hello every one
i wanna ask if i can use A2SD to move my apps to sd-ext BUT...
not all my apps that i wanna move so here is what i wanna do:
install some apps to internal (so that they will not be in sd-ext)
flash A2SD zip
install apps (so that the apps that i installed after flashing the A2SD zip they will be on sd-ext) and keeping my first apps that i installed be fore flashing the A2SD zip to the phone memory
is it possible ???
use link2sd from market. You can select the apps there and even what goes to sdext (dalvic, app, appdata)

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
Can anyone explain to me how i would setup apps2sd as i have no idea how i would set it up.
i think this way will be a "fail safe" way to do it. but it will/could take an extra install of a ROM.
Back up whole SD-card to example a PC.
install ẂildPuzzleROM
Start Rom Manager and choose partition SD-card and something similar.
Choose size of the ext-partition for example 512mb and you DONT need a swap.
You should now have an ext-partition and the phone should reboot automatic.
Now you can choose to upload all files you wanna flash to a folder on sd-card and reinstall rom and flash apps2sd files.
Hope this helps.
Regards Daniel
ps. their are many ways to make a partition on a sd-card, but this way should work for all users on what ever system and hardware they have.

If you have an ext partition on your SD, then you should have flashed the apps2sd package, you had rebooted your phone and it TOOK SO MUCH TIME, well apps2sd did move every apps to SD at this moment, apps2sd doesn't allow to choose between phone's and SD memory, that's the way froyo handle this feature.

Nandroid backup => format SD card with an ext partition (rom manager) => do a full wipe => flash v6 + apps2sd + move dalvik cache, reboot and wait a long moment before the lockscreen shows up. Voila ! Stable v6 with apps2sd !

And what does it do with new installed apps. Does it write it to SD or intern mem?
Under applications I there is a tab for Apps On SD..
Is there a tab for Apps on Phone?
I keep getting Low on Space error, and cannot remove it.
I've cleared browser cache and deleted SMS messages..
Moved almost every app I could to the SD card (except the system ones, which won't allow me too, and a few widgets which need to be on the phone apparently [winamp, clockr, battstatt]).
Not sure what else is eating the ROM..
Is there an uninstaller app that you recommend that tells me if an app is on external or internal?
I'm running Kangorama 1.1 if that matters.
Thanks
On Kangorama's first post, you should look into the apps2ext method. Nexus One doesn't have much built in space for apps, so it's going to happen pretty easily. I highly recommend apps2ext since i have several gameloft games that eat up my memory instantly.
If you aren't interested in apps2ext, in the cyanogen settings/apps there should be a auto move all to external. This is the default froyo apps to fat32.
Thanks for the tip..
I thought I had apps2ext setup..
It was set in my advanced installer file and I remember choosing an ext2 partition..
however when I run a2sd check in the terminal
it says it finds a partition but it isn't installed properly.. I might have an ext4 partition and this rom doesn't support it..
I tried re-installing and it says it's missing an install file..
Running fix_permissions now..
I'm going to try a2sd uninstall/install in a bit.
You must have an Ext3 partition, so in your recovery you have an option to ext2>ext3.
Then in terminal write this:
- su
- a2sd check
- a2sd cachesd
Then phone will reboot and voila
I have installed typhoon CM 7.1.0 v3.7.0 ROM.
I would like to know how could I move installed apps into SD2 partition witch I created using CWM.
When I use titanium backup I can see there is a2sd but I dont know how to use it

So you have basically flashed a2sd script after restoring apps?
Try wiping dalvik cache. Flash the script and reboot.

No. I just in clockwork mode created partition then installed ROM and then installed apps from market ... they are installing into internal memory and not to 2 SD partition .. I can move them to first partition but not into second one
Ok once again:
I have newly installed android typhoon CM 7.1.0 v3.7.0 ROM clk.
1. I created in CWM a 1 GB partition because I thought the programs Im gonna install will be installed into this partition and not into small internal memory.
2 After creating partition I installed typhoon CM 7.1.0 v3.7.0 ROM clk.
Now system is working and titanium backup shows that there is the active 950 MB a2sd partition.
Problem is that I dont know how should I install programs from android market into this 2SD partition. Im not able to install them nor move there.
So what should I do ?
When installing an app, choose internal storage, typhoon will put it on the SD ext. There is nothing you need to do, it is automatic. Do not choose 'move to SD ',, that will remove it from ext and put it on fat32. Make sure all apps have been moved to internal.
Also when you install, it LOOKS like internal memory drops,,, it doesn't really,, wait a few minutes or restart and memory will go back up.
example, you install a 20mb app,, available internal storage falls by 20mb,, reboot, internal storage goes back up.
I've finally installed a custom rom "B 0.8.4 based on stock HTC FroYo" which is excellent so far.
I'm repartitioned by SD card to use A2SD. I understand that I should move apps back from 'sd' to the phone, which is reality is now the SD ext partition.
I've got some apps that are phone only e.g google maps. I've used on stock rom, Titanium backup to force move to SD to free up space. Is it worth doing with A2SD ? These apps are still sat in internal phone memory as far as I can tell, is that correct ?
Do any apps report memory sizes correctly with A2SD installed ? Android system info doesn't show up the new EXT partition for example.
Search in market: "free space", download & install.
Freespace, thanks got it. It doesn't recognise the A2SD ext partition but its a neat app.

This app reports A2SD correctly.
