if u have a ext4 partition u can use the S2E aplication ( it´s in market) to move dalvik and apps to sdExt
but i want to install the script, i have the ext4 partition
just install the the app and open it and you will see on the top the partition indentifyed. Then select the options and reboot with the option on the app
U mean Dta2sd?
Download beta 4 from here

Copy it on sd
Go to CWM Recovery
Mount and storage, u hv to mount /system.
Den install the .zip
Open terminal, type
su
a2sd install
It will reboot once. Done.
If u want to move dalvik cache to ext partition, den download a2sdgui from d market.

Following from this thread, I finally partitioned my sd card and had link2sd installed in my ace.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919326
I moved my apps using apps2sd. I found out there are some remaining data in the phone. Are those data : dalvik-cache (.dex) file and lib files (.so) ? Or those are the game saves data. So, if i use Link2SD, i can completely move those data to sd?
It shows an error when I try to start it.. I could not link any of the apps.
Mount Script Error
Mount script cannot be created.
mount: mounting /dev/block/vold/179:2 on data/sdext2 failed: Device or resource busy

my 2nd partition is on fat32
did u create both partition as primary?
btw i still think link2sd is buggy and annoying. at least in my experience. sometimes it fails to mount partition during booting and just prompt to reboot, or the moved app wouldnt even show in app drawer.
A2SD works perfectly for me.. There aren't many functions as Link2SD but it does the job..

Yes, both are primary as guided from the thread. :S
So any other than link2sd that can fully move an apps including it's data etc. My internal memory getting full soon.
Pahan88, is App2SD free same thing as A2SD?
here if we said a2sd or app2sd it generally means dartremore a2sd. u need to be rooted, and if ur on gingerbread u need to use kernel which support init.d script which is ketut's cfroot kernel. darktremore a2sd can move apps, data and dalvik cache to sdcard
edited: sorry, just realize ur thread title said cm7 kang. ur already rooted and using cfroot. u just need to flash darktremore a2sd via recovery
Thanks.. Do you mind showing me the right thread? I did a search and there are so many threads about it.. I dont even know which one is the right one.
partition ur sdcard with two partition, both primary. 1st partition as fat32 and 2nd partition as ext2/ext3/ext4
get the flashable zip file from its thread here
put it in sdcard, boot into cwm and choose to mount system and mount data.
choose to install zip from sdcard and flash the earlier zip file.
get terminal emulator from market, open it and do
Code:
su
a2sd reinstall
and ur phone will reboot.
when it boot up, open terminal again and do
Code:
su
a2sd cachesdreset
to move dalvik cache to sdcard, or
Code:
su
a2sd datasd
to move data to sdcard
Hi, I got a new sd card 4gb. But I partitioned using CWM. I checked through MiniTool Partition Wizard, it didnt show any 2nd partition but it did shows reduced MB. Partition via CWM is ok?
And no-one points the poor guy to s2e
Hi there. I saw the information there. Sounds so simple.. Is there anything I should know before I try it? And im not a guy btw.. THanks ^^

Sorry, but Yea its that simple But if your a frequent backup/restorer kind of person, using advanced mode may get very confusing and you will get force closes as it brings anything you moved to SD-EXT. Don't worry about the Cache size and ext4 journaling in the settings.
to use link2sd with CM7 KANG rom .just mount the second partition as ext3 format.link2sd will work.

Well, reboot in recovery -> advanced -> partition (NOTE: EVERYTHING WILL BE ERASED!!! BACKUP IF NEEDED)
Then boot again, go to Link2SD, select ext4 and reboot.
If you can't link then, try menu -> recreate mount script -> ext3
Press thanks!
I know with a2sdgui, it asks for an a2sd script before it's working, I've never used link2sd before, to OP I followed what the guy above me said than downloaded darktremors a2sd zip script than flashed it than used a2sdgui to move apps to sd-ext, zipaligned and moved and rebuilt dalvik cache and it's been working flawlessly for me, but to respect what above user mentioned, whatever works best for you... There's ungaze and darktremor a2sd script on these forums, do the search on goggles for em

I dun prefer using as2d scripts as they also move gapps to sd,, link2sd worked best for me on stock ROM..
I've been using darktremor and a2sd GUI, but after I flash the phone GUI a2sd get an error.
A2SD exiting the GUI:
A. your device is not rooted
2. Script A2SD Could not be found
3. EXT no partition found
What should I do?
[Solved] must to mount data, system and ext when you flash a2sd, or if you get a2sd error after flashing custom room take a try to flash new a2sd script... thanks to svennen and yagyagaire for explain me.

You did it wrong.
Reboot your device in CWM recovery and then mount your data and system by going to mounts and storage>>mount /data and mounts and storage>>mount /system options respectively.
Now go back to main menu and go to install zip from sd>>choose zip from sdcard option and select the a2sd.

Try partitioning it with cwm or format ur second partition in cwm.

[LINK BACK]
While installing rom people often ask for link2sd or s2e support
As of enabling Dark tremor app2sd is difficult for them....
I did an extensive research and came up successful in using and applying it....
I would like to share it here....
####
Before beginning it is assumed that you have a custom clockwork mod recovery and a custom rom is installed on your device. Alternatively, if you are in a stock firmware/rom and want to partition your sd card please Install Clock Work Mod Recovery and Flash a Custom Rom on your device. Also since partitioning your sd card will erase all your data stored in sd card, it is recommended that you backup your data to your computer. Now that you have backed up your data please follow these simple instructions to partition your sd card and install Darktremor App2sd script on your android smart phone.
PARTITIONING SD CARD
_________________________________
1. Reboot your device into Clockwork Mod Recovery.
2. Go to Advance>>Partition SD Card option on your recovery and select a size (for ext 3 partition). This will create an ext 3 file system partition on your sd card called sd-ext. The size of your sd-ext partition should be determined on the basis of how much apps and games you are going to install on your device.
i have 1 Gb sd-ext on 8 gb memory ...
3. Also, select swap partition size as 0 Mb (select 64 or more for gaming purpose)
4. [Optional] Format your sd-ext from mounts and storage>>fromat /sd-ext option in CWM recovery.
5. Reboot your device and open a terminal emulator or shell commander and type in the following command to make sure that your second partition (aka sd-ext partition) is mounted at boot.
mount | grep sd-ext
You should see the following code:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /sd-ext type ext3 (rw,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1,nodelalloc,data=ordered)
INSTALLING DTAPPS2SD
___________________________________________
6. Now download Darktremor Apps2SD (link bottom) and copy it to your sdcard.
7. Reboot your device in CWM recovery and then mount your data and system by going to mounts and storage>>mount /data and mounts and storage>>mount /system options respectively.
8. Now go back to main menu and go to install zip from sd>>choose zip from sdcard option and select the dtapps2sd-2.7.5.3-beta04-signed.zip file you downloaded from above.
9. After the script is installed reboot your device.
That’s all. You have successfully installed Darktremor Apps2SD on your device .
Note that the device will reboot again after you reboot your device. This is just to move all your apps to the second partition (sd-ext partition) and is normal.
Also if you want to manage your Apps2SD settings you can either use commands in terminal emulator or download the APPS2SDGUI application from market and manage everything from there. One of the useful command can be a2sd help. Try it on any terminal to see the help file that comes with Darktremor A2SD.
How to check if Apps2SD has been installed correctly...
________________________________________
The following information is for those who are still unsure of whether Apps2SD has been installed and if it is working correctly after root.
Open a Terminal Editor on your phone
When you have the client open, type "su" to gain super user access, and then hit enter. Now type "ls -l /data" and hit enter. You should see a few lines, a couple of which should read on the far right column:
dalvik-cache -> /system/sd/dalvik-cache
app-private -> /system/sd/app-private
app -> /system/sd/app
Notice the -> indicating symlinks and the 'sd'
You can also run: busybox df -h to check the /system/sd that the folder is being used
If this output is visible to you, then Apps2SD is working properly and you have installed it correctly. You will notice that by checking Menu > Settings > SD & phone storage, there is still some internal memory going down due to cache, other data, etc, but the main apps all go on the SD card given the above result. I currently have 29 apps installed (including Google Earth, which is 22.1 MB in size itself) and my internal memory currently shows 119MB of available space.
You can perform more extensive checks by executing the following command:
ls /system/sd/app (this will list all the apps which you have installed to the SD card)
CONFIGURING APPS2D
_________________________________________________________
open terminal emulator,, and type the following:
• a2sd check : Checks a2sd status; displays information incl. where your apps, cahce and data are stored.
• a2sd cachesd : Moves dalvik cache to sd-ext partition.
• a2sd nocache : Moves dalvik cache back to internal storage.
• a2sd data2sd : Move /data/data to /sd-ext/data .
• a2sd nodata : Move /sd-ext/data back to internal storage.
• a2sd remove : Moves apps back to internal storage and sets no a2sd flag.
or u can simply use app2sdgui to do things.. a help is given in app just proceed on installing the app and go to help menu
PRECAUTIONS: tips you should take in mind
________________________________________
After installing Darktremor Apps2SD don’t move your apps to sdcard either from Manage Applications Settings or by using app2sd pro or similar applications because it will ruin all your settings and your script will not work .
Also you may notice that your used space in internal storage shown in Manage Applications Setting is not decreasing even after you install Apps2SD and you may think that the script is not working. But remember if you followed all the instructions from above and got the same results as explained above then the script is working. It is shown so because system is fooled to believe that the apps are in internal storage but in reality they are stored in the secondary partition we created (i.e. in /sd-ext/app folder) on your device.
HAPPY INSTALLING APP2SD script...

dont use manage applications to move apps.. ..... just use the commands or better download the a2sd gui app(easy to use than using terminal emulator) from playstore.. dta2sd itself moves ur app to sd card.... ... rest can be read from the post

yep it will affect ur sd-card somewhat...the effect is after long duration and for good quality sd-cards is very low......4-6 years time........ as the applications try to continuosly use the data sector on the sd-card..........
BUT ITS practical to use... so dont worry
