[Q] imilka's RAM Desire HD v1.0 A2SD Problem??

Hi,
I've just installed the imilka's RAM Desire HD v1.0 [A2SD][K:rafpigna 1.7
The problem is now that i made an ext4 partition of 1024 mb but not all my apps are going to my ext4 sd partition.
It seems that after he installed the apps they by half and a half to get the NAND memory and a half to the ext4 partition
also takes after installing an app my internal memory.
This is the manual i followed for installing my rom and make my partition.
From what I read you missed the step about creating a ext3 or ext 4 partition on your sd.
Download gparted live cd and burn it to a cd.
With sd card detected in Windows put in cd and reboot from cd.
Select sd card from top right and check carefully that you have chosen the correct sd!
Delete all partitions and then create fat32 with 1024 mb of free space after.
Then create ext4 partition (both primary)
Click apply.
Reboot normal.
Format Fat32 partition in Windows with 64k clusters.
Copy install files to sd.
Plug in SD and boot phone into magldr, select usb flasher.
Run daf.exe from downloaded zip.
Upon reboot hold power button and select ad recovery.
Choose install zip from sd and navigate to stockhdram1.zip.

If i follow this check on the following link i get a2sd: not found
nickescobedo.com/15/how-to-verify-a2sd-is-working-properly-the-easy-way

which version of the hd2 are you using? eu or tmous?

I'm using the eu version...
also if i go to root explorer and then to the folder:
"/sd-ext/app"
I can see there are a .apk files saved.
If i go to the next path i see the same apk files saved.
/data/app
sd-ext/app-privat is empty btw
Is it possible that he installed the apk files on both partitions?
Mine system memoy increased also after installing root explorer

installing darktremor on Wildfire/CM6.1

I want to install darktremor A2SDExt on my wildfire and am trying to follow the instructions below
http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=158809660835039
I have downloaded the zip from the site but cannot find the partition sd card menu under clockwork recovery 2.5.01 as stated in the instructions. My menu layout is totally different. I have a partitions menu with options
mount /system
mount /data
unmount / cache
unmount /sdcard
mount /sd-ext
format boot
format system
format data
format cache
format sdcard
format sd-ext
mount USB storage
Could someone please walk me through the process of how I partition my sd card for use with darktremor.

Use ROM Manager.

Thanks for the info I used Rom manager and used the default options to partition my sd card which created two partitions I think called EXT and swap. I copied all my stuff back from my computer to SD card. Then I flashed darktremor.zip
I opened up terminal and typed the following
a2sd cachesd (move dalvik to sd card)
and got a whole load of messages saying permission denied. I have definitely got root so wtf? Any ideas where I'm going wrong. I am reading stuff about EXT 3 and EXT 4. I definitely didn't get the option to create anything like that. I don't think my partitions are right

Try typing su before that. It will require superuser access.

Thanks you're the man. It worked.

Wow I have 128 apps installed on my phone including 35 games and still have 102Mb free internal memory .

maybe you have used a rom without root permission. make sure that your rom supports app2sd. Secondly partition your sd card with the help of gparted livecd or you can use the AD recovery's build-in tools to partition your sd card. then flash a rom supporting app2sd. here cm7 recommded,the extra space will be recognized automatically. if you use miui rom, pls make sure that your partition format is ext3. after flashing miui, open terminal-1.su-2.a2sd reinstall-3.reboot automatically-4.open terminal again-5.su-6.a2sd zipalign-7.a2sd cachesd-8.reboot automatically-9.just install whatever you want.

"after flashing miui" - what do you recommand?

does it the miui rom you are using support app2sd ? and you haven't downloaded app2sd+ from market, if so id get a rom that supports app2sd, then id recommend downloading THIS to fully format your sd card, and would also recommend using THIS to partition your sd card Ext3/4 depending on rom...

if your rom is app2sd....
you must not have it set up correct make sure you take 1gb (1024) out of your sd card to use for app2sd, take a look at my screen shot at how many apps i have to what internal i have left with typhoon build...

This makes me believe that App2sd+ is working, how else is there only 22 mb free? What is the partition size you made?
Things you can do:
Clear Cache of apps
Clear the downloadfile-#.apk in /Cache/ (you need a root explorer to do this)
Backup apps, delete apps, restore apps.
Another thing to do is to start from scratch, reflash your rom, using a backup program to backup your apps. Completly clear caches, and wipe sd card.
DOING THIS WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE AND LOSE ALL SETTINGS
Rommanager is only available for cLK, make sure you have cLK, or phone will boot-loop.

Installin a larger ROM help plz... :o/

Im kinda new to this but i have been reading & trying for a few days before asking for help but i feel i am stuck now.
I have gone through the process & installed a small rom with clockworkmod using a 150mb partition & it went ok.
Now i want to install a larger rom eg. pyramid_HTC_WWE_1.35.401.1_v1.5_EU.zip (338mb) using clockworkmod & this is where i have the problem, i have followed the steps but when installing the rom it freezes just under halfway install.
Using bootloader I have now used Task29 for a clean install, then installed MAGLDR113, using MAGLDR i used option 5 (USB flasher) & installed the unzipped () to make a partition for the larger rom.
After reboot i went to magldr option 8.AD Recovery & loaded clockworkmod, advanced then partition SD card, chose EXT size=1024, swap size=0M then rebooty.
Now am i supposed to see 4 partitionson my SD card because i cant?
one page i read that i should now transfer my ROM.zip to my Sd card, & i also read on another page that i should go to "mounts & storage" & chose "format sd-ext" I have tried both ways!
With the rom.zip on my card, i chose the "install zip from sdcard" option etc, it installs to just under half way then just stays there for ages, how long should this take for a 338mb zip file?
So i giveup, battery out & try it with a smaller zip (hyperdroid-cm7) 69mb zip & it installs ok, so where am i goin wrong??
Q1, after partitioning the SD card am i supposed to see 4 partitions on the card? because i dont, maybe i should partition it on my pc, do i just divide it into 4 partitions & name then ext, ext1, ext2, ext3? or is there a guide for doin it on ur pc?
Q2.can anyone see where else i might be going wrong?
I feel i am just doin the same thing over & over so thanks for any help you can give.
Something strange i have noticed that if i use the HD2 toolkit to try & create a 400mb partition i get an error sayin something about not enough space, i have to use a seperate Recovery_400M.zip that i downloaded from the NFEUMAN pages?

first of all your sd card patition is right. you must have 2 partitions, fat 32 and sd-ext. now in hd2 nand tool kit choose mgldr partition size as 'custom' then cache size 5MB then click repartition in usb flasher mode then write 190 in the opening window not 400. that's all.

I have managed to get the rom to bootup now after waiting for ages, but when booted it says the memory is low so im guessing its not using the SD card, when i look at the SD card i do not see any partitions so the partitioning tool in clockworkmod hasnt worked, is there a better way to partition the SD card for use with the rom?

you can see the partition in your sd by root explorer apk. or you can dowload to your pc mini tool partition magic an you can manage your partitions. windows doesn't see it.

Theres no mention when partitioning your SD card that you wont be able to see the partitions, i think they should mention that in the tutorials.
I downloaded gparted to partition my SD card & when i loaded it i could see that it had in fact worked when i had done it before.
I installed Apps2SD+ to see if it would sort out the low memory problem but the phone wouldnt boot, i waited 20 mins but it just stayed at the strtup screen.
I am doin it over again now with the partition size you suggested so hopefully this will work, should this allow more space for apps with this partition size?

i used the rom you try to use a few days ago. you dont have to install apps2sd etc. the rom just do that. so wipe everything and flash the rom, you will not face any room problem. to free some ram,you can use built in task manager or a task killer.

Hey mutil i have reinstalled the rom & it seems to be working great, but how do i use apps2SD? when i install new apps will they automaticly be installed to the SD card now, or do i have to chose the options somehow? thx.

yes they will go directly to sd-ext. if some applications like angry birds give force close error then get titanium backup from market, find the app that gives errorin titanium, long press on the app then choose 'move to sd'.

mutil thx for that advise. i just wanna ask you, before you installed the rom, what size clockwork mod recovery partition did you use? I used 190 as suggested above, but now reading back through the thread i see you can use a 170mb partition. Is it would be worth me doing it again as a 170mb partition, would i get any benifit do you think?

It doesn't worth to make a new partition. There will not be a great difference. Good luck.

[Q] internal memory is full ...... help me

how to set external memory as default installation path &
how to install and play apps on external memory
im using galaxy y GT s5360
please give proper help ... step by step solution

Root your phone if not already rooted (search how to)
Flash a kernel that can support ext4 partitions (if on stock based rom Use hells fusion #50 kernel -search dev section for links & instructions) Copy all sd files to pc
go into cwm on phone goto advanced & partition sdcard Partition sdcard with min of 1024mb ext partition
Copy sd card files back to phone
Install link2sd (playstore)
Open link2sd mount 2nd partition as ext4 (other kernels may vary)
restart
open link2sd
select app & create link
For more details search for link2sd

Link2SD has some complicated steps and requires 2 partitions in SD card. If you don't want to do it and you have root go to play store, search Force2SD(root).
Please note that by moving app to sdcard, you can't use its widget.(if any)

To me, the most easily is move apps to sd card with Titanium Backup or similar.

You cant use an A2SD script. What it does it puts your internal memory to your newly formatted ext4 partiton on your sd card. But it's a little bit complicated, since you need to modify you boit.img, and it may not always work. The second option is to download "mounts to sd" from goigle play, but you need root and kernel with init.d support.

If you are on stock ROM & Kernel...first root your phone & then install 2 apps from play store:-

Then download CWM & reboot to recovery & then:-
1.Select Install zip from SD & select CWM...now CWM will open
2.Select advanced
3.Select Partition SD card
4.On ext size select 1024MB (it is the max recommended size)
5.On swap select 0 M
6.Now SD card will be partitioned & formatted
7.Reboot your phone
8.Open Link2SD & choose the second partition of your SD card as EXT3
9.Reboot your Phone
10.Now start linking all your apps to the SD card & free up internal memory & you will be able to installl many apps now
Here's a video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEtSyLwUTCw

1. root your phone
2. use link2sd(from playstore) to move apps to SD-card

internal memory full ?
well if ur internal memory is full , ransfer your apps to sd card via
1) link2sd
or the best is
2) TITANIUM BACKUP PRO

Take a backup of the apps that are installed on your phone. Search in google play for those apps which provide backup. Plug your phone to the computer and copy each and every file because you are going to format your SD card to increase the storage. If your device is not rooted, you have to then root it first. Search on XDA for rooting guides. Make sure you have ClockWorkMod recovery file is on SD card.Then after that follow the following steps:
1. Install Link2Sd app
2. Reboot your phone and goto recovery mode
3. Install ClockWorkMod
4. Clear Cache
5. Mount Everything that can be mounted
6. Goto Advanced > Partition SD Card
7. Choose below 1024MB as it causes some issues
8. Set Swap size to 0MB
9. After doing, reboot your phone.
10. Goto Link2sd and select recreate mount scripts and it will automatically reboot your phone.
Now you can get more internal storage. You can now restore your backup that you have made in computer back to the phone.
P.S. I am not responsible for any damage that occurs to your phone or SD card. I just provided a solution.
