Since I have to sell out x10 of my wife, I would like to erase all the data (include the app data) in the phone.
I tried to use the "Factory Data Reset" in the phone setting. However, the data for the apps was still here.
Please advise how i can erase them thoroughly in the phone.
Thanks.
what about a reflash from SEUS? have you tried that?
yup a factory reset does not reset SD card content and apps. As recommended earlier, best bet would be to just use SEUS to reflash current firmware and that should sort you out.

The factory reset will wipe the phone to it's original condition, but won't delete anything of the SD, you have to do that yourself.
Factory rest as stated and format the sd card. That should delete the texts from your mistress
Joke.

Formatting the SD card does not remove applications as most applications are installed on internal memory so that wont work.

Yeah...... but factory reset would.....
Format SD first using the menu to wipe SD card memory
Then factory reset phone. Thus wiping all memory.

Good evening!
I'm an owner of the x8, I've already installed Root, BusyBox, App2Sd, recovery!
I'm going to try the installation of JiT, but before this i'd like to make a backup (because at the moment everything's OK) and I know that I could make my phone a sort of nothing!
Could you explain me how to backup/restore via xrecovery?
And could you link me the Jit for x8 Guide?
Many Thanks in advance!
In xRecovery.. boot into flashmode, go to backup/restore and make new.
Simply
Many Thanksss : I've not tried it yet but if I've understood well:
1. Open xRecovery (trough BACK button)
2. Backup&Recovery
3. New
Isn't it?
1. Open xRecovery via back button
2. Scroll down to Backup & Restore
3. Click Backup and wait for xRecovery to do his work.
just use xRecovery,you don't have to be afraid if you have it...

Is the easiest program to use backup, original Backup & Restore is crap.
How much storage is nedded? I have only 80 mb on sdcard :S thanks for your replies

On my phone the backup was ~240 Mb. So, you'll need more, otherwise backup will be a mess. Been there, done that.

If you made a backup with a xRecovery just restore it the same way you backed up. If you don't have backup you can try disabling JiT and/or flashing your x8.

Hello
I think that's why Link2SD is better thant App2SD,
you can choose, create & delete which App on SD you want,
and cache are still on internal

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?
Hey guys how do you move ALL apps and data to your sd card so when I flash roms (theres a new update everyday it gets too hard) I dont lose my progress in apps and I dont have to reinstall they are already there, is it possible to do this?
Also can you set sd card as default so new apps you install automatically go there.
It would be nice if I could partition just like 1 gb of my SD card just for apps!
Ive searched a few threads and stuff trying to gather information but none of them really helped alot so sorry if this has been answered!
What ROM are you running?

RCmix3D at the moment, thinking about flashing Honey sense hd for a while!
I just want to make a partition of about 700mb onto the SD and move ALL my apps to it so I dont lose my progress and I dont have to worry about them when I flash roms!
thanks in advance!
Hello,
I'm unsure of any batch command to send all existing apps to SD so you may have to go to Settings> Applications> Manage Apps and move each one individually.
To change default app install location, use the following command either through ADB or in a terminal emulator:
pm setInstallLocation 2 //for SD card
pm setInstallLocation 0 //for phone internal memory
You'll find after setting the install location to SD, you'll notice that more apps can be moved to the SD card manually instead of just being greyed-out. However, be careful though - personally, I wouldn't move the following to SD since they've affected performance:
- apps which use a widget on your home screen (music players, aggregators)
- apps which explicitly interact with the system (e.g. task managers, autokiller, autostarts)
- Google apps
Hope this helps.
Backup all user apps in batch mode using titanium backup pro. Saves to sdcard backup folder.
Or
Partition sdcard to ext3 or 4, 0 swap, and use a a2sd+ patch (if your ROM supports it). Backup data on the fat32 partition first, as it may get wiped when the partition is split to make the ext partition. All user apps and associated dalvik will be moved to the ext partition on boot. Just make sure the ext partition is not wiped / formatted prior to flashing ROM. Use pc software such as gparted or mini partition tool free. Been a few phones bricked using the wrong cwm version to partition.
But, if were me, just use Titanium Backup Pro.

Gparted wouldnt find my phone when plugged in when I tried.
Also when you just move to SD through settings>application, it doesnt move the whole app only half and when you install a new rom they arnt there
Gparted is Linux, mini partition tool for Windows.
A2sd+ moves apps to ext partition, not fat32 partition your referring to. A2sd or apps to SD move only to fat32 partition.
There's the difference between a2sd+ & a2sd.

So to move the apps COMPLETELY on to the SD so they are there when you install a new rom and stuff, I partition my sd card in Ext 3/4 and then use a2sd+ to move them over right?
I'm on LeeDrOiD, and don't bother with the patch anymore.
But the method I used was, setup ext partition, flash ROM followed immediately by the a2sd+ patch for 1gb ext, then reboot. First boot will take a while.
Is useful if you stick to the same ROM, ...... as long as you don't wipe the ext partition before each update / build flash, or the ROM doesn't have a inbuilt script that wipes the ext. If that happened, you'd lose the apps and their dalvik cache, although the dalvik should be wiped anyway.
Edit: important, Forgot to mention, move all apps to "internal" memory prior. A2sd+ will take care of it on boot / flash and move all to ext. Any other app DL, just move to internal, and it'll be moved auto next boot.

I got the partition set up and I installed the patch and the reboot took ages but how do I know if there on SD, I dont think they are because when I click on the app some still say move to sd?

Open titanium backup, the first page that opens "overview", look down the bottom, will say something like;
Rom
Internal
Sdcard
A2sd+
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
ok it says sd card (A2sd) 575mb 60.4 free, so I think that means the apps are on there, so if I wipe my phone the apps will stay right?
It will always say move to SD if installed in any other place. But the SD it refers to is the fat32 partition, not your ext. A2sd+ will take care of it and move all new apps to ext on boot, as long as you install to internal memory first.
After some market updates of apps installed to ext , you may have to move to internal and reboot to ensure they're on the ext

Maybe a slightly bigger partition would have been better.
The apps should stay, as long as the ext is not wiped / formatted.
If apps not recognised in market, clear market cache, boot cwm, clear dalvik, boot, use titanium backup pro to restore market link if needed.

I did the biggest one possible in Rom manager
Alright thanks for all your help mate!
Maybe your version, I have not done it since 1gb using cwm 2.5.1.3. But some newer versions had bricked phones. ROM manager is just an interface for cwm, so that's why its best to do it through pc. Should recognise the card through a sdcard adaptor

You cant simply format to unpartition the sdcard. Use any partition tool to unpartition first. Then format the whole sd card.
