Well, im finally stay in Rom Stock 2.3.6 and i wanna add internal memory.
Is possible install Cronmod script o use another way to add internal memory on Rom Stock?
Thanks in advance.
First root your device. Then you heve 2 options.
Either use Pimp my rom from google play and add init.d support to your stock. And use whatever script you want.
Or get link2sd from google play. Make ext2 partition in your sd card. And move all user apps to there.

I prefer link2sd, if i am not wrong cronmod lags after 50 or similar prog count. I have over 800 mb prog around 200 in count and with LightSpeed Intervention script my phone is very smooth.

Thanks, im going to install Link2SD then.
Which format u recommend for partition? and u have a tutorial to partition the SD?
Thanks in advance.
PD : Whats is LightSpeed Intervention script? can install in stock?
You can create partition on microSD card in any ROM I guess. I'm also on 2.3.6 & I've a 1024 Mb partition on my mSD card. All you need Clockworkmod recovery for your device ( you'll find it on google ) & link2sd ( available in PlayStore )
Method :
1. Reboot into Clockworkmod recovery.
2. In CWM, Advanced >> Partition SD card.
3. Once the option is selected, you will be given options to choose the sizes for the sd-ext partition as 128,256,512,1024, 2048 ans so on. This will be the size of your first partition where apps are moved using a2sd,link2sd etc.
4. Now you will be given the option to select size of an optional /swap partition on the SD card. If you don’t want a swap partition then select 0.
5. The remaining space will be used for normal SD card usage. When you press ok, the recovery will do the rest for you. It may take a little time so be patient.
* Do Not Forget To Copy All Of Your SD Card Data Cause The Process Gonna Delete Them All.

Some goes to your cache, dalvik-cache, messages, pretty much anything else. Some are on the system partition.
Also, regarding the Darktremor question, I'm one of those people who would say no. Actually, it's up to you. I just stick to FroYo's way of doing it, since I get to have more control and stuff over what goes to the SD and what stays in the phone memory (eg launchers and keyboards).

Thanks. but what does partition your sd card and wipe everything do? i always ignore that if want to flash things. btw im using megatron rom not void?
if your using megatron then darktremors a2sd is already part of the rom so u dnt need to install it. how many apps do u have anyways?

hmm but why some of my apps cant be put to sd card.
so far, i have installed 40 apps. only 15 of them cant be put in sd card. the rest in my sd card. but i had to delete 3 to free up my phone memory cause currently my phone memory is 19mb.
is there any other way? if there arent. then there is no point of having 8gb its better just to have 512mb sd card. grrrr
well,if you have not partitioned your sd....there's no way the app2sd included in megatron can work!!
ok,make a backup of your sd,then in recovery mode select
partition sdcard > partiton sd
then select
partition sdcard > SD:ext2 to ext3
then select
partition sdcard > SD:ext3 to ext4
now it should work.
if it doesn't,reflash your rom after a complete wipe (you'll lose all your data and settings)

Press the 3 key combo to get in (vol down + home + power) then use the volume buttons to get to USB-MS toggle. You use the menu button on the very right side of your phone to enter. It will allow you to copy the ROM from your pc to the sd card. Remember to exit USB mode afterwards.
hi yal
my internal memory have about 40mb left and is startting to get low ..
so is there a way to increase it ? i use tita backup to move apps but there still traces of bytes left ...i have about 60apps / games and themes ...so any help?
Look for "Link2Sd" in the market that's the easiest way I think.

link2sd needs partition sd card yes? how do i partition it by the way?
Flash cm7 and use s2e ..after that ull be trying to find apps to fill the memory but u will never be able to fill it cause even if u have 130apps (like i had) it uses ONLY 50 MB ..reamaning goes to sd ext..u can partition ur sd card using CWM5/CWM4...
Sent from my SGA rocking CM7.2 by vo-1 + all-in-one script
Link2SD:
What is needed:
- Root Permission
- The second partition on the SD Card, and both MUST PRIMARY
The first partition is the default storage of data on the SDcard. The second partition (which will be created) is a partition for storage applications for Link2sd.
download "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition" on the PC, then plug the sdcard in the PC (u can directly use the phone, or card reader). by using this program, agan no need to format, partition, or delete data in the beginning, to create a new partition.
Install and open minitool, select the drive which will be partitioned sdcard, select resize the unallocated area. for PRIMARY, NOT logical. Free partition size is up. klo above 2GB FAT32 file system should pake. FAT32 support is generally on all phones. APPLY, and then turn on the phone.
(for more secure data back up anyway in the SD Card)
- Install Link2sd, have mounted, select FAT32, restart again and Tada!! Applications can be moved to SD, ga who need to use complicated script
Good luck. and must have successfully ...
Good Tutorial !

is there a difference between s2e and apps2sd? i used link2sd before on my old w8 (forgot how to partition now ) but it's quite unstable since apps constantly force crahses
oh oh ! can i partition using cwm ? like this
http://acetips.wordpress.com/2011/10/03/how-to-partition-your-sd-card/
i don't dare to use yet since i fear it will screw my phone
Do NOT use ClockWorkMod !!!
You can flash ClockWorkMod Recovery ,from where you can partition your Sd Card.
For cwm recovery there is no root needed,just flash it from stock recovery.
I hope that helped
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA App
oh ok then so i reboot to cwm then partition?
Yes, under the "advanced" tab
Select the Size of your 2nd Partition and 0mb for cache (not needed)
Remember that all your data from SD Card will be deleted !
Then reboot your Phone and start link2SD. When you´re asked about 2nd partition format, choose ext2 (I hope, I didn´t use this for ages!) If you get an error, it was the wrong format
Link2SD will ask you for a reboot and after that you can start to move your apps.
One Question, the build-in option to move apps is not enough ? I am not using so many apps, so I really don´t know.
Greetings!
[LINK BACK]
While installing rom people often ask for link2sd or s2e support
As of enabling Dark tremor app2sd is difficult for them....
I did an extensive research and came up successful in using and applying it....
I would like to share it here....
####
Before beginning it is assumed that you have a custom clockwork mod recovery and a custom rom is installed on your device. Alternatively, if you are in a stock firmware/rom and want to partition your sd card please Install Clock Work Mod Recovery and Flash a Custom Rom on your device. Also since partitioning your sd card will erase all your data stored in sd card, it is recommended that you backup your data to your computer. Now that you have backed up your data please follow these simple instructions to partition your sd card and install Darktremor App2sd script on your android smart phone.
PARTITIONING SD CARD
_________________________________
1. Reboot your device into Clockwork Mod Recovery.
2. Go to Advance>>Partition SD Card option on your recovery and select a size (for ext 3 partition). This will create an ext 3 file system partition on your sd card called sd-ext. The size of your sd-ext partition should be determined on the basis of how much apps and games you are going to install on your device.
i have 1 Gb sd-ext on 8 gb memory ...
3. Also, select swap partition size as 0 Mb (select 64 or more for gaming purpose)
4. [Optional] Format your sd-ext from mounts and storage>>fromat /sd-ext option in CWM recovery.
5. Reboot your device and open a terminal emulator or shell commander and type in the following command to make sure that your second partition (aka sd-ext partition) is mounted at boot.
mount | grep sd-ext
You should see the following code:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /sd-ext type ext3 (rw,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1,nodelalloc,data=ordered)
INSTALLING DTAPPS2SD
___________________________________________
6. Now download Darktremor Apps2SD (link bottom) and copy it to your sdcard.
7. Reboot your device in CWM recovery and then mount your data and system by going to mounts and storage>>mount /data and mounts and storage>>mount /system options respectively.
8. Now go back to main menu and go to install zip from sd>>choose zip from sdcard option and select the dtapps2sd-2.7.5.3-beta04-signed.zip file you downloaded from above.
9. After the script is installed reboot your device.
That’s all. You have successfully installed Darktremor Apps2SD on your device .
Note that the device will reboot again after you reboot your device. This is just to move all your apps to the second partition (sd-ext partition) and is normal.
Also if you want to manage your Apps2SD settings you can either use commands in terminal emulator or download the APPS2SDGUI application from market and manage everything from there. One of the useful command can be a2sd help. Try it on any terminal to see the help file that comes with Darktremor A2SD.
How to check if Apps2SD has been installed correctly...
________________________________________
The following information is for those who are still unsure of whether Apps2SD has been installed and if it is working correctly after root.
Open a Terminal Editor on your phone
When you have the client open, type "su" to gain super user access, and then hit enter. Now type "ls -l /data" and hit enter. You should see a few lines, a couple of which should read on the far right column:
dalvik-cache -> /system/sd/dalvik-cache
app-private -> /system/sd/app-private
app -> /system/sd/app
Notice the -> indicating symlinks and the 'sd'
You can also run: busybox df -h to check the /system/sd that the folder is being used
If this output is visible to you, then Apps2SD is working properly and you have installed it correctly. You will notice that by checking Menu > Settings > SD & phone storage, there is still some internal memory going down due to cache, other data, etc, but the main apps all go on the SD card given the above result. I currently have 29 apps installed (including Google Earth, which is 22.1 MB in size itself) and my internal memory currently shows 119MB of available space.
You can perform more extensive checks by executing the following command:
ls /system/sd/app (this will list all the apps which you have installed to the SD card)
CONFIGURING APPS2D
_________________________________________________________
open terminal emulator,, and type the following:
• a2sd check : Checks a2sd status; displays information incl. where your apps, cahce and data are stored.
• a2sd cachesd : Moves dalvik cache to sd-ext partition.
• a2sd nocache : Moves dalvik cache back to internal storage.
• a2sd data2sd : Move /data/data to /sd-ext/data .
• a2sd nodata : Move /sd-ext/data back to internal storage.
• a2sd remove : Moves apps back to internal storage and sets no a2sd flag.
or u can simply use app2sdgui to do things.. a help is given in app just proceed on installing the app and go to help menu
PRECAUTIONS: tips you should take in mind
________________________________________
After installing Darktremor Apps2SD don’t move your apps to sdcard either from Manage Applications Settings or by using app2sd pro or similar applications because it will ruin all your settings and your script will not work .
Also you may notice that your used space in internal storage shown in Manage Applications Setting is not decreasing even after you install Apps2SD and you may think that the script is not working. But remember if you followed all the instructions from above and got the same results as explained above then the script is working. It is shown so because system is fooled to believe that the apps are in internal storage but in reality they are stored in the secondary partition we created (i.e. in /sd-ext/app folder) on your device.
HAPPY INSTALLING APP2SD script...

Can anyone help me about find the solution for enabling ext4 and swap partition in ICS roms.
on GB i flash script by darktermor and then my swap partition and ext4 partition works perfectly and after installing apps,they move automatically to ext partition.
But in ICS this script doesnt work and when I install link2sd it ask about my partition but it moves my apps to android.secure not ext partition and my swap partition doesnt work.
I tried mesa kernel,kernel panic,but in terminal my swap partition is 0 .
Can you help me please
Thing is, darktremore a2sd doesnt work well with ics/jb. Try mount2sd script, can mount swap partition too.

My phone is xperia mini pro

Can I use your kernel will it enable this ?
Or it is because of my rom that it cant support this ?
mount2sd need a type of sysinit that invoke init.d script after boot, and my kernel does support it.
just make sure u create partition correctly eg:
1st partition as fat32, primary. this is for usual sdcard files.
2nd partition as ext2/3/4, primary, this is for mount2sd use for moving dalvik, apps, apps data etc.
3rd partition swap.
I use swap and ext partition on GB as well and had no problem.
but now even use mesa but it cant mount my sd card i install both aroma installer and legacy install of mount2sd script but it doesnt work.

I believe CWM defaults to ext4. If you didn't make any other partitions, then your SD card partition structure should be as follows now:
/mnt/sdcard, FAT, primary
/sdext, ext4, primary
Try using link2sd's menu to recreate mount scripts, & choose ext4. Also, make sure you're still rooted properly, and still have expected su access.

Ah, good catch! I didn't notice that.
If you don't want to flash a new ROM, you can format the 2nd partition as FAT, and link2sd has the option to mount that the same way as others.
