a2sd memory problem

hey !
I've partitioned my sd as 256mb a2sd and my all apps are installed in that memory..but now a2sd partition is full and i cannot install any app..It says memory full( but I've 132mb left in phone's internal memory). so my question is how can i use that memory to install my apps.

wen, app2sd becomes not worthy for u, u r left with data2sd..
to enable data2sd--
1st of all delete the app2sd script..
flash any fugumod kernel..
then make a file & write in it "mmcblk0p2"..
rename the file to "fs.data2sd"
move fs.data2sd to /sdcard/Android/data/fugumod
restart..
u r done... )

now this is something new..so what will it enable?
And my question was how to install apps on internal memory( which is 132 mb free ).. how to use that memory ?

App2SD script is present in /system/etc/init.d. If you want to delete it, you can do it using root explorer. Mount system as rw and delete it.

that is not possible.. coz ur whole /data gettin mounted to mmcblk0p2 partition, so ur internal memory becomes useless..
***but I think that will increase ur system space... (jst a thought, correct me if I m wrong) )

Hmm. So you are saying that the whole data partition including /data/data also goes to SD with this??

Oh. You are right then. . And also we would need an SD card of high class in order for this to work smoothly.

That s ok. You can use apptosd v2. But this method described here, I don t know. Since the entire data partition is moved, you would probably need atleast a class 4 SD card.
But if you want to delete the apptosd script, delete it from /data/etc/init.d using rootexplorer. But your datas will remain in the sd-ext partition only. So don t know how you are going to recover that.

fs.data2sd should be in /sdcard/Android/data/fugumod for fugumod kernel
or
fs.data2sd should be in /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod for g3mod kernel

I try this now i am on your ulti 1.4

[Q] Link2SD not linking to SD Card 2nd Partition

I followed the tutorial by Sir CarlDeanCatabay to increase the Internal Memory by partitioning SD Card using Mini-Tool Partition Wizard. I first made my 2nd Partition as EXT4(as Merruk 2.5 supports EXT4), but, Link2SD was unable to mount script. I tried with both EXT2 and EXT3, but, the same result came. I saw another external tutorial which said to make the 2nd Partition FAT32; I did, and Link2SD was able to mount. I installed some Apps and LWPs, and Link2SD said that it was link to the SD Card. When I looked upon the Storage Info in Link2SD Menu, I saw my 2nd Partition as same as it was at first, but, my Primary Android-SD(it was set as Active during partition) was filled with 35 MB out of my knowledge.. Isn't link2sd linking my apps to the 2nd Partition and instead doing so to SD Main? If so, what should I do? Thanks!

I think u must prefer cwm method....as it is easy and doesn't creates problem

I wish I'd have done that, I've already partitioned...I'm also not so sure if it is linking or not..

Did you set your 2nd partition as primary?

yeah! I did set my 2nd partition as Primary and FAT32....since, Link2SD was unable to mount the EXTs...

[Q] SD Partition

I already partitioned my sd card months ago but this totally bothered me. I 2nd partition is 1gb and when i open settings->apps->manage applications, it still shows that my internal memory is only 190mb. What seems to be the problem?
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium

You want to increase you internal storage?
Cant see what you want dude

Are you using any mods?
Sent from my Galaxy Pocket with rooted stock ROM

There is no problem here
use link2sd to mount your 2nd partition then you can link apps to free up internal storage so you can install more apps
your total internal storage will not increase - only available storage if you link apps to sd card that are currently on internal or have lib files on internal
on most deodex custom roms after you have installed around 80 apps you will have between 30mb & 60mb of free internal storage depending on the data & cache of apps

I know how to mount the 2nd partition. All i want is to see that my internal memory has inreased to 1.190gb. Because in task manager, it only shows that i only have 190mb, though i already partitioned my sdcard for 1gb.

I don't believe you understand what a 2nd partition is/does
your total internal storage will not increase - that's impossible without repartitioning the internal storage & taking space from other internal partitions which would be stupid as you would take space from boot partition
an sd card partition is on your sd card so you split the total storage of your sd card into two therefore your total internal storage hasn't increased - you haven't put a bigger internal hd in
your 2nd partition size is displayed in the info in link2sd
what it does is take apps in internal space & place them in the 2nd partition - it then leaves a link file where the app was so basically the app still behaves like it's on internal but it's not

No, i understand. Well, that would be all. No problem anymore.

using Link2SD doesn't increase your internal memory/RAM ... Link2Sd makes it easy for Android 1.6+ users with root privileges on their phone to move applications to the "SD card".

Its possible with amarullz script

Its a script that you put in your init.d folder.
But i cannot ensure that works on every rom/kernel kombo.
With hells fusion 50# kernel + evo x3 rom is it working (my daily use)

Want to see internal storage increase? Modify the ramdisk to mpunt the sdcards 2nd partition as /data and BAM there ya go

Yea, if your SDcard not partitioned yet, the rom will bootloop

If you modify the fstab correctly and make userdata at least 1GB you should be fine. I've partirioned my sdcard to use external sd, cache, system, and userdata giving me much more space to install roms and apps. I'd recommend a more powerful sdcard to take away the lag

Yes for linking apps to sd depending on kernel support & selecting the correct mount scripts in link2sd
No for swap - you need a swap partition but swap is pointless anyway - There is no need for it & in my opinion you will get no benefit

Thanks for replying,
By the the time I was waiting for some reply I tried out Roehsoft Ram Expander for swap.
Is there any other way for increasing internal memory only?

Only by creating virtual storage on your sd card & linking apps to it - you already have an ext partition
If you mean ram then no - nothing that will make the phone suddenly super fast

If the ext partition was created properly & you using a kernel that supports it (don't ask me for suggestions) & you select the appropriate mount script in link2sd

I have set the default install location in link2sd to internal, confirmed using command
pm getInstallLocation
1(Internal)
But still certain apps get installed to the sdcard. If the apps get installed to the sdcard link2SD cannot auto link newly installed apps. In A2SD GUI it shows apps on internal. How do I force the apps to get installed on the internal storage?
Do I need to activate zipalign on boot in a2sdgui?

You can't force an app to install anywhere - only ask it to but if it's manifest states to install it somewhere that's where it will be installed
Of course you can decompile the apk & edit the manifest resign the apk & install it however you won't be able to update the app via playstore without uninstalling the modded version first
Best to just manually link what you want

Either remove the mod if possible maybe a script in init.d or flash stock rom via odin & start again (see my firmware thread)
Also your kernel might not support this mod
Please don't ask me what does as I don't have your device

link2sd wont work
second partition wont mount automatically.
link2sd wont work after rebooting many times
