Let me try to explain how this script works and what the difference between this one and others.

Most of the scripts force your device to install apps to sd-ext position by making link (virtual folder which points to sd-ext). This script binding actual folders to your ext position without making any links.

The best way to check if you succeeded with the script is:

1. You have to tell cyanogenmod to install apps to internal memory.

2. Install the app, the script.

3. Reboot...it might take longer than usual first time.

4. Open terminal emulator (it comes with cyanogenmod) and write(new line us enter):

su

df

You should see lots of lines, some of them will be mmcblk0p4 mcblk0p2 etc

This lines is your sd card and the number after p is partition number

you will see one of them mmcblk0p3 assigned to /data/app, /cache/download and other folders.

also you will see free space and taken space on this cards.

Hope this will help.

Important! Do not use any other a2sd scripts and make sure cyanogenmod settings set on internal or not checked at all

ok i dont understand what i am doing wrong. i installed the app installed script check my boxes reboot. then checked to see if it says apps moved like the screen shot shows. so i check and its still showing check boxes like it has never moved and there is nothing on my sd ext. please someone help i miss cyanogen but i need my a2sd.
[Android Apps and Games] krypticos:
so i still dont know exactly how this would happen. but i tried dt again and saw it said ext was read only so i reformatted it and it worked like a charm so if your phone was acting like mine try reformatting your sd card.

Question: how can a partition go from read/write to read only?
[Android Apps and Games] Medea:
Just dit it on HTC Desire and Tattoo !! Work like a charm :)

Just loosed 2 apps, re installed them and all is fine

Thanks for this great app
[Android Apps and Games] premler:
Used this and it worked well. Untill i removed the app. Bad choise. Now all my apps on the SD-card is unreachable. So can someone upload the apk so i can install it again and get my apps back withour wipe and reflash? :(

Yup give me a few minutes I will upload it to my dropbox, as I am a new user I will have to PM you the address
[Android Apps and Games] latino147:
I did this:

1 create an 1GB ext2/3 partition on my SD

2 in CM settings setup install to internal mem

3 run your app

4 reboot

Startup took a really long time, everything feels a bit slow now, especially LauncherPro. Would that be a normal side-effect?

After a reboot it looks like apps won't start, widgets don't show correctly.

After about 2 minutes the widgets work again. Is this something 'normal' that I'' have to accept from now on when rebooting?

Even More Questions:

- from now on all apps will be installed on your SD without having to move them one by one manually?

- is Launcher Pro also moved to the SD? And will this mean a performance penalty (I get a few freezes and FC's from LP!)

- The DF command showed 8228 used on my ext-SD, so I guess that's 8 MB?

- what will happen when I perform a factory reset and google installs all apps back again? Will it automatically install to the ext partition or do we need to run your app again?

- How do you back up your ext to your Windows computer to restore it after complete wipe?

Thanks for your app!
[Android Apps and Games] lasombra79:
I read the whole thread tried all things I've found within this thread but apps don't seem to go to ext.

Currently I have 0MB free in internal memory and all app installation fail. I've wiped all incl. cache, flashed CM7, then gapps, then I've downloaded the s2e script, checked "Applications" and "Private Apps" and rebooted.

After reboot I go to terminal and enter

su

cd sd-ext

ls

this shows "app" and "app-private". Both folders contain apk files.

df shows (among of other entries)

/dev/block/mmcblk02p2 1377078 194059 1109602 15% /sd-ext

/dev/block/mmcblk02p2 1377078 194059 1109602 15% /data/app

Why the hell I have no memory free, I supposed all go to the ext partition (ext3)

Hi

Just installed it on HTC Desire with CM7 RC1. Moved everything to ext3 and it went all smooth :) Just one problem now. My market keeps crashing. Whether I update an app using Appbrain, or directly from the Market, or install a new app, it just goes FC whenever I start a download. And the file doesn't download either. Any solution for this?
[Android Apps and Games] OlegKrikun:
disable moving to sd-ext for download cache and test again!

[Android Apps and Games] Lint6:
if I flash a new nightly, I assume I just have to redownload the app to see all the ones no my ext partition..?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Lint6,

I would assume so. Flashing a new nightly only affects data on splash1, splash2, boot, and system. I'm not sure if S2E directly changes /system files, but it may. Regardless, the apps located on your sd-ext partition aren't deleted.

While I haven't tried it myself, logic would dictate that a re-install of S2E would work just fine, altho you may have to check the Applications box again, reboot, and then the ones on your sd-ext will probably show up. This is so the script he always refers to can be installed, OS rebooted, and then given time to scan sd-ext for existing apps.

Perhaps another user or dev can confirm?
[Android Apps and Games] Lint6:
Well yes, I assumed reinstalling s2e and setting it up and rebooting. and I hope the splashes don't reset...I got some splashes o my phone I like..
[Android Apps and Games] BashyUK:
Hi,

How do I uninstall S2E? I have used the CM7 HBOOT now so don't need this option..

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] :
At this time it doesn't appear that you are able to uninstall S2E automatically.

You can always navigate to /sd-ext/app and relocate the apk files, but im not sure what uninstalling S2E.apk would do.

Best bet is to wait until the author integrates reverse functionality.

[Android Apps and Games] FredMan:
Tried this on my Droid Incredible with cm7 #11.

1st tried installing onto of my current ROM and after rebooting it hung on the cm7 loading screen. The buttons would light up, screen off animation works and hitting the power button woke it up. I let it sit for awhile and nothing happend.

Next I tried a clean wipe from recovery. downloaded the script from market rebooted and loaded right up. installed Titanium backup and tried to restore apps. Phone keeps hotbooting. Tried to fix permissions then Rom Manager and all GApps are gone along with Titanium.

Good thing I had a Nandroid backup.

I love the idea but cant seem to get it to work.
[Android Apps and Games] :
I experienced something similar. Try moving only the apps and private apps first, leaving dalvik and cache-download unchecked. Reboot, and if that works, then try dalvik, reboot and if that works, then try cache-download. Do a nandroid after each one if you want.

I installed the application from the market and it asked for su rights after opening it and i granted it . I kept the download location as internal and after installing a new app , the folder is still empty :(
[Android Apps and Games] kingofthehill3:
First of all... thx for the app. Nice work :-)

After installing S2E I moved all my apps from sd to internal (with internal = ext3 partition on sd-card). So I diasabled the froyo A2SD mechanism in favour of the S2E style.

On thing I noticed was, that the free internal memory was still reduced with each app that I moved. Since this was unexpected for me, I started to investigate this and it seems that the /data/data directory is the reason for that behaviour.

So this brings me to the following 2 questions:

1. What's the purpose of /data/data? Am I correct in assuming that each app can store data in a database which is stored in this directory?

2. Is it possible to move /data/data to sd-ext? If so, it would be nice to include it in S2E.
[Android Apps and Games] Omnichron:
Thanks dude!:)
[Android Apps and Games] MeirleanShawk:
So far everything seems perfect after running S2E. :)

Did have an issue with apps not installing properly on market, but cleared the market cache, tried again and all is good.

After battling for 4 days now with various methods to get apps to the Ext partition in CM7, I am now a happy man.

[Android Apps and Games] patlabor:
I have a huge problem with the prog. how do i use it exactly?

i was running cm7rc1 with s2e for quite some time now without any problems.

today i gave rc2 a try, downloaded the rom, made a nandroid backup of the rc1 and then flashed the rom.

after the flash was done, i was welcomed by the android asking me to set up my phone and asking for my google credidentials. since i was on the road and i am using google 2 step verification i was unable to log on. so i decidet to just restore the nandroid backup and flash it when i am at home again. but also with the recent backup all my data was gone and the phone kept asking me for my google credidentials.

now i am home, i set up a new password for my phone, run tru the whole setup process and installed s2e hoping that would get me back all my installed programms and data. but nothing.

seems like i now have a new version of s2e installed (the screen looks slightly different and does not say "script installed" anymore but is quoting the free space. but also the sd-ext is not displayed.

how do i get all my stuff back now?

right now it looks like all s2e does for me is rendering nandroid backups useless.
[Android Apps and Games] :
What recovery are you using? Did you ensure that the nandroid backup would also backup the sd-ext volume?
[Android Apps and Games] rcbmulder:
widgets with S2E disappearing

Hi, S2e is working as in apps are being installed on the SD card. I am however getting 'problem loading widgets' after a reboot. Sometimes not all the icons appear on the homescreens, then I can do a reboot and they do.

Looking at the other threads people say move widget apps to internal memory, but then that defeats the object of using S2E.

I can also, sometimes do a reboot and its fine, then power off back on a day later and bang.. all widgets gone again..

any suggestions please?
[Android Apps and Games] kareem613:
I'm having the same problem. I used clockworkmod recovery. Sdext got backed up.

I accidently wiped data when flashing rc2, so I restored my backup. It came back with no sdext showing and all apps from there missing.

I can't get s2e to work now. It doesn't see the sdext partition. Neither does titanium backup.
[Android Apps and Games] tommyguns818:
nice work on this app. working great with my htc aria cm7 rc2. now i have lots of room on internal mem. if were i were to flash a new nightly, would i just still wipe cache and dalvik then flash nightly like i normally do? anything different i have to do with your app?
[Android Apps and Games] neoazrael:
as i promised i adore youuuuuuuuuuu buddy bcs everything works perfectly i tried it with different roms and versions the result is perfect,congrats for that great work...
[Android Apps and Games] rcbmulder:
seemed to have managed the problem by leaving Dalvik cache on internal memory and only ticking 'apps' to external.. not ideal because it's the Dalvik cache is 80megs or so and eating into internal memory, but Ive enough apps on and the widgets are fine after reboots now and phone is quick. though id post this in case others are having same issue..

this worked for me on HTC Desire CM7 RC2 and i barely know what i'm doing!

i didn't actually KNOW how to name the partition ext3, i just used the ROM Manager to partition, selected 'internal' storage for apps, and then installed S2E...i selected each option individually and rebooted after each one...market and everything else working perfectly so far...i uninstalled my standard App2SD

QUESTIONS:

1. is that it now? i just leave it as 'internal' storage and install away?

2. will nand backup and titanium backups work as expected?

3. i can't actually see the partition or what is on it, am i supposed to?

4. how do i restore in future?

Nice work with this great application which helps make the htc desire something it should already have been.

I'm using a nightly build of CM7 on my desire, i think build 12. I've been thinking of upgrading to RC2 because I'm having random reboots etc., but reading some of the reactions I've kept back until someone can say how to perform an upgrade without losing data (that means with the possibility to restore a nandroid backup or any other backup).

Rooting/using custom roms is quite new to me and putting the nightly build went ok, but I just don't want to risk losing everything and wasting too much time again by setting up every single app again.

moved /data/data to the ext partition is not a good idea, because this folder contained some important system program data, and the ext partition mounted too late at init process, therefore the phone going into bootloop. i try this at manually, modify the script, but i going into that problem.

the new leaked kernel conatined proper ext2-3-4 modules and so many others too, so the new CM7 build can will be mount ext3-4 partition as well.

Can you help me ... I did the update RC2 to RC4, everything worked well, I decided to make a back up + ext3 but at reboot it no longer recognizes my widgets, my applications, it no longer saw where are my applications? you have an explanation? S2E don't put my apps in internal memory ?
[Android Apps and Games] jabbado:
I'm also wondering what the correct procedure is to get my apps back after a wipe/rom flash. Is it as simple as re-installing s2e, then restore app data only with Titanium Backup? Or do you have to restore the apps as well?
[Android Apps and Games] bkmo:
You need a backup before a wipe if you want your apps. A wipe is a wipe with or without s2e. You can then install s2e before restoring your apps. They will restore to wherever you have selected in s2e.
[Android Apps and Games] fourire:
But I don't make a wipe, only backup in recovery...after a back up+Ext3, I rebooted and surprise nothing, no more apps and widgets , what's wrong ??
[Android Apps and Games] fourire:
exactly the same problem :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] drumist:
The problem is that you are putting applications on the FAT32 partition. I can definitely see how it would be confusing. The proper way to use S2E is as follows:

1) Go to Settings > CyanogenMod settings > Application > Install location > select INTERNAL

Explanation: If you choose "internal", all applications will be installed to the ext3 partition. If you choose "external", all applications that support being installed to FAT32 will be installed to FAT32, and the rest will be installed to ext3. If you choose "automatic", some apps that support being installed to FAT32 will be installed to FAT32, and the rest will be installed to ext3.

2) Go to Settings > Applications > Manage applications > SD card. Select each application that has a checkmark, and then press "Move to Phone". No applications should have a checkmark when you are done.

Explanation: If an app has a checkmark, it is installed on the FAT32 partition. If it does not have a checkmark, it is installed on the ext3 partition with S2E.

Just to clarify, your apps will not actually indicate that they are stored on the SD card when this is set up correctly. But you can confirm that they actually are by checking how much internal memory is available from Settings > Storage.
[Android Apps and Games] sunster:
Not sure what i am doing wrong but hopefully i can get some help here. I've read the whole thread and others but wanted to check here before trying anything else.

These are the steps i took:

Complete wipe (came from different rom)

Upgraded 1 gb ext2 partition to ext3 with Amonra (in order to use S2E)

Flashed CyanogenMod-7

In Cyanogenmod application settings, changed install location to internal (left allow application moving unchecked, wasn't too sure about this)

Downloaded S2E and it showed free space as (Data: 87, Ext: 849 and Cache: 34)

Put a checkmark on Dalvik cache only and rebooted

S2E showed dalvik moved after reboot

Restored all my apps with Titanium Backup

Got low space warning

S2E now shows free space as (Data: 8, Ext: 781 and Cache: 34)

Titanium Backup also shows only 2 entries:

Internal 154 MB (8.45 MB free)

SD Card: 14.9 GB (9.39 GB free)

Not sure if i just have to check Applications in S2E and that would fix everything (pretty sure this is what i need to do but for some reason i'm thinking it should have been automatically done when i restored my apps)

Any help would be greatly appreciated

UPDATE: Guess i was worried for nothing. I just took the leap and everything seems ok. Got my internal memory back and there are now 3 entries in Titanium Backup.
