Well.. as i used it with 8GB partition, my phone said to me after installing of 140~ Apps my internal memory is full
can you tell me, how you installed it? i think it was so:
1. Flash script through CWM
2. Boot it
3. ADB shell
4. a2sd reinstall
4.1. a2sd cachesd (alternative)

follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158993

I have read that Darkremors A2SD will not work with GB Stock Roms (ORM).. because the init.rc has to be modified to run this script.. is it true? Or are u using it with a custom rom?

It works for me. actually it doesn't really move the whole file but unless you move to sdcard again in settings.

[Q] A2SD Question

Trying to flash a ROM.
The ROM (MIUI) i want to flash needs A2SD.
Does having the app Apps2SD from the market installed count?
Or do i have to do S-OFF and the ext3 partition stuff
Depends on what version of a2sd you want to use if you need ext partition. You don't need to s-off to use any version of a2sd. Do a google search on a2sd and miui, they have a good explanation of the different versions. (will post the link when behind a computer)

So do i need to do the ext3 partition?
Or can i just flash it
It still depends on what version of A2SD you want to use. Read this.
i believe i'm using the Froyo Apps2SD from the market.
So does this mean i have do perform the ext3 partition to get A2SD+?
Yes, you need an EXT3 partition on your SD card to use the proper A2SD+ that is included in the ROM
I got the rom to work.
Thanks for your help anyway

A2SD not found

Hi everyone.
After using pretty much all the main roms, I've decided to revert back to Teppic's pre-rooted stock Froyo rom.
I've installed his ROM and apps2sd + v1.4 with no problems. I presume apps2sd is clearly working (internal memory is 99mb after installing about 20 apps) however, when using Terminal Emulator the following occurs:
Su
A2sd cachesd
A2sd: not found
A2sd
A2sd: not found
I've tried searching everywhere and cannot find an answer. It obviously means a2sd is not installed, but who can explain the internal memory?

a2sd check
or a2sd reinstall
Same problem...a2sd not found
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I have the same problem but with LeeDroid. Reason is my internal memory is almost 0 with perhaps 20 applications installed. I do have a2sd diskinfo in QSI but I feel it's like it works only half the time with the a2sd functions :/
Partition your sd-card again on this way:

I have the same problem on Gingervillain with a partition sd..
any idea?
I get "permission denied"!
EDIT: My bad! I forgot to enter "su" first. But I'm now getting "not found".

[tutorial] make more space in internal memory with link2sd

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.
sent using tapatalk
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.

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 ****??

[Q] Enable Link2SD or A2SD?

Anyone know how to enable and install Link2SD or DT's A2SD on a stock rom? I know Darkshado's method, when you need to flash simpligio without the modem. But is there a way without flashing another rom? I'm also aware of enabling of enabling A2SD for the Galaxy Ace but if I try this on my Gio, will it be safe??? Please help. Thanks for your time!
Hi,
I'm using stock froyo 2.2.1 (S5660DXKC3), rooted and using link2sd.
It very easy to install the link2sd. i suggest using class 10 microsd. Here is the step:
1. Using a PC/laptop, create 2 partition in microsd, 1st is fat32, 2nd is ext2. Set both are primary partition. i use the partition wizard home edition (is free)
2. Set the 2nd partition size not more than 1 Gb, i heard that it will cause an error if more than 1 Gb. Mine are set to 0.8 Gb.
3. Root your phone, i'm using super one click
4. Install link2sd from market
5. Insert your microsd to your phone
6. Start link2sd, it will ask for the 2nd partition. pick the ext2
7. Reboot/restart your phone
If you want to use A2sd on stock rom, use must use modified boot.img. A2sd can't work on standard boot.img (CMIIW)
And use custom kernel

To enable link2SD or a2SD on 2.2 it is very easy.but on gingerbread,you need to flash a custom kernel(such as phiexz's kernel),because of the kernel doesn't support init.d script.

Use a SD card reader!! Not from your phone!! Also you need custom kernel.
Ok first partition your SD card. Use the program call MiniTool Partition Wizard. This is on your PC. There are guides all over the web for this but I'll sum it up for youse. Make a SD-EXT with the options > Primary > Ext4 > 4Kb Cluster size
Download Darktremor's A2SD and put in the root of your SDcard. Once done plug SD back to phone. Make sure phone is off. Enter recovery and find the a2sd zip and flash. Reboot the phone and it will bootloop for maybe 2 times. Then it should have installed a2sd correctly!!
Hope this helps
merci! I DO indeed have a custom kernel (ArpegGioMod ftw) but I bit the bullet and installed Link2SD, and it seems to be performing okay.. slightly sluggish fps with Mupen64, but nothing a little OC can't fix. lol
Just for your information, you don't need to have a custom kernel for Link2SD.
I'm using it with 2 primary fat partitions on (rooted) stock 2.3.4.
And It's working like a charm.
Has anyone noticed that on a reboot link2sd starts to relink apps and sometimes some apps are removed from the phone. I have always experienced this and I have reinstalled link2sd many times, but the problem still persists.

[Q] a2sd ?

Noob question. I'm currently running Express 3.4.1. It supports a2sd but when i check my internal storage it keeps going up after every app install. I did partition my sd card and can check it many different ways. SO what gives?
You can go into a terminal program, run:
su
a2sd check
a2sd reinstall
and that will move all your apps to the SD Card
This is interesting. Version 2.7.5.2, which is older. The check indicates that apps are going to sd. But when I try to to do the reinstall I get an error, something about a2sd not running on boot.

I flashed the latest a2sd in recovery and now it seems to be working.
My final question for a while
When I load a ROM I also need flash the lasted DT s2sd too?

Yes, you need to flash the script again for a new rom.
Even when it says it's baked into the ROM, I still flash A2SD in the same recovery session as the ROM
Once u flashed the a2sd zip file open your emulator and do the following comands
su
a2sd cachesd
Phone well reboot
Now erase the emulator and re download because it well stop working after u run the command but re download it and open it again now type the next set of commands
su
a2sd datasd
Phone well reboot
And thats it u should have all the free memory you need just make sure u have your sd partioned before doing this or it wont work
