Hi, I have upgraded my x10a to 2.3 Cyanogen but I don't like the stock camera it has. I miss my old camera (in 1.6 or 2.1 version). Is it possible to have that camera installed in 2.3? I don't want to go back to 2.1 to have it.
I've found some disadvantages with this new camera:
1. Zoom buttons don't work neither on video or camera mode (I changed the settings and rebooted it but not fixed yet).
2. Shutter screen touch mode is not available.
3. Burst & self-timer options are not available in camera in 2.3
I have tried others camera app like FX, pudding, magic camera... but none seems to have all features in one.
Thanks for any suggestion
its known that camera in cyanogenmod has its faults,but why just you dont keep the 2.3.3???? and just upgrade the things you want,like facebook inside xperia 2 and the swype keyboard from 2.3.4,just my humble opinion
Having a similar trouble with JP MIUI v6. All the customization is great but losing the ability to zoom is killing me. I'm thinking of going back to 2.3.3 stock until i find a way around it. I was really sad to hear @gm007 had a new phone and was no longer working on his mod because it really rocks.
I started modifying my cell coz I wanted to move apps to my SD. my cell's memory is not that big (500 and something) so everytime it gives the error of not enough space and I had to delete some apps to release some space... do u know if 2.3.3 allows moving apps to SD? I tried app2sd when I had 2.1 but SD partition is needed. After sd partitioned the app don't recognize the partition and it said unable to move... I guess I have to sacrifice one feature for another. Thanks 4 any suggestions

All 2.2.x up roms support native apps to SD. A stock 2.3.3 rom will move the apps to the SD Card. App2sd, link2sd and S2E all require a second partition to link to, but you can move dalvik and lib files also so you pretty much have unlimited app storage. On native android those files will be stored internally eventually filling up your internal storage.

you can move apps since 2.2,also with adb mask controller you can set the default location to install apks to sd card.

First of all, thank you the developers who bring about the GingerDX, one of the greatest ROMs for Mini Pro on this forum. It is fast and stable.
However, the full functions of Link2SD seem not to work in this ROM, if any steps I am missing.
1. After linking apps to SD, the apps cannot function at all and were forced to close, even Link2SD app itself.
2. Initially I could move the apps, dalvik-cache together with libraries to SD on ROMs such as Froyobread or Slade's CM6, but only apps can be moved to SD now using Link2SD on GingerDX.
Does anyone encounter the same problems and have subsequently solved them? In light of limited internal storage in our devices, being able to move as many as possible the app files will certainly save the day. Please provide kind assistance in this, efforts appreciated.
Also, apart from Link2SD, all custom ROMs based on the CMs come with the 'Install Location' for selection built-in the Settings. Does it work like Link2SD, since the number of internal storage did not seem to change, in spite of having set it to 'External'?
Thank you!
Hi,
I had HTC Desire before Android Froyo has been released and those days was said need to some hacks (think after root?) to move apps from internal memory to SD card. Also was said Google will add this feature to later Android versions natively.
I've searched on the forum and found some topics but still have below questions:
from which android version does it support App2SD exactly? Is there any improvement for native App2SD in later versions? (i.e gingerbread toward froyo)
Does this feature remain in all other Android versions that come later?
According to this post there are 3 kind of App2SD: Froyo A2SD, Legacy A2SD, Legacy A2SD+ ; while that post was for September 2010 is there any change in this manifest? which one is better?
I read costume ROMs need to be compatible with App2SD so we can enable it on them. Is it enough that a ROM has App2SD compatibility/feature or we need do some works and/or install apps to use App2SD on the phone?
I saw different apps and tricks to move apps like these:
Moving ANY app to SD on FroYo (or how to Enable all grayed out 'Move to SD' buttons)
[APP][Froyo][root] Move2SD Enabler - ex SetInstallLocation
[App] Link2SD
What's the comprehensive App2SD app yet? Should we install an app for this purpose ever?
As 'bakpinar' said in this post:
bakpinar said:
Instead of moving all applications to SD card with app2sd, I want to move only selected applications.
Because I don't want to move my launcher, soft keyboard and dialer application to SD and make them unavaliable on boot if my SD card has problem or not inserted.
In order to resolve this I developed an application called Link2SD.

It's not wise to move launcher, soft keyboard and dialer application to SD and make them unavaliable on boot if my SD card has problem or not inserted.
Now what if I am going to move all apps except these 3 mother app and don't want to select all new apps and current apps to move on SD card? any solution here?
Finally I have rooted HTC Desire HD with Android Revolution HD ROM.
Special Thanks for taking time to read this post.

Any answer will be so appreciated and helpful

1. The official way to move applications to SD, as provided my the standard Android sources is part of Android 2.2 (Froyo)... I'm not sure if any modifications have been made afterwards.
2. You can now also move /data/data to SD with DarkTremor... that's about the only thing that has changed AFAIK. Better is a relative term. DarkTremor (which is the new name for the "hackish" A2SD method, to avoid confusion with Android's own support) moves more data, but it requires a special partition and is generally a LOT more fragile. However it does move more data to the SD card, leaving more internal memory available. I've tried DarkTremor and was not satisfied with the stability, but different people may come up with different results here.
3. You need a script like DarkTremor to actually do the dirty work. Prepared only means that the ROM will mount the partition, but nothing more.
4. a)/b) this still uses the native Froyo method, it just overrides the do-not-move flag. It is VERY stable.
4. c) this is a special flavor of the DarkTremor method that instead moves individual applications, but otherwise comes with the same (dis)advantages.
5. You'd still use "4. c)"... that's just a slight UI difference. The difference is that standard DarkTremor makes it impossible to let anything remain in internal memory.
Thanks soooo mauch.
I'd wish I could press thank button more than 1 time
So the most comprehensive method is DarkTremor still now? But to make some mother apps available even when there isn't SD card too, we should use Link2sd app. Did I get it true?
No problem.
Basically yes... but I've never tried Link2sd, so I can't comment on how well the application itself works...
Thanks again.
Hello,
today i wanted to install a new sd-card with higher transfer-class in my minipro.
Because of using stock-rom before some days I had an ext2-partition on the old sd-card and all apps where located there.
Now I'm using miniCM7 Pro v10 and so I decided to move all apps to sd-partition, then make a full copy of the old sd-partition to the new sd-card and then copy some system-apps like launcher back to the internal memory of my phone because of performance.
Until partition-copy at PC everything worked fine. But now I can't move the system-apps back to system-memory. App2SD says it's not possible because there is not enough free memory.
But in internal memory are still 155Mb.
Where ist the problem?
I can't let the apps stay on sd-card. I can't use any of my widgets, launcher doesn't list them.

You don't need ext2 in this ROM, because it's native app2sd. format sd card, just with one pastisi and impossible to move the application system to the sd card.
That was the reason for me to do that what I did.
Before doing that all apps where on these ext2-partition as "past pollution" of the stock rom. But the new app2sd of custom rom thought the apps where on internal memory and couldn't notice that it was an external ext2-partition.
Thats why I copyed all installed apps (not the hole system) with app2sd to the sdcard-partition and so on.
Now the Problem is still there... I can't move apps from sdcard-partition to phone with app2sd...

check free memory in the system ROM with Titanium Backup.
Application systems and applications built ROM is here, if it,s full. deleting unused aplication or unnecessary aplication.
System-ROM: 18,8Mb free
Intern: 138Mb free
SD-Card: 3,2Gb free
An I thought Apps would be installed on "intern", isn't it?
Wherefore else is Intern?
Well, for those who is already using a large /data, please ignore this.
For those who need an easy access to install a lot of apps with limited /data confused: 320M available on phone??? 10 games could fill that space!!)
Please read the following, and try on your own risk.
----Let me tell a story first----
My girl nees a lot of apps on her Ray, and is always complaining about the limited space on /data, and asked if I can make her phone a large /data like my Desire. Well, I have searched a lot without any appliable methods, or I was just fooling around?
Indeed, links2sd is appliable, but that is annoying if you need lots of apps, some of which can be hardly moved to sd.
Could there be an easy access? After that I started to try those scripts that I tried for my Desire. I have tried custom MTD partition method, but there is no Recovery that supports MTD, and SONY itself could not be easily make customed MTD.
So I tried 10+ scripts to mount /data on EXT(one by one!), from a normal apps2sd script, apps2sdx, etc., all prove invalid or some just make her Ray brick.
Every time Ray refused to boot, I have to restore /system, then tried another script.
Finally, I found this, mounts2sd script.
Sorry I forget whose this script it belongs to. I just borrowed it and it worked well on Ray, at least on her Ray, now she gets about 60 non-system apps...
----End of my story----
Main steps include:
1. partition SD-CARD. an EXT partition is needed. I gave her a 1G ext4, possibly large enough for about 100 apps.
(ps. your SD-card is better to be a fast one, like Class6+; I gave her a Class 10 Kingston...)
2. install your rom, and a bootable 3rd-party boot other than the original one. I tried this on official ICS rom with a moded boot with touch recovery, sorry I forget which it was, but the boot must be int.d supportive. (PS: the BOOT I used for the Official ICS ROM is in post #4.)
3. **an Nandroid Backup is strongly recommended before flasing this zip.**
4. flash this zip View attachment mounts2sd-signed.zip without any wipe. Then restart and see if it works.
*5. if this didn't work or caused any problem on boot, please restore at least /system. Perhaps this script isnot appliable for your Ray or just your boot.
-------------------------------
Pleas try this on your own risk, and report back so that other users know whether it could work.
Sorry for my poor English. Hope what I've written intelligible.
I'll update this this thread on post #2
reserve this for updates. Forgive me...

Well, after you got your Ray BL-unlocked (and maybe rooted), you can flash any BOOT.img in fastboot, then flash official ICS rom(in zip format, you can search it yourself), with that BOOT (the one in Post #4) or any other BOOT that support int.d, you can try flashing the package in #1 in recovery without any wipe, then reboot your Ray and see...
I messed around with this in the past and even tried changing the partition sizes on the Ray - all with less than ideal outcomes and I eventually gave up.
All I do now (on ICS) is go into apps, select one and hit 'Move to SD Card' - large apps are automatically installed on SD Card if they won't fit on internal memory. Currently have 231MB of apps on phone and 332MB on the SD card - and all the SD card is usable, I've not 'lost' space to the non-windows writable partition that isn't being used at that time.
Don't think there's any "Right" way of doing it, but I just found this easier than messing around with partitioning.

That's why I said this to be a method for lazier persons like me and my girl.
She doesn't mind the EXT partition "eating up" 1G of her SD card leaving it "unfunctionable", and the card I gave her Ray is fast enough to run the apps and large enough for her.
Seems this method is more complex than link2sd.
Link2sd can run on rooted stock rom (locked bootloader) with ext support.

Well, Link2sd is an app... Mounts2sd is a script, to a large extent.
I'm Not going to debate about their advantages or disadvantages.
Just share my experience with you...
you using wrong way i think friends
i think using another way is fastly..
u can use which rom u want but you have to delete what you dont want from ROM Memory..
You can use Root Explorer for this job.
For exp. I use Rayonium Rom already have about 150 mb free.. But i delete gmaps gtalk and some unusefull addons for me and i save about 250 mb.
Then there are some applicatioons which i won't delete anytime for example my special launcher, dolphin brow. some newspapers , mp3 players , markets, video players .. photo applications and etc what you want..
You will move from internal memory/ data/ app / to
Rom memory system / app /
Then it mean those applications will be in ur Custom Rom so if you wipe factory reset you wont lose your applications..
If you wanna use this way and still cant understand how to do i can explain it much better.. Hope u thx
You move only application which you can't move SD card...

I quite understand your method. Rooted ROM has lots of freedom in apps, but I just put forward my alternative method to make it easier for those lazy guys like me and my girl who don't want the trouble of moving apps to anywhere and just keep it default. By the way, some apps can't be simply moved to ROM, eg. Titanium Backup, it causes FC if you move it to rom, also hope you could understand.
Of course, this method needs extra space on the SD card, along with its requirement of the SD-card's R/W speed...
Anyway, thanks for discussion...
Hi there,
I've got a problem.
After I moved some apps to SD Card (using Link2SD or Titanium Backup), they are gone from home screen, app drawer list,and even in the list of installed apps they still missing. However, the files are still in disk but for some reasons, the OS cant detect them.
They only came back (to home screen and app drawer) after I perform Hot Boot.
Could you please explain why that was happening?
And how to avoid that problem?
I am using 4.1.2 Wanamlite XWLSW and Philz kernel 5.06.
Thanks,
I'm not really familiar with moving apps to other storages. But I'd recommend you to leave them where they are. Our SGS2 has storage for hundreds of apps. Plus they are slower if you move them and widgets won't work anymore.
Edit: Almost forgot about that: Big games automatically store their data on sd-card so there's no need to move them since the apps size itself is rather small

Thanks, but if I dont move them, my Internal storage will be empty and I cant do some of basic functions (ex: take camera pictures, download documents, take screenshots, etc). Moving apps gives me some space in internal storage (maybe around 100 MB).

I tried that but still doesnt work.
I tried using Link2SD and Titanium Backup, but after reboot normally, they are still gone. I tried Smart Launcher, but they stil didnt appear. Because they were listed as uninstalled. The files are there, but the system doesnt load them. Must still do hot reboot first before the system loads them.
I guess I'll take 1 example for disappearing app, this information taken from Link2SD (after Hot Boot):

just open settings>manage apps and under 'All' tab u can tap on the app and see whether u can move that app to 'sdcard' or not, if its there then u can do it else its better to leave it.
since moving apps to sdcard using third party apps from stores, will always bring issue's for u, rather than resolving the storage problem
