[Q] App2SD+ question

Hey,
Yh, I know: another app2sd+ question...
Tried using the search button, but did not find what I was searching for
I'm using the TyphooN CyanogenMod7 RC2 v2.5.5 ROM on my HD2 and was running low on internal memomy and used to send apps to my sd card, but some wouldn't not work and my internal memomery was low on memory.
So I decided to partition my 8GB scandisk sd card:
6.7 gb FAT32 en 800mb ext2
After I did that, I used a clean instal of TyphooN CyanogenMod ROM and everyhting works .
When I go to applications and then applications managing, I see that my internal memory is just 244 mb and my external memory 6.5 gb.
But what I don't understand :
Who do I move downloaded applications from my phone to the ext2 partition on my sd card instead on the fat32 partition ?
Does this (moving to ext2 partition) happen automatically when I download apps and move them to the SD card ?

The ext partition is considered internal, so if you manually move an app to the SD card, it will go from the ext partition to the fat partition and many wont work. When you have an ext partition you don't need to do anything. The rom will use the ext itself.
When you look at internal memory size it wont show the ext space, only the actual internal space. Say you instal a ten Meg app, that figure goes down ten even though its installed to ext, but it will go back up ten next reboot.

Thank you very much !
That was very clear, didn't find this somewhere else

a2sd and kyrillos 3.3

I have an ext2 partition on my sd card and it is mounted under /data/sdext2 ,i have Kyrillos 3.3 rom but i dont know if a2sd works(free memory is low).
How can i confirm that,and use it?

I think it doesnt work in ext2 partitions! Make an ext4. You can see if it works with titanium backup on the first page, below it has the sdcard, internal and sdcard (a2sd)

it shows me
internal 201mb (60 free)
ds card 7gb (6.1free)
sdcard(a2sd) 219mb (17.7 free)
ext sd card7gb (6.1 free)
so probably it does not work with ext2.

First you must have a2sdfroyo it is availaibal in the market. It works on rooted phones only . Chek the case of external . With kyrillos i think you must have also ext4 partition in your sd card . It works with me very well
install some applications then go to titanium backup and move app to internal
make so after that

Internal storage full despite of big ext4 partition
Hello, I have a similar problem. I'm now running Kyrillos 4.0 and have a 1GB ext4 partition on the SD card.
In Titanium backup I can see that some apps were installed to the A2SD partition, but there is still plenty of space left on it.
Now my phone run out of internal storage and I can't install any more apps. Moving all apps to SD and back to internal with Titanium didn't help.
So how can I fill the A2SD partition and prevent apps from being installed to the internal storage?
Titanium backup says: Internal memory: 26.2 MB free; SD: 1,84 GB free; A2SD: 708 MB free.
Android system says: Warning, low space, Internal memory: 15,29 MB free !
Something is wrong and I don't understand...

where should the 2nd partition be mounted to work with a2sd automatically?

I have the exact same issue here. I've partitioned the sd with ext3 and now I have no internal memory left. I've got 280MB left on a2sd partition. Going into applications and moving what ever I can do SD doesn't change internal memory a single byte....

KYRILLOS, all the BEST for your EXAMs
As a new user I'm not allowed to post in the development forum (I would have preferred to do this just by a reply in your ROM forum)....
Thank's a lot!!!! Your WORK's making me love my phone.
Looking forward to more than "ohhhh, just mms app changed in 5.6?", which I've seen in the forum....
Go onn that way!!! And one more THANK YOU!

Hi,
I 'm not entirely sure of what you are trying to say,but if you are confused by the different amounts of memory you have, get Titanium Backup.
When you open this app,it will list the four different amounts of memory:
System ROM
Internal
SD card
SDcard (a2sd) ext

When using an ext partition, it's size doesn't show as part of the internal memory, but it's there.

but what is the difference between saving program on (sd card) or (sd card (as2d)) ... in rafdroid nand the internal memory grow up to 1150 mo ...

Hi,
DEVS setup their ROMS differently(squashed,unsquashed,odex,de-odex,etc.)
Each has different system sizes.
This will give different amounts of remaining memory.
Again,you can use Titanium Backup to move some apps from internal memory to ext on sd card.

app2sd

I installed Kyrillos Rom v1.0 and partioned my formatted SD Card in CWM with 1024m for ext3 and 256 for swap. But booted into the OS and there's no extra RAM and it shows no extra storage.
And if I then install an application it still takes up phone memory, and using app2sd to move it to SD Card still puts it on my main SD Partition.
The only thing that changed is now when I remove the SD Card the phone crashes.

Install titanium backup and look for sdcard(app2sd), you will see the extra space..
Kyrillos uses app2sd v2 which doesn't totaly transfer all data to sd ext, a part of internal memory will always be used.. don't worry it wont get full till you indtal ~150 apps

To get apps on the ext3 partition, do I have to use the app2sd app and move apps to SD? Or do I just download like normal and they get put on that partition?

in fact, it hided,you can use R.E. explore or TIback to show swap and app2sd area.

Okay this is strange. Titanium backup is showing an app2sd partition even when I take out my sd card ...

Ext3 partition

Hi team,
Just wanted to know why should we create Ext3 partition? Will this solve the low memory problem in Blade?
What would be the recommended partition size and how to partition it? Do forgive me if this is a repeat question please point me to right thread.

Creating ext partition on memory card will move the apps from phone memory to ext partition on memory card thereby freeing up phone memory. So it solves low memory problems due to insufficient storage.
Use clockworkmod recovery to partition memory card. Depending on ur sdcard size and ur needs the ext an be 256 or 512MB with 0MB swap. After partitioning, flash the darktremor apps2sd script from custom recovery to use the sdcard for applications.

I have CM7 running. When I partition it, what happens with the backup and the data on the SD card?

All data on Sdcard will be deleted.
