Hello XDA,
Can anyone instruct me on how i would go about disable Apps2SD on my Cyanogen 2.7.1 Mytouch3g? Thanks.
By posting in the Q&A
But follow the guy below me's answer. Meant to put that to not seem like a butt, but forgot
If you don't have a partitioned sd card it will be disabled. Just have one partition (fat32) and viola, no apps2sd
perhaps a way to disable without having to re-partition an sdcard (currently using apps2sd) would be helpful?

Format your ext2 partition as fat32.

Is there a way to move the apps of the partition first? Just mv everything into /system/data?

exactly what i wanted to ask...
Any help with this?
You could try removing them all from the SD card and just install them using a batch file, any data that was created should still be on there as you just removed the .apk and they won't be modified. And to format the SD card, easiest way I know how is just flash AmonRa's recovery image and use the option in there, but before you do, take all the files off of your SD card.
hi guys i have been searching the forums for tutorial on how to properly partition your sd card and your phone to use a swap partition for swapper. i heard it allows speed up performance for the phone while using some apps. can anyone pls help me with this. i just want a better performing GT540. thanks in advance
I'd be interested in a tutorial for this as well.
Thanks
Most opperating systems have a built in manager for it, including windows. Look on YouTube, that's how I did mine.
Or use clockworkmod.

On windows you can create partitions but swap belongs to linux so unless you use a ubuntu live CD or a machine with ubuntu...

A ext2 partitions is the same on all operating system
Clockworkmod will also partition you sdcard
So i just create an ext2 partition on my sd? Then what's next?

Back ur memory card up first. Depending what size memory card you have depends on the size of the partition
The most you will need is 2gb, I would only us 500mb.(2gb sdcard)
You need to have a fat32 partition for your normal data and the ext2 for the swap file. Then just put it back in you phone.
BTW I lost my last memory card trying to unpartition it. So if you only want 1 extra paelrtition use clockworkmod.

after this, how can i configure swapper 2??
Thanks in advance
I think you tick a box. Download swapper2 from the market place, one of them has more options than the other
How do I format the SD card as Ext4 and then make a partition of about 750mb on it?
If you have a card reader you could just boot your computer with linux (live cd or usb stick) and use linux tools (gparted etc) to partition the card.

Do I need a card reader, I put my phone in Disk Drive and then tried gparted but it couldnt find it, Il try a card reader tonight!
You can actually just connect via USB. Then right click on it in Linux and chose Format. Then go into the advanced options. (I use Ubuntu and have used LinuxMint in the past)

If the rom you're using supports A2SD (every rom doesn't) there's probably instructions in the thread for that. Here's from LeeDroid's thread:
LeeDroid said:
Q: What is A2SD+
A:
A2SD+ Moves your apps & Dalvik cahche to a hidden EXT partition on your MicroSD
You will be required to format you SD card with 2 partitions as laid out below
How do i set up my MicroSD ready for A2SD+
A:
Backup all data on you SD card (this will be Formatted)
The card should be formatted with your standard FAT32 partition 1st followed by an EXT3 partition (I would recommend a minimum 512mb)
Linux users use GParted or a similar software.
For everyone else I would recommend using Rom Manager or CWM
Once you have downloaded ROM manager from the market, open the app and click partition SD Card, Select your EXT size and set 0mb for swap
Restore your data to your SD.
Flash the A2SD+ Patch
Boot << Please be aware, 1st boot may take a while depending on how many apps you have installed.

Thanks! Im using RCMix3D at the moment, im not sure if it has A2SD though, if it doesnt is there a way to get it like just flashing it or something?

As I said, every rom doesn't support A2SD and those who do have it probably mentioned in the OP of the rom thread (RCMix3D doesn't atm). You can't add A2SD support by flashing, you can only flash the A2SD patch to a rom that supports it.

Oh alright then, Il have to find another way to get apps to sd I guess!
Thanks for your help!
Excuse me for going off-topic a bit
But why are there so many people focused on moving every application to the SD card?
It can't be for the space... I just counted and I have 70 apps installed on my internal memory, using 274 MB with 883 MB free.
I just don't get it?

I dont know about other people but for me, there is a new rom out every day and full wiping makes sure nothings wrong and if the apps are on the SD then its just easier you dont have to worry about losing your apps
But always you can use Titanum Backup to backup your apps.
Hmm.. So, ext4... For what? I know, ext4 is newest than ext3, but performance ext4>ext3 or for what?

ext4 is the same as ext3, but has journalling initialised that makes it more fault tolerant. Don't take my word for it read me here

Have you partitioned your SD card correctly so that it works with a2sd?

I think so, I partitioned it Ext4. what else do I have to do?
Please list the exact partition config you have on your SD card. That way we'll hopefully be able to see the problem. Also please tell us which ROM you are using.

Ok I have an Ext4 745.20mb partition with 28mb used (I dont know what its used on)
Im using RCMix3D but I installed the A2SD script and I know its working because I can use A2SD Commands!

Sorry, you have an SD card with a single 745MB ext4 partition?
Can you post your exact SD card partition info - all partition sizes, file systems, and in what order they are partitioned.
Also, your ROM - have you asked this question in the relevant thread?

Sorry what I meant was my first partition was 6.69gb and Fat32, Then I partitioned 750mb off as Ext4.
Data first and then A2SD partition second is usually the right way around but I am not familiar with your ROM. For example, does it support EXT4?
Might be worthing popping over to the thread for your ROM in the Development forum and asking around there.

Yeah I did data first, and yeah it does support EXT4.
The rom doesnt actually have A2SD in it, but I put it in myself so its probably no use asking in the rom thread.
I've tried everything, I've partitioned it on linux, gparted, minitool partion on windows, Clockwork recovery, none work.
Thanks for your help anyway!
I have installed MIUI.us-Leo-2.4.27-HWA.ZIP in to my HTC HD2. Everything is working fine except Camera and phones internal memory is very low, only 25MB resulting cannot update any existing applications.
My phones total internal memory memory is 151MB and available is only 25MB.
SD card total space is 15GB and available is 9GB which is fine.
Total downloaded applications are 26 only, so it is not that I have too many application downloaded.
I moved most of the downloaded and other applications to SD card by using titanium backup. Few could not be moved for unknown reason as it does not give me option to move.
Can anyone please help me to increase my internal memory to at least at 70 or 60MB please.
Would appreciate your help.

i have used a few MIUI roms & did not have that problem
what is the data.img that you used?
are you using NAND rom? in that case what was the size of the partition you used, did you follow the recommended size?
Internal Space Low

Yes, it is NAND ROM. The recommended partition was above 200mb and I used 250mb, so it was okay.
All I need to increase my internal space at least to 60 or 70mb so that application update can be done.
Many thanks
The ROM suggested 200, but you installed 250. You just lost 50 worth o internal storage.
You'll need to install an A2SD script, in order to be able to use your sd card as an internal storage. (of course, after making an ext2 partition )

I have A2SDGUI installed but don't know how to use this to increase internal space .Please advise me in details how do I perform ext4. I will be very much grateful to you. Will wait for your response.
Many thanks.

Marvlesz, I looked for 200MB partition but could not find anywhere. That's why I installed 250MB. There are only 3 options they gave which is 150MB, 250MB & 400MB. Please suggest me in details how I would be able to do ext2 or ext4 using A2SD
