Hi,all
I have some questions about HTC Aria CM7.03 Stable Mod.
1. Does CM7 has full support DATA2SD?
if not,
2. How to install DATA2SD on CM7?
Check out S2E on the market. It's an app2sd alternative specifically for CM7. It won't allow you to move everything from the data partition to the SD card, but it will let you move almost all of it. (You can move all the apps but you can't move the app settings basically.) It also lets you move dalvik cache which in CM7 I believe is placed on the data partition, so this can help free up space as well.
S2E requires basically no complicated setup. Just install the app, run it to choose your settings, then reboot.
What's the differences between Apps2EXT, Apps2SD (Google) , apps2SD (CM), DATA2SD ?
Thanks for your reply!

The built in versions of apps2sd (2.2+) move the apps to the fat32 partition of the sd. So no moving certain apps, especially if you want to use Widgets. You also can choose which apps to move. Apps2ext (s2e, DT) move the Alps to an ext partition and its all or nothing. But you can still use widgets etc.
I also recommend s2e for cm7 users.

A2SD is solution. Search on forum first...for next time...
[Script][A2SD] Darktremor Apps2SD 2.7.5.3 Beta 04 (01/29/2011)
[Q] Apps2SD on a custom ROM
Hmmm interesting, but seems way too much of a hassle . Primarily I just wanted to move Yahoo messenger which occupies quite a lot of space and maybe Chess elite which again is rooted ( literally speaking ) into the internal memory . This makes me sucha a sad panda
For that I just use move2sd enabler or apps2sd froyo. They're in the market

It will not force move apps like Yahoo mess , or chess elite unfortunately . Seems like I'm stuck with a pretty limited phone memory
If you like having everything on the SD card, you can use ROMs that come with dalvik2sd and darktremor apps2sd That is, if you like that. I personally don't prefer those though. As long as I have more than 50MB of free internal space, there's nothing to worry about.
I have lots of apps installed on my optimus one.
Some on SD and some on phone.
If I go for this mod, do I have to install all the apps on the SD card again as those would be deleted?
No idea. I tried flashing Light ROM(i added darktremor for my personal use and testing) without wiping anything, and darktremor apps2sd doesn't seem to work. To me, this looks like wiping everything then flashing. In short, complete reinstallation.
I'm not sure though. Maybe I just haven't given it enough time.
Try move2sd enabler.
Try links2sd from Gt540 forums. As far as I know it need some work with some kernels. For sure works with Mik_os kernel (1.0) Backup all content of SD card before ext partitioning.
i have installed app2sd in market free but there are some app only install in phone memory, how to move them into sdcard
you can try via adb:
adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2

You can try that too. It won't be picky since it will create symbolic links from /data/app to your SDcard's ext partition. I yet have to try this, but this method seems to be easy, plus there's a GUI (app) for it.
I'm not sure if this works with the stock kernel, but flashing something else should be easy
apps2sd with stock rom
Anyone here tried installing darktremor's apps2sd?
I can't seem to get it to work. It just loops in the bootup animation.
Hi,
I had HTC Desire before Android Froyo has been released and those days was said need to some hacks (think after root?) to move apps from internal memory to SD card. Also was said Google will add this feature to later Android versions natively.
I've searched on the forum and found some topics but still have below questions:
from which android version does it support App2SD exactly? Is there any improvement for native App2SD in later versions? (i.e gingerbread toward froyo)
Does this feature remain in all other Android versions that come later?
According to this post there are 3 kind of App2SD: Froyo A2SD, Legacy A2SD, Legacy A2SD+ ; while that post was for September 2010 is there any change in this manifest? which one is better?
I read costume ROMs need to be compatible with App2SD so we can enable it on them. Is it enough that a ROM has App2SD compatibility/feature or we need do some works and/or install apps to use App2SD on the phone?
I saw different apps and tricks to move apps like these:
Moving ANY app to SD on FroYo (or how to Enable all grayed out 'Move to SD' buttons)
[APP][Froyo][root] Move2SD Enabler - ex SetInstallLocation
[App] Link2SD
What's the comprehensive App2SD app yet? Should we install an app for this purpose ever?
As 'bakpinar' said in this post:
bakpinar said:
Instead of moving all applications to SD card with app2sd, I want to move only selected applications.
Because I don't want to move my launcher, soft keyboard and dialer application to SD and make them unavaliable on boot if my SD card has problem or not inserted.
In order to resolve this I developed an application called Link2SD.

It's not wise to move launcher, soft keyboard and dialer application to SD and make them unavaliable on boot if my SD card has problem or not inserted.
Now what if I am going to move all apps except these 3 mother app and don't want to select all new apps and current apps to move on SD card? any solution here?
Finally I have rooted HTC Desire HD with Android Revolution HD ROM.
Special Thanks for taking time to read this post.
Regards...
Any answer will be so appreciated and helpful

1. The official way to move applications to SD, as provided my the standard Android sources is part of Android 2.2 (Froyo)... I'm not sure if any modifications have been made afterwards.
2. You can now also move /data/data to SD with DarkTremor... that's about the only thing that has changed AFAIK. Better is a relative term. DarkTremor (which is the new name for the "hackish" A2SD method, to avoid confusion with Android's own support) moves more data, but it requires a special partition and is generally a LOT more fragile. However it does move more data to the SD card, leaving more internal memory available. I've tried DarkTremor and was not satisfied with the stability, but different people may come up with different results here.
3. You need a script like DarkTremor to actually do the dirty work. Prepared only means that the ROM will mount the partition, but nothing more.
4. a)/b) this still uses the native Froyo method, it just overrides the do-not-move flag. It is VERY stable.
4. c) this is a special flavor of the DarkTremor method that instead moves individual applications, but otherwise comes with the same (dis)advantages.
5. You'd still use "4. c)"... that's just a slight UI difference. The difference is that standard DarkTremor makes it impossible to let anything remain in internal memory.
Thanks soooo mauch.
I'd wish I could press thank button more than 1 time
So the most comprehensive method is DarkTremor still now? But to make some mother apps available even when there isn't SD card too, we should use Link2sd app. Did I get it true?
No problem.
Basically yes... but I've never tried Link2sd, so I can't comment on how well the application itself works...
Thanks again.
apart from what I know is that only Froyo (2.2) and up will support .android_secure
but if we are not android apps developer, we will seldom use on device that has eclair or lower. so what are the advantages of having apps in ext3 or ext4 than in fat32 (.android_secure) ?
will it be faster?
i would like to know because if the only advantage is that it supports froyo and lower than i will skip the hassle of partitioning or installing apps likes s2e, link2sd or apps2sd and just the regular froyo app2sd (.android_secure)
I would like to know..pls
with the right script/app, it trick the phone into thinking the sd-ext is part of the intrnal storge.
Moving apps to sd-ext allow widgets to work as normal. Not the case with moving apps to FAT32.
Same goes for apps with password. Another big benifit is your able to move dalvik cache and app data to sd-ext.

Yes it will be fast to load an app from ext3/4 than from sdcard because ext partion are native to linux file system ...
These article might be useful in this regard ... Try to go through them

Hi guys,
This question is bouncing on my mind for some time...
Many people state that they use darktremor a2sd on Cyanogenmod, and I'm wondering why?
Darktremor's objective is to move apps to SD, right?
Well, Cyanogenmod also allows us to do the same, right again?
Sooooo, why use darktremor on Cyanogenmod?
Thanks in advance
I'm also wondering about the difference if I was to use darktremor's script. I noticed the default Apps2SD would not completely transfer the app to the sd card (for example, if I transferred a 20mb game, it's reported that around 1mb is still left in the internal memory), hence the amount of apps I could install on my ace is very limited. Would using darktremor's script solve this?
Apps2SD (the one in Froyo and CM) moves most or some (depending one the application) data under /sdcard/.android_secure and /sdcard/Android/.
It'll leave behind some files in the internal memory.
A2SD (and S2E and Link2SD) moves the ENTIRE application (app files, data files, dalvik-cache) to a separate partition on the SD Card, then links the apks to the filesystem (linking is Linux term for making a shortcut).
Another advantage of this is the bugs present in native apps2sd -- such as widgets not appearing after a reboot -- are not present in a2sd method. This is because of a mount script executed during the booting process.
This post was sent from hell.
scripts like dt a2sd tricks/fools the android to use sd-ext partition as an internal memory...
that's why when you use apps2sd(one that you can use from the app info menu) just moves a little part of the app to sd card while scripts like a2sd moves the whole data to the ext partition..
But I have to create a partition before I flash dt or link2sd? Or it is a virtual partition that the program creates? Is it really worth to use dt or link2sd?

Yes, you need to create a partition on your SD card (512MB is more than enough). The easiest way is to just partition through CWM Recovery (under Advanced, I think). It'll automatically create an ext3 partition of your choice size (also swap, if you want swapspace).
Don't be deterred by ext3 because it's lower than ext4; it's actually much more stable.
Is it worth it? Very, if you know what you're doing. As long as you don't mess around with the partition, say when you plug in USB mass storage mode to the computer, it should be fine.
My ace never appears on my cpu as a drive. Dunno what is the prob.
Anyway... how do I format my sd after it is partioned? To delete the partition ..

Darktremor's a2sd and CM kernel...
I've had some damage to my phone. More details over at my post in General questions.
My damaged unit. SK17i My consideration for replacement. MK16i. From Xperia Mini Pro to Xperia Pro. (For the price difference, it seems for the hardware upgrade to get the bigger unit.)
My basic setup? Custom Kernel with root and a2sd.
Problem. There seems no Custom Kernel but one... bbooff's. (Waiting to here if it also will support the a2sd of darktremor.)
I came across CM being available already for the MK16i.
Problem. I just use root & a2sd. Suites my simple needs. I don't do Custom Roms at present. My need is for a stable communication device.
When I got my SK17i. I read that there was a clash between CM and a2sd. Has this then been cleared up? (Fully? For those CM users who may know. I'm a noob to Android.)
Is it possible, from instructions I read on getting CM on the MK16i there's a CM kernel that must be installed 1st, to just use the CM kernel and Stock Rom?
I am just thinking maybe there will be some clash here? Then maybe not? I know the forum instructions did clearly say stock Kernel is incompatible with CM. That may be about some features CM wants to use. Stock Rom simply may not access any 'bonus' features of CM Rom but will there be a problem otherwise?
Anyone who knows more about Android... maybe have an idea?
My setup and use is pretty basic, pretty simple and no, I do not want those apps2sd programs that don't use an Ext partition and don't 'fool' the system into thinking it's running the programs on the system partition.
Well, looking for information. I would rather get the MK16i. Nice bit of kit, but I also firmly want the same basic little setup I've got here but there seems at the moment to be few Custom Kernel's for this device and I am not even about to try to roll my own. Wouldn't know where to begin.
I love the Munjeni CM9 ICS (4/13/2012 version) ROM. It works very well. It's my daily ROm now. I have a question though.
After I installed apps and I tried to move some apps to SD. As I did CM7 before, I went to "settings" - "aps" and select an app to move. It shows the button "Move to SD card" but it's disabled. In CM7, I was able to move an app like "xda" to SD. But, in CM9 rom, the button is disabled.
How can I move certain apps to SD in Munjeni CM9 ROM?
[Good explantion about "Move to SD"]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25003579&postcount=563
I've also seen that and was hoping for a solution. They probably have to include that option into the rom. Hopefully will be fixed soon.

I haven't installed CM9 yet, but I've heard that S2E works if you enable ext4 in the settings
I used Rom Manager to create an EXT partition on the SD card (I set at 512 meg) and installed the S2E app that is on WinSuk's ICS development thread -- you have to set the ICS Security settings to allow apps from "Unknown sources." I then set S2E to move Applications and Dalvik cache to the EXT partition and rebooted. Works perfectly. It may sound counter-intuitive, but in the Manage apps menu, make sure none of the apps are installed on the SD card.
