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.

i don't understand something...
Yes.. it's a based MIUI ROM instaled
I can't use the terminal... i haven't permissions... read my first message...
"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.

I think that i don't have luck..
i reinstall the my HD2 with this ROM: DFT_LEO_NAND_Android.rar
Another (new) problem... my Android working good... but i don't see my SD...
I seen that SD only at boot if i boot in "MASS STORAGE"
Do you know what i really understand?
I have enough hours loosed... i need my telephone working...
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.

I'm using Lewa OS v4,
Initially there is a Swapper working, with a swap file on System partition (not more than 32 MB).
But i want to make it some large, i tried Ext 4 partition on SD Card .
I go to the swapper setting and change the mode to sdcard partition ,
It says ' swap open failed '.
I reboot, swapping becomes normal but also that partition mounts at /data/app
That is phone memory is replaced by this partition and the apps which i install in phone memory it install on this partition.
And when i check the storage in " Managing Application " tab in setting it shows the real phone memory with apps installed on ext4 sdcard partition.
Its too messy
And due to this i am having trouble using ext4 sdcard partition swap.
Is this is a problem with GB Roms or only with Lewa rom v4

And why are u using ext4 for swap..ext2/3/4 are for sd-ext only..it should be in linux swap.
And try using swapper 2 which is free at play store..it can create a swap file of 256mb max..

Friend,
Use this menthod for swap in lewa os rom v4:
1.Backup ur currently data in CWM(skip this if u want a fresh install)
2.Backup all ur data in SD(place it somewhare in ur pc)
3.Reboot in CWM>Advance>Partition the SD Card>the ext3>512m>32m
4.Press Enter key.wait till its done.
5.Now u have 512mb EXT partition with 32mb SWAP partition & ur SD is REFORMAT.
6.Copy back all ur data
7.Reboot again in CWM & restore or install fresh rom
8.Go to swap in phone(u know where)and apply SD swap.
DONE
why just dont ask in my thread.....
What it means that 512MB EXT4 partition and 32MB Swap partition?
Actually I don't want partition for App to SD.
And if swap is 32MB then swap file in system partition is more feasible. As i know that phone memory is more faster than sdcard in any case. (Might be I'm wrong)
But in my case it is true, I have class 2 sdcard.

No need of external app.
And capable of making 32MB swap in system partition and 128 MB sdcard file

Depending on the apps you often use & how often those apps swap-out RAM, you might actually experience performance lag. Asides (I insist!), beating your card to death.
This is a step by step guide on how you can run Link2SD on your device. This tutorial will work for both stock and cutom ROMs. For ClockWorkMod Recovery users, you can check the other guide below. Follow all the instructions carefully to eliminate possible problems.
First you have to download Mini Tool Partition Wizard Manager. You can download it HERE.
Insert your SD card to a card reader and open it on your computer.
Back up all your files to the computer because partitioning will wipe your data.
Open Mini Tool in your computer. Locate your SD card (be careful in choosing and make sure not to choose the drive of your computer)
Right click and choose Delete.link2sd 3
Right click on it again and choose Create New. Create “FAT32″ partition (This is where all your media files will go. Be sure to make it bigger than the 2nd part)
Select “Create as: PRIMARY” link2sd 4
Next, create an ext2/ext3/ext4 partition (if you’re on stock ROM, choose ext2). This is where your apps will go. I suggest a value of 512Mb or 1Gb would be big enough but if you insist you can go as high as 2Gb.
Select “Create As: PRIMARY” (make sure that it is both set to primary because it will not work if it is not set to primary) link2sd 5
Click the “Apply” button on the top left corner and wait for it to finish the process. Done.
Put back your SD card to your phone and switch it on.
Download and install Link2sd from Google Play Store.
Open Link2sd. You will be prompted to choose between ext2, ext3, ext4 and FAT32. Select ext2. link2sd 6
It will say mount script created. Reboot your phone now.
Open link2sd and if the message doesn’t show up, you succeded.
Go to Link2sd>Settings>check the autolink (to automatically move apps upon installation)
If you already have some apps, select “move to phone” then after moving select “Create Link” (be sure to check the three files: app, dalvic-cache and library files)
link2sd 2link2sd
To check your memory, select “Storage Info”. This will show you the current state of your internal memory, FAT32, and ext2 partition. link2sd 7
Now you’re done and ready to install vast amount of applications as you wish!
FOR CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY USERS ONLY( ALTERNATIVE METHOD)
NOTE: You can also use the instructions above. This guide will work on both stock and custom ROMs.
Back up all your files to your computer. Partitioning wipes the files of your SD card.
Go into recovery mode
Select “Advanced”
Select “Partition SD card”
Choose your SD-ext size (if you’re using a 2Gb SD card, choose 512Mb. If your SD card is 4Gb or greater, you can choose 1024Mb)
Select 0 swap
Wait for the process to finish. Reboot.
Download and install Link2SD from Google Play Store.
Open Link2SD you will be prompted to choose between ext2, ext3, ext4 or FAT32. Choose ext4.
Follow instructions number 14-20. DONE!
There are many things wrong with this guide. Never partition an sd-card with CWM or Minitool partiton wizard. You will probably end up with a damaged sd-card, or most likely with a faulty sd-ext partition. Use Gparted instead.
And why use link2sd when you can install an init d script that works way better?

I appreciate your guide but i have used and still using minitool partition and linktosd .its working perfectly with no lag still after 1 month of use
not all roms support init d script nor 4ext recovry support is avainable for every phone
Thanks. I know 4ext is only available on some phones, that's why I recommend Gparted.
The difference is that Gparted makes a properly linux ext4 partition. I have a friend that used minitool, and he finished off his 16gb class 10 card.
this only for android 4.1.2 or below and not for 4.2, is that right?
Dont know really becoz I used it upto 4.1.2

So after make this process i can move the gameloft data for SD. Really i want just put games and sigic GPS to external SD. I will try this tomorrow. Thanks

KK-Boot 0.5.2 have a feature to make the external SD card (/storage/extSdCard) as an internal media (/storage/sdcard0) and allocate all the internal media space for apps. Users still have full access to internal storage because the internal storage (/data/media) then mapped as external SD card. Cleaning /storage/extSdCard will give more spaces for apps

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:-
1.Link2SD
2.Universal Init.D
Open Universal Init.D & enable Init.D support
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.
