Hi I've installed Dexters froyo? Is it possible to deactivate nativ apps2sd and change to apps2sd with ext2 support?
any reason why you would want to stick with the old method?
because with nativ apps2sd not all apps can be moved and the xt720 has no enough memory
I have a similar feeling, besides the space factor, I feel the icon loading time is slightly worst too.

That is because not each application can work from SD card location. There is a large number of applications which have to be installed on phone memory regardless of app2sd or any other similar program. XT720 runs 2.1 remember?
Hi,
I always use app2card from applanet that full support ext2 partition on sd and I still works great with newest dexter v1.1 (apps, dalvik cache all moved to card)! You also could divide and format your card into ext2 & fat32!
Sent from my XT720 using XDA App
It formats SD card through the application itself ?
Use Khalpowers Gingerfroyo based on Dex 1.1b and you will get App2Ext (make a Ext3 partition on the card first).
Much more space but there is some issue with Caera and Camcoder
Yes! The app will create & format all needed partitions under your running android version! Then you could use its option for transfer apps from phone to ext2/3 partition on card!

Now after we have root for 2.1 most of you will want to have app2sd also. The script posted in x10 mini pro android development forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804574) works ok but it has one limitation. It moves only the /data/app folder to your ext2 partition on the SD card. The /data/dalvik-cache folder remains in the internal memory and this is why you still see your internal memory free space decreasing when installing applications.
I have modified the script so it also moves the dalvik cache to your SD card. I recommend to use at least class 4 SD card for this. I have attached the modified script. Follow the instructions from the original thread but use the files from my attachment. For me it works fine.If you have any problems please share so we can try to fix them together.
And finally using both the original and modified app2sd you CAN normally use your sd card as mass storage device.
u said WE HAVE ROOT FOR 2.1?? where is it ???????

thx
Hmm, something went wrong...
At night I tried your method. After App2SD setup I got 192mb free (internal memory) instead of 154, as it was before. I installed 3 applications adn the phone showed, that I still have 192mb free. In the morning I installed Skyfire and used iGO Amigo and after that I noticed, that amount of free memory is 166mb.
As I understand, the phone with App2SD mod don't use internal phone memory at all... However, mine phone still prefer internal one.
Edit: If I want to revert changes made by App2SD, I must choose "keep files from sdcard" or "load from backup"?

Well in fact using my App2SD solution not the whole /data is moved to the ext2 partition. Only the dalvik-cache and app folders in /data are moved so some applications may still consume space in the internal memory. If you uninstall use the option to use teh fiels from the SD card.

Hi all,
I use a V10E stock ROM (2.2.2), rooted. I am running out of space, despite using Move2SD Enabler, and Froyo App2SD. So, I have been reading for a while now about DarkTremor App2SD and Link2SD.
Has anyone used DarkTremor a2sd on a stock ROM before?
How does it perform in comparison to Link2SD?
The problem with Link2SD is that it does not move the application data to the ext partition. I have about 170+ apps installed, so they have tons of app data.
What do you guys recommend?
I have a follow up question
what's the difference between the two?

Neither does dt's a2sd. If you are really running out of space with those, the only option left is ungaze's data2sd which moves entire /data partition. It is quite experimental and the author is MIA at the moment.
Maybe you should just download something like CacheMate first and clean up the cruft? I have 200+ apps and 100+MB left on internal storage.
I don't think use DT A2SD on a stock ROM.
I'm using Link2SD (not stock ROM) and so far it's going pretty well. I have well over 50 apps installed and the internal memory stayed the same, at 153 MB free.
Thank you guys for the prompt reply.

I use cachemate on daily basis. And still the same.
I had a GT540 before and I used something called autorootapp2sd by joe.stone. It gave me the choice of which folders to move to the ext partition (dalvik-cache, apps, apps/data,..etc). But this used to work on 2.1, so it can mess up with 2.2.
DT a2sd doesnt work on stock roms. Link2sd works fine.

Link2SD does do this, but not by default. You can select which apps for Link2SD to affect. The reason why is that some apps and widgets you DONT want moved to the SD or they stop functioning properly.
I'm running Link2SD on stock LGP509T (optimus T) with Froyo 2.2
I have found in the X8 forum this actually someone said that he is doing it even for the x10 mini. Has anybody any clue about this, if it's being prepared for our phones?. For those who don't understand the princip, it's all about moving the data files of each program to the mem card.

Woow that's really true, thanks. How can i start to use it, because all the items are greyed out. do i need to create a second partition in ext3/4?
If you have 2.2 or above (froyo or gingerbread) its native (a2sd), and with Eclair you can use Link2SD or some scripts to achieve something similar... I use Link2SD and a second (FAT) partition on SD, but have used Froyo and Ginger and A2sd native always worked (could move some apps in app manager).
Yes you need.
If you use native option, apps are moved partially to the fat part of sd.
If you use a2e or link2sd entire apps are moved to ext partition.
Link2sd is able to use a second fat partition.

Ungaze Data2sd Problem
Hi all,
Currently I'm using the Ungaze Data2sd with the ext2 partition ready. when I reboot it shows plenty of internal space which app2sd and link2sd doesn't make it for. However, whenever I downloaded apps and reboot the phone, those apps were gone. Can anyone help me with such problem?
I want to make ext partition of my memory card.
Since I don't find separate guide for ext partition. They all focus on scripts more than ext partition.
I want to know which partition is good for our optimistic one?
Ext2
Ext3
Ext4
What r the advantage and disadvantage of these different partition
Which script to use?
ungaze data2sd or any other
Which apps to move?
App2sd
Link2sd etc
What data can be moved to SD?
Apps dalvic cache
Anything else
What size of ext partition to be used & what size of swap to be used. Does swap help in any way?
Does ext partition help in boosting your quadrant score?
plsss help
I have a 8gb class4 mmc.
Ungaze only moves apps to ext, doesn't move dalvik cache the ext..
Darktremors a2sd script plus a2sdgui allows you to move apps to ext2 or internal memory, allows you to adjust memory usage, and also moves dalvik to sd-ext
S2E-simple2ext moves apps and dalvik to ext2 but can only be used on cm7 roms
Ungaze script-link2sd
Darktremors script-a2sdgui
UNGAZE + DARKTREMORS - s2e
Google search the differences of ext2-4, I do know some roms might only use ext2 partitioning
When you download apps, it's using memory and space when you use a script to move apps to ext2, it takes part of that application and moves it to the ext partition.. So yes using a2sd scripts will improve quadrant scores, some users use quadrant standard and others use anututu, I've used anututu but I could care a less about scores. Im using cosmicxperia 3.4 which has alot of init.d scripts the push performance. It's a stable rom

512mbs is all you really need, do you honestly think you will need 1gb of ext2 space when our phones are only limited to a small ram size? The more apps you have, the more memory you'll use...
So stick to 512mb and 0 swap

Swap memory can be used as ram memory of the phone,but since our phone has lot of ram,no one recommends it.This is because using swap memory drastically reduces your sd card life span(as there are continuous read/write cycles).

Thnx. U reverted my mind
I use links2SD, which moves the dalvik, lib, and app files to the ext partition on my phone.
If you have a memory card reader for your pc, you can download a free progam called EaseUS partition manager to make and size the ext partitions on your card as EXT2 or EXT3. it's a lot faster than havign to load a custom recovery or go through scripts on your phone to do it.
I think I might of made a mistake, I don't think you need any a2sd scripts if your using simple2ext (s2e), to answer your previous questions I'm using amora recovery 3.06 with cosmicxperia 3.4 full, amora has the access to convert from ext2-ext3 to ext3-ext4 but I always just partition the card which separates a fat32 and ext2 partition with a 0 swap and 512mb ext2 size

So use a2sd, it's beneficial for our phones, if you had a freaking sgs2 or galaxy nexus or some other phone with lots of space and memory, I wouldn't use a2sd

So we all know the Xperia 2011 internl storage is very low. On my Xperia Mini Pro, with CM9 installed (normally, the smallest rom out there), I'm struggling to install apps and keep my storage with at least 50mb free. I use the ZDBox app that has an APP2SD option for moving apps to the SD Card but that's still not enough.
Is there a way I overlooked ? In my old HD2 days, Apps2Ext was working very well. With a 1gb ext partition on your sd-card, you were good to go. However, "ext" doesn't seem to be a popular option around here.
Any idea ?
Thanks !

Link2SD is the best method.
Format your sdcard:
2 partitions (primary) - 1 FAT32 (the main one), 2 EXT2 (for moving apps to 500-1000MB).
In my system I have 100-200 apps (internel storage -150mb free/ system-40 mb free).
All apps are linked to second partition on the sd card.
Important LEAVE launchers, widgets and root apps in internal storage!
Thanks guys! Will look into it this week-end...

link2sd is the best for me, its has many options, move app to system, unistall system app, clear cache, clear dalvik cache, and you can choose 1 by 1 were to install the app, sometimes i use it just to unistall some system app and clear dalvik ( when i flash a new rom) because you can use it without mount ext for that
Same here. The first app I install after a flash, is Link2SD and Root Explorer. Can't live without them.
