[Q] m2sd does not seem to be working on mildwild v5?

i have installed m2sd http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342387 via aroma installer and enabled apps, dalvik and cmdalvik. Installed fine...but when i go to settings-->storage--> i still have 148mb internal storage... any idea?

so this assumes you have an ext partition on your sd card, hopefully created with gparted or 4ext recovery (NOT minitool or clockworkmod recovery)
depending on your method of moving apps to sd-ext, a lot of the time it won't show your total internal memory as "internal + sd-ext", your apps should still be moved to sd-ext, you shouldn't need to 'move to SD', keeping it on internal tricks the apps to sd-ext. check using an app like 'diskusage'
regardless, you are still on stock hboot so are wasting space. Currently your rom system size is ~140MB out of 250MB stock hboot system size, wasting 110MB, and only 148MB data (internal memory).
if you change to cm7r2 hboot (requires s-off), it has 145MB system, so you waste only 5MB, and get 287MB data. this larger data partition is usually enough for app data and dalvik cache, so no need to move dalvik to sd-ext.
have a look here or google, search for guides on s-off if you're not already (use revolutionary), and how to change hboot

yup already have ext partition.. was using a2sd and int2sd on my previous sense rom... ok will try to install some apps and see if i still get insufficient storage warning...
i switched from cmr2 hboot to stock hboot as from time to time i flash an ICS/JB rom to see their progress.
thx for the explanation

I've used to for few weeks on the same Mild Wild Rom, it worked like a charm, btw I have the stock HBOOT installed, maybe it will fix your problem

Question about [ROM][Jan 23. 2013] MildWild V-4.9 JG

Hello, I had older version of this ROM , and there was a function in Settings>Applications, to move application to SD card/To phone/To SD-ext.
Now in the newest version of this ROM there is no such thing as Move to SD-ext. Maybe someone could tell me how can I move apps to sd-ext ?

Mildwild removed this option from around V-4.3, which is why I'm still on that rom. It allowed you to choose apps on internal, sd-ext or classic froyo apps2sd.
The latest version moves apps and dalvik cache to sd-ext automatically, you don't have to do anything. As long as you have a correctly partitioned sd card (4EXT or gparted), it will work.
Keep apps on internal to trick them to sd-ext, i.e. don't 'move to SD' . Also use cm7r2 hboot to maximise space as well.
If you install another app like 'diskusage', it will tell you how all your partitions are being used.

I partitioned my card correctly, because on earlier version it worked, but now it shows me o 65mb used and 82mb free. My partition is 1GB. So i assume something is wrong because apps are not moved to sd-ext automatically ?

Install diskusage like I said, you should see your sd-ext partition being filled up. You need to understand what is stored where.Your user app apks and dalvik cache should be automatically moved to sd-ext, and app data should be on internal memory (data partition),
However, 65MB used and 82MB free is your internal memory correct? This adds up to 147MB, which means you are on stock hboot. With diskusage look at your system partition, on stock hboot you will see a lot of free space on /system which is completely wasted. You should change hboot to cm7r2 to use space more efficiently.
Your rom system size is ~140MB. On stock hboot, your system size is 250MB, so you waste 110MB. cmr72 hboot has 145MB system, so you waste only 5MB. The saved space is converted to extra internal memory, 147MB increases to 287MB
What I believe is that your sd-ext partition is working fine, except that your internal memory (/data) appears to be filling up quickly because it is only 147MB, when when it should be 287MB total by simply switching to cm7r2. 287MB should be filled up by app data only (not apps or dalvik), which is plenty.
To change hboot you need to be s-off:
- Nandroid backup
- Get the hboot from alpharev.nl, then flash cm7r2 hboot using fastboot, guide here
- Reboot back to recovery, full wipe and restore nandroid.

[Q] Best ROM for space

Hi,
I've had to bring my Desire out of retirement until the end of my contract.
I am currently running Cyanogen Mod 10.0.0 but I am down to little space and apps don't update and I can't add new ones.
I have an SD card with 1 GB ext3 storage on it.
Which is the best configuration/ROM to allow me to have enough space to download all the apps I want without significant lag please?
Cheers

Do you understand current configuration first to understand why you're low on space?
- Have you run the A2SD commands from terminal emulator i.e. moved apps and dalvik to sd-ext?
- Is your /data (internal memory) partition full, or is it your 1GB sd-ext? Could you create a bigger partition?
- Check your /data partition with an app like 'DiskUsage', you may have some updated system apps like Play Store on /data which you could move back to /system.
If you have genuinely run out of space on that ROM, the limiting issue is stock hboot which I assume you are running. Even with apps and dalvik moved to sd-ext, you only have 147MB space for app data which can still run out.
Switch to a different hboot (requires s-off) with smaller system, and a ROM which moves apps and dalvik to sd-ext. I recommend one of Mildwild's, MW10 based on redux will fit onto OxygenR2 hboot with 332MB /data partition for instance.
I also recommend to repartition your sdcard with max 2GB ext4 partition if you have enough spare sd space. ext4 is also slightly faster than ext3.

Thanks,
I'll try to deal with everything.
apps and dalvik have been moved using terminal emulator and yes, it's the 147MB that is the issue, not the ext3.
I have s-on
So if I have the s-off can I incorporate my ext3 or ext4 with internal storage to create a much bigger internal storage?
Cheers

Not quite
S-OFF is merely an enabler, in this case it allows you to change hboot.
It has nothing to do with your sd-ext partition. This is handled by the A2SD script. Your internal memory still won't read 'internal + sd-ext' like it is currently, but the sd-ext is still doing its job.
What I would recommend:
- Titanium backup all user apps, backup contacts to Google, SMS with SMS backup and restore if you want
- Flash 2.3.3. RUU from here, put PB99IMG.zip on root of sd card and boot to bootloader, accept it when found
- Run Revolutionary to gain s-off (search for guides)
- Flash 4EXT recovery (see my sig, use fastboot or 4EXT app)
- Switch hboot using fastboot (to OxygenR2 if using Mildwild 10)
- Reboot to recovery, full wipe ("wipe all partitions except sd card" option)
- Flash ROM.zip
- Restore

[Q] Internal memory and sd ext

hello guys
im using CyanoMod007 (CM10.1.2 | JB 4.2.2 | A2Ext+) [STOCK | CM7] [v31 | 07/08/13] rom and i have a problem.
i though my apps would go in the 1gb sd ext partition i created, intead i have my internal memory with 148mb almost full. what have i done wrong?

How did you partition your sdcard? Should be done with 4EXT recovery or gparted only, not minitool or clockworkmod recovery
Your internal memory will read 148mb because you're still on stock hboot.
You can increase it slightly by changing to cm7 hboot (requires s-off) and installing the cm7 version if the ROM.
However your internal memory still won't read 'internal + sd-ext'. You may need to activate a2sd using terminal commands, should be in the ROM op or search the thread.
Move apps and dalvik to sd-ext, most of the time you need to keep apps on internal to trick them to sd-ext (do not 'move to sd')
Finally check all your partitions by installing DiskUsage app and see how your /sd-ext and /data (internal memory) is filling up, understand HOW your memory is being used

tnks for your reply mate...
im still new to all this, what i can tell you is that i used 4ext to partition the card and then recovered a backup i had. its s-off.

Before you do anything, install DiskUsage as advised.
- Browse to your /sd-ext partition, you may need to enable root permissions. If it's not filling up with your apps then you haven't activated A2SD.
- Browse to your /system partition, you'll find that you have a lot of free space here as you are still on stock hboot. This is effectively wasted space. If you change hboot you'll have a smaller /system and therefore larger /data (internal memory) :good:
So like I said, if you want app space, change to CM7r2 hboot using fastboot commands (search for a guide), full wipe and install the ROM again.
Follow the instructions as written in the first post to activate A2SD. Recommend you choose to move dalvik cache only to sd-ext.

phone memory low even in2extv2+ installed

Hello ALL!
i have htc desire with stock hboot s-off.
1gb Ext3 on sd,
Nikez Lente ICS 4.0.4 installed
after that i decide to install some memory swap script to increase memory
i installed int2extv2+ .
Luckily it successfull installed . i can see internal memory 1gb (my sd ext mounted as internal storage)
but after installing some applications i get notification "phone storage memory full"..
what to do please help.. but internal storage is still 400MB free (sdext)
Thanks

I think u have to activate the script by terminal emulater like how u do a2sd but I never used int2ext.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Free mobile app

- Find out what is using your internal memory first. Install something like DiskUsage, enable root and browse your actual /data partition. It should be 147MB total size. It's probably filling up despite the script. This may explain the low memory warning
- How did you partition your sd card? Should be done with 4EXT recovery or gparted only, not clockworkmod or minitool
- Did you install the correct version of the script for your partition? I've only used it once on a different phone / ROM. I used in2ext4+ or something like that, suitable for an ext4 partition, seemed to work
You could repartition to an ext4 partition (slightly faster than ext3), and pick the version of the script which moves apps and dalvik cache to the sd-ext.

Why don't you try Beanstalk RC6 4.4.4 + mounts2sd? You will never have low mem issues.. specially if u move everything to ext4. The thing is you need a good sd card..
