How can i disable Apps2SD on my Cyanogen 2.7.1?

Hello XDA,
Can anyone instruct me on how i would go about disable Apps2SD on my Cyanogen 2.7.1 Mytouch3g? Thanks.

By posting in the Q&A
But follow the guy below me's answer. Meant to put that to not seem like a butt, but forgot

If you don't have a partitioned sd card it will be disabled. Just have one partition (fat32) and viola, no apps2sd

perhaps a way to disable without having to re-partition an sdcard (currently using apps2sd) would be helpful?

Format your ext2 partition as fat32.

Is there a way to move the apps of the partition first? Just mv everything into /system/data?

exactly what i wanted to ask...
Any help with this?

You could try removing them all from the SD card and just install them using a batch file, any data that was created should still be on there as you just removed the .apk and they won't be modified. And to format the SD card, easiest way I know how is just flash AmonRa's recovery image and use the option in there, but before you do, take all the files off of your SD card.

You don't need to do anything for app2sd in CM because it is built in. but if you want app2ext flash darktremor patch.

i think darktermor is already present in Openfire.. so i just need to partition the SD to ext and install openfire???

You can easily change, modify partitions, using Ubuntu 10.1 Live:
http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
Make example a bootable USB stick, and you can do anything, with your partitions
My Wildfire with Cyangenmod works great...with Fat32 + Ext2 partitions
I made it with gParted
cheers

A2sd help needed!

When I try to use A2SD commands I get "darktremor apps2sd may not have ran during boot cannot read a2sd.mountpoint"
Its saying my sd partition is not mounted, and no apps have moved to sd card

Have you partitioned your SD card correctly so that it works with a2sd?

I think so, I partitioned it Ext4. what else do I have to do?

Please list the exact partition config you have on your SD card. That way we'll hopefully be able to see the problem. Also please tell us which ROM you are using.

Ok I have an Ext4 745.20mb partition with 28mb used (I dont know what its used on)
Im using RCMix3D but I installed the A2SD script and I know its working because I can use A2SD Commands!

Sorry, you have an SD card with a single 745MB ext4 partition?
Can you post your exact SD card partition info - all partition sizes, file systems, and in what order they are partitioned.
Also, your ROM - have you asked this question in the relevant thread?

Sorry what I meant was my first partition was 6.69gb and Fat32, Then I partitioned 750mb off as Ext4.

Data first and then A2SD partition second is usually the right way around but I am not familiar with your ROM. For example, does it support EXT4?
Might be worthing popping over to the thread for your ROM in the Development forum and asking around there.

Yeah I did data first, and yeah it does support EXT4.
The rom doesnt actually have A2SD in it, but I put it in myself so its probably no use asking in the rom thread.
I've tried everything, I've partitioned it on linux, gparted, minitool partion on windows, Clockwork recovery, none work.
Thanks for your help anyway!

[Q] regarding EXT4 via CWM

hi
i also have an olive pad & in a discussion in that forum i found out that if we use CWM to do to ext it does only ext2 & not ext4(see below link)
link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17028858&postcount=6
now my question is how to do we do EXT4part via CWM as i was told that we
need ext4 to be present on our SG3 for the apps2sd to work on the cooked roms
i do have the madteam apps apk can i use that
thanks in advance & sorry if this question was asked i could not find it

hi
thanks guys let me explain a little more on why this confusion
i also have a HTC tattoo on which i also have CWM
on the tattoo i have the option of converting ext2 to ext4 ie on the system CWM
we dont have the same and im not confy with the above mentioned tools. so will Madteam apps work for me
and again another reason for this confusion is that recently i have been having alot of problems with the cooked roms not working well and i feel maybe this is because of me having ext2 & the cooked roms need ext4.Do correct me if im wrong here

umm.. if u really want to use minitool or gparted.. then y takin so much pain to use cwm to partition.. partition ur sd directly to ext4..

FuguMod and G3MOD kernels are capable of converting file systems of sd-ext partition too
add this line to fs.convert and making the partition through cwm(and btw i think it makes ext3 partitions)
anyways here's the line
Code:
mmcblk0p2 ext4
hope it helps

IF you made a partiton,convert it to ext4-helps a lot (in other ways too because ext4 is far more better than ext2)
the partiton isnt needed for any cooked rom
it is just an addon so we can get more space for apps
If you can specify what kind of problems you are having and on which rom then i can help more

Its time to partition. A few questions.

Okay, I am now thinking of partitioning my SD Card....
So a few questions:
1. What are ext4, SWAP and any other kind of partitions and the difference between them?
2. How do I partition and what should be the size of different partitions, how many partitions and each partition for what purpose?
3. After partitioning, what next so that all my apps go to partitioned SD Card, like adding a few App2SD Scripts?
4. What exactly are these App2SD and Data2SD Scripts and the difference between them?

See THIS
And also THIS

That was a good read....
But what is "Swap"?
I have no idea what that is....
And is there specifically any difference between ext3 and ext4?

AFAIK swap is a partition that makes it run as ram when its required.. In short for memory!!
And ext3 and ext4 are just linux partitions and ext4 is recommended. Google is always your friend!!

If you are getting some errors/bugs after partitioning, disable swap as it doesnt work for every1
