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.

Hey all,
I know I just put up my tutorial on how to do this but hopefully this will make things easier for everyone. I'd still suggest doing a nandroid backup first just to make sure but I tested this on my phone so it should work. Just run the app and if this is the first time moving your apps to your sd card(and you want to keep the ones you have) leave the checkbox checked. Otherwise uncheck it. Then just press the buttons that correspond to what you want to do. Enjoy
In order to use this you MUST:
1: Have an apps-to-sd ROM
2: Have your sd card partitioned correctly with FAT32 first and ext2 second.
3: Have busybox already installed to /system/xbin
NOTE: I'll try to help as much as I can but I can't take responsibility for anything this does to your phone. I'm pretty sure nothing bad will happen and nothing irreparable can happen but gotta say these things just to be sure anytime I'm messing with root permissions.
ANOTHER NOTE: I'll put this up in the market for $1. It'll remain free here but people can donate to me that way.
YET ANOTHER NOTE: I've managed to get a new method working that's a lot more stable and flexible. I will keep this thread here but won't be maintaining it.
EDIT: Moving data is too unstable, I've removed the option. It doesn't force close anymore when you don't have the setup right, it just gives an error and wont let you do anything, so that's better.
Tried it this morning and worked great. You might add a pop up at the end of moving apps to restart the device. When less experienced people use it, they won't know to do that I'm afraid.
the app sends me into abootloop at the htc screen

OH SHOOT!!! I fixed this problem on the market one but forgot to put it back up on here. Umm... for now no1 should use the one posted here, until I can get home and post the updated one. OR if you still want to fix this and don't much just a bit of fiddling in the recovery terminal, after moving apps to sd, restart in recovery mode and do this:
Code:
mount data
ln -s /system/sd/app /data/app
For anyone who cares about such things, the problem is that it deletes the /data/app folder and then makes a symlink, which sounds ok, except that every super user command has to be run through the whitelist app... which no longer exists. So it's not able to set up the link and all hell breaks loose.
i did use the 1 from here
it says ln: /data/app: file exists
if i already had apps2sd, tried to upgrade my phone from 5.0 to 5.01G, so I wiped...then data.img wouldn't flash over...if i do this, will my apps show up again?

ya it's the one from here that's broken, sorry. If you haven't already flashed back and everything(still have the boot loop) then you can use the code I posted and it should fix it. I'll post the updated version tonight when I get back home.

Yes, just uncheck the checkbox. But you might want to read the note that I just posted, there's a known problem with it that has a fix but requires going into the recovery terminal. I'll post the updated version of this app that doesn't have that bug tonight.

Not really,,
According to the like 6th post or something its states this app wont work if you download it from here, but if you were to get it through the market....
Bob should now be your uncle
if you give him some time as clearly posted again, he will fix the app from the first post and replace it later on

you had the "stale NFS handle" right? I'm not really sure what's going on but something in your phone's file system sounds like it went screwy. Maybe someone like JF or LucidREM could help? Your problem goes way over my head and I'm guessing the same is true of a lot of people on here unfortunately.
its cool imma jus stay with apps n caches to sd...n kep dalvik on the fone..i got passed the nfs error and get stuck at tmo g1 screen maybe ill try again l8ter
jf rom
Ok question I know it says apps to sd rom is needed does this mean only haykuro roms? I have a jfrc33 1.42 and I could do apps to sd using this rom (planning on doing it tonight my 8gig class 6 card arrived) so my question is can I just use this app or do I need to do all the steps manually

It should work on any apps to sd ROM. This includes LucidREM's modified JF ROMs. If you're gonna be manually changing it into an apps to sd, then I would think it would work but can't promise it. I wasn't able to figure that out when I tried so I'm not 100% sure that they work the same but I would imagine they would. Again, though, the one posted here has that known bug which will be fixed after I get home from work.
Short answer(s):
Haykuro's ROM: definitely works
LucidREM ROM: Don't have it to test it but almost assuredly works
Self-modified: probably works?
Sounds good I wasn't doing it till later tonight anyways (stuck at work also) also is it still a good idea to keep ext2 parititon less then 2gb like lucid reported on his tutorial

Probably, I haven't tried anything bigger... and seriously, you'd need a crazy amount of apps to fill up even 1GB...

The .odex files are missing from /system/app. This means that the .dex files are created in /data/dalvik-cache when the phone boots. If you run
Code:
du -h /data
you'll see that the dalvik-cache folder takes about 30 MB space.
Hope this explanation helps.
Damn
So does that mean have to keep the pavlik folder? or is there a way to remove it without vaporizing the OS?
Thanks for the quick response by the way
5.0.2Hr2
I seemed to get 5.0.2 installed fine, but some of the text is displaying in funny characters? Any ideas?
hmmmmm
not sure. Maybe a quick wipe, reroot and install? Im not exactly sure waht u shud do. I had jf rc33 running on my g1, then i downloaded the 5.0.2 h rom and renamed to update.zip and flashed the update. Maybe restart it a few times. Also i think theres a thread somewhere saying theres a side update that cancels out chinese characters or something like that

Can't do much. That folder is needed for the phone to run.
One option is to move it to sd card.
Read this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=504235
it's default fallback font's problem. you can get the original (DroidSansFallback.ttf) from a jf build and push it to /system/fonts (you probably won't have enough space to do so though)
the new build is so big that the original system partition cannot hold it anymore, so the haykuro decided to delete many things to save place, including the .odex files and the full version of the fallback font.
Do I HAVE to do a wipe before flashing the Haykuro ROM?
I'd prefer to keep all my data and apps.
5.0.2H bluetooth
Hey all everything seems to be working fine with 5.0.2H on G1, however bluetooth is still a little quirky. Seems to connect in stereo and headset, but no audio from bluetooth or phone.
As promised..
You need to obtain the new SPL and Radio first PRIOR to installing this ROM. Follow this post.
Installation:
1. Download http://www.droiddeveloper.com/hrbuilds/app_s.zip
2. extract "app_s" into your sdcard's ext2 partition.
3. Download http://www.droiddeveloper.com/hrbuilds/hero-signed.zip
4. Place on regular sd card.
5. Reboot into recovery, wipe and flash.
6. Enjoy.
Only thing that shouldn't work at the moment is bluetooth and some minor features.. besides that you have a fully functional hero rom.
enjoy guys..
Phuck the leakers, and there supporters.
EDIT: as far as the bluetooth problem goes, i haven't played with a fix just yet.. i've spent this free time since i've quit to catch up on homework guys.
this is not me coming back.... this is just to clear my conscience, and a big "Phuck YOU" to the leakers
EDIT2: it's using ext2 instead of ext3 because, again, i haven't worked on the rom since i've quit..
for those of you that don't know how to place app_s into sd card do this:
Code:
adb push app_s /system/sd/app_s
enjoy.
EDIT3: /system/app wouldn't fit.. and if i did /data/app_s like before, it wouldn't give you any space in /data this is why i did it this way.
and yes.. this has Rosie.

How you put App_s into the ext2 partition
THE HERO HAS RISSEN! But really,thanks.
EDIT:how do I put the app_s onto a ext2 partion via windows? I lost my linux live cd.
wich one do we download 1 or 3 ?
and thanks alot haykuro much love dawg thanks again
I dont use Apps2SD so can i just add the app_s back to the data folder and resign?
F!! Why does it have to be on an ext2? I cant get the permissions yo ork on my sdcard! Is there a way to avoid this?
And ps. Good god thank you!
If you dont, then wait for someone else to say how. This isn't a tech. It's apps2sd method or none right now.
@justanothercrowd no, this requires apps2sd because its so large.
@ynghova187 and dutman yes
So how would I go about on doing step 3? Srry I just unrooted my phone because it was randomly shutting off, and now I see this, and I want to root. lol.

Step 3 is simply downloading a file. Is that really what you need help with?
if i dont have apps to sd what links can i download any help i never used apps to sd
This would be the perfect time for the few of us that still haven't been using apps2sd
nice that this has rosie.
Which tut would is the most widely used and most compatible method

I can't help you with ADB, but if you are running a linux distribution, load GPartEd and you can format your card (if you havent already) and place it on the ext2 partition.
Ok, I'm a total novice.
I have G1 that I just put 5.0.8 on.
It's running pretty well, but there are apps I want to get rid of.
Specifically, the News & Weather app (and widget) & the generic email app.
I'm trying to free up some space.
I went to Cyanogen's wiki page about this but I can't make heads or tales of it.
ANy help would be appreciated.
Maybe im wrong but i dont think you can delete the ROM's pre-installed apps once its installed.
You can remove them before flashing the rom but this can to stop it from working depending what apps you remove. (i seem to have had problems removing the facebook app and the rom wouldnt boot :/)
If you want more space, just partition your SD card with a few hundred MB.
You've already managed to get 5.0.8 on there, so this is just a few extra steps-- just remember to back up your SD card contents to a folder on your computer and restore the contents once you're done, 'cause this will wipe your card, but it's super easy.
Then you have more space for apps!
Just go to the Apps2SD page on wiki.cyanogenmod.com and then use the instructions "via Amon_RA recovery" which I think is the simplest.
i thought the latest CM had apps2sd already..

Yes I did that. I have 457 mbs available for apps etc. But I want to remove the apps that came preinstalled in the rom and I can't make heads or tailes of the BareBones wiki. I don't know what to enter into the terminal.

This video made it more clear.
When I type mount -o rw,remount /system, I get
(Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory)
I know this means that I'm not doing something right?
but then I rm -f /system/"file name" and I get
(rm failed for -f, Read only file system)
can anyone help with why the moount/remount isnt working?
I've tried this both on the phone, and running in an adb shell on my mac.
Cheers
I think someone mentioned this in an earlier post but you can delete them from the ROM before you flash it. Just use 7zip to open archive and delete from there.

Hi All, doclenny here, I'm new to the site and have rooted an AT&T Aria Android. I was looking at the different roms and the one that I think I need is R008 to allow apps to sd function. My questions are: Is this an appropriate rom? Where and how do I download it? I've looked around the site and can't seem to find a space to download other signed.zip files other than the R012 with a link. I've already installed the R012 but this doesn't seem to allow for app to sd with the 2.1 version and I'd really like to maintain the rooted phone. Thanks In Advance for Your Help!

I do have one other question You may be able to answer. I'm currently working with linux-ubuntu tools to learn the use of the terminal window. I've attempted to use the terminal window to delete pre installed programs like peep and stocks but when I follow the process it says a read only file which I understand requires a permission change. when attempting to do that it tells me no such file or directory with the "chmod 0777 dwrxwrxwrx /?file name.
