how to install app2SD on LG GT540 (android 1.6)
If you update to 2.1 then it's meant to work. There's a guide on Modaco on how to do it.
I am only passing on information that I have searched (mainly through Modaco) for and tried and tested. This is by no means my creation or discovery! And also...dont sue me if you mess your phone up!
First of all, you must be rooted!
Best thing to do before installing apps2sd is to do a factory data reset.
There has been discussions on whether apps2sd overwrites the phones factory defaults. I think the problem lays in an old script of apps2sd, perhaps there is a new on out... I couldnt tell ya! Anyhow, this is not really a problem if you want apps2sd permanently on your phone though. So remember, start from scratch, reset your data.
1. Partition your sdcard and make 3 partition on it.
Example: sdcard is 1 GB
1st partition in FAT32 600mb
2nd partition in ext2 300mb
3th partition as swap 100mb
Im not sure if the swap partition is needed but I made it anyway.
2. Copy the apps2sd folder to the root of the sdcard.
Example: /sdcard/app2sd/
3. Connect your phone from ADB and type this command :
adb shell
su (approve with superuser aplication in your phone)
sh /sdcard/app2sd/app2sd.sh
After a while your phone will reboot.
4. Now check how much internal memory you have (I had 135mb after my clean install of apps2sd. I have never had that much after a factory reset, a hard reset or a flash).
And there you have it folks!
tutorial : how to insert app2sd in optimus
first, im sorry for my english
for app2sd on optimus, you must have root level.
before install app2sd, please check you internal memory (setting-sd card & phone storage)
and remember your free space. biggrin.gif
step:
1.Partition your sdcard (i use paragon manager)
make 3 partition on your sd card.
example : your sdcard is 4 GB
1st partition in FAT32 3 GB
2nd partition in ext2 700mb
3th partition swap 300 mb
2.download this file mediafire[dot]com/?2os3np35b0fmc60
3.extract the download file
Added automatic installation app2sd. Just run APP2SD.bat
Unnecessary SDK TOOLS
what happen in your memory?
good luck

swap like a virtual memory may be.
i think phone need a virtual memory for app2sd.
Swap is like a linux swap (as in swap space for the RAM), but from what I read, it's not actually needed
Ah I see! Well thanks for that info. Its a bit too late now lol but atleast I know for next time. Thanks

Hey, I have an unlocked LG Optimus, if I set it to factory default will that lock it again? Or can I do this without setting my phone to factory default?
Old post but for reference's sake, am posting this here.
I used MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition for making the partition.
I had a 16GB microSDHC but I made only a 512mB ext2 and left the rest as FAT32.
GT540 was designed to handle only 140mB of usable internal memory. So, making a huge ext2 partition will considerably slow down your phone. I would recommend to keep it below 512mB. Most often, you won't install more than 200-300mB worth of apps. Most games have their extra data downloaded to the SD and only apk and dex files reside in the phone.
And, I found that Link2SD was better than apps2sd. I never used apps2sd because by the time I wanted apps2sd, Link2SD was out. Check it out.

i am having 8 GB memory card. can you please tell me the steps how to do partion..
why dont you just put 2.2 or 2.3 on your phone. the roms are available in the developer forum.
I found installing cm7 made it work. Although i lost the functionality of my camera app2sd worked other than that it is a great rom.
I agree, link2sd is far more better than apps2sd.
Also u need to upgrade ur firmware from 1.6 and 2.1 to higher roms, 2.3 is good.
So to fully use ur android,root your device, install a rom manager, then clockworkmod and superuser, there you can enjoy.

have sd 8gb, partitioned, link2sd
most custom ROM's have moved the market download cache to the /data partition. I suggest you use a 2.2 or 2.3 ROM instead, since now they are rather stable already.
it really not the market download apps.. the app is already in my SD, installing is the problem..
I also have this problem on custom ROM. Tried installing Cordy(the game).
Sent from my U20i using xda
i often have this problem: There is an app2sd-gui DT script included in the rom... and this automatically places apps to the fat partition on the sd card ..
now, i always partition my sdcards with a second ext4 partition and prefer to use that one as an sd-ext directory and use linking to place my apps and all the stuff on my sd.
This allows me to use virtually unlimited storage and keep my internal memory completely free... (i also have a htc wildfire with CM7 and this setup; there i have about 70 apps installed. the internal memory has about 10 MB in use with some files i really wanted to have there so they always start fast like go keyboard, go contacts ex and my ringtones / alarm sounds. All other files are on my 16 gb sd card)
With a lot of the roms i've been trying i just can't get this working on my galaxy ace... especially the ICS roms i can't see my EXT4 partition as /SD-EXT for some reason, but often it gets mounted as /System/SD and thus link2sd cannot use my second partition.
Especially if app2sd is builtin as a system app this seems to be a problem. Has anyone ideas on how i could get this working again with these roms?

You have to edit the a2sd-script wich should be located in /etc/init.d/
But using "Link2sd" would be much easier. It is a well structured app and the usage is simple, because the first time (when you open the app) you have to choose your partition and the mountscript will be created automatically.
You can get Link2SD from this xda-thread or the play store

sd-ext is for CYANOGENMOd only...in stock based rom's u wont find a sd-ext..so s2e wont work.... but charmingly link2sd works....
now if it isn't working what shall u do???
-- if it says mount script not created,, partiotion is busy,,,, reflash the rom or i tried flashing another rom on wich link2sd worked and then reflashing the rom u want... install link2sd apk.. choose ext4 partition reboot.... (it works u can switch from cm7 to stock it wont be a problem)
- if ur sd-ext partition is of ext3 type,,, still choose ext4 on link2sd partition type screen

I always try to use links2sd; but if app2sd(gui) is installed it won't work.
I'd like to edit the init.d 'mount' script, but i don't know how to open thiis since it always says it cannot be found when i try to open it for editing or even for reading.
(i'm trying to open it with an app that has SU rights like Total Commander)
i have some experience with android and installing custom roms ; but i don't have real experience with editing files in a live OS.
Or should i edit the files in the APK before installing it? (isn't this going to break the APK's CRC-key rendering the file unusableN)
I already thank you guys for reading and sharing your knowledge...
I found it
I could edit the mountsd file in the original ZIP (which is not a crc'ed APK )
then reflash my device.
I removed everything in the mountsd file except this;
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
#
# mount ext partition from sd card
(so this is what's left)
then i installed S2E & Link2SD, i let link2sd initialize it's scripts and pataboom; i got access again after the next reboot of my device ... finally i have a galaxy ace with unlimited space (or at least kinda limitless compared to the 120mb you get)
i was so used to the big space since it worked like a shine on my htc wildfire (like 60+ apps and only a few mb in use by some apps i really wanted on the internal memory so they start up fast anytime (no interference when other apps are running/starting).
I really love link2sd since it allows you to put apps on external memory and still use the widgets/services/.... while app2sd can't do that
thx again for your help guys! (although i did a lot of fo the job myself too
Hello guys!
1 month ago I had this problem with my LG l9, i had loads of memory free but whenever I tried to install any apps it would tell me I didn't have any storage available. I am rooted. I restored my phone and nothing happened. Then, I managed to install storage analyser, and saw that one of the folders was taking up like 10GB of space and the app was telling me I only had -8GB of space (yes, negative!)
I deleted the folder (from gameloft) and then I managed to install some apps. Now i have the same problem. Some apps install perfectly, like riptide 2, even if they are huge, and some small apps like chrome and google play music don't
What can I do to fix it? Restoring won't help and neither does storage analyser....

Have you tried Link2SD? If not, it does work. I just set it up on my P769. First you'll need to enable init.d support. Just create a folder named 'init.d' in /system/etc. You will also need to partition your SDCARD so that is has two partitions. A primary FAT32 partition and a primary ext2, ext3, or ext4 partition. The second partition is the one Link2SD will actually use. I have a 32 GB SDCARD with 3 partitions. FAT32 partition is 27 GB, 1st ext4 partition is 4 GB, and the 3rd partition is 1 GB for SWAP if I get around to seeing if SWAP works with the stock kernel or not. SWAP is not necessary and more than likely is NOT supported by the stock kernel anyway.
I'd suggest looking in to the Link2SD thread prior to attempting this.
Hey guys .Using link2sd i freed up tons of space for new apps.However i wanted to install Mortal Kombat X on my phone.I have partitioned 15 GB as EXT4. But i am not able to download it form Google store due to less space on my phone memory(about 1.17gigs):angel:
I also have FolderMount.So is there any way to manually install the obb file to the 2nd partition first then install the app? PLEASE SOMEONE ANSWER.THANKS A LOT!!:good:
