Hi
What a2sd script can i use to move everything to the sd ext?? I'm using RSK Satelite ROM, and want an other A2sd script, so everything is moved to the ext. cach, davlik cach, lib,.... because i still have problems with the memory.
You on the cm7r2 hboot version of the Rom? That should give you more space.
I'm not sure exactly how the 'a2sdx' script works exactly, but most scripts of this type move apps and dalvik automatically. I'd be surprised if this one didn't do the same or similar because that's their main purpose
Try an app like diskusage, browse your partitions to check how they're being used, and understand why you're currently getting low memory in the first place.
Your partition should also be created with 4EXT recovery or gparted only
First of all, CHECK if the CM7r2 is compatible with your ROM.
Second, I suggest to also try Mounts2SD compatibility. Works like a charm on my CM7.2.0.1 rom. A2SD kinda let me down..

have you partitioned your sd card correctly?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=SD_card_partitioning
check your roms original thread to see what sort of partition you need.
which ROM do you have... and was A2SD+ part of the ROM, or sth you added?
I think I read somewhere that some A2SD+ implementations don't move the Dalvik cache over to SD. The (easiest) method to add dalvik to SD likely depends on the A2SD implementation.
Use S2E , download it from Market.
thanks.
what is better for a2SD, ony ext3 or ext3 and swap???
The a2sd script in Cool's AceS v1 does move the dalvik cache to the sd card, so most likely the card isn't formatted correctly. I suggest you use gparted or a similar tool to format your card like this: first the FAT partition, then the ext 2/3 one (note that some roms require you to have an ext 4 partition, but this is not the case of AceS; anyway, make sure you read the thread thoroughly before flashing). Also, make sure the ext partition is no larger than 2048 MB (i.e. 2 GB), since you might experience market problems. Swap is not used by most roms you'll want to flash these days, so don't worry about it too much, unless the thread mentions so.
Just to mention, S2E is only for cyanogen mod, as it's stated in the app's description, so don't use it with other roms (which have other a2sd scripts). Also, before formatting, don't forget to backup your data
Good luck!

Hello guys!
i'm new here just want to say that it's probably the best site for modding.
I have a desire with Ginger sense ROM.
Link2sd is free on the market. Uses ext and fat partitions. I have link2sd on my Kyocera Zio m6000 which only has a total of 180mb in data and I have 137mb free. Link2sd allows you to create a symbolic link for app data dalvik-cache and lib files of the app you want to move to SD. Plus with the symbolic links you get to keep your Widgets.

Dalvik Cache will take up space on "Internal storage" by default on some A2SD + ROMs, but it can be moved
You can move this by running "terminal emulator" from the market and typing:
Code:
su
a2sd cachesd
or with adb:
Code:
adb shell
a2sd cachesd

please note that davebugyi's suggestion only works if you're using the Darktremor a2sd script
Hey I recently changed from an insertcoin a2sd rom where I had over 100mb worth of system space after moving most apps to SD. I've now moved the Cyanogenmod 7 which lets you move all apps to SD but I only have 55mb of space?
Is there any way to increase this space?

You did already flash a2sd script, didn't you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10675412&postcount=2
If yes, go s-off and flash cm7 hboot:

Nice guide how to this;

No warranty for any damage.
MatDroid, thanks. This also helps me.
I didn't realise you needed to flash a2sd in addition to the CyanogenMod 7 or CM7, which I am using. I switched from Leedroid, and it looks great.
I am getting low disk space warnings.
So, can I flash the Google or CyanogenMod A2SD they are talking about here AFTER I've been using the new Rom for a couple of days?
Second question, will this automatically manage my apps from internal to external storage for me?
Thanks!
Why not use something like Rom Manager to partition your sd card and s2e?
After flashing darktremor's A2SD script, I recommend to download a2sdGUI from market. With this program you are able to move apps and dalvik-cache to EXT partition. After a successfull reboot all apps you installed and the dalvik-cache are moved to EXT and all new apps will be automatically moved there.
To make sure everything worked (after the named reboot), you should download a terminal emulator from Market and enter these commands:
Code:
su
ls -l /data
Post the output here.
Great information!
Can I flash Darktremor's script after I've been using the CyanogenMod? Or do I need to reflash the ROM and start over from the beginning?
Where's a good place to go for Darktremor's script?
Thanks
Should work even you used the rom for a while. But make a nandroid backup, just in case. Check cyanogenmod-thread here on xda.
here is the link for the script http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=719151
yh you have to start from the beginning. wipe everything, than flash the rom and flash the script straight after
Cyanogenmod like to use thisapp2sd [Script/APK] S2E (simple2ext): app2sd for CyanogenMod7
As far as I know, after flashing the script (which I can highly recommend) the OP can follow my guide without wiping anything. Nevertheless, backups (Titanium Backup + Nandroid) should be created before doing anything!!
Thanks MatDroid, this helped a lot.
I have installed the LeeDroid ROM v3.3.3 Port R5 on my Desire and I downloaded the A2SDGUI app from the market. But it gives an error saying phone is not rooted (which it obviously is) or A2SD scripts not found or ext partition not found. How do I make this app run on my phone? I have Superuser installed and A2SDGUI is given permission. Kindly help.
Thanks in advance!
Did you configure your SD Card with a FAT32 and an EXT partition?
Yes I did. I have followed all instructions given for LeeDroid's ROM properly. I used GParted Live CD to make the FAT32 partition and a 1gb ext3 partition on my SD card.
Followed guide on Leedroid thread to get A2SD working?
You know a2sdGUI only works with Dark Tremor a2sd scripts? I dont think leedroid uses Dark Tremor.
@Matdroid
Before installing LeeDroid I had created the ext3 partition. I presume A2SD is working because my apps are installed to the ext3 partition and not in the internal memory. Do I have to do anything else?
@rootsu
Then A2SDGUI wont work on my phone?

Not right now. Not without the Dark Tremor a2sd+ Solution in place.
If you followed leedroid guide for A2SD+, you don't need A2SDGUI.
SwiftKeyed from CyanogenMod with Transparent XDA App
The only reason I was looking for the A2SDGUI was to try to move the dalvik cache to ext partition. Or is it already in the ext partition in LeeDroid ROM? I dont know.
Also inspite of having a ext partition my internal memory is getting reduced bit by bit with every app that I install. I thought I had got rid of the 'lack of internal memory to install apps' problem by having an ext partition. What data is occupying the internal memory now?

Apps still take up the space on Internal memory. Thats the way it is.
You have to flash the dalvik cache script in the leedroid thread, post 1
Like Mat said, if you read the thread, you would know the answer.
I have downloaded the 'move dalvik to sd.zip' file from LeeDroid's thread. I read somewhere that A2SDGUI also does the job so I wanted to try it out. I guess I will just flash the zip now. Thanks for your replies.

As stated many times, A2SDGUI does the work... with DarkTremor's script, but Leedroid's ROM does not have it.
This place can be so much hard work sometimes

Appreciate all you guys taking the trouble of answering my questions. I really have very little knowledge of rooting and stuff. Just venturing in this field. So far I have managed to read the guides posted here and root and install a custom ROM. Now trying to understand dalvik cache and stuff.
Thanks once again.
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

You should try using this script:

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
I'm trying to install m2sd on cm7. I do a full wipe, install the Rom, gapps, and m2sd script. After starting up I enable m2sd for apps and reboot. Then I start installing software, but they take up space on internal memory. After moving them to sd they don't go to ext partition but to the fat one.
What could be the issue?
how did you partition you sd card? should be done with gparted (step 5 here) or 4ext recovery only (not minitool or clockworkmod recovery).
depending on the options chosen for m2sd, some stuff will still take space on internal, for instance app data is best left on internal for performance. use an app like 'diskusage' to browse all your partitions.
make sure you're also s-off and on cm7r2 hboot to maximise space (have a look for further guides if this doesnt make sense).
Try also enabling dalvik cache to sd.
Or the data + r-mount combination (which is I'm using now with no problem at all).

I just did it all again, to make sure I used gParted, so I'm sure I have 10gig Fat32, 4gig EXT4 and 256meg Swap. Then I did a full wipe of the phone, installed cm7, gapps, and when the system booted I installed and configured m2sd APK and rebooted. Still, in the gui section you can see "File System Type: N/A". It looks like it didn't recognise the FS but I have tried setting that to auto and EXT4
EDIT
Does anyone know what a2sd script has been used in THIS rom?

follow the guide again...
4gb ext4 partition is too much, you won't even need that much for apps! absolute maximum that i've read you should use is 2gb, personally i recommend 1.5gb.
you also don't need swap.
both partitions also need to be primary as per the guide.

that rom uses terminal emulator to enable A2SD. follow the guides/instructions in that thread.
