Hi all sorry for a long story, but I may explain how I had dealed with darktemor a2sd script. My be some of you will find it helpfull.

After few(about 5) rom reinstalls I finally managed to get a fast application gready?(87 apps installed) Phone. Every lost attempt reached me some new leasson. I just want to share my successful install with you all.

Started with clean install of #177 cm7, buzz kernal 2.6.32, 3.35.20.10 radio( after formatting data,ext, system, and every thing else but not SD primary partition formatting ), SD speed increase script(4068), Jews ram script, a2sd beta3 script. Then booted the device.

Started terminal, typed "a2sd datasd "( experimental feature in a2sd script) - moves data to ext partition of SD. I've got 512mb ext3, 32mb swap. Then rebooted.

Again to terminal, typed "a2sd reswap" -use swap partition from SD. Then typed "a2sd swappy75 "- set swappiness value to 75. Actually I don't know much about it. But done it coz I have a swap partition in my SD.:-) . Rebooted again.

Again to terminal typed "a2sd heapsize48"- make dalvic heap 48 MB. Is it nice to have larger heap?? . Reboot.

Again to terminal typed "a2sd zipalign "- zipalign ext contents every time you boot the device. Rebooted.

Installed titanium backup, restored the backups of app I have.( 87 apks) . Connected to net, updated every thing. Rebooted to recovery.

Wiped cache and dalvic cache. Rebooted. Viola I have never seen my phone as fast as this. With about 87 apks! Still my phone memory is.

Internal- 99mb free

SD ext - 226mb free/ 480mb total

Cache - 38mb free/ 40 MB total.

Ram - 136 MB free( at the time. Some apps are running in background)

Swap - 109 MB free / 114 MB total?? Dnt know why, but I think I have 32 MB swap when I partitioned my SD.

Total free- 233 mb free/434 MB total.

All the above readings are taken from a2sd GUI in my phone.

What I haven't done.

Never moved dalvic cache to SD as it made my phone lot slower when I've experimented with previous installs.

Never used a2sd GUI to do any of the a2sd commands. All done using terminal. As commands like "datasd " are not available in it.

Never moved a single app using internal app moving feature of cm7, nor used app2sd, link2sd or some thing else.

Never changed install location in cm7 app settings tab. Nor ticked allow app moving.

How do I installed backups.

All backups are installed after I prepared the phone and SD. Ie after execution of the above said a2sd commands. None of the commands are executed after installation. As my experimental installations resulted in lost of apps, when I executed a2sd scripts ( not all, but atlest few).

Titanium backup showed a force close error when I tried for batch operation. Although I have latest pro version. So I do manual back up. Some apks with data, some apk only. Later I will check with some other version of titanium backup.

I never use any apk moving program, let all be in the hands of cm7#177 and dta2sd beta3. Thanks to creators .

I have given a fix permission after I installed the backup from cwm recovery. Hoping to avoid force closes.

Every thing went ok for now. I am posting this as soon as I had done the above. I will check with some

more installations and usages in the comming days. And surely will report if I found bugs/ hangs etc.

So I hope u will help me. And also my post may help some of you. Thank u all xda members.
