Why won't dalvik move to my SD card?
I'm not able to post a picture so I'll try to explain. I'm getting this message "dalvik runs from Int. Storage. Setup issue. Run a2sd repair to fix."
So I run a2sd repair and now I got this message "unmount. can't unmount /data/dalvik-cache: Device or resource busy [x] unmount failed." "mv can't rename '/cache/dc*': no such file or directory"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=650
I've already looked there, I've also used the search function in this forum and another, I've also googled.
Now I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I having no luck finding them, could someone please help or link me to the proper thread?
I would post in the Aps2Sd thread..might help also.

I know there are a lot partial and confusing topics about this, but I didn't find the right way for me..
I followed this one --> http://www.xda-italia.com/modules.php?name=News&new_topic=5
I got a lot of ******** but not the final message, anyway I rebooted, It reloaded the sd but if I try to access to the SD the system wants to format it.
Just a question, how to save this row datas in a file?!
are the instructions the same of blueangel?
Thanks!(I'm very confused)

Well, it was there. It is gone because some twitts keep erasing all the files on the ftp site. I wonder if it is Bill doing that
It seems that a lot of stuff are deleted in the ftp.. why don't use the wiki?
I know Bake Snack said it was as easy as doing it thru ClockworkMod, and selecting 512mb partition, then selecting OM for swap. But for some reason I have a feeling that it's only a EXT2 partition. And I need a EXT4.. Does anyone know how to accomplish this? Anyone have any script's laying around for achieving this??? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks so much fella's for you time. I gotta hit the sheets now, but i'll check for any replies when I get up.. thank you very much...
Oh BTW: Im running windows 7, incase anyone needs to know
EDIT: Forgive me if this is supposed to be in questions...
EDIT: Also, I do know you have to upgrade to EXT4, and if thats all I gotta do then I need to know how to do that, plezzzzzz.....
well in regular linux world, you format filesystems with mkfs, just typing 'mount' into the command like should yield what file systems are mounted, what fs they are and where they are mounted. So to format your sda1, you would 'mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1'. whether this works the same way in android its hard to say. good luck!
its actually ext 3, you can check this by running the a2sd check in terminal... pretty sure their is no way for ext 4 as of right now.
i did the a2sd using hero_overs rom and method but im not sure if it worked properly.. can anyone plz tell me how i can confirm that i have apps2sd on my phone? i followed all the steps and on the last step after i tped in 'su' in terminal then typed a2sd it showed that lod.. it said things like a2sd installed or w.e. but in the end it said swap partition not found.. so idk if it worked for me..

Swap isn't the same as a2sd, it's basically a drive-space extention of ram, not sure if android can use swap like linux can?
As far as telling if it worked, "ls -l /data" (no " ") and you should see something like "app -> /system/sd" on one of the lines.

When you started the pertitioning process, you chose a 512mb partition size, then you were supposed to choose "OM" for swap size which in turn means that you arent choosing a swap size. So at the end of Terminal Elu's script run, you see'ing " swap partition not found " is normal.... I know that when I installed A2sd, my terminal said the same as yours did. But I do know that it IS working cuz I got Root Explorer and found where my apps are going cuz once you download them from the Market, they dont show up in your apps drawer until you re-boot your phone.....
I just used my g1 to change to ext4 using AR recovery ... I know some dont have router their G1's or mt3g's but it worked for me

I have been trying to for over a week in the captivate forum to get ANYONE to try and help me and so far no one will. So i'm really hoping someone will take the time, i will PAY YOU UP FRONT over paypal to help me. I am DEAD SERIOUS.
Have a captivate, but this problem is not exclusive to this phone. This error has happened on just about any/every android phone there is.
Phone was working fine, have been putting any and all custom roms on that i wanted, but went to install a new custom rom (cog4), and it fails every single time at system/xbin/su. Now ANY rom i install (custom), gives me that same error. NO CUSTOM ROM WILL INSTALL. THEY ALL FAIL. I have flashed back to stock a million times, wiped, re-partitioned the sd card, master cleared, and done all of those in every combination possible. The ONLY rom i can put on here is the one i had RIGHT before this problem started (cog3.04). Only roms that can be flashed via odin will go on my phone now. All zip files fail.
I am not a noob and know my way around a computer. I promise if someone tries to help me i will be very prompt in my responses and will try ANYTHING that you ask me to. I have been googling for over a week hours a day, i am never gonna resolve this issue unless someone with the know-how helps me Every time this topic is brought up on any forum on the internet, the problem never gets solved and it fades away....there is no answers out there. Someone who knows this stuff is my only hope
I will pay you to help me even if your troubleshooting does not work
Just out of curiosity, did you open Rom Manager once you installed it to grant it superuser rights? Also, make sure you Click the top link in Rom Manger and choose your phone. "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"
Yes tim i have done that.
I sent you a private message -- here is the same:
Have you tried adb root - and then from / rm -rf * and see if you can wipe all clean. Ofcourse if the issue is the partition, then this won't help. Also I have never tried this - as this has never been an issue for me.

I am definitely rooted and have su permissions, but it will not let me access SYSTEM from recovery or when the phone is on. Says access denied.

I read that post but the update-script in Cog4 doesn't have those lines. You could in theory edit the script so that it just has those three lines but I'm not sure that would be sufficient to install Cog4. That may be a question for DG.
Do you have the root explorer app?

Not sure as this looks like a patch and specifically asks for no wipe. Also my knowledge is limited as to what harm you can do that will make the phone unusable -- BUT you are already into that realm . Perhaps someone with deeper specific experience can answer this????
Open Root Explorer and remount R/W. Switch to the system partition and look at the permissions on bin and xbin. They should both be rwxr-xr-x

using adb remount will set the /system partition as read/write. This may help.

If it doesn't install, try installing Terminal Emulator from the Market
Ok so inside of the system folder they both have the permissions set to what you wrote.... .
There is only a bin in the folder right before the system folder...should there be an xbin there too?

do you use app2ext/app2sd? if im not wrong they just link the apk to the sd card i think (not 100% sure) but i use link2sd to link nearly all my apps' apk, dalvik cache and library (the library of some games are quite big: eg: angrybirds = around 4mb)
hope that helps! btw are u using any of the ROMs posted here or the cincinatti bell froyo?
He is using the CBW 2.2 version b/c of the Ultimobile tag he put there.
Did you keep Root or give it back per CBW directions? If so install a terminal from the market and type this:
su [hit enter]
busybox df -h space between x and d and f and -
**it will tell you your partitions.**
Picture have nothing to do with internal space other than if you have scanned your media over and over, there will be double data in there. See here about half way down http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1211774 section labeled media.
If you are using native app2sd then your partition read out from above will look huge if you have a bunch of apps on there. If you are using app2ext, then it won't look so long and drug out.

I'm using Voice Recorder when I'm on stock to record song ideas and I keep them on my SD card so I don't lose them through my ROM experiments.
But when I'm on CM I can't access the SD card. I get this error "No access - Please choose another folder".
I gave it all the permissions I could but I still get the error.
How can I get this to work?
Thanks!

Before can you check you permission file ?
If a line of code is missing SDcard fix for KK can solve you problem, but don't forget to do a backup of your file :silly:
(same if SDcard do it too)
Often this line of code seem like
<group gid="media_rw" />
in
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >

You aren't understanding. To simplify this for you, do a google search for:

That was the whole point of putting it in quotation marks the first time I mentioned it.
That should give you many different links to go through with various methods. Find the various methods of fixing this for KitKat and find one that works for you.

In my mind i think it's better to wait someone with Best knowledge than me on Cm, longtime i'm not on.
Maybe can you send the list of folder of root directory....
Or try reboot on your cwm, twrp...if you have something like
Advanced option > fix permission...
But i prefer said you, if you aren't sure what you are doing, don't try or expect someone more competent than me.

Try XternalSD or Marshmallow SD fix. They're both xposed modules so you'll need to install the xposed framework first.
