Hello,
I've installed ICS now without any problems, but after installing the data2sd script and then rebooting my phone gets stuck in the boot animation. Even though it's very beautifull eyecandy it really isn't doing much for me.
I did a full wipe! Clear data/factory reset, Clear dalvick cash, etc. Also Task 29 and used HD2 toolkit to create 250MB system partiton with 5MB cache
First I formatted my SD card (8GB class 10) with MiniTool Partition Wizard 7 completely as FAT32 then I partitioned it (with CWM recovery 4.0.0.0) to 2048MB EXT3 with 256MB Swap, formatted that partition again in MiniTool to EXT3
Then I flashed the ROM (NexusHD2-IceCreamSandwich Beta6) to my device without any problem. Booted ICS, rebooted into recovery and flashed Data2SD installer wich didn't give any errors either.
Booted again and now it's stuck in bootscreen, I've waited for at least 45 to 60 minutes before removing the battery and try everything again all over, but with an EXT4 partition just like Yank555 did.
I followed the instructions from this post without flashing APP2SD Killer first since that causes the market to 'hang on app install'
I know there are people how got it to work so it must be something I did wrong! Can anyone give me some good advice?
BTW FYI, I did previously use TyphooN Gingerbread 2.3.3 CM7 A2SD with 1GB EXT partition without any problems...
Hi,
For me it seems you're doing it right...
Your ext4 partition IS a primary partition ? I suppose yes, since CWM will do it that way when you use it to partition your SD card.
Just to be sure, you did reformat the ext3 partion to ext3, or the swap ? I don't know how DATA2SD will react to finding 2 "sd-ext" partitons (more than one ext2/3/4 partiton), never tried that before... If you don't intend to use any swap, you'd rather leave that one out in CWM (choose 0Mb)...
JP.
PS: If you want to use swap (hard swap on a swap partition) I can explain to you how to do that. If you want to do it using a swapfile (once DATA2SD is up & running, you can have a look here).
Tanks for your reply. I don't have much time this weekend due to Christmas shopping and everything But I determent to get this to work! And I won't stop till I do. I'm using this ROM for every day and I just need more space. I found there are more people with the same issue as me, so when I get it to work I'll post my findings in the main development threat as well. But I'll make sure to give you all the credit that is due...
Fixed it! Did had to use sort of a "work-around" but it's working and it's all good! That's most important! If anyone else is looking for the solution for this problem, this is what I used and what works for me!

Please give thanks where they are due, that is to the original poster offcourse and not me!
The fixed work-around is App2SD rite? I think it will be good if we can get Data2SD working. I think the latter is faster.
I also read some managed to get Data2Ext working in Tytung ICS Beta7 already. See this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1403710

Its two steps, youll have to flash i either jf or dude 1.+ but im a dummy and ive successfully done it twice
Go to the thread and in the first post is a link "hot to for dummies" , thatll partition your card, i have actually put apps on my sd so i cant recommend a tutorial for that, but there are applications that do it depending on which build you use

There is a tutorial with pictures here: http://www.allshadow.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=5870 The program it describes, Paragon Partition Manager is what I use and it is quite handy.
Ok thanks I'm going to try it later tonight
can i use the partition professional edition 30 day trial or do i have to buy the full verison??
The trial version I believe is 100% fully functional so you shouldn't have any issues. Remember FAT32 for first partition then EXT2 or EXT3 for the second partition. I wouldn't make the second partition larger than 1GB personally too...
really easy tutorial with pics and everything

Howdy.
I'm kinda new to the whole scene, but I managed to root my tattoo and than flashed the modaca R3 with additions.
But somehow I'm not sure if app2sd is working at all. Do I have to prepare something like Idontknowwhat creating a folder named "APP" or so?
I hope someone can actually help me..

You need an Ext2/3/4 Partition. This can be done in recovery but wipes your sd card, so back up first
Also, MoDaCo ROM only includes Apps2SD if you select it in the online kitchen. If you don't have access to this, my ROM (see signature) is also based on stock and has Apps2SD
Hope this helps
Okay. That problem seems solved.
But I still have one question left:
When are the apps saved to SD? Are only new ones affected or does this also work for updates?
Thanks

If you have the correct partition, all Apps are moved to the SD the first time you boot with Apps2SD enabled, then all new apps are installed there
I also have a few questions about partitioning to get apps2sdd. If you partition the sdd does the gold-card get wiped as well, or it just wipes the user data? And is Windows still able to mount the sdd when it's an ext2/3/4 partition? Finally is it safe to partition when using a custom ROM? (using HCDR 1.5 atm)

Yes, the goldcard will get wiped. Everything does, unfortunately.
Windows is still able to mount the Fat partition of the SD card when using an Ext partition.
And partitioning in recovery is independent of the ROM being used so it will be fine no matter which ROM you use (glad to know you're on mine though )
Thanks To ysgace and all dev.
this is not my job, just made easy to share.
So it's taken a lot of reading from a number of different places but I figured out how to modify the boot.img in the Odin CODE tarball in order to flash with an edited init.rc. I realize that with this power I could have simply built a2sd into the boot.img but one step at a time. So for now, if you want a2sd for Gingerbread (S5830XXKPE) then files and instructions can be downloaded using

so do you have a2sd by Darktremor?
Whenever i try to create an ext2 partition in my sdcard, it is not being mount and i get a warning saying that the card should be formatted. if i give yes, it gets formatted as one single partition of FAT32.. Please help
I used MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition in windows for partitioning
for partitioning use gparted
Before upgraded to gingerbread ROM, it was 2.2.1 where there is a app name "link2sd" free from market, which it mount ext2 partition of sdcard and move per apps apk file to sdcard, of ext2 partition, this is more flexible then Darktremor.
Where with Darktremor, the external sdcard will never able to hot remove from phone and plug it back. Which make external sdcard pointless. remove sdcard card will kill / reboot the phone, given without sdcard, phone can not start up. Also slow performance issues.
Where link2sd allow you select large apk only link to external sdcard, when unplug sdcard the phone still works without reboot / halt.

Sadly it doesn't work on Gingerbread. It's a pity, this app is a must to whom owns an ACE.

Great job!
It is possible to do the same thing with 2.3.4 KPH?
I found so many noobs here in ace forum and so little developers and I want to help you. I come from optimus one forum and i like to help.
You need a custom recovery to create an ext partition and to make darktremor a2sd to worked. Amonra or clockworkmod recovery is the best. Then create an ext partition whether ext2, 3 or 4 then flash dta2sd from the darktremor a2sd thread here in xda(search it). The latest ver is 2753 beta 04.
Remember, without ext partition the dta2sd will not worked.
To check if your a2sd is working, download terminal emulator, press su then enter then type a2sd check.
Or download titanium backup agd check if it says a2sd space=???
Or the best way to check is by a2sdgui app, it is a official app from the dta2sd itself. If it says apps are on sd, then your a2sd worked. And if you guys still reducing memory even after moving apps to sd via a2sd gui app, its time to put the dalvik cache to your sdcard.
Fuh, thats a lot of writing on my phone. I love to help because i will buy galaxy gio soon.
Or maybe you guys should take a look at optimus one forum and learn how to make a custom kernel and rom there. Theres a very good thread on guiding how to build a custom rom and kerne. Im pretty surprise so many noobs here. Like i said i really like to help to improve this community

Hi,
Sorry if this question gets posted too many times but I am downloaded [12-Sep-201][MAG/cLK][CWM] NDT GINGER V16.0 [CM Nightly 2.3.5][Kernel: Tytung r12] which states A2SD+ is in list of features (and I think this is supposed to use my 1gb ext3 partition as internal memory) but I only have 153mb after installing a few small apps. I know my old rom gave me about 900mb free, and am lost as to how to fix this.
Any help would be great.
Many thanks.
But your SD card got a sd-ext partition?
Try to use "s2e" from the market to enable your sd-ext partition.
i've tried it on the desire of my girlfriend and it works... it is still working
Im having same problem over multiple roms using hyperdroid a2sd+ seems to work fime but tried the experia arc rom and another and both have no a2sd+ although chefs both say its supported
I have totally wiped phone and sd card re-partitioned and formated
i have a 1gb ext3 partition but using a2sdgui gives error saying a2sd script not found or ext partition not found when i do in fact have one ?
You guys could always try flashing A2SD to the ROM from CWM recovery. Just do a forum search for Darktremor A2SD
Use the 2nd to most recent version, the most recent has never worked for me
If you can't find it, let me know and I'll attach it in a post on this thread.
Edit: Got bored and came back and attached it. Just flash it via CWM
thanks very much m8 ill give it a whirl
forgot to mention, after you flash it, go into terminal emulator and enter: a2sd reinstall
it should say a bunch of stuff, then reboot. then it'll take a long time to boot up cause it's moving everything to your ext3 partition and creating symlinks
app2sd is working fine with me.. i have only one issue.. all those apps shifted to ext partition, are auto starting up and i cant disable them!!! i used most of apps that used to block startup apps. but those in ext partition keep showing up and slow down starting up of the device! any idea???

Hi guys,
I'm having a problem with my HD2 and tytungs NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA-V2.3 ROM.
I was doing a fresh Install with Task29, Repartition and so on, everything runs fine after fresh install, but when I reboot the phone it stocks in the Bootanimation.
My partitions are 180MB System and 5MB Cache, I'm using cLK and my SD Card got two partitions, the first is ~14GB Fat32 and the second is 1GB EXT3.
I was not able to post this in the Thread of the ROM, why ever, not enough posts or something.
Hope anyone can help me, thanks

PS: sorry for my bad english
Your SD Card was formatted and repartitioned with CWM? And after repartition you don`t format it with different tool?
Remember that first boot could last about 10 minutes.
Any a2sd script?
No I have formattet the sd card with Minitool Partition Wizard Home Edition.
this should work to, I think?
The first boot takes about 5 minutes and everythings seems to be fine, but when I reboot the phone it stocks in the bootanimation.
I have tried to reinstall about 5-6 times from the scratch, but I get the same result when I reboot the phone :-(
No I have no A2SD script yet, but I will use Link2SD when the phone runs well ;-)
Yes, this should work but I also have problem with stucking boot logo/animation when using Minitool Partition Wizard - that`s why I asked. Now I am always using only SD Partition Tool in CWM. So maybe try this...
You can also use larger system partition, let`s say... 200MB (I am using this size). Just for safety. When you will be using Link2SD, there should be no problem.
OK thanks, I will try it with CWM SD Partition Tool this evening when I'm back from work.
Maybe this will help, lets wait and see ;-)
Hi,
it works
Thanks for your hint to try the partition sd card tool from CWM, now the Reboot takes one minute :good:
I will look how it goes, when I install Link2SD tomorrow
but for now it's time for football
