i don't know what class is this sd card, it is not printed on the card it is from nokia.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] shinnsan:
I see. Is it alright to remove the sd card from the phone?

Edit: Found out it's not possible.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] shinnsan:
Would love to use this but it's too laggy. I'm using class 6 16gb sd card. Failed to install the one without moving dalvik cache to sd. The one with, succeeded. Allocated 1.3gb for ext2. Random reboots.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] jujukos:
when i type cd /adb on cmd it says not found :/
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] shinnsan:
Where did you extract your adb folder? You have to direct cmd to the location first.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] bern4d1:
Step 1 : Preparing your micro SD Card.

Please refer to this link ( http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index...rd_partitioning ) on how to prepare your micro sd card.

For better performance I would advise that you use a Class 10 card instead of the original card that comes with the phone because the card is only Class 2 card. For more infomation on speed class rating of sd card please go here -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital

An excerpt taken from wikipedia :-

The following are the ratings of some currently available cards:

* Class 0 - These cards do not specify performance, which includes all legacy cards prior to class specifications.

* Class 2 - Minimum of 2 MB/s performance. Lowest speed for SDHC cards.

* Class 4 - Minimum of 4 MB/s performance.

* Class 6 - Minimum of 6 MB/s performance.

* Class 10 - Minimum of 10 MB/s performance.

Note : The recommended maximum size of ext2 partition is 1.4GB. I've tried 3GB before and ended up with unstable system and eventually crash the phone. So if you're really greedy since you've bought a 16GB or 32GB card to partition the ext2 more than the recommended size and if your phone is unstable, you've been warn but normaly 1.4 GB are enough

Step 2 : Download the related files.

1. App2sd : see attachment

2. adb shell : see attachment

Step 3 : Enabling USB Debugging mode on you phone.

Go to Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging (check this option).

Step 4 : Installing App2sd.

Create a folder name adb in your pc and extract all the files from adb.zip into this folder.

Connect your phone to your pc and mount the sd card. Extract all the file from app2sd2.1.zip to the root of your sd card. Make sure to unmount the sd card before continue the next step.

In your pc open up a dos terminal box by typing cmd in the Search programs and files box.

Type

cd /adb

then type

adb shell

then type

sh /sdcard/app2sd.sh

after that step it written app2sd.sh: not found. what to do?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] shinnsan:
Do not mount your sd card. And make sure the said file is in the root of the sd card.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] ParrotSquawk:
After a factory wipe to 1.6, an upgrade to 2.1 global, app2sd was fine. However after installing an update via PC Companion/SEUS then reinstalling app2sd, I start getting process errors and widget errors. Removing app2sd seemed to solve the problem. I wonder if it has something to do with moving the cache.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] bern4d1:
I did exactly what you told me. in the first page there's 3 files in the attachment (app2sd.zip, adb.zip, app2sd2.1.zip). i've try to extract app2sd.zip to the root of my sdcard but it falis. even if i extract app2sd2.1.zip. (which is I don't know which one do I have to use)

here is what happened:

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] xcxa23:
its better to use app2sd2.1.zip. did u make the partition correctly? did u make a total of 3partiton?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] bern4d1:
3 partitions? no, I just made FAT32 (primary) first and then ext2 (primary) for the rest 500Mb. Is it wrong?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] shinnsan:
sh /sdcard/app2sd.sh

There's supposed to be a space in between "sh" and "/sdcard".
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] bern4d1:
it's working now. thanks a lot.

one question, will all applications be installed to phone memory if I already use all of 500 Mb ext2 partition on sdcard?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] shinnsan:
You're welcome. Sorry, I don't know, have not tried that out myself.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] rein_hiryu:
Hi, I'm really sorry if my question sounds very idiot and noob. I've used the search tools and found no answer for my question.

So I want to change my SD Card from the original to 8gb class 6. In my old SD Card I had installed app2sd and JiT. Do I have to install app2sd and JiT again if I change to new SD Card? Or I just have to partition the new SD Card and just insert it to phone?

Sorry again if this is a stupid question, and pardon my bad english.

Thanks in advance

Regards,

Rein_hiryu
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] bern4d1:
now my phone keep restarting after reboot. what happen? what to do?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] xcxa23:
i am pretty sure that u had to make partition on ur new sdcard. i assume you had make a full backup using titanium.

1. i would recommend that u make the partition on the new sdcard and then

continue with the app2sd tutorial provided in this thread.

2. After finish partitioning and done the app2sd tutorial, transfer the titanium backup folder to ur new sdcard

and reboot.

3. After reboot, restore back the apps that you want. If the app u installed

support App2sd, it will install on the ext2 partition.

ps: i personally done this cos i recently purchase a new 16gb class 6 sdcard. no problem at all.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] xcxa23:
is the led still blue?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] bern4d1:
yes it was, but now I put away my sdcard and formatted it. also I reset factory settings. I decided to use the original, but now my phone won't start. It just stuck at "SONY ERICSSON". what to do?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] xcxa23:
u should not had formatted your sdcard. u should be able to enter to xrecovery. had u try pull out the battery for a few second and put it back n switch on the phone? if u have done so and still stuck at sony ericsson, then u had to flash it with flashtool or SEUS
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] bern4d1:
can I do the flash with this tool?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=920746

can i get the original with just put only one file "Generic version 2.1update1 build 2.0.A.0.504" in firmware folder and flash it? is it right?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] xcxa23:
yup. but that is global generic rom.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] rein_hiryu:
Thanks :) I'll try after my new SD CARD is arrive today, thanks again
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] bern4d1:
what does global generic rom means? is it original?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] astrall:
i dont have any card reader so i use my phone instead. but when i start partition magic it detected my card as BAD DISK, i cannot delete the partition.. any help?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] xcxa23:
have u tried to format sdcard using ur x10?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] xcxa23:
its original but from different region. each x10 have thier own SI number.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] astrall:
okay i installed app2sd now.. but..

1. Are my apps visible on sd when i connect it to the computer?

2. My x10 is booting in blue led, is it now safe/succesfull?

3. What if i dont like app2sd anymore how can i uninstall it?

4. Can I delete the files I extracted in my sd from app2sd2.1.zip?

EDIT: 5. What must be the size of my phone memory now, it say 396MB now? Am I successfully installed app2sd?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Flo95:
I have some questions:

Can I wipe my data + cache on my current rom, install Apps2SD and restore my data + cache again?

I don't want to reflash...

Do I have to wipe the cache?

And are the apps slower when they are on a class4 card than when they are stored on the phone memory?

Does someone use Apps2SD on a class 4 card and can say if it's fast or laggy?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] xcxa23:
1. yup. the apps are visible.

2. according to this thread, its successful and mine also showing blue. :D

3. there is a option to uninstall it, however i did not use it cos im liking the app2sd :p.

4. im still keeping the file cos just in case anything happen. (who knows:rolleyes:)

5. the free memory after fresh install of rom is about 400+ mb. however, it might be vary depending on the SI.

ps: there is a way to see if the partition working, go to market n download drivewatch, this apps show the memory level including app2sd or install titanium backup pro.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] xcxa23:
it is advised to do app2sd with a fresh flash rom and sdcard. however, if u dont want to format your sdcard, u can just do the app2sd without doing any partition. the default partition size for ext2 is 369mb. this i personally tried and works. since i like gaming :p, i had no choice to do a full partition.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] bern4d1:
thanks a lot. now my phone back to normal.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] astrall:
Thanks. Another question, there was a time that when I boot my phone the LED is purple then it reboot, then the LED turns blue, is it normal? Whats the meaning when the LED is purple? Is it dangerous?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] bern4d1:
in my case, I use class 6 sdcard and yesterday I flash back my phone to original because after app2sd installation it was too laggy. I don't know if I did something wrong or not. but that's what I experienced. that's why I flashed it back. :p
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] rein_hiryu:
If I wanted to switch my old SD Card to a new one, should I uninstall the old one first then install it again in new one or I just have to install the new one for app2sd work in my new sd card? Thanks

Unmount your phone but let the usb connected and enable USB debugging.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] astrall:
I successfully install app2sd, but why does everytime I install apps it still consume some phone memory?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] xcxa23:
no problem.. :)

i also personally experience the purple led. in my case, all my apps 'force close'. if urs boot up normally without any force close, its okay. but i advise u tat make a backup using xrecovery frequently. just in case. :p

ps: if u have installed xrecovery, NEVER reinstall busybox

just to be save, u should use titanum backup everything, then uninstall the app2sd. if not, those apps tat have installed in ext2 partition, will force close or missing.

so, its urs app2sd working?

well, some apps does not support app2sd, so it might consume phone memory. as for games apps, mostly it will consume more phone memory
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] bern4d1:
@xcxa23: is it has to be no laggy if I use class 6 sdcard? because I experienced it laggy. everything was too slow when I have app2sd installed.

or is it my fault that I didn't reset factory settings first before app2sd installation?

(I instaledl app2sd when I still have all my full applications installed on phone)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] davelinders:
This worked for me but now i dont needed this anymore because i have 2.2.1

and that supports app2sd.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] astrall:
ok i flashed back cause my class 6 got busted (damn!), can I still use class 2 mem card here? or will it be faster if let my apps on phone memory? if not, can I use class 2?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] chzro:

You must follow the thread in the development section there you will find FreeX10 2.2.1. If you can do this app2sd thing then you will surely can do the 2.2.1 thing.

5. try to enter recovery menu (reboot and keep pressing back button) but it start as usual.

then I try the second method:

1. rename xrecovery-0.2-release.apk to xrecovery-0.2-release.zip

2. extract busybox, chargemon, and xrecovery.tar to system/bin (with root esplorer)

3. try to enter recovery menu (reboot and keep pressing back button) but it start as usual again.

did I miss something?

my app2sd installs fine. however after a few days i get the same purple led others are getting. i even tried the fix permissions option via xrecovery someone posted. doesnt work and all my applications crash. app2sd never gave me problems until i installed xrecovery for themes and packages. ive removed the 3 files for xrecovery to have it uninstalled. hopefully wont give the same problem again. if anyone has any suggestions, pls do share :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] davelinders:
Try to flash to original firmeware en format youre sdcard and make one partition because in 2.2 you xont need extra partitions.

When you are now on a clean firmware root it then download busybox and then place the three files from xrec. Into the system/bin.

But be sure you gonna have te clean firmware with. 54 baseband. When you have all of this then copy beta4 from xfree10 to the root of youre sdcard en then reboot.

When sony ericsson pops up hit the back button about 3/5 times. Then choose install zip from sd and choose beta4 then install and reboot.

You have now 2.2 and app2sd support without having adb uses and partition.

It works for me and i have a score around 3700 linpack and 1500 quadrant.

Thanks for guide, but not working for me

Thanks for instructions.

I managed to get everything installed (tried both app2sd_2.1 and the dalvik mod) but I must say, I too ran into only problems.

First everything seemed fine with app2sd_2.1, but apps seemed to install both on ext2/3 and internal (instead of only on sd ext2 partition). With dalvik mod I ran into force close issues all over, and install issues.

So I went back to my one partition on the sd card, using my favorite apps only.

Sucks if SE doesn't release 2.2 for the x10 mini pro!!!

I will never buy SE again... this comming from a happy camper since my SE 68i.

I may just have to opt for the new LG optimus 2x - looking forward... I just will miss my keypad.

Anyway, I wish there was a simpler way...

xRecovery and app2sd = marriage made in hell?

So...after reading all the messages (and deciphering all the shorthand ... please people, type complete sentences) I have gathered from the chatter that if you have xRecovery installed, you cannot run app2sd.

I was unable to boot my phone after installing xRecovery then installing app2sd both with and without moving the cache. You can't really install it before because the ROM overwrites whatever app2sd does.

Wolfilein: it was fun while it lasted. Thanks for your efforts.

I think it is a busybox issue as xRecovery is very picky about the busybox version it runs.
