i tried restoring some stock apps that i really need using titanium, it says restoring complete.but i dont see the apps in drawer.....
Try using absolute system root tools to backup apps of stock rom..it may work but didnt tried it yet
same problem here ...how do we use absolute system root tools??
Wat do u mean by how to use..open it go to app management..after selecting ur app click on microsd sign nd after dat click on backup.its simple
you mean its built in stock android system to back up system apps??
i got it working, i was talking abt the licensed ndrive stock app with india map....
Question for you guys. I'm running CM7 (one of the nightlies) with DT a2sd. Received the low internal storage message today and was able to relieve about 1.5MB to get it above the threshold. But, that still leaves me at only ~20MB. I cleared cache and dalvik through recovery. I used cachemate. I moved dalvik to SD. And it didn't budge the internal storage amount. How can I find out what exactly is taking up that storage and what can I do to relieve it? Thanks for any and all help.
The only things that really take any significant amount of space are your downloaded applications, application data, and Dalvik cache. Assuming the downloaded applications and Dalvik cache really have been successfully moved to the SD card, then I suppose it could be some rogue application that is storing an excessive amount of data.
You can use one of the various file manager application that lets you gain root access and view the data partition for yourself to see what's taking up the most space though.
Are you sure the a2sd is set up properly?
I suggest using S2E over a2sd.

Okay well I went ahead and tried S2E...great BUT, i lost all of my app data (i.e. angry birds was reset to a fresh install). Every time I reboot the phone, I have to re-setup my theme...i.e. ADW resets to normal...basically a fresh install of CM7...any guidance on that? Btw, it did free up a lot of space when I went to S2E...

S2E and DT a2sd are going to screw each other up, so if you are going to install S2E, you really need to completely uninstall DT first.
If you don't mind setting stuff up again, you should probably just do a clean install.

Hmm... Even with the import function? After I do that it tells me to reinstall CM7 so as to uninstall dt a2sd... Is that not a reliable way to uninstall? I'd like to use S2E but really, really don't want to start fresh... *unless there is someway to link my restored apps (mybackup root - mainly for backing up the data) to the market * i'm pretty sure there's a way with some app but I don't remember what it's called.

Here is what i would try. Back up all apps + data with Titanium Backup and all system settings with MyBackupRoot. Do a full wipe/clean install of CM7. Install S2E and select to move apps and dalvik-cache to sd-ext through S2E. Reboot. Install Titanium Backup and MyBackupRoot from the market. Use Titanium to reinstall all apps + data. Reboot. Use MyBackupRoot to recover backed up system settings. Reboot. Done.
Just to make sure you know, S2E can only be used with CM7 and an ext-3 partition.

Many custom ROMs has feauture "a2sd".
Can u explain me how it works?
Should I simply create an ext partition or install some soft to manage this feauture?
P.S. sry for my bad english

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
My cyanogen based custom ginger rom has this option. I wonder why should i install a2sd having native app-to-sd. Thanks

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

Hi, I got myself an android phone 5 days ago and i want to learn how to use it properly so i search everything about androids phone and i think this is the best site among other sites to post this question.
1)Transferring SD partition
At first, i didn't know what is root and after learning it, i rooted my phone cause it required in order to increase my memory. I recently bought i new one which is 32GB and i already partition it(using minitool partition wizard) and i was wondering how to transfer all my installed data , phone data and my previous SD to my new one. If i simply copy paste it how about my installed app on my phone? will it cause my app to stop working? if i use titanium back up,can you show me step by step how to use it.
2)Rom manager or Goomanager (custom ROM)
I heard a lot of people saying "Do not use it","too dangerous,too risky","might brick your phone" (i don't even get it, you'll just have to follow the instruction or procedure right?)
-stock Rom and custom Rom
what so different about them? (i know for the fact that custom Rom updates quickly)but i need more information.
-what makes you want to install custom Rom, is it worth it?
-custom Rom can save battery life,make it faster,can play heavy games etc... but HOW? is that mean stock Rom drains more battery( my phone cant even survive one night), cant play heavy game or makes you lag?
-what would happen to my stock rom if i install custom rom?
-if i installed custom rom, will it cause my phone any problems? like app stop working?
-will it use up my ram or rom memory?
-why bother change another custom rom if you'll just use the popular ones?
-What else can you do on custom rom?
3) Clockworkmod recovery and Titanium back up
-Whats the different about them?
They say clockworkmod is like cloning your phone when you back up
They say Titanium back up all apps and data is like the same as cloning your phone too right or not? so whats the difference?
what should i use?
when backing up to install new custom rom, what should i choose? they say if you using titanium back up might cause some serious problem.
4)Recommend or important app
what should i install to improve my phone? like cleaner,battery save (there many kinds, i want to know which is the best)
5) Any advice for new android user
Kindly answer at least one of my noob questions that is easily to understand.
THANK YOU in advance.
wow... you have so many doubts... hahaha
Ok, here we go:
root concept is a little difficult to understand (and to explain) to anybody that never used Linux before. To put it simple, root means that you have administrator privileges, so you can do anything you desire (even break your phone very easily ).
I dunno if a plain copy can works with the ETX partition, but you can do this: Move your apps to your phone again, disable Link2SD, put your new SD, enable Link2SD and move all to the EXT partition.
If I misunderstood this, and you don't have partitioned your actual SD, forget that I said before. Copy all from the old SD to the new one, there aren't problems at all.
I don't recommend to use Titanium Backup if you're installing a completely different ROM, since it can cause problems (if you're reinstalling your actual ROM, is OK to use it).
Custom ROM advantages:
quick updates, as you said.
lightweight, only few apps will be installed (without the bunch of crap that carriers or manufacturers usually add).
faster than stock, mostly cases.
Many features that stock ROM doesn't have (depends of ROM and the developer).
You should choose your ROM wisely, since not all ROMs are enough stable and can cause weird problems (as forced closes, slow down the phone, random reboots...). If you're unsure, try the popular ones and choose one.
Titanium backup doesn't make a clone of your phone, only the apps and its data. As I said before, I don't recommend to use it if you're moving to another ROM (you can try to install the app as usual, and only restore its data using Titanium Backup, it's better than restore app+data).
Recovery, in the other hand, can make a full backup (even the EXT partition is saved), so this is the right way to backup when you're installing a new ROM.
You will not need anything if you choose a good ROM
The usual: search, read, search again, and understand before do anything
I hope I didn't leave something unanswered, let me know if so

Thank you for the quick reply.
wow... you have so many doubts... hahaha - got tired of iphone 5 so i switch to samsung galaxy since its new, ive got to be careful.
what ways can can your phone be brick? so that i could avoid it.
I don't recommend to use Titanium Backup if you're installing a completely different ROM, since it can cause problems (if you're reinstalling your actual ROM, is OK to use it). what do you mean by "if you're reinstalling your actual ROM, is OK to use it"? are you saying if i want to revert it back to stock rom?
can you explain more clearly about question no.3 i still didn't get it.
lightweight, only few apps will be installed (without the bunch of crap that carriers or manufacturers usually add) - can you explain it like giving me examples? what examples of crap usually add? if i really did installed a custom rom, what are not from the stock are now on new rom. wont it effect my phone app data?
other said that if you installed a custom rom it might get brick.(even if the instruction followed carefully)
so what should i use to back up my phone in order to install custom rom and how? what would happen to my stock rom if i install custom rom?
how can i sure if the custom rom is suited for my phone? cyanogenmod the most popular custom rom, people said it can slow or cause problems too.
how much memory is required on installing custom rom.
should i use rom manager or goomanager?
-difference between clockworkmod recovery( and its functions) and Titanium Backup
When backing up consumes a lot of memory?
"Titanium backup doesn't make a clone of your phone, only the apps and its data" data-did you mean data from phone too? like contacts etc... if i use titanium backup and reset my phone, will it return to when i bought it? i was wondering if it will delete some icons like gallery icon youtube icon etc...because my phone is rooted.
if i use clockworkmod recovery, will it return to the way it is? some say dont use it cause it have a lot of problems.
"I dunno if a plain copy can works with the ETX partition, but you can do this: Move your apps to your phone again, disable Link2SD, put your new SD, enable Link2SD and move all to the EXT partition." so i should put all my installed app to my phone and then remove my sd card and copy all the files, cache to my new one. is that it?
Recommend or important app to improve my phone
my phone cant survive even a day. sometimes if i play games it sudden close itself and lag. if i install custom rom,can it solve my problems?
When backing up consumes a lot of memory?
Can you tell name of your mobile?
And yes, ROMs tend to make phones better in performance
ClockworkMod backup usually takes 200-300 mb for high end ICS/JB devices

And why do you need to expand memory?
1. Transferring data to SD card is not only copy paste them. Not that simple.. U have to use an application that able to move data to SD safely without problem. If the data u wanted to move is like Pictures, Music, Video then it could be done by a simple copy paste.
2. Stock ROM and Custom ROM is two different things. Basically stock ROM is the one that officially has been tested its compatibility to phones which means it is safe to use it. While Custom ROMs are different. Not all of Custom ROMs are tested and u use it by ur own risk. It is true that by using custom ROM could improve ur phone because basically the Custom ROM was maded by other people that wanted to improve what Stock ROM didn't have. Custom ROM could harm ur phone if it is not used in a right way or that the ROM doesn't match ur phone.
3. Clockworkmod Recovery and Titanium backup are basically a similar app. They both meant to backup ur data. The thing is, clockwork use to backup ur ROM in case u want to change ur current ROM and maybe u want it back again. While Titanium usually used for backup ur phone's application and data such as apps, ur phone setting, ur contacts, etc.
4. I have some apps that I can suggests to u as a basic apps for rooted users.
- ROM toolbox Pro. It help u to improve ur ROM in working.
- Terminal emulator. It help to put command on ur phone if u want to order ur phone to run some settings. Simply it is like MsDos in Windows.
- Link2SD. Help u to organize apps if u need to move some apps that cannot be moved manually from ur setting (like ur stock apps, Twitter, Facebook, etc)
- (optional) Root explorer. Help u to manage data in ur phone or SD and change their permissions.

1. Move your installed apps by using link2sd, or u can also move it by using ROM toolbox. only the installed apps that u thinks u should move. for Video, Music, Pictures, etc. u can move them by a simple 'cut' 'paste' method.
3. Yup, remember to backup all ur data first in Titanium before u download n install new ROM..
