Hi,
I have a question about the app2sd script from kyrillos13.
I have a class 10 16 gb sd card and made a 4gb ext4 partition.
I used app2sd v3 but when the phone boots, the boot sound always plays, even when I put the phone on silent or vibrate. Is there a way to fix this, without deleting/disabling the boot sound completely? I already tried factory reset twice, repartition sd, reflash rom and install app2sd again. Nothing worked.
I'm using stock JPU. I like to use stock and add tweaks and such myself
Should I use an alternative like link2sd or hybrid data2sd?
Will link2sd allow me to install as many apps as app2sd v3 and will the performance be the same?
And what about hybrid data2sd?
You can rename to disable it. I think it might work
yes, but I'd like not having to change around the file, and want it to work like expected. Possible?
Also I tried using HD2SD and moved data log app and dalvik, but I noticed there was some lag when pressing the menu button in the touchwiz launcher. Any way to fix it?

I have the 0.7 rom load with both patchs and the blue theme, I want to try out apps 2 SD i just didnt know the best route in doing so, for it to work correctly with your rom. If i use the format function in the recovery menue would it automatically save my apps on the SD and work properly or would i have to reinstall them?

(I personally don't like apps2sd but if you really have that many apps...)
Yea. Backup your sd card (it will get wiped). Boot in to recovery and create swap+ext2+fat32 and then convert ext2 to ext3 (all are options in the recovery menu). It will move everything for you.
Why don't you like apps 2 sd? I just figure if you have that you won't have worry about internal memory if you wanted to have a lot o

**My note about Apps2SD: I added support for it in this release of the rom because people who were using it in other roms that tried to install this rom were receiving errors. Here's my point of view on it.
I played with it for over 8 hours today between implementing it and then testing it to make sure this fix would work. I have personally come to not like apps2sd, but I am including it for those who use it.
The reason I don't like it is because it puts your phone at a huge risk of having problems once anything goes wrong. If you install a program that causes issues, a nandroid backup will not resolve the issue because the application is installed on your SD card not your phone. If your phone starts going crazy as reported here and here, then even just a restore possibly won't fix it. You might need to go as far as to wipe your SD card too. If you are lucky enough to have a restore fix your problems you will still need to reinstall every app, even if you didn't wipe your card. And on top of that when you try to reinstall any app it will think it's still installed, even though you restored your phone. But when you click "uninstall" it will just freeze half the time because there's nothing on the phone for it to actually install. I have also read many threads that say if you happen to boot the phone up without the SD card in then it will screw everything up.
So now maybe you are wondering why I would add Apps2SD support in this rom. In order for people who are currently using Apps2SD to upgrade to this rom I must support it or require them to do a hard reset before coming to fresh. Clearly I don't want you to have to reset so I have supported it. With that said: I personally recommend not using it. This rom will auto-use it if your SD card is formatted for it (fat32+ext2+swap partitions) but it won't use it if you are only partitioned as 1 fat32. My suggestion is to stick to the 1 partition and let your applications install on the phone. Linux is not like Windows in the sense that it will run the same whether you phone has 140 megs free of storage space or 10 megs free. So unless you plan on installing 100 apps, I don't see the practical purposes of using Apps2SD. But a lot of people like it.
Now with all of THAT said -- this rom officially has and supports Apps2SD. It is a program that I think has the possibility of being great, but has to work within the confines of the phone which means tricking Android in to thinking that the applications are installed on the phone when they aren't. That is what leads to all the problems mentioned above.

If i have apps2sd already from the previous rom i don't have to re-do it for the new one correct?
no you dont.
using apps2sd2 problems
I followed all the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5618439#post5618439 for apps2sd2 yet when I open the app, it STILL says Oops, you have to run through the tutorial to set it up. I've DONE THIS. I'm extermely frustrated. I have no idea what more to do. My sd card is partitioned correctly. I've run all the commands listed in that tutorial. PLS HELP! Also all my apps are showing in /system/sd/app AND data/app. Is this correct? Why won't Apps2sd2 work for me? I really need some troubleshooting help.
I have a rooted CMDA HTC Hero using the Fresh ROM. Also is there a way to still get Sprint TV using this ROM?
Fresh .7 doesn't support A2SD, only Fresh 1.0 & 1.1.

This is an issue that seems to be linked to the KG4 voodoo kernel. Chadster found that after flashing the kernel while in CWM voodoo do a factory clear wipe user data. Then reboot will clear that up, and I can say that this method has worked for me.
Back up your apps and data. Then re-flash the rom and kernel. Try what I mentioned above and see if it works for you. I would almost guaranty that it will.
Oooooohhhhhh!!! Of course, Now i understand... they are looking for de old kernel... but it was deleted by the new mod. Now i need to flash Again...
Your answer was very fast and thank you... But i just install the Odin version... but now i dont have CWM, voodoo or what ever...
Can i reinstall the KG4 kernel anyway?

Yea, just use the odin version of the KG4 kernel, it contains the CWM voodoo. After flashing that reboot into CWM voodoo and do the wipe data/ factory reset.
Then reboot. When you try to enable voodoo there is a good chance that you will here linda say something about not having enough space.
If you do hear that, you will be fine just follow these instructions.
1st. make a copy of everything that you want to save from your external sd card, and put it on your computer. (you are about to erase everything on the card)
2nd. place the card back in the phone and reboot into CWM recovery
3rd. go to the Advanced option and select it.
4th. go down to partition SD card and select it.
5th. select 1024m (this is what I use, others may use a different size)
6th. select the OM option (itds on the top and the only one without numbers I believe)
Now wait and let it re-format and create a new Voodoo partition. Once it brings you back to the red Voodoo CWM menu Go to voodoo and make sure that you have everythig enabled. And reboot.
This time you will here the sweet sound of Linda as she converts your phones file structure over to EXT4 (voodoo lagfix)
Excelent, every think is right now.... Veryyy clear and know i understend the process...
Just i try with 1024, but linda tellme there is no enough space... then i try with 2048 and work Nice...
that mint now I have 2gb more in my internal memory???
Or now i can use Link2sd???
1024 or 2048 doesn't mean what space you've got left, it's the, ehm, the size of something when partitioning (in kb, not gb), but not your internal memory space. It's still 1gb, 500 for rom and 500 for apps. Or so I think.
And why use link2sd? android GB already install apps on SD, as long as they are compatible to use on SD. Some apps require that they're installed on internal memory to work properly, this behavior is set by the app developer. So don't mess with them. I've installed 70 apps, some of them are installed on sd card, others on the phone internal memory. Still haven't had any issues with not enough space or something like that.
I used CF-Root to root my Galaxy SL i9003(2.3.5) and after that I installed OCLF. I installed the files which said fix the lag and after I saw no change in my phone I clicked the option to remove those files.
After that I used CF-Root Tweak Manager v1.20 and selected all the options (i.e. RAM: Min-Free, SD: Speed Tweak, I\O: Scheduler, Kernel Scheduler, EXT4 Speed, VM: Swappiness..., Ram Script, Auto ZipAlign) and the I selected the option of Applying Changes which Re-Booted my phone.
Since that Reboot I am facing the following problems:
1) Notification bar not showing anywhere.
2) Internal as well as External SD Cards are not getting recognized.
3) Cannot see incoming calls sometimes.
I dont know what caused the problem, OCLF or Tweak Manager. When I go to Settings->SD Card and Phone Storage, it says UNAVAILABLE for both iternal and Ext Memory Cards.
I have tried Factory Reset through CWM Recovery and through the phone as well but it did not help.
Flash an official ROM twice using ODIN... simple.
Wich is that OCLF that you used? Where is it posted? I guess it is not working fine with the i9003
thanks...Ill try that out and get back to you..

Guys I m newbie.
Want to know what is the best script or app or MOD which is best for moving apps and data to external memory and will help improving performance of our phone.
I am using Gingersnap 2.3 by neko, but s2e does not work on it?
Please hepl me with this.
Is this mod is safe to use?( Interactive Data2sd )

Also for me Link2SD is the best solution, I've a rooted phone with stock rom, I followed the guide and I choose to put 1 GB in the second partition for APP. Now after 1 year I've more than 500 addition MB of apps!

I am a big fan of cronmod's scripts. You can put the script in the init.d folder of the rom's .zip before you flash it, or you can flash one of cronmod's .zips immediately after flashing a ROM (before first boot).
I like them because they are fully automatic. You can install tons of apps, and they get put on your sd-ext without having to link them, or do anything to them. I used link2sd for a long time before I found cronmod's scripts. After a while I still ended up running out of space, and I would have to go back into link2sd to figure out what ELSI I could link.
With cronmod's scripts your internal folders ( like /data or /data/app depending on the script) get automatically mounted to to sd-ext. This effectively adds to your internal storage. I see it as more of a fix, while link2sd is more like a band-aid.

Hi, thankyou for the tips, yes link2sd will not give you infinite space, once you start to have a lot of apps, them continue to write some data (cache, etc.) on your internal memory and this will lead you to fill your internal memory. So in my opinion with a non rooted phone, simple move app to sd is like a band-aid while link2sd on rooted phone is like a powerfull band-aid.
About the script, it will move ALL and let you to install infinite apps? I've readed that these kind of script give you also some stability problem on some apps and also decrease speed of the phone while for now, with link2sd i've no problem at all, I moved also gapps.

Im using cronmod (int2ext+) and I haven't experienced any problems, I guess (haven't tested) they just released a script that will work with 4.2.1 The only app that ive seen with noticeable lag was titanium backup, but other than that its been great
Ive also used link2sd and that works extremely well also.

Obviously, not infinite, but on my ov I have about 180 mb for my data partition. Using the d2ext script with a 2 gb sd-ext partition means that I increase that by literally over 1000%. I have absolutely no stability problems with the scripts. Sometimes a particular rom won't boot with a particular script, but I've always been able to find at least one script that will play nice with any rom I've used.
I really liked link2sd when I started using it, but eventually running out of space again, and constantly having to link apps got old. The script will move ALL of your apps without you having to tell it what to do, and your apps will still "think" they are installed on the phone, so widgets will work fine.
thanks!!!!!
Thanks guys!!!
I m now using int2ext+ by cronmod ....works perfect!!!!
very stable and smooth...:good:

Ok heres the story (its not too long don't worry)-
But I URGENTLY need help to fix it please please.
I have an LG GT 540.
I got it 2months ago, and it came as factory standard, and on LG's android 1.6 operating system (so unusable basically).
Over the 2months I managed to upgrade it to a Cyanogen 4.2.1 custom rom, managed to learn how to partition my SD card into fat32 & ext2 and then installed Mounts2sd and used it to freeup space on phone.
(The phone comes with only 138mb storage, so is unusable without mounts2sd quite simply).
The phone was constantly freezingup everytime I tried to load any app ever,
but after clicking the 'Fix Permissions' tab in the recovery menu, it was all working fine and everything was working fine.
HOWEVER as 1 thing wasn't working on an app I love, and re-installing the app didn't fix the issue, I decided to wipe the whole phone, reinstall the ROM and try re-installing the app then.
But when trying to clear and wipe everything from the phone, in addition to clicking data wipe/cache wipe/dalvik cache wipe, I also clicked on the buttons saying ''Format system / Format SDcard / Format sd-ext''.
When I tried to reboot phone it was bricked, as had no boot screen logo, just was plain dark screen.
I fixed this by removing sd card from phone, putting it into laptop, placing the Cyanogen 4.2.1 rom file directly onto the sdcard, placing sd back into phone, rebooting into recovery menu, and then re-installing the ROM from the sd card.
However I now have a massive issue in that whilst the phone will now work without Mounts2sd installed (well it works but I cant install any apps as no space to do that),
As soon as I install Mounts2sd on the phone and try to use it, whilst it does freeup the memory its meant to, it totally mucksup the entire phone by making every app freeze, making phone not turn off straight away when clicked to... ect
I have removed sdcard, re-partitioned it on my laptop into Fat32 & Ext2, re-installed the ROM multiple times, and then re-installed mounts2sd on the fresh rom and tried to use it,
But everytime I try it just screwsup the phone and makes all the apps and everything on the phone freeze!!
Ive now wiped all data/cache/dalvik,
re-flashed that cyanogen rom onto the phone again (mustve done that 50x now in last 2months),
and am about to try formatting the sd card again on my laptop, then re-partitioning it to Fat32 & Ext2.
But before I re-install Mounts2sd and get the exact same issue all over again,
please please can someone tell me how I can fix this or what im doing wrong??
And so how exactly I can install Mounts2sd back onto my phone again, but without it messingup the whole phone and making everything on it freeze?
Thankyou soooo much inadvance
