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.

I have been having nothing but problems with A2SD I decided to partition my EXT3 to 2GB and at first installed leedroid and have since moved to OxygeN both obviously show only around 120mb when I start phone I understand this. It doesn't show A2SD so I install quick system info that says I have 1.99GB A2SD storage. OK move to the future and I have around 14 apps installed and have ran out of space on my phone. internal storage 16.05mb A2SD free 1.85GB the phone is not installing apps to the SD card. It was the same for leedroid and for OxygeN. I have nearly all my A2SD space available. I have no apps moved to SD using Froyo-A2SD. I'm pulling my hair out as my phone refuses to let me download a 700k app from market now..
I tried wiping cache too it upped my free space to 17mb.

No I read thats a bad idea as it can cause problems?
EDIT - Tried it and now I have 97mb free.. AWESOME so far no probs will update if I have any more. Also noticed though when I backed up before adding the mod it had some games/apps in the devlik cache i no longer have installed? Any way I can remove them? Like Skype etc..
A2SD was the reason for me to root...tryed arround diff ROMs...had the same prob like u...then i find my perfect ROM: Acemod007
super fast, stable, super support, and the best: a2sd works perfectly! i have an 2 gb ext4 partition and round 150 apps installed and 200 mb internal free (running CM7r2)!
Check this out!

yep thats why i rooted It's an annoying problem.
To find out, if a2sd+ is working, open terminal emulator and type
Code:
su
ls -l /data
In the ouput you should find this
Code:
/app -> /sd-ext/app
/app-private -> /sd-ext/app-private
/dalvik-cache -> /sd-ext/dalvik-cache
If you cannot find this, partition your sd card with gparted again (save important data before this):
1.) Create fat32 partition (primary)
2.) Create ext partition (primary)
3.) Flash e.g. oxygen rom
At last, make sure you followed the instructions in leedroid thread step by step in the correct order.
is the code i should write 1 or i ?
Neither nor. It's an "L" in lower case character.

I was hoping for some help..or even a point to the correct thread to find the answer:
How can one install any of the newer sense 3.0+ roms and still keep all apps without the phone crashing? The roms are easily between ~250 - 350 mb in size and there is no room left over for apps that I have saved in back up. I know I can move them to the sd card but I never get the chance to once i restore them due to the phone crashing. I have read about formatting the sd card but I really don't know how.
Is there someplace I can find this?
Thanks in advance
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1121538
So I followed the guide and it worked perfectly. The roms finally work and don't crash. However, now I only have about 20 - 40 mb free. I try to move my apps to the sd card using the function that comes with the rom, but it says my sd card is full. I have about 6 gb free on my card. Any idea why that's happening or how I can get around that?
Thanks again
Unfortunately this is just an inherent flaw of the Evo; the internal space is so small that you can't really enjoy a big Sense rom that uses 3.0 features and have a lot of apps. Only way to get all the room back is to flash a smaller rom.
Format your SD card with an ext3 partition. Make it 1gb or whatever size you desire. Most Sense ROMs support a2sd where it tricks the phone into thinking the ext3 partition is part of the phone internal storage. You can install as many apps as you want with the apps stored on the SD.
Thanks for the replies. I've formatted the sd card in ext3 and made it 2 gb. I wish it had more internal space. Any idea why its saying my sd card is full when I have over 6gb left of free space?
Are you using dark tremors a2sd?? If not flash that and do the following commands in terminal emulatior: a2sd install, a2sd datasd, a2sd cachesd, a2sd cachepart. Make sure you type su first
I get about 100 MB free after this

I wouldn't do all of this unless you have at least a class 6 or higher sdcard.
Definitely use dark tremors a2sd. Search for dta2sd.
If you partitioned your card to ext3, It should work automatically, but use the a2sd install command, just in case.
You can use the other commands, but you shouldn't need to. They move the cache partition including the dalvik cash to the ext3 partition, and if your card isn't fast enough, it will create lags, and other issues.
Make sure to wipe cache and dalvik before/after you flash dta2sd.

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!

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
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 installed ICS for Desire (Sandvold version) and A2SD script. Everything working fine with the ROM (except for known issues), but the a2sd script gave me very little free space. The apps from PlayStore downloads very slow and I get "low memory space" errors too soon .
I'm using: Stock HBOOT, Amon Ra Recovery, 1GB ext4 for sd-ext, 0GB swap. S-ON.
8GB SDHC Class 4
The Apps 2 SD scripts in GB ROMs works fine for me, but no in ICS.
Could a Class 10 Micro SD solve my problem?
Does anyone know how to solve storage problems in ICS?
Yes, solution is to install GB...

If you chose "STOCK A2SD" in the installation. Then, you need to mount the A2SD "manually"
I mean to activate the the built in a2sd as follow:
open terminal and run these commands:
su
a2sd install
To move dalvik cache do:
a2sd cachesd
Recommended way to answer Y N Y

I did what you say, choosing Y N Y options. The storage problems appeared doing that. Does matter the class of the microSD?

I format my SD card using AmonRa Recovery.
I asked about class 10 microSD because I read Amarullz script works better with it (I only used stock a2sd script), I wonder if my problem could be solved using amarullz script with class 10 SD, or am I mistaken?
First I suggest you to repartition your sd using 4ext recovery.
I have a class 10 transcend 16gb sd card and Amarullz script worked perfectly for me (while I was using it).
Just install m2sd from zero-cool and it works good. Scripts from this link works good http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716124

Hi ronin_85. I have exactly the same configuration as you do and I was happy when I managed it to work after several attempts. (I added S-OFF via revolutionary yesterday, but it will not make a difference I guess). This is what finally worked for me - I partitioned my card also with Amon RA Recovery - 1 GB ext 4, 0 SWAP, rest FAT32. I did a full wipe and flashed Sandvold's BETA 0.17.1. During flash I chose "Stock A2SD". After the reboot I did not fill in Google data (I skipped the step) because I did not want it to start installing (restoring) my apps by itself. I went to terminal, used the commands mentioned above with the combination Y N Y (I tried several combinations but only this one worked correctly). After that I rebooted my phone one more time and started to set up the rest of things... Right now I can say that so far it seems to be finally working for me. I have several applications installed and free memory still holds almost full :victory:.
Try out the INT2SD script from the Aroma installer. It gives you more space than the stock A2SD
