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

Hey I recently changed from an insertcoin a2sd rom where I had over 100mb worth of system space after moving most apps to SD. I've now moved the Cyanogenmod 7 which lets you move all apps to SD but I only have 55mb of space?
Is there any way to increase this space?

You did already flash a2sd script, didn't you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10675412&postcount=2
If yes, go s-off and flash cm7 hboot:

Nice guide how to this;

MatDroid, thanks. This also helps me.
I didn't realise you needed to flash a2sd in addition to the CyanogenMod 7 or CM7, which I am using. I switched from Leedroid, and it looks great.
I am getting low disk space warnings.
So, can I flash the Google or CyanogenMod A2SD they are talking about here AFTER I've been using the new Rom for a couple of days?
Second question, will this automatically manage my apps from internal to external storage for me?
Thanks!
Why not use something like Rom Manager to partition your sd card and s2e?
After flashing darktremor's A2SD script, I recommend to download a2sdGUI from market. With this program you are able to move apps and dalvik-cache to EXT partition. After a successfull reboot all apps you installed and the dalvik-cache are moved to EXT and all new apps will be automatically moved there.
To make sure everything worked (after the named reboot), you should download a terminal emulator from Market and enter these commands:
Code:
su
ls -l /data
Post the output here.
Great information!
Can I flash Darktremor's script after I've been using the CyanogenMod? Or do I need to reflash the ROM and start over from the beginning?
Where's a good place to go for Darktremor's script?
Thanks
Should work even you used the rom for a while. But make a nandroid backup, just in case. Check cyanogenmod-thread here on xda.
here is the link for the script http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=719151
yh you have to start from the beginning. wipe everything, than flash the rom and flash the script straight after
Cyanogenmod like to use thisapp2sd [Script/APK] S2E (simple2ext): app2sd for CyanogenMod7
As far as I know, after flashing the script (which I can highly recommend) the OP can follow my guide without wiping anything. Nevertheless, backups (Titanium Backup + Nandroid) should be created before doing anything!!
Thanks MatDroid, this helped a lot.
Hello there!Im new on forum and i have an HTC Desire A 8181 device...Yesterday i was trying to root my device in order to add the MIUI 1.9.23 Rom...All goes well...I root my phone using the Revolutionary HBoot - S-Off and the rom starts and runns fine...My problem is that i have a 4GB SD Card Partitioned on 1.5GB A2SD and when im going to install an app the app goes to the internal space and not on the sd...What can i do?Can anyone please help me?
P.S : Sorry for my bad english...:/
-Kind regards John
Use search button and activate a2sd+
In terminal emulator:
su
a2sd reinstall
Or flash the D2EXT version of the rom and never think about a2sd again
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.

I guess you should create an ext3 partition and try. I have MIUI with A2SD+ working perfectly with a 512 MB Ext3 partition.
I have installed the LeeDroid ROM v3.3.3 Port R5 on my Desire and I downloaded the A2SDGUI app from the market. But it gives an error saying phone is not rooted (which it obviously is) or A2SD scripts not found or ext partition not found. How do I make this app run on my phone? I have Superuser installed and A2SDGUI is given permission. Kindly help.
Thanks in advance!
Did you configure your SD Card with a FAT32 and an EXT partition?
Yes I did. I have followed all instructions given for LeeDroid's ROM properly. I used GParted Live CD to make the FAT32 partition and a 1gb ext3 partition on my SD card.
Followed guide on Leedroid thread to get A2SD working?
You know a2sdGUI only works with Dark Tremor a2sd scripts? I dont think leedroid uses Dark Tremor.
@Matdroid
Before installing LeeDroid I had created the ext3 partition. I presume A2SD is working because my apps are installed to the ext3 partition and not in the internal memory. Do I have to do anything else?
@rootsu
Then A2SDGUI wont work on my phone?

Not right now. Not without the Dark Tremor a2sd+ Solution in place.
If you followed leedroid guide for A2SD+, you don't need A2SDGUI.

The only reason I was looking for the A2SDGUI was to try to move the dalvik cache to ext partition. Or is it already in the ext partition in LeeDroid ROM? I dont know.
Also inspite of having a ext partition my internal memory is getting reduced bit by bit with every app that I install. I thought I had got rid of the 'lack of internal memory to install apps' problem by having an ext partition. What data is occupying the internal memory now?

Apps still take up the space on Internal memory. Thats the way it is.
You have to flash the dalvik cache script in the leedroid thread, post 1
Like Mat said, if you read the thread, you would know the answer.
I have downloaded the 'move dalvik to sd.zip' file from LeeDroid's thread. I read somewhere that A2SDGUI also does the job so I wanted to try it out. I guess I will just flash the zip now. Thanks for your replies.

As stated many times, A2SDGUI does the work... with DarkTremor's script, but Leedroid's ROM does not have it.
This place can be so much hard work sometimes

Appreciate all you guys taking the trouble of answering my questions. I really have very little knowledge of rooting and stuff. Just venturing in this field. So far I have managed to read the guides posted here and root and install a custom ROM. Now trying to understand dalvik cache and stuff.
Thanks once again.
Hello,
First, i'm sorry for my bad english ^^.
Since 2 weeks, i installed the BETA of ICS 4.0.3 on my Desire, and with the build 0.3.2, that works perfectly.
But i have a problem with my space storage. I installed some applications and i have only 20 mb free on my Desire.
I tryied app2sd, but with this appli, we must move application to SD manually, and there are already some "datas" on the telephone. All the application was not moved.
I would like to try S2E but it's only for cyanogen. The marked said me my mobile is not compatible with S2E.
Thank's in advance for your help,
Check / search the ICS-thread. You will find solutions for your problem there.
Thanks for your help.
You can use for this ROM the app "a2sdgui" (look in the market), but i think you have to install the darktremor script over the recovery in the first step.
Are you using a stock hboot? you could get more space by choosing other hboot option (eg Hboot CM7 r2) which re-allocate your phone internal space to optimal.
Also, try to build ext4 partition on your sd card and mount as internal memory.
You have three options as I see it; Darktremor, Amarullz and built-in apps2sd. DT has sound issues if you move dalvik cache to SD Card, Amarullz lags like crazy even though I have class 10 SD Card. The stock apps2sd is the best choice out of three.
Use Terminal Emulator and run
su
a2sd install
To move dalvik cache to SD Card
su
a2sd cachesd
Hi,
I've just this weekend installed starburst froyo for htc desire ROM on my desire.
For just this problem, to little space left on internal memory.
After installation i now have a cool 1.8GB of internal memory to install everything i want.
On my class 4 sdcard i have little to no lag. Thinking about upgrading to class 10, just to get ride of the last lag.
Maybe, starburst is something for you to ?
Grtz.
I think the builtin a2sd is the better solution. I have a SD memory of 4go but it's a class 2 only...
I am thinking about buy a class 4 memory... it's only 7€ for 8go.
Thanks all for your messages ^^
Edit :
I can't post in the developper section, so i post here. I have a little bug with the beta of ICS. When i zoom in on a picture, i can't zoom out correctly... There is a bug.
