The following information is for those who are still unsure of whether Apps2SD has been installed and if it is working correctly after root.
Open a Terminal Editor on your phone (I currently use ConnectBot, which is available for download via the Android Marketplace, comes with hotkeys, and it's free, link <here>).
When you have the client open, type "su" to gain super user access, and then hit enter. Now type "ls -l /data" and hit enter. You should see a few lines, a couple of which should read on the far right column:
dalvik-cache -> /system/sd/dalvik-cache
app-private -> /system/sd/app-private
app -> /system/sd/app
Notice the -> indicating symlinks and the 'sd'
You can also run: busybox df -h to check the /system/sd that the folder is being used
If this output is visible to you, then Apps2SD is working properly and you have installed it correctly. You will notice that by checking Menu > Settings > SD & phone storage, there is still some internal memory going down due to cache, other data, etc, but the main apps all go on the SD card given the above result. I currently have 29 apps installed (including Google Earth, which is 22.1 MB in size itself) and my internal memory currently shows 119MB of available space.
You can perform more extensive checks by executing the following command:
ls /system/sd/app (this will list all the apps which you have installed to the SD card)
If you prefer to run it from a PC with your phone connected, then this can also be checked via ADB by installing the relevant Android SDK for your OS. Downloads for SDK versions, link <here>.
Alternatively, you can use the script (written by theboxman from MoDaCo.com), which you can run via GScript Lite to test if Apps2SD is working correctly, link <here>.
how about unlock?
thank you for the info. btw, i havent seen in the forum if there a way to unlock the Desire form a certain network. any idea? sorry i know its the wrong place to ask and post this.
Hi Mastoid,
Could you tell me how exactly to run this from PC?
I've got the whole SDK installed but no idea what i have to do...open a prompt or something? Please inform as i'd really like to check.
You need to download the Android SDK and also Java.
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/widget/jdk6.jsp
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Then open a command prompt in Windows, plug in your Desire (your phone does not need to be in hboot/fastboot to access adb shell).
1) Open a command prompt on your computer and cd to your adb tools directory (it will be wherever you extracted the sdk; ie, c:\android-sdk_r04-windows\android-sdk-windows\tools
2) In that window enter the following commands:
adb shell
su
ls -l /data
this should list the top 2 items as:
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2010-04-28 22:54 app-private -> /system/sd/app-private
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2010-04-28 22:54 app -> /system/sd/app
ls -l /system/sd/app (will list apps on installed to your SD Card)
Now, for final proof, type:
busybox df -h

Great!
That worked, though the items you mention are not at the top but a couple of rows down. Busybox did show the apps installed on the SD.....ah, peace of mind
thx for the instructions!
no problem bud, glad it worked out for you

I posted a thread recently showing how to check if Apps2SD has been installed correctly and is working:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=677073
How to setup App2SD?
Anyone got a clear, easy guide on getting it working? Can you install it on the standard rooted ROM from MoDaCo? Do you need to have it cooked into a ROM?
A video or something would help but I'm interested in getting it setup incase I need to get a load of apps
î did your think i i use better terminal pro
app => system/sd/app
dalvik cache => /system/sd/dalvik cache
app private => /system/sd/ app private
so how can i have around 40mb left only?
Re: Question about APP2SD.....if anyone can answer
How many apps have you installed?
How have you partitioned your sd card? i.e. swap size?, ext2 size?
Have you applied the Apps2SD update zip?

ive got maybe 40/50apps
i partitionned , 66 cache 1280m EXT 2=> EXT3
and no update....i dont need with the latest modaco R2 custom rom do i?
im afraid to reboot everything again, spent the whole day to isntall everything
30mb left :x
Re: Question about APP2SD.....if anyone can answer
I would suggest that you apply the dalvik-cache update zip and that should hopefully fix it. Note that you should only allocate 512MB to 1024MB (max) for the ext2 size and, you do not require a swap of 66MB, it is not recommended. I have my swap set to 0MB, ext2 set to 512MB which is more than enough space for apps, and rest to FAT32.
Search google for the "Apps2SD mini guide" (found via MoDaCo website) click the link and scroll down to the bottom of page one, the update zip file is available there.

is it bad? (64 swap)
i calculated, i installed 170m worth of app. And i have "43" left (started at 138)
so , somewhere, APP2SD is working...but not verry effective
Re: Question about APP2SD.....if anyone can answer
I think it is working, run the command (ls /system/sd/app) in terminal editor in the link i posted earlier and check what apps are stored to the sd card. Also, download and install "cachecleaner" from the marketplace (free) to free up some cache space.

Re: Question about APP2SD.....if anyone can answer
You have something wrong. I have also this Rom with about 53 apps and have still 134MB free.
Sent from my HTC Desire
i installed the update.zip
i went from 38 to 53mb
then i use cache cleaner , i now have 60....
and still 170m worth of app...
so is my app2sd working in half?
Re: Question about APP2SD.....if anyone can answer
I ran the command in Su, and only the 2 app ones said sd, my dalvic cache didn't say SD card. I ran the suggested update fix but had bootloop, do I need to wipe anything first? I'm using evil 1. 0 Rom and thought it came pre app2sd. . .
Id like to get dalvic moved. . .
Thanks

Hey for some days now i have not been able to instal any apps, then i checked how much space i have left on the phone and it was 2mb. now here is the thing, i got 8 apps and they are together 5mb... I have tried to delete catch stuff etc and i got nothing more, so what happend to my storage space?
Appbrain
-Create an appbrain account
-Install appbrain on your phone
-Sync
-Go appbrain website and click 'My Apps'
Do this to double check what you have installed.
If you're rooted, what rom are you using?
To clean my cache, i use Cache Cleaner NG.
Copy paste from another post i just made.
This has always been a problem with my desire until i found out about AlphaRev. Now i've got 166MB free internal space. My suggestion is to install AlphaRev and modify the partition tables as listed in the tutorial on alpharev.nl. I would have posted a link but i can't post links yet.
From terminal emulator or adb shell type this (root required)
su
du -md 2 /data > /sdcard/data.txt
Then open your favourite file explorer and take a look at data.txt on your sdcard to find the culprit. In the file should be a list of directories and their size, just look for the biggest one.

Root your phone, and the go and Install Starburst ROM, its super fast, stable and I have 1.7gb of internal storage space to install apps
Make sure you have a class 4 SD card or better, trust me it will be the best thing you have done to your phone.
P.S dont forget to backup all your apps and stuff.

MICROMAX A87 NINJA 4.0 [DRIVER SOLVED / ROOTING / RAM INCREASE /HD GAMING MODS]
HI axai here...
i bought this fone ninja 4.0 that came with a ULTRA VIBRANT 4 inch WVGA 480x800 display that is MUCH MUCH MUCH better than the display of optimus black which claims to "outshine the sun"
this post is for the MICROMAX A87 [superfone ninja 4.0] users.this post will deal with..
1)rooting your device
2)increasing your RAM using 3 sure shot techniques to work
2)Enabling HD gaming to play nvidia TEGRA games like samurain 2 vengence, and mid level HD games like asphalt 5/6, driftmania and many more
to root your micromax a87
you need the drivers installed... and to get the method to clean installl the drivers not the old sdk and drivers.zip method follow this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33071477#post33071477
[ROOTING]
switch on your internet connect [not needed but preffered]
step 1:
now to assuming you followed the above post and drivers installed download unlockroot and install
make sure usb debugging is enabled in your phone.
go to settings/application/development to enable the debugging
step 2: connect the hone to your pc and run Unlockroot
step 3: click on root button
bingo!! you are rooted.
you can go to market and update your "superuser" app.
[INCREASING RAM AND SAVING PHONE MEMORY]
TO SAVE PHONE MEMORY:
in your phone applications and select preffered install location as SD card.
[TO INCREASE RAM SIZE AND PERFORMANCE]
step 1:
once rooted go to playmarket and download busybox app.... and use the app to install busybox latest version into your phone.
step 2:
download the attachment i gave called speed boost and install the app on your fone.
on your home screen add the speed boost widget.. its like a button and is very handy.
a click of this button frees ur memory ur fone actualli becomes amaxingly responsive with low lags
step3:
[This step may degrade ur memory card life..above two steps will sufficiently free your ram but this technique will give u that extra mb of ram apart from your phone ram using swapping technique]
Download an app called "swapper" from market and install
open the appp and grant the app permission [better to select remember this decision] for then if you have a 4 gb memory card...
select "active swap on boot".
enter the size in the box as 600 mb...make sure u have 1 gb of freespace on your memory card all the time. (if u have 8 gb cards u can use 900 mb too but make sure u have aroung 1 gb of extra free space on card)
click save..
Now itl take some time and you must have patience and wait...do not click anything because it is creating a swap file on your memory card.
once done deselect "active swap on boot".
click save and close the app..
again open the app, grant permission if it asks.
now select "active swap on boot"...it should show a message enabling swap.
NOW YOUR MEMORY CARD WILL BE USED AS 600 mb EXTRA RAM WEN U NEED IT DURING PLAYING HD GAMES WHAT I WILL TELL HOW TO IN NEXT SEGMENT.
Step 4:
DO THIS STEP ON YOUR OWN RISK....I HOLD NO RESPONSIBILITY>>>ONLY IF YOU ARE CONFIDENT DO THIS STEP ELSE SKIP TO NEXT GAMING SEGMENT..
[ above 3 steps will give sufficient ram to play games but this is one extra step you can do if you want ..can help you to recover more ram by DEFAULT]
install "root explorer" and download the "hololauncher.apk" and copy to sd card.
open root explorer and click on "mount R/W"
go to "sdcard" folder and go to place where you placed holo launcher.
copy it and come back to root folder and go to system/app and paste it
long hold on the file and change the permissions to rw-r--r--
in the same folder search for "MLabsLauncher.apk"... cut it and paste in in ur sd card...as a back up...
MAKE SURE U DO STEPS PROPERLY ELSE UR PHONE WILL HAVE TO BE FLASHED WITH STOCK ROM AGAIN..
NOW here we removed the default mlabs launcher by micromax that keeps running no matter what and uses 13Mb!!!! of RAM...and user a lighter ics clone "hololauncher"..
[HD GAMING ON A87]
assuming u followed the previous segment till step 3...i.e swaping process....now we proceed to turn the ninja to a gaming device..YES!! all HD gaming u need...
step 1:
Download and install CHAINFIRE 3D pro ....you will get the pro app after the google search just copy the .apk from computer to sd card and then install on your phone.
step 2:
there are 3 zip files inside the drivers.zip file...copy the 3 zip files to your root folder of sd card...
step 3:
open Chainfire 3d and in that select "CF3D driver" and select install driver or search driver....it will automatically search and install drivers
step 4:
to play a HD game.(ex: asphalt 6) install the game and open chainfire 3d.
go to "per-app openGL settings"
scroll the list and find the game (ex: asphalt6) and select it
ul get a menu...with default settings ticked....untick it and
select the following options:
"reduce texture quality"
"reduce texture size"
"disable mapbuffer emu"
"hide CF3D id"
thats it.... you have succesfully turned your MICROMAX A87 NINJA 4.0 to a HD gaming device (with a few lags at time) but hey better than NO GAMING ryt??!! and you have increased your phone RAM size "virtually"!! and you have increased your phone speed!!!
Remeber after closing games....click on that speed boost widget on your home screen twice or thrice !!
and in the games are crashing....open swapper...disable active swap and save...then again enable active swap and save... click widget twice...
I tried the game with few lags:
SAMURAI 2 VENGENCE
ASPHALT 5
ASPHALT 6
Drift Mania 2
Drift Mania
Raging Thunder 2
Battle bears
SkateBoard Party HD
NOVA HD
NOVA 2 HD

Boot screen stuck after successful root
I have followed the above tutorial and have successfully rooted my device. Everything worked like a charm....even installed superuser 3.0, busybox and swapper2 from playstore. Everything was working fine until i rebooted the device. When i restarted my ninja a87, it stuck at boot screen showing logo and :Superfone|Ninja4.0"
I tried to get into recovery several times, which seems finely working, though i though it may be corrupted, hence reinstalled it via command prompt from tutorial given here=>androidforums.com/a87-all-things-root/620430-flashing-stock-recovery.html

Method 1
1. I entered into recovery by pressing Vol up + power until logo appears.
2. first tried to "apply update from sdcard"
3. It gives me option => Yes-Install /sdcard/update.zip
4. It gives error "E:Can't open /sdcard.update.zip (no such file or directory) Installation aborted.
then i tried another method
Method 2
.1. I entered into recovery by pressing Vol up + power until logo appears.
2. Install zip from sdcard
3. Choose zip from sdcard
4. Selected " LQAEB28_2012-08-18_factory_update.zip"
then it confirms install
5. Yes-Install LQAEB28_2012-08-18_factory_update.zip
then it log following lines:

I tried to get into recovery several times, which seems finely working, though i though it may be corrupted, hence reinstalled it via command prompt from tutorial given here=>androidforums.com/a87-all-things-root/620430-flashing-stock-recovery.html
Everything seems same, and no change in boot stuck, i tried to flash the rom given here=>androidforums.com/a87-all-things-root/624879-flashing-stock-rom.html#post5017556
But unfortunately, it is giving me error.
After putting LQAEB28_2012-08-18_factory_update.zip onto sd card(formatted as FAT) in root of sdcard, i followed these steps:
Method 1
1. I entered into recovery by pressing Vol up + power until logo appears.
2. first tried to "apply update from sdcard"
3. It gives me option => Yes-Install /sdcard/update.zip
4. It gives error "E:Can't open /sdcard.update.zip (no such file or directory) Installation aborted.
then i tried another method
Method 2
.1. I entered into recovery by pressing Vol up + power until logo appears.
2. Install zip from sdcard
3. Choose zip from sdcard
4. Selected " LQAEB28_2012-08-18_factory_update.zip"
then it confirms install
5. Yes-Install LQAEB28_2012-08-18_factory_update.zip
then it log following lines:
--Installing: /sdcard/LQAEB28_2012-08-18_factory_update.zip

Only problem atm I'm having trouble getting the play store to work on it, but here's the link for the update:
http://tablet-update.com/CobyUpdate.php
I'm in the UK and it worked without a single issue, even though the guide says it upgrades to ice cream sandwich it actually updates to jelly bean
This link is for the google play store apk files, but I'm having trouble getting it to work right.

Update
In case anyone still wanted this information, this worked like a charm (remove spaces, I have insufficient posts for external linking):
http :// hotodi. com/ install-google-play-on-cobys-jelly-bean-tablets/
Again, my tablet hasn't been rooted and it now runs Jelly Bean and the Play Store. Happy days
It is only version 3.7.11 of the store, but after trying to install a newer version from the above link (which failed to install), I'm just going to wait and see if it updates itself over time.
I'm happy at the moment

If this does not work for you please use the following to update and or restore , this will be 4.1 with working root and play store
Download from this link ,
https://www.dropbox.com/s/fixhl34x7qr13v6/1125.zip?dl=0
Copy entire 1125.zip folder to desktop
Extract 1125.zip to desktop
Install PdaNetA4170.exe driver ( This should allow you to transfer files with Fastboot )
This is Version 4.17 installer for Windows 8/7/Vista/XP (both 32/64bit)
Extract CWM recovery img_1125 folder to desktop by itself ( Do not remove any files from this folder )
Move zip files from zips folder to micro sd card and insert sd into tablet ( leave these in zip format !! )
coby_gapps.zip
coby_mid1125-seed-0012.zip
Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
Also move apks from apks folder to MicroSD card
Uni-init+v1.0.apk
Google_Play_serv.ices-signe.d .apk
Busybox.apk
Link2sd.apk
and
market-helper-2.0-beta.apk ( this will allow spoofing of market for not compatible apps )
Open cmd window
( menu , run , when window opens , enter “cmd” without quotes )
Cd to directory
ie ,
type in window
cd desktop , ( enter )
cd CWM recovery img_1125 ( enter )
Now place 1125 into fastboot mode , power ( or reset button ) and volume down , tablet will show fastboot mode in lower left corner
Plug in usb cable to pc and tablet
Then in cmd prompt type
fastboot boot recovery.img ( enter )
It will show some stuff , flash ok and done ok
Tablet should boot to CWM give it a moment to do so ( You will see CWM Recovery Top hat and such )
Volume up is up , Volume down is down , Home ( Silver Button ) is select
Go to and select flash zip from sd card
This will pull up menu of following zip files
Flash each zip file
coby_mid1125-seed-0012.zip
coby_gapps.zip
Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
Select reboot
Tablet will boot ,again give it a moment ( You will see Coby and then Android splash screen )
Select language from first screen ( as it will be in Dutch ), finish setup of tablet
Open ES File Explorer , go to tools setting in ES File Explorer and select
“Root Explorer” to on , allow when Super User prompt shows , this will prove SU is installed and working
Open ES File Explorer , Select sdcard top right , Select storage
Install Google_Play_serv.ices-signe.d .apk ( To sync Play Store )
Install Busybox.apk
Install Link2sd.apk
Install Uni-init+v1.0.apk
Open Uni-init+v1.0.apk , install intd support
( you will need busybox installed first for this to work )
You now have working Play Store , Superuser and Android 4.1 with Intd support
For Extended memory ,( You need this )
Increase Internal Memory by Link2SD : Min 2 GB microSD
In order to add memory to Coby 1125, your micro SD card used for install will need to be formatted
Copy all files you wish to keep from micro SD to desktop as it will be wiped
• Backup all your files on memory card.
• Go into the Recovery Mode ( as above , fastboot boot recovery.img ) ( Your operating system will be fine )
• Make a nandroid backup at this time
• Select “Advanced”, and then choose “Partition SD Card”.
• Then Choose your size ( if you have a 2GB Memory Card, choose 512 MB, and if you have a 4 GB Memory card, you can choose 1024 MB, ext ).
• Select 0 Swap.
• Wait for the process to finish, and then select Reboot
You’ve just made a partition on your memory card, and its ready to use.
Now follow the steps below for Link2SD
• Open Link2SD. You will be prompted to choose between ext2,ext3,ext4 and FAT32.
• Choose ext2
• Select OK ,
• It will then say, “Mount Script Created”.
• Now you Reboot your Tablet
• Open Link2SD again, if any message does not appear ,it means you succeeded.
• Go to Link2SD > Setting( far right top icon ) scroll down > Check the autolink. (to automatically move apps upon installation).
If you already have some apps listed , select “create link” ( be sure to check the files: app, dalvic-cache, and library files).
Move to SD option only moves app to SD it does not link them
Now to check the memory, select “Storage Info” . this will be showing you up the current status of your internal memory.
You should see as below SD Card 2nd Part
To move a system App you can long press App , it will pull up menu , select convert to user App let it do its thing
Select App again and it will open option to create link as installed user apps do
So far I have moved Calculator , VPN , Music FX , ES File Explorer and Sound Recorder with no issue
Use Link2Sd and (long press) on SystemUpdate.apk ( /system/app/SystemUpdate.apk ) and freeze app.
This will stop System Update from happening at random moments or on reboot
There is no Update to install though the System thinks so (without freezing it will continue to show updates available)
Can anyone reupload files? Links are dead...
Anyone still have these files? Is Jelly bean the latest Coby MID1125 can have?
