Do you have the dalvik cache moved to the ext or is it on internal memory? If its still stored on the phone then that's probably what's taking up your memory.

Busted out an old N1, installed this app and am getting the script not found error.

I looked at the source code on Git and I can't even find where the is for that error message. Is the Market version newer than the source?
[Android Apps and Games] Aphelion:
Thanks for a great app (S2E)

I've also got a question I can't find the answer to here yet. I moved App Data to SD card and want to move it back but that button is greyed out. can you tell me how to do it, if its possible?
[Android Apps and Games] momomok:
That should imply that the total size of your Apps Data is larger than the size limit of your /DATA partition.

As far as I know, there is no way out . But you may try to clear data of some apps, let the size shrink. Then try moving to internal again
[Android Apps and Games] The-Kenny:
Looks the same for me on Desire. No error, though. All apps are gone, but /sd_ext gets mounted correctly. Looks like symlinks aren't set correctly.

Can't even install a new version as market is gone too.
[Android Apps and Games] The-Kenny:
Small correction: Everything is there, except for the config. Running the script gives me:

# sh simple2ext

S2E: Initialization...

S2E: Config not found... Exit!

Sadly, /sd-ext/data/ru.krikun.s2e/shared_prefs/ru.krikun.s2e_preferences.xml is missing too. As is the apk of simple2ext.

I can't reinstall as Market.app is gone too. Can someone please send me a current .apk of s2ext?

[Android Apps and Games] The-Kenny:
Worked! Everything's fine again :)
[Android Apps and Games] Aphelion:
Worked for me too. After using rom manager to fix permissions and deleting some apps.

I'm not gonna move app data again though. It totally impaired performance of all apps.
[Android Apps and Games] SMRT:
...

Did enyone else encounter this?

I wiped my phone (crt effect wasn't working) and after reinstalling S2E, it doesn't see my EXT4 partition. I can see it in Root manager, and I can mount it, and write on it. Did I miss something? Help pls!
[Android Apps and Games] momomok:
which recovery image are you using?
[Android Apps and Games] SMRT:
I used Amon Ra because of the EXT4 conversion script, but it seems that it only broke my ext partition. Even DarkTremor's a2sd script fails to find the sd-ext (out of memory error). I promptly reinstalled CWM.

Now I've reformated the SD card using the GPardted live disk inside VMWare, and still, s2e can't see it.

Trying again with EXT2... and fail.

edit: I found it! It was an experimental kernel that made this. Sorry for being a noob!
[Android Apps and Games] momomok:
Glad to hear that you have found the solution :)

One of the flaws of N1 is that it has way TOO FEW internal storage... :(

[Android Apps and Games] browngeek:
many thanks

Many thanks for this app.

Did make a school boy error at first attempt. Partitioned the SD card, but totally forgot that it would wipe the entire SD card.

Now just trying to figure out how to change Ext3 to Ext4.
[Android Apps and Games] momomok:
I upgraded mine from ext3 to ext4 using Gparted :)
[Android Apps and Games] browngeek:
OK, cool, will give that a try. I presume my partition will get deleted in the process?
[Android Apps and Games] momomok:
Yeah.

I "upgraded" mine... by deleting the ext3 partition and creating an ext4 one

I didn't care about that though, as I had already screwed up the sd-ext partition at that time :D
[Android Apps and Games] ChargingPaladin:
I thought I saw someone in here talking about this already but I read back through and can't find anything. My apologies if I missed it.

S2E set to have dalvik on sd-ext.

In CWM Recovery (2.1.3.4? (whichever is flashed with the original Aria root, not 2.5.0.7 through ROM Manager) selecting Wipe Dalvik Cache print's nothing to the UI but also appears to not clear the dalvik cache (files still present when adb shell ls /sd-ext/dalvik-cache/). This is the same whether or not sd-ext is mounted when selecting Wipe Dalvik Cache. I'm assuming that it looks for the /data/dalvik-cache directory as opposed to the /sd-ext/dalvik-cache directory that S2E uses.

Is this correct/expected or am I doing something wrong? I don't mind flashing yet another .zip to delete all files in /sd-ext/dalvik-cache whenever I flash a ROM, I just want to make sure that it's necessary or that there's not a better way to do it.

Thanks!

This has been the case for me regardless of ROM but currently I'm on: Aria CM7 N98, DC Kernel 8-5
[Android Apps and Games] yakari35:
Rollback possible ?

Hello, I installed s2e and checked dalvik and download cache, but when I reboot CM7 is reset to factory settings and no mountpoint for data... So I can't redownload the app, since I have no data partition ! :confused:

How can I undo s2e changes from command line ? What file do I have to edit or delete ?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] momomok:
I have a similar experience. That was when i update my nightly.

Almost all apps were lost, except for a few.

Rebooted. Then all apps are back. You may want to try that first :)
[Android Apps and Games] TiwitAnoid:
fantastic app mate, works great....many thanks for the great work mate...
[Android Apps and Games] sushiboy:
which nightly build are you using? I install CM7 N#101, S2E looks ok. It can see my ext3 about 512mb. However, I got reboot every time I try to install an app. I only set to move app (the first one) in S2E setting.
[Android Apps and Games] yakari35:
Thanks, but it didn't work :( ... And everytime I restart, all parameters are gone! I have no data partition, so it's probably a mount problem.
[Android Apps and Games] yakari35:
It appeared that the /data partition was corrupted... And e2fsck didn't help here... I assume something went wrong with the conversion process in S2E, even though I didn't tick data in the app... Going back to factory reset :mad: !
[Android Apps and Games] yakari35:
I wiped everything, reinstalled CM7 Nightly 27 for SGS, then just installed S2E and checked only download to SD, rebooted and it corrupted again my /data partition! I can't logcat since I'm at work, but I guess S2E doesn't like data parts that are on an internal flash mem like on the SGS!
[Android Apps and Games] zipredictive:
Hi everyone, I really love this utility my N1 is plenty of many apps and my phone has 148mb. I am on cyanogenmod 7.0.3 with 1gb ext4.

I'd like to flash latest nightly build... what do I have to do?

just flash the nightly? And then?

My apps will stay in ext4?

Will I loose anything?

Tips?

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] Ertavarez:
Why When i Move DATA To SD/EXT, when trying to open a App does not respond so fast? rather get a black screen and then opens.

Sorry For my Bad English..
[Android Apps and Games] zipredictive:
@emmanuel

Maybe it depends on your micro sd class...
[Android Apps and Games] momomok:
I guess you should do a nandroid and make sure sd-ext is backed up as well.

Flashing nightly is equivalent to upgrading to 2.3.4, so better be safe :)

Just flash the nightly will be okay. No need to reinstall S2E. It should be fine.
[Android Apps and Games] momomok:
Flash memory based storage devices, like SD and micro-SD card, are not good at handling random and small files read/write.

And thus, they are not suitable for app data. Higher class card may help, but it is their unique nature... we cannot do much to change this
[Android Apps and Games] starbase64:
Hi,

after using quick boot, sd-ext is removed from system.

A full data wipe brings sd-ext back, but what is the problem with quick boot?

currently im still on Froyo, with 1gb ext4 for apps & cache...

i plan to flash CM7 with s2e, my question:

is that possible for me to backup my current apps using titanium backup and restore it if i use s2e??

(i have many many apps in my ext, install one by one-by-one will take forever...)
[Android Apps and Games] neils31:

Cyanogenmod nightly update

Hi

Another dumb question, how do you update nightlies using this?

I.e. I tried updating to the latest nightly how I would normally do (by wiping the cache), but after update none of my apps were there and it reverted by the ADW (I use launcher pro). I then tried reinstalling S2E and rebooting a few times, but to no avail.

I had done an nandroid, so I also tried updating without wiping anything, but still the same issues.
[Android Apps and Games] momomok:
Is Davik Cache still in your phone memory?
[Android Apps and Games] momomok:
Which recovery are you using?

If using CWM 3.x, try downgrading to 2.5.14

3.x is known to be corrupting SD-ext partition

btw, you don't really need to wipe cache when upgrading ;)
[Android Apps and Games] browngeek:
Thanks. Using 2.5.14.
[Android Apps and Games] neils31:
it's ticked to be on sd-ext.
[Android Apps and Games] momomok:
How about the app data?
[Android Apps and Games] momomok:
Hmmm, I remember my N1 "lost" all the apps after upgrading.

Rebooting it once brings all apps back. You may want to try it. :p
[Android Apps and Games] neils31:
The app data is unticked and 'greyed' out, I cannot select it
[Android Apps and Games] momomok:
If you are desperately looking for more phone storage, enable Advanced Mode in S2E, then move the app data to SD-ext. This should save you quite a large amount of space.

Keep in mind that, not every Micro-SD card is capable of holding app data, some of them just have too slow random read/write performance.

My experience after moving app data to SD-ext:

Startup takes longer, and certain apps responds much slowly... even worse is that sometimes the Google Service Framework kept FC until I reboot.
[Android Apps and Games] neils31:
Ok I think I will leave as is for now. Thanks for your help :)
[Android Apps and Games] browngeek:
Thanks again. I actually tried rebooting a couple of times but problem not solved.
[Android Apps and Games] djmurphix:
Hey developer..I can't seem to get this working on my cm4morrison rom it just closes the app when I try and launch it after a couple tries of trying to open I will get in but cannot check any settings. They told me it wasn't the rom that its the app..I really do use this app as it is by far the easiest n less pita than doing it the native way which I'm stuck with atm until this issue gets a fix.. thanks for listening hope an update will be quick. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] kevinbear:
Actually, I'm pretty sure you have this backwards. Solid state drives are inherently good at handling random reads/writes. Though it is true that most are a bit slower than HDD at small writes (reads are often faster though).

As for the difference between the flash memory in your phone versus removable flash cards: mostly different types of memory suited for different uses. But if you get a fast enough (higher class) card, it can handle the usage just fine (and in some cases can actually be faster). Biggest issue with using removable memory cards for app usage is that most of your less expensive cards are not designed for higher frequency read/writes. They simply can't handle the extra usage and wear out.
[Android Apps and Games] momomok:
Class is for reference ONLY. NEVER rely on them...

For now, I only have 2 cards. One Class 10 Card, and the other a Class 2 card coming with my N1.

I have tested it using CrystalDiskMark, running with network and A/V off, on a USB2.0 High Speed card reader.

RESULT

Class 10 Card:

View attachment 631001

Class 2 Card:

View attachment 631002

See how they perform so slowly? Esp. 4K writing.

SSDs are now BETTER at handling random read/write, but it is not due to the improvement in the flash chip, it is due to improvement of the controller.

Back to memory card, most people consider CAPACITY to be much more significant than SPEED. So how can you expect the manufacturers to invest a vast amount of money to improve the speed of them (like, adding some powerful controller chip)?

There is some "super card" available with a superior and guaranteed speed, but that just isn't cheap at all. So I think using app-data on SD is not really a good idea

Just my 2 cents :p
[Android Apps and Games] Tiou62:
Don't forget that internal memory of smartphones is also flash memory. ;)

Ok so i decided to wipe everything and start again, which has now given me a new problem.

first the other problem maybe I enabled a 32mb swap file on my phone and I think 0 on her phone.

the problem I have now is when I goto format a partition using rom manager it reboots and I get the following error :-

Clockwordmod recovery v2.5.0.7

finding update package...

opening update package...

verifying update package ...

E:failed to seek in /cache/update.zip (invalid argument)

E:signature verification failed.

installation aborted.

This error (or similar) I have had a few times when trying to flash and I have had to do it manually.

the phone has to be rebooted manually and as far as I can tell no formatting has been carried out

any help appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] neils31:
Well I don't know exactly how I did it but after fresh install and installing most of my apps I have 122MB free :)

Happy days
[Android Apps and Games] axbilly:
I'm trying to understand how this works.

I've checked for app and app data. And I have more space.

But the strange thing is, /sd-ext/app/ and /data/app/ have the same apk. Is it duplicate?

Because i thought i'm suppose to see the symlink from /data/app to /sd-ext/app. But the symlink is not there.

EDIT: Got it. /data/app is mounted on /sd-ext. :)
[Android Apps and Games] lhinsz:
Caution with a full wipe....

At least for me, YES...

While the script is not affected by Dalvik cache wipe even when moved, all of my S2E files are at /data/local/...

I have data/local/(hereafter ...) /bin, .../download, .../s2e_config, .../tmp, and .../userinit.d at that location anyhow.

I have updated nightlies without any trouble for weeks now.... (Except... the ONE time I did a full wipe because of an SD corrupted file problem, I lost all my S2E and other programs too...) Also, for me, CWM 2.5.0.7 does not backup my SD-EXT with the Ext4, no journaling option. I use either yaffs explorer or Ubuntu to back it up entirely. Titianium also works well, but is slower...

Use caution :eek: with a full wipe; Hope this helps...
[Android Apps and Games] te_quiero_forever_girl:
Might b a dumb question but i have to ask. I installed s2e (simple2ext) from the market and enabled it. Should i set install location to internal, external or automatic ? And about application moving. When i press move to sd card in app management, will it move the apps with froyo method or the s2e method (to ext partition)? Thax in advance guys. I have cm7 nightly running on the nexus one anw
[Android Apps and Games] momomok:
Set it to internal.

And there is no need to use the Move To SD button anymore.

If you press that button, it will move the app in froyo's way, that's moving part of the app to .android_secure folder on your SD.

does it work for android 2.3.4? idk if it really does cause recently i flashed a new nightly rom that is 2.3.4 for my device and reopened S2E only to see it say 'script not installed', but when i check my space for /data/app, it still appears as if my apps are installed to the EXT partition

hmm, weird. upon flashing a new nightly rom, i re-imported the script from inside the settings, went into recovery to reflash that same nightly and then when i open it, sometimes itd say 'script not installed'. so, what i do is 'forget' the superuser root acception and re-accept. so eventually it works, BUT gets a little glitchy. each time i hit refresh, either the space remaining shows up for data then doesnt show, and then EXT shows and doesnt, and then neither shows up. something isnt right
[Android Apps and Games] nuumuun:
hey oleg!

thanks a lot for this app. have been using it for a while with no problems :cool:

i have a request tho ... could you add an option to choose the root of the sd-ext partition?

i would like to use a non-cm7 rom and all that is keeping me from it is the fact that s2e is hard coded to use /sd-ext as the mounting point for the ext-partition.

i would like to use /system/sd-ext as the mounting point. or any other path specified in the options.

thanks for reading :D

Will Simple2SD work in conjuction with Link2SD?

I am using a Desire running CM7.03 and have discovered that downloaded files from the market are not being cleared from data/local/downloads, on the CM issues page somebody stated that they cured the problem by linking the cache to the sd-ext.

I used Link2SD to link apps etc to the sd-ext and was wondering if there was likely to be any conflict if I were to install Simple2SD to move the cache to the sd-ext. Anyone any ideas?

Thanks

Back up your ext to your computer then restore it after complete wipe.

Using an ext partition makes switching ROM's a little more complicated, but it's worth it.

Anyway, this is a great script. Apps2sd was making my phone hotboot every time I tried to install an app, even after complete wipe. This made everything work flawlessly. Thanks.
