Hi there.
I´ve searched this forum, but I didn't find a reasonable answer, which I fully understood.
I flashed Megatron a couple of weeks ago, with some enhancements, I did the regular survey, everythings working fine, except of A2SD or the SD card partition.
I've got low memory message all the time, and only when a few programs installed and most of them moved to sd card(if possible), I can't install more... It's really anoying.
Is the partition really working? And how can I find out?
Do you guys have any idea what could be my problem and how to fix that?
Thank you
instal void echo rom , its way better than megatron and no probs
You mean you recently installed it and all of a sudden you get a memory low error? Maybe the a2sd scripts failed to move /data/app to the sdcard. Just a hunch.
I mean maybe the a2sd card didnt function from the beginning... But I mentioned it after I installed applications.
And what happen with the a2sd when I unmount an SD card, or when I boot with a SD card mount problem(It happedn, I had to put it out and back on)?
Can I partiton that again without flashing a new rom? I tried that, using custom recovery, so I made a backup, then I wiped the ext memory, made a partition of: swap 0, ext 1024 and then I upgraded to ex3 and ext4... But when I booted up, there is the same internal memory, but less space on SD card.. So the partition is there, but mind not mounted....

Hi!
After installing and playing around with some Roms, I found out, that
the internal memory is full.
I have found several informations about handling the internal memory thing - but I don't know which one is the right answer for Legend.
I used app2sd to install/move all apps to SD Card, but the internal memory still gets full.
Then I found a post in which one says that it's needed to make a ext partition on the SD Card to make it work right.
Can anybody tell me, what is the best way of getting more internal space?
I use the [ROM][RC3][24.07.2011] Gingerbread 2.3.3 with HTC Sense 2.1 - which works perfect - only the memory is strange.
I also made WIPE and Factory Reset before flashing this Rom.
Thank you!

best you can use apps2ext by darktremor, i have also used it on this rom and it works
some quick instructions;
-backup your sd card manually in windows/mac/linux, because making an ext partition on your sd card will delete all your files on sd card
-use clockworkmod 3 to partition your sd card, you can chose different sizes (i use 250mb and its enough) and you need only an ext partition ,cwm3 can be found here
-restore your files back on the sd card (previously backuped)
-flash darktremor (link above)
-restart phone
that sould be it
Thank you, workes fine. Should I IDE LOW Memory option?

I have flashed DarkTremor. But how exactly do I know if it is working? I converted my SD Card from ext2 to ext3 and I still can't move applications over. My internal storage space is still less than 20MB. Can anybody offer any assistance please?
Thanks

theres an app on the market which controles darktremor's script, just search for "darktremor" on the market its free, and see what is using your internal memory and if darktremor is even working
remember, your cache is still on internal memory and your text messages etc are to
Blayo's kernel has data 2 ext support so you can run a ext partion as your internal memory. I would suggest a class 10 for it though

out of my experience and the words of TheGrammarFreak (who made the data2ext script for cyanogenmod), data2ext is faster in benchmarks but slow in real use
and a class 4 sd is the best (words of TheGrammarFreak)
so out of my experience don't use data2ext but use apps2ext
Recently (a few hours ago) I bought a new SD memory card to upgrade. Since I used Adfad's N2 Cyanogen mod, I partitioned my old SD card (2GB), and created 512MB ext3 partition to expand my phones storage. Also I use s2e for App2sd. I backed everything up in clockwork recovery (5.0.2.0), i turned the phone down, took out old card, and inserted a new one (8GB). Booted into recovery and partitioned SD card, but this time I created an 1GB ext3 partition. Turned the phone off, copied data from old card to new one, on laptop, via card reader. Returned it to phone, booted into recovery, restored backups, successfully, and booted the phone. Phone now recognizes new card, but can't mount sd-ext partition. I can't access to most of my apps, I presume that those are the ones which were on sd-ext partition, like market, superuser and many others. Installed the s2e, but it doesn't recognize sd-ext partition. Is there any way to fix this? I'm clueless . I tried the old card, everything works. Any type of help will be appreciated. Is there any way to transfer data from one card to another via PC? Including ext3 and linux-swap partitons?
Since there were no answer, I did a clean reinstall and backup with titanium. It looks like there is on easier way to switch SD cards.
Dear Masters,
Need your help again.
I am using the application LINK2SD for transferring my applications to SD card. But what I see is, there is some memory still used from the phone memory even after moving that application.
So, I want to know what can be the reason for that and is there any way to move that data part to SD card?
Please do guide because as per me this is not making any sense in rooting the device as still my phone memory gets low.
Hope that solution gets resolved as always.

Sadly Link2SD cannot link app data, and so internal memory will still be taken up by this. The only way around it is to install JaggyRom (or else install a custom kernel with ext2/3/4 support and a data2SD script, but JaggyRom would be simpler I think) and use it's app2SD functionality instead of Link2SD.
There are various ways to move app data to SD, but they all seem to require the second partition on your SD card to be an ext partition, rather than a FAT partition, and ext partitions are not supported by the stock kernel. I have yet to come across any app or script which will move app data to a FAT formatted 2nd SD card partition.
Thanks
SifJar,
Thanks for your reply, I have already got JaggyRom in my HTC explorer and also downloaded APP2SD from play store, will this suffice? Or I need to add any Kernel or anything like that?
And what about the partitioning of SD card? can you put some light on that as I am a newbie to Android.
Thanks once again.
Chin2.
If you have JaggyRom, you don't need any app from Play Store. It comes with A2SDGUI preinstalled and has an apps2SD script already configured. All you need to do is create a second partition on your SD card. You need to connect your SD card to a computer (via a card reader, NOT your phone), get a partition manager (e.g. MiniTool Partition Wizard) and shrink your current FAT32 partition. Then make a new partition (not sure which is the best format, I think ext4, but ext2 and ext3 should work too) and make sure you also make this partition primary. (So both partitions will be primary). You'll want to make this partition reasonably large. Mine is about 700MB and I use about 500MB roughly with about 85 apps installed.
Once this is done, put it in your phone and start it. Then use A2SDGUI to move apps to SD card (don't move system apps, I don't think it will allow you to anyway), and I think it should automatically move any new apps you install in the future.

It is normal to have some kilobytes left there.I have a sensation and it always leaves some data on the phone and it isn't a lot.
The stock kernal can support ext2 partition so even without jaggyrom u can do it.

Are you sure? I have never seen that anywhere else, everywhere else says stock kernel only supports FAT32.

Have you made ext-2 partition on your sd card ?
Help!
I moved to GS2 and wanted to use my SD card I used on another phone; it had an ext4 partition and a FAT32 partition.
All went well.
Then I decided to remove the ext4 partition and have the SD fully formatted with FAT32. I tried both Primary and Logical, tried NTFS too and even recreated and ext partition with ClockwordMod, but I end up always the same way, that is if I put the card in the phone and then boot, it freezes, terminate processes and does not see ANY internal or external SD card!!
Please help! How can I get back to a working full FAT32/NTFS card?
Thank you!!!
Dude looks like you have really messed up not only your phone, but also the way you put your problem. How is it possible that you boot up your phone and still you cant see at least your internal SD... Anyhow my suggestions are:-
1. Remove SD card and boot normally without SD card. See if your internal shows up. If YES, format the SD card in PC and put back in cell.
2. If the phone still crashes, you need to clear all caches in Recovery. Do and see what happens. Also tell us if you are rooted? what ROM are you using..
3. Apart from the SD, does your phone work normal?
Bro, your query is kinda too complex and one of the noobiest one i have come upon in a long time.
Sorry for not having said before: without the SD the phone boots normally. AND however I format the SD card, is it always readable in Windows 7.
About your question "How is it possible that you boot up your phone and still you cant see at least your internal SD", it is what I'm wandering too... It looks like the "badly" formatted SD messes the partition logic in Android.
Now I'm trying this: deleted all partitions, created a new unformatted one trying to format within phone.
Thanks for help and patience!
Yes! It worked!! The phone saw the unformatted card and prompted for action; I made it format and now it's back
Hello all..
My question is about the SD card you keep on your phone to save apps and run them from it, in order to free internal storage. My question is because I tried to install apps on the sd card, but they kept crashing upon start, while other people says they work normally running from sd cards. But when i installed the apps on internal memory, they did work just fine. I'm wondering if this is because the the file system of this type of setup should be other than fat32??
Also, Androidwise, is there a use for ext4 format other than recovery and stuff like that? like a daily android use?
I just moved to Android less than a week ago. my phone runs kitkat, and it's rooted..
Thanks in advance.
