[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itachi1706:
Yes. It's A2SD+.

1. By default,only the apps are moved to sd-ext partition. However, you can also make the dalvik-cache move to the sd-ext partition with the a2sd cachesd command or by downloading A2SDGUI from the market and in the dalvik tab, select dalvik to sd-ext and click wipe dalvik and reboot.

2. If you have any apps installed before the script, you will have to move them with the a2sd reinstall command or with A2SDGUI by clicking the Apps are on internal button in the main tab. (It's the first button, I can't use A2SDGUI to double check as I'm not using darktremors script.

3. I'm not exactly sure.

4. You can just nandroid backup the ext partition, copy your sdcard content to the new card and advanced restore nandroid sd-ext.

Did you wipe your dalvik cache and cache before flashing the script?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goister:
Thanks. No I didn't wipe cache/dalvik-cache. I wasn't aware that was necessary. Is it?

I'm now down to only 20MB after installing apps on CM7. I haven't installed A2SD+ yet. Seems like CM7 doesn't automatically move my apps to the sdcard? Do I have to do it manually via Settings->Applications or is there some other procedure to follow?

Also, if I move apps to my sdcard, does the entire app gets moved, or is it like the stock froyo/gingerbread where some parts of the app still gets stuck in the internal memory, and some apps aren't movable?

If all apps are movable via A2SD+ and the entire app is moved, and I also move dalvik-cache to the ext4 partition, what else is in the internal memory? I'm trying to figure out if it's sufficient for me to simply move apps to the sdcard using CM7's built in A2SD, or do I need to use A2SD+ to move dalvik-cache/etc to the sdcard as well.

Lastly, is a class 4 card sufficient for A2SD+ or should I spend more money on faster cards? I don't think my current card is fast, it's just some generic 4GB card.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itachi1706:
It is recommended to always wipe at least dalvik when flashing extras/mods via recovery. Apparently CM7 A2SD, if activated does exactly what stock FroYo/gingerbread A2SD does, except that it moves the files into the sd-ext partition instead of sdcard/.android-secure. However, in FroYo only the apk can be moved, in gingerbread, the apk and the libs are moved so there will still be an improvement using just A2SD.

The difference between A2SD+ and A2SD is only the ability to move the dalvik-cache to the ext partition. The app data will still remain on the internal memory regardless of both methods.

And I feel that Class 4 is more than enough for A2SD+ as I use a class 4 sdcard myself and I do not experience any lags or slowdowns. Only a data2ext Rom will you have to consider upgrading to at least a Class 6.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goister:
Ah, I see.

So in my case, there really is no advantage in moving to A2SD+ if CM7's built in A2SD is already able to move all apps, and entire apps, to the sdcard? I would also imagine there are some performance improvements in using ext4 vs FAT32?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itachi1706:
The main advantage of A2SD+ is the moving of dalvik cache which really frees up a lot of space after moving to sdcard (for me it freed up about 100mb in Cool3D AceS v4). Also, when you connect your phone to a computer and mount the sdcard as disk drive, with Cyanogenmod A2SD, you are unable to use those apps that were moved to the sdcard as long as the sdcard is mounted as disk drive to the computer. Whereas with A2SD+, you can continue to use those apps 'moved' to the sdcard. This is because the computer only mounts the FAT partition and never mounts the EXT partition, hence those apps moved to the sdcard officialy with A2SD will be affected as they are on the FAT partition while those 'moved' with A2SD+ is not affected as they are on the EXT partition. Performance wise, i don't really think there is a difference in performance.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goister:
This is nice. However, if all parts of all apps already reside in the sdcard (whether FAT32 or ext4), then what's the use of freeing up a lot of space by moving the dalvik cache to the sdcard as well? In the absence of apps, what's the use of more internal memory?

So, if I use Cyanogenmod A2SD to move apps to the sdcard, I'm actually moving the apps to the FAT32 partition rather than the ext4? I thought I read somewhere that A2SD actually moves apps to the ext4 partition, but maybe I read wrong?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itachi1706:
By moving the dalvik cache to the sdext, you will get more space to install apps. This is because, while the apps apks are on the sdext partition, its data and cache will still remain on the internal memory. So even if you use A2SD+, the internal storage will still decrease although slowly.

As for if cyanogenmod A2SD indeed moves apps to the EXT partiton I'm not very sure. Maybe I'm wrong and got mixed up with stock A2SD.

Thus, if you feel that you have enough space, you can choose to not install A2SD+ and use CM7 A2SD which I believe should be activated from the start or you can try digging in the cyanogen settings in settings to see if there is an option to enable A2SD.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goister:
OK, thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goister:
I have a question about A2SD.

If I installed apps after flashing CM7, and then run say the DarkTremor's A2SD script, do I have to do anything to move existing apps to the sdcard, or is it automatic?

Edit: I just applied the A2SD script, and then used settings->applications->manage applications to move apps to the sdcard. I realize I can't move system apps such as Maps and ROM Manager to the sdcard, and also that the moved apps seem to be going to the FAT32 partition instead. How do I move existing apps to the ext4 partition?

Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itachi1706:
To use the A2SD+ method, do not use the move to sdcard option. Move it back to the internal memory, it will automatically get moved to the EXT partition. If the apps doesn't seem to get moved, download terminal emulator and type:

su

a2sd reinstall
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goister:
So existing apps are supposed to get automatically moved to sd-ext? I guess something must've gone wrong with my script installation then, though it looked like it installed correctly.

I'm assuming I can do a a2sd reinstall using adb shell as well? Do I need to clear cache and dalvik-cache before doing a reinstall? Are there any other commands to run to move apps to the sd-ext partition?

I read in the DarkTremors xda page the following commands:

I don't think my SD card is a class 4. Will moving dalvik to the cache mean it's still in internal memory, but another partition? Is this a better option?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itachi1706:
Yes, you can do it with adb shell too. You don't have to clear dalvik or cache. Adb reinstall just moves the app to the ext partition and create symlinks of the apps to the data partition and reboots.

You can check your sdcard class by looking at a small circle that has a number on it on the sdcard. Class 4 sdcards has the number 4 in the circle.

I don't recommend moving the dalvik to the cache partition. Yes it is in another partition on the internal memory but when I did it when using CM7 long ago, my phone started bootlooping as the cache partition (40mb) does not have enough space to accomodate my dalvik-cache (around 60mb at that time), forcing me to pull battery and to reflash ROM. Also, even if you manage to somehow squeeze it in, you may have trouble downloading some apps from the market as the apps that are downloading are temporary stored on the cache partition.

Only just got into the "Moddin" stuff for my Desire. I wanted pretty much the same as you.

I tried cool3D Sense and loved it. Then sampled Aurora V3 :eek: WOW! no looking back.

Do it and do it now! aurora V3 although I see V4 has just dropped.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rferrerca:
Insertcoin, also one of the best sense roms.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itachi1706:
I feel that v4 is way smoother than v3. The only problem is that you must use cfs kernels from gingercakes, snq or tristian. Using bfs kernels will screw the entire Rom up.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnDaKinky:
v4 is smoother as itachi1706 sais but MIUI is way to fast from all sense roms....I use to try every sense rom that i found but when i try miui i get stuck in....

[Vibrant General] dary.yang:
not CM7,NOT miui,i just need a great 2.3 kernel! Just use for JVS/JVT and so on!

the Talon kernel is good ,but not great ,its color is not good enough,even use by voodoo control,and the battery life is a lit short.

i dont care about the GPS,i just want a more smooth kernel.

---------------------------------------

I can give you two kernels,you can try them.

Explain：

1.GalaxianEE_JVS.tar is i9000's kernel,but you can try it ,just no sound,the other function is ok（not conside GPS）.

2.lidroid kernel 1.6 is vibrant's kernel,you can try it,it's a good kernel,but just have 329 RAM.

3. you can use oldin to manage these two kernel. they can be used by 2.34 JVQ/JVS/JVT, just try!

I m on Simply Stock XXJVT running on Lidriod 1.7 JVT Kernel. It works great, except GPS.

I do not understand why making a kernel is so difficult. Can some one explain this please?
[Vibrant General] Mr. Apocalypse:
1. Its a kernel from a firmware and base that was not meant for our phones.

2. No kernel is perfect, even if it was made by Samsung themselves.

3. Android kernels are Linux kernels, can only be compiled in Linux and sometimes Mac, never in Windows.

4. Kernel deving can sometimes be hard and frustrating, especially if it was ported from another device. Sometimes the drivers and modules don't work right when they are compiled, causing less than great battery life and some errors. It happens. Its just another side effect when dealing with ports from other phones.

i install titanium backup and freeze some nextel crapware. So Happy :3
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tuckyc:
WOuld you care to point us to a tutorial or something? I have a titanium too and can't root it yet? thanks in advance.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roomitz:
you have to download, unlock root from unlockroot(dot)com, for me at first try fail, but the trick is, first you connect your motorola titanium on usb mode, or other than debbuging mode, when you click root button of the unlockroot, it going to say wating for device, then you change from usb mode or whatever u use, to debbugging mode, and really fast will be rooted.

ok again, because my english suck a little.

1. you download unlockroot

2. connect your device, on modem mode or memory card mode (etc any other no debugging mode)

3. Click root on the program

4. change the connect mode on your device to debuging mode

5. Enjoy!!

YOU NEED TO HAVE MOTOROLA DRIVERS.

There's a company with 26,000 employees that use iDEN and they are going to continue using it...so don't assume just because Sprint shut down their iDEN that all iDEN is dead and gone. Far from it. There's a Motorola XT626 that's pretty nice...I'd use it...4.3" qHD and dual SIM.

If you did, you'd know that the best kernel is the one that works best for *you* and how *you* use your device. So, hit the dev forum, look at the sticky for a list of kernels and give them a go; what one considers "normal" use is what another considers *massive* use so its up to the user to decide.
