Stupid noobie question I'm sure but I need some advice:
I'm running CM 5.0.5.3 on my N1 with AmonRa 1.7 recovery-cyan version and
App2SD. I partitioned my SD card with a 500mb ext2, then converted ext2 => ext3. All is good, but when I download apps everything is put into the main partition and I have nothing in the ext3 partition. Basically its wasted space of 500 mb right now.
How do I put apps, etc into the ext3 partition instead of the main partition? ADB push I would guess, as I can't copy/paste or move using Astro FM? If ADB push, what would be the command line instructions? Sorry, but don't know the programming language well enough to do it on my own.
you hv to enable App2SD in the Application section of the Setting menu to install apps in the SD ext partition... if you want to move ur apps, u'll hv to install CM 5.0.6 [has an option to move apps]... else, u hv to uninstall the apps and reinstall...

Craig,
App2SD is enabled and presently storing ALL apps to the main partition. I understand updating to 5.0.6 to get the added functionality also. If I uninstall an app, say Pandora, how would I reinstall it on the ext3 partition? By default, wouldn't it just reinstall on the main partition with App2SD?

I had the same problem and just went about getting my apps2sd working a different way. I have not been able to get of the built-in features (tethering, apps2sd) in cm to actually work so I use 3rd party solutions.
Its needs to be ext4 not ext3.
New Apps2SD method implemented mostly by Chris Soyars. Create an ext4 partition and enable it in settings->applications (wiki page coming soon)

5.0.6 is the first iteration of CM that I am able to use apps2sd natively without having to resort to the older method of achieving this.
I just wiped/flashed and for kicks, gave it another try. Finally
I had repartition my SD card for a while, and I never checked my 512M ext3 partiton since I rarely do anything with it. Recently I mounted it and check, nothing store in it, all app go to .android_secure in my Fat32 partition.
I'm using CM7, is there any extra step to get app install goes to ext3 partition, or I should delete the ext3 and resize fat32 partition ?
Edit: as I search around, CM7 using Froyo App2SD ? Maybe I should install Darktremor App2SD or not ? Is there any extra step to install it on Wildfire
You are right. Flash DTApps2SD.
when I install darktremor, will it move all app to ext3 or I have to do something with it ?
Thanks for your answer, maybe I'll install darktremor app2sd now
I installed DTApp2SD anh successfully moved dalvik-cache to ext partition, but .android_secure still there.
When I run a2sd reinstall, next time the phone will never load, stuck at HBOOT boot screen.
Hey guys, can somebody help me?
QUESTION: When a sdcard with a second partition is formatted, the second partition is deleted?
I'm asking because after selecting ext3 on Link2SD and rebooting, the app does not recognise the second partition. Has it been deleted after the sd format?
Running Evolution x4.2.0
it depends what program formats it - cwm for example would probably delete all partitions and create and format a new partition
if you just want to format a single partition you would need to do it in mini tool or partition magic for example on a pc
also if you change roms you will have to reinstall all the apps again as the data partition is deleted

Make sure you've set the SD dir to NativeSD.
10.Services => 3. AD SD Dir => select NativeSD

mac4a folder size is 347mb.....m i doing it wrong?
plz reply fast. I m waiting for ur reply.
It sounds like you have extracted the zip and put it on your sd card, instead of installing the zip from recovery.
Have you created an ext4 partition on your sdcard?
finally u got my problem....yes, i have extracted zip file and put all the 5 folders on sd card...but not done ext4 .....plz help me.....explain the solution in detail.
plz, reply fast......
please, reply....still waiting
how to install zip from recovery? Plz help.
it is best to use minitool partition wizard http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html which you might have already. Be careful to identify which is your sdcard and which is your pc and/or hard drive, you do not want to delete your hard drive
Assuming you have FAT32 on the left and an "unformatted" partition on the right (which holds your WP7), you need to create a new ext4 partition from the fat32 partition in the middle, without touching the wp7 partition.
So delete the fat32 partition, then create a 2gb smaller fat32 (primary, default clusters) using the slider on the right
Then create the 2gb ext4 partition (primary, default clusters) in the middle.
Press the tick to actually start the process, or undo if you made a mistake.
You should then have 1st fat32, 2nd ext4, 3rd "unformatted" (it may say "other" for filesystem=wp7) all primary.
You then need to put an sd recovery on the fat32, such as https://goo.im/devs/Xylograph/Various/Recoveries/SD/
unzip it and put the folder with the files in it on your sd card.
put the rom.zip also on the sdcard do not unzip it.
put card in phone
magldr 10 services > 1. bootsettings > ad sd dir and select the recovery folder with the files in it
magldr 2 boot ad sd
install the rom nativeSD
after reboot, magldr 10 services > 1. bootsettings > ad sd dir and select NativeSD
magldr 2 boot ad sd
profit?
Please do not post your questions in the development section any more, people will tend to either ignore you or flame you.
thanks for reply....r u sure there r 3 partitions..? Bec from the video tutorial by dxdy there r only 2 partitions(unallocated and fat32)...and there is no recovery folder or files.....in that video he only copy extracted rom files to sd card.....is ext4 really important?
i have also done the way you said it except ext4 partion.... downloaded the recovery twrp 2.2.2.0 leo sd.zip extracted it and put that folder in sd card with rom.zip ...then selected ad sd dir but there is no native sd option....after selecting boot ad sd still getting same error. It says 'sd kernel open failed'....plz guide me

Yes, for mac4a rom that you want to install, it must have an ext4 partition to install NativeSD.
The roms that dxdy was talking about are sd builds, which are now superceded by NativeSD.
You could just chose an [SD] build from http://forum.xda-developers.com/hd2-android/sd-dev if you don't want to run the risk of re-partitioning and losing your wp7, laptop or hard drive.
thanks alot for reply....as u said i have created fat32 of 1.69gb but dont show ext4 option it shows ext2 and ext3 so i selected ext3 of 1.45gb....will it make any difference? Can i continue with ext3?

I think you will need to create an Ext4 partition of at least 1Gb on your Fat32 partition, either with minitool partition wizard or use Extended TWRP as your recovery.
my tut is too old from times when android run from FAT32 sdcard...
for nand version procedure is different and i not make tut for that
i sold my HD2 two years ago and since then i cant test this options....
THIS IS ONLY FROM MY MEMORY (maybe i write something wrong or forgot some steps)
for NAND ROM installation you need 4EXTRecovery for SDcard... not sure for complete procedure but first make WP7 partition (look my old tut) and rest left for android...
put 4EXTRecovery on SDcard (for example in A folder)
boot to magldr
10.Services, 1.BootSettings, 3.AD SD Dir, select "A"
10.Services, 1.BootSettings, 1.Boot source, 1. Android from SD
2.Boot AD SD
wait to load 4EXTRecovery
advanced - Partition SD card
select minimum 512 mb, this is EXT4 partition for system, rest of memory if you want is FAT32
2nd sd-ext skip
swap skip
Yes - I'm sure
EXT4
wait format to complete
red button to back to main menu when format complete...
now is ready to install ROM...
togle usb storage (in 4EXTRecovery)
copy ROM in zip file to SDcard
Next, Next, Agree, Next - Install on NativeSD/semi NativSD - Format (yes)
RMNET Connection
select options you want, after restart when boot to magldr just select which system you want boot
10.Services, 1.BootSettings,
thanks for this....dual boot hd2 finaly succeded
ur video tut is still useful....thanks alot
