[Q] Move apps to SD with floyo - XPERIA X8 General

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

Thanks a lot, i will give it a try, keep my fingers crossed it will work

how do I install it with xRecovery? Just the way i installed 2.2 and 2.3? With the "Restore?"

install it with "install update.zip from sd card" option

Which rom are you using? I did this with v0.12 and worked fine. Try fix permissions in advanced options.

Hey,
I changed it to the newest Gingerbread 2.3.2

Im using 2.2.1 CM HACKDROID v0.12. Havnt tested gingerbread rom yet

Try to fix permissions on xrecovery..

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.

Thats happen when you dont format and make partition sd card.
Your apps are probably on sd card but phone cant read it bacause isnt ext2 or ext3 format

Same problem, try to move to sd card, Moving Error, tried with 2 partitions on Floyo, tried in Gingerbread and...Nothing..
try Link2SD
download from android market, u must created second partitions with Fat32 format in Sd card, and need standart ROM 2.1 rooted
just run apps, reboot.. but u must move apps manually by open Link2SD >click >created link
I found app2sd didn't work for me. So I used link2sd in stead. Had to create a partition on SD card first there is a thread that I used to do it. I now have 400mb on the SD card just for apps.
But you need to have full root to do it.

It did'n work for me, too.
But I tried, and figured out how to install it.
First, you need to partition your SD-card. Second, do the method, that they wrote, but when you open the adb shell, first write "su", and accept it on your phone. Then you can begin to run the script. This way, I could install it.
I've tried several times before, without the "su" command in the beginning, it doesn't work without it. Now, I'm happy, because it's working and I have some free space on my device
if ext2 doesn't work, try use ext3 partition for apps2sd
vice versa
Just give it a try again.

Guys be sure you have 2.1.1.A.0.6, otherwise it won't work cous of kernel dependencies.

okay first tell us what ROM are you using, what app2sd type that u try to use (native or with ext partition), and what steps have you took?
ps: if u're using racht's 2.2.1 ROM (that i think you do), app2sd with ext partition works perfect. just use app2sd.sh with moved dalvik-cache that someone posted in development section.
For me a clean installation and following the given steps carefully works. Floyo 0.15 has native app2sd and it works for sure
I use Link2SD. It is a pain in the a$$ when you update or move to SDcard but it works.
Steps to get it work: (For Windows and Noobs users only)
1. Download the Link2SD app from store
2. Download and install this program (it will make the partitions of your card) from here (it's free)
3. Connect your phone as a USB (mount your card)
4. Follow this video (it's not mine), but do not leave space for a "Linux Swap" partition (unless you want it)
5. Reboot your phone.
Tested and it works!
P.S.: I think that even if i had an EXT3 partition the Link2SD worked when i ckecked the EXT2 partition (in it's set up). Can someone confirm that?

[script][old][already build inCFROOT]Gingerbread Darktremor a2sd for sgace

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

this is the easiest way.. just go to this>> CFROOT

Will this work with VillainROM?
and is this just a script or the entire Rom(modified for apps2SD) itself?
It did not work for me!

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.

Sadly it doesn't work on Gingerbread. It's a pity, this app is a must to whom owns an ACE.

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

[Q] A2SD+ not working

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.

[Q] Second Partion issue!

i was having a partion on my sd card to store apps (using amarullz script)
in order to flash cm7.2, i flashed stock rom as it was recommended by OP
then flashed cm7.2 totoro
In Cm7.2,i again tried to increase my internal memory through that extra partion i already had on my sd card
ok here goes the problem
when i did the steps to increase my memory ... its not working ...everything goes well during installation (no force closes too) but after completion nothing happened
