nah, flashing updates will replace files in elsewhere with new ones but not /data partition nor /sd-ext partition therefore flashing updates will not clear your internal memory. if people did not use any a2sd scripts then their apps and data will not be changed after flashing an update.

however as we use darktremor a2sd script, files in the /system partition and other places which are directing apps and dalvik to our sd-ext, are removed when we flash the update. so thats why we will have to flash darktremor zip again everytime we update our ROM. note that we dont have to do this when we update our kernels only.

no, you dont need to do anything related to the activation of darktremor after updating the ROM and flashing the script together. not in A2SDGUI nor terminal emulator. your apps and data will just be there and because you NEED to wipe dalvik before ROM flash, the dalvik cache will start to build up in /sd-ext by itself on first boot. thats why the first boot will be long.

For your reference so you dont have to try it yourself - if you dont flash darktremor together with the ROM, you will just get all android package icons after you boot the phone and none of your app with activate until you wipe cache and dalvik again in recovery and flash the darktremor zip, everything will show up correctly.

in case if you face force closes at anytime after you did things related to darktremor, run a fix_permission and reboot then everything will be fine!

do a quick search "how to install darktremor" or search this thread, got not much time enough to teach you from installing recovery to finish a2sd... :o

this thread is old and now beyond ext3 you can also use ext4 ;)

what is ext? this one

http://www.google.com.hk/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=sd+card+ext+partitions

after installation you can either install A2SDGUI or simply use terminal emulator or adb shell to execute the following commands

if you really think darktremor is too complicated, try using Simple2Ext if you are using a cyanogenmod ROM.

You can also choose Link2SD if you are not using cm7 (as i can see ur on stock)

darktremor a2sd is not simple, even android isnt. ive used ****loads of time to read and test by myself when i was a noob, too :) good luck mate!

Hi,

I did as you told, however I'm going into a boot loop with the following messages in logcat:

E/dalvikvm( 792): opt header write failed: No space left on device

I then did a df in adb shell and it showed that my /data partition is 100% full. This forced me to reboot to recovery and restore to my old CM 7.0.3 backup, which was successful. When I do a df then, it shows only 89% used. Under Android storage settings, I also see that there's 16+MB internal memory left. Why am I left with 0 space in /data after applying the CM7.1 update and the A2SD zip file?

Thanks.

Try amarulz as2dx

that worked for me on both stock 2.3.6 and also on cm7.2

So Darktremor doesn't work on CM7.1?

Anyway, I tried to clear up some space by uninstalling apps and getting space up to over 50MB, but after I applied the update and rebooted, the usage went up to 100% again.
[Nexus One Android Development] Hanny:
darktremor is famous in its inaccuracy in calculating free internal storages, maybe that is the cause showing 0% /data is left

but first of all, i am curious that why did you got only 16mb internal srorage left in application manager even you have ran darktremor before you updated? have you run a2sd app2sd and a2sd dalvik2sd and similar commands or installed A2SDGUI app to run the commands? if you have moved things to the ext partition, you shouldnt have 16mb internal storage left unless you have 350-400 apps installed.

you may use terminal emulator to run "a2sd check" or directly use root explorer to go to /sd-ext/apps and see whether there is anything!
[Nexus One Android Development] goister:
I've run a2sd as well as a2sd cachesd, and check shows that my apps are all in sd-ext, as well as dalvik-cache. An ls in /data also shows that the dalvik-cache/ directory is a link to /sd-ext. I'm puzzled as well why I'm showing only 16MB, and that uninstalling apps actually caused an increase in the available space.

Here's what a2sd check shows:

[Nexus One Android Development] Hanny:
well, about how many apps do you have? if you have 350 then 16mb left with DT should be normal

if u have less than that, like only 200 or less, try a "move and rebuild" of dalvik cache (refer to A2SDGUI or command list) or simply clear them in recovery and let it boot for 10mins

if there are no difference at all, try making a nandroid first, then do a complete wipe

flash a rom, just the rom without any others, boot phone and check internal storage space, jot it down

nowclear cache, install the dt script, run commands including apps and dalvik, let it reboot, see whether there are increased free internal space? maybe this would be the easiest way to check whether dt space calculation is compatible with your rom or sd card/ its partition
[Nexus One Android Development] Theshawty:
Seems there is no A2SD flag set. Try typing "su" followed by "a2sd install"
[Nexus One Android Development] goister:
It's my wife's phone so I can't remember how many apps, but I can't imagine it to be >200, even including preloaded apps.

Before I updated the zip file, I've already cleared the cache partition, as well as the dalvik cache. It still results in a boot loop after flashing the update and rebooting.

It looks like DT A2SD is not compatible with CM7.1 on the Desire, and that a complete wipe is required in my situation? Is there a better A2SD? Amarullz AS2SDX seems to be only compatible with RunnyMede Desire ROM according to his thread. How about simple2ext, which seems to support CM7 only?
[Nexus One Android Development] Hanny:
"No Apps2SD Flag File not found" is a double-negative statement, means, a2sd is there installed :p

yes, try simple2ext for now :) lot more convenient for you

just titanium backup, full wipe, flash rom, install s2e, tick appropriate boxes and wait for reboot, titanium restore

Download the app A2SDGUI. It gives you all options pertaining to DT commands. As for moving data, you can but it will get slower. Try not to unless you have a better SD class.

OK. I got this working. But it is NOT as what I expected. I expect to have an option for each app to stay in the phone memory or in the sd-ext. Can anyone please tell me how to do this?

Some regular used app SHOULD be in the phone memory because: 1, it is much faster. 2. it uses less battary. CyanogenMod's apps2sd give me this option easily. If Darktremor's script cannot do it, it is basically useless.

how to install this without flashing it via recovery?

i have a phone for which CWM is not there, I am on stock recovery but i have root how can i install this script?
[Nexus One Android Development] Hanny:
darktremor is seriously outdated, not joking, thats 2 whole years.

with all due respect to tkirton, I loved darktremor on my Optimus One P500 on Gingerbread but I have since experienced various bugs that affected my system to the level of heavily annoying my daily usage.

I strongly recommend you to choose some alternatives out there, for example Mounts2SD, or the recently commonly used ChonMod A2SD

I helped my friend to Data2SD her Galaxy Ace with Amarullz and it worked pretty fine. Its installation does not require a recovery if I am remembering correctly, but just root is required because you will move one or two files into init.d with rootexplorer.

Last but not least, you may also try S2E (if you're on CyanogenMod) or Link2SD directly from the Play Store. They don't require you to flash anything as well :D (but of course you still need an ext partition in the first place)

Hope I have helped you, and what a recall of the old memories when I see this thread having new posts in my xda control panel :o

[Nexus One Android Development] tkirton:
Yep. Just flash right over it.
[Nexus One Android Development] tkirton:
Usually if you run a2sd check, it will tell you. But if you really want to make sure, type the following:

cd /data

ls -l

Check to see if you see "app -> /system/sd/app" or "app -> /sd-ext/app". If you do and you have programs on your phone, then it's working.
[Nexus One Android Development] tkirton:
It could be dalvik-cache. I believe RC3 cleared the dalvik-cache when it flashed. The 2.7.5 final doesn't do that unless certain conditions are met.

The logs are also stored on /data, which could also affect it (since the program will keep the current and last two log files...RC3 didn't do that).

You may want to move dalvik-cache to the SD card or (if you aren't running SenseUI) to the cache partition. I have a fix for running dalvik on cache partition and SenseUI in the works.

Guess I misunderstood and thought apps would be moved automatically. If not what is the biggest advantages of keeping program. I ask because I am just learning this stuff. Auto is selected in Mod Installer, not sure what that means exactly for new apps.

I now have all the htc apps on ext3, but not the CM6 apps. Do I just run the install scripts again, which ones, or all 4 listed, like I did for htc apps. Some of these are dupes like Calendar and Car Home etc. Will they just overwrite duplicates or will it mess up anything. Actually Calendar is two different icons for htc and CM6, or maybe it is the google version.

Internal Memory is still being decreased??!!??

HI,

First, thanks for your great work!

I've installed your Apps2Ext on Geo411m Stock rom,

and everything seems to be installed correctly - running a2sd check

show that Apps, Private Apps and Dalvik-cache - all running from SD-Card, it shows that the paratition is mounted on Ext3, when running a2sd diskspace it shows the memory in the ext3 paratition is being use - so basically everything seems to be OK.

But when I install apps, my internal phone memory is still being decreased (for some apps it seems that it decreases less that the total size of the app - but still decreases).

from what i understand i should not loose even 1MB of internal space with your system, so am I doing something wrong?

are there something to do after installing apps to move them to ex3 paratition?

what should be the setting for for the "pm setInstallLocation" command? maybe this has something to do with my problem? although I tried different setting and all of scenarios the internal phone memory was decreased.

Thanks,

Guy.
[Nexus One Android Development] ereuveni:
My guess is that your default install location is SD card, which will use the Froyo method of moving apps to SD.

Try moving applications to 'internal memory' via settings->Manage applications and see if that frees some internal memory.
