Obviously. If the SD is 2gb and the partition is 1GB, how many do you have left? -____-

As for the format, it doesn't matter. Clockwork applies it and its gonna work no matter what. Unless you want to do some other random stuff with it then I don't know.

Bro can i use it with stock DDKQ8 2.3.6???
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Did you read the first post?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] cool400:
Hi,

could anyone provide a download-link to s2e 1.2.1?

As I'm running CM9 on my Ace I'm not able to download it from the market, it won't show up there :(

Best regards and thanks a lot

cool400 :cool:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
I don't recommend to update S2E. Its a complete mess. Since it handles your dalvik and everything else and since its constantly in use, I recommend you upgrade it while unstalling a new rom or such. I tried updating it while using it and my phone rebooted and started giving me issues.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] trushers:
if we upgrade to another rom we need to uninstall s2e first? how can we uninstall sir? :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] abhibnl:
yeah i read that but it isn't mentioned anywhere that it can be used on stock rom. that's why i'm asking
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Since S2E is an app, its not installed when you flash a new rom. You just need to install it, check the items you want moved to the SD and reboot. Since the partition is already made, you don't need to do the whole procedure.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Dude. If it says CM ONLY, what does that make you think? -_________-
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] abhibnl:
:-P:-P:-P well no luck then :-P:-P
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jumbobombo:
Ummmm Great guide :)

as simple as 1 2 3...

what i wanted to know was backing up the sd card via copy paste...will that also backup the apps on the sd card and when i restore the sd card will i see them on my phone or will i have to install them again?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Yep yep, all good. Copy everything in the SD to somewhere else then paste them back and everything will still be there.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jumbobombo:
I just finished with the procedure

My god more than 140mb free all my apps are working smoothly

One Million thanx superace609 :D :D

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Haha gotta love that magical S2E :). Now you'll understand why I shared it. All of those "A2SD" apps don't really work like S2E does. I had to spread the word xD

Please do the same!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] maksharma231:
i got a 1gb partition on my 32 gb card. and have loads of memory free even after installing around 150 apps..lol...this is awesome ...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] cooperHawk!:
This would even work for CM9? .. Maclaw's build? .. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Don't know. Haven't tried it. Give it a shot and tell me how it goes.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Rushyang:
S2E works on CM7 ONLY. Not on stock, nor on ANY cm versions

hi i actually followed the instructions and im using TC MIUI GB RC2, after trasferring the apps and dalvic cache everytime I download somethng from the market it does not install and the phone reboots can you help me out if possible? thanks,
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
I'm not gonna say anything. If you would've COMPLETELY READ THE FIRST POST, you wouldn't be having that problem.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Rushyang:
It isn't his fault. I too have faced that problem so many times. I believe its the problem with S2E totally. The only solution I have found so far is, whenever this happens with me, I switch to another CM7 based ROM.:D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] diditdr:
Ohhh using cwm recovery for sdcard partition. Using this way long time ago hhhh. :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
I'm guessing you didn't see what he posted. TC MUIU GB RC2. Why would he even try installing S2E on that rom if he would've read the first post?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Rushyang:
I read his post too and yours too. I see he's trying to use S2E on Team Cooper's MIUI GB RC2, and I installed that ROM also applied S2E successfully. So S2E works fine with it I know. What problem he's facing, I have faced many times with S2E. I know you have nothing to do with that problem. Its either S2E or ROM bug. Chill. ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Yamizzolo:
guys my phone had problems, i forgot of app2sd and wiped dalvik cache. Now i found phone without launchers..what can i do?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Reflash the whole rom. Why would you even wipe dalvik unless you're installing a new rom?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Yamizzolo:
i was reflashing the rom, and usually i wipe dalvik cache before flashing so i did..however i've reflashed but now s2e doesn't recognize the partition!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Did you restore S2E or did you freshly install it?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mor_1228:
Next;

Install S2E

Check the'Applications' box

Check the 'Dalvic Cache' box

Reboot your phone

my application box is locked. how to enable it ? please show ur screenshot.

u moved private apps also ?

u moved application data also ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Weird. Check the Dalvic Cache for now. Then after some phone usage, check back and see if the applications box is there. Did you just install the rom? There's a chance there are no user apps installed which means S2E can't move any apps to the SD.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mor_1228:
rebooting device enabled that option. pheeww m saved now. bro can u show ur s2e screenshot please. i need to see ticked options.

this is mine
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mor_1228:
thnkx. i have space left i havent installed anything but titanium back is saying cant install free some space.

bro can u please tell if u have time that why s2e is better than a2sd ?

after installing s2e and moving apps to sd. if i reboot my device then it goes till A N D R O I D screen 2 times and in 3rd time it goes to home screen

it happenes on every reboot.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Yeah, its a little problem with titanium. I've had that before. Rebooting will solve it.

Anyway, S2E can move EVERYTHING to the SD. Whereas Link2SD says it does the same but takes up all your internal storage too. How? I don't know. Every time I used Link2SD, I can only install about 5-7 more apps. With S2E, my SD card is my limit xD
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mor_1228:
i tried alot but titanium is giving me problem. i am sad i had refalsh whole rom again this i will try a2sd and if that also gave me problem then i will move back to link2sd only :(
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Woah buddy. You don't need to reflash a whole rom just because Titanium said you don't "have enough space". If you checked the boxes on S2E then you KNOW you have space. What rom are you using? That happened to me and I just rebooted every time I had that message and continued installing.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mor_1228:
i just flashed whole rom again i am on miracle v4. installed asd scripts and a2sd and now there is no problem at all not even with titanium backup. i guess a2sd is better than s2e.

note: i installed titanium backup first before using a2sd app not script.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Uh, no. Lmfao you definitely did something wrong. I'm on miracle V4 and running S2E perfectly. You think A2SD is better than S2E? Check your internal storage.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] phreeoni:
Doubt

sir, i m new to android, but i love it, bought galaxy ace.

the memory in Galaxy ACE is less than 200 mb i guess.. and we are able to install a particular number of apps only.

does this post of urs guides the method to install the all apps on the SD card only

even those which are internal memory installable?

sorry for too many Questions. but it will be a gr8 help for me if so.

i also want to shift from Custom ROM to customized ROM..

i hope you can clear my doubt

thanks
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Listen here billy.

S2E works on CM7 ONLY. So unless you have CM7 installed or a CM7 based rom, this will not work for you. Like I said on the first post, this guide is bullet proof. It'll move EVERYTHING from the internal memory to the SD. Including those that say "internal memory only".
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] phreeoni:
so it means its sortta expanding your internal memory.. and the partitioned memory of SD works as internal memory.. right.. if so.. i will surely give it a try.. as soon as i install CM7

and thanks a lot...

but the problem is i m using Stock rom..

havnt rooted the phone yet..(dont know how to root)

havnt installed any customized rom "cm7" (dont know how to)

can u please let me know the ROM u are using. and method u used.. please..:confused:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
I'll give you what you have to look up so you can learn by yourself.

First root.

Install Clockwork 5.0

Then look for a CM7 rom you'd like to install and follow the instructions on how to install it.

You can find all this by Google. Go for it and PM me any questions you have.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] phreeoni:
thank you sir

sir, i will do step by step as u said.. root and clockwork installation etc

but can u suggest any good CM7 rom.. by your choice.. the ROM u think is the best.. as per speed and battery life..

i dont know much but i have heard abt CM7 miracle v4.. though i dont know what it exactly is.. i have been searching for it since many days for ACE but failed.. if u can suggest

and secondly.. i have tried.. bt i m unable to PM anyone.. due to XDA rules and all.. u know
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Oh alright, then just keep on posting here. Anyway no. I don't recommend Miracle to you since you're new to Android and such. I'd recommend a rom thats not bareboned. Bareboned means most system apps are removed to free up space. Go for Unofficial CM7.2.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Pseudonym:
Can I ask why didn't you include Application Data? I included it when I used S2E and my used internal memory is only 4MB. No problems on any app and no force closes.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mor_1228:
because then the performance will be low. this is said by s2e developer also.

Hm. I never knew that. Moving apps to internal it is then.

I'm not getting any lags, I just want to ease the read and writes on my SD.

Link2SD - E2SD

I would like to switch Link2SD for S2E. Is it possible to do it without reinstalling all apps? I've just flashed CM 7.2 Miracle V4 and tuned it and so... I'm aware that I should formate my SD and do a new partition. But shall I reinstall all my apps or is it an easier way? Thank you...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Ew. Why would you switch? You do know that you'll be able to install way less apps than with S2E, right? And why would you do a new partition? That's completely absurd. If you already have a partition, why make another one?

Anyway, if your Application data and dalvik cache together are less than your max internal storage, then you can move it back in. If they're both too big, then you're gonna have to delete some apps to make it all fit in the internal.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] noobdroid_90:
i have a small problem

if i use the usb storage, the sd-ext also gets mounted (i use ubuntu) and all the apps disappear from the drawer after turning off the usb storage, they're still in the sd-ext but s2e isnt able to detect it

i have to manually move all the apk files back to the internal memory to get the apps to work again

note, this doesnt always happen, it happens only occasionally, any idea why?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] :
What about using Titanium Backup and restore app per app after switching to S2E? I think ill do it this way because aT the moment i dont even use on of those Apps and want to give it a try.

Sent with Galaxy ACE
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Yeah, what Abe said. You don't have to manually move em all. Titanium can do that. I'm not really sure about this problem though since I use windows 7.

Sounds like a drag though. Isn't there somewhere in the settings where you can turn that off? Since you can do almost anything in Linux, I bet that shouldn't be a problem... I think?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] noobdroid_90:
okay i figured it out, the problem was due to a zipalign script in the rom

dont know why that would affect s2e but still, everything runs smooth now after removing the zipalign script
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] dredremon:
I did this before my SD card was formatted someone help.to use.this without erasing mg SD card??
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Pseudonym:
Do you have a partition? If not then it will not work. There is no way of creating a partition without formatting SD card. You can backup first your SD card on your PC then format it :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] noobdroid_90:
you can try shrinking the partition size and then create a new partition

but as far as i know this works only for hard disks, not sure if it works on sdcards
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] gatoo922:
I've tried on my Ace with ICSunday Final by jusada.

After install and reboot, all the apps dissapear, including Google Play...

Now I tried to re-install Google Play, using Fireplace but it make error everytime...

(And, I've make a backup... and later format de SDcard u.u)

I'll flash again the room and try another time
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
You definitely did something wrong and didn't read the complete first post. I made this guide noob proof. Go back and read.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] gatoo922:
I reinstalled all, and I did all again.

Now everytime I try to install any app, the phone reboot into the bootanimation u.u

Anyone know why?

Thanks and sorry about my english!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Did you move any important system apps to the SD? Like launcher or camera and such? Did you check in the CM settings to allow app moving? Is your partition made correctly?

There's definitely something missing here.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] gatoo922:
The CM settings "app moving" was the problem, i don't check it!

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Aleksz10:
Hello

I was using this method for a day, and then I restart my phone and everything gone. Every single app that was on the ext. Then I formated everything, put on the rom again (miracle v4) and started over. I restarted it some time and everything was ok. Then I restarted and again, everything gone. What can be the problem and how can I fix it without starting over again? Thanks
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Yeah, I've gotten that problem a lot. What I did to fix it was a complete factory reset with everything deleted, formatted SD and made the partition again.

Format your SD from the android settings while the phone is on so it can delete the partition. Then wipe everything and make the partition again.

What happened is that your SD is corrupted. Make sure you do a SD backup before doing all this.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Aleksz10:
So there is no other way to fix this? :( And what can be the problem?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
I just told you what the problem was and how to fix it -___________-

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] iggytod:
Yes, i do everything correctly, and it works fine, but now i have that blue box beside applications and dalvik and i cant do nothing whit it.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
If you followed everything correctly and its working fine, then that means your dalvik cache and app data can't be moved back to internal because their file size is too big. If you want to move them back, delete some apps and the blue boxes will be gone, giving you the option once more of what to do with it.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] hadis11:
?

Will it work on the CM9
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
If S2E or DT's A2SD works on CM9, then yes, it will.

Notice I said IF.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] hadis11:
:)

that does not work for me ,I have Maclw cm9 and not working s2d ? I'm sorry for my bad english :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
S2E doesn't support CM9.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] chrcol:
I would also select in the CM options internal only on the where to install apps option. As external would install to the sd card fat partition.

Personally I have never seen issues with widgets on apps on the sd-ext partition, the OS treats it as internal anyway.

On sd-ext I have accuweather widget. Tasker widgets.

I assume to force apps to internal would be to convert them to system apps? A guide might be good on that to complete this guide. Titanium backup seems to thave the convert feature but for me its unreliable, and some apps I have tried to put as system then crash when trying to launch them. Also when updating system apps do the updates goto sd-ext or system.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Why would you set internal? The whole point of this is to free memory. If you set default app installation to internal then that would take up more space. This guide is already completed. The whole purpose is to learn how to make a partition and completely move apps2sd.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] chrcol:
I explained in my post I will do so again.

The rom has a native apps2sd function.

To the rom external is the fat sdcard partition.

s2e emulates internal space by symlinking sd-ext to the internal paths.

So when s2e (or dt-apps2sd) are installed as far as the rom is concerned its internal space.

So when someone installs dt-apps2sd or s2e and moves their apps, when new apps get installed some will use native apps2sd and end up on the sdcard fat partition. Unless of course they change a setting to tell the rom to put all on internal and then they will all end up on the sd-ext partition which s2e uses.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
See now, the "external" installation that the rom does by itself without S2E or DT's script, doesn't free any memory at all. Hence why these two apps exist. S2E and DT use the partition and take it as internal memory.

I think that if you select "Internal" only a certain part of the .apk will be installed internally. If you're using S2E and you selected to move Dalvik cache, it will be moved no matter your phone settings. That's what I believe.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Pseudonym:
It supports it now. S2E works only with CyanogenMod7 and CyanogenMod9! -from developer.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] chrcol:
It does free memory but not on every app and not the dalvik cache. Which is s2e is much better.

s2e and dt are both very simple all they do is create symlinks over the internal paths and thats it. Meaning the rom thinks its installing apps internally but the symlinks divert the files to the sd-ext partition on the sd card.

When I was on stock rom using dt I had the problem that I had to manually move installed apps to internal to get hem on the sd-ext as they were installing to the external sd fat partition. But CM has a setting in its gui to control that and force them all to the right path. Thats all I was pointing out.

Personally I think s2e is better than dt, as dt is a harder install procedure and has a not so user freindly gui app but they both work in the same way just emulating internal memory on the sdcard. That is how 100% app compatability is achieved.

This thread is useful to have here and is good you posted it and I wont say anything more, I was just trying to help.

thanks.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Haha. Be free to share whatever you want dude. That's why we're here.

And yeah. You're right. S2E does the complete job. S2E wins hands down :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Ated:
i'm currently using s2e, then i install adrenaline engine, all my app user is gone, whats happen?

how to fix this?

if i partition my sd card using cwm5, what will be created, ext2, ext3 or ext4?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Sounds like your SD is corrupted. Format it using the Android phone settings and re-do the whole process. If it happens again, the engine is your problem.

About ext, I'm not sure. I don't pay attention to that. As long as I get my apps on the SD, I don't really mind or care xD
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] chrcol:
is it possible s2e relies on init.d to mount sd-ext and adrenaline wipes all files in that path thinking its only wiping old tweaks?

its one reason I havent touched stuff like adrenaline because when they say wipe everything in init.d that sounds dangerous.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Nah, you just gotta know what you're doing. If you aren't using any other scripts besides that engine then you should be fine. If you are using other ones, delete them before installing that engine. S2E doesn't have anything to do with scripts.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Ated:
Hmm, i've done some experiments, if i install s2e first, then install adrenaline engine, s2e works fine..

But Application Data check box can't be checked..

I am thinking that my partition is ext3 then, the engine has some script that handle ext4, have u guys using adrenaline engine?

In s2e setting, what box should i check?

Sorry for my bad english..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] chrcol:
yeah but the engine itself wipes scripts on installation as well, in that case its out of the user's hands.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Dalvik cache. If the script is preventing you from checking app data then that means less space for you. Why use scripts anyway? Are you guys addicted to the placebo effect?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] chrcol:
yeah ditch adrenaline, CM is fast out of the box, lightning fast.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Ated:
ok thank you for explaining, then script doesnt mean so much?

if its true i'll try to not using script..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Scripts that "make your battery life better or your phone faster" never work. If you really want to control your ram, download Ram Manager and choose an option you want. The ONLY way you can optimize the Ace's battery is by underclocking or just simply barely using the phone at all.
