have you partitioned your sd card correctly?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=SD_card_partitioning
check your roms original thread to see what sort of partition you need.
which ROM do you have... and was A2SD+ part of the ROM, or sth you added?
I think I read somewhere that some A2SD+ implementations don't move the Dalvik cache over to SD. The (easiest) method to add dalvik to SD likely depends on the A2SD implementation.
Use S2E , download it from Market.
thanks.
what is better for a2SD, ony ext3 or ext3 and swap???
The a2sd script in Cool's AceS v1 does move the dalvik cache to the sd card, so most likely the card isn't formatted correctly. I suggest you use gparted or a similar tool to format your card like this: first the FAT partition, then the ext 2/3 one (note that some roms require you to have an ext 4 partition, but this is not the case of AceS; anyway, make sure you read the thread thoroughly before flashing). Also, make sure the ext partition is no larger than 2048 MB (i.e. 2 GB), since you might experience market problems. Swap is not used by most roms you'll want to flash these days, so don't worry about it too much, unless the thread mentions so.
Just to mention, S2E is only for cyanogen mod, as it's stated in the app's description, so don't use it with other roms (which have other a2sd scripts). Also, before formatting, don't forget to backup your data
Good luck!

Hello guys!
i'm new here just want to say that it's probably the best site for modding.
I have a desire with Ginger sense ROM.
Link2sd is free on the market. Uses ext and fat partitions. I have link2sd on my Kyocera Zio m6000 which only has a total of 180mb in data and I have 137mb free. Link2sd allows you to create a symbolic link for app data dalvik-cache and lib files of the app you want to move to SD. Plus with the symbolic links you get to keep your Widgets.

Dalvik Cache will take up space on "Internal storage" by default on some A2SD + ROMs, but it can be moved
You can move this by running "terminal emulator" from the market and typing:
Code:
su
a2sd cachesd
or with adb:
Code:
adb shell
a2sd cachesd

please note that davebugyi's suggestion only works if you're using the Darktremor a2sd script
Hi Im having a problem with installing apps, I keep getting this message: "Insufficient Storage Space"
but a according to Titanium Backup I should have more than enough.
System Rom: 262MB (29.2MB free)
Internal: 154MB (124MB free)
SD Card: 6.87GB (2.97GB free)
SD Card (a2sd) 1.30GB (503MB free)
Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Ive tried searching for this but cant find any solution that works.
Hey
I'm having exactly the same issue -- have you had any luck?
Cheers
Check the size/free space of your cache partition - apps get stored to there when downloaded from market before installer runs.
this helped me...
Hi!
I had the same problem; with miui-xj i solved the problem this way:
with terminal emulator:
- Type su
- Type a2sd zipalign
- Type a2sd cachesd (there may be a reboot here...)
- Type a2sd reinstall (and another here)
try!
Bye
I Have the same issue.
If I type a2sd zipalign in the terminal emulator I had "a2sd not found" answer.
For sure I'm doing something wrong. What?
Those commands are for Darktremor's script. You probably have cyanogenmod, hence it doesn't work.
I have aurax tsense 8.4
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.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S using xda premium
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 ****??
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!
It's the second time I try to configure my phone for Apps2SD, and it just doesn't seem to work! I've got a HTC Desire GSM, running MIUI 2.4.13. This time i've configured my phone to Apps2SD following the guide in this thread: http://miuiandroid.com/community/th...tall-of-miui-with-enough-room-for-apps.15808/
I did everything just like he said, and with regards to the partitions, I allocated 1024MB to one partition, 0 to the next partition, and 512MB for the swap partition. Then I chose EXT3. But there is no diference in my storage... I still only have 29MB free (out of 105MB) after installing apps.
Please help! What am doing wrong? This is really frustrating me..!
In order to work properly, the partitions must be created in this order: fat32, ext4, swap. Did you created them in this way? I suggest also to make partitions on your sd-card with gparted live or 4ext recovery (search this in the development section).
If you did it like that, in miui you have to enable a2sd:
download terminal emulator from market.
Type:
su
(enter)
a2sd reinstall
(enter)
(the phone after a while reboots)
if you want to move also dalvik to have more space (but less performance) type in emulator:
su
(enter)
a2sd cachesd

I've tried both terminal codes. Something is definitely working, because I've installed all the apps I used to have before and a few more, without moving anything to the SD card, and I've still got 27MB out of ~150MB.
Question is: If all the apps are stored on the SD card, why does the internal memory keep running out as I install more apps?

It's normal. A2sd move app (and dalvik if you type cachesd), but app's data remain in internal. If you need more space you have to choose data2sd script, it uses ext partition like internal, but affecting performance, overall if you have a low class SD-card. The best choice is to move app and, if you need more space, to move dalvik. Darktremor's a2sd is the first, most solid and stable script to do this, and it does very well.

Okay that makes a lot of sense, thank you.
I've got a class 6 microSD card. Is that good enough for data2sd? And how do I go about doing it? Am I going to need to wipe and partition all over again, or is the current configuration I've got sufficient?

Yes, class 6 is good. I have it too. But use data2sd only if you need more space. If you don't, don't use it, your phone may lag, have less responsiveness, etc..
You can find MIUI-XJ in developer section that has data2sd implemented.
Also you can try other script like m2sd by dk_zero-cool and xa2sdx by amarullz.
I never use install them separatly, so read instructions in their trhead.
Maybe you have only to wipe dalvik and cache but I am not sure.
