Hi everyone,
First of all i would like to thank the developers over here doing a wonderful job,
Ok so this is what i have at the moment:
clockwork recovery installed
Flashed Neojn's devoid #froyo final ROM
franco's kernel v17
now i've followed the guides over here on partitioning and installing, but seem to be doing wrong some where..
Ok on to the questons:
1)Is this Partitioning and darktremor's A2SD flashing to be done before or after install of ROM, i did it after ROM install
2) In Clockwork... there is only an option to create partition but i don't find any option to select the format like ext 2 or ext 3 or ext 4... why is this..?
3) Ok After flashing Darktremor's A2SD (by selecting install zip from location)... i don't see any app icon related to it, how can i know that its working..
4) I went to application manager and checked my previously installed applications, they all have move to sd card greyed out, is it still on phone memory or on the ext partition..
5) i checked by installing a new apk which normally installs in phone memory.. i checked it in application manager.. it too had "move to SD card greyed out" did this app install in ext or phone memory..?
6) I have not been able to locate ext partition in root explorer.. where should be it located, although my memory card size seems to have been reduced after the partition...?
7) How can i transfer dalvich cache to ext partition, should i type in the commands after installing the emulator...
Sorry but i don't seem to get it..
1. First partition, then rom, then a2sd
2. Clockwork only creates ext4 partition
3. From adb or terminal emulator type su, then 'a2sd check' , and it will show you the status.
4. After installing a2sd, the phone treats the ext partition as internal memory (in other words it is tricked) and by default all apps get installed to this partition.
5. So all apps will show that they have installed in phone memory but they are in ext parition. You can check if this is activated by using a2sd check or if you want to check for yourself, navigate to /system/sd (froyo) or /sd-ext (GB) through root explorer and you will see the apps installed there.
6. And obviously, if you have 2 gb card, inherently it is not 2 gb but 1.7 GB, and then if you create a paritition of 512 MB and then if you check in settings it will show sd card space 1.7 - 0.5 = 1.2 GB.
7. To transfer dalvik to ext partition type via terminal or adb, su, then 'a2sd cachesd'. The phone will reboot.
For more commands in a2sd, type 'a2sd help' (after giving su permissions of course) .
If u dont want typing ,download a2sdgui from market and check if its installed it will show details ,otherwise automatic close ,you can check if apps are installed in internal or ext ,and can also move dalvik to ext through this app.
So give it a try ,if u facing any problems then u can pm me.

Thanks mate, i'll download it from market and post my findings here...
You're welcome I forgot a2sdgui, because i prefer the commands, get it from market, it will provide a GUI to those commands.
OK mates
I have located the ext partition using root explorer in system/sd, really i am relieved now, thank GOD
I ran A2SDgui, it started, i have the led on for "Apps are on SD button", however its off for "zipalign on boot" and "swap is deactivated" anyone knows what they do?
Whats the low memory tab for ?, by default its set to "strict low memory settings"
Under system info - general info
I have got SD-ext using some space, this shows its working i suppose, and whats the /cache/ i have total of 64mb and 63mb is free, what does that do?
And Suppose if i want say for a widget to be on phone memory, how do i turn off this feature just for that ?
One final question, Where does clock work recovery mod actually live in phone, is it possible that we can delete it and brick our phone, i always thought that flashing a new rom wipes everything on phone including clockwork, but i am wrong i suppose...
Sorry for my never ending questions .. but i am curious
Finally i am free from that dreaded low memory message, thanks to people over here
Don't touch the zipalign, swap and low memory settings unless you know what you are doing.
The recovery resides on a separate mount-point ( separate partition if you will) and flashing a rom does not erase it.
Unfortunately, with DT a2sd you cannot selectively choose which apps should be on internal or on ext partition. For that check out Link2sd on the market. It will allow you choose which apps to put on ext and which on internal. Keep in mind, if you want to use link2sd then it's best to use it on a fresh flash as a2sd and ink2sd don't work together.
The cache partition is another partition which stores cache files and as a temporary download location. Don't worry about it.

Thanks a ton bro. I have decided to stay with A2SD for now. will move to link 2 SD when a Rom based on the official gingerbread becomes available. BTW do you have any links that explain link2sd in detail..

Oh, I don't know; see the market description, or as always, google is your friend!
This thread answered a lot of my doubts about the partitioning. However, i did not understand if the card should be partitioned after or before the install of the ROM? Will there be a problem if it is done after because I am getting a 16GB card tomorrow but I've already flashed a custom ROM using the 2GB stock lg card? Or should i re-do everything again to be safe?

for your first question, it should be partitioned BEFORE you flash the rom and other stuffs
also dont forget to read the pink words in my signiture
and for card changing, its simple:
first make a nandroid backup, choose all stuffs including ext-partition
then partition your new card (better the same size as before idk just feeling better with that)
nandroid full restore.
and reboot then all things will be cool dont have to redo stuffs
but for the worst situations better make a full titanium before changing the card!
good luck and hope i helped
Hai experts,
I update my ACE to gingerbread DDKQ5_2.3.4. I have not backup the applications (i thought to reinstall only necessary ones). I have the files in my SD card which i move to SD card using APP2SD how do i remove them, if i install some app and move it to SD will it conflict with my old files?
I actually do not want any data from my SD card, can I format it, if I format how do those necessary folders (media, DCIM etc) I will get.
please help me.
Thank you.
ask question in general subforum. dont clutter dev subforum with questions.
btw obviously u'll lose all data when formatting, and those folders were created automatically on fresh android install. dcim folder created by camera.
Thank you. Apology for posting in wrong section. So I can format it (using my phone) and it will create all the necessary folders right. Thank you once again .
yes u can format sdcard directly using ur phone, but if u have a2sd partition, most of ur apps will be force close. disable a2sd before doing so.
So, first of all, a big hello to the community! Spent the last 2 hours digging around the forum, as I'm a new user and I'm amazed with this big things Galaxy has to add! I came from a Symbyan platform, and the only thing I done was Flash my Nokia 5800 with a C6 FW by PHNT.
Few days ago, I moved to this awsome Android world, where I see alot fo stuff new to my eyes, and that I wish some replys from you guys.
You all gonna say this questions are answered elsewhere, but I digged the forum, and I find the most various kind of answers for the same questions, which I'm now pretty much confused.
The thing is, I want to apply this CM7.1(or , dunno which is better), from what I see, it improves greatly our Galaxy Ace, but on the other hand, I saw a post that says taht this is simple as Root(Which I've done already), and apply a CWM or something, and apply the CM7.1 same way as Rooting.
The fulcral questions is which is the safest(and noobier-frindly) way to apply that CM 7.1?
Also if someone can aid me, what CWM does exactly? Its a backup app like TitaniumBackup?
I think you did not read This my friend.
And CWM is a custom recovery which has a lot more features than stock recovery.
CWM5 can be found Here
The tutorial is at the first link I gave you. But if you didn't understand,
I'll tell you step-by-step
1. Download the rom and CWM and put it in your phone.
2. Enter recovery and choose install zip from SD then choose CWM.
3. Reboot and enter recovery again.
4. Your now in CWM Recovery, before flashing any rom, doa wipe data.
5. Choose install zip fom SD card and choose CM7.1/2
reboot then voila
Hited Thanks for you!
Really helpfull thread! How did I missed it lol!
So the thing taht really caught my attention was the option to don't waste internal memory, which is exactly the only reason I wanted to Cyan Mod.
If it's not a hassle to you, can you pinpoint me the EXACT file to run from CWM? I really don't wanna mess up my phone(though I will only apply it after I buy my 16GB SDcard soon).
Here's where I stand:
1-> I rooted my device with some root I found over youtube, worked fine, then google play said me to update the superuser app, so I did. I guess it's updated, no problems there.
2-> Now I need CWM(I got a file named "recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix.zip", should I use that one or try to find the v4 one?
3-> Then I need to run on Home Button+Power to install that mod, but here comes 4 questions:
"You need to extend the internal app storage to the sd card. The FIRST thing you need to do is go back to Clockworkmod recovery mode and partition your sdcard so that it has a ext4 extension. Then update from ketut.kumajaya's post with cf-rootdtapps2sd???.zip(forgot the full name). That defaults all downloaded apps to run from the sd card."
3.1-> Does CWM have the partition option already? And does it formats the SDcard?
3.2-> Can u direct me the EXACT file so I don't mess this up?
3.3-> This doesn't wipes any data from the phone right?
3.3.3-> And what about the apps alraedy installed and using the internal memory even though they are "in SD card, as phone shows", i need to reinstall them right?
Ty again for any hassle done! And I will thank you agani, just for wasting the time here with me
2. Ok flash that. Some roms are compatible with that but not on v4
3. No. Don't use CFRoot. It's for stock roms only.
3.1 Yes, you can partitition SD card on CWM.
And yes, it wipes everything in your SD
and after you have partitioned it, download Link2sd from the market, choose ext4 then link every app (except system apps of course)
I guess that answers all, just didn't get what u meant by that, do i use taht version 5 or the v4 of CWM? And what is a stock rom? I never changed nothing on my phone except the Rooting.

stock roms are roms made by samsung. Your currently in a stock rom but you are going to CM7 so don't use it anymore. Use v5
Wait, can't I have that Mod to save all in SDcard and save internt memory? I just want that thing, I dont have Cyan mod if I can do that without it
Can u pinpoint me to the correct file please?

After you partition your sd card thorough cwm recovery, do a factory reset and then install cm7.2. Then you can use either s2e or link2sd or a2sd to free up your internal memory.
If you are asking for exact cm7.2 file, there are many of them. Try cm7.2 by vo1 first. Thread will be in development section created by Lovetz.
It seems your not really getting what I mean
First I wanted the CM7 mod, BUT after reading that thread you showed me, I saw its possible to free up internal memory WITHOUT the need of installing CM7, and installing that other file right?
I just wanted to know which is the right file so I don't mess up. I just want to have the option to save all to SDcard, and not to use Internal memory. That was the reason I wanted CM7. Understand now?
use minitool partition wizard to repartition your sdcard. create two partition, both as primary, first partition as fat32 and second partition as ext2/ext3/ext4
http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html
then flash this from clockworkmod recovery. before flashing do mount system and data manually

then install this

I FULLY understand what you want And I am telling you that you do not need those files to transfer apps to sd. ust partition your SD via CWM, doanload Link2sd choose ext4 then link all of them

See what I mean? One guy tells me totally different apps to download + a PC program and to flash another app then you say, and you say with only 1 app + the Link2SD I can do it That's why I get confused ;p I guess both apps are good, which one the safest and best?

So it's only that? No need for that "update from ketut.kumajaya's post with cf-rootdtapps2sd???.zip(forgot the full name)" zip?
Also which CWM I use, v4 or the one I have?("recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix")
Lol they are many ways to partition your SD card ...cwm recovery eliminates the need of a PC but Mini tool partition wizard is recommended ( though I trust cwm recovery blindly )

Can you tell me how is it partitioned?
First partition will be for photos etc, the 2nd will be for apps?
Can you pinpoint me the .apk file for CWM you use?
Also, what should I expect when doing the partition trought CMW? Its just an option saying to do the partition? I read taht is needed to mount/unmount things,I have NO IDEA on how to achieve that.
If u got access to pc, better do it on pc with minitool after making backup of your whole sdcard. Yes cwm can do it but who know when disaster strike u'll lose all your sdcard data. Better to be safe than sorry mate.

Well cwm 5 can be found by Googling ( cwm 5 for Samsung galaxy ace)
2. It's not how you think ..once you partition your SD card the partition is inaccessible to you ..example if on a 2 gb card if u create a partition of 512mb when u go to settings the phone will read your SD card as 1.5 gb
3. Cwm guides are readily available on you tube
4. As the other guys have said b4 u need to use apps like link2sd to be able to use the partition ..entirely for apps alone ...s2e is the best but works ONLY on cm7
5. During the partition process your SD card will be formatted !!!
Backup your Data first! !!!!
6. Anything else???
P.S. I can't provide links as I m on my phone and even on a PC I would have advised u to Google
So, in your example, on a 2GB card, the phone will read only 1,5GB, so what will be that 1,5GB for? And the 512MB what will they be for?
Thanks for the reply

1.5 gb will be for your media -photos videos files etc that 512 MB is accessible only through s2e,link2sd and other such apps( u see I know only these 2 ) this 512 MB can be used to store your apps ---I.e. move the dalvik cache to the SD card which in turn results in a lot of free internal space....
Once upon a time I had 120 apps on my phone and 50 MB was still remaining.
P.S. please don't ask what dalvik cache is ...Google it instead ..ull get better info

I am new at rooting, this is the first device I have tried to root. I followed the thread for a triple boot CM7 , CM9 and CM10 (also stock OS) from Malloneem. I decided to only flash CM7 and CM10 to NT 1.4.3. Everything worked great, except during the initial setup of both CM7 and CM10 it will not recognize my WiFi. I have tried twice, after first time I wiped NT and reformatted the sd card and started from scratch. same result both times.
I read through the replies and noticed that someone else had the same problem. the response said to wipe the cache and it should fix the dalvik. I wiped both the cache then tried and then wiped the dalvik and had the same results. With the CM10 it says "turning on wifi" and stays there.
I am a new member to xda so I cannot post a reply to the original thread.
Any help would be much appreciated.
If I cannot get this to work is there another method where you can use CM10 and stock OS? (something that is extreamly easy to follow)

You can use this:
http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013...-1-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet-0110/
Write the image file to an SD card and you'll be good to go. You can use a repartitioning software to expand the partitions on your SD if you want. Use the instructions on the link I provided.
The SD card image will contain CM10.1 4.1.2. If you want to use a different ROM you can download the SDC version of any ROM ( has to be SDC!), place the zip on your SD card or internal storage. Boot into SDC recovery and installed the zip file. You'll need the GAPPS zip also (which has to be SDC also.)
Thank you for the help. My appologies for the redundant question but when I flash this ROM I will be able to bounce between CM10 and the stock B& N OS correct?

Yes. Because CM 10 will be on your SD card. Stock will be on your internal. If your internal partitions or anything is messed up ( maybe the reason you can't boot stock) you can tell from CM.

Thank you again. I have read throught the instructions on the link you provided and I am a little confused on the partitioning part. As I mentioned before this is my first time rooting anything. The instructions on the triple boot regarding the partitioning of the sdc were clear giving sizes for the newly created partitions etc., I didn't see that on this link (unless I missed it). Could you explain it so a newbie can understand it?

Well is there any reason why you would like triple boot? You need a fairly good size SD card if you want three systems. I just provided the simplest way to run cm on the nook. Write the image to your SD card and it will make it boot able. If you want to triple boot then setup your SD card partitions like you had before, but you only need to install the zips as alt boots.
Again, you probably don't need triple boot. Cm10+ has everything you'll need.

No, I dont need the triple boot. Being a newbie I may have misread something (probably the case) but the link you gave me directed me to partition the sd card. it was this portion that was not clear to me. I was referencing the directions for partitioning on the triple boot thread as a comparison. The site you gave me said to partition the card but gave reference as to how big to make each partition. I don't need the triple boot.
My kid uses the NT to help read (read to me, etc...) I wanted something to get more of a tablet feel while keeping the stock system as well.
Thank you again. I appreciate the help. I will look at it again.

On the iamafanof site you can scroll down there will be an SDC image. There is a difference between the image and the zips. All you need to do is download the SDC image, write it go your SD card using an file writer ( win32 disk writer will do) and your SD card will be ready to boot. Put it in your nook and and it will boot cyanoboot and should automatically do a SDC boot. It takes a little bit for the first boot to start ( usually 2 or 3 minutes)
Once you get your nook to boot cm I can tell you how to expand your SD partitions to hold more apps.
If you still have problems with WiFi it may be a different problem ( shouldn't happen).
If you need help or need a step by step guide I can find one or make one for you.

If you still have problems with WiFi it may be a different problem ( shouldn't happen).
If you need help or need a step by step guide I can find one or make one for you.

Thank you for your help. I worked and was simple. If you could explain the partitioning that would be great. If not, its working just the way I want it.
Thank you again!!

You have 4 partitions on your SD card: boot, system, data, sdcard. Your boot partition holds the files the boot CM. This is where recovery, mlo, uboot, etc is. System holds files essential for the ROM to work.
The only two you need to worry about are data and SD. Your data partitions holds apps. That is when you download an app the files in the apk file are put there. This would be like your internal storage for any phone or tablet. SD card is like an external SD card for your phone or tablet. Its where extra data files, photos, music etc go.
Depending on what size of SD card you have determines how big you can expand your data or SD partition.
Using a partitioning software ( like GParted) you can change the partitions and expand them to the side you want. I have a 16 GB SD card. So I expanded my data partition to 4 GB, and the rest went to SD card. Its okay to delete data or SD partition to expand it, but don't delete boot or system because you'll have to reformat the card and write the image file to the card again ( and ain't nobody got time for that.)

This worked great!! thanks for all your help!!
Hello all .
I have a Android Phone that has very low Internal Storage. (After STOCK mod restore, there is only 100 MB internal storage free .).
So, naturally I want to put all the apps that I install now to External SD Card.
I've tried App2SD and Link2SD already.
But, when i used App2SD, the internal storage was still dropping as I installed more and more apps. (App2SD was working, meaning app2sd did move the apps to SD, but still there was decrease in free Internal Memory).
Then, I tried Link2SD. This gave me the same result as App2SD. This was better than App2SD though, meaning the decrease in Internal Memory was slower compared to App2SD.
Now, here's my question : I want a proper technique to move EVERYTHING app related to SD card when i install an app.
Here is an Idea :
Can i create links to Directories in Internal Memory and move the Directories to external SD card ?
i know i can create links to files. but is it possible to link whole directories ? (If the app tries to create new files or directories, the link must work in such a way that new files and directories are created in External SD....... this must be invincible or transparent to the App..)
Some more of my Ideas :
Recently, I came across this : [TOOL] DirectoryBind - move data to external_sd (GameLoft, Shadowgun etc.) ROOT req. - xda-developers
Can I Bind the whole "/data/app" and "/data/data" and "/data/dalvik-cache" to External SD Card ?
Will it cause any OS instability ? or any other problems ?
And i have 1 more question :
When i install a new Application, I wanna know all the directories that it uses.
These i know : /data/app (for apk), /data/data (for data) and /data/dalvik-cache (for odex) ... Where else does the application use storage space ?
This i wanna know coz, im going to try to Bind the Directories using the tool i mentioned above. Or try to create Links...
Thanks a lot fellow XDA-Developers.... :highfive:.
If its of any help, my android device is "Karbonn A5i" .

Int2Ext sript is what you're looking for You will have to partition your sdcard. First partition Fat(32), second partition Ext2/3/4. The scripts are meant to flash immediately after flashing the rom via cwm as other recoveries are not doing well with the scripts.
Int2Ext scripts move all app data to the Ext partition on your sdcard
Int2Ext+ scripts will move most of the data to Ext partition but will still use some of the internal storage as its faster this way.
Keep in mind that moving all data to sdcard will slow down your device
Thanks a lot LS.xD for your reply. I hit a few bumps along the road, but its working like charm now .
Here are the problems that I faced :
1) I didn't have Init.d Support in my Phone.
Solution : Universal Init.d - Android Apps on Google Play
This Doesn't work at all : [GUIDE][XSP]Easy init.d support for Stock ROMs - xda-developers
2) The Int2Ext script installation resulted in an Error (in ClockworkMod) (Status 0 Error.).
Solution : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29421274&postcount=66
After getting past those things, everything is working just fine now (I'm using INT2EXT) .
Again, Thanks a lot LS.xD for you help.
