Hey everyone. I have MIUI 1.9.2 on my Nexus one, with tons of apps installed using A2SD+.
I would like to move to DATA2SD.
If i reflash my rom and run the a2sd killer script hten install data2sd, will that wipe out the data thats already on there? will i have to reinstall apps?
Thanks

I want to flash a new rom (probably Mik_os' 6.3)
Can I do it WITHOUT partitioning my sd card? I DO NOT want to run a2sd, apps2sd, data2sd or anything else.
Cheers

Take a nandroid backup before you install a custom ROM its a must !
Go through the custom rom's page and they will have their requirements posted.
I have installed andyt's [ROM] Gingerbread-2.3.4-rc2 @2011-05-22-21.00+GMT0 without partitioning sdcard. It worked and is working without any problem .. but have to install your custom apps u installled. and most of the non useful applicationos installed with the stock rom won't b available here ... if you want to use it ... then try Root Unistaller or My backup and backup the APK files and later install on your custom ROM.

[ROM] Gingerbread-2.3.4-rc2 @2011-05-22-21.00+GMT0
this ROM has sorted out my data connection problems with provider Uninor (India) on the stock ROM i tried but not worked.. now on your ROM is working with the same APN settings... Don't know what underlies.. But thanks to andy for his Hard work !
I have all my apps backed up with titanium, my APNs withAPN Backup & Restore, etc.
I'm just hoping I can run mik_os' ROM without patitioning and I dont want to read thru 400+ pages to find out.
Cheers
BTW, I'll be using clockworkmod recovery to install the ROM
If you're not gonna use app2sd or data2sd then you don't need the ext partition.

yep, you don't need to partition, and the ROM is compatible with cwm.
Sweet, thanks guys... about to flash now

download the rom n the a2sd tweak.. copy the cm7 rom and the a2sd tweak n also the google apps zip file. then boot into recovery. go to wipe.. wipe everything except battery stat n rotate settings.
then open flash zip from the card and flash cm7 rom. and a2sd and google apps too!
once u boot up into cm7 configure ur account and download a2sdgui from the market instructions would be given
once ure done!
download franco's kernel.. copy to sd. boot into recovery . wipe cache. and flash kernel
and u're good to go

thats not a2sd thats data2sd a2sd is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715940
thats why i get confused as mik recommend darktremor is ungaze data2sd stable as many faced probs and can i go wth an ext 1024 mb parttition insted of 512mb will it create any probs
no
not at al.
i have the rom in which the app 2 sd feature is already there. u want me to upload it.!
and if u convert ur partition into 512MB then it wudnt create any prblms
backup all data on card. becoz when u re-partition it u'll lose all ur data on ur SD card!
so better take care of that!

if u just have a clean 6.3 rom then al ur data would go into the internal storage.! and titanium restores all apps.! I've been using it since i flashed my 1st custom rom.. never lost my contacts n apps since then ! so works well for me
and if anything goes wrong u always have thee nandroid restore
You should also format /system and /data for clean install.

Hello, I Want to install a newer version of CM. Now I have CM7 RC1 with data 2 ext enabled. How to install nightly version of CM to keep my data2ext working?
Now I just flash a newer version with Rom Manager and always get the same space which I had with data2ext but the apps which were/are on data2ext are invisible and I cant open/find them...
eh, i'd like to know which is best too. i'm thinking...
uninstall apps (such that when data2ext is disabled, thereby "returning" apps to internal, your internal storage can handle the remaining installed apps)
disable data2ext
flash nb on top of existing
flash data2ext zip
enable data2ext
re-install removed apps from #1 via backup
wipe cache & dalvik, not sure if necessary though
haven't tried it as i usually flash roms after a clean wipe
Umm well I read this way on the Data2ext XDA page,
Not sure if its the right method, but I disable, flash rom, flash data2extra, enable. Works fine, but breaks widgets. Have to remove and re-add.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That method has worked for me, I've also done the following:
I updated Superuser the other day without disabling data2ext and everything stuffed up, I had to flash a fresh CM7 nightly build and then I had to flash Data2ext on again, I enabled it and it showed in Settings that I had my 800mb or whatever but there was no apps, so I went into CWM recovery and did an advanced restore from an older nandroid backup (that had Data2ext working) with most of my stuff, I restored the Data and SD Ext only, not System or anything so that I still had the new nightly build, booted up and bam, everything was back, with the new nightly.
I'm not sure what's easier, but I didn't have to re-add widgets the second way, and I 'think' it should work, but I haven't tried again since as no nightly has been worth updating to yet.
Im making this thread because I havent seen any other threads with the similar topic, maybe some more advanced users can spread there knowledge around about a2sd scripts or the like.....Ill share my experiences
Recently I wanted to give the new rom by neko95 (Razr-UI and GTR 6.0)....With Razr UI, I flashed the rom than went directly into recovery, partitioned the sdcard for 512mb and 32mb swap size, than for safety precautions, I rebooted into recovery and went ahead with flashing darktremor a2sd script, than I rebooted again....It took some time b4 it booted up but once it did, everything started force-closing, the entire UI was force-closing. I than tried once more with a clean wipe on everything, fresh install of the rom, re-partitioned the sdcard and attempted with using Ungaze, this time it never booted to UI, it just continued to bootloop with sound.....
I generally use S2E, as I feel it's moving everything to sdcard and free's up my phone internal space and allows for maximum applications, occasionally I will use ungaze and in which case I use Link2SD.Ive also used A2SDGUI as well when using Darktremors a2sd script...
Could some explain in detail what ext2/3/4 might be, which is better to use...I know by default Cyanogenmod Recovery use's ext3 or ext4 while amonra uses ext2....For these roms that have a2sd scripts already, what is the correct procedure on how to use these scripts ? Maybe an user could give some detailed explanations as to what a2sd scripts are, and how to use them....Which swap size is the best to use, how much would you recommend using if you have a 2/4 or 8gb sized sdcard, which script do you think is better ? Ive never used a rom without wanting to use these a2sd scripts because well the phone's internal storage is so small and after 5 applications installed without scripts it seems to slow the phone down drastically....Let's make this a tutorial from someone who's an expert on a2sd scripts
to add on to what I said, some roms seem to have difficulty with these scripts, maybe it's the user in which case im pretty sure it is, but than again..with OMFGB i was able to use Darktremors with no problems
In such case please help me with link2sd.
I linked all my apps using link2sd but still after sometime my phone memory is full?
But according to link2sd all are in sd.

I wish I could help you but I cant, I dont know enough about a2sd scripts to help anyone....Ive looked everywhere for an answer and cant seem to find it.....I know one of your roms says in changelog that a2sd is included, but im not sure how to use it...S2E is simple, you partition sdcard, flash script (darktremors) than reboot, go back into s2e application select the boxes ( I check em all) than reboot, after the 2nd reboot, everything is moved to sdcard. I dont know much about link2sd, I havent seen a tutorial on that application or anything

i dont use link2sd but i was using in CM9 and something similar apen my memory was full and link2sd said the apps are all in sdext but they werent only some files so i link all again and voila... try it ...
and s2e is the best option for cm9 or cm7 ....
Do you know how s2e and a2sdgui are specifically for darktremors a2sd script? I thought link2sd was just for ungaze...I was wrong...if you find a tutorial on how to use and how to get the most from link2sd, please share

no need of any partion in your sd card
by installation of this app it will automatically form a folder in ur sd and apps will store in that directly

You shouldn't have to just manage A2SD features in the Applications section of the CM-settings. (Settings - CyanogenMod - Applications)
Hello there...That might sound dumb but Im a newbie and you shall forgive me I took up phone hacking just a couple of days ago, trying to make some spare space in my internal memory, and I ended up messing with roms, adbs, codes, a2sd etc etc etc...I was driven mad. The result now, is a htc desire with 4.0.4 Beta 0.18.2 evervol rom, 2.6.38.8-evervolv-turba-ics kernel.
So Im getting to the point now After stabilizing my device, Im trying to figure out how the heck this a2sd works.
-I partitioned (thank god because I got rid of 2Gb garbage in my sd)
-Then I ran the command su a2sd install Y/N/Y
and everything seemed to run smoothly.
So now I cannot understand,
1)whether a2sd just moves (movable apps) from mobile to sd (which makes it useless since there is a built in function for that), or it writes the data of the apps stored in the mobile to sd
2) do I have to repeat the script every time I install a new app?
3) How can I move certain apps to the sd anyway? for example google maps and facebook?
Sorry for the long post. Xda has been really helpfull to me everytime I was VERY close to throwing my phone against a wall
AW: [Q] A2SD help
