I just wiped my phone and see all of my apps there because I installed them before to my sdcard.
But when I go to the Market, they are no longer in "my downloads." So... how do I know if an update comes out for them?
Thanks.
Do you use aTrackDog?
No. I don't know what That is...
I reccomed reinstalling all your apps as you may have an issue with running them properly. If you paid for an app you can download it again and they will show up in your "my downloads" atrackdog is a 3rd party program that will check for up dated versions of your apps by using a p2p like protocal. It works for apps that you have that are not on the market like wireless tether and g-arcade.
But really reinstall all your apps. Use atrackdog. You can manage them from there.
Just wondering... Won't this happen every time I wipe then? The apps still show up in the "drawer" where all the apps usually are, just not in the marketplace. So... if this does happen everytime you wipe (the phone, ), then what's the whole point of apps2sd? Please clarify. Thank you.
The point is to free up the phones internal memory and keep it from lagging when the free memory gets below 20mb. Also a sdcard class 6 is slightly faster than the internal memory. Besides would you rather have 80 megs total to download programs or 500 megs?I wouldn't want to have to uninstall last.tm to play a game
I get that... but... if I wipe the phone, the apps will show up again once I put the new rom on it. However, there's no way to check if the apps have been updated by the developer since your downloads no longer show up in the market's "my downloads." So... Is there a way to fix that or a way around that..?
Currently there is no known workaround
Use atrackdog. Its available in the market. It won't auto notify you. Personally I run it every few days and it works great. If an update is available you can go directly to the programs market page and install the update.
Edit: you can always reinstall them
start all over i guess.. i do this all the time just to try a rom
format Fat32/Ext2 both it will format installed apps.. ur paid apps will be there regardless
wipe
flash the build
set-up app2sd before installing ur apps
then start serching all the apps u had
yea its alot of work but atleast i see my apps updates
I did this (but didn't start downloading apps yet) and for internal storage in settings>sdcard/storage, it shows internal storage free space is 840mb. Is that normal? Its just reading my ext3 partition as the internal storage,right? I did NOT set up apps2sd files or anything yet, but when I installed one app I looked at the free space again and it went down under "internal storage" instead of sd card. That would be normal EXCEPT for the fact that the internal storage free space is showing 800 something megabytes...
PLEASE HELP- Thanks!

Its a bug in the build. As long as you have a ext2-3 partition. Any Rom that is a2sd enabled should see it automagically.
You did nothing wrong. Install any app and look in your system/sd/app folder and see if it is there. If its a paid app? Check system/sd/app-private
Thanks man- I really appreciate it. So far out of a many responses over many threads, you're the only one to give a response.

I recommend using the app -BackUp For Root Users- before wiping and flashing a new rom. On the second page is an option to backup and restore your Market Database file. I assume you can probably back up the same file using Terminal but I'm no expert on it, nor do I know the location of the Android Manifest file. If you save this file and restore it after a fresh install it will restore your My Downloads section in the Market and thus show you when updates are available.
As for currently, you'll have to reinstall your apps from the market first.
Hello,
Sorry if this has been already asked but I couldn't find the answer using the search tool
I've just bought my HD2 today and tried the NAND method
Everything worked fine but whatever ROM I flash, I only have 7.25 Mb of internal storage available
I thought it wouldn't matter since I have a 32 Gb sd card and set the install location to it but I nevertheless get the "Not enough storage" message when trying to download an app from the market
Can you please tell me where I went wrong ?
Thanks
You likely have a EU HD2 512 and have installed a ROM for a US HD2 1024. Read the build threads before flashing.
Thanks for your reply
The link you provided is the guide I used : flashed 2.08.HSPL, then MAGDLR and finally updated the radio to 2.15.50.14
I then installed this ROM with CWM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951 . It's not mentionned whether it's for 512 or 1024
Did you mean I didn't use the right file while preparing the device or just the ROM ?
Thanks
OK, now I understand what you mean. There's a Desire HD Rom that says 47 mb left after first boot and that's exactly what I got after flashing it
I guess I'll just need a Gingerbread ROM that will leave enough space left after flashing on a Leo 512
If you have suggestions, because the 3 ones I tried so far left less than 10 mb after first boot =(
The one I would recommend would leave only 46 MB after install.

Hmmm, since you have the 512 version, I suggest making an ext 2/3/4 partition on your sd card to use app2sd+ or data2sd. so when you stall some apps, they go into the partition and not your internal storage. (the ext2/3/4 is a way to trick your phone into thinking that partition in your sd card is your internal storage)
Use the built-in advanced function in ClockworkMod Recovery to help create ext3 partition on your SD card. but you need to get ClockworkMod Recovery installed first…
Step by Step Guide
1. Backup your SD card data to PC before start partitioning.
2. Power on your phone and don’t let go power button.
3. DFT MAGLDR Bootloader will be loaded.
4. Press call button to load 1. Boot AD SD.
5. ClockworkMod Recovery will be loaded then.
6. Use volume down button to go down to ‘advanced’.
7. Then press call button.
8. Select ‘Partition SD Card’.
9. Select the ext size that you want (128M, 256M, 512M, 1024M, 2048M or 4096M).
10. Select 0M as the Swap Size.
11. Copy back your data to SD card.
12. That’s all.
CLICK ThankS
@rahan95
But the rom, you've mentioned - TyphooN CyanogenMod - is Gingerbread and should have left you much more than 100MB free on Int HD2 (I'm sure of it, because it's the one I'm using now myself and right now have 98MB free after installing few apps).
Check, if you've flashed with right settings for CWM - author of the ROM suggest 135M System/44M Cache.
Thanks for your replies
Coldest : I do have CWM instaleld since it's what I used to flash the roms. But it's on the Nand, not on the SD. Therefore, booting on AD SD doesn't work. Should I reinstall it but on the SD this time ?
Adecostres : I used this topic for installing CWM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898913
i flashed the 400MB thinking bigger was better but this may be wrong ?
Thanks again
With TyphooN's ROM, you should use this CWM (link from his thread): http://www.multiupload.com/5VH6M9XM8B
You will have 135M system / 44 Cache and more than 120M free space after flashing.
In this case bigger is NOT better - using bigger system part, you will have less space for apps
THanks a lot
I'll try that ASAP and will let you know !
It worked ! I have 229 Mb available after first boot =)
Thank you so much for your help !
Glad to hear
I've xcd35 also known as zte blade. I've not installed many applications, still I see only around 25MB free space in my phone memory
What can be the reason for this ?
Have you taken a lot of photos or videos possibly and are those not being saved on the SD card?
Yes, i did took many photos but they are on my sd card.
Still I don't know where did the space go.. can anyone help me in getting back my space ?
Maybe you should install some app such as file manager from market (I can't provide a link, search "file manager", it's the first result by rhythm software). Then go ahead and select "Storage analysis" after clicking menu. It'll do a complete scan of your phone+SD-card and then shows you the biggest space hoarders.
I installed file manager and it says following,
device total memory: 162.5 M
device free memory : 24.57M
sd total memory: 1.86M
sd free memory: 1.15M
Also, it gives the biggest space holders, but all those are in my sd (like one app tak 570+ MB and my documents take 33M, both are in my sd).
the list all space holders includes the folders in sd card only.. How do I see status of internal memory ?

The 162.5MB is the total internal memory available for your apps and their data. The 24.57MB is how much of that is free at the moment. When you move an app to the sdcard, some of it is left behind on the internal memory, so you can't get rid of all of it. You can increase the amount of internal memory available by creating an ext partition on your sdcard (though it looks like you only have a 2GB sdcard, so you wouldn't have much space left for music etc. on it) and then using something like darktremor a2sd to move your apps to the new ext partition. This works differently from the normal move to sdcard as it allows you to move the whole app so frees more space.
The other option is repartitioning the internal memory. This means you take some of the space from where the rom is installed, and add it to the data partition so you can make use of it. For this to work well you need to use/be using a custom rom as the stock ones wont fit in the reduced space.

This isn't really a long term solution. The dalvik cache is needed by the phone, so wiping it will only temporarily give you more space until the phone rebuilds it all once you use your apps again. The cache partition is separate from the data partition, so wiping that would make no difference to how much space you have available.

Which ROM you are working on? It seems like you have stock ROM as you are unaware of CWM. If you are using stock rom, you need to switch to any custom rom to flash darktremor a2sd so that you can partition you sd card and install applications on them. You can get complete tutorial on installing CWM and custom rom from cyanogenmod website. You can uninstall bloatwares if there any to free your phone memory.

I can change my sd card to 16 or 32 GB .
That is not a problem..
Now, can you please tell me how do I do external partitioning ?
or how do I do repartitioning of internal memory?

You need to root and install a custom rom to partition both internal as well as external memory efficiently. You can flash darktremor a2sd script that allows you to install apps on partitioned sd card to your rooted stock rom but it won't work (didn't work for me).
Almost all the custom rom come with darktremor a2sd pre-installed on it. So it is advised to switch to any custom rom. But beware, both rooting and installing custom rom will void your warranty. Once you install a custom rom, i'm sure you will love it.
You can find guide on partitioning internal memory on the following links
h**p://android.modaco.com/topic/339048-guide-flashing-firmware-to-bladelibra-via-windows/
and here
h**p://android.modaco.com/topic/337426-gen1gen2partition-layout-tool-windows-only/
But i personally won't recommend partitioning you internal memory as the following ICS rom uses the default like partition.
You can follow the following link below to root and flash cyanogenmod
h**p://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=ZTE_Blade
If you find rooting steps given in the guide difficult you can install z4root from following link and install it on your phone to root the phone easily.
h**p://www.4shared.com/file/TA3fZuTc/z4root_zte_blade_permanent_roo.html
Once you install cyanogenmod install "ROM MANAGER" from market and there you will find the option to partition your sd card.

You can partition the sdcard from ClockworkMod recovery, which you need to flash the custom rom or the darktremor scripts to make use of the ext partition. Some roms come with it pre-installed, others you have to flash it separately.
You can repartition the internal memory by TPT or Windows flasher. TPT is the easier and safer method. From your internal memory stats you posted earlier, it looks like you are stock Gen 2, but download the Mr Pigfish app from the market to check.
If it says you are Gen 1, then you can use one of wbaw's TPTs from his thread on here, or you can use them from my app. Once you use one of these, you will be converted to Gen 2 as well.
If you are Gen 2 already then you are most likely stock Gen 2 and will need to use the TPT's from my app (choosing the stock Gen 2 option when it starts), from the thread I made on here, or by using the Windows flasher.
Here's a tip that I just recently discovered.
Since apps that are flashed in your rom (like Market) cannot be deleted in a conventional sense, a duplicate of the app is created whenever they are updated. I found an app called apps2rom that moves the updated version to the rom, and deletes the old version.
I got a good 10mb from that.
Hey.
I just bought HTC HD2 with already installed Android. It's this ROM according to informations i found in Settings > About Phone. It boots normally and run smooth.
I'm facing a few problems but all of them are leading to the one source. The main problem is when I go to the Settings > Storage it shows Internal Storage as follows: the bar is 100% green, Total space shows 0.00B and lower it says Apps (app data & media..) 73.80MB. I think it causes the rest of my problems such as all SMS's are rejected (Text message memory is full. An incoming message was rejected..) or every reboot it resets all the settings. If I cleared all the possible app's data the number under Apps (app data & media..) goes to ~70MB but nothing else changes (the bar is 100% green, and total space shows 0,00B).
This ROM is installed in DataOnEXT option, which I suppose mean I can expand internal memory by making ext4 partition on SD card. I tried it with two cards but it does not work. Here is how it looked after formating. The FAT32 partition is detected without problems, but ext4 not (or I don't understand how it should work?). Anyway it doesn't solve any of my problems.
I tried few other things such as wipes for example (as some suggests in similar problem subjects over few forums) but without results. I'm total beginner with Android system and totally don't know what should I do next. Is it possible to solve those problems without reinstalling Android? I'm a little scared to do it because i have totally no experience in this.
If there are any other informations needed please ask, preferably with a way how to check it. I don't know what else may be important. Also I hope you guys can understand my problem and hold out with such a beginner.

Yes, I booted it to recovery few times in order to make a "wipe" as it was suggested in several threads. It's "CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.6" if that matters.

You mean a data, cache and dalvic cache wipe?
If that didn't work then download the same rom zip and file place it on the root of your sdcard then boot into recovery and install the rom again, (option install zip from sdcard in recovery), doing the full wipe process beforehand.
.
If you have a tmous handset then select "Nand" install when asked during installation.
Otherwise select" DataOnExt" option. (with this option you need to verify that you have a ext4 partition on your sd card).
Simplest way I could put it!
If you go to the first page of the rom thread you will get all the information you require to install the rom.
Setting partition size could be an issue if the above don't work!
Hi,
It was happening to me and i suspect (not sure) this is the Problem with EXT4 wipe with in CMW recovery.
>Create Partition using PC>Don't insert into Before you do Wipe Data and Factory Reset>And then insert SD card>Flash ROM.
>Otherwise you can user TWRP recovery where there is no issues for me with the WIPE ALL.
This is the way i come-out from the issue.
Thank you @shanman-2 and @[email protected]. It was easier than I thought. Everything works perfect now. Many thanks.

alright. i am new here btw. i dont know if someone has already posted this kind of problem on SGY. some were kinda too savvy when i try to relate my problem on other threads.
here it goes:
few months before, i rooted my SGY phone from gingerbread to jelly blast and i successfully did it well. then, i had partitioned my SGY's 8GB MMC. i successfully partitioned my mmc and got extra 1GB for internal memory so that i can install more apps. i had also managed to transfer apps with huge amount of datas to the 2nd partition - to free up space on the real internal memory. everything was perfect until...
i got my phone wet by accident - but not internally and it would not start no matter what. got it repaired by a tech, found out that the power amp was grounded. made some sortings and it was working again.
little did i know that there was a collateral damage - all settings has been reset. i lost my apps, my contacts, messages, and anything saved on the phone. but it's still rooted and runs jelly blast. the problem is that since i made a 2nd partition of my mmc, i cant get them back up again. when i try to go to link2sd>storage info>SD card 2nd Part. and it still shows used 312MB so the apps are possibly in it.
can someone please help me on how to get them back or restored? any advice would be very much appreciated. thanks. :angel:
tried to go on google play but wasn't of help.
I don't think so it is possible to restore from 2nd partition
But I have an idea don't know work or not
go to data folder by using root explorer or anything else
Then search for sd-ext or sd-ext2 and look, there is any apps present or not
If not then open link2sd and clear 2nd partition your memory will be free
press thanks if i help you

Another idea:
Boot a Live Linux from your PC and mount your sd card, then c&p your content to another partition.
Did this on my old Smartphone with 2 Partitions fat32+ext4
Hope that helps

Ey, thanks! I went to my File Explorer>Settings>Root Explorer. I found "data" folder > sdext2 and when i opened it - i saw all the apps i have installed and moved to the 2nd partition! hooray for that!!
i tried to test by clicking on one app, it then opened asking me to use package installer or app system installer. i ran package installer, got warning about installing unknown resources (though the apps came from google play).. so i enabled unknown resources. installed it. :fingers-crossed:
it worked - the app got restored!!! :laugh: is this the right thing to do or was there anything that should be done first? :highfive:
and other questions:
a. link2sd asked me what should be mounted on sd card. i remember from the time i began to partition - i chose ext3. but now on the sd card, when i got the data folder, it shows all my apps on sdext2 folder. which one should i mount? EXT2 or EXT3?
b. due to all this incident, whenever i turn my phone on - it keeps on telling me that the com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. how do i fix this? PS i remember while searching on data folder where i got sdext2, i found another data folder. it shows there com.android.phone but i dont know how to configure this.
