Hello everyone. I am branching over to XDA from Androidforums in need of more guidance.
First, let me say I HAVE searched for instruction to my post, I HAVE NOT been successful with any of my reading. I just closed three separate windows of firefox with a total of near 75 tabs, all related to apps2sd, but none giving the specific instruction I need.
If in reading this you can think of another thread that has my answer, PLEASE post it for me. -much appreciated
If not, please read and help if possible. (I am listing my set up in case it is user specific)
CDMA Hero
Rooted
RA-Heroc v1.2.3 Recovery
Fresh 1.0 Rom
My goal is to initialize and complete the process of setting up apps2sd system today.
I would like to sucessfully have this running and I cannot find any specific guide on "how to". I have however found MANY that speak about it after the fact.
So, please someone tell me what I need to do to set this up. I want apps off device and to have a "swap space (???)" set up.
Can I do this now (after having flashed custom rom) or do I need to start all over, beginning with apps2sd process first and then flashing Rom.
Detailed instructions much appreciated, or a link to appropriate thread.
THANKS!! Rep points for you!!
You just need to partition your SD card as ext2+FAT+swap and reboot. That's all.
This will erase your SD card, so be sure you copy everything off first.
Please edit the title of this thread and take out the [ROM] prefix. This is not a ROM and the title is misleading.
Thanks.
EDIT: Does FreshROM 1.0 have apps2sd? I thought it only supported it if you had it on there previously.
EDIT: Never mind, I just saw this in the FreshROM apps2sd rant post - "Now with all of THAT said -- this rom officially has and supports Apps2SD. "

Are you serious, it's that simple?!!! argggh.
Okay, but with a bit more detail... I am rebooting into recovery mode and then doing this? Can you explain with just a tad more detail? thanks!
Haha there is no more detail. Just format your SD card with that option. WAM BAM DONE
I swear I'm not a cop! I just made the same mistake once.
I tried looking for apps2sd info a while back and ran into your same dilemma. I ended up using Modaco's ROM (actually, I used the UNOFFICIAL updated modaco made by obelisk79) because it already had it on there.

Right in the recovery options there's one that says something like "Format SD card: Ext2+FAT+swap" or something like that. Choose that, then reboot.
I thought Fresh 1.0 had AppsToSD built-in. If it doesn't, this won't actually accomplish anything.

Well, I would back up your card first. Just copy everything over to your computer, format your card, reboot your phone and then copy everything back to your SD.

Yeah I found somewhere that it would obviously erase the card data. I am really trying to figure out if the apps2sd is the same as "swap" since I keep finding bad things about swapping.

No, it's not the same as using swap. It works fine, don't worry about it.
AppsToSD works best with a Class 6 card, since the class 6 cards are faster.

Yes, I'm using it. I have read flipzmode's rant about why he doesn't like Apps2SD. I have had no problems with it.
When I ran it with the modaco/obelisk79 ROM it seemed to keep the phone relatively speedy, even with a ton of apps installed. I am using FreshROM 1.0 now and I ended up uninstalling a few apps because of lag.
EDIT: I am not inferring that FreshROM is any slower. I think the problem is on my end! BTW, I am using a 16G class 6 card.

Unfortunately I think mine is not a class 6, it's just an 8gig standard micro sd. (PNY brand).
Anyway, so i went in recov. mode and formatted to the ext/fat/swap partition. I reloaded my card with previous data. Is that all I need to do? is there no setting I need to monitor or adjust?
and also, will my current apps get pushed to the sd or is there a process I should follow to move them to the sd?
I just did this and it pushed my apps from what I can tell. My internal storage number went from around 90mb used to 52mb. Now my real question is if I wanted to undo this.. what kind of options/headache am I looking at ?

Current apps should get pushed to the SD. To make sure it's working, pull up an adb shell and do:
cd /data/app
pwd
You should see "/system/sd/app" spit back at you.

Well yeah you would certainly have to reformat. But in addition to that you would need to re-install your apps, since they would have been removed from the card.
I was reading somewhere that you can change a setting to zero which causes the hero to pull the apps back to internal storage, leaving you not needing to re-install. cAn't remember where setting is or where i found it...

Hello
So i have a little problem which is really anoying ...
I'm running the lastest stock FW which is Jelly Bean 4.1.1, and my device is rooteed ( i updated with OTA RootKeeper) and i'm sure i'm rooted because somes apps that requires root are working perfectly.
I have tried every single app on the market that would allow me to move my apps to the SD card but no success, every app fails ...
Any idea on how to fix this ?
Thanks in advance

Look for link2sd on the market. This app will move your apps to your sdcard then create a reference point for the OS to find the app. The draw back is it's a little technical to set this up. You need to create 2 partitions on your sd card, first partion is fat32 to store your normal stuff and the second partion formatted with ext4 for the apps. Currently there is no other app can move app to sd.

Well, let's say that some apps requires a certain patch that only works when the patch is applied to an app that has been moved to the SD card :fingers-crossed:
You can also use the app directory bind to do this on ICS or JB.
With large apps like GTA3, GTA Vice CIty, and Madden, even with a 32g card being able to move large apps to sd would be a godsend. Its making my god tablet slow being filled up. Be nice to find a workaround...
I wanna use my microsd as main storage.

I had slight issue with something else but fixed it earlier today, here is exactly what I did; formatted ext sd card to fat32,
then did a full wipe using philz recovery (option which says wipe to install new rom),
then formatted internal memory, /sdcard
Then pressed full wipe for new rom AGAIN,
Then flashed rom (am running HD ROM 7.0),
Then flashed script.

because you specifically keep mentioning temple run I just tried it AND YES for some reason on both temple run one and two my actuall device memory goes down instead of the SD card, to be honest before this about 4 months ago I tried this and also had a problem where I could not install anything at ALL EVEN FROM THE PLAYSTORE, this script seems to be quite buggy for me personally, im going to go back to normal. I am going to look for an alternative. Also the parsing error which got fixed is back again LOL! Wasted money on a 64gb it seems.

Yes, I feel like I wasted money for the sd too,but also I feel stupid for not knowing all of these storage stuff at the first place. Honestly, I won't go back cuz if your fond of gameloft games or games really big on MBs you actually can save some memory. I have 7 gameloft games installed which are about 1 gb each and they have taken no more than 0.50 from the internal(all together). All games with Cache will work that way cuz the cache can go in the external (e.x with cache http://android.mob.org/game/dungeon_hunter_4.html ) if you scroll down where it writes download the last one is the cache, its close to 1GB. But, it still isn't fully working,as small games,which in my opinion happen to be the best for tablets don't store there.In the future i might change too, i get no errors or anything so far. Maybe a new script or something comes by then, that is actually working? :fingers-crossed:
If you find something better, tell me. I'm not so pleased with this script either

Once again, thank you! I'll be really busy these months but I'll read it right away when I find time.I appreciate it :good:
ok i have a samsung galaxy stellar / sch-1200 from verizon, cant find a forum on it so i figured this would be closest hopefully.....
it reads internal storage as "sdcard01" and i also have an 8gb external sd card. the phone itself does not have an option to move app 2 sd card in the application manager.
ive tried app's via the playstore and still no avail. app2sd and others..
my question is.. is there an option somewhere in the phone that i cannot seem to find or a way to get it to default save items/pics/mp3s/ect to the actual sd card??
ive looked all over to try to find out some similar problems and cant seem to find any info besides actually swapping the external to internal and vice versa using ADB.... i do not have this phone rooted and wont until warranty is up. if anyone could point me in the right direction or inform me on how to change the storage settings id really appreciate it.
thanks in advance.

no not yet.. i will be rooting it in the next couple months but as of right now its not unforunately. its like the phone doesnt even recognize the sd card it in even though it is mounted and reads pictures and music that i manually put on there. but the application manager doesnt even have an option to "move to sd"
I don't know. Maybe it is mounting as read only. That is what happens on the xoom

shouldnt be.. i can move individual files that i have downloaded, its the weirdest things ive ever came across..
my og droid was rooted and my htc inspire, they both even before rooting had the option to move apps to the sd card. the phone has 2gbs of internal space so its not like its worse than the previous just blows my mind and i have no idea how i could maybe change it to having the external card being the primary storage. under Astro it says there are 2 sd cards... i know its thinking that the internal storage is the first/primary card. just dunno how to get it to switch over i guess..
thats the best way i can think to describe the situation..
For moving pics and music and such I would think a file browser like es file explorer or something would let you move from one storage to the other. I dunno that you would need root access for that. But apps are a different story.

yea the file parts im not real worried about. i am able to move them and everything.
i might be not able to really explain it the way im wanting to. its reading like there are 2 sd cards when there is only one in the phone. so the primary storage is to the internal (fake sd card) so it wont move apps to the sd card to free up internal space. thats my assumption anyway. so i thought there might be a way to change the primary storage but i havent found a way to. if that makes sense.
yeah there are external2internal swaps or whatever but I'm pretty sure you're gonna need root and custom recovery to do anything like that.

I have tried to move apps to sdcard with Link2SD and other similar apps. It fails and says that I can't move them because my device has a primary external storage which is emulated from the internal storage.
Here is a screenshot of the message
Howdy!
as far as I have found out (and been following this problem on and off since I got my plus a few months ago) there is no proper way to move apps to your SD card. Best solution (and the one I am using) is to partition your SD Card then use Link2SD to link apps on your SD. You can set it up to do so automatically for every new app you install. As for partitioning I found this guide the best since I'd never attempted it before but it works really well.

Well, my phone was rooted anyway but I think Link2SD needs it. As to why exactly it needs to be partitioned I can only tell you that when my card wasn't partitioned as suggested in the guide I linked then Link2SD wouldn't even offer to link the apps. I am no expert as I pointed out but this was a solution that worked for me. It may well be someone else found something better that doesn't require partitioning. To my knowledge doing things this way requires root AND the partitioned SD card.

Yeah, I tried Apps to SD as well but without success. You get exactly the message as the OP said here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42863865&postcount=2
Same goes for Link2SD however once you partitioned it at least offers you to link the apps. But like I said that only happened after I did the partitioning. Beforehand it would not even offer that.
I am not entirely sure what or why Samsung did what they did in kinda blocking the moving of apps to an external card but it it really blows considering that you only get a somewhat limited amount of storage to begin with.

Hello again brother. Same here. Before partitioning there was not any option to create link even.
I did the partitioning stuff did work. I can successfully transfer my apps into the ext2 partition i created. (Btw which partition format did you go with?)
How ever I believe folder mount is still a better option as it does not require you to create partitions and works directly such as you enter a brand new card without partition and move apps into card and then it links it. But the only drawback is you need to purchase the app :

I did the partitioning stuff did work. I can successfully transfer my apps into the ext2 partition i created. (Btw which partition format did you go with?)
How ever I believe folder mount is still a better option as it does not require you to create partitions and works directly such as you enter a brand new card without partition and move apps into card and then it links it. But the only drawback is you need to purchase the app :

I used ext4 for my partition. And I hadn't heard of Folder Mount until you mentioned it. Will have to check it out. Can you actually move stuff if you use that?

Well ext4 didn't work for me idky though ext2 did and it worked. But creating partitions is pure junk and it would reduce the life and speed of your card (its something i believe) so I deleted the partitions and brought my card into original format.
And yes man Folder Mount is something we need ! It does exactly what both of us want. Simply move all the app data from internal memory to external memory and as soon as you move you have empty space on your internal storage and external storage is occupied. Its simple and very clear and easy to use. Just 3 clicks i believe and its done. And another good stuff is it will show you how much an app is occupying internal space and then moves it into SD card and also doesn't show important system apps to move as moving them creates problem.
There's a free version to try which would allow you to move 3 apps only and if you want more then buy the app for 2 Dollars.
Its developed by @madmack. Do check it out. The sad part for me is I dont have a credit card nor Paypal is available in my country
And i need this app badly !
