Help needed with a2sd - Galaxy Ace S5830 General

Okie guys...here i come to final thing that i wud love to do on my ace. Probably i ll rest fir few months after that.
I flashed back dxkt5 2.3.6 today.
Installed cf-root b84
Lagfree v2
Converted filesystems to ext4
I am using link2sd app for now with ext4 partition on my sd card.
I heard thar dt a2sd is better than link2sd as it allows to move data as well to sd card. Hence, am planning to enable it as it comes with cf root.
Can anybody plz guide me how to do it with minimal efforts.
By minimal efforts i mean..without having to re install my apps.
If thats unavoidable i m ok with it. But please guide me how to proceed with it.
I am a neebie and hv been trying to understand the things one by one..and i feel this is the last thing which remain untouched by me.
Plz plz help me guys...i promise i wont trouble u after that..if somebody says try google...i hv already done that...but i couldn't make sense out of it...may be because i am a girl. ;-)
Please help.
Thanks.

darktremmor script then either use terminal or use the a2sd gui from market theres a thread with a guide about it somewhere. think its in delvelopment

download the script from here
put in sdcard
boot into recovery
mount system and data from recovery
flash the script
get A2SDGUI from market
open A2SDGUI and the rest is on u. its easy enough for u understand. and good luck with it

Its not hard.
1.Download latest darktremor's a2sd from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926015 and put on sd card.
2.Go to recovery.Mount system,data and sd-ext and flash darktremor's a2sd .
3.After rebooting go to terminal app(download it if you don't have) and type
a2sd cachesdreset and its done.

Thanks guys...one qq...i was just searching about it on google...i am not able to decide if its better than link2sd? do u know which ine is better n y?

Dta2sd sucks for me. I had used before. 1 main problem i found ws dat it used to mess up my ext partition. Means, like whenever i tried to install an app, my fone would reboot.

Use S2E.Its better than Link2SD

Even i got to the same conclusion...link2sd is better than a2sd.. Going to stick with it.
-Nisha

Wow...your setting us same like me...just different rom, i use xwks6, convert ext4, cf-root b84, link2sd, lagfreev2, for i/o i use noop, 122mhz min, 806mhz max...

S2E and FreeSpace is even more better for handling SD card ext partition

dont listen to opinions. see my sig below?
opinions wasnt always true and it wasnt a fact. it usually based on personal experience, and your experience might be different than others.
test it yourself and see how it goes. u always got cwm backup if something goes wrong.

Those 168mb represent the internal storage, not the external one (SD-card).

Sorry then...
Yes, your free internal memory is normal, cheap phones have very small storage space. You can root and use a root uninstaller to delete system apps you don't use in order to free more space.

That is where all the apps installed to SD (the native Froyo way) go. PC Suite can be downloaded from their web (the application is horrible, BTW) and no, system applications are not installed there at all.
Ok...so wat are the changes or advantages of 10e over 10c???& how to start with using market place???

By the way you keep asking stuff, its seems like either you're a lazy guy, or your search function does not work. You can find out about such trivial things like using Android Market or finding your apps and games yourself! All of these questions have already been asked before.

If everyone ask questions like the way you do, xda will be flooded with duplicate threads.
Instead of asking why people can't give you the answer you need, why don't you ask yourself why you can't describe your problem properly?

when you ask a ques try to wait for sometime ,let someone read your ques first before you go post again... anyway
the thing you asking is normal , the option only activates if your file system is rls, when you click it to convert it to ext4 it will convert it and after that will be grayed out since it wont find any rls partition to convert
and if you wana check your file system see above it where it showes internal memory something and your current file system i dont remmber it exactly as i dont have it now .. anyway
this clears you now ? hit thanks if it clears

thanks bro this is what am talking about. i have seen in xda there are 1000 views and no answers. like i said everyone is a noob when they get hands on an android phone. when they post questions we have to help them out. emoiibox has done a pretty decent job putting up that guide on xda which helps a lot of them. hey i clicked thanks button. bro i would like to know one more thing all options(system, data and cache) are grayed out (shows its on rfs) but i have already converted to ext4 but still why its showing system is on rfs. is it because am using chainfire ext4 manager. should i use the modified one by ketut to solve this ?
happily1986 said:
did you use ext4manager from ketut's thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=714285&d=1315543936
ext4manager MUST detect your cf root kernel. if it does, it will automatically show the various partitions and the file system applicable.

happily1986 said:
thats just the kernel itself. scroll down and find CF Root S5830 ext4 v1.3 in the post by ketut if you want to. btw the link i posted earlier on is the actual download link for the ext4 manager that has been modified to work for S5830 by ketut.

I wrote 2 replies in the other thread where you were asking the question. You see now? You don't read things carefully. Anyway, i can't be bothered to flame you HOWEVER you will do well to heed my advice to read replies PROPERLY because 70% of what you read here might be instructions and failing to read them properly could possibly render your Ace inoperable.
We are all noobs once but that doesn't mean that we are in any way incapable of reading instructions/replies carefully.

system,data,cache i dont think they are options they are just their to tell if they are on rls or ext4 i guess, Actually i have used ext manager, once only in blackhawk Rom by ketut i was just checking it i cant say why it is showing you this ... is the convert to rls option active ? if yes try converting it back to rls and try again if ext4 gets active..
i guess someone else can tell something more about this ...

i told u right am using chainfire ext4. i never knew there was a modified ext4 manager by ketut.(thanks for telling that in your post).chainfire ext4 manager detects kernel but i dont think it will convert my internal from rfs to ext4. btw is it safe to install ketuts ext4 over chainfire's ? sorry for my noobness. thanks for answers from happily1986 and devilcode

it should detect it as another version and prompt you whether you want to overwrite or not. Go ahead and click yes. If no such prompt just uninstall the original one by chainfire and install the one by ketut after that.
Well next time try bumping your thread up to prevent the clutter!

Having a swap memory increases perfomance...But the increase in perf. is too minute to notice..Don't waste space in your sd card by unnecessarily assigning a swap partition..
If you have already flashed A2SD script,then download A2SDGUI from market,the app will let you control the script

Cdesai once gave me a non-working kernel that had swapped /data and /system
Herpderp Defy.
yeah emo thats tricking the kernel to mount our sd-ext partition as /data instead of phone data...
so it will work like sd-ext but just won't require anything software...
that should be easy to implement in our kernels
wow. calling devs..
That's a good idea. Then what about this? In HTC desire dev thread talking about 8MB hack, and previously I saw in G1 dev thread is 10MB hack.

That's exactly what I did: The modded boot image, on startup, mounts /data (the internal memory) on SDcard 2nd partition (if there is one, of course)...
...if your second partition (EXT4 formatted due to safety reasons) is 1Gb wide... your internal memory will be 1Gb wide...
That's all!
After that I received many requests for Galaxy FIT and Galaxy ACE via PM...
Actually these three phones get the same kernel (really the same deep inside!) but few drivers not related to boot process...
I was easy able to repeat the tweak for Galaxy FIT, testing the modded images on my Mini loosing only the two physical button control but booting fine ...
And I repeated the tweak for Galaxy ACE too! read here... (mini tweak, FIT tweak and ACE tweak are pretty the same... no "one byte" of difference!)
But due to different screen resolution I cannot test it on my own... (Mini bootloader doesn't handle rle images different from 240x320, hanging...)
The images, actually modded, should work fine (99% sure) but, if there is somebody "adb shell aware" or "terminal emulator aware" I can show three simple "console commands" to check for it 100% without need to flash anything...
After that... Let's Mod whatever you want !
