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

a2sd cachesd
Want to Move Dalvik cache files to Internal Storage:
Code:

I've got link2sd going right now with ext3 partition, if I just uninstall that can I just install this and all will be the same or do I have to install all my apps again?
Edit: nevermind it all works perfectly didn't need to reinstall any apps right on thanks for this

how have you done the conversion from link2sd to apps2sd? simply uninstall link2sd,then installing apps2sd? i`m also on link2sd now and wanna try this solution here..

After this fail i formatted my sdhc 8gb card with fat32 ..created an ext3 with 2gb and a 128MB Swap, installed a2sd via recovery no error, rebooted device and connected it to adb .. typed in the commends and my phone rebooted automaticly
But how can i see that i have a2sd in application - manage application i see that i have again 258MB of free memory????
Please Help
And thanks for this awesome tweak
edit / and i dont get a blackscreen after se logo it starts normally
I didn't get black screen either just use root explorer or something similar and you can see everything in the sd-ext folder

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?
Sent from my R800a using XDA App
Yes but my error was that i took the EXT3 Partition as Logical and not as Primary,
so actually the result is, it is all working now!!
Big thanks for this great Tutorial..

Well cachesd is moving the dalvik-cache to sd-ext so that was taking up all of the space ;p sorry I had to leave it up to you... Not good at this stuff lol.. Merry Christmas!

Hello to all. It is time to publish my app2sd Scripts because many people wants them
What is App2sd?
App2sd is a utility which automatically moves some/all your data partition to your ext sd partition. So, your internal space is partially/not used
Which app2sd version should i choose?
As you can see, there are 3 versions: App2sd-v1, App2sd-v2 & App2sd-v3.
Differences in versions
App2sd-v1: It is the normal app2sd script. This script moves your /data/app/ & /data/log/ to your sdcard's ext partition. It is very fast but your real internal space will be full if you install many apps. This version is not recommended.
App2sd-v2: It is an enchanced version of app2sd, which moves /data/app/, /data/log/ & /data/dalvik-cache/ to your sdcard's ext partition. It is fast and you can install many apps until your internal memory reaches 0mb.. Is is recommended for sdcards class2 - class4.
App2sd-v3: It is an ultra enchanced version of app2sd, which is like data2sd, but you won't have so many lag like data2sd. App2sd-v3 moves /data/app/, /data/log/, /data/dalvik-cache/ & /data/data/ to your sdcard's ext partition. Your internal memory won't be used unless you do install so many apps and your sdcard's partition get full! SDcard class6+ is highly recommended!
Conlusion: If you have class2 or class4 sdcard use App2sd-v2. If you have class6 sdcard use App2sd-v3.
Requirements
You must have a kernel which supports init.d & ext4, i recommend fugumod, it is the best. And you must have an ext partition in your sdcard. Ext4 is recommended. And last thing... You need android 2.2.
How do i check my sdcard's class?
Remove your sdcard from your phone and check if you see a circle with a number. If your dont see anything, you may have a class2 sdcard.
How to partition my sdcard?
Download MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition 6.0. But make a backup before
How to install the script?
Take a backup with titanium. Download it from attachments and decompress it to your sd. You can either adb push this script in /system/etc/init.d/ or copy it with root eplorer to /system/etc/init.d/. Type the commands:
adb shell (adb only)
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl6 /system
chmod 777 /system/etc/init.d/*
chown 0.0 /system/etc/init.d/*
Then reboot in recovery and do a wipe data/factory reset. All your data will be wiped. From now on some/all of your data (depends on the script version) will be moved to your sd automatically. Before you restore your apps with titanium, go in titanium preferences and select to force restore apps to internal memory. Don't move apps to external!!
Why i see only 200mb as internal?
App2sd is invisible You can check your sdcard's ext partition in Titanium Backup.
-Tip
For speeding up your sdcard reading speed you can install this script too. This will maybe cause lag to your videos...
Give me feedback if you use the script. Tell me which version you installed and what type sdclass you have
How do do you check what SD class you have?

I installed this and have all apps set. I thought this would save more internal space than just installing to sd? I have not gained any space with this??? I do however notice they load faster at boot though. am I incorrect in thinking it would gain me internal storage?
thanks
Sent from my VM670 using Bumblebee rom and Tapatalk
You need to manually move whatever your want to SD. (In settings you can choose apps, dalvik cache and libs; do not bother with libs, they will be back to /system after reboot). Anything already on SD (the native way, in android_secure on FAT) needs to be moved back to phone first.
N.B. You need a second partition for this on your SD card, in case you have not done it, it will not work at all
I moved everything back to phone then did the link2sd with libs and see no difference in space left
Sent from my VM670 using Tapatalk
is there a way to delete the lib file I did link? very confused why internal storage stayed the same?
Sent from my VM670 using Tapatalk
What lib file? Yeah, you are very confused really.
because you said not to bother with linking the libs..
my real question is this...
should link2sd save more internal space than just moving all apps to sd? if so.. mine did not..
thanks for the help
Sent from my VM670 using Tapatalk
Dunno how are you checking the saved/free space, if it is some widget then I would suggest to reboot the phone.
Hi! I'm on LG Optimus One and Gingerbread-2.3.4-rc4.1 /CM7 rom. My SD has one 512 MB ext3 partition and one 3,5 GB fat32 partition, class 4. When I run link2sd and choose ext3 (or other) type file system I receive this error:
Mount script error
Mount script cannot be created.
mount: mounting/dev/block/void/179:2 on /data/sdext2 failed: Device or resource busy.
I have reformatted the SD and reinstalled the rom more times but the error persists...
Please, Doktornotor, can you help me to found the culprit?
try to partition your sd card via adb. idk why, but when i tried to partition via clockwork, i had sd-ext as read-only. u can check if link2sd is mounting ok in shell (comand: mount) and look for /dev/block/void/179:2 on /data/sdext2 line . also check if ext partition is ro or wr.
Thanks for the hints! After many tries formatting the sd by linux or windows I have reached a conclusion: my SD is faulty and I will retry tomorrow (I hope) with a new one. See you!
Hi! After many tries I've changed my choices, uninstalled link2sd, uninstalled the ROM, keeping my good old SD.
Installed CM 7.1-RC0 6.5.5 by Mik_os, installed DT a2sd, et voila all runs flawlessly... seems like a miracle!
Hi there first of all sorry for my wrong section and double post but in general forum nobody helped me.
My problem is:i partitionate my 4gb sd card via cwm recovery(512 ext-256swap).
Format cache partiotions.(cwm)
Format sd card.(cwm)
After that i create a fs.data2sd with mmcblk0p2 insde in sdcard/android/data/g3mod.
I install link2sd application but when i start it it tell me that my ext is not mounter.
In Cwm recovery when i press mount sd-ext it gave me an error(i think is:``the file exists already`` or something like this).
In settings/storage my phone tell me i have a 3gb card...so i think partition is done succefully..
So can someone explain what i need to do further.
Thanks alot for you help and i am glad to be member of Xda!
edit:now my sd card is stucked at 3gb how can i extend it back to 4gb?
mod Edit : thread CLOSED u cant do a dual post u need to be patient when posting
use the general or the Q&A(this is a stiky)
Just unmount your card from SdCard and Internal space menu and then format it.
or else you can also format it from CWM recovery.

First of all Mini partition is basically used to convert partition...
I'll tell you my way by which I create partition.
1. Boot into Recovery->advanced->partition SD card.
2.ext->256, swap-> 128 or 64.
3. Wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache....reboot.
4. phone will take 10 to 15 min.
This trick work on kyrillos 7, if you are on any other ROM like sumee 4 then just cope the fs.convert file in fugumod folder on sd card.
I tested this on both roms....you can check the app2sd partition on titanium back up as well as in internal memory in settings.
That's it man....enjoy.

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

Next it still say's the internal memory is full, 1mb free and m2sd still showing errors with no data moved to the sd-ext. I tried a 4gig sd card with a 1 gig ext3 partition but still the same problem.

I wouldn't know how to, I just trust the developer and since the rom does everything I wouldn't know where to look. the last time I tried editing a rom zip, it wouldn't install because it didn't match the original signature of the zip file. Also, because I am a new forum user, I can't contact the developer directly for some help.
Make 1 gb partition(Enough)! As the script uses 100mb of internal for every 500mb sd-ext....so making 3gb is useless.
Plus while configuring the app disable safe mode and see if that helps

Nope, didn't work, wiped the SD card and made a 1gig ext3 partition, also disabled safe-mode as suggested, still loads EVERYTHING to internal memory with 1mb left, it also comes up with a busybox error and a script error on first boot. I went into M2SD and set apps, data and delvik to use the sd-ext partiotn and waited, nothing, so rebooted the phone, nothing. All with the same message of 'The current status does not match your settings for this option' under Applications, Data and Delvik Cache, also 'Could not set the sdcard readahead' which is set to 512 as default.

I installed explorerman's rom xenon system http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2048312 which installs great but after install and rebooting several times I still have an internal storage issue. I have a 32gig SD partitioned with a 4gig ext3 partition, when the rom boots I get an error about internal storage then I get an error about the m2sd app saying the script is either missing or out of date. I follow the instructions and update through m2sd then, after a few minutes reboot the phone. Next it still say's the internal memory is full, 1mb free and m2sd still showing errors with no data moved to the sd-ext. I tried a 4gig sd card with a 1 gig ext3 partition but still the same problem.
I am doing as said and wiping dalvik cache etc. I have a backup of the ONLY rom that works which is based on android 4.03 but I want the original setup back on the phone so any help needed and please, no stupid comments or immature comments as I have seen from some posts here. i'm not a child but at the same time I am not a tech-head, thanks.

Why you don't install cm10.1 beta 3. Its great and cool and stable to. Based on 4.2.2. Android os install link2sd and make both partition of fat32 by mini tool and don I have this problems when install the ROM you have then after I do this I have 8 GB SD card 1 GB fat 32 partition and other for data. Alls going good smooth stable. And a have 43 app installed on my pico and remaining internal memory showing 87 mb my good suggestion is to change ROM .
And give a time to the developers of (explorerman's rom xenon system) to make the ROM best
sent from my HTC explorer having ROM cm10.1 beta 3.
using xda app the best developers site for android :thumbup:

Did all that, I always do a complete clean of the phone before I try anything but still not working. I think, because it was a T Mobile HTC Explorer rather than a generic one that there is something hard coded into it. I see through the forums so many people having no problems at all but they have generic phones rather than unlocked phones from service providers. I am not a programmer so this is just guess work and from experience, I can't even restore the phone using an RUU because it will only accept a T-Mob one. If there a way to replace the entire software on the phone then I would but it's programmed into the chips at factory level (low level) since the phone was produced by HTC for T-Mobile. If the phone had been bought directly from HTC then there would be less problems. So far, I haven't found a single rom that doesn't have some kind of problem with this phone.
Thanks for all the suggestions but I'm guessing it's time to 'pick a window' for it and just save up for a more modern phone than trying to keep this HTC Pensioner going.
