Hello all XDA community,
Is there a way to install A2SD+ on a ROM?
For example, I've got the gauner1986 Desire HD Rom and I would like to install more applications but there is a lack of memory.
I've see that A2SD+ can mount an ext2 or ext3 SDcard partition in order to extend memory.
Many thanks!

You can make Ext2 or Ext3 in Recovery (There work for A2SD). Unfortunately, ClockworkMod doesn't support Ext4 yet, but you can make an Ext4 partition in Ubuntu if you happen to be running it. Hope this helps
@HCDR.Jacob,
hey there, sorry i'm a noob but can you show me how to create atleast an ext3 in clockworkmod or ROM manager? i've been at it for sometime and i do think i've formatted my sd card with ext partition but when i install apps from market or appbrain it still uses the phone memory. any ideas where I go wrong?
Hi all guys.
It's possible to increase internal storage on HD2??
Total space is 281 MB. Right now i have 20 MB. T T
Anyone suggest?
Thank advance.
Wath build or rom give you this free memory, try app2sd then uninstall some apps
Personnly 30 apps install with 190 mb free under android. All apps are in sf ext partition. Search on forum
Send from my hd2 Under android By Mdj build.
If you want more storage, you have to either buy a t-mous version or make a partition on your SD card and using a2sd. That will save the applications to your memory card.

Yes. Try a rom that has data2ext. It uses secondary ext2/ext3/ext4 partitions to store internal data.
Hello
I installed JokerDroid ROM and I really like it. After fresh install i have 167mb of free internal memory ( because of a2sd). But as we know there are some problems with sense based roms (2.2.1) and AlphaRev - no setup wizard, no htc wallpapers... and MMS send/receive problem.
After that i flashed Sense fix. Now i got working setup wizard and most important I can send and receive MMS.
But the problem is that after fix i get only 120mb of free internal space and all new apps are installed on phone. Somehow that Sense fix destroyed a2sd option.
Is there a way how to fix this?
Thanks
The 167mb free memory after fresh installation is not because of a2sd. Make sure you have created ext partition correctly. Then install "a2sdgui" from market and see if it is working.

I installed ext partition correctly because i was using it normal last month with this ROM.
Before i created ext partition i got 120mb free with this ROM(fresh install) and after i created ext i get 167mb. Also after ext partition when i install angry birds it uses only about 2mb of internal storage, before about 22mb. So yes ext partition works.
The problem starts when i flash Sense fix.
Any idea?

No idea. I haven't used jokerdroid actually. So, maybe I'm out of knowledge. But I doubt getting 120MB free memory on fresh install (without ext partition).
And regarding angry birds, suppose if you install it without ext partition, I guess it will be installed to ".android_secure" folder of sdcard (atleast on stock froyo rom). Because it supports default apps2sd and also has default install location to sdcard (fat partition). So, maybe you shouldn't consider it on judging that ext partition works.

Re-enable A2SD using the terminal emulator with the required commands (a2sd reinstall and a2sd cachesd), or, download A2SD GUI from the market and re-enable it.
Just before I read this last post i fixed this problem with A2SDGUI. I found that after Sense Fix the dalvik cache was moved to internal storage. I just moved it back to sd and now it works.
Thanks to both of you for your answers.

Same as any rom, flash it in recovery. But if you mean running sense on a cyanogenmod rom it's more complex, you'd have to port it from another source

any way to resize it? i have deleted all unnecessary apps under /system/app and beed more space.
my system is sd AmericanAndroid
oops, post deleted - , sd android, didnt spot that
Isn't the system a *.img file? It's read-only...
Many ROM's like mine support data2sd which will free up a large amount of space.
can it be resized?

What can be resized?
Use Data2SD for your rom. But check or ask before, not all roms support data2sd.
I ve a 2048 MB data2sd partition for my ICS tytung rom. It works great
Resize data2sd? I dont know.
With CWM: full backup, increase the partition, restore?
Hallo together,
this is my first thread in this forum.
I plan to install the NexusHD2-JellyBean-4.1.2-CM10 V1.3a [NativeSD] on my Leo and I have one principal question:
I must have two partitons on the sd-card, one ext4 and one fat32. Which of those two partitions is the one all android apps are stored/installed on? Is it possible that all apps are installed on fat32-partition? In this case a size of the ext4-partition of 2 GB would be sufficient. But if all apps are installed in the ext4-partition it has to bigger, hasn't it?
Is there an app that manages all apps to be installed on sd-card (fat32-partition)? Is app2sd the right application?
I hope someone can give me some useful advice.
Greetings,
kteamchief
Which of those two partitions is the one all android apps are stored/installed on? ext4, if you installed rom with dataonext
Is there an app that manages all apps to be installed on sd-card (fat32-partition)? link2sd
Is app2sd the right application? yes, but you need to flash a2sd script first
you should choose one of three line above
I prefer to dataonext :laugh:
if the rom is nativesd, (it is) and you install it as nativesd, then there would be no point putting teh apps on teh fat32 partition, since they would already be on the faster ext partition anyway.
if you installed it as nand, then use a script to put teh apps/data on the ext partition, , teh fat32 partition is always going to be slowest.
