Hey guys, i have partitioned my sdcard ext3 to ext4 then installing megatron rom to enable the darktremor app2sd. I did that, but why still get this "insufficient space storage" and i cant install any apps anymore.
The funny thing is that i check in both settings and app2sd app, my phone memory space available is 41.09mb but says insufficient storage?

in app manager u can move some of them to sd
and some app require a lot of free space so u can install them (specialy some games)
I have already move all my movable apps to my sd. But now if i try to install games from market it says "installation unsuccesful" and in the market it says "insufficient storage". But its funny my phone memory available is 30mb but why it says not enough memory???
So i have to uninstall some apps that saved in phone memory to free some space and install a new apps which i dont want to do. Please help.
Or maybe pls teach me the correct way step by step to partitioned my sd card and to enabled the darktremor apps2sd. I just want to install as many apps i want without worrying about insufficeint space storage. Please... i want to be a happy androidians

The partitioning depends on the rom you-re using. But probably you'll need around 512 Mb of ext partition, i recommend ext2 if youre using stock rom, or ext4 if going on Void/Megatron. And 0 swap. That's kinda all you need. Just install a2sd app, or make the a2sd folder in void/settings and reboot (if you're on void).
Take care of what apps you move on the SD, as important and often used apps behave better on the phone memory. So do not move apps with widgets, background running apps.
PS Try a full wipe from recovery and then reinstall Megatron/Void with a2sd
You could also try clearing the browser cache settings>applications>manage applications>all> scroll down to browser an tap clear cache. I have ~7mb browser cache size after about 10 minutes of internet browsing
After installing the script must run commands in Terminal emulator:
su(allow)
a2sd cachesd (phone reboot) - it will transfer the cache to SD
if use a2sd 2.7.5.3 after loading:
su
a2sd datasd (phone reboot) - it will transfer folder "data" to SD
check the status of:
su
a2sd check
Please please me teach me accurately STEP BY STEP.
Im using megatron rom, someone said darktremor app2sd already in the megatron rom but u need to partition thing first, i did that. But maybe i did a mistake? So please teach me again step by step whatever it takes even if i have to format/wipe my data and reinstall megatron rom or whatsoever. Thank you.
Waiting for reply

Ok here what i do for more details.
First i partitioned my sd card, 512mb and 0 thing, then ext2 to ext3 and ext3 to ext4. Then i wipe my data. Then i install the megatron rom then i install mik os kernel. And finally reboot.
Tell me did i do any wrong to enabled the darktremor app2sd? Or maybe i missed something? Please help guys

U should flash miks kernel after rebooting atleast once ...
not all kernels support ext4,Be careful

The problem is some apps can't be moved from phone memory ,so u will still have low memory when installing a lot of apps ! What u did is correct and have no problem at all

Okie...I flashed the xwks9 rom using odin last night.also installed cwm,cf-root kernel and converted the filesystem to ext4. Phone is faster than before.
Can you please advise what should I do next. I am not able to use swap. It says command not found. Why?

Hi @nishantmnit...
1. Be carefull using "A2SD" @DarkTremor... many users have reported issues involving various roms (bootloops, Partitions refusing to mount etc.). I use Link2sd too & would recommend no other...
Swap partitions act in the same way as a Pc page file... It is used as a kind of virtual ram... In theory it should speed up data access for apps & the OS but in practice all it does is create additional cpu cycles where the system must move data to & from the partition (swap)... This is additional work load & translates basically to the system running slightly slower not faster as would be expected (unless your cpu is 1ghz +), only then would you see possible benefits...
So in short, the "ACE" does not need a swap partition, it will only slow things down... Stick with Link2sd, move user apps to Ext.3 partition, create symbolic links for system apps (if it allows, not all are allowed) & any apps that cannot be moved to sd normally.
FYI : Use CWM 4/5 recovery mode to format & partition your sd card... When asked choose 0m swap partition & your good...hehe
Hope this hellps dude...
Stay Breezy n Be Lucky...
Pe"ACE"...
Thanks a lot reaper

I have converted my internal file system to ext4.
Currently I am using fat partition for link2sd. Shud i change it to ext4 or ext3? Advantage?
Is there anyway to avoid re-installation of apps required after converting the partition from fat to ext?

Hey @nishantmnit...
Helping is what XDA is all about...
You don't want to move apps to ext.4 as this is internal system memory & would defeat the object of what you are trying to achieve (more free internal memory).
Create mount script for Ext.3 which is your Sd partition... All Dalvik & Lib information will be stored here also as default.
As far as app compatibility after conversion, I do not know...? You could always try to backup apps using "Titanium backup", then restoring them using the same after the file system conversion... sorry I can't help you further with this question... I'll see if any other family member can answer this for you ok...?

One again thanks reaper...but my question was something different.
I am wondering I shud create an ext4 or ext3 partition to be used by link2sd. Hence apps dalvik and lib will reside on this new partition on sdcard not on internal memory.
Currently am using fat partition with link2sd as ext modules were missing prior to flashing cf root kernel.
I still cannot see ext3 module. however, ext4 module is there. I m not sure ext3 ll work or not.
Please advise.

Hi @nishantmnit...
Sorry for the late reply (Family business, New Years eve & all that. ..hehe).
When you run Link2sd it will ask you where to create mount script... If you choose any Ext. other than Ext.3 then Link2sd will return an error... It will only allow you to create a mount script for Ext.3 (which is sd Ext.).
backup your sd root entirely... Use CWM to partition & prepare sd card, Move backup back onto sd root, reboot phone, run Link2sd, choose create mount script on Ext.3, reboot phone, Move apps etc.... All is good...
I don't think you need to see an Ext.3 module as it is an External location not a system location per se & I think Link2sd does the hard work as it must stay in system memory to work correctly... Also keep launchers & themes in memory as moving them can create lag when the system has to access sd partition to recover data for them...
If I am still mis-understanding what you mean then I am at a loss to answer you... (sorry)...

I am very happy...converted the second partition to ext3 last night and good news is now yhe second partition gets mounted at the time of reboot...which means quick reboot in link2sd is no longer required. I had been craving for this for a long time.

"partition " u mean
u can partition your sd card using cwm 5 ...they are many you tube guides go watch them ...and for installation of apps on sd card why dont u use "S2E" ...its free in the market and compatible ONLY with cm7 ...it saves a lot of internal storage ( move dalvik cache to sd card) cheers
Edit: you should remember that cwm will FORMAT your sd card!!! backup your data first!!!!

From my experience i can say that if you have slow sd card it's better not to use a2sd or swap
What class u have ?
Anyway in minicm10 Settings>Performance>Memory Management(or smth like that) and there should be a2sd(ext) settings

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.

I understand from that when run "a2sd install" as root in terminal apps will move to SD card
And I must run this command when I install a new app?
Nope, it will do it automatically. Every app you install is moved to /sd-ext by the phone, no user required.

now, i see some apps "with big size" moved to SD but now when i try to install big app there was an error message show to me "not enough space in phone memory" !!!
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.
