Could somebody PLEASE give me walk through of the holy grail here? I have rooted my aria and loaded cyanogen nightlies many times, but when it comes time to format and get a2sd working on a partitioned card I fail miserably. I seem to run into issues when the guides mention to go into recovery and partition the card. I am running clockwork and can't find the right partition menu. I tried a method involving adb and could not get a file to push, downloaded darktremor and got an endless htc screen boot loop, and at this point my phone may as well be a missile to my computer screen. I am a noob, but not entirely unfamiliar, just some sort of help getting to that last screen where I see lots of phone memory and can finally lay off deleting apps to add one.
Thanks and I hope someone is out there willing to help!
Can't give you a link from here, but I can encourage you to look for a forum that discusses Ext3 partitioning using a live ubuntu cd. You may have rooted using a similar method. I'll try to remember to send you a link when I get home. Search until then. Post if you find it.

Why not just use Rom Manager to partition the card?
I tried that many times but it never worked. It always hung up on the ! triangle screen. I had no problems with the live cd method.

I did this but went with ext3. I actually practiced with an older SD card until I got it right. The order of partitions is important. Fat32, ext, then lswap. Read around about recommended sizes. For an 8GB card I went with 6.5gb/1gb/32m.

Skip swap. Should not need/use it on a 512K ram device.
Edit: I know specs say less - specs are wrong! Liberty has the same memory as the N1.
I did it as a precaution. My SD is waaaaaay oversized and figured I could afford to waste 32mb.

and I am running out of space on a 16 gb card. 12gb mp3s and 600+ pictures will do that.

thanks for this attn. i had seen posts about swap on other devices and wondered if it would help my aria. i'm glad i didn't try to set it up...
Thanks everone for responding. This is where I am with the partition. So when I put the card the phone and mount sd card it shows the same amount of memory in the phone (77.26) when I added a gig of ext2 in gparted.
Do I need to go back into gparted and charnge the ext2 to ext3? Or is this an issue where I need to change something in the phone I am missing. I did reboot after putting the card in.
You won't see any increased capacity there. What you will see after apps2sd is working is that the amount of internal used will go down. I had to reinstall apps2sd after I did the partition, even though darktremor's apps2sd came with my ROM. It defaulted to off because it saw no ext partition upon ROM installation.

So I wipe data and flash a cyanogen nightly it will automatically pick up a2sdext and show the proper storage data?
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
I haven't been in this position myself (always clean installs since using a2ext) but I believe if you have darktremor's a2sd installed and have ext on your sd card, but apps are still on the device, you can do:
su
a2sd reinstall
in the terminal app on the device and it will move all apps from device memory to the ext partition. not sure how this behaves if you have any apps on sd via the standard froyo method....
I don't have a problem wiping data, dalvik and cache since I backed up everything. Going to give it a shot here...
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
Fwiw, I have been using this method up until this release candidate. Seems broken now.
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
Ok, so I tried wiping data/cache/dalvikr then flashed cyanogen nightly 99 and it still only showed 138m internal memory. So then I tried downloading darktremor and flashing the zip from clockwork which gives me infinate htc white bootscreens. Then I tried wiping again and flashed the darktremor zip and then cyanogen 99 and the phone booted up, but when I check internal memory I am at 123m. Am I just completely missing something here?
You are likely seeing dalvik. If you have a good SD card, do su in a terminal and then a2sd cachesd. The phone will reboot.
That moves dalvik to SD as well.

Says a2sd not found. If anyone has any ideas, I am willing to start from scrap to get this running. BelacNongaw, how did you get yours running? If you don't mind I could try tracing the steps you took and that might work?
Did you type:
su

well if you want the full use of data2sd by ungaze then the first step is partition your sd card after you do that then i would suggest flashing a your rom fresh and whatever MODs you have after you have flashed all mods and your ROM {please reboot between each MOD} then finally flash ungazes data2sd if you did it right you will have a large performance boost and more space for apps for example i had a 16 gig sd card made 2560 mb partition and now after flashing data2sd i have 1.7 gigs of apps space and a quadrant score of 2300 so if you have questions then PM me

Hi all,
Currently I'm using CM7 and install ungaze data2sd on my phone. I already have ext2 file and my phone shows additional internal memory. I then install apps without any problem and once done, I try to reboot it. However, I found that those apps which installed earlier on were gone. Can anyone help me with this?
Addition, when I check the sd card, I found an d2sd folder and inside it have unknown files named error_0222120031, error_0222120039, error_0222120122 and error_0222120143. Can anyone help me with this?
missing market??
After flashing ungaze... I reboot then somehow my market app is missing but when i used the search function i can still search it and use it... Then after two reboot (not necessarily simultaneous) i got my market back... Using nightly four e 4.2 with ta.gb 1.2 kernel...

you need a freshly installed rom... do a full wipe then flash a custom rom and then flash this ungaze data2sd mod but i recommend you to use app2sd mod by darktremor that is quite stable and very easy to use

I disagree ..
My suggestions -
1) use ungaze v5 (not v2)
2) wipe dalvick cache before flashing it..
It doesn't matter whether it's Fresh rom or not..
I have used ungaze with having more than 120mb worth apps previously

V5?? How to find version 5 of Ungaze?? Do you have the link?? Because currently I'm using the v4b5.
Please help me in this issue !
i installed ungaze script to increase internal memory 190MB to 0.89GB
it worked fine.
After every reboot the internal memory get back to default state.
as stated in trouble shooting i removed my sd in recovery mode and mounted sd ext by reinserting the sd and it works like charm.
but it cant be done in normal system reboot. so anybody please help me in this issue.
Thanks in advance for your helps.

ONLY TESTED ON STOCK ROM AND DOOMKERNEL
Description:
App2sd has many advantages.App2sd is set on boot so it does not like link2sd.It will also work for Launcher,widget etc...because it set on boot.First it will move all Application from Internal Storage to EXT3.Then your Installing application will install on EXT3.So no more "Not enough space in Internal Storage." to install a apps.
Requirement:
Unlocked Bootloader
doomskernel from here for GSM
here for CDMA
Installation:
Recommended:
Note:First create a EXT2/EXT3/EXT4 partition in your sdcard using the built in sdcard partitioner from dooms kernel. or if you have windows from here
1.Download and copy to sdcard.
2.Install it via Recovery.
3.Reboot into android
4.Connect your phone to ADB and type as below:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
a2sd reinstall
Restart your device.
It will show a black screen after SE logo(Don't know why).
Remove battery and restart.
It will work.
You can see all application under /sd-ext/app.
FAQ:
Want to Move Dalvik cache files to the ext3:
Code:
adb remount

It just does not work. I have formatted my SD card with the tool posted. i have created a partition with 4.5 GB for FAT32 and a EXT3 with 2.9 GB for all via a USB card reader. My PC recognizes the SDHC card also but if I stick it in my phone it is not recognized. I get a message when I removed it.
what am I doing wrong?
Do you have the fat32 partition as the first primary partition on your card?

Yes but my error was that i took the EXT3 Partition as Logical and not as Primary,

Hi!
I've installed a custom rom with a2sd.
So I create the partition in the SD card... but I've installed less than 16 apps and the phone is already full.
Obviously I move to the SD all the apps that allow it, but it's not enough.
How can I be sure that the A2SD is working properly?
Thanks!
You can check it in terminal emulator using command ' a2sd check ' and see the output.
But there's an easier way using a2sdgui app. You can check, enable/disable a2sd, move app, etc using that gui. Just search it in the market.

Thank you for the app!
When the app starts, the main view says apps are on SD.
But I can see that I've still got 23 free MB on my phone and 472 on my SD... And evertytime I install an app my phone says I'm low on space. But I've got less than 20 apps!!

I haven't used a2sd for a while now, so i can't give you exact steps how to use it. As far as I can remember, first is to make sure you have 2nd primary partition in your sdcard formatted in ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem and your rom can access it and mount it at boot. Second is to enable a2sd and then move apps to sd.
I did it using terminal, so I didn't have experience using the gui either.
If you still have problems then I suggest visit the a2sd thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715940 . You can ask there and somebody might be able to help you
