A few days ago I successfully installed the newest Cyanogenmod 11 for HTC Chacha.
When I installed it for the first time, I also installed the Link2SD app. After a while, I started getting the "Insufficient storage available" message, so I decided to do a hard reset and reinstall the mod.
Now I have it installed for the second time. At the beginning [this time I skipped Link2SD] everything was alright. Now I keep getting the message again.
Things I have done:
1. After installing Cyanogenmod, I partitioned the SD card and used the CronMod INT2EXT script. Right now my phone says that I have 203 MB of free storage.
2. I have tried the LuckyPatcher fix. It didn't work.
3. I have also tried the adb shell command. I have tried setting it both to 1 and to 2, none of which worked.
4. My app-asec folder is completely empty. The app-lib only contains the folders with the apps I have managed to install. The logs are not the problem either.
5. This happens whenever I try to install ANY app, no matter the size.
6. I have tried clearing the cache of both Play Store and Play Services. It didn't work.
7. What's weird is that at first, simply rebooting my phone worked and I was able to install 2 or 3 apps before getting the message. Right now I can't install anything.
Does anyone have any idea what else I can try?
Note: Somewhere in the process, after rebooting my phone, I found that the Google Services were gone. I had to flash it and reinstall it using CWM. I still don't know why they disappeared, right now they seem to be working fine, except now I can't get anything from the Play Store.
Thanks in advance for any solutions, I really appreciate it!

Grab the newest build of CWM and there's a guide there on how to use CronMod with it. I've modded some Wildfires for customers and definitely find CronMod to be the best all around solution for more space, if the SD card is up to it. Also, make sure you are partitioning the SD card the right way. I found that making the partition in Windows with a tool like MiniTool Partition just doesn't seem to work right. If you can use GParted in Linux (you can even do it from a LiveCD) then that seems to do a better job of it. Also make note of what type it is (ext2 / ext3 / ext4) with the appropriate CronMod script.

How do I check the type (ext2/ext3/ext4)? And will choosing the right setting in Link2SD do the trick?
You know, I've checked the page of CM11 for ChaCha and the dev said that it's a bug that needs to be fixed - the perks of running a new software on an old device, so there's probably not much I can do.
Well, the tool you used to partition the SD card should tell you. Alternatively, your custom recovery should have an option to partition for you (this is better than Windows as well) and then it'll set it up as ext 2 at first and allow you to change it to ext 3 or 4.

Hi,
I'm getting low on space message on my hero running VillainRom 6.1. Tried rebooting, still there. I've only tried to install one or 2 apps with the message there, so not sure if thats actually been affected.
settings-->sdcard & phone storage-->internal storage shows 14.83mb
quick system info shows:
sd card storage free 2.14gb
a2sd storage 249mb free (total 457mb)
system cache 129mb free
memory 37.35mb free
there doesn't seem to be any more processes running than usual - only around 3-4.
I do have quite a lot of apps, over 100, probably closer to 200, I havent counted.
btw thanks to everyone on this site, I'm new to flashing roms but having fun learning, and my phones definitely got a new lease of life.
use the apps2sd checker to make sure its working. If it is id say increase your partition from 512 to more
Just because the app is installed on the sd card (assuming its working properly) doesn't mean the davilk cache for the app has moved. unless you move this as well (which isn't really recommended) each time you install an app system memory will still go down a little.

u need this which is an update. copy this file into the root of the memory card and through the recovery image install it from "zip file from sdcard"
after that restart the phone and check your memory is should be 120mb

thanks for the suggestion
a2sd check script says its working fine, also checked via adb shell.
This is what I then did to the partition size:
I copied SD card contents (both partitions) into ubuntu.
then I put SD back into phone and repartitioned using 1gb for ext2
then I copied back SD card contents from ubuntu.
I assumed this would work, but when I booted I was getting FC all the time. Bart backup sorted it out but I am still left wondering why this method of increasing partition size didnt work??
In any case quick system info shows a2sd has more space, but still got low space message.

would you by any chance out of interest know why copying ext2 contents from sdcard as outlined above didnt work? - may have some future relevance if changing/upgrading roms.

this is because the ramon recovery image had been linked with ext2 with a 512mb partition and u selected 1gb. im not quite sure about that.
chnagin rom is quite simple beucase you have to is
1.backup using nandroid
2.make sure you wipe everything. (also battery and rotating settings)
3. Re partition your sdcard to hold 1 ext2 partition and last partition should be the rest in fat32
4. Flash the rom you want through "zip file from sd card"
5. Reboot.
im a newb so i dont have much knowledge but patching up problems that i had, so that i can help others.
it can be pain especailly rooting!!!
So thats how you would flash a rom, but what if you wanted to keep your a2sd apps? So you dont have to install them all over again in the new rom when you wiped everything.
I think I read somewhere that it should be possible to leave the contents of ext2 as it is, and that should carry forward to the next rom, but I havent been able to test it myself yet.
Ok, I have a very peculiar problem which I cant figure out. Here is what happened:
1. Update to 2.1 with Bin4ry flash tool
2. Root with Z4 root tool.
3. Install Apps2SD using following method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804574
4. Install Black HTC theme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821790
I then noticed that my Market app wouldnt work properly, I could browse and begin downloading apps but it would Force Close evry time just before installing them. Not knowing which step broke it I decide to start over as follows:
1. Restore to 2.1 with SEUS
2. Check Market, all appears fine.
3. Root with Z4 root tool.
4. Check Market, all appears fine.
5. Install Apps2SD as above.
6. Check Market, all appears fine.
7. Install Black HTC theme as above.
8. Check Market, FC issue rears its ugly head again.
I checked through all of the stages in the theme and I cant see one where I could have broken the Market app, very peculiar. I was playing around on my phone and installed a couple of apps from .apk files on my SD card, I then tried to back these up using Appmonster. It told me it couldnt write to the SD card, very odd. I then tried a simple copy and paste with Root Explorer, same problem saying it cant write to SD.
I rebooted and got all sorts of Force Closes so I am pretty sure the SD has got corrupted or mounted Read Only some how, but I cant figure out how.
I dont know if it is related but when I plug my phone in to the computer it cant read it as storage, I have to turn the phone off, remove the card and use a card reader to transfer data. It seems to me something is wrong with how the phone is mounting the card, but i cant see where it was changed. I am pulling what little hair I have left out with frustration at this, any and all help is greatfully welcomed.
Quick update, I put the SD into my Linux computer and tried to change the permissions to 777, no joy. Is this likely to prevent me writing to SD, and hence the problems? I understand that FAT32 filesystem doesnt support permissions, how can I make it work with a FAT32 partition?

Your app2sd partition is ext2 right?
Hi,
I am new here and did my best searching but couldn;t find a conclusive answer so i just need some suggestions about a way forward.
So far using Froyo's move to SD implementation I have managed to gain some space on the phone for more apps but i am still running out. I also have to use the slow Apps 2 SD application.
So my problem is I want more space for apps. Using adb, setting the install location to SD card helps provide some more but i have hit that limit too.
So, from what i've read so far, there is another symbolic link based method, that creates a partition on the SD card and then the phone appears to think its still on the phone.
I have a stock ROM and would prefer not having a custom ROM for now. What would be the suggested way of getting Apps2sdext functionality? I mean like installing a package after rooting.
I have read about rooting, and apps2sdext also seems to need root. But i'd really appreciate if somebody could drop some links as to what I could do. Here are my thoughts of what they might be:
Root phone
Format SD card with partitions
Install a2sd
Another question: is there no way of using Gparted, etc to resize partitions and create the ext4 partition on pc? As in before taking it to the phone? that way no need to reinstall some apps.
Ok so for now I see I can use Z4Root to root my phone. So i've sorted that part out.
I also saw on DarkTremor apps2sd page that stock roms need a custom init.rc. Where are the instructions for that?

I'm not quite sure. I'm not an A2SD user. But, here are my hunches/ideas/opinions:
I suggest you partition with the partitioner in the recovery image. A2SD may have trouble finding the ext partition when the layout is quite different from what it expects, though I'm not quite sure.
As for not having to reinstall apps, this is what I did prior to installing A2SD:
Move all apps to phone memory
Backup
Partition SD
Flash A2SD
Install A2SD (yes, I had to manually launch a2sd scripts --')
Done
Works as intended, but I've found that there wasn't a significant increase in free phone memory storage, but I'm very sure a2sd was applied.
So I went back to native A2SD.
Which leads me to say: I suggest flashing a custom ROM with A2SD integrated
Idk, maybe I just didn't give A2SD some time. Just try it out.
Hmmm interesting! Still digging up more info as i go along...
Ok so far I installed, z4root and it installs fine and does the whole root and restart thing.
Now when i browse from adb shell i still get the $ prompt and not the # prompt. But when i go into z4root it provides options for re-root and un-root...
UPDATE: well i found out that once the shell opens as $, you type su. When you do that look at your phone and accept the superuser request, otherwise permission denied appears on the pc screen. now i have the # prompt!!!
UPDATE: Got Clockworkmod running now! and exploring a2sd... i give up. cannot find a concise thing that says here's the script that you use after doing the clockworkmod. what do i do???
Hi,I came from megatron rom and is using CM7 rom now.Not sure partitioning of sd card work on stock rom but you can try.
Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your phone! Below is what I did.
Instructions: Download DarkTremor Apps2sd.zip file.
Then,Backup all your sd card contents on your PC.You MUST backup as partitioning of sd card will wipe the whole sd card.
Reboot in recovery and select partition sd card > Partition sd card again> Swap Size:Choose 0 (I'm not sure what the other numbers will do.) > Then 512mb for the next option.Then it will start partitioning. > After you're done,upgrade ext.2 to ext.3 > Then upgrade ext.3 to ext.4 > After that,connect usb or take out sd card and put DarkTremor apps2sd.zip file in the root of your sd card and then flash it!
DONE AND PROFIT!
Your internal storage should decrease very slowly because your apps are now 'tricked' into being installed on your sd card Hope this helps!
Sorted my problem out!!
Gonna post details asap! So excited

So you did my method or what?
Nope actually not. Found a simpler method that's easier for noobs.
So here goes in very short since I don't have links
1. Split memory card into two partitions. I used 1GB. I did the partitioning on Ubuntu as it was much easier to just resize the partition using gparted. I am not sure what file systems are supported for the apps but i used ext3 for the 1GB. Backup should not be necessary but you are welcome to be careful
2. Root phone with z4root, very straightforward process
3. Install Link2SD from Android Market.
4. Once its installed, it'll prob ask for root permissions. Grant them.
5. Open Link2SD and in the list, one by one for each app you'd like to move, select and it opens a page with some details. Just click on create link, and in the next page an option for moving cache also shows. Select that too. Then the app gets moved in the background and slowly your space starts increasing.
6. I did not move any preinstalled apps that came with the phone. Just moving the apps I installed gave me plenty of space not to worry with App 2 SD (froyo method) or anything. Also with this method, mounting for USB Mass Storage also gets quicker.
What's there not to line?

I use a stock ROM (2.2.1) and I have rooted and installed "Move2SD Enabler" from the market and moved all the apps to SD (except for widgets) in the plain simple old fashion. I currently have over 150 apps installed with about 90MBytes of internal memory free.
I've been searching and reading various answers on the subject on different phones, but I wanted to know what worked best for Aria owners.
I've done the following:
1. using Cyanogen 7.1.0 factory reset the phone.
2. formatted the SD card to have a fat partition, ext partition and swap partition.
3. installed s2e and moved the checked the apps, private apps and dalvik cache to sd.
4. checked the 'Internal' on the storage location in the application settings.
5. Installed apps everything worked fine for a couple of days.
I've rebooted the phone today and all the apps I've installed on the SD card are gone, they don't appear in the drawer. Also all of their icons are switched to generic android icons.
I've read on different forums it's got to do with the launched running before the SD card is mounted on boot. some recommend moving back the apps to the SD, but I can't do that since I've got no access to S2E, and I have to use the SD card anyway since phone memory is so small. Also many of the threads were old so I've thought something may have been changed on new Android versions.
Is there any way to solve this? I don't have access to the market so I can't install anything from it.
I'd suggest moving only application and dalvik cache (not private apps) to see if it makes a difference.
Is your partition formatted as ext3 or ext4? Are you using the "mount as ext4" option in S2E?
partition formatted as ext3 and I've used mount as ext4.
is it preferable to format it to ext4?
how can private apps can cause a problem here?
I've now wiped the phone, re installed Cyanogen and Google apps.

I don't think it's the cause, but I'm just trying to eliminate anything that is different from the way I've set it up on my phone since I don't have that problem.
Personally I use an ext3 partition without the "mount as ext4" setting enabled. Perhaps that setting is causing your problems.
did you install the rom, apps and the s2e, or you install the rom, s2e and then started installing apps?
are you using the default adwlauncher or did you switched to a different launcher?
When I do a clean install I install apps before and after enabling S2E. It doesn't make a difference.
I've used several different launchers (including ADW EX) but not the built-in one.
do you enable in settings - Cyanogenmod settings - applications the following:
allow application moving - checked
install location - I select internal instead of automatic.
"Allow application moving" unchecked. That setting only makes it possible to move any application to the FAT32 partition, which you shouldn't be using at all.
Are you manually moving applications to SD card in application settings or something?
Maybe that's were the problem is. and you have the setting of install location on "Automatic" or on "Internal" ?
Please read this post where I explain the proper way to set up S2E when using it to move applications: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21667779&postcount=5
When you are selecting "move to SD" from the applications settings, you are moving the application to the FAT32 partition, which is NOT what you want. On its own, this wouldn't cause any applications to stop working though. However, since you enabled the "Allow application moving" setting, that forces the phone to allow you to move any app to the FAT32 partition, even if that app does not support it. When you move apps to the FAT32 partition that don't support it, those apps will stop working.
thx for the explanation.
If I'm setting up the s2e before installing any app, I can skip step no 4 as I understand it.
is there a real difference in performance/compatibility to the file system on the ext partition? I see threads here that mention that ext4 work without any problem.
should I format the card to ext2/ext3 or ext4 ?

ext4 should work fine. I only suggested moving to ext3 because you were having problems, but it sounds like that was unrelated.
Ok. I've formatted the card with gparted, wiped the phone, but no matter what I did S2E didn't show the Ext partition. I've finally used rom manager to partition the card and it worked fine.
I've checked the setting as you've recommended, and so far it seems fine. I'll have to wait and see if it doesn't shows up again after several more reboots.

I am having this issue also - I goofed and checked the 'mount as ext4' for an ext3 partition. Now I can't see any apps, including the S2E app to uncheck it or the Play store app to download another copy so I can fix it.

Boot to recovery with SD card removed, and/or reformat the ext partition of the SD card from a computer.
Fast Boot option may be the culprit
I see folks here are deep into ext3/ext4 partitions and such (or at least you were a few months ago), and I hope it all works out great for you.
Just in case, here is a simple little fix that really helped me, without resorting to all the partitioning and reinstallation going on here.
Also, for what it's worth, I used ROM Manager Pro to auto-format the special "ext" partition on my sdcard when it was pristine, and since then have used Titanium Backup Pro to move apps to SD AFTER installing via Google Play Store or very occasionally side-installing .apk files.
CUT TO THE SOLUTION BELOW -- SEARCH FOR ////
Some (not all) of my apps moved to SD (all by Titanium Backup Pro) have begun to disappear and (sometimes) reappear without warning after I began to add and delete large Virtual Machines created in QEMU from my 16GB SanDisc class 10 microSD card on my HTC Droid Incredible running rooted stock Verizon Android Froyo 2.2.3. I know this thread is far from my phone's "home base", but from what I can tell this problem with disappearing apps located on an sdcard is NOT determined by hardware or even Android version.
I also happen to use LauncherPro by Federico Carnales instead of the built-in HTC Sense launcher. I noted elsewhere on XDA that a user had suggested that because at least some (maybe all) launchers start before the SD Card that this may be a problem, especially if changes are made to the sdcard that the launcher did not perform, or was not active during their performance by other apps such as Titanium Backup. That fits my situation, because I unmounted the SD, physically removed it to a PC, and added/deleted large VM files to save (lots) of time. No problems of this sort before I did this, so there must be some connection.
I noted that other users have tried reformatting SD, substituting different brands of SD, using newer/older SD etc. None of these reliably helped. So I skipped these options.
//// The (simple!) solution I tried that SEEMS to work (only time will tell!) is buried in the main Android Settings (accessed from the Menu button while in Home screen). Under "Applications" there is a setting "Fast Boot" that I checked long ago and forgot about (it seemed like a good thing to do at the time). The text warns "Turn off to use some Market apps" (that shows the age of my 2-yr old used phone and Android OS -- ohmygosh!-- because it refers to Market rather than Google Play Store!) Anyway, I unchecked the option and rebooted the phone.
Yes, it took a bit longer to boot (maybe a whole minute!), but after waiting about another minute ALL my home screen apps had normal icons and loaded properly. Titanium Backup Pro batch scenarios confirmed there were no apps in a forced uninstalled state (i.e. I had not done the deed, the system somehow had done it or at least rendered the apps "invisible" to Titanium, which decided they needed reinstallation).
The only odd behaviour was that auto brightness was turned off after I unchecked Fast Boot and rebooted. Going into Android Settings > Display and rechecking "auto brightness" took care of that. No other oddities or strange behaviours thus far (but it has only been about an hour).
I will report back here on this thread only (Samsung Fascinate > Fascinate Q&A > What just happend? apps on sdcard) if anything else requires reporting. Silence implies success!

I use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.droidsail.dsapp2sd. Looks weird, but it works well. (Lite version cannot move system apps)
Link2SD to the rescue!
you have to create a second partition on your sdcard via recovery, doesnt work with twrp for me, so i temporarelly use phils recovery for creating it.
after doing so you can mount the new partition with link2sd and move apps there.
your phone has to be rooted and sys-protection has to be disabled, either by s-offing your phone or by using a custom rom + kernel with system-write-protection disabled. and you should deactivate fast boot in "power options" for link2sd to work properly.

basically the same as DS SuperApp2SD it seems, but its completely free,

You can use gparted on linux or similar tools from PC when you connect your sdcard to it, that way you also can backup the content of sdcard first. You don't need to do it via recovery. This way, you also can specify the size of this partition.
