[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] NickThess:
Guys,the whole process was a success for me,the app2sd runs flawlessly.However,any music i copy into the sd card,whether it is in the music folder or not,can be found in the astro file manager,but cannot be played directly from tunewiki( music app ).And in the music options of the file manager,'play' and 'set as ringtone' are not available,on every single track.Any help? u20i,rooted,jit enabled,app2sd,latest firmware.

p.s. i have removed the SE music player with titanium backup,if it does matter.

Edit: they are played with another music player but still,when i want to pick a ringtone(i can through the music player) through settings/sound and display,they are not shown in the music library...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] farsight73:
@NickThess ... I think you must had uninstalled something that preventing you from pick a ringtone through the settings. Not sure exactly which one of them but try check this thread
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] wspiders:
@farsight73, works well in you X10 mini pro:confused:

please tell me as it did....on my phone after installation with xRecovery, does not pass the Logo SE:(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] farsight73:
Do you mean the phone freezed at the sony logo? Have you rooted the phone before trying xrecovery installation?

Ok 1 question, could i reconfig this to(for example) move the whole /data directory to my sd?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] racila_alexandru:
I have a BIG problem... I installed App2SD and now I don't have android market and the other aplications!

What I have to do?

Please help me! Thanks:)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] farsight73:
- If you're having ext3 for app2sd, then just reboot the phone would solved the problem. Some app might FC so you need to reinstall them via market.

- If you're having ext2 for app2sd, I suggest you to restore everything via xrecovery and format back ext2 to ext3 and again install app2sd via xrecovery.

- You might need to reboot the phone(manually) a few times for all the changes to take place. Be passion as it tends to boot longer and settle longer on the first or 2nd boot.

@racila_alexandru... I don't think it would work.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dave481985:
hello mates

i already have app2sd installed in an ext2 partition and i want to install app2sd.dc2sd.ext4 in an ext3 partition

if i just format my ext2 partition to ext3 and restore a backup that i did before i format to ext3, will it restore properly with all my apps and settings?

thnx in advance
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] peetr_:
If you mean xRecovery backup, so no it won´t restore your apps.

Do backup with Titanium backup.

Yes you can install it on ext2 partition.....but it would be better if you do this n an ext3 partition.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lawgone:
I'll be trying this within this day, but just wanna make sure:

1. In partitioning the SD card, are there specific size recommendations? Say for example I have 4GB. What are the preferred sizes?

2. From fresh install of the firmware (since I just bought my mini 2 nights ago), I'll be rooting it with SOC, then install xRecovery, then this App2SD... is it the right process, I mean the proper order? Will it work together?

3. Should I succeed in the installation and make everything work properly, how would I access the sd card via pc (with usb cable of course)? I mean are there any complications with that?

Hope to get quick reply.

UPDATE:

Firmware updated, rooted, xRecovery installed, sd card partitioned to FAT32 and ext3, installed .zip file via xRecovery, reboot and...

stuck up at SE logo for quite some time then automatically reboot again then...

finally make it through.

Question: How will I know if i succeeded?

I checked on the settings and it says that I only have 1.32GB on sd memory and 175MB internal memory.

I tried to download an app from the market and got an error message "process com.android.vending has stopped unexpectedly". Can anyone help me please and answer my queries? Thanks.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] xnomox:
To check if you have succeeded, go to market then download and install Titanium Backup. After installation, open the app then make sure to select "Allow" when asked about superuser permission. If app2sd is successfully installed, you should see the remaining free space for Intenal, SD Card and SD Card(app2sd). Note the remaining free space for each then install an app from market with size of 2MB or more. After installation, check Titanium Backup again and app2sd remaining free space should be lower now. Note that Internal storage will still use some space after app installation if you are just using app2sd and not with dc2sd, but the remaining space will be substantially lower than when you are not using app2sd. Another way to check if you have app2sd is by opening /system/sd/app/ and you should see your installed apps there.

If you get a message "process com.android.vending has stopped unexpectedly" after installing an app, just uninstall that app and reinstall it again from Market as what is stated on the original post:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lawgone:
Thanks for the reply dude. I think I have successfully installed app2sd, i can see it in titanium backup.

However... i accessed the /system/sd/app/ and installed the com.android.vending, installed it successfully and replaced the old app.. but i'm still getting the same "force close" error message. what will i do to fix this?

EDIT: did reboot, and boom! it's now working. thanks everyone.

i'm stuck at the sony ericsson screen i've rebooted a couple of times but still the same :confused:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pratyush_gamer:
to which u got problem,with xRecovery or with App2SD!!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] antyohos:
after installing app2sd i rebooted then i got stuck at the sony ericsson screen, but i have no problems accessing xrecovery
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pratyush_gamer:
Sol.

Dude if you have any problem regarding current App2SD then try these steps as Sequential order as given-:

1.If u already installed sum app in internal memory,then pls do Factory reset,in order to install all apps to SD and to free Interal memory.

2.Backup ur SD card files on system.

3.Delete ur SD partition with the help Mini partition magic(If u have)

4.create SD partition in 2.

5.first partition must b of FAT32(primary not logical),for keeping of ur files(Music,Wall,Videos)pls make the size as per ur need.

6.Second partition is ext3 partition which also must b primary (stores installed apps).pls make it larger than 500MB.

7.Reboot phone and make it on xRecovery.

8.Back-up ur phone first.

9.Install app2sd via xRecovery.(install custom zip).

http://www.mediafire.com/?b5jfy3vsowy912f

10.Reboot,it will take time to startup.

11.HAPPY INSTALLING!!!:

*if u wanna know that how much u used,then install Drive Watch app from market!*

Can PM me if you need more help :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dazzle999:

I've installed APP2SD + DC2SD two nights ago, at first only the Market App encountered the problem so I re-installed. Now I've noticed that my "App Installer" is also not working, says "can't detect files" or something like that. Of course, I can used other app to install apks but how will I fix this pre-installed app?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] xnomox:
The problem is probably in your sdcard. When you boot your phone after installing app2sd, it will transfer your current apps from phone storage to sdcard ext3 partition and it will also re-write your dalvik-cache. If it is having a problem writing in your sdcard it will probably take long to boot or not at all. Your backup from sdcard is probably corrupted too. Try using a different sdcard with speed higher than class 2 or just try it again with clean install of your phone if you don't have extra sdcard

Download this copy of x10 mini system apps and look for genericappinstaller.apk(i'm not sure if this is what you're looking for) and copy it to your /system/app/
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] farsight73:
Hi all,

Phone: x10 mini pro U20i

I'd already running root - Xrecovery - App2Sd and they all run flawlessly.

Now I'm thinking of installing app2sd.dc2sd.ext4 via xrecovery method.

Note 1:

Made backup via xrecovery for internal system wide

Note 2:

SDcard partition ext3 for app2sd

Q1). Can I just install it on top of current running App2sd?

Q2). If anyting goes wrong like freezed or boot looping. I can still restore via xrecovery and everything back to normal where root - Xrecovery - App2SD worked as usual??
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] xnomox:
A1). I'm not sure if you could, but I suggest installing app2sd.dc2sd in a state where you have no app2sd installed. You can still try if you want. Besides, you have xrecovery backup anyway.

A2). As long as you have a tested working backup, xRecovery can restore it. Just do a factory reset(clean wipe) first before restoring your backup just to make sure everything will be fine afterwards.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kiwiBratwurst:
just in case no one has seen this.. Its a much easier (fail safe) way to free up memory and you can choose what apps you want on SD and what you want on internal :D

Possibly the closest thing we will get to the Native 2.2 install apps to SD option.

Apps2SD is sooooo last year Link2SD is all the rage ;)

i have 2.1.1.A.0.6 Build..I installed Add2sd and the delvic cache on it, at first everything looked fine but later the phone got really slow and started hanging and i had to hardwire reboot the phone again and again.. last night it went into an eternal loop and i had to wait for the battery to drain so that i can use pc companion to install it all over again.

Now just installed app2sd without moving the cache and its working so far so good...Has any one also faced the same problem..And if i decide to move my delvic cache too..how to do it?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] donetus:
i've used app2sd / dc2sd and here's what happened:

3rd try with the new build, no problem ... yet.

I'm pretty much sure that I have installed the app2sd.dc2sd.ext4 file successfully, but why is it everytime I install an application, the free space on my internal memory goes down? same goes to the the ext partition..

Pissed off about the 2.2 delays? Yeah me too.

DK28 not stable enough for you? Yeah me too.

Have had it with neither firm taking responsibility or communicating the status of the project? Yeah me too.

Take action:

Comment on: https://www.facebook.com/sprint and tell their social marketing team that you want an answer, an eta, a statement of responsibility. Hit them up at http://twitter.com/sprint too.

Or even: http://investors.sprint.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=127149&p=irol-contact

Do the same for https://www.facebook.com/SamsungMobile

Both firms are more likely to see your voice and respond to it then they would trolling the xda forums.

Hey guys, this is my first post and I'm a long time reader, so bear with me :). Anyways, I toyally agree with you except, I just got off of the phone with samsung and according to the lady 2.2.1 was already released to sprint on the 17th of december. So if she is correct, it would be way more effective to call sprint instead because they are the ones with the ball in their court now (IMO). Yeah, samsung took long, but I think we must now pressure the carriers bcause it WAS already released to them (idk about AT&T) and that's maybe why the galaxy s phones were listed as 2.2 on Sammy's website. The sounded like she thought we had it by now, but maybe she's just... DUMB? Again I may be totally wrong about all of this sooo.... that's just my current thoughts on the update drama.

*edit: but hey, I guess it wouldn't hurt to talk to samsung while you're at it xD

[Epic 4G General] eddieyee:
Personally I think they should have froyo out a long time ago, HOWEVER if it's unstable, why release it? DK28 is close to stable but not for prime time. I'm running it and need to restart the phone about once or twice a day.

I suspect it was a management decision to not release it because if there are big issues and they release it around xmas time, who is going to be around to fix it or support all the end users complaining? Most of the people take vacations around mid December until January for holidays... Most likely they have short staff.

I think we'll see something in January when they have developers ironing out the last bugs and have a full support team. Maybe for CES?? :)

On another note, I think they "leaked" 2.2.1 out for a reason.. let's beta test on the hard core folks... Lots of people complained about GPS and some other issues, so best to fix it first from their perspective. These leaks happen to go to typically more advanced users that can figure out how to revert back to stock without needing to call support...

Was reading around the pages and you guys are doing it wrong...

If your posting on a Sprint page, blame sprint, no matter what others say blame sprint and give evidence that its sprint..(if people blame samsung prove that is sprints fault)

(for those wondering international sgs did get froyo updates..it is official..not a rumor...the ones in canada were taken down but they were reinstated a week later and everything works)

If your on Samsung's page blame samsung and if people blame carriers prove that its samsungs fault...

This may sound contradicting but if your posting about how samsung sucks on a Sprint site..sprint does not need to defend samsung..they can let them take the blame..

same way the other way..
