adb shell parted show 8031MB for my 8GB sd card :D

if it is show 7.5GB or less, so it still have ext partition which can not be read except with partition tools. Please refer to my above post :p

---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ----------

this is a2sd with ext partition. do you currently have ext partition on your sd card?

the app will be installed in sd-ext instead of sdcard.

what sd card class do you use now? recommend to have class 10 sd card. because with ext partition, the sd card will be the internal memory extention. so it must have high speed read-write.

I have the mounting problem also with link2sd, using CM7.2 by vo. I confuse with linked-linked :D

now I am using S2E. It work by it self, no need my influence. And I satisfy using it.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] kindroid:
thanks, thats what i looking for :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] athe_s:
Use dta2sd in razrui. It works for me...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mohitchechani:
thank you for such a wonderful tip for moving apps on sd card

it certainly increased my internal memory
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] kindroid:
a little confuse about it, I've done the steps above carefully. partitioned 512MB, install S2E, then reboot my phone.

Then, I try to install sort of big size application on my phone, but my internal memory still reduced, and on sd-ext reduced too...

can you explain by detail how this application works? because i really like this trick to expand my low internal memory phone, thanks :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Then use INT2EXT+. It works flawlessly.

@SuperAce609 i want to say thanks for your guide. now i can install apps that i want. i use S2E on my democracy room. but i just want to know

1) how i want to remove apps to my phone memory like widget and others. i try to google it before i ask it here.

2) then can u tell me if i want to flash a new room, do i have to delete the partition, and have to format the whole SD card again?

sorry for my poor english
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
The partition is already made on your SD. You don't need to re-do it. Just re-install the A2SD script every time you flash a new rom.

As for moving the apps, use Titanium Backup. Batch>Move apps to internal. Select which ones, and wait. It might take a long time since everything is in the SD and its increasing the read/write speed.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] golfgtiedition30:
Thanks for this guide. I have been using s2e for a while,but decided to give the amurulz script a try. It works perfectly and my phone seems smoother and faster too. Awesome!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] soya88:
thanks. so i just have to re-install the A2SD script every time i flash a new room. but when i look at the link that you give. there are many scripts like A2SD, A2SD+, A2SD++.. so which one of the script i have to flash? right now i just use S2E.

sorry, but i just want to make it clear for me. :confused:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
What are you talking about? Don't touch system apps. As for that message, I've never gotten it before so you're probbly doing something wrong. Even if the rom has no A2SD installed, it uses the native android method.

AW: [Guide] REAL guide for FULL Apps2SD using Clockwork. [UPDT 9.28.2012]

Why do you dont recommend Link2Sd? Oo

It makes exactly the same thing as s2e but its UNIVERSAL.

You can auto-move all apps to your sd-ext (ext 2,3,4) partition.I have already 50+ apps and still 100mb+ free internal storage
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
I don't need a description of Link2SD. It was the first A2SD method I've used and the worst one. It didn't free any space and almost everything was still left on the internal memory.

Why would I recommend something that didn't work for me? If it works for you, then that's great. But I won't recommend it since there are other alternatives.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] humpty82:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] limejustin:

sd card

hy

i am new in all this rooting etc. thing.. i rooted my SGA and put on a custom rom. i also have CWM instaled. i followed this guide in first post, trying to make default installation place to sd card. i made the partition as described. it is seen in properties of sd card, that space for partition was taken but when i install an app, it doesnt go to sd card? what am i doing wrong??

i followed this (part of the) guide:

Step by Step Guide

This part of the guide can be used simply to just make a partition on your SD. You don't have to use S2E which is completely optional. You can use any other app that fits your needs.

Backup your SD card data to PC before start partitioning.

Power on your phone

Hold the Home and Power button

Use volume down button to go down to ‘advanced’.

Then press home button

Select ‘Partition SD Card’.

Select the ext size that you want (128M, 256M, 512M, 1024M, 2048M or 4096M). (I use 256MB)

Select 0M as the Swap Size.

Copy back your data to SD card.

That’s all
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] golfgtiedition30:
You don't say what rom you have installed but ill presume its a cm7 based rom. Now you have created your sd-ext partion go into cyanogenmod settings and tick application moving and allow apps to be installed in external storage. Then install for example s2e, select the options you want to install to the sd-ext and reboot. Then go and check how much internal storage you now have :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] galaxiejs:
sorry, i put this one up (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1453165) for a start.. i checked all the settings in phone menu and can't find anything about this thing.. help :cyclops:

Edit: ok, so i did a little of reading.. if i understand right: i made a partition, that phone has to recognize it as an internal memory, so that apps can go there? how do i do that on this rom? thanks
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
If you're using a stock based rom, go for INT2EXT+. When doing so, some apps will install at random locations. Either internal or SD card. You can manually move it to the "Internal" to save "space". I really don't understand how it works. I'm guessing part of the app gets installed on the SD-EXT and part with the native A2SD when "moving to SD card".

Just move them manually to internal to speed up the booting process. Do it using Titanium Backup and selecting batch actions. I'm honestly not sure why that happens but it just does. Moving it manually to internal isn't really a problem.

I'm not sure how to set default installs to internal to avoid this problem. I'm facing it myself but it really isn't that much of an issue for me.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] galaxiejs:
Thanks for all the help..

I did all of this.. installed this INT2EXT+ (before that enabled init.d). How do i move the apps now? through some program like titanium backup or smth??

So there is now uniform way to make that every app goes to sd-ext by default??
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
I already mentioned Titanium Backup. And no, there isn't.

at least in CM you can set the internal memory as default installation place, so all goes to the sd-ext if you have int2ext. (in CyanogenMod settings).

Increasing memory size 256-->512Mb afterwards?

Hi!

Thanks for great instructions! I have now installed succesfully for my GT-S5830 the following:

1) CWM 6.0.5.3

2) CM11 RC14 (Android 4.4.4)

3) miniGapps

4) INT2EXT+ with 256Mb on a 2 Gb SD card

5) Installed Whatsapp and Youtube apps

After this I have only 69 Mb of free internal space left. And I cant move any apps to SD as the move button is grey (as I have understood the current internal is really a mounted external memory right?).

Q: How can I increase the memory from 256 to 512 Mb? Then I could install the new Just Dance app (>80Mb) for kids :)

Thanks for your tips!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] shoaib30:
to increase the ext partition size. u will have to format the SD card and re-partition the card with 512MB on the EXT partition. so before doing it backup the entire SD card and format it and repartition! REMEMBER when u do this you are losing all the current data on the EXT partition so all your apps will be lost so preferably do a clean install of CM and partition the SD card and flash INT2EXT+

it is also advised not to use a very large ext partition since the actual internal memory of the phone i think is 170MB (correct me if im wrong) so 256MB is a preferably size of the EXT partition.

hope i could help you. please be sure before doing anything i had lost all my data everytime i messed around with the partition.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
To increase the memory, you'd have to format the whole SD and make the partition bigger like Shoaib said before me.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] bhardwajme:
I have two questions.

I am using DroidSail Super App for getting apps installed on my SD card.

If I use your method would I have to uninstall that app first ?

Also here In CWM we need not to flash anything just have to change some parameters and then have to install S2E on to my phone ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] julieace:
I have a query.

I am using CM 7.2 (unofficial) version.

1)there are many apps which allows apps to be moved to SD card, is doing partitioning a better option than that?

2)Is it true that moving Dalvik cache to SD card slows phone a bit.

TIA.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Yeah. Not all apps are installed automatically to the SD. Check them out in settings>applications>manage applications>on the SD. You'll see some are checked and some are not.

Research before saying something doesn't work. If EVERYTHING was on the SD, your theme, launcher and even the phone.apk wouldn't launch at boot.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
If you're gonna be switching apps then yeah. You'll have to delete the one you're using. If its not a lot of apps, you can just simply move them to the internal space while you do all this. If they're a lot, just back them up with TitaniumBackup, delete them and restore them when you're done.

And yeah, you don't have to flash anything. Just follow everything step by step so you won't make any errors.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Moving the dalvik. I haven't seen any performance issues so I don't think so. And yeah. Partitioning is better because some apps don't move all the data to the SD. Just some things. If you use this method, the complete application data gets moved to the SD, resulting in a complete increase in internal storage.

What will happen though, is if you install a lot of apps your phone will take longer to boot since it will take longer scanning the SD to make sure whats installed or not.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] kindroid:
hey thanks :D so we can see which one apps are installed on sd-ext through this settings>applications>manage applications>on the SD right?

After doing everything.

When I went to Settings>Applications>ManageApplications.

I can see some applications in internal memory which can be moved to SD card.

should I move them manually ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
You can if you want to. Just make sure they aren't things you think should be on the internal memory. Like a task manager or gallery app. You have to be very careful on what you move to the SD. If they're just games and random apps then sure.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ino-xda:
I've had this once. I took out the sdcard and looked at it on my Linux PC. It turned out the CWM had claimed to have formatted to ext4 or ext2 (I don't remember which) while it actually was an ext3 or something different.

Your best bet is to do the formatting right on the PC. Link2sd is sensitive to what you tell it the format is (as it propably should be). You can try to tell ext2 when CWM said ext4. The error happens when Link2sd tries to mount the partition with the type you thought it should have when it was something else.
