so i have been removing unwanted system apps with apps2sd, but i havent gotten barely any storage back? So i looked in the manage apps section of ROM toolbox and found that under system apps there is system storage, and under internal there is internal storage. Is there any way to merge the two to get more space?

Hey there I used to face this problem as you, what you have to do is open the terminal and right in it the following :
su
Then hit enter it will give you access as a super user then type:
a2sd cachesdreset
Now it will move all your dalvik-cache to the ext partition
And you will have around 90 mb free on your internal
Hit thanks if it helped you

I try this one also...thanks for the info
I noticed it said partition? Does this mean i need to partition my sd card? Because i have been holding off on that until i back my sd card up.

Yea you have to make 2 partitions one is fat32 and the other is ext2 but back everything on the memory card first

My 2GB SD Card has 3 partitions, the 1st is FAT(810mb), the 2nd is EXT2(510mb), and the 3rd is SWAP LINUX(512mb). When I typed the command above I saw a couple options checked in square brackets:
[x] No a2sd.swap environment variable found
[x] Problem detected: Darktremor Apps2SD may not have ran
[x] EXT partition is not mounted. Cannot continue.
Is there any way to fix it? Thank you in advance.

What is the ROM you are using? it seems it doesn't support a2sd anyway go to the play store and download an app called a2sdgui then open it and go to info tab check if it show your ext partition and swap if it does go to tab dalvik and press on move dalvik to sd ext then it will reboot and its gonna take some time to boot as well don't worry once it start go to storage info and your internal storage should be around 90 mb or more

How do I see my ROM?
I downloaded the app as you said and looks like it is working now, but when I press the "Swap is deactivated!" button in the first tab, it doesn't turn on. I formatted my 2SD card in CWM
EXT Partition: 512MB
SWAP: 256
Now , back on my PC, it shows that my card has only 1.12GB size. I don't know how to put my swap to work. Any idea would be great appreciatted.
Completely Format the SD card.. with any LLF(Low level Format) tools. It Just erase the partition Info and make it fresh. then Just use Partition manager such as Minitool, Easus partition to create FAT, ex3 or ex4, the swap. Then do the same process.

I formated only the last partition, which is the swap partition, using Mini Tool Wizard Partition Home Edition, and it still not working. I am afraid to format the whole card because I don't know how to recover all the apps that I already downloaded and installed. Would you know to do it? I got a back up in my PC hard drive. Only moving the files into back the card is not enough because I can't see it in my phone.

There aren't tutorials on what ROM you might choose. There is probably a sticky that list the ROMs with links to threads. You can go to the various threads, read, and make an informed choice... Or keep asking for ppl's opinion. You will find ROMs vary and you may prefer one for say the pretty widgets; Another might want a minimalist ROM. Not really a best rom; there is only what you feel is best for you.

Wrong place. Post this in the general thread. But I think some other a2sd scripts might be working with the release already.

0. Make backup of your SD card to PC.
1. Reboot to CWM\Recovery
2. Select "advanced" -> "Partition SD Card"
3. At the top of the screen you can see: "Ext Size" - this is the size of your future ext partition (you can choose any size you want, but 512 Mb more than enough)
4. Next you will see: "Swap Size" - the size of your future Swap partition. If you do not need in Swap, choose "0Mb"
5. Wait for the end of the process. WARNING! All of your data on the memory card will be deleted.
6. Reboot system now
this app is like Link2SD: only moving some apps on a ext partition
or this increasses internal memory?

It can do more than Link2SD, it can link /data/data to sd card's second partition
i mounted as ext4 and rebooted but when i checked partition info, it says zero.
This doesn't work on CM 10.1 pro.
it works on olddroids latest nightly, but only with ext4! faster than mounts2sd, and frees up more space than link2sd and it seems stable after 1 day
it works on 4.2.2.beta7 too, just make it system app and make an ext4 than tick ext4 without journaling

I am trying to enable the option to move data to sd-ext on my ARC S , but it is not working , tried the reverse mount and it doesn't work either.
It only allows my to move the application , and i want to move the application data as well , so i can install and use more apps.
I tried ArcKnight Kernel , Lupus Kernel , Advance Stock Kernel , and all didn't work.
I am using Xperia Ultimate HD 3.0.2 ROM.
Could it be rom related ?
You must have an ext partision. In recovery you find that option but you must use a rom and kernel that support .ext partision
to create sd ext use MiniTool Partition Wizard then you dont format sd card
I did already try ext3 and ext4 and if you read my post I did mention that it allows moving applications and mount2sd shows the sd-ext partition, it just does not allow data to be moved

Do you actually need the swap partition? Maybe you should just try to get link2sd running first.
And did you create your ext4 partition as a primary partition behind your fat32 partition? You could also try to use ext2 instead of ext4.
Problem
Ext4 is primary of course, ext2 not so quick as ext4, so what i shoul do?
So I have another one question, does Widfire s supported ext4, i use eoghan kernel for android 4, and custom rom by djoliver
Ok...

Ok... I had the same problem, I had a 32gb memory sd card so I thought 16gb for data and 16gb for music, BUT I folowed the tutorial and I found out the the mini partition tool box ruined my memory card... So I got a diffrentsd card, went into CWM recovery and If you go into the advance u will see something like partisioning. So if u go in that and select all u want and that should work... try to create 1gb or less... Since more than 1gb doesn't seen to be working well. After its done reboot and go to link2sd and it will see the partision so then u can select... ;D
Good Luck
James
P.S. Delete the curent 2nd partision before doing it, delete it with mini tool. If u want to see some magic flash data2sd.zip and u should see that the partision will be made as the internal memory and it will go there instead of linking ;D
Question
Thanks James I ll try it, but what the ext number created in recovery? EXT2? Or another?
Sd card wil formated?
Amm... I think ext2, but its better than nothing
P.S.: EXPLORE the recovery mode and you will find out more
Thanks
Thanks I do this
Can't you just use the Partition Wizard in ClockworkMod Recovery? Let's you choose your EXT size (upto 4GB) and a swap size (which i usually do 0M)...
Gl.
I also got the same problem with minitool partition wizard...ita useless in my case. So i tried partitoning with cwm which u cando by selecting partition sd card in advanced menu...it creates an ext2 partition. I suggest you to use cronmod's INT2EXT script as it seems far more better and easy than link2 sd!
Hit that "THANKS" button if i helped you...
Sent from my Wildfire S!
If you use a INT2EXT Flashable mod, then also partition from the Recovery too

After flashing Data2SD.zip, i got around 1.8GB as internal memory!! I have installed all the apps i need and things went fine till i restarted my WFS! After restarting all the apps installed on the ext2 partition were gone! All the widgets gone! Those missing apps seem to be unavailable. 5 mins after booting i got back the 1.8GB internal memory but the apps didn't get restored :crying: I can see them as list in Settings> Apps but not able to use them :crying: Any solution??? I'm using Sense3.5_v4.1 by idogx, m1ndh4x8r, Hintay and mstfkaratas, flashed Dust kernel.
hi all,
the main reason for me unlocking my arc s was to mount an ext4 partition so there was no more agro with running out of internal ram.
ive tried various roms with various kernals and various scripts, the closest i got to one working was latest vengeance + latest viper + int2ext4+
but it kept lagging on video and internet..
i really liked viper but hdmi missing so waiting or 6.5....
ive just put lupusv16 + UHD4 + UHD mod and it is very impressive, the screen is better almost as stock with bravia2, hdmi very good and camera also very good, the question is which script definatly works properly with this setup? i dont want to move swap to int, just link ext4 on sd to int ram ??
cheers

With lupus kernel ver16 for ICS
only CronMod- INT2ext works even with partition ext4.
Am using the same.Internal up to 2.5GB,stock. ICS 0587 with said kernel.

didnt work, hangs on boot...
Did you formated it correctly?
I mean, both partitions, fat32 and ext must be primary and some users told me that i have to do them with a sd reader...
I use Link2sd in GB and it works fine (ext4, 2GB minus the journal)

Hi,
i plugged my 8gb sd card into my laptop and wiped it, then created a 6gb fat 32 partition, a 1.7gb ext4 partition & the remainder about 300mb as swap. then mounted fat copied hd4 rom, hd4 mod and int2ext to it. then into phone, booted to recovery, installed rom as per thread, rebooted phone, left it 20 mins, booted to recovery, flashed hd4 mod, rebooted phone, left for 20 mins, booted to recovery, installed int2ext script. rebooted phone, then it hangs on boot..
from what ive seen the int2ext scripts are difficult to get working correctly with no lag, fc's ect.
cheers

First of you are on ICS 4.0.4/stock fw 0587 aren't you.
Cos lupus kernel ver16 is for ICS.
Like what angel said both has got to be primary.
Your 6gb/primary/Fat32
Your 1.6gb/primary/Ext4
You should delete link2sd,or any other CronMod extension versions from your sdcard before you flash the CronMod INTEXT2.
After done flashing go to mount n storage and format sd-ext.Reboot.
If everything goes well look in titanium backup or setting/storage.It will show the internal memory you just acquired.
If you get bootloop after that then wipe cache and delvic cache and reflash it again following the above procedure again.
But I don't think you'll come to that.If all requirements are met than its a piece of cake.
Try it again.And one more thing,it doesn't lag if not it only faster from my experience using it.
Tell us of the outcome.By the way clicking the thanks button would be sufficient enough to anyone who assist you in the future here on xda.
Cheers.

its working, i formatted it with recovery and it worked?, i then checked the partition on my laptop and it wasnt bootable but it still works?
i then deleted the ext4 partition on my laptop and repartitioned it and didnt make it bootable and the phone booted straight up working.
i did use int2ext+ this time and not int2ext
dont know why it didnt work before unless something had put a file on the partition?
anyway

Had you tried use an app for linking the ext rather than just install a script? I know that it's basically the same but still...
By the way, this is what i do, and its working:
0- Make a nandroid backup
1- Install Mini partition tool wizard
2- Clear the sd - Clic on apply
3- Create a new fat32 partition (13355 MB, 13GB) Default cluster and set as primary - apply
4- In the unnalocated space make the ext 4 partition (2GB - Journal) set as primary - apply
5- Copy the backup into the sd
6- format everything like when you install a new rom
7- restore
8- Download link2sd and select the ext partition
9- Reset
10- Move apps to it :/
My sd card is class 10 but honestly i dont feel so much difference with a class 4 :/

Thanks for taking the time to reply
i re installed rom & mod again, tested game and it was fine, so its def the script, i used int2ext this time instead and it was slightly better as it leaves data on internal for speed so im going to leave it untill i get a class 10 card then try int2ext again.
