by checking ROM space, do u mean Settings -> SD card & phone storage -> Internal Memory? because this keep decreasing :( from originally 130+mb now left 117mb
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] gajahwhite:
Hi there..

I've read all post in all pages in from this thread..

But lot of question and answer.. kinda make me confuse..

can someone compile a step to make partition for microSD and the step to use App2SD..

and please include link for software dload.. such as Hiren's Boot CD & App2SD.apk

thanks :)
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] rhythmjhan:
i saw u in lowyat :P gajahwhite~
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] gajahwhite:
hehe.. yes i'm from LYN.. b4 this I use Motorola Milestone, got no problem to use the App2SD.. now using XT720.. different i guess.. :)
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] rhythmjhan:
i remember pm-ing u for ur phone :D...

i got a new set already :)...

i finished the processes..but i don know if my apps2sd is working
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] gajahwhite:
guess what?

my App2SD working now.. no need to connect to PC.. no need to type anything.. no need to do lot of setting..

just ran the application.. and done.. im happy with this apps ^_^

im using the same apps with my old milestone, but this one is the latest version which suitable for XT720...

:D
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] rhythmjhan:
woah..can i have it? :D

until now I dont even know if my apps2SD is working :(...

i got the folder /system/sd/data/apps but my internal memory is still decreasing :(
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] spiderx_mm:
umm ... open the apps folder to see if you can see the installed apps.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] rhythmjhan:
yea... the apps are in the folder... :)

internal memory still decreasing :(...
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] yadvani:
ok guys ill tell you what I have done...I have lots of games and applications installed with my internal memory still free at 119mb.

1) when you start from scratch note down your internal memory. Then after every application check it. If it has decreased then maybe that app is not compatible and will end up using internal memory.

2) Some apps store there cache internally (i.e. browser) so move their cache to the SD card to. Search for an app called TA Utility in the Market Place. You'll get Move Cache for Root Users (by Costa Mikhael). Download & install that. helps save some space

3) Find another application called CacheCleaner (by L. Sartory) and use that frequently to clean the internal cache. Both the applications are free and require root

4) The biggest internal space hog for me was facebook. Check in your applications list for facebook and see how much space it is using as it keeps growing. As of right now I couldn't find a way to move the cache to SD card. So the only way to clean it was logging out.

try these steps cause apps2sd is working miraculously for me :)

*EDIT*

Just tried CacheMate costs only $1 and is amazing can clear cache from many many applications. Totally worth it.

hey guys,

just a little work-around there.

when you copy the Apps2SD folder to SD card. ... the folder name should be APP2SD ...

if you give the name APPS2SD, you will get that error.

I also encounter this error many time before i open the sh file to see what's inside.

and also use this command

#sh install_use_busybox.sh -f

if will force the system to overwrite the previous created folders.

cheers!!

[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] spiderx_mm:
Actually, it's the problem with the /system/sd folder.

if you encounter any error after creating /system/sd folder, it's in the system folder, so it's difficult to manipulate again.

when i got this error first time, I use "Root Explorer" to get SU access and delete the folder.

after that, the App2SD is installed.

But, strangely enough, that method is not working with my friend's phone. the /system/sd folder kept re-appearing after deleting.

finally, we proceed to flash the rom and did everything from scratch again. :D

apps dump needed

Hi there,

would anyone please help me out with an app-folder dump for the xt720?

I didn´t backup before deleting several apps. :o

Thanks in advance. :)
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] civi309:
I found the way. Just simpli click on mount as R/O after deleting the SD folder. It will not appear again anymore. Now i can reinstall apps2sd, and it work fine ^^

btw, here is the software that you can partion your SD card on your phone. PLEASE ONLY USE THE PARTION FUNCTION (app2sd function and other function on this software is incompatible with XT720 and it may be make your firmware broken). Thanks for hainguyen273 - the young developer from Vietnam. Hope that his soft will work perfectly on XT720 in the future.

Link download

There is one issue i got now that market can not download file, due to Gtalk app and service cannot load. Any body know how to fix this issue or anybody have the same problem here?
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] civi309:
Can you share it for every one to test this app please?
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] desean:
no need for app, just use adb to check.

enter the following in adb

adb shell ls -l /data

you will see an output something like the below (note: the below output is not from a milestone xt720):

this will show that apps2sd is working. the 3rd line, may or may not have, depending on the apps2sd script.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] civi309:
Can i just install jit cuz i already installed app2sd?
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Hahutzy:
I'm not sure, because I was in your shoes but ultimately decided to install it from stock.

If you would like to try, then just unrar that apps2sd folder to root of sd.

Open up cmd prompt

Start from step 38

At step 44, type n instead of y

In other news, I installed JIT, cranked my phone up to 1.3GHz and ran Linpack.

14.125 MFLOPS

I'm sure my phone is not the best performing XT720, but I think I'm the only one that tried stretching it's capabilities so far...

Edit: I'm able to install JIT but not apps2sd, anyone has any idea why is that so?
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] NorskHelgen:
Took me a while but yea, I finally realized to look down at my god damn phone. My problem now it I did Hahutzy's method step by step without problems and got it to reboot, but it's way past 10 mins now, going on 2 hours. Any idea why my device is not booting back up?
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] NorskHelgen:
While Hahutzy's guide did work for me, there are not very good guides out there for ADB. Even ADB for dummies did not include going into device manager on Windows and uninstalling the Android phone's driver. It just included another crapping usb driver tool that didn't even work for me at all. I was also confused by the sizes Hahutzy used to use on the partitioned sd card with this 513 info (makes no sense for a 32gb SD). I eventually just split my own sizes for fat32 and ext2, while adding a swap aswell.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Hahutzy:
Because after you format your FAT32 partition, the 513MiB left turns into 512.50MiB

The goal was to have a 512MiB partition for the apps in ext2 partition.

And yea... I would write a guide for ADB but I installed it long ago...
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] hungtd2:
Hi Yadvani,

We only can set active for one partition.

Which partition we should set it active???

TKs
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] progenx:
active as in primary i presume. and the main partition is flag as boot, that's it.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] solnyshok:
I used program called app2card to partition my card, then followed rest of instructions and it worked well. It works on your phone, and you do not need to worry about linux, active partitions, etc
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] longj49:
thanks for the info! installed and working on my xt720. latest version is 2.4.1 and can be downloaded here:

http://www.mediafire.com/?39pwzj15ah025uj
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] B_e_n:
I try your app

And after installing succesfully it reboot the phone and after a long long wait to reboot when opening the app it says:

Apps on SD failure

App2card had been activated but system could not boot and load apps from this sd card. So all apps on this sd card were disabled and system is now running apps in internal memory

This is the error code 2...

It propose a fix button but it the same...

Apps2sd worked fine with the SG rom..... Anybody understand this??????
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] longj49:
mine is a Starhub set and i didn't encounter any problem at all.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] solnyshok:
I use app2card only to partition the card. Then, follow instructions for ADB in this thread.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] hungtd2:
I also using app2sd application, the lastest version. It working fine with my xt.

But it seem the battery drain very fast when using this method.

Is there any one encounter this problem?
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] B_e_n:
I have the same problem when i try the old style and app2card don't want to do it.... I m stuck !!!!

Any idea???? I don t understand it worked fine with the SG rom and now with the EU rom... noway !!!
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] solnyshok:
try again after reboot. Don't use app2card before this, I think it uses ext2.ko and prevents script from updating it.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] spiderx_mm:
I think there's no issue with EU ROM.

I flashed the EU ROM last week and APPS2SD is installed smoothly without any problem. I even do it without PC, running the command from Terminal Simulator
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] B_e_n:
You were right it wasn t a rom issue (or a sdcard issue) I reinstall the rom and re format the ext2 partition in the sd and know it works great !!!!!

thanks!
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] jakelights:
Can you give a link where you download the application?
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] spiderx_mm:
I think the Apps2SD application is only for Froyo users.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] jakelights:
Ohh, sorry. I thought this was for xt720, that dont have froyo yet
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] B_e_n:
It s for the xt720 and no it isn t for froyo cause froyo come with it you don t have to install

And to get the link read all the thread you will find it.......
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] hungtd2:
No! it for 2.1 not for Froyo actually

It working fine for xt720. I using other way to get the app2sd but the battery still drain very fast, may be it not because of the application.

You can download from this link

[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] jakelights:
Thank you. :-)
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] jakelights:
Anyway it has an updated version (2.4.2) that supports xt720. Btw i tried to install but i've got an endless loop boot. What i did is install the other method of apps2sd and then install the app. Now apps to sd working fine. Maybe i'll make a step when i got home.

amjad_2020 i was stuck like you and i format my sdcard with Gparted availaible here http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php

with only a ext2 part (of 2Gb for me) and a fat32 for the rest (and the both in primary not logical)

and after recopy all my card and a reinstall of apps2sd it s working fine
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Beako:
Looks like restarting my phone fixed it. Now I have another issue. How do I tell my phone what to install to the SD card? As far as I can tell, it seems as though all of my previously installed apps have been moved to the SD card and I now have 133 MB free on my internal memory.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] spiderx_mm:
after installing App2SD, the next installations will be automatically installed on SD. u don't need to mention anything
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Beako:
That's really strange though.. because I installed something else just now and it took up internal memory and not SD card space.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] spiderx_mm:
I think it's the cache or other temp files from that application.

try install another app and check whether it goes to "/system/app" folder or "/system/sd/app"

if it's going to "/system/sd/app", it's gonna be fine.

by the way, The SD card space show in the "SD Card and Phone Storage" is FAT32 partition. the EXT2 partition which the apps installed will not be shown.

----- update --------

new apps are installing to both in phone and SD card. :D

Phone is stuck in starting phase.

Hi people, I installed apps2sd and was using it for a while, while swapping the memory card, without know the memory card got formatted. Now my phone wont start, I just has the motorola symbol. Wat to do now??? How to flash?? I phone wont go past the Moto logo... Cos my memory card is formatted!!
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] B_e_n:
You try with out any card???

Or to format your card again?
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Balajiindia:
Hey I tried to use another card, Reformatted it but nothing works. The phone wont start. But it is getting charged etc. I'm planning to partition the memory card again to Fat32, EXT2 and Linux Swap to check whether it works again. I have also sent a mail to Motorola regarding this and yet to receive a response from them.

One thing for sure, if this doesn't work I need to return this to Motorola for flashing it!! :mad: or throw it off.....:(
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] gommers1978:
Have you allready tried to get into the bootloader??
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] hungtd2:
If you used the apps2sd application to make the app to sd work. What you have to do is partition the sd card to Fat32+ ext 2 (3) + swap and put it back to the phone. The phone will boot up.

If you used another method, like command via adb it won't start without original card. It mean you have to flash the phone.

I thought you not yet try to get bootloader? have another topic talk abt it.also guide you how to flash. the thread " request original rom for milestone xt.." or sth.

another thing is whenever you rooted the phone the warranty will void because it is not accepted by Motorola (or whatever phone). So don't waiting for the reply from Motorola :D. Before you take it to service center you have to flash it back to original (if still can boot up).

Cheer
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Balajiindia:
