I am using stock rom on rooted htc explorer, I tried installing a2sd on it through guide on Darktremor official facebook page but i always get an error meaning I'm not able to install it.
My sd card is ext3 partitioned. I tried installing beta02, using gingerbread. Can anyone tell me how do I install it?
i dont think it will work on stock rom because stock rom doesn't support init.rc script.
may developers can help you in this case

to run a2sd u need 2 things
1.Init.d and a2sd supported kernel
2.app2sd scripts
Instal busybox first.. then it will work!!
I'm trying to figure this out at the moment too. I think from what I can gather what you need to do is install a custom kernel. As I understand it, most of the Explorer custom kernels should work (although not the ones for the CM ROMs etc.). Something like Cranium or Titanium should do the job.
After installing that, it should be relatively straightforward, provided you haven't already got a FAT32 partition full of apps via link2SD (which I do...).
Hope you get it working, if you manage please do post back here with what you did and how it went, as I will probably be attempting this in the next week or two and would appreciate your experience.
Alright people!
Based on trial and error method:
Step by step instruction for a2SD on stock ROM
1.nandroid backup
2.backup all apps with titanium backup
3.unlink all apps if you're using link2SD and uninstall link2sd
3.1 install busbox from play store and install it.
4.backup and then format sdcard
5.partition with ext in recovery
2gb is enough
6.flash darktremors a2sd beta4 in recovery and then flash cranium kernel #2 or 800MHzkernel or kernel from ateeq ROM
7.wipe cache Dalvik cache and reboot
8.install a2sd gui
9.see if worked in gui
10.click move dalvik 2 sdext
11.wait for it
12.then move app data to sdcard with titanium backup after every app installation
13.enjoy HTC
FAQ:
1.I get "error installing from bla bla bla.zip"status 0
A:
Take the update binary from cranium kernel #2 and put it in the beta4 zip...
Just delete the update binary in beta4 and put the binary from cranium kernel zip
2.Now I get mount requires 4 args got only 3 status bla bla bla
A:
Well this time it'll be complicated..
Now open the update script with any text editor es note editor
You'll find that in beta4.zip you have mount system and then 3 parameters like "/data , etc etc," now you have to add a fourth parameter like this mount("yaffs2", "MTD", "system", "/system"); and the same way for data
If you're crazy enough, all you have to do is just copy and paste all the files in the beta4.zip in it's respective location and then give it permissions 777 (use terminal and es explorer)
And voila your zip finally installs!
That's it people!
If you don't understand anything mentioned here,google it search and search in xda until you find it.
All I can say is that it can be done and actually I'm sending this post from such a dt a2sd enabled stock ROM with 401apps in total!
Anyway all the best

But I have 593MB of linked apps...How can I unlink them into about 18MB of free space on internal memory?
Also out of curiosity, which specific kernel do you use?
Thanks for your list of steps though, should prove quite helpful if I do finally get round to doing this.
EDIT: I am starting the process. I have made a nandroid backup and Titanium Backup of all apps + data. I have also uninstalled almost all my linked apps, moved a few to internal. Hopefully in the next few days I will be able to get DT apps2SD fully functional and then restore the Titanium Backup. I shall probably use cranium #2 kernel, is this the best option?
EDIT: Why do you recommend #2 and not #3? Is #3 buggy?

Yes #3 has a major bug..
Delete all apps except essentials..after all you have titanium backup
I'd prefer the 800kernel posted by akya22 but it causes random reboots on my phone.(it might not on other phones though)

Excellent, thank you. I will probably try this next weekend, I really need my phone during the week and can't afford to risk messing it up, but next weekend I should have time to fix it if I encounter a problem.

Wiping data in some stock roms will end up in a stuck HTC logo
Just backup your fonts folder in data and after wiping data put it back in the data using aroma

Just want to say that I have installed Cranium #2 and DT apps2SD script now, and things seem to working OK. I am in the process of restoring all my apps with Titanium (I sprung for the Pro version, so I could batch restore without clicking "Install" hundreds of times, if anyone else is doing this, I advise doing likewise), currently have about 53MB of free space (I think I maybe need to move data separately or something? I did have 82MB free earlier). But all in all, it seems reasonably successful
Thanks again ptcpayne for your assistance.

Glad to hear it...
You need to move app data to sdcard with titanium backup-first move app data of 1 app and then you can batch move...
Btw,if someone is so poor enough,know that you can batch restore apps with free version of ROM toolbox lite and batch restore data with titanium backup

@ sifjar can you tell if you can extract apps from nandroid backup with titanium pro?

I ended up opening terminal emulator and typing "a2sd datasd", which did the job just fine. Plus this way I believe it should automatically be done for all future apps.
As for extracting apps from nandroid: Yes, it would appear so.

I tried it...moving data back and forth but sometimes large cups of data are lost..including google accounts..but only during the moving process..
..also, I would like some special data to remain in internal memory like contacts....

I am yet to find any app with data missing, but I haven't run all apps yet since doing this I don't think. The important ones are all fine though.
And I find contacts to be fine from SD.

Hey,
I have a strange but big problem..
Yesterday I installed Sakindias CMOD10 beta 6 (before I had beta 4). The install went well and after installing Gaaps, I wanted to install Mount2sd (the flashable version)
Now the problems started. I'll make a log of my actions:
- wipe/format factory reset
- wipe Dalvik
- install ROM (beta6)
- install GAAPS(superstripped)
- boot
- flash M2SD
- boot
- reboot (just to be sure...)
- ... this took long and it was late, so I thought.. go to sleep and charge the battery, so I plugged it in and expected it to just reboot normally since I didn't congifure m2sd at all
This morning I noticed it is still stucked in the Cyagoned boot screen..
Removed battery to reboot....but then.. NOTHING
IT DOES NOT START UP
no HTC logo, no LEDs... does not respond at all
Somebody a good solution to solve this? Or is it really trashed? If so... what happened?
There is a little bit progress:
I plugged the charge cable in after a while and now it has the "charge-battery screen" where it says that the battery is 0%....
pretty strange no? Since it was plugged in all night and the screen was still on this morning.
Anybody a idea what happened?
May be charger switch was off
Anyway, after charging Flash beta6 and boot, then gapp ,then boot and then m2sd .
Keep a watch on your internal memory every time

thanks for the tip!
what about the long booting? I used at M2SD with Rmount and data enabled in beta4. That worked perfect and fast, should be the same for beta 6 right?
Ungaze is the best and simplest way for using a script.Just download the .zip file of ungaze,extract it in your SD card and than transfer it via root explorer to your system and reboot.There is a complete guide in the forum just follow it.I am using Ungaze and am not facing a single problem.

Here's a theory
Effective from beta6,sakindia123 has made it that the system apps dalvik should not stay on /cache, but on /data /dalvik cache ~reducing your effective free space from beta 4 to beta 6 by about 80 MB.
Something extra has occupied your /data creating no space ~that's the theory
Now, if you have flashed any installed apps(like titanium backup through a flashable zip ) before ,that would clearly explain, why there wasn't enough space in data. But, if you haven't,it could be a case of burnt nand already eating up your remaining free space in your /data.
Or it's just mount2SD messing things up ~when there isn't enough free space
Other than that, my theory could be way off your real problemo
Use adb and Take a log and see to know your real problem.
In whichever case, I recommend you use the play store version of mount2SD ,it has various fixes and protection against such things.

I didn't even configure m2sd.. would that already fill up all the free space?
And about the burnt nand: I never used any OC sscripts or kernels.. that would make it unlikely right?

I used the app-version on beta4, but there it gave some stranges errors, like fc when opening the dev. settings screen...
I thought that the flashaple m2sd was the golden standard.. what do you recommend with beta6?

Though default is 600,
You do realize that beta6 comes with overclocked kernel and you kept it running whole night.
I still recommend mount2SD play version with kernel 2.6. But if you're comfortable with scripts, keep it.

thnx for your help..
I wanted to switch to beta6 in the hope that the wifi toggle would be fixed.. (I use that realy often)
however, I'm gonna try beta6 with the mount2sd app.. otherwise I'll just go back to beta4, worked well for me except the wifi toggle
Maybe you can tell me your configuration? beta6? which script to increase memory?
I don't think Wi-Fi toggle is fixed.
But I don't know for sure, since I don't use Wi-Fi.

Wi-Fi toggle is working in Mini CM10's latest version.It is smooth and stable as well...if you use Wi-fi on daily basis,I would recommend Mini CM10 ROM.

I know I'm getting off-topic, but I tried the minicm10(v4) but it didn't really work out...
I noticed that the free internal memory is quite low after flashing (as fas as I know because sakindia put the dalvik cache on the internal.. right?) 150mb available, 40mb apps, 38mb free..
but my main problem is that I can't flash the super stripped gapps?!
I just did a clean install of the minicm10 rom(after factory reset & dalvik wipe) and installed the gapps (given in the thread).. but they don't show up after reboot.. :S
I haven't installed any memory scripts or whatever ....
edit: Now I tried my previous rom version (cmod10 beta 4), memory looks normal (150mb total, apps 40mb, free 90mb), but also here the gapps don't show up!
Any suggestions?? really appreciate your help!!

to late...I just started to format the SD-card and do a complete clean install of the minimod.. if the problem stays, I'll make the screen shot!
I think I'll try minimodV3, since it doesn't has the OC kernel and as far as I know is the dalvik cache not moved.
Or do you have another tip for a nice stable combination of ROM + increased memory?
You can use the configurable version and type "m2sd cmdalvik enable" after "m2sd rmount enable" in terminal emulator for a ROM in which dalvik cache is stored in /data

Nope.. I'm not a all Rom flasher. I only Flash cm main lined ones. Right now,I'm using cm10 beta 5 with video fix and kernel 2.6 and mount2SD play version(so, technically I recommend it )
Good luck, if you haven't burned it. ?.:thumbup::thumbup:

I flashed again V4 of minicmod.. but the Gapps still don't install :S I really don't know what to do next!
I haven't installed any other scripts.
i have installed Reolt JB 4.2.2 rom in my device , does anyone have idea how to increase internal memory on it
I haven't tried this rom yet but if you search through it's thread you'll see that one user reports that mounts2sd works fine with this rom and another having problems. I think the best thing would be to try it for yourself and report back. Guide for the script can be found here
its not working
i have tried it but it keeps crishing gapps everytime during boot
Have you tried disabling safe mode and reverse mount? I'm sorry but other than that I'm afraid I don't have any other suggestions except trying a different script
ya i have found some othet script

ya u can use m2sd script. but its wont work in sense 4 roms...
internal memory increasing app
use s2e app
it works on 4.2.2 rom very well
Is this a normal thing, that after installing 5.1 I have no free space, I found this the case after attempting to install both xposed for 5.1 and trying to install busybox. Both fail.
Other then uninstalling applications, is there a way to free up space in /system?

No. System partition is full and that's it. System partition is 1.05 GB and system.img of 5.1 simply take all of that space.

You mean the system partition? You can know that by downloading "Disk Partition" App.But why risking all of this when you can flash a strimmed down(pico/nano) version of Gapps then later install additional Gapps as you like.Moreover stock Cos 13.1.x comes with full Gapps.And it is nothing but a bloatware and always remember bloatware=degradation of device

Just go ahead and make a thread about the guide in General to share your knowledge in the community.Im sure people will find it useful.Also it will be new as I haven't saw any of these types of guides around.
I tried flashing the stock gapps to install stock google apps like dialer and message apps. And I did it, i just opened the stock gapps.zip with file explorer, and deleted some google apps which i didnot need. And flashed that gapps, and everything is fine now. Custom rom with stock gapps.
