QSI but I feel it's like it works only half the time with the a2sd functions :/

Partition your sd-card again on this way:

I have the same problem on Gingervillain with a partition sd..
any idea?

I get "permission denied"!
EDIT: My bad! I forgot to enter "su" first. But I'm now getting "not found".

[Q] Leedroid Gingerbread A2SD+ complaining about insufficient storage

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?

[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.

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.

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] A2SD+ with Runnymede V5 installed

I have installed the Runnymede rom of Sebastiaan yesterday. I chose for the A2SD+ script at the installation. But the script will not run right. My telephone tells me i have left 10MB of my internal memory.
I have installed this rom as following:
- installed 4EXT recovery
- Made a EXT4 partition of 1.5GB for my SD-EXT (the rest 6.5GB is for SD)
- Did make a full wipe
- Installed the rom
- Installed the SNQ kernel
- Started up the rom
Some extra phone information:
hboot 6.93.1002 (s-off)
cm7 hboot
Kingston 8GB class10 (1.5GB SD-EXT / 6.5GB SD)
I made no changes after i started the rom. Does anyone recognize what i am doing wrong?
If you need more information, please ask me!
Regards,
Niels

Open a terminal emulator on your phone and run
Code:
su
ls -l /data
Post the output here.

Here is the output:

Important ouput is this one:
Code:
app -> [B]sd-ext[/B]/app
app-private -> [B]sd-ext/[/b]app-private
So based on this output A2SD is working. What's missing is, that the dalvik cache is not moved to EXT partition of SD card. Check rom's thread if there is a script for this.

There is a script for that, i think that works. But the problem is solved with another solution. I choose at the installation of the new runnymede for A2SDX instead of A2SD+ so now i have lots of memory space.
Thanks for your help!

Problem with app2sd on Sandvold ROM ICS for Desire

Hi guys,
I installed the ROM and type the commands like in the guide (su - a2sd install). After the reboot I type "df" in the terminal and I can see that the apps are both in the "data" folder in the internal memory and in the "data/app" folder in the partition on the SD memory.
If I install some application this are installed both in the two (SD and internal) memory.
In my opinion the apps must be only in the SD partition and not in the internal memory, anyone can help me? please
bye
Jerry

I have resolved installing the darktremor app2sd script. It works perfectly.
