Hi all,
I am having some problems with widgets not loading in Elelinux 7.1.4 RC2 and i supouse they are related to integrated apps2sd. I have moved using adb theese applications to internal storage and I think they are working fine (at least in a couple of hours). Is there any other way to move apps from /sd-ext to /system or adb is just the way to not use apps2sd....
Many Thanks to all and sorry about my bad english..

I had this problem a while back when using a CM based rom. I think the best way to use apps2sd is to use the method where you partition your sd card. I think the rom your using has the ability to select the default location of installed apps somewhere in the settings. Dont let it force any apps to sd, choose what apps to move on your own. Hope this helps lol ive always used the partition sd card method
Doesn't work...
If you choose internal storage... it uses /data/app which a link to /sd-ext/app so it doesn't work ... If you choose SDcard I think it will use sdcard Froyo method...

I always move apps to internal with root explorer. I have an ext partition so I move apps from data app to system app and this works fine for me. Don't forget to mount rw and it should work fine : )

It's true, what I want ti know is if there is any settings for this??? Un fact I don't think so, but could be wrong...I hope

There's no settings for this. With ext partition all apps go to SD. It does feel like a conflict to me between froyo apps2SD and the ext method as the phone settings I always leave alone as I think they assume you have the froyo ( Google ) apps2SD. I may be wrong but my guess is a dev like elelinux could do a script but he is so busy producing great work : )

Hey guys how do you move ALL apps and data to your sd card so when I flash roms (theres a new update everyday it gets too hard) I dont lose my progress in apps and I dont have to reinstall they are already there, is it possible to do this?
Also can you set sd card as default so new apps you install automatically go there.
It would be nice if I could partition just like 1 gb of my SD card just for apps!
Ive searched a few threads and stuff trying to gather information but none of them really helped alot so sorry if this has been answered!
What ROM are you running?

RCmix3D at the moment, thinking about flashing Honey sense hd for a while!
I just want to make a partition of about 700mb onto the SD and move ALL my apps to it so I dont lose my progress and I dont have to worry about them when I flash roms!
thanks in advance!
Hello,
I'm unsure of any batch command to send all existing apps to SD so you may have to go to Settings> Applications> Manage Apps and move each one individually.
To change default app install location, use the following command either through ADB or in a terminal emulator:
pm setInstallLocation 2 //for SD card
pm setInstallLocation 0 //for phone internal memory
You'll find after setting the install location to SD, you'll notice that more apps can be moved to the SD card manually instead of just being greyed-out. However, be careful though - personally, I wouldn't move the following to SD since they've affected performance:
- apps which use a widget on your home screen (music players, aggregators)
- apps which explicitly interact with the system (e.g. task managers, autokiller, autostarts)
- Google apps
Hope this helps.
Backup all user apps in batch mode using titanium backup pro. Saves to sdcard backup folder.
Or
Partition sdcard to ext3 or 4, 0 swap, and use a a2sd+ patch (if your ROM supports it). Backup data on the fat32 partition first, as it may get wiped when the partition is split to make the ext partition. All user apps and associated dalvik will be moved to the ext partition on boot. Just make sure the ext partition is not wiped / formatted prior to flashing ROM. Use pc software such as gparted or mini partition tool free. Been a few phones bricked using the wrong cwm version to partition.
But, if were me, just use Titanium Backup Pro.

Gparted wouldnt find my phone when plugged in when I tried.
Also when you just move to SD through settings>application, it doesnt move the whole app only half and when you install a new rom they arnt there
Gparted is Linux, mini partition tool for Windows.
A2sd+ moves apps to ext partition, not fat32 partition your referring to. A2sd or apps to SD move only to fat32 partition.
There's the difference between a2sd+ & a2sd.

So to move the apps COMPLETELY on to the SD so they are there when you install a new rom and stuff, I partition my sd card in Ext 3/4 and then use a2sd+ to move them over right?
I'm on LeeDrOiD, and don't bother with the patch anymore.
But the method I used was, setup ext partition, flash ROM followed immediately by the a2sd+ patch for 1gb ext, then reboot. First boot will take a while.
Is useful if you stick to the same ROM, ...... as long as you don't wipe the ext partition before each update / build flash, or the ROM doesn't have a inbuilt script that wipes the ext. If that happened, you'd lose the apps and their dalvik cache, although the dalvik should be wiped anyway.
Edit: important, Forgot to mention, move all apps to "internal" memory prior. A2sd+ will take care of it on boot / flash and move all to ext. Any other app DL, just move to internal, and it'll be moved auto next boot.

I got the partition set up and I installed the patch and the reboot took ages but how do I know if there on SD, I dont think they are because when I click on the app some still say move to sd?

Open titanium backup, the first page that opens "overview", look down the bottom, will say something like;
Rom
Internal
Sdcard
A2sd+
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
ok it says sd card (A2sd) 575mb 60.4 free, so I think that means the apps are on there, so if I wipe my phone the apps will stay right?
It will always say move to SD if installed in any other place. But the SD it refers to is the fat32 partition, not your ext. A2sd+ will take care of it and move all new apps to ext on boot, as long as you install to internal memory first.
After some market updates of apps installed to ext , you may have to move to internal and reboot to ensure they're on the ext

Maybe a slightly bigger partition would have been better.
The apps should stay, as long as the ext is not wiped / formatted.
If apps not recognised in market, clear market cache, boot cwm, clear dalvik, boot, use titanium backup pro to restore market link if needed.

I did the biggest one possible in Rom manager
Alright thanks for all your help mate!
Maybe your version, I have not done it since 1gb using cwm 2.5.1.3. But some newer versions had bricked phones. ROM manager is just an interface for cwm, so that's why its best to do it through pc. Should recognise the card through a sdcard adaptor

If you're talking about making the most of the phone's limited data space (ie. for apps, etc.), then the thing to do would be to use some form of a2sd.

System apps don't go to SD card. only installed apps can.
Currently my favorite script is CronMod Int2Ext+.
You can grab it here:
[SCRIPTS]CronMod-A2SD/D2EXT/INT2EXT (updated 08/24)
Note: the script needs ROM (custom) that support ext partition and has init.d tweak.

I use int2ext+ as recommended by the devs of this tweak
If you want use this script with oxygen ROM (GB/ICS), remove 10apps2sd file from init.d. If you don't, your phone will bootloops.
I not a delevppler I m just simple new Android user my friend
I can't understand this language scripts and very scare to read this but I like it
If u can give simple advice then its possible I understand only apps download using that it
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda app-developers app
First of all, we need to know what kind of ROM you're using -- stock, CyanogenMod, etc. -- before we can recommend an A2SD script. Some scripts are not compatible with certain ROMs. As for using the script, the respective dev threads usually have detailed instructions for installation and usage.
I started with Froyo stock (170 MB user available memory), then officialy updated to Gingerbread stock (155 MB) and currently I'm running a customized GB stock (180 MB) I removed all the system widgets and those system apps I don't use. I installed from the market some 20 apps that I use daily. I used Titanium Backup to convert those apps to system apps and to move system dalvik to ROM. And this way I have now a very light (180 MB available), battery friendly and fast ROM (launcher and certain apps overclocked with SetCPU up to 748).
Of course, there are also apps that I use rarely. Instead of moving each of these apps to sd-ext partition, I chose to integrate them into a second rom based on CM 7.2, which I installed on sd-ext with Multirom Manager. Consequently, I boot this second ROM from sd-ext only when necessary.

What's "opt" for disabling system apps? Personally, I deleted system apps I didn't use, of course only after copying their apks to the sd card with a rooted file explorer and making a nandroid backup of the entire ROM.
I installed ROM on and boot it from the sd-ext partition with Multirom Manager:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1828151.
When I used to move individual apps to sd-ext partition (not "directly" on sd card), I did it with Link2SD.
But in both cases (Multirom Manager and Link2SD), an sd-ext partition being required, I recommend Amon Ra recovery, which has a better sd-ext support, and not Clockworkmod recovery, which could not backup properly my sd-ext partition.

Use ungaze script, it adds ext4 partition to your internal memory
We use this kind off stuff on HTC Pico as memory is very low ie. 90 mb

why does my hd2 have 151mb of internal storage and only 91mb for installing apps. i have NexusHD2 ROM.:crying:
You have a 512MB HD2 (European). And most of that is taken by the system partitions and whatnot. You need data2ext or sth like that so that you can have more storage.
create ext4 partition on your sd card using mini partition tool, it will increase your internal memory.
Hit thanks if it helped :laugh:
it's normal that you have only this storage memory, Nexushd2 ROM are consuming a lot of memory.
You can move your apply on your sd-card if you have one or you can do that Rahil S say.

So when the ext partition is created, will some of the internal memory still be used up by apps that are on SD.

When you create an ext partition, it becomes the internal memory for apps. No need to move anything to SD.

No. Even after creating the ext4 partition, data and apps won't move on their own. You need to reflash the rom with the option "DataOnExt".
You can use TB to backup your apps, and restore after you re-install.
Is there another way, cause I don't want to mess around with the flashing stuff as I have bricked my phone in the past. I mean is there an alternative to flash like partition the SD card and use app like link2sd to move app data to sd

Are you looking for 10 posts also? Because we've already agreed that DataOnExt is the best option. He DOES want to give it a try, so your post is pointless = You are looking for 10 posts. What's the sudden interest in the HD2 section for spamming?
Also, NO. Your apology for interrupting this conversation IS NOT acceptable.
Anyway, @OP:
I think the best option is to back up all your apps using Titanium Backup, reinstall the ROM with DOE option, and then reinstall TB and your apps.
No, using Link2SD will not help you. It doesn't work like that. Sorry.
go to market and dowload link2SD to link or move app to SD ext or

Please re-format your ext4 partition to 1gb. As far as I know all those dataonext scripts using 1gb.
