how to install app2SD on LG GT540 (android 1.6)
If you update to 2.1 then it's meant to work. There's a guide on Modaco on how to do it.
I am only passing on information that I have searched (mainly through Modaco) for and tried and tested. This is by no means my creation or discovery! And also...dont sue me if you mess your phone up!
First of all, you must be rooted!
Best thing to do before installing apps2sd is to do a factory data reset.
There has been discussions on whether apps2sd overwrites the phones factory defaults. I think the problem lays in an old script of apps2sd, perhaps there is a new on out... I couldnt tell ya! Anyhow, this is not really a problem if you want apps2sd permanently on your phone though. So remember, start from scratch, reset your data.
1. Partition your sdcard and make 3 partition on it.
Example: sdcard is 1 GB
1st partition in FAT32 600mb
2nd partition in ext2 300mb
3th partition as swap 100mb
Im not sure if the swap partition is needed but I made it anyway.
2. Copy the apps2sd folder to the root of the sdcard.
Example: /sdcard/app2sd/
3. Connect your phone from ADB and type this command :
adb shell
su (approve with superuser aplication in your phone)
sh /sdcard/app2sd/app2sd.sh
After a while your phone will reboot.
4. Now check how much internal memory you have (I had 135mb after my clean install of apps2sd. I have never had that much after a factory reset, a hard reset or a flash).
And there you have it folks!
tutorial : how to insert app2sd in optimus
first, im sorry for my english
for app2sd on optimus, you must have root level.
before install app2sd, please check you internal memory (setting-sd card & phone storage)
and remember your free space. biggrin.gif
step:
1.Partition your sdcard (i use paragon manager)
make 3 partition on your sd card.
example : your sdcard is 4 GB
1st partition in FAT32 3 GB
2nd partition in ext2 700mb
3th partition swap 300 mb

swap like a virtual memory may be.
i think phone need a virtual memory for app2sd.
Swap is like a linux swap (as in swap space for the RAM), but from what I read, it's not actually needed
Ah I see! Well thanks for that info. Its a bit too late now lol but atleast I know for next time. Thanks

Hey, I have an unlocked LG Optimus, if I set it to factory default will that lock it again? Or can I do this without setting my phone to factory default?
Old post but for reference's sake, am posting this here.
I used MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition for making the partition.
I had a 16GB microSDHC but I made only a 512mB ext2 and left the rest as FAT32.
GT540 was designed to handle only 140mB of usable internal memory. So, making a huge ext2 partition will considerably slow down your phone. I would recommend to keep it below 512mB. Most often, you won't install more than 200-300mB worth of apps. Most games have their extra data downloaded to the SD and only apk and dex files reside in the phone.
And, I found that Link2SD was better than apps2sd. I never used apps2sd because by the time I wanted apps2sd, Link2SD was out. Check it out.

i am having 8 GB memory card. can you please tell me the steps how to do partion..
why dont you just put 2.2 or 2.3 on your phone. the roms are available in the developer forum.
I found installing cm7 made it work. Although i lost the functionality of my camera app2sd worked other than that it is a great rom.
I agree, link2sd is far more better than apps2sd.
Also u need to upgrade ur firmware from 1.6 and 2.1 to higher roms, 2.3 is good.
So to fully use ur android,root your device, install a rom manager, then clockworkmod and superuser, there you can enjoy.
Hi,I am relatively new to Android,but I got the hang of flashing a custom recovery,ROM etc.But there is one thing I can't figure out.I flashed the Megatron ROM and the optimusXrom and they both come with built-in Apps2SD.But I don't know how to use it.Is there some terminal command,how can I transfer my apps to sd?I really cannot find the answer here,even though I searched this forum.Can anyone help me and explain to me how to use this Apps2SD option.Tnx in advance
You don't have to do anything. If your ROM has a2sd, the applications will go to a special partition on your microSD card. The OS is tricked into believing they are installed in the phone memory, so the option "Move to SD" will appear for those applications - but as I mentioned before, they actually go to the SD card straight from installation. That's all.
always read the first page of rom's carefully. You have to make a partition of 512 MB on your SD card from recovery. By partitioning your SD card will be formatted and loose everything. So copy your important SD contents to your PC. And always read the first page of roms in the forum everything is there.
Search xda for Darktremor a2sd.

Hi, when i had a HTC desire, which had not a lot more internal memory than our phones, there was a script on one of the roms, DATA2SD i think it was called, after partitioning your card, the internal memory could go up to 2GB i think (well, on my 16gb card anyway), can this be done n our phones? and do any roms have this????
Two steps: 1) Format 2) Choose script.
First you need to format your SD card so you have a FAT32 partition (first primary partition) and an EXT partition as the second primary partition. I do this from the commandline, but the best option is to use CWM V5+ which automates this for you. Then there are several options for scripts which mount the EXT partition as a virtual internal /data/app/ directory
S2E is the recommended option if you use a cyanogenmod based ROM. It uses mount points.
A2SD is installed by default on ROMs that use ketut's kernel if I remember correctly. It uses a simple symlink.
Link2SD is available for multiple ROMs. It is the most "advanced" as it links individual apps rather the whole directory, but with more power comes less simplicity...
Ahh the Desire.....a phone that is still popular despite its age

Hello World,
I've got a question concerning the external 8gb sdcard on my phone,
the phone is rooted, has bootloader and cwm 6, the rom is stock btw
My phone can put/place some things to the sd but some don't,
for example,
- Camera saves some of the pics to it,
- My PC sees it when I connect the phone and I can put apps/music etc to it
but,
- I can't use the app2sd built into android assistant (or any other app2sd apps) to move the apps to the sd, they just won't see the sd,
- CWM wont backup to it,
No /sdcard/.android_secure found. Skipping backup of applications on external storage

I've searched the forum, but I can't actually find the right solution for this?
I'm new to all of this, and I want to learn. I've found some advices to similar problems and that the solution is to partition the sd, is that the catch or maybe something else?
Thank you in advance, newbie.
Edit
A new example of not seeing the sd in recovery,
I wanted to flash the "Sony Album" via the Pimp my Rom app, it downloaded the app successfully, it asked for clearing of the dalvik cache, I approved it,
phone rebooted and went into recovery, and then the recovery said that the file doesnt exist (something like that).
Edit
I've tried formatting the sd with fat32, no changes whatsoever :S
apps to sd
how to move apps to external sd card in lg optimus l5 e612. i had rooted the device and still it shows this device does not support apps to sd.
Hello,
I recently began to get the Low Memory warning and decided to use Link2SD as I had used it on many phones before.
I used EaseUS Partition Master Home Edition with my SD connected to the computer via a card reader. I created an ext2 partition following instructions form another thread, but my phone says my SD is blank.
Another post told me to create the 2nd partition too as FAT32, but my phone only detects the 2nd partition.
Some forums told that the stock ROM does not support ext file formats so I would have to flash a custom ROM or Kernel.
IS there ANY way to do this without flashing anything? If not, what should I do?
I appreciate any help.
PS: I am using a Sony Erricson Xperia X10i with Stock upgraded 2.3 ROM.
