[Q] app2sd necesary in ics? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so i've been in many roms, custom and stock...and since i know cyanogen i think they have done the ''move aplications to sd'' in every rom. i remember flashing one cm6 once on my x10 mini and see in features: default app2sd in cyanogenmod settings, so i dunno why people keep asking about app2sd or link2sd suport on roms like cm7 or cm9
so...whats the diference between moving an app to sd card from setting and do it froms app2sd?
it is really necesary on gingerbread and ics?
if it so...works better on ext partitions or fat ones?

Actually moving apps to sd-ext partition is preferred and is also better.
FAT file system is very slow and ext-2 and ext-4 are faster.
The one that comes bundled with cyanogenmod moves apps to sd card (FAT)
What you might see in your phone forums is a script which moves apps to sd-ext
In order to install that script you need to have sd card partitioned.

[Q] Looking for a user-friendly ROM installation guide CWM

Hello everyone, I´m new on the android word and just got myself an x10 mini, and would like to install a ROM. the real thing im after is the ability to save apps to SD, I tried installing App2sd, using a tutorial in these forums, but it completely broke android 3 times, getting stuck on an endless reboot cycle.
Now that that option is out of the window I am looking at ROMS.
My phone is flashed with an international firmware, with band M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015, Android 2.1. What would be the best ROM (given persona experience) fully working, of course?
Thank you,
DamDSx
hi im pretty new too, but found it quite easy, i installled 2.3.3, i havent got time right now to post the links il get back 2 you if you havnt sorted it, but you can get all links and software from this site, the easiest way i found was using superoneclick to root, just one click! then youl need xrecovery to backup (just incase) &restore then browse for the rom you want to use, if you have a look you'll find all these on here with n00bie instructions 4 us beginners, hope this helps some what.

Currently backing up with Xrecovery, but im not sure if I need to wipe user data and cache? the rom guide does not say anything

welcome 2 android
ROM's are of personal taste and as the camera problem of gingerbread is fixed,most of the ROM's are fully working.....as u r new to android, i would suggest you to go for MiniCM7 2.0.5 as the MiniCM is perfectly "tailored" for the mini's small screen estate...however, other ROM's like GingerDX, FroyoBread, MiniCM6, Andread etc are very stable alternatives too ..i am using "FRoyoBread" latest version because i find the battery consumption to be less than the Gingerbread builds
if you are after the ability of moving the apps to SD, most ROM's would suffice. But, i'll give u a caution, don't move apps with "Widget" support or "operational" apps to the SD card...many a time u will get a "problem loading widget" popup or your SD card won't show up on the computer.
try some ROM's until u find the one u would like the best...most of the ROM's are great because OUR DEVS ARE AWESOME

Thank you. Android is awesome!
I´m trying GingerDX, the only problem I have found is the keyboard. it was too big for the screen (Unmodified X8 port) but ThickButtons from the market fixed it. Loving Gingerbread so far. On a side note, my new phone, and thus Android, has put some stress between me and my wife, because ive been spending more time with the phone than with her! lol!
Indeed the devs are awesome. THANK YOU!!!!!

From flykernel to Las_Venturax

I'm currently running cm-flykernel-12a-android-2.3.4+apps2sd on the CM7 nightlys. If I flash Las_Venturax over it will I loose the apps2sd option and not be able to access the apps on my card? I would post in the kernel topic but I don't have enough posts to be considered important enough for Dev talk yet.

[Q] Internal SD problem Macbook pro (Rom MIUI 1.9.2)

Hi guys! yesterday i've installed MIUI 1.9.2 on my Galaxy S2 and I have a strange problem... when I try to explore the Internal SD on my Macbook Pro i can explore only the external SD card and I don't know why... How can I explore the internal?
I hope that someone can help me...
Thanks!
no one?? Please..
Check the rom specifications and Q&A .
jje
i checked but I didn't find anything... on windows it goes.. I think it's a problem of the macbook but before I installed the rom it worked on the Mac, I don't know
There are still some problems with Internal and External mounting on the SGS2 build of MIUI. You'll really have to wait for MIUI to be officially supported. This needs the SGS2 to be supported by Cyanogen, as MIUI is built on Cyanogenmod. So first we will need a stable CM build, then we could see official MIUI support.
The current MIUI build is 'home-made' by bmarko82.
I'll wait thank you

[Q]Device Not seeing external SD cards on Custom Rom?

Hi, i know i'm a noob, i recently flashed AOKP Milestone jb 1 ROM for my gs3 i9300, but the device is not seeing my external SDCard which worked fine on stock rom and Android Revolution HD, is there a way to make it appear? Or should i go back to stock rom?
Thanks in advance
search, this has been discussed many times. exFAT cards only work on Sammy-based ROMs, format it to fat32

[Q] Is it possible to dual boot?

Basically, I want 2 ROMs on my phone. Stock GB and CM10
I know our internal storage is too low, but we can increase our internal storage by using Link2sd right?
So is Dualbooting possible on our phone? Has anyone tried? Let me know in the comments and how did you do it
U can increase internal memory using link2sd, but u cant increase system partition... BTW dual boot requires a kernel which supports dual booting... But for now we dont have any kernel that supports dual booting... & u cant install stock gb & cm10 with dual boot, because gb needs gb kernel to boot & jb needs jb kernel to boot, so dual boot will only support same version of android like gb & gb or ics & ics...

THis is an older thread in our very own forum
YOu might read those posts cos quite a few dependable,witty people have answered there and sadly,till date Dual Booting on our NEO/V hasn't been possible and won't be in future too (DooMLord or a dev of his level could really make it happen but Now that ain't gonna happen ,so no point !!! )
