Try move2sd enabler and app2sd too. Maybe it helping(dont know exactly anymore), if not, they do not do any damaging to your phone. If not helping you just can unistall them then(TRY them)!
CHEERS!

Jep, I read, just saying it to be shore. Then I think you try to FLASH you FROYO again and try then. It was worked to me before I was in FROYO! Was installed move2sd enabler, then run it, but EXTERNAL. Install app2sd, then JUST run it and you can close it. Now install link2sd(and OF COURSE you must be ROOTED, with two partitions in SD[FAT32 & EXT2]). And it must be working or you doing something wrong. SORRY!

finally I found the way to move the whole app to the sd card, i Have froyo 2.2.1 stock what you have to do is this:
-root your phone
-Make a partition to the sd card, FAT32 and ext2
-install move2sd enabler
then install move2sd and select EXTERNAL
-install link2sd and select ext2 and reboot
-after rebooting open link2sd and select the app you want to move, it say on sd (froyo way) select manage and move to phone select the app again and select create link, select the 3 checks, make the link, select app again, manage, move to sd card, your memory will increase a little bit with each app...
worked for me,,,

thnx a lot bro
did it 10 days ago and working great
but i hv both pattitions fat32 not ext2 ( didnt work for me)
but i got important app had 45 mb data on phone memory . how cn i move data to sd ? the app is epocrates medical
tried data2sd but it has many bugs
btw why the memory decreases slowly despite using move2sd enabler and link2sd ¿???
Well the cache and data keep on increasing as you use browsers and games....titanium backup has the option of moving data of each app to sd...if u have darktremors apps2sd there is a data2sd command

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.

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. About the GPRS problems - i don't see how they can be related with app2sd. I do not see this problem with my phone. Are you trying my method or the new chargemon method?

Thanks... Just cleaned all apps cached files and now I have 190mb int. memory again. App2sd works!
internal memory becoming short even after moving all the downloaded apps to sd card..... do any body have any solution....????
Did you clean the cache from the browser and other apps ?
Even if you move apps to the sdcard through Apps2SD, Android still installs stuff to the phone's internal storage for the dalvik cache and Using something like Link2SD with a partitioned memory card will solve this.
If you use Link2SD, DO NOT use Apps2SD of anykind. they are counterproductive.
The LG509P Optimus T only has 200MB internal storage.
I use an 8GB card partitioned with a 512MB ext2 partition for Link2SD. With all the apps I have installed (about 35-40), my internal phone storage is only using 55mb or so, with everything else going to the card automatically through Link2SD.
Clean browser & facebook or other apps cache and data.
create an partition on your device and download a2sd gui from market and flash darktremor a2sd script via recovery...then reboot and open a2sd gui app and select app on sd...in the dalvik cache tab select move cache to sd-ext.
links are here:
for a2sd gui:

please check if your rom supports it...I dunno which ones do..but the forum and some google search might help..

Link2Sd requires no special script or custom recovery for install or rom checking. All you need is a partitioned sd card, and to download the app from the market.
Guys which one is better installing apps2sd script of link2sd?

With link2sd you have a GUI and a choice what to move to SD. With apps2sd, everything is moved, no choice, no GUI. Decide for yourself.
how much of memory does links2sd free ??? with data2sd my internal memory is 140 mb free...yeah its a little cumbersome but once done no worries...

Uhm... Depends on how many apps you move, surprisingly You can move the app, dalvik cache and libs (manually or automatically, all configurable).

thats because your dalvik-cache is on phone..
NOTE: SOme ppl report that phone gets a little slower with dalvik-cache on sd..
try this
open terminal
type "su"
then u get a # prompt
execute this "a2sd cachesdreset"
Phone wil reboot and it might TAKE a while in rebuilind dalvik-cache
..you have a lot of free space in phone now..Check it
maximum free memory
well but whats the maximum memory free..
I dont see any harm in moving everything at one to the extention...i am too lazy and prefer shifting everything at once
Dude just follow the steps everything is automated..You will get arnd 150~160mb free after its done..
I've got about 35-40 apps on my phone, using a Class 4 8GB sd card, and my phone has 155mb free. there are some things you don't want to move through Link2SD (such as desktop widgets) or they dont work.
im a newbie.... can you tell me how to partition the sd card......
Dude install custom recovery(I m using AMonra2.2.1) ..Then boot into the recovery and select Partition Sd card ..Select all upgrade options one by one and settle for ext4..And
these options will partition
swap=0
ext=512
fat=rest
using rom manager is another alternative...use the values as given above by sarfaraz
Hi, I just bought some apps in the 10 billion downloads promo, but I can't install any app that weights more than 20mb, it says I don't have enough memory, but I do, I have 90mb on internal memory, and more on SD card. How can I fix this? By the way, I just screwed something in my phone, so I was forced to reflash CM7.1, but the problem persists.

never encountered tht but here is how i managed to run dtapps2sd :
1) install new rom n wiping data cache etc.
2)reboot in recovery ... mount system ... install dtapps2sd.zip...
3)reboot system ..... go to terminal emulator n type a2sd install......
Yep, if I didn't, I couldn't install a2sd in the first place.
None of these instructions helped me. The problem is a combination of issues related to Samsung's devices and the Market application's design.
What did was a simple app from the Market called "MarketFix." (Requires root.) It moves your Market app cache from the device to your SD card FAT32 partition.

That still limits you to about 24 MB max on a download, even if you can miraculously end up completely clearing the cash.
MarketFix app from android market completely eliminates the problem.
Well, something got screwed up, and sd-ext doesn't want to automatically mount on boot, and the script I made to mount it doesn't work. BUT MarketFix took care of this error, and now I can install those apps Thanks IrishRed.

Hi,
I have an Xperia Play.
However, I am always running out of space on my internal storage...but I don't know why.
I am rooted with with both Titanium & App2SD installed.
I have very few apps installed and nearly all of them have been moved to my SD card. Yet I only have around 40mb free on my internal storage (from a total of 400mb).
I cannot figure out what is using all of my internal space. I have looked in Titanium at apps using my interal storage and it does not even come close to the 350mb it says I am using.
What could be using all this space and is there any way to find out for sure?
Thanks!
Its the app data and the dalvik cache.
Have u heard of partitioning and s2e?
move app data and dalvik cache to sd ext. that gives u more internal memory.

Hi, I think it's useless to open another thread about same "issue".
I have an Xperia Ray and with only 400Mo in internal storage it's not easy to install all that I want.
I moved all app to SD when possible, made some of them system app with TB, cleaned cache and data when possible.
My Ray (updated to ICS) is rooted and I installed the nAa's CWM 5.0.2.7 "recovery".
What is needed to partioning the sd card ? Is this possible with a locked bootloader ?

U can do it with a locked bootloader. Normally I would advise u use s2e but that wouldn't work on ICS.
Here's how u partition
Backup ur SD card
Boot into recovery
Select advanced
Partition SD card option
Select a size : recommended 1024
Select swap as 0. (32 if gaming)
Reboot
However u will need an app to move the stuff to the partition. Try link2sd
u can partition via recovery or via PC. try ad2sdx by amarullz for sd ext @babylonbwoy, are u wid stock kernel, cos these a2sd things are kernel related. and i dont think stock kernels support it.

Thanks guys.
Right...so I looked into what you were saying.
I ended up partitioning 1GB of my SD card and using it with Link2SD.
Everything was great, it created loads of space on my internal storage.
BUT...then I rebooted my phone.
After a lengthy 5 minutes boot up, I was presented with error upon error. I now have no space on my internal storage and the secondary partition on my SD card is all used up too...I guess Link2SD has somehow failed.
Any ideas?
do one thing just back up all the apps then reboot recovery n flash a stock rom with 2.3.6 xxkph/ddkq6 baseband n dnt use app 2 sd jus use stock app2sd given in manage applications........ good day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ur space will increaseor jus use optimizer 15 tools ..... pro version its an better option!!!!!!!!!!!!!choose what ever u like..................

I tried with Rom Manager option "partition sd card", it didn't work. I had choice between 128MB-256MB-512MB (choosed 512) and swap size I choosed 0 and after 32Mb, but none worked. After rebooting everything was the same.
Then I tried rebooting recovery and setting size myself but it didn't work too.
U can't just do that. You have to use an app to move the data to the memory card. Try s2e if ur on gingerbread or link2sd if on ICS
Ok, I'm on ICS, thought that I have to prepare sd card before moving things.
I'm a total noob when it come to android, only few weeks using it.
First partition via clockwork, then install link2sd.
Link2sd will give u a move to SD option

a2sd with partitions and a2sd from the settings app are two totally different things. If you've done a2sd install with the terminal, you're good to go. a2sd from the settings app (Move app to SD Card) puts it in a special folder in your FAT partition. You've done the a2sd but android doesn't know it so you're fine.

what kind of data fill my phone storage ?
Ok, the button that says 'Move to SD card' is android a2sd. Ignore this button. The one that you run from the terminal is a script and goes to the ext4 partition you've already made.
As for the low storage, try wiping /cache from CWM. Tends to sort it.
