[app2sd][gsm][cdma][not working]

(this is from arc forums it worked for me on my r800i so i decided to post it over here on our forums ) all credit goes to svprm, doomlord, and tkirton from this thread.
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
adb shell
a2sd cachesd
Want to Move Dalvik cache files to Internal Storage:
Code:

if that doesnt work here is a mirror: dropbox
feel free to post questions below! also the internal memory will still say 300 or however much you had before.. idk why but just look in /sd-ext using a app like root explorer. all of the applications are there!

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
Sent from my R800a using XDA App

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..

Advantage of this over Iink2sd?

Weird I have over 200 apps with this. Maybe reinstall it?

I'll try it.
Thanks for your help guys!

After a full reinstall, it doesnt work
after 47 Apps that i have installed my phone says no enough memory again -.-**
what do i wrong? ='(

I guess just go back to lind2sd if it won't work.. Are you on stock? CDMA?

so i think got it working right now!
im on .42 GSM Firmware with doomlords v8 kernel
i have installed a2sd via cwm and reinstalled it via adb, than i typed it cachesd
it works!! i ve installt over 120 apps and my phone says i have ~160MB off Free Intern Memory

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!

I recommend dont play with your sd card...just download link to sd from google playstore and simply move apps to sd as well as you can clear dalvik cache,app cache,etc with freezing app and many more features and also supported 4.1 jb roms.. heres the link
Check out "Link2SD" - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD
And if you are bored with razodroid try cm10 by yajnab...

Whatsapp Question/Space Issue

Hello,
So the Whatsapp application currently takes up about 10 MB of data on my phone. All of that seems to be on the internal memory and not on the SD card even though I've rooted the phone and moved it to the SD card. How can I reduce the application data? I don't even need whatsapp to take a backup of all my messages.
Basically, I always have only 15MB-20MB of free internal memory. How to get more? I only have Twitter and Whatsapp installed. I've rooted the device also so I can delete anything/move anything to SD Card. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Crazysah

Hey there ,
In order to solve your doubt I need a few answers :
How big is your partition ?
Which script have you used?
Which ROM are you using ?
Here are some possible solutions :
With respect to whatsapp only.. you can delete / clear all your chats from the menu.You can delete message backup by first uninstalling whatsapp deleting the message backup on your SD card ( Whatsapp folder on sd card ) .. and reinstalling whatsapp..
If you want to increase your internal memory :
I think you will have to create an SD-EXT partition.. ( assuming you dont have one cause you havent mentioned it). You will get a guide On this post. Check partitioning of SD - Card.
If you are on Stock ROM you will have to create a FAT32 partition and use Link2SD and transfer your apps to your sd partition.
If your on a custom ROM it is recommended to create an EXT partition (for eg: EXT 2,3,4 ) ... and install simple2ext or Mount2Sd or similar such apps..
Depending on how big the partition is you wont face any problems and you can install as many apps as you wish..
I hope this solved your problem.

AFAIK, Whatsapp currently does not support App2SD methods..
Means you have to keep Whatsapp in the internal memory only..
You can use some sort of script to substitute/increase internal memory, as akshat said..

I m using link2sd on cyanogen 10 by sakindia
I have linked whatsapp and it works
I have 80 mb free internal memory with 15 installed apps like Facebook temple run and subway surfer

I'm not sure how big my partition is but I have 1.8 GB total space on my SD card. At the moment, I only have 16MB free space on internal memory.
I am using stock ROM but I have rooted and installed SuperUser and Link2SD.
I just want more internal memory. Period. That's all I care about. If this means installing a custom ROM, I'll do it. If this means partitioning my SD card, I'll do it.
Just tell me which is easier and better for long term.
Thanks,
Crazysah

I would suggest you try out a custom Rom and with an ext partition it will work well. Partition Upton 2 Gb and use a script. That's what I do and have had no issues with it... Check out the sscript threads or iinstall the apps in the previous posts. I have also mentioned a guide there.. Gives you the info about partitioning..

Okay. Which custom Rom do you recommend? And should I do the partition before or after installing the custom rom?
What all do I need before installing the custom rom? Is it easy?

Anyone at all?

Sorry been a bit busy..
I recommend you install cm9 build 11 ... Its a pretty good ROM to start off with...
1 backup all your apps/ data with titanium backup or similar apps.. ( do not backup system apps and data only backup user apps )
2 download ROM from cm9 thread and copy it on to your sdcard .. ( preferably don't put it in any folder )
3 reboot into recovery ( turn off phone .. Remove battery and put it back in
4 press volume down and power simultaneously and enter bootloader
5 using power and volume rockers select and enter recovrry ..
6 using power and rockers select factory reset and then go to mounts and storage wipe cache boot data and system.. ( DO NOT WIPE YOUR SD CARD / EXTERNAL STORAGE )
7 Go back and go to advanced and wipe dalvik...
8 then click on install zip from SD card...
9 select cm9 build11 zip and flash
10 reboot and enjoy your ice cream sandwich 4.0.4

Partition your SD card after you install the custom ROM... Cm9
Copy all your files / folders from your SD card before you have to create the partition.. Otherwise you will lose all your files... I repeat you Will Lose your files on the card... Read the post I have given a link to about partitioning and how to partition..

Use pm SetInstallLocation 2
Or
pm set-install-location 2
Then you can move it to sd card

Yes I did all of this. I even partitioned my SD after installing it.
The only problem is, all the Google Apps disappeared. How do I get them back? Even the Play Store disappeared.

Help - "Insufficient Storage" Gapps store on some apps

Device - P-3113 tab 2 android 4.1.1 build UECLK7
32gb external 8gb internal
Used script to swap memory from here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1961097
All worked fine.
device memory Total 29.69gb apps 2.53gb audio 24k misc files 162mb ? Available 28.63gb
SD Card total 4.56gb Avail 2.86gb
In Apps Manager Device memory reads 1.6gb used - 3.0gb free
I can not install some apps from the GApp store "Insufficient storage available"
I can install from amazon. ( Loaded Dolphin browser ) Started ( I think ) after trying to download Google Chrome.... Failed
Using cwm, wiped davlik and main cache, checked and mounted /data, fixed permissions. rebooted.
Tried to download and install lucky patcher... no luck installing. ( will keep trying )
Nothing help so far. just trying to download and install the sixaxis cntroller app ( very small ) yet a larger file from amazon will install fine.
any ideas? Thanks to everyone in advance.
UPDATE I can install Kunundrum - game app 14mb from GApp store but still not sixaxis controller 147k insufficient storage
This is frustrating when I know I have space. Help Please

Fixed Yeah!
After several methods and hours of reading.. I finally found out what happened. When I purchased my p3113 tab I installed link2sd as I wanted to use my external memory. But after changing the setting to external storage... ( stop me if you have heard this before ) I realized that Samsung Galaxy does not support this function, So.. I deleted the app.
Little did I know that the setting in link2sd were shell commands that set environment variables in the system. so they stayed set to external even after uninstalling the app.
Installed link2sd and found the settings set to external... changed to internal. ( my new swapped external card.. see above ) and everything worked and everything began to install correctly. Hope this helps anyone with similar issues.

Thanks! I haven't had the error on my current fresh rom, but I did get the error on one of the roms I was flashing last week. I also did the same thing with app2sd, before learning it wouldn't work.
If you're hurting for space, backup everything and perform the sdcard/extsd swap, it works great with a fast class 10 card!

Ok.. I have just rooted my phone with clock work mode recovery and wiped delvik cache and this trick gave me to install a small app named sketch guru. but after that when i tried to install updates of stock app it failed due to insufficient storage. guys please help me.

Hi,
Check in folders /data/app and /system/app. If you find some *.odex file in one of these try to delete it.
This fixed a similar issue for me.
