So I followed the directions perfectly for installing DarkTremor's App2SD, installed my ROM, and when I started installing apps, they were installing to the phone memory instead of on the SD. Did I miss something?? When I mount the disk on my computer, and check properties, I find no partitions.
Did you partition the sdcard or just flash dta2sd?

I did the partitioning like it said in the instructions, chose 1024 MB for my partition and 32 MB for my swap file, then did the upgrade from ext 2 to ext 3...then I flashed the program, then installed the ROM, kernel and restarting and started installing apps, but they were installing to the internal mem, not the SD card. I couldn't see the partition in TIbackup either. I'm trying again now from scratch.
Go into terminal emulater and type
su then hit enter then type
a2sd reinstall hit enter again
This should move all your apps to the partition for more commands you can use
su
a2sd help
That will give you a list of commands you can run with dta2sd.

Also you can look in titanium backup and it should show you your partition space and how much is being used.

I just noticed your post you have to flash dta2sd after you flash the ROM not before or else it wont be on the ROM.

No just go back to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache and flash dta2sd and you'll be fine.

What ROM are you on and what version of dt did you flash the stable or beta4?
I've had problems like that on aosp ROMs running the dta2sd beta4 so I've switched to the stable version.

I tried the A2SD reinstall command in TE, and got permission denied on every single line. I'm running SnS 1.6, and I flashed the beta 4. I'm now not quite sure that my ROM officially supports A2SD, but the apps are moving to the SD, and run w/o a problem.

Make sure to type "su" before you run any command to allow it super user permission.
You could also try the stable version of dta2sd.

Sorry, new to this A2SD thing....wasn't typing su....did the reinstall, and the phone rebooted. Got about 3/4 of the widgets to load properly this time, but not all still. Wallpaper didn't revert to stock though, so we must be making some kind of progress. A2SD check in TE says everything is fine.

the only thing I can think of for the widgets not showing is they might have been moved to android-secure and not to your partition .

Hi, I've installed the starburst rom on my desire and, once in a while, it reboot spontaneously by itself. It did this with the 1.2.0 and the old data2sd, I wiped and flashed the 1.3.0 with the new data2sd script and it kept doing it, then the same problem even wiping again and flashing the 1.3.2. I'm using a 8 gb SD with a little less than 2gb ext4 partition and the rest a primary fat32, done from Linux. Any idea?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
have you flashed a custom kernel?
i use starburst since 1.20 and never had problems like this....
you are also sure you did the installation right?
remember at reboot to do nothing except of entering the pin

No, I'm not using a custom kernel and yes, I did the installation right. Wipe->flash the rom->reboot, select the language->reboot in recovery->installed data2sd script
Beside this problem the rom is working fine, it's fast, tested with quadrant I got a 1970 score. This thing is seriously pissing me off...
I am using the latest version 1.3.2 and do not have any problems. You mention your partitions in the wrong order, is your fat 32 partition first?

Yes, the primary partition is fat32.
Besides this reboot problem sometimes the phone tell me "The process com.htc.gbc (or something like that) has stopped working". What does this mean? Are these two issues connected?
The processes's name is com.htc.bgp

ok so lets try a few things. First lets try to fix permissions since miui is a asop rom. If that doesn't work make sure you wipe the dalvik cache, card partition, and data factory reset if your using rom manager. Also data factory reset when flashing a totally new rom not an update. If this doesn't work flash back to an older rom and see if this works. If not we will need to flash back to stock rooted to see if that fixes the problem.
I just flashed the stock rooted and it worked. I really like my miui setup and dot feel like wiping data since I don't connect it to the computer that much. But How do I check permission tho?

You need to partition the SD Card if the Rom is A2SD enabled, and you want to use it. Yes it should be done before you flash the Rom. You should also find out what type of partition. Does the the Rom call for an ext.3 , or ext4 partition. If you are going to partition your SD Card you need to make a backup on the PC first. Partitioning the SD Card will wipe the card clean.

Not all Roms will work. If the Rom is built so that a2sd is enabled automatically, it will not work correctly. Things will be missing. You can have FC issues. In some cases I've had them not even Boot. So it is better to have the SD Card partitioned before you Flash if the ROM calls for it.

all the partitioning gets done thru recovery.
so where within recovery is partition actually done?
Hey guys, noob here. I am going to be flashing my phone today too.
Death by soaps mod seems to be what I am looking for, but I just want to make sure I am doing everything right.
I have turned s-off with revolutionary and backed up everything with both clockworkmod and smelkusmod and saved everything on my computer.
I am not 100% sure how to continue with partitioning and flashing though. Do you have a recommended guide partitioning and flashing with your mod? I have found some general guides, but they are for other mods and I dont want to screw anything up.

Ok. Simple.
1. Move everything on your sd card to your comp.
2. Use smelkusmod as its the best.
3. Go to partition card or something to that extent.
4. Set your desired size, 1 or 2 gigs is good enough, depending on how many apps you have/use.
5. Set swap to 0
6. Wait for it to partition.
7. Upgrade ext from 2 to 3 to 4.
8. Put all your stuff back on the sd card.
Flashing
1. Use format all/superwipe option in wipe menu of smelkus to wipe.
2. Go to flash zip or something like that.
3. Select the file and confirm.
4. Wait for it to do its thing then reboot.
Done!

If I want to mess around with any other mods is there anything special I should do first? Or just repeat the same steps (partition, superwiper, flash)?

Nope no need to partition again. That's done. Also you dont need to wipe for mods unless the OP states it.
For Roms, however,(what you just flashed) always do a full wipe/ superwipe and if going between versions of sense and aosp, always wipe the sd ext.
For kernels always wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing.

Hi, I have a problem where the phone only allows me to install about four 3-4mb apps before is says 'storage space is running low'. This has been the case for a long time over many roms.
Tried with and without an 1gb ext4 partition on a 16gb and 32gb memory card. Roms tried include most ICS, JB 4.1 and JB 4.2. Have also tried with a2sd and without. Result: no changes.
Am currently on Nikez's 4.2 roms.
I hope there is a solution...

Exactly after flashing the rom, flash this:

It should get you a lot more space by also moving dalvik cache to sd-ext (no need for terminal commands anymore)

MW9.5 is very stable. How did you partition your SD card? Suggest you to wipe everything, re-partition if needed and flash. Everything should be working just fine.
Alternatively, you can try other MW ROMs like the one based on CM or oxygen. They're working perfectly too.

You are probably low on space because you are still on stock hboot.
Nandroid backup and change hboot using fastbout commands, search for guides. There are custom hboots posted in that thread if your search. Or just use something like cm7r2 hboot.
512mb is also quite small, you can use at least 1gb.
Check everything is working by installing another app like diskusage to browse all your partitions.
