[Help] How to install application and dalvik on EXT - Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello to everyone,
I am writing this because I can't really manage to have application installed on EXT, Dalvik cache neither.
I have tried SuperIceDroid ROM and RazorDroid ROM, Rafael Kernels, Link2SD, Data2Ext fixed and much more...
My main problem is that I don't manage to have the EXT recognised by the system (only Link2SD seems recognize it, but I can't link application to the ext).
Is there a ROM that natively support the auto installation of application on the ext? Do I have to partition the SD with the CWM or with other application? I really don't know how to do, I followed all the step by step instruction...

CM6 Installing

I have big problem in CM6 roms - roms based on MiniCM6. I can't install any application, absoulutly any application. Size of files is doesn't matter. I can't even install terminal to delete file which is in topic FAQ about Cyanogen Froyo. In CM7 i don't have problems like that. What should i do?
Wipe user data before AND after installing the rom, everything should be fine then
If not, backup your SD card and format it.
I always did wipe before and after but it didn't work. Fortunately i downlaoded the newest version of CyaNoComb, i did wipe etc then i set default install into External Memory and it works.

[Q] ROM either GingerDX/MiniCM7Pro and SD-ext

Yesterdey I flashed my phone with both GingerDX V15 + modules (stock rom), and today MiniCM7 Pro (paul-xxx). My problem is that in neither one of them I can use my SD-EXT partition to install programs, etc... I partitioned my sd with CWM. Everything is ok: CWM recognizes the partition, programs like Titanium, S2E, link2SD, etc, all of them recognize the sd-ext partition. But in Cyanogen configuration options, in applications settings, I only have 3 options "Internal, SD Card, Automatic), and the next option, "Extended internal", I think, which I assume that's the SD-EXT partition, is grey... I Can't select it. Like if it wasn't recognized. Even when I connect it to my pc, all partitions are recognized. Another weird thing is that I think that dalvik-cache is being written there...
Long story, short: my sd-ext partition exists, its recognized by all kind of applications, but Cyanogenmod settings doesn't recognize it.
I know that I can use my FAT partition to install programs, but I want to use my ext, keep things separated...
Thank you in advance

[Q] s2e won't move dalvik cache to sd-ext

I have an Optimus V running IHO with s2e installed.
I am trying to use s2e to copy my dalvik cache to my sd-ext partition, but it's not working. I check the box and it says "reboot required", so I reboot, re-open s2e, and it still says "reboot required". I don't think it actually copied it to sd-ext.
How can I get it to copy my dalvik cache (~107MB)?
I havent heard of iho. But s2e is only for cm7 based roms...

Android is right, you can only use with cm7...try using ungaze or darktremor

IHO is based of CM 7.1. s2e copied my apps and download cache to my sd-ext just fine, it's the dalvik cache it's having issues with.
I had the same problem yesterday, uninstall s2e than reinstall from market and all of those blocked selections will be available to check....giving your on a cm7 rom...if that doesn't work repartition the sdcard than reinstall the s2e.apk than select which options you want moved to sdext and it should work

Try wiping dalvik-cache, maybe the new one will be created on the sd-ext.

I tried that, didn't work
I think the partition is corrupted, try formatting again

I currently have my apps and download cache on sd-ext. That worked (works) fine.
I just noticed that I have both /cache/dalvik-cache and /data/dalvik-cache. Could this be why I can't move it to sd-ext?

I tried uninstalling and re-installing s2e, didn't work. The weird thing is that my apps and my download cache moved to sd-ext just fine.
im having the same problem. just loaded bobzhome CM7.2.0 on my optimus v. it will move anything but the dalvik cache. whats the problem?
IMPORTANT NOTE!!!!!
i moved applications only to the SD ext partition. after this i wasnt able to load many of my apps, the most important of which was s2e. so i wasnt able to undo the move. fortunately this happened early on after i flashed the new rom. so i just called it a bad job and reflashed the rom.
im giving up on the idea of extending my ext partition. i just reformatted my SD card for basic SD storage. i will just have to live within my means. not being able to move the Dalvik cache should have been enough to ward me off, but after having it mess my apps up too im not going to try again until im really desperate.
Personally I tried ungaze a d s2e and darktremor was my favorite. You get the .zip for recovery and the UI in market, search for darktremor in it. You will have the option to move dalvik cache to sd ext. My ext is formated in ext4 by the way, might be your problem. I write here mainly to tell you that in my own experience moving dalvik to sd-ext on top of my apps to sd-ext made my rom laggy and slow. Apps only worked fine. Darktremor's the best. Try it.

Mount as Ext4
how r u partitioning the sd card? I use mini tool and have partitioned it fine. make sure you make a fat32 1st, 2nd ext2 & 3rd Linux swap (see attached image - Disc 2 as example). Thats the only way it works. Best of luck Also, once s2e is installed, open s2e > menu > settings > select option 'Mount as Ext4'. I will not recommend moving applications and private apps, just move dalvik cache and download cache.

I have been going round and round with this issue for a long time.... i used mini tool and other programs like darktremor and NONE worked,
I used mini tool like nth20 has stated only I created a fat32 partition,
I used the integrate SYS davik option in titanium backup!
I am useing a IHO rom that has link2sd and that worked for me...
good luck i have reflashed and tried so many roms and was finally able to get this to work.

I don't really want to move the dalvik-cache, to sd-ext, but when I try to install or update anything from the market, I get "package file invalid". I'm assuming that the error is that my cache is full.

Do you need a swap partition for dalvik cache to move correctly? I didn't add one, so that may be the issue. Unfortunately, I have too many apps, and I need them moved to sd-ext, because they don't fit in the internal memory.

"integrate SYS davik option", eh? That looks interesting, let me try it. That seemed to help. s2e still didn't move the cache, but I can correctly install/update from the market now.

Yup. Either your dalvik cache or download cache or both cannot find enough space in internal memory.

You need the swap partition as apps use it the space while installations. Saves you from the 'package file invalid' error.
Hope this helps.

I was able to use Titanium Backup's "Intergrate Sys Dalvik into ROM", and that fixed the problem (it moved ~20MB of stuff).

I can try to add one, and see if that helps, but I think if I can install apps now, then I don't need to actually move the dalvik cache.

Just 20MB. That's kinda low. Attached is a screenshot from my device. Check the size of the dalvik cache.

Moving from link2SD to another apps2SD script

Currently I have an HTC Explorer on the stock ROM with stock kernel, and it is rooted and I use link2SD to move all my apps to my SD card. However, this method does not move the application data. I would like to install a new apps2SD script that will move app data as well as apps, as I am running out of space due to the data.
The problem I am facing is that with link2SD, I am using a FAT32 partition (my current stock kernel does not support ext partitions). Almost all my apps are on this FAT32 partition. I believe if I switch to a different script, I must use an ext partition. I think I will need to install a custom kernel that supports ext partitions (and init.d scripts?) and create a new ext partition.
My questions are these:
1. Will installing a new kernel be enough without installing a new ROM? (If so, can anyone suggest one for the Explorer that adds ext & init.d support? Preferably as few other features as possible, I'd like to stick reasonably close to stock)
2. How can I move all my existing apps from the FAT32 partition to the ext partition, and also move all the data currently on internal storage to the ext partition, without losing anything? (If I back everything up with Titanium Backup, make the switch, and then restore the backup once the script is installed, will that work? If so, do I need to do a wipe at any point?)
3. Which apps2SD script should I use? I have read about several, and have no idea which is best.
4. How do I actually make the switch? Do I uninstall link2SD, remove the FAT32 partition and replace it with an ext2 partition, install the new script in recovery, then boot up? Or would that cause problems with the remnant symlinks made by link2SD? Do I need to do a wipe at some point?
I realise I am asking a lot of questions here, at this point I am beginning to regret not going with a custom kernel and a full a2sd script in the first place. Any help would be much appreciated.
Would like to know also..

[Q] Google Play and Dialer problems in CM9

First, english is not my native language, so mistakes can occur
i've installed bieltv.3's CM9 for my Ace-i and it looks great, very smooth. But there're 2 things i don't like.
- The dialer app can't call to anyone. The others only receive calls from my ace but i can't do anything: Try to stop the call, turn back to the launcher by pressing home button, etc
- The google play store always show error 491. I tried many solutions such as deleting and readding google account, clear cache, reinstall it. None works
That's all. And i only can say thanks to anyone who help me with this becuz i'm Vietnamese
CM9 will never be stable for daily use. Bieltv.3 stopped development of it. CM11 has the basic functions working, except the moderate lag it has.
There is a help section for this matter and KAGE is right , dump it in favor of either cm11 or cm7 roms for more stable environments . However some bugs are common among CM's though , due to the fact drivers never been published and other things .
For Google play error 491 have you done the following process , after deleting your Gmail account (delete the Google Play updates too, if you have on your system) :
settings>>Apps>>All> Force stop, Clear data and cache for Google Play Store, Google Service Framework and Download Manager
Reboot your device and add you account ?
Second quick method was about clearing both cache and Dalvik cache through CWM ,, assuming you have done it correctly though .
Another solution which might work for your CyanogenMod 9.1 - BroadcomCM Beta 5 is a specific library and a binary was not included in the ROM ( fixed by Nightly Coder ) :
- Added libdrmframework_jni.so to /system/lib
- Added drmserver to /system/bin
Uninstall your old Google Apps package with the App Manager of the ES File Explorer ( i.e: GoogleApps_GearCM_CM9_20140711) and rest of the instruction from here and here ,, Follow them carefully to resolve your 491 error .
Hope i di help U and next time make your topic @ proper sub forum ( Help section not general part ).
I know and now I'm using cm11 now. It's not so smooth as cm9 and stock GB but it's still so cool. For now I only got 10.23mb left on /system partition because the cm11 was too heavy to put in with other flashable apps even GAPPS. Thanks u guys for advising me. Sorry for bad English

For your CM11 , you can get yourself some extra storage by implanting modified version of S2E script/app from this topic .
Here is the installation and guideline process for your convenience mate :
1. Download and install S2E
2 .Reboot in CWM recovery
3. Go to advanced>partition SD card>choose size (512mb or 1024mb)
4. After that choose ext 4 then choose 0mb as swap partition and continue
4. After this is done go to mount and storage and format sd-ext there
5. Reboot your device
6. Open up the S2E app you should see now that it will give you GUI or a menu and can choose 'Applications' and 'Dalvik cache' to send to you sd-ext
7. After doing all that reboot your phone and your done
Hope I did help You

Link to the apk/script clearly stated , it was modified for CM11 only , but you can get the general stance of the app/script from play store as well . If you got any problem after you planted it inside your CM11 , please notify me for further assistance .

Ok, now i'm using modded s2e from psyke83. It running well, but there's no option that it will mount /system to /sd-ext, only for the /data partition.

SD card has a serious low read and write access in comparison with your internal Nand flash memory , so imagine what will happen to your critical functioning parts of your OS when whole /system partition being transferred into your /SD-ext lol
You just created an ext4 partition on your SD card and used S2E to move your apps and free up internal phone memory , which is the purpose of this mod by moving your Dalvik and applications .
The ext4 partition is mounted as /sd-ext, with directories /mount points for apps, Dalvik cache. The data existing on the internal /data/app, /data/Dalvik-cache, etc, is moved to these new directories and the directories mounted within the /data file system structure of the phone without any effect on your speed and stability of your system. Thus, the phone is using the stuff on /sd-ext ( the ones i instructed )just as it used to use stuff within internal memory.
Hope i Did Help You
