I think these step would slove your problem.

First remove app2sd.

Then format your ext2 partition.

Reset your phone.(factory restore)

Then install app2sd.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ryderslider:
hey i had a fresh installation at z4root an app2sd

so in the program titanium is the ext2 partition but i cant install apps to sd

error message is :

not enough space
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] danniechua:
will try that again...do i have to remove the app2sd? or can i just restore my phone with the software update..?

and how do i push the apps manually? there are some apps that is quite huge cant inastall...

thanks man!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ozzy1212:
check that your ext2 partition has enough space:)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ozzy1212:
restore is cleaner...lesser probability for errors...

pushing apps means you gotta fix permissions after copying the apk to your /data/app folder.

check the permissions of the other files and just do the same for your new apk.

cheers!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] danniechua:
i see thanks alot!!

one more question how do i restore :confused: very sorry is my first time using andriod phone last time was using nokia thinking for a change i wanna try andriod :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ozzy1212:
you can restore w SEUS...easiest, at least for me...

download the Sony Ericsson Update Service from here...

follow the instructions like in updating your phone...

choose reinstall...and it will wipe your phone like it's brand new so make sure you've got backups of apps and stuff...

after that, go get rooted. z4root is the easiest.

try installing a file explorer first to help you install apps.

then reformat and repartition your sdcard

then run the app2sd script again.

cheers!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] danniechua:
oooo that is what SEUS means lol...will try soon...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ryderslider:
500mb are not enough? the partition is fresh
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ozzy1212:
it's really hard to guess what went wrong w your installation...

i'm trying to help by guessing where and what could have gone wrong based on how i did it and on how other people did it in this thread...

it'll be very beneficial to everyone if you could provide more info, screenshots and such, steps you took, to make it easier to figure out.:)

note: i just followed the steps exactly as how wolfilein wrote it down and it worked.

(my mistakes, w other installations, were wrong partitioning and applying app2sd over an existing one w/o reformatting or wiping w seus...)

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Yusei:
Can anyone help me?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] svprm:
@Yusei

What problem you have?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Yusei:
even with app2sd installed the apps are installing to the phone memory

=(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] svprm:
First remove the app2sd.

Second format your ext2.

Then install it freshly.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Yusei:
the thing is that the apps don't occupate all the phone memory, it's like the apps have been compacted
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ozzy1212:
i think that's how it works...

a few kbytes still gets stored on the phone...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Yusei:
but isn't a few kb, it's a ot of mb

and now i have uninstalled and now i try try try to install again and fail...

it always said that the cmd cannot found sd card

can anyone explain me a simple way to put this thing work perfectly?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ozzy1212:
you must have a working adb setup on your pc...

do you know how to do that?

if you do, then you must have errors somewhere else.

have you formatted properly?

did you extract the files from the app2sd zip to your sdcard?

did you follow step 4 of the OP properly?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] -Sumsy-:
Hi could anyone possible help please.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ozzy1212:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] -Sumsy-:
HI i had this installed earlyer and how i got it on my phone

in the ADB folder i copied CMD Prompt in to the same folder .and dragged the the file called adb over the top of CMD. and it opens it up

And it should look like the picture in my attachments

adb shell

$ su -

# sh /sdcard/app2sd.sh

after that press enter

after it installs

Ignore any message from the form

rm failed for /etc/mount_sd.sh

No such file or directory.

When phone reboots, remove the usb-cable.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] -Sumsy-:
Hi yes my phone is rooted as i have used Z4 to root it with unless its made a mistake.

have you had this problem before
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ozzy1212:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] -Sumsy-:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Skaldinho:

It freed like 10mb only though, so i have just 76 mb free, which dont seem like too much for me? How can I rise it to 100+ like some others have (sorry, i really dont want to go through all these pages :-P)?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Yusei:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] -Sumsy-:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Yusei:
No

You put a 0 in cmd not in the chargemon

But forget it, it doesn't work with me again...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Yusei:
Actually i discover something boring, installing documents to go the app goes to phone memory, but others apps continue to going to sdcard, so finally it really work
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] svprm:
@To all

Surely,Phone memory will decrease due to caches.

Many app will store a caches only on phone memory.

If you use Dolphin Browser,it wont eat your phone memory.

App like tweetdeck,tubemate,other browser,etc... will store caches only on phone memory.

You can clear the cache using some app.(search in market).

Hope this help you.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] -Sumsy-:
Has anybodie worked out how to free the space that gets used on the phone useing APP2SD.as I am running on empty a few others have this problem 2.has anyone worked how to remve files dat get stored on phone memory remove or mve them to SD 2
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] svprm:
we must move dalvik-cache to ext2.

Is the only way to solve.

I think it is possible.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Yusei:

After clean cache it realese 3mb :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ryderslider:
on the pc?

this programm i used but don´t going on with app2sd
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ozzy1212:
the Mini Tool Partition is just a tool to prepare your sd card for the app2sd script.

it doesn't give you app2sd.

you have to run the script after formatting your sd card w fat32 and ext2 partitions.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] 7OH:

whats wrong? i have rebooted the phone like 3 times already and tried again and nothing i even rebooted the computer!!!

can anyone help me?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Blitzkri3g:
Axel,I need you to clarify some points here!

I m on X8 2.1 r00ted with xRecovery installed and backed up everything.

Now,I m gonna need to create partitions,right?

We ll start by creating 2 FAT32 partitions as you advise above!

The first one should be named what? :confused:

(This is going to be used as "normal" SD Card partition,no? )

The second should be named "ext2" as I understand!

The second partition should be the one that storages apps?

After this step which partition should we copy the apps2SD script to?!?

Also what about the files that are already on my single partition SDCard right now?

Should I copy paste them into the 1rst partition in order not to lose my data after apps2sd?

Thank you for your help! :)

N.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] svprm:
Copy the app2sd script to FAT32 partition.

Then run the script.

It will work.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ozzy1212:
you have to make 2 Different types of partition

1st one FAT32 format

(for normal sd card saving and all that)

2nd one ext2 format

(for the a2sd partition)

these are types NOT names of partitions.

hope you get that clear first.

otherwise, your partition won't be recognized by the app2sd script.

don't bother w the names...:)

cheers!

Ext2 is a type of file system
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lije87:
With the new update the root is not possibile. I have not updated yet, but I'd like to know if it will be possible in the future to obtain the root and to install app2sd.

Thanks

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mitch_55:
Hi guys,

Why I can't see the ext2 partition ? Is it normal.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ricanta:
Yes, it's normal. With Titanium Backup you can see it. If the installation is correct you will have three partitions, one of them called app2sd.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] peetr_:
Should be going on mini pro too http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893568

But i am not sure, so rather make the backup first. :)

Thanks.

With Titanium Backup, I could see I have had 3 partitions.

But, how to do to see what is on the "app2sd" partition?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] roiy1:
Happy new year to all of you. I'm on Xperia X8 2.1 root. I've manage to complete the whole rooting proccess a week ago and the phone/firmware/software is working very smooth. In order for apps2sd to work fine too, should I reflash/reroot my phone and install apps2sd over a fresh installation or can I install it without reflashing my phone again? Will it work or will it give me problems? Should i reformat my SD card (4GB - 20/Mbps) with FAT32 and create the ext2 partition or can I create the ext2 partition without reformatting? Thank you for your time and have a happy new year!!!

EDIT : OK guys everything's working fine!!! One more question : Is there a free Root Explorer app or the only one is payed Root Explorer? Thanx again!

EDIT #2 : OK found Root Explorer free edition. Perfect!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] roiy1:
Download Linux Reader for Windows and then connect your phone via USB and mount the card to the PC. You'll be able to explore ext2 partition!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] phoxy84:
I have the ext2 partition (can see it in Titanium Backup) and installed App2SD after flashing my phone.

now when I look at Titanium, I can see my internal memory draining... How is that possible? Even when I remove the SD Card, I can still see the apps, so I think they are installed on the internal memory.

How can I manually move them to the ext2 partition?

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hoangluongvinh:
I don't understand guide on first page, after phone restart, how to get

The Explanation

If you look through the app2sd.sh script, command rm /etc/mount_sd.sh means remove/delete the mount_sd.sh file from /etc folder, since that file does not exist in the fresh install phone, it gives this error message but continue with other commands..

rm /etc/mount_sd.sh

mv /system/bin/sh /system/bin/sh_bak

cat /sdcard/sh.sh > /system/bin/sh

chmod 777 /system/bin/sh

busybox cp /sdcard/mount_sd.sh /etc/mount_sd.sh

Question on mount in app2sd-skript

Maybe my question was already answered and I didn't find it - in this case: sorry.

The skript doesn't work for my mobile and reviewing it I found following line:

mount -t ext2 /dev/block//vold/179:2 /system/sd

Why the double-slash between block and vold? I find a /dev/block/vold/179:2 in the file system of my mobile. So shouldn't it be:

mount -t ext2 /dev/block/vold/179:2 /system/sd ?

And, second question: On the SD-card the first partition ist the ext2, the second FAT32. Does it matter - or should it be vice versa?
