[Q] How to free up some space if you are using darktremor a2sd script or RCMix GB rom

hi to all,
yesterday i started to struggle with the space on my desire with GB RCMix S v1.7 Rom. i know i have a lot of applications but i wanted to know if its possible of getting more space somehow.
quickly searched the forum and didnt find anything i really wanted but found this: (not sure about links policy here):
h_t_t_p://w_w_w.baadnwz.eu/2011/05/align-your-sdcard-fat-and-ext-partiton.html?showComment=1306324922084#c1198792341921194805
ofcourse all credit goes to baadnwz for his great work, however, im not sure how its done and where to imput all those commands? is it ADB or terminal being used? and how do people input | ?
i know baadnwz is a busy man with all the development so i thought i might just ask general public on this and see if i can get an answer and learn how its done and maybe someone else will find it useful.
thank you and sorry if its repost or i didnt put it right. and sorry that i cant make clickable link as i dont have enough posts
EDIT: the link i provided does not apply for this thread as apparently it could only be used for people who have different a2sd scripts. but you still might find it useful using the information discussed in this threa to free up some space.

my Rom is actually 1.6.2 and ive got HBOOT-0.93.0001
my rom is A2SD+ Bravo version and yes there is a2sdGUI in my rom just im not sure how to use it and what to press there as a2sd is already lit up green in this app. what would be further suggestions as i can see i cant use the script provided by baadnwz

Go to a2sd GUI app n go the dalvik n move cache to ext n press move n it will restart n u should have more space

The Best Things Come To Those Who Wait

thanks for all the help but would like to ask something before i try and move Dalvik to Ext. will it have any effect on performance? as the rom now seems to be very fast and smooth, so dont want to lose it. and what are pros and cons of moving Dalvik to Ext?
by the way noticed you have Dalvik Jit on? and mine is not on so should i turn it on as well as latest 1.7 version as per changelog has Jit turned on as well.
thank you again

Moving dalvik to ext will not have any harm to ur devuce make ur device much happier
As it means u half & half n settle its self n works very good I would always recommend moving cache
U can look on xda for more indept details about cache n pro n cons if u really won't
N yes just tick jit n reboot buddy
The Best Things Come To Those Who Wait

wow great help mate, will do that right now and will report if i see any changes or if i have any more question. will also edit the title as it would only be appropriate for guys/girls with darktremor a2sd script
thanks again and have a good day

No props if u find u are having speed or performance issue just use the a2sd GUI to move cache back to internal u will just have to delete some apps lol
The Best Things Come To Those Who Wait

daddyspud just moved Dalvik cache to sd-ext by pressing Move button, however dont seem to gain any memory so i assume my Dalvik was being move already by the script that is in the Rom. however, would like to know what Move and Rebuild would do? and regarding Jit it stays on when i click on it but if i reboot my phone is off again. is it how it suppose to be?
thanks again

Yh there a issue with jit on 1.6.2 but 1.7 is been fixed wat version if rcmix u using ok so to check if working
Download terminal emulate from market
Open it type Su enter allow Su
Then type a2sd cachesd then it will run a command n the reboot that should do the trick buddy

Help With Partition Question

I just partitioned my EVO 4G and did everything "to a T" but I am not sure if it worked or not.
I am running a ROM that doesn't HAVE to have the SD card partitioned (Kingdom Rewind 3D) but I flash ROMs frequently & figured 'what the hell'.....
now I read in all the posts about partitioning the SD card that I should have around 300-400MB once partitioned...now when I went into SD & Phone Storage I see the following:
total space-12.98GB
available space-12.65GB
and for internal storage 97.66MB...
but in Titanium Backup it shows the a2SD with almost 2 GIGs of free space (see screens)...
my question is- did the partition work correctly or do I need to run a script or something?

Repeat steps, but type a2sd cachesd

Type
su
a2sd reinstall
That will move all your apps to the partition also you can type
su
a2sd help
That will give you a list of commands that you can run.
The datasd or cachesd can make you phone lag if that happens try
su
a2sd nodata
Hope that helps.

I'm pretty sure synergy uses cm a2sd scripts those commands are for dta2sd but its normal and your fine but if you start to get some lag you could flash dta2sd you'll need to find the moded version on that thread somewhere then run the command "nodata" I believe thats the one or "nocache" hope that helps.

everything seems to be running smooth right now....although the commands didn't work there is 357MB internal storage showing....so I guess I'm good for now.

There are a few threads in the dev section that have pretty detailed instructions for using a2sd scripts.
I just recently started using this myself, and have found two things to be pretty handy. First--and this won't help you on Synergy--but if/when you're using a CM7-based ROM, try this s2e app. I've been using it on CM7 and Deck, and it works great, basically gives you a GUI to manage the options from:
https://market.android.com/details?id=ru.krikun.s2e
Second, and you can use this tool with any rom, is another utility by the same dev called freespace--you can tell at a glance where your stuff is and how much space you have in /system, /data, /sd-ext, etc:
https://market.android.com/details?id=ru.krikun.freespace
I also just noticed this one for managing the darktremor a2sd script. I haven't used it, but if somebody wants to try it out, it's got 97 reviews and an avg rating of 4.7 stars:

USB mount your SD card, and run a chkdsk and make sure it is clean. I recently had this same looking issue and it was fixed by a chkdsk.

I had the same error recently when attempting to download applications on meXdroid ROM. It would only happen when I downloaded the ROM and gapps through ROM manager. Once I found and downloaded the direct zips from their website, I was able to have it running with no problem.

thats the problem i cant use rom manager cause it needs an update, and basicly im using CM 7 , and used the gapps that was under the tutorial there but sadly it did not work D: ,and do u may have the download link :$

I'm assuming you did all this previously through ROM manager?
If so, make sure you check the MD5, full wipe, and flash through recovery with the zips from the above links. If not, I don't know if this will really help.

DEV help needed boot.img/assert failed

hi guys,
im running into problems.
after using kitchen and signing my rom etc, I try to flash it but it says:
Code:
assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img","boot" android
I saw many people have this problem, and some say coverting to edify works.
however edify is not supported by newer recoveries.
any devs faced this problem and know how to fix??

Nope. Never had this problem. Just download Phiexz's or Delanoiter's kernel and look at the updater-script. Just copy the boot.img part

Yes you can still use your boot.img
In the updater-script look for the process where it's flash the kernel / boot.img

You can erase unneeded spaces if you want to but it's not necessary.

Hmmm... I really don't use kitchen that much because it's really annoying getting the Rom to boot up. Plus it's not specifically for Gio. So I don't know lol

Insufficient storage Link2SD error?

I'm not sure what the problem is here. I'm running CM9A6 via the RobotoMod 1.0.2 ROM, and I couldn't get the default S2E to work at all. I installed link2SD as a workaround, and while I know it has it's limitations, I can't determine why it won't link an app.
I downloaded Where's my Perry? for my kids, and due to it's size (50+ MB), I wanted to get it out of my internal storage. It isn't working, though - link2SD is throwing an error saying there's "insufficient storage". I'll let the screenshots speak for themselves:

Perry?free is already on the SDCard. You are trying to install it to internal memory and then getting Link2SD to link it back to the SDCard. As you only have 51.18MB free on your internal storage and Perry?free is 52.73MB it won't work. Leave it where it is.

Hi,
For CM9, use Ext4 on 2nd partition on SDcard. Do you have it?.
Link2sd was working fine with me when I had CM9Alpha7. Try only with Link2sd(don't have multiple SDcard apps).
Select 'Autolink' on Link2sd settings. If you do right, all apps will be installed on SD card.

2nd part is formatted Ext2. It works fine other than this one program, and I have it configured to install to SD.
I'll try linking just the dalvik-cache and library, and see if that works, leaving the app on the SD card.

If you bothered to look at the images provided by the OP, you will see that Link2SD is working fine. Changing the partition to Ext4 will not magically create more internal space.

See tats the problem wit link2sd. I used it for a long time after using data2sd. Now I'm back to daya2sd. It may boot slower but it gives u happiness.
