Hello, I put update-oxygen-2.3.2-LGP500-KANG-signed_v2.8.zip on my LG P500... I tested it for some minutes, but then struggled when viewing the app-information:
After I installed e.g. Titanium-Backup from google play, it was a) under the apps on SD-card (?!?), but b) offered me to move to SD-card ?!?)... strange strange... when I choose move to SD-Card and then move to Phone... it is still listed under the apps on SD-card...
Background info: prior to oxygen I had the original LG 2.3.3 version with an SD-card on it that has no 'specific' partitions... it is one single ordinary FAT32 partition...
Has this strange SD-card behaviour something to do with the partitioning of the SD-card? Is app to SD not working anymore like it did with LG Android 2.3.3?
Edit:
I put my question here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32367994#post32367994
So this post can be deleted...

I installed the magnificent Cronos 0.0.9 ROM (Android 2.3 Gingerbread) in my HTC Hero, following dkelley's instructions on the Developer forum for that device. It works brilliantly, speed is superb, and it looks like battery life is going to be better than the Cyanogen 6.1 it replaced.
Everything works for me : Camera, compass, GPS (sort of), auto brightness.
But there is one unusual problem. I cannot find any other forum threads that refer to this. When I use menu->Settings->Applications->Manage Applications, I can move apps to or from the SD card. Except it doesn't work most of the time. I get this message: "Failed to move application. There is not enough storage left"
I have 24MB free on the phone and 2.4GB free on the SD card. So it should not have a problem when I try to move anything (all but 2 of my apps are under 7MB). I have seen a case of being successful with an app of 730K moving to SD. But when I remove that, and try again with a 410K app, it fails. 90% of apps I have tried have failed.
I was very successful with this in my previous ROM, so I know it's not read errors on the SD.
I did forget to delete the old apps dot directory on the SD card before the upgrade. I don't know if that can cause a problem.
As I am too shiny and new, I can't post on the developer forum. A good rule, if it keeps the noise level slightly lower.
So I thought I would post here & see if anyone knows of general fixes for app 2 SD problems of this kind. Maybe it's just that the ROM is too Beta & it's to be expected. That's what happens out at the ragged edge
If u don't have an ext partition on your sdcard then I'm afraid it won't work on Cronos GB 0.0.9 Beta because the apps moved to External are moved on the fat partition and they Force Close all the time anyway on this rom. Now ... app2sd works verry weird on this rom. If u have an ext partition on your sdcard and if u want your apps to be on that partition (and they wont FC on you) all you need to do is let them on Internal (move to phone) and not External (move to sdcard). The apps are installed/moved to the ext partition instead and not on the phone's actual memory (again... as I said weird but it works). If u want to be able to move the apps to sdcard .. I recomend you back-up your files from sdcard to your pc, go to recovery and make an ext partition and wipe it(just in case) and boot your phone and try installing your apps.I'm installing my apps automaticaly to the ext partition by choosing the Install Location to Internal from CM Extra->Application settings. Sorry I wrote alot and if I haven't made myself clear but I'm still at work (3rd shift) and I am tired.
Example: I have a 2gb sdcard... On it I have the ext partition of 240MB, the rest is the fat partition.If I leave my apps on Internal(move to phone), my Phone's Memory is 140/173MB and my ext partition 47.5/240MB .. If I move them to External(move to sd card), My Phone's Memory is 140/173 and my ext partition is about 230/240 MB because the apps are moved to the fat partition (with your errors) and they Force Close when launched on this rom.
You're right, I can see that in the release notes. I am surprised, it's a long time since I have used a ROM that supported ext partitions. Most of them seem to use the Google apps2SD method now.
Cyanogen has even stated that it is no longer officially supported by them.
So I guess it's just individual developers who still prefer the ext approach that still use it.
It's not too hard to do...
Thanks for the tip
You're welcome! Remember that your sdcard content will be deleted when you will partition your sdcard so make a backup if you need them. I find ext is better than normal because you can use the apps from your sdcard while you phone is connected to the computer (your PC mounts the fat partition and leaves the ext partition to be used as normal on the phone and I find that a good thing)
How to Move apps from Phone memory to SD in Android 2.1
in Xperia X10
My phone is rooted.
any help????
Your options would be scripts like DarkTremor or (the slightly more user-friendly) Link2SD.
But be warned: both are not 100% stable... I've finally removed DarkTremor after a lot of issues: How about upgrading to a custom ROM instead?
Hi.
I dont want to start new topic so I use this one to describe my problem.
I read a lot of webs to find solution but here's comes some problems with that.
I've got Samsung Gio S5560 and 4GB SD card. After creating 2 primary partitions FAT32 and ext2 link2sd says that "no space left on device" and i cannot do anything. Even when I use 2GB card or create partition f.e. ext3 it doesn't works.
Can anyone help with that ?
Sorry for my english. I hope is understandable
Of course phone had been rooted.
Android 2.2.1
Regards.
I'm not sure how these scripts determine which partition to use... have you tried partitioning through ClockworkRecovery? Maybe they need the partitions in a certain order or (more likely) some other requirement. CR would very likely take any such requirements into account.
P.S. Your English sounds fine to me, but this doesn't come from a native speaker either, so...
I used to create partitions MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition. On YT there ale some tutorials so I used them. At the beginning I create FAT32 and then ext2. Maybe at the morning I try some new configs with my SD card.
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?
Hello World,
I've got a question concerning the external 8gb sdcard on my phone,
the phone is rooted, has bootloader and cwm 6, the rom is stock btw
My phone can put/place some things to the sd but some don't,
for example,
- Camera saves some of the pics to it,
- My PC sees it when I connect the phone and I can put apps/music etc to it
but,
- I can't use the app2sd built into android assistant (or any other app2sd apps) to move the apps to the sd, they just won't see the sd,
- CWM wont backup to it,
No /sdcard/.android_secure found. Skipping backup of applications on external storage

I've searched the forum, but I can't actually find the right solution for this?
I'm new to all of this, and I want to learn. I've found some advices to similar problems and that the solution is to partition the sd, is that the catch or maybe something else?
Thank you in advance, newbie.
Edit
A new example of not seeing the sd in recovery,
I wanted to flash the "Sony Album" via the Pimp my Rom app, it downloaded the app successfully, it asked for clearing of the dalvik cache, I approved it,
phone rebooted and went into recovery, and then the recovery said that the file doesnt exist (something like that).
Edit
I've tried formatting the sd with fat32, no changes whatsoever :S
apps to sd
how to move apps to external sd card in lg optimus l5 e612. i had rooted the device and still it shows this device does not support apps to sd.
I have a rooted LG G Pro Lite Dual with stock ROM.
The first reason I rooted my android is to move apps to SD. But on my device, i can't!
I used Link2SD+ to move the apps, but not even one app moved. App moving action is always came with a message, it says:
FAILURE
App2SD is not supported by your device. Because your device has a primary external storage which is emulated from the internal storage.
It also said - Second partition not found -
Please, help me :crying:
