a2sd memory problem

hey !
I've partitioned my sd as 256mb a2sd and my all apps are installed in that memory..but now a2sd partition is full and i cannot install any app..It says memory full( but I've 132mb left in phone's internal memory). so my question is how can i use that memory to install my apps.

wen, app2sd becomes not worthy for u, u r left with data2sd..
to enable data2sd--
1st of all delete the app2sd script..
flash any fugumod kernel..
then make a file & write in it "mmcblk0p2"..
rename the file to "fs.data2sd"
move fs.data2sd to /sdcard/Android/data/fugumod
restart..
u r done... )

And my question was how to install apps on internal memory( which is 132 mb free ).. how to use that memory ?

App2SD script is present in /system/etc/init.d. If you want to delete it, you can do it using root explorer. Mount system as rw and delete it.

that is not possible.. coz ur whole /data gettin mounted to mmcblk0p2 partition, so ur internal memory becomes useless..
***but I think that will increase ur system space... (jst a thought, correct me if I m wrong) )

Hmm. So you are saying that the whole data partition including /data/data also goes to SD with this??

Oh. You are right then. . And also we would need an SD card of high class in order for this to work smoothly.

That s ok. You can use apptosd v2. But this method described here, I don t know. Since the entire data partition is moved, you would probably need atleast a class 4 SD card.
But if you want to delete the apptosd script, delete it from /data/etc/init.d using rootexplorer. But your datas will remain in the sd-ext partition only. So don t know how you are going to recover that.

fs.data2sd should be in /sdcard/Android/data/fugumod for fugumod kernel
or
fs.data2sd should be in /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod for g3mod kernel

[Q] clockworkmod backup/recovery with apps on sd card

If I have apps stored on SD will clockworkmod backup/recovery take care of these - ie will it restore the apps back to the sd card after a recovery?
Thanks.

You mean sd-ext? Yes it will backup everything except photos,music things like that......

ok, thanks

Yes it backs up all the apps on sdcard. Both the sd-ext apps and the .android_secure folder apps.
During restore of a nandroid backup it will first format the sd-ext and .android_secure folder and then restores their contents to it. So it will not mess up the things generally (unless u use the advanced restore to restore the contents to a different rom).

So this would work to backup apps on Sd, then restore them back to the Sd? I got a tun of apps on installed on my Sd card.. i've been wondering the best way to backup/restore them between flipping back and forth with different mods.
Thanks in advance!

[Q] How can I make my ext partition on my SD card bigger?

I have Android in NAND and I was running out of memory. So I made an partition on my SD. So that apps automaticly are going to install on my SD. That partition was 2GB. I use a ton of apps and within a week the partition was full. So how can I make that partition bigger WITHOUT losing any data?

Do a full cwm backup (titanium backup too, just in case)and also backup the fat partition of the SD card, reformat to desired size, then in cwm choose backup/restore, advanced - restore sd-ext, then restore your fat partition stuff too(important that bit, because there's android stuff on the fat partition too)
you can potentially just do a full restore from cwm rather than a selective sd-ext restore, but id try the selective restore first.

A little bit off topic, but what kind of apps are you talking about?
I have over 100 apps, and my 1GB ext partition is not even half full.
Are you sure it's 2GB ?

+1 - I have a fair number of apps including games and stuff, most of which are in my EXT partiton, and yet I have only used up around 350MB. Are you linking the libs files as well?Or did you create a smaller partition than you thought, as Marvlesz suggested (perhaps 256MB)?

When I want to get something like Facebook, Maps or Songpop it says that I have not enough space those apps are around 10mb. When I go to settings it says that I have 28mb. But if I want to get something big like Minecraft it installs it without a problem.

You have to flash an a2sd script that suits your needs

Ohh, and before I go, don't ask us which is the best, there is no best .
And the one I'm using is this : INT2EXT+

I installed INT2EXT+ and it f*cked up my rom. When I boot up I get only force closes. So it made my phone unusable. Had to flash my rom back.

Most of the scripts have to be flashed right before instalation of the rom.
So flash a script in a rom with all the apps already installed is not a good idea.

flash the script BEFORE the rom?? that would be a neat trick to see.
@op, i use int2ext+ with the aokp jb rom from that thread, , flash the rom, let it set up, (dont bother with for example google account details and what not, just let it set up till you see the desktop).reboot, flash the script(you HAVE created teh ext partition already right? cos this script doesnt create it), reboot, then install your apps and data and such .

Start from page one, and press the "Thanks" button for everyone that helped you (or even just tried to), yes, including me.
That is better than saying "Thank you" a million times.

[Q] my hd2 only has 151mb of internal storage

why does my hd2 have 151mb of internal storage and only 91mb for installing apps. i have NexusHD2 ROM.:crying:

You have a 512MB HD2 (European). And most of that is taken by the system partitions and whatnot. You need data2ext or sth like that so that you can have more storage.

create ext4 partition on your sd card using mini partition tool, it will increase your internal memory.
Hit thanks if it helped :laugh:

it's normal that you have only this storage memory, Nexushd2 ROM are consuming a lot of memory.
You can move your apply on your sd-card if you have one or you can do that Rahil S say.

but i dont know how to create an ext4 partition on sd card, can someone please guide me through on how to do this.:crying:

I'm sorry, you will have to look for that yourself.
You can use the link in my signature, it's an HD2-specific search.

So when the ext partition is created, will some of the internal memory still be used up by apps that are on SD.
Sent from my NexusHD2 using xda app-developers app

When you create an ext partition, it becomes the internal memory for apps. No need to move anything to SD.

Yes but i have created ext partition of 1gb, yet I still get low memory message. I used titanium back app.

No. Even after creating the ext4 partition, data and apps won't move on their own. You need to reflash the rom with the option "DataOnExt".
You can use TB to backup your apps, and restore after you re-install.

Is there another way, cause I don't want to mess around with the flashing stuff as I have bricked my phone in the past. I mean is there an alternative to flash like partition the SD card and use app like link2sd to move app data to sd

Sorry for getting in the middle of your conversation,
but i believe that the best solution is data onext that it was stated above.
Tou should really give it a try!

Are you looking for 10 posts also? Because we've already agreed that DataOnExt is the best option. He DOES want to give it a try, so your post is pointless = You are looking for 10 posts. What's the sudden interest in the HD2 section for spamming?
Also, NO. Your apology for interrupting this conversation IS NOT acceptable.
Anyway, @OP:
I think the best option is to back up all your apps using Titanium Backup, reinstall the ROM with DOE option, and then reinstall TB and your apps.
No, using Link2SD will not help you. It doesn't work like that. Sorry.

go to market and dowload link2SD to link or move app to SD ext or
