[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagbel:
Dear enthusiastic helpful geeks

I have an interesting challenge for all those who are interested.

I am android fan, amateur and a doctor by profession.

I have 3 years old HTC Desire Bravo GSM

I rooted using Unrevoked 2 years ago and used CyanogenMod.

I have been using S2EXT app all these years to solve the well known internal memory problem.

I found Jelly Bean very interesting and flashed the VJ 4.2.2 CM10.1 V6.3

I just love it.

With terminal emulator, I used the commands as instructed and had this message.

$ su

# a2sd install

Found block device: /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

Removing flag a2sd

Removing flag ad2sd

Removing flag dc2sd

setting flag a2sd

/system/bin/a2sd: line 73: /sd-ext/.a2sd: Read-only file system

chmod: /sd-ext/.a2sd: No such file or directory

Would you also like to move DALVIK-CACHE?

You can later undo this with 'nocachesd' (y|n)

I came to know SD EXT is not mounted

Tried mounting sdext through ROM manager and got the message

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

(File exists)

I flashed back CM 7 reluctantly

SD ext did not mount at first.

I downloaded S2EXT and I had to tick the box which said Mount as ext4 (mount sd-ext as ext4 without journaling)

Now, the disabled options got enabled and I could ask for the movement of applications, dalvik cache and rest of the stuff to sd ext.

I have the log generated by S2EXT app about what happened.

2. Primary ~1GB ext4

I want to use CM10.1 VJ version 6.3 and to be able to mount SD Ext and move apps to it so that my internal memory does not get full.

S2EXT can fix this issue but is not compatible with JellyBean. - How could it do? Can I do it somehow?

Why is that mounting SD Ext and moving apps is not possible on VJ version?

I am not so confident in using adb shell and other advanced stuff as advised in the forum.

Hence, writing all I know to see if someone can spot a solution and help me solve it in a simpler way.

Help me enjoy the Jelly Bean and make my Desire Re-Live !
