Apps to SD card app

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
ps
i tried from fresh wipe and sd

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...

Suggestions related Dalvik Cache

Guys plz tell me that what kind of cache is dalvik cache...???
when to clean it....does it clears much internal space....can i clear it when i am having low phone space...!!!
coz once i have cleared it when i was having low memory nd had problems wid all other apps and all stops working one after another and had to flash my phone...??
you help will be appreciated...!!

Please use smaller regular typeface in your posts. If you want to highlight a particular word or phrase fine, but when the whole post is in large, italicized, colorful words, it's difficult to read. Thanks for your cooperation.

A simple search is enough
But these are caches of apps which runs in virtual machine. If you clear them app will not work till next reboot, sometimes after uninstalling apps dalvik cache are not deleted which will keep some of your free space, here you can use thw clean up dalvik cache feature of the titanium backup, it will search for the unneeded dalvik cache and will delete it for you

Everything related to get more internal space has been covered in the post
" how to get more internal space on galaxy fit" in xda forum itself
Plaza refer that. !!

dalvik cache is a program cache area for the program dalvik. Dalvik is a java based virtual machine that is the bases for running your programs (the ones that have the .apk extension). In order to make access times faster (because there's not JIT (just in time) compiler installed by default), the dalvik-cache is the result of dalvik doing a optimization of the running program. Sounds confusing. It's similar to the prefetch files in Windows.

About mount2sd and its commands

So I decided to try mount2sd and flashed it on latest aokp based Xperia Rom!! I ran the commands that were given in the tutorial after disabling safe mode...
After restoring my titanium backup I try to install any app from play store it gives an error of low memory... Please help me our in this..
Also I wanted to know what exactly the commands mean? Why do we include disable in front of those commands..for example "m2sd apps disable" .. What does this mean?? this disable the moving of apps?? And what does rmount mean..?
Thanx for your time!

Well rmount is reverse mounting command, hence we use disable instead of enable. Reverse mounting has the benefits of lesser memory errors..
And I'm not sure if mount2sd is working in Xperia AOKP. Try ungaze script as mentioned in the thread. Few users also mentioned int2ext script working..
Hit thanks if I helped.

need help for Low internal memory fix...

Does anyone have ANY suggestions on how to fix the low internal memory on this phone ( Samsung Galaxy s 4g T959v- rooted- running Vallhallah Final). It won't let me download any apps.. There is room on the phone. I've moved most apps onto my SD card. It closes apps.. Becoming a GREAT pain.
I saw on a post in a different forum the (i1900).. said that this "fix" would help with the problem.. DataFix_11032012.zip - [Click for QR Code] (195.4 KB, 23367 views). I'm kinda a NOOB so I don't want to flash any Zip that's incompatible and screw up my phone..
bhundven.. helped me out last week to get my phone unbricked.. when i tried to go out on my own at first..
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated..
Thank you in advance.

Well, here is the story. All of the 'Galaxy S' (aka, Galaxy S 1) devices, except a few (sgs4g, sk4g, I think there is another), come with an internal eMMC (embedded multimediacard). This is usually where they put the data partition, for instance on the i9000, vibrant, captivate, etc.
For galaxys4g, we've been getting around this issue for a while with apps2sd. I really don't install that many apps anyways, so I never really run into this problem, but for those who have, that's what they've used. Most roms provide apps2sd (or similar functionality). I think with titanium backup, you can move apps to the sdcard.

Just be careful not to put apps that are supposed to run all the time, on the SD.
Also, I think that the fascinate is the other without eMMC

No, they have a 2G eMMC. Same 512M internal storage as the other galaxy s phones.
Actually, here is a nice comparison (fascinate vs. galaxy s 4g vs. vibrant).

I moved most of my apps to my SD card.. but the problem was still there. Then I unnistalled my Rom Toolbox pro.. and THAT seemed to fix the problem.. Very ODD..
One more question if I may...
I flashed Valhallah Final on my phone.. I have A Voodoo sound app on my phone as well.. but when I clicked on it, it said that I didn't have the right kernel for it. Is it just a matter of flashing the right kernel to get the features of Voodoo sound on my phone? Or will that screw up the functionality of the rom that I already flashed?

I'd suggest flashing with cwm. Flashing the kernel won't change the rom. Except for blastoff which will change the wifi.conf.

With titanium, you can integrate those Rom updates into the Rom. That can free up a bunch too.

I guess you could backup /system before flashing the kernel, but you really only need to backup the /system/etc/wifi directory.

It deletes the old file that the update replaces. You won't have the uninstall updates in settings anymore. I (assume) that when a system Rom gets an update, the old apk gets scrunched and lingers. This option frees up that space.

Updates to system apps get put into data/app integrating updates overwrites the original app in system/app so it frees up internal memory and takes up system memory. Also integrating dalvik into rom frees up like 50-60mb of internal memory.
