Can anyone explain to me how i would setup apps2sd as i have no idea how i would set it up.
i think this way will be a "fail safe" way to do it. but it will/could take an extra install of a ROM.
Back up whole SD-card to example a PC.
install ẂildPuzzleROM
Start Rom Manager and choose partition SD-card and something similar.
Choose size of the ext-partition for example 512mb and you DONT need a swap.
You should now have an ext-partition and the phone should reboot automatic.
Now you can choose to upload all files you wanna flash to a folder on sd-card and reinstall rom and flash apps2sd files.
Hope this helps.
Regards Daniel
ps. their are many ways to make a partition on a sd-card, but this way should work for all users on what ever system and hardware they have.
how do i move existing apps to sd?
Same problem , I have the EXT partition, I have puzzle rom with the corrects zip installed.
But how can i move app to SD.....

If you have an ext partition on your SD, then you should have flashed the apps2sd package, you had rebooted your phone and it TOOK SO MUCH TIME, well apps2sd did move every apps to SD at this moment, apps2sd doesn't allow to choose between phone's and SD memory, that's the way froyo handle this feature.

Nandroid backup => format SD card with an ext partition (rom manager) => do a full wipe => flash v6 + apps2sd + move dalvik cache, reboot and wait a long moment before the lockscreen shows up. Voila ! Stable v6 with apps2sd !

And what does it do with new installed apps. Does it write it to SD or intern mem?
Hey,
Ive updated my SE x8 to floyo, after lots of hours trying, but finnaly it succed.
But when i go to Settings\Applications\Manage Apps\ and then choose a program and press "Move to SD-Card" it says: "The application could not be moved."
What could i do to solve this? I've tried with App2SD, aswell, but with no luck.
Did you created a ext2 partition on your sd card?

when i tried floyo 0.10, all my old apps in ext2 partition is working.
but it doesnt work in hackdroid 0.12
it has another kind of app2sd script i quess. it use sd-ext folder in root, different from floyo.
I am running floyo 0.12, tried app2sd, link2sd, using ext2 and fat32 partition on my sd card, doesn't work, arghh.
Anyone know how to fix this? Link2sd was working when i was on official SE 2.1 firmware
I've been playing around with v0.12 and managed to get apps2sd working using an update.zip from the original thread (will try find link in a min). This also fixed the prob with some games not installing (angry birds).
P.S My sd card is stock 2gb one with just a fat/fat32 (have to check) partition.
I deleted the ext2 partition as the floyo apps2sd doesnt seem to use it
Couldnt search the thread, so I've attached the update.zip below.
Just install with xrecovery and apps2sd should work.
P.S fix permissions in xrecovery after update, just to be safe

Hows your sd card setup? Try with ext2 and without. Mine started working when I had the ext2 on the card, however the apps were installing to the fat partition so I deleted the ext2. Everything is working fine now.

Hmm I have tried it with ext2, ext3 and fat32, always the same error "Failed to move" Arghhh my phone doesn't like mw haha
Thanks To ysgace and all dev.
this is not my job, just made easy to share.
So it's taken a lot of reading from a number of different places but I figured out how to modify the boot.img in the Odin CODE tarball in order to flash with an edited init.rc. I realize that with this power I could have simply built a2sd into the boot.img but one step at a time. So for now, if you want a2sd for Gingerbread (S5830XXKPE) then files and instructions can be downloaded using

so do you have a2sd by Darktremor?
Whenever i try to create an ext2 partition in my sdcard, it is not being mount and i get a warning saying that the card should be formatted. if i give yes, it gets formatted as one single partition of FAT32.. Please help
I used MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition in windows for partitioning
for partitioning use gparted
Before upgraded to gingerbread ROM, it was 2.2.1 where there is a app name "link2sd" free from market, which it mount ext2 partition of sdcard and move per apps apk file to sdcard, of ext2 partition, this is more flexible then Darktremor.
Where with Darktremor, the external sdcard will never able to hot remove from phone and plug it back. Which make external sdcard pointless. remove sdcard card will kill / reboot the phone, given without sdcard, phone can not start up. Also slow performance issues.
Where link2sd allow you select large apk only link to external sdcard, when unplug sdcard the phone still works without reboot / halt.

Great job!
It is possible to do the same thing with 2.3.4 KPH?
I found so many noobs here in ace forum and so little developers and I want to help you. I come from optimus one forum and i like to help.
You need a custom recovery to create an ext partition and to make darktremor a2sd to worked. Amonra or clockworkmod recovery is the best. Then create an ext partition whether ext2, 3 or 4 then flash dta2sd from the darktremor a2sd thread here in xda(search it). The latest ver is 2753 beta 04.
Remember, without ext partition the dta2sd will not worked.
To check if your a2sd is working, download terminal emulator, press su then enter then type a2sd check.
Or download titanium backup agd check if it says a2sd space=???
Or the best way to check is by a2sdgui app, it is a official app from the dta2sd itself. If it says apps are on sd, then your a2sd worked. And if you guys still reducing memory even after moving apps to sd via a2sd gui app, its time to put the dalvik cache to your sdcard.
Fuh, thats a lot of writing on my phone. I love to help because i will buy galaxy gio soon.
Or maybe you guys should take a look at optimus one forum and learn how to make a custom kernel and rom there. Theres a very good thread on guiding how to build a custom rom and kerne. Im pretty surprise so many noobs here. Like i said i really like to help to improve this community

Hi,
Sorry if this question gets posted too many times but I am downloaded [12-Sep-201][MAG/cLK][CWM] NDT GINGER V16.0 [CM Nightly 2.3.5][Kernel: Tytung r12] which states A2SD+ is in list of features (and I think this is supposed to use my 1gb ext3 partition as internal memory) but I only have 153mb after installing a few small apps. I know my old rom gave me about 900mb free, and am lost as to how to fix this.
Any help would be great.
Many thanks.
But your SD card got a sd-ext partition?
Try to use "s2e" from the market to enable your sd-ext partition.
i've tried it on the desire of my girlfriend and it works... it is still working
Im having same problem over multiple roms using hyperdroid a2sd+ seems to work fime but tried the experia arc rom and another and both have no a2sd+ although chefs both say its supported
I have totally wiped phone and sd card re-partitioned and formated
i have a 1gb ext3 partition but using a2sdgui gives error saying a2sd script not found or ext partition not found when i do in fact have one ?
You guys could always try flashing A2SD to the ROM from CWM recovery. Just do a forum search for Darktremor A2SD
Use the 2nd to most recent version, the most recent has never worked for me
If you can't find it, let me know and I'll attach it in a post on this thread.
Edit: Got bored and came back and attached it. Just flash it via CWM
thanks very much m8 ill give it a whirl
forgot to mention, after you flash it, go into terminal emulator and enter: a2sd reinstall
it should say a bunch of stuff, then reboot. then it'll take a long time to boot up cause it's moving everything to your ext3 partition and creating symlinks
app2sd is working fine with me.. i have only one issue.. all those apps shifted to ext partition, are auto starting up and i cant disable them!!! i used most of apps that used to block startup apps. but those in ext partition keep showing up and slow down starting up of the device! any idea???

No, you don't have to delete it. The zip should automatically remove any previous scripts.
Hey,
So I wanted to give sense a chance, since I really like sense 3.5.
But I'm having problems finding a good rom, I tried it with energy but its slow and runs not smooth at all, even tho other people dont seem to have problems with it.
And Im also confused about all that SD-Partitioning, tried doing it like in the Guides but from all the partitioning my SD Card is only 900MB out of 2GB now and I cant seem to delete all the other partitions.
Regards
try RCMix3D Runny v5.0, i heard some good things about it.
as for sd card partitioning:
flash 4ext recovery (in attachment) with CWM, your phone should reboot into 4ext recovery.
in 4ext go to: Advanced -> Partition SD Card -> Remove all partitions and start from scratch.
Now it will prompt you for the desired sizes for all your partitions, but don't get confused if it asks twice for the ext size, the 1st time is for the 1st ext partition the 2nd for the 2nd partition.
Generally you wouldn't want/need a 2nd ext partition so choose 0 mb for that one.
ext-4 is the desired type for the ext partition.
hope i have been of help..
Thanks man!
Will try that out tomorrow.
But about that rom you posted, I read in the Rom specific Thread that it runs relatively slow, anyhow I'll try it.
So I installed it now, did a 1024M sd-ext partition and flashed 210M CWM with 5M cache using the HD2 Toolkit.
But after the clean install I only get 993 quadrant score and it is pretty laggy/slow
Is this normal with sense roms? oO
I don't find the rom to be slow at all.
I have yet to try v5. I'm still on 4.xx.
For me the rom is fast and I heard with Kernel v6 or Marc's kernel the rom goes great.
Was my post helpful?
If you want to try sense I would look at haldrics sense roms he has done a great job with both 2.1 and 3.5 also they are both smooth and fast.

That .zip didn't work out for some people. I would recommend using minitool partition wizard. It's free and works great (Windows)
If you are using linux, try gparted.
MccM MixTheme Runny+Ryhme V10
Hi, I'm running MccM MixTheme Runny+Ryhme V10 on SD card, I've got 2171 in Quadrant Standard. i have 16GB card with 8GB free.
The only problem with this is Wifi hotspot is not working, so I use "Barnacle"
Have any one try that? any better ROM than this?

In my opinion no. I'm on the TBD v3.1 Sensation XL themed ROM, it comes with Sense 3.5 and works really fine!

Do you have an opportunity to try it with another SD-Card? Maybe it's broken.

if you follow the link, you see the rom, but it's crab, only 1319 in quadrant???
why don't you try the one i have "MccM MixTheme Runny+Ryhme V10"
you can get around 2100 in the quadrant, but as i said the only problem is WIFI HOTSPOT is not working you have to use "barnacle" instead.
have any one try it? and let me know is there a fix for "wifi-hot spot"?
Sense to me, just feels too slow & clunky but the sense 2.1 feel faster to me
Can you share 2.1 ROM?
