If i move dalvik cache from sd card (i have darktremors script) to /dev with a symlink will i have any problems? Will my phome get any faster? The sd is class 4. 200mb is a pitty to stay empty.

Hi there.
I´ve searched this forum, but I didn't find a reasonable answer, which I fully understood.
I flashed Megatron a couple of weeks ago, with some enhancements, I did the regular survey, everythings working fine, except of A2SD or the SD card partition.
I've got low memory message all the time, and only when a few programs installed and most of them moved to sd card(if possible), I can't install more... It's really anoying.
Is the partition really working? And how can I find out?
Do you guys have any idea what could be my problem and how to fix that?
Thank you
instal void echo rom , its way better than megatron and no probs
You mean you recently installed it and all of a sudden you get a memory low error? Maybe the a2sd scripts failed to move /data/app to the sdcard. Just a hunch.
I mean maybe the a2sd card didnt function from the beginning... But I mentioned it after I installed applications.
And what happen with the a2sd when I unmount an SD card, or when I boot with a SD card mount problem(It happedn, I had to put it out and back on)?
Can I partiton that again without flashing a new rom? I tried that, using custom recovery, so I made a backup, then I wiped the ext memory, made a partition of: swap 0, ext 1024 and then I upgraded to ex3 and ext4... But when I booted up, there is the same internal memory, but less space on SD card.. So the partition is there, but mind not mounted....
Hey guys!
I've searched through the forum, and Google, but I've not found anything of help
Is there any setting, any hack or customization of any kind, to make Winamp store the WiFi sync songs to a custom folder? It's putting them on the phone right now, but I'd like them on the External SD card.
Thanks for your help!
+1 on this.
Wifi Sync only syncs data to /sdcard/music folder no matter what we do...
In Samsung Galaxy SL (I9003), /sdcard is internal sdcard and /sd (~/external_sd) is external sd.
I tried to create a symlink to ~/external_sd/Music in /sdcard/music using terminal emulator so that /sdcard/music points to ~/external_sd/Music (or /sd/Music)
But it says operation not permitted.
After a bit of research, it was clear why it was not allowing.
Our external sd card is fat32 filesystem and its not possible to create symlinks on that filesystem.
I was thinking why do we need external sd to be fat32, wasnt it just fine to use ext3 or some other linux friendly file system?
And maybe change fstab to mount it as ext3. smthing like that?
Just checking possiblity.
What is the best solution for the out of internal memory problem? Do I really need to start testing ROMs until I find one good and then create a ext3 partition on the SD card? Is there a fully functional ROM anyway?
Use link2sd... easy than installing a2sd... you just need ext2 partition in your sdcard...
I've been using my Archos 101 for a while, both with stock Android and UrukDroid. I've got internal 16GB memory.
Now I've bought a 16GB SDcard. I assume that, when I put it in the A101, my current user data will no longer be available.
What is the best procedure to copy the current user data to the SDcard?
You seem to have gotten something wrong.
If you install a sd card the memory is added to the internal.
In the std Fileexplorer you find it on the top, in others in /sdcard/sdcard
That sounds to easy to be true.
Without SDcard, the apps store their data in /mnt/storage (symlinks: /storage and /sdcard), which is internal memory.
When the CDcard is mounted, it becomes /mnt/storage/sdcard. Will the apps now store data there? Or did I misunderstand the purpose of the SDcard and is it only extension memory?
Yes you missunderstand the purpose of sdcards.
It really is only storrage extension.
And the Apps store there Public data in /storage or /sdcard ( which are the same mountpoints in Archos Android ), the private data goes into /data/data which archos decided to be on a 300MB partition.
Thanks. That explains it all.
My cresta has a system partition (/system), a data (/data) partition and a sdcard (/mnt/sdcard)
And a mounted (/mnt/external_sd) external SD kart (8Gb)
The data (/data) partition is only 1 Gb and the rest of the internal memory is used bij the mounted sdcard partition. The data partition is allmost full and I can't move anymore apps to the sdcard (not all of the apps are movabe)
I can mount a external sd-card but I can't use it for moving applications. I only can move to the internal sdcard.
I want the internal sdcard (/sdcard) removed and the 2Gb added to my data partition.
And the mount of the (internat) sdcard witch is removed must be set to the mount /external_sd
I'm a newbie, so can anyone help me to change this?
There is nog data or apps on this tablet (Cresta CTP818) and I have a backup of the Original rom (tested to restore)
So I can try whatever I want.
