[quistion] a2sd for vega? - Vega General

I've searched xda and google for days and can't find a straight answer.
Is it possible to get a a2sd script running on any rom for the Advent Vega? I read that it's possible to use link2sd from the market but is that gonna work the same.
I want to buy this device and share all the apps (100+) from my phone onto it but 512mb just is not enough.
Any answer will be greatly appreciated

AFAIK Link2SD is better than App2SD.
Don't need them because I'm using Froyo and its built-in App2SD feature.
And this tablet doesn't have 512MB ROM, but sadly only 150MB free ROM storage for apps.
PS: With your post count you should already be familiar with XDA's rules!
This thread should be in General section!

Thankyou, to be honest I rarely make threads and as it was about a a2sd script I thought it should go in development.
I'm not talking about the crappy stock a2sd and the thousands of apps that enables you to go to manage apps and move them across that way.
I'm talking about proper DTa2sd, the same script up can get on most handsets that moves any installed app to the ext partition on the sd card not the fat32

I asked this on numerous treads. And never got an answer.
I searched a lot to but not found a thing.
Maybe it is personal. but i find link2sd crap.
a2sd on my HD2 is amazing it just look likes the internal memory is used.
I'm going to follow this tread.

Looks like no1 is able to answer. It's a shame as from what I read this tablet has so much potential. I'm going to look at how the script works and make 1 my self.
IF ONLY I KNEW WHAT TO DO!!!

Use link to sd. Best option for the low internal mem devices. I use it too first on the stock android, now on the latest honeyice rom.
Works like a charm and due to the ext2fs compatible with all apps. More than app2sd. Link2sd also has app2sd build in.
Just my xx ct

Can anyone recommend a rom with lots of internal space

I'm currently using CMYLXGO stock desire rom and i love it but the last few days ive been getting a low memory icon. I look and my phone says 90%. Wierd cause ive deleted many apps and have app2sd as well. I dont know if its me or the rom but I was wondering if anyone can recommend a rom that offers lots of space for apps. For some reason while the icon is up I dont even get emails. If anyone is using app2sd i have a question. When i click on the "phone only" tab it says 21 apps but on the moveable tab it says "no moveable applications found". And on my sd tab it says only 9 apps. How do I move those phone apps to my sd? Maybe that'll clear space.
If your using SD android, (i dont know about nand or ram) Search for toporesize in xda, find [app]windows resize data img maker thread and download the app, then just follow the instructions but backup your img first and don't resize to bigger than 2048mb(2gb).
Then you have larger internal memory with the same rom!

I beleive so. Its a zip on my sd card, if thats what you mean
Ok sorry. I just searched for it and it is nand. Different filesystem setups.
I only use SD card builds so I can still use winmo if I like.
Looking at the thread for your build you need partitions or something.
In which case I'd recommend the rom in my signature.
Sorry for the mix up.

There's a special version for TMOUS and everything is explained so you cannot make a mistake
Enjoy the power dude!!!!!!!!!!!!
so it seems the instructions are cut and dry. One question it doesnt answer. Should I take all my current rom zips out of my sd?
Unless you absolutely positively need sense, I would recommend and AOSP build like this lightning fast gingerbread build: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=918899
sense builds will always tend towards the bloated side. The system partition on the gingerbread build i linked only takes up about 125 mb. vs the 400mb partition that cmylxgo's dhd build takes up
so i went with coredroid and so far so good. I wanna thank you guys for all the suggestions you've provided

Please Read this. Quick answers would be appreciated.

I am using the Stock JPS firmware with no Mod and want to know is there any app for Partitioning a SD Card? Please help me soon. I have a 8 GB SDHC Card and want to partition 2 GB for Apps.
Please See- I dont want to migrate to any custom ROM for CWM I want to stick to Stock JPS.
Also I want to know does the Stock Samsung Kernel support loop devices? Asking because I want to Run Ubuntu on my I5801.
Kindly reply soon. Thanks in advance. Waiting for reply.

You can partition using minitools partition wizard. And then you can use Kyrillos' App2SD v2 script to move apps to SD.
Any links for Kyrillos App2SD Script?
i don't think you can use app2sd as it needs a kernel that supports init.d scripts... Stock kernel doesn't so all you can do is:
1) switch to a modded kernel
2) download app2sd app (or somethink similar) from market to move apps to sd
However, i suggest to wait for someone wih more knowledge to answer.
thanks a lot..

Teamhacksung's CM9(Build 15) doesnot allow full usage of the 2 GB memory in I9000

CM 09 Build 15 starts showing Low memory issue as soon as the memory consumption nears 225 MB of ROM, when there is about 1.6 GB of Memory still left in the phone. SGS I9000 has 2 GB of ROM.
I don't think the RAM could be running out because I used to have a lot more apps running with Gingerbread and still it does not used to show low memory error still. Nor has any app crashed. Now the apps too crash when the low memory error occurs.
PS: I did not have permission (this is my first post in XDA ) to write on the development thread so posting here.
(I had posted this in XDA general, now moving to SGS forum. Thanks @cashmundy for the tip)
This is a known issue and the 2nd time in 2 days I've answered this. It's talking about the space in /datadata, you can check how much you have by looking in the folder using root explorer. Moving some larger apps to SD should help.
Thanks.. I checked the known issues in the development thread and since it wasn't listed there, I posted here.. It would be great if the main development thread's first post can be modified to reflect this also a known issue. Yep, I have for a temporary basis I have uninstalled a few apps and have moved a few more apps to SD card.
Looking forward to the next build or the subsequent builds for the fix!
Thanks @beardedwonder for the reply!

Thanks for the quick reply. I have implemented the solution that has been suggested in that thread.. Will report back after analysis if I run into issues.. Thanks again for the good soul that made the script..

It has been more than 8 days since I implemented the suggested solution and I have installed atleast 20 apps, and a few of them are really huge, like wordweb(which downloads about 40 MB of data).. And I have to say that the fix is nothing short of awesomeness!
Thank you to whomsoever it applies..
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
This is a common problem with all ICS ROMs. All you have to do is use an app like Root File Manager, and open datadata folder and make a new file called ".nodatadata", reboot and no problems restoring your apps from titanium backup or whatever you use!

[DISCUSSION] - CM9 discussion thread

As I posted in the dev thread let's bring the chit chat into the general forum and keep the dev thread on topic and clear for people to help the devs move this rom forward.
So this thread is for all the GENERAL CM9 discussion.

Despite this, people will still go to the development thread to ask questions, request features, banal talks... etc.
Maybe use this thread to summarise FAQ's found in the other thread (and subsequently this thread)
Edit the first post to stay on top of things?
In summary, no exfat on CM9, use ext4 format if you must have files over 4Gb (that's all I know so far, I don't have CM9 installed yet)
*subbed*
Get xplod to put a link to this thread in the development OP? A link to that thread from here wouldnt hurt either
is there a way to block calls in cm9? (without having to install an apk from the market)
I don't have phone yet; however, was wondering if on cm9, do you still have the same camera function as with touchwiz, like fast burst, best shot, taking pic while recording? I don't really care about losing s voice.

I don't think that's what he was looking for. And I'm not sure if you can just apply the crt animations from CM9 to stock ROM.

If it's like on linux i guess you need to install an mtp library to get it working (i.e. mtpfs).

Android File Transfer worked fine on stock using PTP and works great with my friends Gnex. Googled mtpfs for OS X but nobody seems to have had any success.

Would Android beam on CM9 work with S-beam? Ie someone on stock samsung rom uses s-beam to communicate with me on android bean, no issues?
Could we use NTFS on the 64Gb SD card on the GSIII using CM9?
If not.. could I somehow parition the microSD card into x2 32Gb partitions, one ext4 the other ExFAT that way I can run with this until one of the other prevails? I only like copying data once....

Backing up Titanium backup

I have a folder from my old ROM with all my apps backed up on titanium. Now when I go create a new ROM where do I put the titanium folder so it will show all my apps?

The TB folder should be on your SD card. Prior to flashing a new ROM you can use the menu in TB to create an update zip file, which is flashable in recovery. When you flash the ROM zip you can also flash the TB zip, which will install TB on your phone without having to download it from the Play store. All you have to do then is do a batch restore of your user apps from TB and you'll be set.

FinZ28: thanks for reply but somehow I put the TA backup folder from my old ROM in a few of the folders on my phone and it popped up lol But now the problem I am having is with a2sd. It seems that all the apps are going both on my internal space & on the a2sd I created...Why is it doing that? I want all the apps to go to a2sd I created and not internal storage...
Do you know if your new ROM supports a2sd? You might have to find the right package and flash it to gain support for the a2sd partition. Check the OP of the ROM post. Better yet, check TB, and look at the memory readings for all of the partitions listed. If your partition isn't there, then it isn't supported natively.
aarsyl: I am running .500 reloaded ROM & you need to flash DarkTremors a2sd. I first created a parition w/ swap file 0 and 1 gig of space then I flashed ROM .500 reloaded then gapps then DT a2sd. When I go to Titanium I can see the 1 gig partition I created it says SD card (a2sd) and its taking up about 200 MB, however under internal its also taking up 200MB...the whole point of the a2sd is to free up space for internal storage..Why is it taking up space in both internal & the a2sd partition?
That's because it doesn't remove the ENTIRE thing to a2sd,to MY knowledge. I may be wrong, for I haven't dealt with that for a long time.
I suggest that you do a test. Install a few apps from the play store, and see what happens with the two partitions, and also monitor which partition loses more space.

Well like I said it seems to be taking space on both internal storage and the SD card... I just installed an app and it took 14mb off of SD (a2sd partition I made) & 24MB off internal...What do I need to do to get it to only take space on the a2sd and NOT internal storage?
Bump anyone? I notice in TA sum apps are on the SD card while some are not...How is that when I installed all the apps at the same time?!
Any input appreciated...
Ok...so know one else seems to know the answer to your question. Have you tried a2sd with another rom to see if it behaves the same way? That's the most that I can think of. Preferably a rom that already has it baked in.
Just trying....

Appreciate the response aarsyl however, what other rom should I try it with? .500 reloaded seems to work the best. Is there anything similar that has everything that ROM offers? Many roms I see around here always have something missing, be it FFC, video, 4g, ect....
Wow...you're asking for a lot. Just kidding...I just haven't tried out Roms for my OG Evo for months...give me until tomorrow, and I will return with an appropriate answer. But FYI, Sense 2.1 roms are definitely your best bet, since the phone was made for it (stock). If you don't prefer Sense, at least stick to GB. There are no ICS roms with everything working, and JB is even worse.

Any gingerbread rom has everything working. Only the ICS/JB rom's have things broken. Jellybread and Thundershock are 2 of the most popular. Emilio Unchained isn't far behind. Mokee if you want a really different feel. Unoffical CM7.1 in Original Development section if you want a stock CM feel that you can customize and make your own without having things you don't want or need.

.Reloaded is based on 2.3.5 and deck's custom ROM. The other ROMs are based on 2.3.7 and have CM controls. Some app's function differently. Different lock screen controls. etc. Few things like that. Don't get me wrong, I like reloaded, but it could use some updates.
Cyanmobile and MIUI are also... interesting, because they are quite different. As long as you are using the GB version of MIUI, everything will work. They are also 2.3.7 based.
If you like reloaded, stick with it. There is nothing wrong with it, and it's a good, stable rom. The question was, what has everything working. Sense 1.0 ROMs are the best for everything working. If you don't like sense, I was giving options since you already use reloaded.
souleman: what would u recommend as the two best ROMS under 2.3.7 with everything working including hdmi? Just wondering if the ones u mentioned are really better than relaoded or just a different look...
bump soul?
