my a2sd storage is 683mb and internal storage is 63mb, what if my internal storage is full, what will happen, the left over file i install will go to a2sd storage? or it shows my internal memory is full and some apps need to be delete?
When internal memory is full you have to delete apps or if you have space on system partition left you can move them from /data/app to /system/app.
If you really want to install a lot of apps you might want to look in to changing your MDT partition or using Data2sd.
Bear in mind that you can also use cache cleaners to free up some space.

then there's no point to get a a2sd+ partition more than 500mb right?
Is there a way to choose your apps to install to internal storage or a2sd+ storage?
You can make a partition of 512 MB, which should be suffice. If you plan on installing hundreds of apps, you may want to set your partition to 1024 MB.
You can choose to either install apps either to internal memory or partially (the app data) to external storage (sd card) in Settings > Applications > Manage Applications. Select the app, select 'Move to phone' or 'Move to SD card'. After installation of some apps, by default, will either install to internal memory or to the SD card.

Here's a question I wondered about A2SD...
When you connect phone to USB/PC and mount the SD card as mass storage then the phone can't use the SD. Any apps which were installed on the normal SD partition (using Froyo move to SD) would stop working.
Am I right in assuming that this isn't true for the rooted A2SD EXTx partition - As windows can't see the EXTx partition would I be correct in thinking the phone would still have it mounted correctly. Apps installed on there (SMS app etc) would continue to work when the SD was mounted by PC. I currently have my card formatted with an EXT3 partition, but I'm running a non A2SD rom.
I noticed that ChompSMS now has the standard 'move app to SD' available, but I assumed that doing so would prevent the SMS working if my phone connected to PC for file transfers.
Ta.
Yes ext will stay mounted.
Is there a way to keep security apps such as track and protect or protector on the internal memory? Otherwise they would be easy to disable by just removing the sd card.
I noticed a problem on my Desire. I'm running 7.0.3 cyanogen and none of the installed apps seem to be moving to the SD card.
For example, I install an app, move it to the SD card via the settings panel. It states that the app has moved, but the internal memory does not change. Only when I uninstall the app does the internal memory free up.
I deleted all of my ~20 apps (all on SD) to find that my internal free memory went from 9MB to 93MB. What may be the problem here?
CyanogenMod do not officially support a2sd

So you need to download Legacy A2SD from here:

I had no idea that they didn't support it :/
Now I have 146 of 147MB of internal memory free, and a bunch of apps installed. Thanks for the info
I've got 125 MB free on my internal storage and when I try to update apps like facebook it says "insufficent storage space". I have Facebook linked to my SD card. On my SD card I've got 1.1GB free. What's the problem?
I have a HTC one m8, not rooted, Android 6.0 and set my SD card as internal storage but when I want to install apps from the play store I keep getting the message about not having enough memory but the SD has 32gigs free space.
How can I get the apps to install normally? I also can't move any app to the SD card.
Hi, how much internal storage is left for installing apps on the 32/128 GB version?
