[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmanpilkers:
I have a similar problem to this. I own a HTC Desire that is rooted, with Clockworkmod recovery environment, and I got it running Cyanogen mod 7.2.0.1.

So I was reading around this problem, and there are several solutions. It seems the most foolproof way is to format your SD card and partition it so that you have an EXT3 partition, and a FAT32 partition as has already been suggested here.. This way you can use an app to fool your phone into thinking that it has the EXT3 partition of the SD card to use for internal storage as well as the 150MB of internal storage it comes with. I had an 8GB SD card so I did a split of 2GB for the EXT3 partition, and 6GB for storage of music, photos, etc. etc. I followed this handy guide to do it, and it worked a treat: (sorry, have been unable to post an external link as I'm a new user.. maybe I can post this later).

When I rebooted my phone, sure enough, it showed 2GB+ of internal storage, and I can install all the apps I want. However, I'm experiencing apps hanging and crashing all the time, and I know it was caused by this most recent change. Prior to this, Cyanogenmod was running just fine! I've read a bit more into since doing this, and a lot of people reckon you shouldn't use more than a 512MB SD card partition, as anything over this causes performance issues. Others disagree, and think that anything 2GB or below should be fine. Presumably the apps hanging/crashing is because there is fragmentation of data between the SD card EXT3 partition and the actual 150MB internal storage.

It's frustrating, as other than this the phone is still a very decent handset despite it's age... it's really the storage letting it down. Before I try factory resetting (again!) and going back and trying a 512MB partition, (or just going back to having only 2 apps installed!), has any one else had experience of this?

Any help very much appreciated.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siavash2death:
well,I don't use gingerbread anymore.but I can say that you can't experience a good performance to use both internal and external (sd-ext) partitions to use and install your apps. better choice is to use one of them.use default a2sd of rom,or use another script to install apps only in sd-ext partition. I have used and tested a lot of roms (GB-ICS-JB) and I can say in my experiences, that you don't have problem to use an sd-ext partition with about 1.5 - 2 gb size.you can see the recommendation of devs in first post of topics, and they tell us what is the minimum-maximum size for the best performance. sorry,i can't search and give you the links,but I just had a really good smoothness and speed with some scripts that you can try them: like mounts2sd, ad2sdx,... you can find link of them with search. and you can use cm7 int2sd version...but it has a bigger size than normal cm7. here is this topic : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1357257

[MENTION=5284025]kmanpilkers[/MENTION]

Which guide did you use to partition, should be done with gparted or 4ext recovery.

-Ext4 should also be slightly faster than ext3.

-Anything up to 2gb is sufficient. Don't know where you read about limiting it to 512mb. The whole idea is to be able to install more apps on the partition, 512mb will fill up a lot quicker than 2gb...

-you can use space more efficiently by s-off and changing hboot, so you have more than 150 MB of internal. You are currently on stock hboot and have a lot of free wasted space on your /system partition

-depending on your Rom, stick with a single a2sd script, it may be built in or need to be activated, read the Rom thread. Then let it do it's job to move apps to the partition
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eugene9069:
Thank you. I've been searching for some time
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmanpilkers:
Thanks for your response. What I used wasn't necessarily a script, although I have seen guides that mention scripts too. It was an app I installed from the Clockwork recovery, and having partitioned the SD card, I booted back to Cyanogenmod, and found that my internal storage was then showing 1.97GB instead of 150MB. I think I was wrong in assuming that it was using both the internal storage and the SD card partition though. It must just be using the SD card.

---------- Post added at 02:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

I'm not allowed to post the link to the guide I used. I'm an XDA forum noob, and I think I have to have posted at least 10 times or something before posting links. To find the guide I used, Google for "extend htc desire memory" and it's the first result (at Andrea Grandi's blog).

Looking back at the guide, looks like I was wrong about having used EXT3.. it WAS EXT4 I used, as I know followed the guide to the letter, so ignore this part, I just got it wrong!

I partitioned the SD card using Minitool Partition Wizard Home Edition (installed on Windows 7). I found this tool in the comments on the original guide, and it seemed to work fine.

The app I used is Data2SD - having installed it from Clockwork recovery, and rebooted, it automatically began using my new SD card partition as the phone's internal storage.

RE: your comments about s-off and stock hboot, how do you know I'm on stock hboot? I never fully understood these terms so any help/advice or even a link that explains it properly would be v useful. I'm on Cyanogenmod 7.2, and want to stick with this ROM if at all possible.

Thanks for all your help so far. :good:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
the data2sd script is working, however do not use minitool, it creates bad partitions. if you searched the forums here properly there are plenty of threads on this. the bad partitioning is probably the reason you have crashes.

- s-off using revolutionary

- backup all contacts to google, titanium backup all apps etc

- backup entire SD card to PC

- flash cm7r2 hboot, recommend using fastboot commands

- flash 4ext recovery, again this can be done using fastboot commands

- boot into 4ext recovery, completely repartition sd card from scratch, max 2GB ext4 partition.

- full wipe ('wipe all partitions except sd card' option within recovery) and reinstall rom

- you can use data2sd, but personally would recommend installing mount2sd or s2e (search google play store), and configure them leave your app data on internal. just move your apps (and optional dalvik cache as well to sd-ext)

- restore apps, should use the partition automatically. use an app like 'diskusage' to check everything's working.

seems complicated, but this should have been done first time around.

regarding the hboots, you are still on stock hboot because you haven't changed it. you need s-off to flash them. again this has also been answered many times. they are simply internal nand partition layouts, and are used to use your space more efficiently.

on stock hboot you have 250MB system size, but your rom is say only 140MB system size, wasting 110MB. on cm7r2 hboot, you have 145MB, waste ~5MB

by saving this space on system you can use it as extra data (internal memory). as a result, your internal 150MB data partition on stock hboot goes up to 287MB on cm7r2 hboot, which. is good :). this takes much longer to fill up and can be used for app data.

sorry don't have time to find all the guides for you, search "how to..." in front of all of these, you'll find your way. this is very good regarding partitioning.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I don't know if my SD is a fast card or not. Is it good for me to create a sd-ext partition? And is there a way I to find the class of my sd-card?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
Yes create one, just don't make it too big (>1gb). It should say the class on the front of the SD card. It might be really small so look closely.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freebird24h:
To find out how fast your sd is on the phone, plug the phone as USB storage(best use ports on the back of your PC, not front panel, more reliable results). Download crystal disk Mark and let it test your card. This will not take the readahead value set on your phone into account and give you pretty accurate results. Ofc sd partitioned correctly (through gparted or 4 ext recovery) should get better results.

As a comparison take a look at this thread

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=15269669#post15269669

Results in the op will give you pretty good idea on what is fast and what is not. Namely none of your results should go into deep zeroes like lexar or a-data from the OP post do. 4K area should be most important for smooth experience on Android.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmanpilkers:
Thanks very much - I'll look into doing this properly over the weekend possibly.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgmccabe:
I know it's a while since you wrote this so you might have solved the problem but did you move those 3 apps to SD using the normal method?

I'm wondering, and others may be better placed to confirm or deny this, whether the most recent versions of many apps no longer support A2SD due to the large amounts of internal memory more recent phones tend to have. If that is the case then that would be one reason why you can't fit much more. Also, on my current Galaxy S3 the amount of data these apps cache is huge.

has anybody got the settings for this and do you know exactly how it's setup on the device?

I bought Next Launcher 3D from Play Store and for some reason I can't find the .apk file. All my other Play Store downloaded files are in /data/app except for the launcher. Even Next Launcher addon files like wallpapers, notification, and themes are in /data/app. Is it possible that Next developers delete the .apk file after it installs or move it to another directory? I just find it strange. The reason I'm looking for it is because I wanted to place it in the system directory. Anyone else know where it might be? Currently using Galaxy S3 Android version 4.1.2.

good ntaymen

Yea I figured it out. I didn't know there are "protected apps". I was able to find it in the /data/app-asec directory. It's com.gtp.nextlauncher-2.asec. All of my other protected apps have an apk file but Next Launcher. Even though I paid 15 bucks for it now I'm gonna have to find it somewhere in apk form.
[General Questions and Answers] Surpass:
Next Launcher has a Facebook and they upload Beta versions of their launcher, and depending on the version sometimes they're not protected against piracy so maybe you could try those? Also you could just ask them on Facebook, they're really good developers when it comes to replying to the community.

Since the Nexus 5 will be a touch-wiz stripped version of the S4, will the stock rom from the nexus be transferable to the s4 to basically have a Nexus 5? Or has anyone heard anything about restrictions regarding that.

Thanks for the info, looking forward to this new community :)

edit: Seems I was mistaken, I had read online that Google was going to be selling their "Nexus 5" as a pure android Galaxys4 so I figured same hardware should transfer the software, but not if its going to be GSM only. Thanks for the replies.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rarscaryfrosty:
The Nexus 5 isn't the S4 just because google will be selling it with their software/rom on it. Unless someone can modify the rom once it's available, I doubt it will be flashable to the S4 since it only supports GSM networks like AT&T or T-Mobile. In my honest opinion, we might not see a true Nexus 5 this year, as google has been focusing more on functionality and accessibility in their software, more than they have in innovation through hardware. Aside from the screen on the Nexus 4, the phone is really nice already. It may be possible to see a CDMA version come out with a few hardware upgrades though. There have been multiple videos/pictures leaked of a white Nexus 4 in the past few months.

Just wait a couple of weeks and I'm sure we'll be seeing Cyanogenmod nightlies being released for it. CM is bassically vanilla, but with their own "upgrades" ontop of the stock rom.

try to copy it on your device connect to pc and use wmdc or similia to view and browse the folders on your phone (eg in the root) then use xap deployer in device to install (such custom roms have it pre loaded otherwise you will find everything on this forum)

hope this works (sometimes for me it worked)

You don't need to side load, what it means is connect to WiFi or connect to Zune with USB, that will allow you to install with no app size restrictions. If lets say you were to attempt to download an xap through illicit means, you will be unable to install it, not because of file size but because they are encrypted.
