So, I recently received my replacement and immediately got it rooted. Since I have tons of apps, I rely on transfering some apps to my SD to get me by. I read that EXT3 would be more appropriate for Myn's 2.2, so I formatted my SD EXT with 0MB swap size and 2GB space with the EXT3 format. Everything seems to have worked fine. I use 'App 2 SD Pro' to notify me of apps that are capable of transferring over and it still shows that I have 22.7GB available on my SD Card. Shouldn't it limit it to the 2GB I dedicated?
There are different kinds of apps2sd. There's the old way, where you format part of your SD card to ext2/3/4 and you have symlinks from your /data/apps directory to that partition. Then there's the new way, where Google let's you put your apps on the FAT32 partition (normal) of your SD card in the .android_secure folder.
If you're doing it with Android's built-in apps2sd functionality, then you don't need to partition your card for ext2/3/4 to put your apps on your SD card.
I run a 500mb ext4 partition, I am using dark tremors a2sd. I use a2sd from the market and it also tells me how much free space is left on the whole SD instead of how much free space is left on the ext partition.
Here's what mine looks like.

In your first pic, you have a2sd+, 384 of 457 available... That's your ext partition, no???

Correct. That's the ext partition.
its just the space on the extened partion of the memory.
What's the difference between using Dark Tremor's and Google's built-in? I'm on Myn's 2.2 btw.
Also, how do I get the remaining A2SD+ ext space I have? Can't find it anywhere.

Well, ok... that clarifies things a bit. However, I seem to not even know which version I am currently using. I am running Myn's 2.2 RLS 5 atm which I think might just use Froyo's method. For example, App 2 SD Pro guides me to the Manage Application screen for that specific app to move to/from SD. Does this mean I am using Froyo's method? If I am, then I don't need any EXT on my SD card right? If so, how do I remove it in Amon RA's recovery and will I need to wipe my ROM and start from scratch?

I am not familiar with Myn's roms, but a quick look at the main thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793471), seven bullets down from "Some of the features in RLS 5 (01-07-2011) include:", it clearly says, "Updated Darktremor Apps2SD (2.7.5.2)".
Then, in post #3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8341836&postcount=3), in the FAQ section, there's a link to more info on the apps2sd function.
Personally, I think the write up in the DT thread is more than sufficient at explaining what it is, and how to set it up. What you are probably missing is that by having DT installed, your apps are automatically installed to the ext partition, transparent to the system. If, you now use the move2sd function in settings/applications, you are in essence, moving them from the ext3 partition (on the sd card) to the main partition (also on the sd card). I see little benefit to do this. Either use one method or the other.
This brings up the point, that with the DT method, even apps that traditionally can not reside on the SD card can do so (usually) without issue. I forget the criteria for being able to be moved, but suspect it has something to do with the fact that the main /sdcard partition can be unmounted from the system's view when connected via usb. DT's method secures the ext partition from such actions.

Wow, thanks! I customized my a2sd settings as instructured in post #3. However, I still cannot verify that my apps are placed on the EXT partition or in the main partition of the SD card. Any way to do this?

i rooted and went to modaco. also in the recovery mode i put create fat32 ext2 and swap particion. but i dont think my apps are on my sd card. i download app2sd and used it and it doesnt confirm that it did anything. i check im internal memory on phone and it is always 144mb or 145mb even after insalling around 20 apps. but when i unmount my sd card all apps still work.
If you're on Modaco and you created the partition, it works. Don't worry about it. It's automated and you don't have to download Apps2sd from the market because it's already included in the rom. If it's ALWAYS at 145 after installing 20 apps, that means it isn't taking away from the internal memory and it's working...And you'd have to reboot after removing the sd card for it to change. I don't think it's a good idea though.
ok they are on my sd card, i removed card and it locked up. will never do that again. had to pull battery and then it wouldnt get past sprint screen. had to hold end call and answer call and reset device. then it lost all my apps. had to re download and set up all my shortcuts. uggg
what about games. seems like they are installed on phone is this correct

Apps installed to the SD card reside in /system/sd/app and /system/sd/app-private. You may browse those directories to see which applications have been migrated. As ajones7279 said, you don't need to download AppsToSD if you are using the Modaco rom.
If you would like to move an application from the sd card back to internal memory, the steps to do so are in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512743.
can someone tell me why my apps do not install to the sd card at all?
after I rooted I partitioned my sd, then flashed and now it doesn't install to the sd card?
wait I think it is working, I installed acouple apps then quickly check my internal memory it goes down, then I went in and did a look for cmd
cd /system/sd/app
ls
I it showed all the apps I installed, after that I checked my internal memory it went back up so that is normal?
nevermind it doesn't work, internalmemory keeps going down wtf

Mine show there as well, but under setting > sd card and phone storage and check the available space under internal phone storage, it just keeps dropping. I am down to 117mb. all the way from around 140 before I installed any apps. I dont think that the apps2sd integration is working properly.

Just because the apps are installed to the SD card doesn't mean they don't store things on the phone.. cache is stored on the phones, theres a /data/data folder on the phone that the apps populate as well, it just doesn't take AS MUCH space on your phone as a non appstosd
also to make sure your apps are working go into your adb shell, type in
Code:
cd /data/app
pwd
cd /data/app-private
pwd
What this will do is go to your /data/app folder and because with appstosd that is a symbolic link to /system/sd/app the PWD (present working directory) will display /system/sd/app, if PWD shows /data/app you are not running appstosd

Just tested this and I am not running apps2sd I probably need to try to format my SD card again, I made did the dual partition from the recovery menu, but this was after I flashed MoDaCo's ROM...that's probably why!
Should I partition, then reflash the ROM?

Yes, backup the contents of your sdcard to your computer first!
When trying to dual boot WP & Android the WP partition must always be bigger than the Android partition or more than 1/2 the size of the SD card otherwise it wont work - I still don't know why :silly:
Anyways here's how you can have a smaller partition for WP & having the big chunk of space for Andy.
Here's what we need
2 SD cards, I used 4g(SOURCE) & 16g(TARGET) Cards
2 SD card readers
MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition (MTPW)
Initially you setup WP using the smaller Card
if you are not yet familiar in setting WP try the link Below
My 3rd Root & guide for the ultra-noob [WP7/ Android]
Once you've setup WP, we have to adjust the WP partition to the desired space we want.
Follow the link below for partitioning adjustment/ resize
Triple Boot WP7+SD+NativeSD EXT4 @ 1 SD with pictures
• Actually if you used a 4gig SD Card in your initial setup it will create a 3gig partition & I think that's OK already since what we will copy/ image is the partition of WP only & no need to do the process above Unless you want it to be more smaller •
After making sure WP7 is running plug Both SD card in the PC & run MTPW
NOTE: Target SD will be erased!
it would look something like this
You can right click the TAGRGET & delete any partitions it had

}
Click on the SOURCE - in my case the red (other) 2.50GB partition & choose "COPY PARTITION"
something like below will show
Now move that partition to the RIGHT most side of the partition location (target)
DO NOT RESIZE THAT RED 2.5GB PARTITION
after you hit ok/ enter it will look like this
the WP7 partition will be copied to the target SD
click APPLY & wait for about an hour or so depending on the WP7 partition size
Notice that we have 12.33GB of Unallocated space for our FAT32 & EXT4 partition
Before We continue to the Next step, place the 16gb (TARGET) in the phone to confirm that WP is working with the new card.
Now we partition the 12.33GB of Unallocated space for our FAT32 & EXT4 partition.
The below was my setting
NOTE: Don't forget to modify WP partition to PRIMARY - right click > Modify
& there we have it
4g EXT4 - 8g FAT32 - 2g WP Partition
Hope this helps & Hit thanks if it did.
It would definitely be a really nice guide, but...

That's wrong. I've never had problems. Used Xboxmod's CAB on HD2O ROM to create 10GB FAT32 partition and leave ~4ish GBs for WP, then remove 1GB from FAT partition and create EXT4 from newly created free space.
Everything works perfectly. I even added SWAP not so long ago.
^
thanks for your update, then.
maybe you could share to the community on how it is done?
It's really simple and anyone who has ever seen a partition manager and knows how to press buttons.
Just get WP7 CAB Sender and appropriate CAB for partitioning (ie. EXTRAPART_10G for 10GB FAT partition) from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1250869
Then send it through, hard-reset WP7, take out the SD card, resize FAT partition, create EXT partition in the free space (it must be after FAT, else won't work). Install ROM of your choice. That is all.
Hey!
I need your help =( Now i have a Wildfire S, but my contract is up so I'm trying to decide what to buy. The options I ve been given are
Samsung Galaxy mini 2
LG Opt L3
Huawei G300.
I dont know anyone who has any of them so Im lost and dunno what is best for me .
Can anyone help me?
Thank you!
PS: Sorry for my english, its not my language and I dont speak it very well.
My girlfriend has the L3.
I would NOT recommend it. The "1 GB" of internal storage is false advertising. You ONLY get 157 MB of "system storage" for installing applications, the rest is for photos, etc. What are we, back in the year 2007? Dumbest smartphone ever.

I would also NOT recommend it, but for another reason - the low quality display. Low-end Samsung devices with same 320x240 screen give much better image.
Regarding storage for application - not a big issue as it is easy to use link2sd to move apps (link app with caches) to 2nd partition in sd-card.

You can move them without link2sd with the native Android "move to SD" option in app manager to the "internal storage SD," but some data is still present in the system memory and thus you'll run out of system storage to install applications soon anyway. The same with link2sd.

You are right that Link2SD can do the same as "move to SD" - move the app to SD, leaving lib file and dalvik cache in main memory.
But link2sd can do something more - move all app, lib and dalvik cache to SD and leave only links (tiny size) in main memory. In link2sd it is called "create links" action and you can choose which or all of those 3 elements are linked. As the result the app itself occupies nearly zero space in main memory.

Hmm, looks like link2sd is no better than the native Android "move to SD" when you have no external microSD card, moving only some data to the "internal sdcard" and leaving other data in the system storage, but if you do have an external microSD card, then it moves all data to the sdcard and works better. Interesting.
I tried without an external microSD card and the results weren't any better than the native "move to SD," so I didn't think having an external microSD card would be any better, but I guess I was wrong.
Should I partition the microSD as ext2 and fat32 or ext3 and fat32 (or even ext4 and fat32)? I've also seen some suggest to make three partitions:
1. fat (10 MB) - partition is lost
2. ext2 (link2sd)
3. fat32 (storage)
Why is that and which one should I choose?
Also, is the "grainy" screen (wallpapers look pixelated) due to the L3's low quality screen, or is this due to the CM9 "blurry screen bug"? I guess it's the former, but want to check anyway...
Edit:
Used CWM recovery to partition it as ext2. Works great. I take back what I said:

I flashed my HD2 with MIUI 2.3.7 some time ago, but now I'm constantly getting low internal storage errors. One thing I didn't do when I flashed this ROM was repartition the SD card (and I think this ROM has A2SD built in?). So I know that might probably help getting rid of the errors.
But when I checked the phone's internal memory, I saw "200 MB used - 18 MB free". So that's a total of 218MB internal memory? I'm pretty sure I'm missing at least 200Mb there.
I have another HD2 here (running AmeriCanAndroid from SD) so I checked its internal memory under "About Phone". On the HD2 with ACA, it says it has a total of 411MB internal memory. On the HD2 with MIUI, it says it has a total internal memory of 217MB. So where's the missing 194MB?
I read somewhere that the phone probably has a wrong "ClockworkMod Recovery partition layout" and that for MIUI, it needs a "150MB Partition Layout". The article didn't actually explain what those things are or how to set it up.
So, is that indeed what's going on here (any way to check)? And if so, how can I change my phone to this "150MB Partition Layout?"
Thanks in advance.
Like I said, it was quite a while ago when I flashed this ROM so I can't remember what I did when I did. But looking at my HD2 folder on my PC, I probably *did* use a 150MB ClockWorkMod recovery partition size. Also, I *did* create a 1GB ext partition on my SD Card for A2SD.
So why am I getting the "low internal storage" errors?
Many possibilities, could be the ext partition not being recognized, not in proper format...
The script may not be working (?). And you're never going to get the whole 512MB of your ROM. I think it's maximum 400, give or take. so about 400 - 150 you're left with about 250 .. I don't know where that 50 went (maybe it is not actually 400? or maybe you set a slightly larger partition).
I also never believed in a2sd, always datatoext. Your best bet is to back up your apps using titanium (or similar apps), check the partitions, and reflash ROM + a different script; that is because you can't flash a script while having been used the rom. (or you can try your luck).
dat english.
I second that, app2sd is not reliable to get more memory available.
Lack of internal storage is due to a incorrect system partition. It has nothing to do with your ext4 partition, since you're not running NativeSD.
DataOnEXT is your best option. Backup your app data and flash a ROM from start with DataOnExt option.
Be sure to make your system size large enough.
Create an ext4 partition on your sd of 1 to 2 GB for app storage.

You should use Cronmod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716124 INT2EXT+ is recommended
Flash your rom on nand (without dataonext) then flash Cronmod(you must have ext4 partition, 1gb is good)

Yes, it is. But the script you're using is useless. Use DataOnExt instead.
WARNING: You need to do a fresh install, so make a backup beforehand.
I tried DataOnExt and I can't get it to work. It keeps giving me force close errors on almost every app/widget and when I reboot my phone, all my widgets loose their settings.

Try a different ROM, and increase your /system size to 285MB or 300-350MB if you have badblocks.

You can't dirty flash it, you need a fresh install. If you do a dirty one, everything will force close.
Have you considered using NativeSD?

I second this, NativeSD can be great.
The only few cons I know of, is that NAND is a tad bit more responsive (even with highclass SD cards), battery life is shorter than if you only were to use NAND and your SD card will wear out quicker.
Other than that, it's basically superious to NAND.
Sorry, i searched it in xda and google but i couldn't find. What is dataonext? How can i do this?

DataonExt is basically using a partition of your sd-card( called the ext partition) to store stuff. This ext partition acts as your phone's internal memory, so when we run into low internal memory situation, after installing apps etc, dataonext usually saves the day.
You need 2 things to use this feature
A. An ext partition on your sd card
B. A script that mounts that ext partition as internal memory
A )
This can be done my using the minitool partition wizard or the CWM recovery.
In CWM menu, go to advanced>partition sd card. Select the partition size you want, keep swap to 0. Most GB roms dont need swap. And thats it, the ext partition is created
WARNING!!
Along with creating an ext partition, YOUR SD CARD WILL BE WIPED. MAKE BACKUPS
B) You need an A2SD script, Most A2SD roms already have this script so when u install the rom, after partitioning, the ext partition is automatically mounted. If you want another script, check my signature

This was the first thing that came up on google.
So you mean to tell me you have searched google AND xda and you couldn't find an answer? Seems legit.
You're lucky for having people like adil answering your question first.

Thanks for reply. is it ext3 or ext4 for hd2? and i will mount it "/data" or "/" or no mount? and what about cluster size? And i will use jb rom so i need swap? Thanks.

It did not say "NativeSD", it said "Native". He is using "Native" here as an English word, not a method of booting android.
In fact, if you had clicked on that and gone further you'd have realized what I mean.
Tip: Next time when you search something, you need to go INTO the things you find, not just read their titles.
And btw, it should be ext4 and don't worry about the cluster size, default is fine.

To basically just use the ext partition as internal memory, any ext type can be used. The CWM makes a ext3. You need the ext4 partition for NativeSD roms. Thats a WHOLE different thing. And when u use a default rom with A2SD support, you dont need to mount anything, anything that needs to be mounted, IS mounted.
For swap, check the rom thread, it should be there.
