Hello guys.Im using Mdeejay Revolution Nand Android with app2sd support version on my HD2.i did partitioned my sd to fat32 and ext3 in order to have my device to read the ext3 as internal storage.The only issue that i have is the phone storage still decreasing even though the ext3 has been used as internal storage after i installed few apps.can some1 please tell me is this normal or what?tq in advance.

Okay, I use MDJ's CM7 2.4 build and I saw that to increase my internal memory for more apps I need to install Ext3/4 on my SD card. I think I did that successfully because it seemse that the apps don't use up much internal memory anymore and my SD card shows that it has 7 gigs of free space (I have a 8 gig card) so I presume the other 1gig is ext3. The problem is I cannot explore this partition. I searched but found nothing that could help me. Also if I decide to delete this partition what do I do? I tried formatting my card but it still shows 7 gigs. Thanks for all who decide to help me .
Hey,
Yh, I know: another app2sd+ question...
Tried using the search button, but did not find what I was searching for
I'm using the TyphooN CyanogenMod7 RC2 v2.5.5 ROM on my HD2 and was running low on internal memomy and used to send apps to my sd card, but some wouldn't not work and my internal memomery was low on memory.
So I decided to partition my 8GB scandisk sd card:
6.7 gb FAT32 en 800mb ext2
After I did that, I used a clean instal of TyphooN CyanogenMod ROM and everyhting works .
When I go to applications and then applications managing, I see that my internal memory is just 244 mb and my external memory 6.5 gb.
But what I don't understand :
Who do I move downloaded applications from my phone to the ext2 partition on my sd card instead on the fat32 partition ?
Does this (moving to ext2 partition) happen automatically when I download apps and move them to the SD card ?
The ext partition is considered internal, so if you manually move an app to the SD card, it will go from the ext partition to the fat partition and many wont work. When you have an ext partition you don't need to do anything. The rom will use the ext itself.
When you look at internal memory size it wont show the ext space, only the actual internal space. Say you instal a ten Meg app, that figure goes down ten even though its installed to ext, but it will go back up ten next reboot.
Thank you very much !
That was very clear, didn't find this somewhere else
I have an ext2 partition on my sd card and it is mounted under /data/sdext2 ,i have Kyrillos 3.3 rom but i dont know if a2sd works(free memory is low).
How can i confirm that,and use it?

I think it doesnt work in ext2 partitions! Make an ext4. You can see if it works with titanium backup on the first page, below it has the sdcard, internal and sdcard (a2sd)

it shows me
internal 201mb (60 free)
ds card 7gb (6.1free)
sdcard(a2sd) 219mb (17.7 free)
ext sd card7gb (6.1 free)
so probably it does not work with ext2.
First you must have a2sdfroyo it is availaibal in the market. It works on rooted phones only . Chek the case of external . With kyrillos i think you must have also ext4 partition in your sd card . It works with me very well
install some applications then go to titanium backup and move app to internal
make so after that
Internal storage full despite of big ext4 partition
Hello, I have a similar problem. I'm now running Kyrillos 4.0 and have a 1GB ext4 partition on the SD card.
In Titanium backup I can see that some apps were installed to the A2SD partition, but there is still plenty of space left on it.
Now my phone run out of internal storage and I can't install any more apps. Moving all apps to SD and back to internal with Titanium didn't help.
So how can I fill the A2SD partition and prevent apps from being installed to the internal storage?
Titanium backup says: Internal memory: 26.2 MB free; SD: 1,84 GB free; A2SD: 708 MB free.
Android system says: Warning, low space, Internal memory: 15,29 MB free !
Something is wrong and I don't understand...
where should the 2nd partition be mounted to work with a2sd automatically?
I have the exact same issue here. I've partitioned the sd with ext3 and now I have no internal memory left. I've got 280MB left on a2sd partition. Going into applications and moving what ever I can do SD doesn't change internal memory a single byte....
KYRILLOS, all the BEST for your EXAMs
As a new user I'm not allowed to post in the development forum (I would have preferred to do this just by a reply in your ROM forum)....
Thank's a lot!!!! Your WORK's making me love my phone.
Looking forward to more than "ohhhh, just mms app changed in 5.6?", which I've seen in the forum....
Go onn that way!!! And one more THANK YOU!
Hey guys,
hope someone could help me. I flashed the newest version of BoyPPC-Shift PDA. I partitioned my SD Card (8Gb) to Fat and EXT3. Now I have the problem with the internal memory. I also put the Data2SD folder and the .config to the SD Card before flashing the ROM with CWM.
Unfortunately it doesn't work. Do i have to partition the SD Card to EXT4 and put then the Data2SD folder and the .config to the SD Card? I don't have any experience with EXT4. Before i used Rafroid and everything worked fine with EXT3.
Thanks a lot for your help
i got the same problem exactly and apparently no one knows a solution i iwsh it was like DHD where it works automatically also note that this issue has been always there with all BOYPPC Builds if u go to to the Memory settings it reads the EXT3 size but all the apps are installed on the internal memory so i do not know whether it is a bad script or what exactly
Hello, i´m from germany and my english is not good...
but i try to help..
I use the BoyPPCShiftPDA DHD Rom with 1GB app2sd and my SD Card is completely formatet to FAT32 (8GB).
To use the app2sd feature i extract the files from the attachment and put the folder and the config file to my sdcard.
This works perfectly for me.
Hello Guys
I would like to know that if my SD Card 16GB has partition into 2 primary drive - FAT32, EXT3; and my android system is running on FAT32 partition, can I run the Link2SD to put all apps into EXT3 partition?
I try it and it shows the manual of the mounting partition. However, it shows the error message of mounting /dev/block/vold/179:2 on /data/sdext2 failed. I would like to use it even it is in SD version of Android so that I can minimize the usage of internal ROM. I use the traditional App2SD and the memory is gradually reduced when I install new apps.
Thanks

SD Android uses no ROM. The applications are stored on what is read by the system as 'internal storage' but is actually a data.img file which is normally 1gb, therefore you already have 1gb of your SD card dedicated to storage of apps. I don't know if you still would like A2SD despite this, but I thought this would probably influence your decision.

Thanks for your reply. When downloading apps, Android will treat it storage at the internal storage, that is, the memory reduces very fast. Using App2SD will help to show higher memory storage, which is similar to NAndroid. However, the memory is still lowered as it seems to move the apps only to outside, keeping data internally. Therefore, it can download up to 60-70 apps, but it is impossible to store like 200apps. Link2SD could solve it, but I cannot link to EXT3 after using it. Any suggestion on it?
