You need to have your SD card partitioned properly. Also A2SD is automatic so you dont need to do anything.

i partition ext2 & upgraded to ext4 already. it shown success. i dont know which method i done wrong...

idk how you did it, hopefully with the recovery image menu. then you did it right.
what you did wrong was executing a2sd manually. all you need to do is partition your card and flash mcr3.1, that's why it says "automatic" in the description.
instructions for upgrading the recovery image are in the first post of the recovery image thread.

i do it auto & the apps doesnt install on the sd card that y i do it manually >.<"

i just do a wipe & re flash everything but when i install apps it still use my phone internal memory.

Some people say that small chunk of app is still installed in phone.
But I think only small chunk is installed in sd card but large portion is left with phone memory.

mine all in internal memory -.-"

can you tell us what makes you come to this conclusion?
please post the output of
Code:
adb shell ls -l /data/app
and
Code:
adb shell mount
while the phone is turned on normally.

edit: remove of image as is wrong command

As for my recovery upgrade i was just able to flash to recovery 1.5.2 already. due to ext4 issue after i follow the code: tune2fs -E test_fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
when i free will re-flash modaco 3.1 to try the a2sd again. hope i able to do it this time...
Would like to know after flashing rom, was it normal that my hero keep on reboot non-stop? should i remove the battery? or should i wait?(so far i always remove the battery as the reboot will never end after more then 30mins-1hour)

e.japonica said:

you didn't get the first command right, please try again just to make sure. the output of "adb mount" tells us that you have an ext4 partition on your card, which is mounted to /system/sd. the first command (if entered correctly) will most probably show you that /data/app (where apps are installed) is a symbolic link to /system/sd (a.k.a. your ext4 partition). if you had searched for the problem this would not have been necessary... and you could have found the explanation why the internal memory is still decreasing.

Hope this is the correct command:
As i just do a re-flash mdc 3.1 on recovery v1.5.2.
now i still unable to install app in my sdcard as my internal memory is keep on reducing while i install apps.

Hi kendong2, i dont mean to **** around but as my internal memory is keep reducing as i installing apps.
i go setting sd card & phone memory. after i flash the mdc 3.1 the phone memory is show as 151mb. but after i install some apps it now shown 137mb. so i use the widget of internal memory it show 28mb of 165mb was used. was it my phone status & the internal memory widget error? im confuse now...
so sorry if i pissed you, as im not expert on all this. i was just simply follow the method on website. i just do a step by step as i dont know the step stand for what use... & im not well educated too, so sometime some part i dont understand. but i willing to read & learn so i post my question to ask so in future i will understand it... as much as im able to...

pm sent, no hard feelings

and how to solve this problem?

[SOLVED] [Q] Just flashed CM7 and I have A2SD problem + other weird problems

Hey guys
I just followed this guide to root, S-OFF, partitioned and installed the CM7: [Video Tutorial] Noob Proof Everything Desire Guide UPDATED [04/04/11] after playing with it for a while, I think A2SD is not working.
Before flashing, I partitioned my SD with Gparted Live CD like this:
1st Partition: FAT32
2nd Partition: EXT4
3rd Partition: EXT4
After the fresh flashed, no apps installed, storage information read:
SD Card:
Total - 13.80GB
Available - 13.32GB
Internal:
Total - 148MB
Available - 108MB
then I installed Titanium Backup, Doodle Jump, SwiftKey Keyboard and Quick System Info Pro and it now reads:
SD Card:
Total - 13.80GB
Available - 13.20GB
Internal:
Total - 148MB
Available - 92.59MB
is this normal? No I don't think so.
I also checked from Quick System Info and at the A2SD storage it says Total:756MB Free: 701MB
then I searched through the threads and found this How to check if Apps2SD has been installed correctly... so I typed in the command "su" then "ls -l /data" in Terminal Emulator but it returns no dalvik-cache -> /system/sd/dalvik-cache
app-private -> /system/sd/app-private
app -> /system/sd/app like it wrote in that thread.
Then I typed "busybox df -h" and also no /system/sd is being used.
Last command, I typed "ls /system/sd/app" and it said "No such file or directory"
What am I suppose to do to get it working?
Another question...
During the first system setup, it asked me if I want to install apps from Market bla bla bla I can't remember it exactly and I pressed Cancel and it came up again after I downloaded the first app from the Market, it asked if I want to install Facebook app, Gmail, Google apps etc. and let me check what app I want, again, I pressed Cancel. But now I want to install those apps and where can I run it?
I also applied the gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip right after I flashed the CM7 since I thought Google Apps will be installed. But there are no Google Apps installed on my device. Why? What apps are in the Google Apps package?
Thank you for reading my long thread and I appreciate all replies.
Update1: My GOD!! After rebooting my device for the first time, the notifications bar is GONE! I browsed through the ADWLauncher settings and still can't get it back. What on earth is going on?!?!
Update2: Looks like I '****ed the installation up a bit' like Meaple said. Now when there is an incoming call, the phone rings but nothing on the screen happened. I must press on the telephone icon and press 'Return to call in progress' (which will appear when there is a call) to get to the incoming call screen then I can swipe to pick up the call!! This is crazy.

Ok you do realise you got out all wrong. Firstly you only need 1 fat32 partition and 1ext partition only. Fat32 goes first. Secondly there is an app in the market called s2e which overalls the a2sd script for you and you can choose what goes on your sd card. Thirdly it sound like you ****ed the installation up a bit. Just do a complete fresh wipe.
If you read the cm7 post by kali you would understand.

- OK. How big should the EXT4 partition be?
- Thanks for recommending the S2E.
- Yes I think so. Actually at the S-OFF procedure there was a problem too. I posted in the AlphaRev's thread like this
hi, I'm trying to S-OFF my phone following this guide: [Video Tutorial] Noob Proof Everything Desire Guide UPDATED [04/04/11][Video Tut]
the process went well, I got the line said 'HBOOT flash: SUCCESS' then the next line said 'Flashing new bootblock: OK' and I stuck there for about half an hour. So I Googled it and found this on AlphaRev's site
Verify that the phone says: 'HBOOT flash: SUCCESS!' -> S-OFF is done.
You might get only a few more lines after that, such as "Flashing new bootblock: OK". This usually means the process got stuck
when the HBOOT flash is already done.
As long as you have the above 'HBOOT flash: SUCCESS' line on your screen, it is safe to pull the battery.
Boot into fastboot with to verify S-OFF (BACK+POWER).
You will need to restore at least your /boot image from your nandroid.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so I pulled the battery, disconnected the USB cable and turn on the phone in fastboot mode (Back+Power) to verify that it is now S-OFF'd and it is.
But I can't boot into Android. When I boot it normally, it just boot into fastboot. And I didn't do any nandroid backup.
Any ideas? Thanks

Then a user replied:
Reflash your ROM without wipe, and you should be fine!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but I'm flashing a fresh ROM so I wiped as in the Noob Proof guide showed.
Afterall my recovery is not a blue CWM-AlphaRev Recovery (like it should?) but still a normal green-CWM Recovery and the splash screen wasn't change to 'Why so Serious' picture. But I got S-OFF'd.
Is there anything to do with that?

update 2 is at the end of the first post. this is crazy.

one more question: everyone using CM7 will need to install S2E to use the A2SD?

If your phone "tells" you, you are s-off, be happy with it and do not wonder about a not fitting color of the cwm recovery and the not changed splash screen.

With installing s2e you cannot use a2sd. You can use a2sd if you have a fat32 and an ext3 or ext4 partition on your sd card. Now all apps, wether they are programmed for this or not, will be moved to sd card (as long as the flashed rom supports this). With the s2e you can manage which apps should be in phone's internal storage or on the ext partition.

Yes, it tells me that I'm S-OFF'd.
OK, drop all those weird problems. I wiped everything last night and flashed the CM7 again. No freaking problem so far. But after I flashed the Google Apps.zip, it said install success but nothing came after booting. And I don't know where I can get Gmail because I'm living in Germany and Gmail is not available in the Market. There is an Email app came with CM7, but I prefer to use Gmail.
About S2E, I asked in this thread:
hmm... i dont have any ideas. how can i get it work? I just want to install apps without worry! which option should i check?
i have a 1GB ext4 partition
thanks in advance

then a user replied:

So I did it. Ticked the 'Applications' and 'Private apps' then rebooted. But how can I know that it is working?
Just in case - my SD partitions are:
1st Partition FAT32 <the rest>
2nd Partition EXT4 <1000MB>

Thanks again

1.) Download and install the app connectbot
2.) After starting, select "local" and type a nickname
3.) type

4.) Enter permission request

German picture source:http://www.brutzelstube.de/2010/wie-uberprufe-ich-ob-a2sd-richtig-funktioniert/
There can see, that the standard pathes for installing apps were changed to /system/sd. That means, a2sd+ is working.
Use the thanks button, when someone helped you.

thanks for the Gmail app
but after typing ls -l /data it returns NO /system/sd/app
how come??

I beg your pardon. I was wrong with the a2sd thing. To use a2sd with cm7, you need an ext partition on your sd card and one of these scripts:
simple2ext
CM7 Legacy App2SD Addon Script

Try to move it to sd (test if it starts) and then back to internal storage. If its's still not working, use another calendar app. Here i can higly recommend business calendar free:
https://market.android.com/details?id=netgenius.bizcal&feature=related_apps
If you used s2e correctly, a2sd is working. Maybe check again with the commands in conncetbot. You still have the option 'move to sd' in application settings, because this refers to the fat32 partiton on the sd card. In application settings android can only 'let you decide' between "internal storage" or "fat 32 partition of sd card". A2sd ist not integrated there, because it's so programmed that all apps you install will be moved automatically to sd card (ext partition); so manual moves are not necessary and senseless.

You need to reboot after configuring s2e. Did you do that? Do not wonder when it's take a long time, because all apps should be moved to sd ext.

Low space even while using 1GB ext3 partition

I have HTC desire with Leedroid 2.2 rom
the problem is I used to have a 512 MB ext3 partition for apps and the space getting low while not installing that kind of apps
then I formatted and made that partition 1GB and while using different froyo roms the space getting low
last time yesterday I had to remove many apps regardless the apps I've already moved to micro SD in order to install a tiny app and to remove the low in space icon in notification bar
the problem is I'm not sure either if the space is used or not, and how would I know that for sure?
I've installed yesterday an app named link2sd which should display the data for ext2, 3 or 4 even
when I choose them the app display it fails to open it
any help?

the app is for an other kind of script probably
anyway ur a2sd is working as its about full (how many apps u have?!?)
anyways u get low space message because probably ur /data partition is full,
with the terminal emulator app type df -h and see the space used from each partition
-install https://market.android.com/details?id=jackpal.androidterm
-open the app
-type su and press enter
-type df -f and press enter

good..as u can see u have only 14.8 mb free on the /data partition (the low space message is related to that)
that because even with a2sd, the data related to each app (settings, ecc and even the dalvik cache) are stored on the data partition and not on the ext (only apk are on the ext)
then..or u remove some apps that u dont need or u should increase ur ext to 2gb and go for a data2ext script/rom (which move app data and dalvik cache on the ext)

S2E works only with Cyanogenmod rom.

I've run the terminal emulator
types su
and every a2sd command gives me command not found !!

This is why I don't like Ap2SD script. What's happening for you is say you have 20MB internal Memory and you have 400MB ext3 and you download an App say 15mb in size. What happens is 10MB will go to ext3 and the other 5MB will go to internal memory, leaving you 15MB now repeat that and you will soon get low space message.
Switch to Data2SD script and all your problems will be gone note you will need a SD card class 4 and above or you get lag.

Thank you
I will search for a way to that switch
and I already ordered a Class 10 microSD card

Insufficient storage..

Hey peeps.
I've run into a problem recently. I don't have enough storlage space left for installing apps from the market.
I'm using an ICS Rom by sandvold.com. I have partioned 2 gigabytes of my 32 gigs SD card to be used for a2sd and so far only 500 mb is in use. Both my dalvik cache and app data are on the sd card.
During the installation of a2sd in my Rom I chose to use the stock version.
Does anyone know a possible solution to my problem?
Ty in advance!

If you want to know where all your free space has gone, try Diskusage app, and check your data partition...
Probably the cache of some of your apps has grown too much...
I had the same problem before I changed to Data++ hboot, and to COS ICS ROM (with dalvik2sd option)

I've just realized you can't install apps from the market...
Try clearing caches and/or data from your browsers. Or even games... When you have enough free space for installing, try Diskusage then...

I managed to clear up a little space by clearing my browser cache to install an app that easily clears my cache. I wanted to link my Titanium backup screenshot and the response to writing the command written above. Finally booted up my pc and here they are:

Terminal Emulator
I'm gonna try that disk app in a few hours..

Help is here!
I had the same problem.I have a desire stock 2.2.2 rooted and the space is very limited.This is what i done:
I partition my sd card ext2/ext3 (ext4 doesn't work)
Installed link 2 sd (when you first launch you will be prompted what partition you have ext2/ext3/ext4)
Restart the phone and you are done.
After linking the apps( i mean i linked in first restart 40+) the phone will boot slowly but after that it will be faster.
Hope helps you

I thank you much for the reply, but this is already what I've done and I'm out of space again, with my SD partitioned. I partitioned 2 GB of storage on my SD and it isn't using it all as you see on the titanium backup screenshot. I have no clue on how to fix it..

If you want to know where all your free space has gone, try Diskusage app, and check your data partition...
Probably the cache of some of your apps has grown too much...
I had the same problem before I changed to Data++ hboot, and to COS ICS ROM (with dalvik2sd option)

I checked with the Diskusage app and found that approximately 600 MB was allocated for cache and data. Why isn't all of my 2 GB of sd-ext added to this "list"? Any suggestions would be apreciated.

Your output clearly shows A2SD is not working. Which means, Apps and Dalvik-Cache are not moved to SD-EXT.
So please run
Code:
a2sd install
After successfull reboot (script will you asking to do so after answering the question which data should be moved), please the output of this command again
Code:
ls -l /data

I ran the "a2sd install" command, moved dalvik and moved data by writing "y" to the questions.. After that I performed a reboot.
I then ran the command you wrote: ls -l /data.
I could be worth mentioning that during the installation of my ICS rom I choose to use the stock a2sd. I used to have a GB rom on my Desire some time ago. Back then I was using some other script called Darktremor and that worked. I have the opportunity to try another a2sd script during the installation of my rom. Any suggestions?

Ok this is what i suggest:
Remove the sim and memory card
If you have an card reader (backup your fat 32 partition and format it ;after that format ex2/ext3 partition)
Restore backup on the fat32 partition
Now do the phone a factory reset
Wait till it boots
Restart it
Put back the sd card and sim in the phone
Go to market and install link 2 sd and do the method i write in last post.
If this dosn't work flash data++ hboot from alpharev site

A2SD is still not working. How and with witch program did you partition your SD card?

MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition
Ok now i know what you are talking about:whatever you install it gives you inssuficient memory.I had the same prob after installing some app from market.I just installed it and it worked good then.

I used the recoverymode (Revolutionary) to partition my SD card, but it was an entirely new SD card at the time I installed it in my phone for about 1 month ago. I hadn't formatted it before I started using it.
I'm gonna try your method mansamihai, and get it done today hopefully. Not being able to install/update apps is driving me crazy.

do not use MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition for creating your ext partition.
while it may work for some, in lots of cases it can cause more problems.
backup your sd card to computer first, then try partitioning from scratch again.
gparted is recommended above anything else, or use 4ext recovery.

I used the partition function in the revolutionary recovery mode to partition my SD. I've made it to the point where I should choose which file system my SD cards partition is in the Link2SD app and I have no clue which one to choose? Any chance for a bit of help here?

I tried the to do it all over again, sadly without any change in results..
It is still not working..
Any suggestions on what to do now?
Thanks in advance!

[Q] CM10.1 A2SD Problem!

Hey , I just installed CM10.1 and I read the method to activate the a2sd script , I did exactly as i was suppose to , after installing the ROM i just went into terminal , and typed
SU
a2sd install
y
n
y
as i was suppose to , and when i saw the storage , it said 12 mb used , and the rest free , (i have a 2gb ext partition) just 120+ mb i dont remember the exact figure , and so i assumed that it might not show the exact space but it was implying that a2sd was working because the whole OS could not be 12 mb.
so i used super backup to restore all my text messages , call logs , calender etc and then i restored 41 of my old apps , and in the process (31) it started saying that it is out of space , i tried the same script with not luck.
I tried App2sd (from store) and moved some of the apps to make some space.
It took super backup 3 hours , yes 3 hours to restore the text messages , and i dont want to go through all that again (if possible)
Any help would be really appreciated.
NOTE: The ROM i used before was supernova , it had a built in a2sd , so it showed 2 gb when i went into the storage , but it was too slow.
Waiting for a reply , Thanks.

How did you partition your sd-card?

Thanks for the reply , well i used a partitioning software (the name slips my mind, the one in the noob guide ) , and partitioned it from my computer,
but the reason I could not doubt the partition is because it was working fine in my previous ROM.
Thanks...

And can you tell me about what m2sd is?
I used it for bigger ROMs but they weren't stable , and what about the "Partition SD Card" in HBOOT.
Could these be the problem?

You probably used Minitool Partition Wizard, which makes faulty partitions. Check the partitioning guide in my signature to correctly partition your sd-card.
m2sd is a script to move apps, data, cache, dalvik cache to sd-ext.
The "Partition SD Card" option is found in "Recovery", not hboot. The hboot is this screen:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

I actually used the Gparted method , but I dont know why the script is not working.
I used the "Noob Proof HTC Desire guide" and it showed the gparted method , the same as yours.
How do i check if my phone is "S-Off'd".Because I got this phone with CM7 Running in it...

Go into the bootloader and it will say either s-off or s-on. Look at the picture that andoo posted. It says s off at the top.

Yup its s-offd thanks a bunch for the reply.
i guess i will try the s-off method to partition again , because this just wont work...

I'm having the same problem, having installed CM10.1 and previously having a Supernova ROM installed.
However, that used Data2SD instead of A2SD, and I wonder if this is the problem?
When I try try to activate A2SD by using the command "a2sd install", and rebooting, the phone never recognises the Ext4 partition on my SD card. I wonder if the phone is still expecting to use the Data2SD method (where you used to see the LED turn pink then blue whislt it mounted the SD card partition whilst booting - it no longer does this).
I saw a thread [PRJ] [DATA2SD] Flashable zips for converting any Rom to Data2SD, For N1 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864174 - and wondered if this method can be used to get this working. But it talks about installing A2SDKiller specific to your ROM. Where would I find this?
Alternatively, if my phone is looking for Data2SD, is there anyway to stop it doing this, if it is this that is interfering with A2SD working properly?
