Hi,
I had got a CWM back up of my stock ROM with some modifications of some system files, Xposed, BBS, Greenify & Amplify installed previously. Now I had flashed a an Miui custom ROM. With this ROM, there is no option to install apps to SD Card(external). I had flashed a zip that converts external SD to internal and vice versa. Now my question is: If I restore 'data' from the previously taken CWM back up, then will I face any problem? As my default internal memory is the external SD, then when apps are restored will it get stuck up midway as the external memory size now is reduced from 26 GB to 4 GB? I had used Link2SD after creating a 2nd partition. Now, how can I get those appa stored in the 2nd partition? One thing I observed is, Xposed V80 is not working with this Miui custom ROM.(getting boot loop)

Hi All,
I recently purchased Lg O1. I have successfully installed Custom Recovery. I am confused about backup types. I have also installed touchscreen kernel. But is their is a axes inversion problem . As we you all know there are 3 types of backup ..
Backup/Restore:
Nand Backup : runs a nandroid backup of data, cache, boot, system
Nand Backup + .android secure : backs up above plus .android_secure on sdcard (froyo native apps on sd)
//Native app which notify "application can be moved into SD card" if you can move some app. It's good to use, if you used it.
Nand + ext backup : data, cache, system, boot, plus apps2sd on ext partition (old style apps2sd)
//old style apps2sd is used on some custom ROM because can move every application into SD card instead of Froyo's apps2sd
Which 1 should i do, mine is the stock firmware 2.2 10b..
Seeking your advice ..
Regards
Creedy
Nand Backup + .android secure.
Hello.
I just got an HTC Hero, and I've faced the problem of lack of space already.
So I read about this app, unaware I would need it (naive of me), while I was downloading the VillainRom v13, to replace the VillainRom v12 I had.
I flashed it succesfully. I installed the apps I had before. But now, unfortunately, I'm running low on internal space.
How can I move application to the SD card? Is there a tutorial that explains me how to do it for my phone and rom?
How can I determine if my SD card is fast enough?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
to move applications just go to settings>applications>manage applications and click on which ever app you want to move to sd card. Once you click on the app it'll go to a page which will allow you to move your app to the sd. Usually class 4+ SDs are fast enough
The question is that I have tried that... But I don't have that option!
I believe it is because I'm on the 2.1 rom, instead of 2.2, and that option was only introduced in 2.2.
welll, im not sure how to do it without wiping and starting all over again but,
if you make a nandroid.. then backup your sd card onto your computer(including the nandroid backup)
you could go into your recovery image and partition your sd card, swap - 32mb, ext2 - 512mb and fat32 the rest (it takes you through those settings step by step)
then wipe factory reset/all data and wipe your dalvik cache
then flash your rom (double check that the rom has a2sd).. and the rom will do the work for you!
i just did this with wildhero... its the only rom im 100% sure will do the a2sd for you

I was struggling with this aswell
The thing is my ClockWork Mod doesn't have that formatting option...
Does VR13 support A2SD natively? I believe so.
I use HTC HD2, Android on SD card, don't know how to use A2SD ?
Now i use Swapper2 to set Swap file.
I've rooted plenty of devices, flashed countless ROMS all the way back to Windows Mobile but this dern Aria is killing me.
This is a coworker's phone that I rooted and flashed CyanogenMod 7.
it's out of memory, of course, ClockworkMod version is 2.5.0.7. Rom Manager is the latest in the market.
First I tried to partition the card through Rom Manager which didn't work. It did format the card though.
Went into ClockworkMod and there no menu for partitioning. So... I put the SDCard in my Epic4G and partitioned it there.
The partition shows in Titanium Backup but no apps go there.
He's previously moved all apps to the SDCard, no partition, if that matters.
I've tried DarkTremor, didn't boot and had to restore, Tried S2E, caused EVERYTHING to FC. Tried installing new apps to test they still go to internal. Tried mounting the SDEXT in ClockworkMod, Same.
I'm out of ideas, Help!
Is the partition formatted as EXT3? AFAIK, S2E is not compatible with EXT4. Also, try to reformat with the linux tool gparted.

u can try a program called link2sd its free in the market.
Thanks, I'll bring my linux notebook and try to muddle through it.
I'm not sure what my Epic, IIRC it does have an official clockwork recovery, formatted the card to.
Do a clean install on his phone. Backup all his apps with titanium. Boot into CWM, format /system, wipe data and factory reset, clear cache, clear dalvik, install Rom, install kernel (optional), flash DT script, reboot (it will bootloop twice, this is normal behavior and then it will boot into android). Restore with titanium and all the apps will be installed to the EXT partition.
This phone is hateful!
Wiped everything, installed the latest nightly, flash DT Beta 04.
Rebooted started installing apps and they all went to the EXT partition. Yay!
Titanium FC'd in one app so I installed GAPPS and BOOM! The internal is filled again!
WTF?!
Open up terminal and type
Su
a2sd reinstall
Reboot (don't know if this is necessary)

I have s2e install on my aria and it runs flawlessly. I have all about 200 apps and my dalvik on my sd and still have 140mb available of internal space.
This maybe a long shot, but in cm settings, make sure "allow application moving" is un-checked and install location is set at automatic. s2e tricks the phone in thinking the ext is the internal space. I hope this is helpful. good luck.
Hi guys, this may be a stupid question.
I have all these useless files on my internal storage that have been collected through my time with my Galaxy S2.
I recently flashed cm10 to my phone, and after i wiped it with CWM, i still have GBs of stuff from old times.
I also noticed that there's a CWM folder in the internal storage.
So this is what i want to do:
1. Format internal storage clean, and still have CWM.
2. Flash the SuperNexus ROM + GAPPS from external SD through CWM.
3. Start clean
Can i do that? And if so, how?
Backup the essential files, such as music, pics, important documents or attachments, any nandroid backups and TiBu backups, then go to settings, storage and format the SD card. CWM should not be deleted since that is in the /system partition. I did it the hard way, flashing a stock unrooted ROM, deleted every single thing, then rooted and flashed a custom ROM.

u can format your internal and external without worrying of loosing root ( I do that at least 3 or 4 times a day ) because essential and important apps(superSU or CWM) like that are in /system/app while the paths u will erase are /sdcard and /sdcard/external_sd
so just go for it and clean ur internal sd up.
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..
