Yeah, you missed the part of the MoDaCo ROM release notes that tells you that A2SD is installed as part of the ROM.
yeh but i dnt get that option when i boot in the recovery screen thats y i downloaded app2sd

That's 'cos it isn't an option - you have to repartition your card and then A2SD (built into MCR2.2) moves your apps when it detects the ext3 partition.
You need to partition your SD card using computer, the phone itself can only 'format' the card which is no good. As per http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/A2SD:
The SDcard will need two partitions, the first Fat / Fat32 & the second Ext2 For the Ext2 partition I wouldn't go higher than 1.5GB cuz you may run into some issues. I was staying around the 500MB / 750MB area & it was working nice. As all the guides I've read state not to exceed the 1.5GB Marker.

Although a lot of guides say to use Ext3, Ext2 works fine for me. Remember, only newly (re)installed apps will be put onto the SD card- the old ones stay on the phone's own memory.

Incorrect if using MCR2.x; preinstalled apps are also moved.
Only if moving from an earlier Modaco ROM, everyone else has to wipe first. If Fezy had not partitioned his card first then his apps would be installed to internal memory and I don't think that partitioning the card subsequently will cause those apps to be moved to it.
Hi thanks for all replies your assistant is much appreciated. As i'm new to android (coming from symbian) I was doing so much research i ended up getting confused with all the stuff i saw. But just the day before yesterday actually realised what you just said. I had decided to manually create a partition on computer and did it up to ext 3 etc but thought it didnt work because again i tried to use da apps2sd application to move the apps ( i know "what a noob") and hadn't realised that the applications had alrdy transferred (i only realsied later when i saw 93mb of free phonestorage space) so i ended up doing it all again and as u can gess i lost all my applications lolz, but i had a backup created beforehand so it worked ou .
Thanks again for the help shluggity and squiffsquiff really appreciate it guys.
p.s all the preinstalled apps got moved first time hence me losing all the apps when i tried it again.
hy everyone...
i have my Hero rooted, and I pushed Superuser.apk and everything is fine...
but, I can't make apps2sd working...
can anyone help me with this...
thanks a lot..
You'd probably have to be a bit more specific about what isn't working for people to be able to help you.
However, a common thing I've heard with apps2sd which might be your problem is the following: the phone actually has to store some of the application in the phone itself even if the majority of the application is on the SD card. Therefore it can appear like your application is on the phone even with apps2sd working properly. The way to check this would be to check how much space is available on the phone, download and install a large program from the market and then see if the decrease in space available on the phone is the same as the size of the program you downloaded.
Well steve...
I formated my Hero last night, wiped it clean, and than i rooted it and pushed 'su' and 'Superuser.apk' and every thing is working. moved my cache into sd...
and i partitioned my 4GB SD card into 3 partitions:
1. 100MB Linux-swap
2. 512MB ext2
3. the rest into Fat32
I rebooted my Hero, it did recognize my SD.
but still apps2sd does not work...
1st edition of the application gives me that my SD isn't formatted properly and the second edition comes to the reboot button and doesn't reboot...
NOT WORKING
i can reformat my second partition (ext2) to ext3 or ext4 but don't know will it help...
Should I update my Firmware..?!
Thanks for ur time...

I think rooting alone is not enough to get A2SD to work. You actually need the app A2SD in the /system/bin folder of your phone. Why don't you simply flash Modacos rom 2.6 which comes with automatic support for A2SD? For that, you would need Ext3 partition.
thanks salmanbodla
my problem is that I am on the move all the time...
don't have wireless connection in the car or train for my laptop all the time, and can't use the phone alone to do that,,,
I have only one day OFF and I am trying to do all that next week
if there any other tips to get apps2sd work with out flashing the rom it will be nice...

I can't think of a simpler way than the one I suggested. Seriously, it is very quick... all you need is to download the right stuff from these forum's (Hero Android Development) as well as the Android SDK so that you can use ADB (if required... that's actually optional). Can you not wait until your next day off ad try it then?
))
yes, I can wait...
thanks a lot
I just want to thank everyone who tried to help me...
I downloaded Modaco's 2.7 ROM and updated my phone... Now everything is working perfectly... all three partitions are working, the phone is fast, and has a lot of memory...
there are some new stuff on it... its good )
now I can travel with all my emails working perfect, and all apps and maps...
and no worries that my phone will tell there is a shortage in the memory...
Hi all.
First of all, I apologize if my post already exist.
I have a prob with my sd card that can't be recognized with the achtojan ROM downloaded from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151933.
My sd card is configured to be using with link2sd (2 partitions, one with FAT32 that have almost all my datas and applications saved in it , and the other in ext2).
The question is, what can I do to make my sd card recognized with both FAT32 and ext2 because I wanna to use link2sd again, whether with this ROM or with any other ROM having this prob.
Thanks for your precious help.

First of all nothing to do with development, second a few threads down is a simular topic if you had searched and 3rd why not take it to the Dev's thread of whose rom you are using, i am sure he not bite.

Thanks for reply, but, the prob in the post you suggested to me isn't the same. And I won't format my sd card, because I've a lot of things in it, and it will be a hard work to copy all in my pc, and before all, I wanna to use link2sd with the ROM I use, whether if it will be the achtojan ROM or any other.
Please, if there is something that can i do, let me so. Thanks.

Use mini tool data recovery this will repair your card without losing data, can be found here it's free for home users.
http://www.powerdatarecovery.com/
This might sound obvious but next time backup your sd card first before partitioning, even though it says it wont interfere with your data. I had the same problem but luckily i had a backup.
I think that you did not well understood my problem. The fact is that my sd card already works on another ROM without any issue, it has just to be detected with the ROM that I use at present, here it is.

Look buddy i gave you the link and the answer you are looking for in my first post to you, do some searching and reading, here is the post in that thread that solves your issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15824115&postcount=12
also it applies to the same rom you are using.
Look dude, I saw you that there are big big big differences between the problem in the post you suggested to me and my problem. First : I have in my sd card 2 partitions (one in FAT32 with lot of datas and the other one in EXT2 for use of link2sd) and the sd card have to be detected, but the poste have just a problem with formatting his sd card. Second : my sd card already work with another ROM with no issue, if I reflash to the other ROM, it will certainly work with no prob of detecting. Third : I wanna to rest with the ROM I've flashed actually (I mean Achtojan's ROM) and fixing this issue if somebody can help without formatting the sd. That's all.
Thanks for your tries to help, but it seems that you don't understood my request the first time, then you tryed with something useless in our case. Anyway, Thanks for your tries again.
Why don't you just copy all your data to your pc, delete your partition, restore your data and then use the rom you want, why have you issue in formatting your sdcard?
Sent from my X10 using XDA Premium App
It is a known issue for ALL custom ROMs.
They actually mount the 2nd partition of the SD -if there are more than 1.
Being an ext2, it's not recognised by the system as storage space.
So if you want to use a custom ROM, Link2sd is a NO-GO.
You need to reformat your SD into a single FAT32 partition. That's the way it is.
Also, I have wrote this exact same post more than 10 times. So, the question has already been asked. Using Search is not always easy but it pays off eventually. Please make the effort next time.
Xperia X10i via Tapatalk
This is a general problem in EVERY 2.2+ ROM for X10
My guess is that the new vold (known also as "vold2") that manages the storage devices is not properly configured.
My_Immortal and me were the ones who tried to find an actual cure for the root of the problem, but both of us ended up PMing the devs
Try to write a nice message to Zdzihu, Jerpelea or even DoomLord(that guy surely has some knowledge as well) and cross your fingers
Till it's not fixed try to stay on 2.1 as the new Gingerbread update is on its way... hopefully.
oops, someone was faster than me... or I was just polite to let the girls be the first
i will again say what everyone else has said before.
link2sd has problems with custom rom's so far.
check my sig for details on how you can have multiple partitions and still get your card detected in custom ROMs
however basic problem is X10 checks the last partition (should be vfat) mounts it as /sdcard
link2sd takes /sdcard partition number and add's a 1 to it to get ext2 partition. (which could not exist)
on top of that xrec will take first partition as /sdcard when you boot to sdcard.
so thats a mess as of now.
i tried vold and other stuff also all in vain even tried contacting the dev behind link2sd asknig him to add a option to select partion but no reply so far.
hope this helps in solving your query.
In the droid forums, there are a thread that speak about this problem too, and many people searching solution managed something to make sd card detecting, but I am not very advanced in the subject, thus I cannot say about it more. Maybe that some of you who know a little more in the subject can find something useful for us there.

ohk sorry to OP first i am hijacking this thread
@Doom, just thinking out loud.
I don't have required tools till next 3-4 hrs
i just need to check how link2sd is mapping (once again last exercise was month back so forgot all of it.)
we can see what volume label he is using to mount the partition and can use hw_config.sh or a new file say /system/etc/init.d/99sd_ext2.sh just about anyname till it has 99 in front making it last item to run.
and add code to mount the partition we want to be mounted in our predefined location that should make it work.
Hope that can work. but will need to check and same as i did last time i will again have to go 3 partitions way.

No problem mate, take your ease. It can help a lot of people.
I've read little in the thread, but as I said it, I am not really very advanced in the subject, and I can make nothing . I can just say to you that with a buddy and the help of this subject, and after a lot of tries, we were able to make his sd card detectable on his phone (an HTC mytouch 3G slide), but I don't rememeber what we have done, and the solution was just temporary. In rebooting the phone, it was necessary to do all again from the beginning, which we were not able to make due to our limited knowledge .
As now, I hope that you or any other person can make anything useful for all people around here.
Thanks for your efforts.
PS : I've temporary returned to EWJET ROM that is already configured for use with a sd card parted. Maybe Erickwill can help too. Good Luck.
ohk a quick check
if something is mounted on /data/sdext2 then link2sd thinks it has found the second partition
what i did was
1) created a temporary img file 100 MB
2) did a loopmount of img file on /data/sdext2 folder
3) link2sd working.
(I know i am lazy i don't want to format my card just wanted to help all as much as i can.)
now this was test so what we are missing here
1) we need a way to automatically mount a pertition on /data/sdext2
2) we will still need 3 partition on sdcard as my last experiment was to check the same and we if want to use ext2 we need
vfat-ext2-vfat to the minimum.
last being your sdcard
first being your recovery sdcard
and ext2 partition used by link2sd
3) tried hw_config.sh as suggested by DooMLorD
even checked /system/etc/init.d/
they all seem to be executing well before sdcard gets mounted or not at all.
so this is where i am stuck and right now out of time need to focus on other tasks.
hope someone can find a way around to this.
NOTE : EWJET ROM are 2.1 rom if i am not wrong. 2.1 roms do support link2sd as of now its basically the problem of 2.2 roms.
I will try your method with the three partition, but I have a question, how to make the third partition detected in windows for copying all my datas in it.
The method with three partitions don't work too. I'm really confused now.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
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

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

then flash this from clockworkmod recovery. before flashing do mount system and data manually

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

So u still loose internal space even after this patchs?
Hey everyone
I have recently bought an android tablet with KitKat and 16 GB internal storage.
But there were just 1gb available memory for installing apps and the remaining 11 GB were USB storage.
As I didn.t like this I tried to partition flash memory with mini partition tool wizard home(or sth like that I donno the name exactly).
I have partitioned the flash memory as following: 3gb for internal storage(fat32), remaining memory for USB storage and 8mb as ext2( I completed this after a tutorial).
Everything was done ,I applied and then I reboot my tablet. When I entered link2sd said that cannot detect my partition. When I get to storage information I realized that I still had 1gb internal memory, but 445mb USB storage. I was a bit panicked so I tried to wipe data, but didn't work. When I tried to repartition the flash memory with mini part tool , the computer couldn't connect to my tablet storage.
I have lost my internal memory(most of it) and now I want to recover it as it was stock.
Plsssss help me I have root access and I think there is a way to fix with root explorer but I don't no it so hopefully you guys understand my issue and help me.
Thanks

Are you rooted?
Edit: nvm you are I see.
You have to use an external SD card for link2sd, does not work with internal storage.

Why would you repartition your storage to a windows (fat32) partition? This is a Linux based system running on ext4. You may just have killed that partition without redoing your device from the boot loader up.

OK I know that but is there any solution to recover my internal storage partition?
I used diskinfo and I realized that my partitions exists but they cannot be mounted.

You will need some sort of default rim update with the correct partitions. It will wipe your device if you can find one. Which depends on the device. You. At have corrupted it beyond any repair you can do. Check the oem site as you. Ever stated what device it is.

OK don't take this the wrong way but you really seem to have no idea what your doing. No you can not fix a partition issue by replacing some system files. You messed the base system up. I would go to the oem site and forums and see if you can find something that will help you. Basically you will have to flash a rom from the boot loader. This should fix your issue. But with it being a minor brand device you may spend a long time finding it but I wish ukulele luck.

Oem stand for original equipment manufacturer. A google search may find it as I have never even heard let alone seen this device.
Now if/when you get it fixed I would advice you to do your proper research before doing something that could leave your device bricked and void your warranty. Age has nothing to do with it. My sons are the same age and know to spend a few hours or even days researching an issue before trying anything. Flashing your device is not an easy, no risk thing to do. It holds many risks as you have found out. I would read up on Linux a bit

I know age has nothing to do ,it was about I didn't no things like I need to reflash device to restore partition. I have great experience with android and flashing Roms as I have plenty of devices. I change Roms weekly tasting their features. Whatever my dad is working in it but he's on windows.
I have found a possible solution to my prblm after few hrs of googling== I found with disk info that I didn't make any partition, their just unmounted. Nows da big question: is it a way to mount them ( I found out that I could merge partition kernel source- or srh like that -)
My tablet is a copy rebranded after onda 711s==allwiner a31
