Apps2sd on stock-rom (rooted)

Well, i just got my htc tattoo and already did a root. As the device is slightly low on space, i wanted to use apps2sd to install (and move) apps to my 8 gb card. I also found an app "apps2sd pro" and wanten to install it, but it gave me the error "app not installed". I googled a bit and found out, apps2sd is for 2.x version (i have 1.6). Is there any way to use apps2sd on 1.6?
I rooted with ".universal androot" and did yet no reboot.

- Well, just read, to install apps2sd, you need to do a wipe/hard reset and format your sd-card, what's about this? i'm new to this! and as (surprisingly!!) no wiki entry exists for the Tattoo / clic, i'm yet a blt surprised by this community, which yet always helped me.....

there is some sense stock rom available with app2sd use them

just flash an custom rom with android 1.6.
i would recommend "MondoROM | Q v0.1"
its stabel and good.everything should work,cause its donut verion.

Same problem, try to move to sd card, Moving Error, tried with 2 partitions on Floyo, tried in Gingerbread and...Nothing..

try Link2SD
download from android market, u must created second partitions with Fat32 format in Sd card, and need standart ROM 2.1 rooted
just run apps, reboot.. but u must move apps manually by open Link2SD >click >created link

I found app2sd didn't work for me. So I used link2sd in stead. Had to create a partition on SD card first there is a thread that I used to do it. I now have 400mb on the SD card just for apps.
But you need to have full root to do it.

It did'n work for me, too.
But I tried, and figured out how to install it.
First, you need to partition your SD-card. Second, do the method, that they wrote, but when you open the adb shell, first write "su", and accept it on your phone. Then you can begin to run the script. This way, I could install it.
I've tried several times before, without the "su" command in the beginning, it doesn't work without it. Now, I'm happy, because it's working and I have some free space on my device

if ext2 doesn't work, try use ext3 partition for apps2sd
vice versa

Just give it a try again.

Guys be sure you have 2.1.1.A.0.6, otherwise it won't work cous of kernel dependencies.

okay first tell us what ROM are you using, what app2sd type that u try to use (native or with ext partition), and what steps have you took?
ps: if u're using racht's 2.2.1 ROM (that i think you do), app2sd with ext partition works perfect. just use app2sd.sh with moved dalvik-cache that someone posted in development section.

For me a clean installation and following the given steps carefully works. Floyo 0.15 has native app2sd and it works for sure

I use Link2SD. It is a pain in the a$$ when you update or move to SDcard but it works.
Steps to get it work: (For Windows and Noobs users only)
1. Download the Link2SD app from store
2. Download and install this program (it will make the partitions of your card) from here (it's free)
3. Connect your phone as a USB (mount your card)
4. Follow this video (it's not mine), but do not leave space for a "Linux Swap" partition (unless you want it)
5. Reboot your phone.
Tested and it works!
P.S.: I think that even if i had an EXT3 partition the Link2SD worked when i ckecked the EXT2 partition (in it's set up). Can someone confirm that?

so do you have a2sd by Darktremor?

Whenever i try to create an ext2 partition in my sdcard, it is not being mount and i get a warning saying that the card should be formatted. if i give yes, it gets formatted as one single partition of FAT32.. Please help
I used MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition in windows for partitioning

for partitioning use gparted

Before upgraded to gingerbread ROM, it was 2.2.1 where there is a app name "link2sd" free from market, which it mount ext2 partition of sdcard and move per apps apk file to sdcard, of ext2 partition, this is more flexible then Darktremor.
Where with Darktremor, the external sdcard will never able to hot remove from phone and plug it back. Which make external sdcard pointless. remove sdcard card will kill / reboot the phone, given without sdcard, phone can not start up. Also slow performance issues.
Where link2sd allow you select large apk only link to external sdcard, when unplug sdcard the phone still works without reboot / halt.

I found so many noobs here in ace forum and so little developers and I want to help you. I come from optimus one forum and i like to help.
You need a custom recovery to create an ext partition and to make darktremor a2sd to worked. Amonra or clockworkmod recovery is the best. Then create an ext partition whether ext2, 3 or 4 then flash dta2sd from the darktremor a2sd thread here in xda(search it). The latest ver is 2753 beta 04.
Remember, without ext partition the dta2sd will not worked.
To check if your a2sd is working, download terminal emulator, press su then enter then type a2sd check.
Or download titanium backup agd check if it says a2sd space=???
Or the best way to check is by a2sdgui app, it is a official app from the dta2sd itself. If it says apps are on sd, then your a2sd worked. And if you guys still reducing memory even after moving apps to sd via a2sd gui app, its time to put the dalvik cache to your sdcard.
Fuh, thats a lot of writing on my phone. I love to help because i will buy galaxy gio soon.
Or maybe you guys should take a look at optimus one forum and learn how to make a custom kernel and rom there. Theres a very good thread on guiding how to build a custom rom and kerne. Im pretty surprise so many noobs here. Like i said i really like to help to improve this community

well Hybrid Data2SD is still a jargon for me. It has something to do like you can selectively move app data to sd card so something(not quite sure on this).
We partition our sd card so that we have a partition that is dedicated to apps only. Like its a hidden partition that will be used to store you apps on the sd card. Much better than manually moving your apps to sd card. App2SD by kyrillos (its a script, available in different versions. You need to select the version that suits your sd card class and capacity). On using such a script all your apps are moved to the sd card on installation.
By using Titanium backup you can view the free space on the sd-ex partition(the extra partition that you have made). Its best to partition the sd card via the CWM recovery which will come pre-installed on Kyrillos 8.0 or even on G3Mod Kernels.
I have provided a link below that has links to all the firmwares and kernels for our phone. So if you install Kyrillos's ROM and do not happen to like it, then you can select the stock JP2 firmware from the Index forum and flash back using ODIN.

PS.
To flash a ROM you need ODIN and the .ops(Odin partitioning Script) files. Both of them will be available when you download Kyrillos ROM.
-> Open ODIN
-> Select the .ops file
-> Select flash as one package and select the .tar file
-> Connect the phone(You must have the USB drivers for you phone installed. You can install KIES for that)
-> Once connected, ODIN will show the port number and write something as Detected or something like that.
-> flash the firmware now. Pray to GOD.
Back up your IMEI before flashing. Always flash ROMs without bootloaders as they can permanently damage(Hard Brick) you phone.
All the best.

1. No partition isn't necessary. If you are happy with the internal storage that you have on your phone, then you can live without a partition!
2.All the custom ROM's (in this case Kyrillos) are without bootloaders, so they are safe to flash.
3. If you want to revert back to stock ROM, then you can find them (without bootloaders) over here:-

I came to know abt this hybrid data2sd and successfully booted CM7 and Froyo roms using multiboot.
I have written all steps on THIS post!
Hope it helps!!

Hybrid data2sd basically moves apps to your sd card partition. First you have to partition your sd card using minitool partition wizard (google it) or cwm recovery which comes on custom roms. This changes the format of that certain partition of your sd card to ext2/ext3/ext4. I think that makes it faster than fat32 which is the standard format of an sd card. When you have partitioned your sd card and have the hybrid data2sd script on your phone your apps with automatically go onto your sd card because your phone thinks the partition is internal storage so you don't need to move them in the settings (i made that mistake and my phone went crazy slow!). It's basically just a way of getting more storage whilst still keeping your phone working smoothly. Also you can easily go back to your stock rom by going to this thread and downloading whichever one you want although i don't think this will be the case since kyrillos roms are awesome.

how do i check used/remaining space in hybrid data2sd partition...??
pls need help...

I think you may need to type something into terminal emulator. Hillbeast is the best person to ask as he made the script in the first place.

a2sd script for stock rom v 2.2 overcome internal memory issue

hello all.
i have HTC desire with stock ROM v 2.2 and i have rooted my phone and flashed the CM10 | Jelly Bean 4.1.2 - v3.1 which supports a2sd script and allow to install many app in the SD-ext partition but there were some problems in the battery drain . video play back flickering and video recorder so i restored my original stock ROM it is very fast and no the jellybean's issues but the only problem is limited internal memory so i need your help to have a2sd script or any script to overcome this problem
thanks.

Use any non sense gingerbread ROM if u want speed + battery life.
I would recommend using milwilds redux or oxygen ROM. They have a2sd built in and activated, so all u need to is flash the rom if you have already made the partition.

You need to flash a stock ROM that comes pre rooted. From there you can install an a2sd script.
I would really recommend a custom gingerbread ROM though. It looks like you just had a bad experience with the new jb ROMs, but trust me the GB roms are good. they are fast, stable, and optimized from a2sd.

1. Partition your sd card using this guide if you havent already done so.
2. Download Mildwild v4.9 based on Oxygen from here. Then copy the zip to your sdcard
3. Reboot into recovery. If you are using cwm recovery do the following: wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache. If using 4ext recovery go to the wipe menu and select "format all partitions (except sd card)"
4. Then go to install and choose the zip of the rom you previously copied to the sd card. Once it has successfully flashed, reboot
5. Leave it for about 5 minutes to load everything up (the first boot may take up to 10 min so be patient)
6. If you made the partition correctly in step 1, whenever you install an app it will automatically be moved to the sd card ext partition.

@OP, if u r going to use MildWild Oxygen (very good rom) then i would highly recommend changing hboots (if ur s-off) to get the most space for data partition, otherwise ul be wasting over 100mb in system partition.

First of all dont use cwm to make the partition. Read this guide to learn how to correctly make the partition. You can easily install 4ext recovery which is better than cwm and it will make good partitions. I would recommend a 1gb ext4, and no swap. After flashing the rom, a2sd will be already activated so theres no need to use terminal emulator to do anything.
Jmcclue is suggesting that you use a different hboot (internal memory partition layout). Using stock hboot with mildwilds oxygen rom, you will be wasting more than 100mb on the system partition. If you want to optimize the internal partition layout so that you have the most space on on the data partition, it would be wise to use the cm7r2 hboot, or even one of the custom hboots that jmcclue has made (check his signature).

OK hboot is the layout of partition sizes on the internal memory. There are 3 partitions: system, cache and data.
Stock hboot gives 250mb to system which is way too much because mildwilds oxygen rom only needs 110mb.
Since you are wasting 140mb on system, you get less space on data(to store app data on)
With cm7r2 hboot u get 145mb system partition, and more space on data.
Changing hboot is pretty easy, but i guess u could say its more risky than flashing a rom. Its not mandatory to do it but it would make sense to do so. Its your choice.
If you leave it with stock hboot everything will work fine, but your data partition will fill up faster. If you aren't planning on installing more than 50 apps then stock should be fine. If you want the ability to install lots of apps (more than 50) then install cm7r2.

How many apps do u think you will install?

Changing hboot is pretty easy, but i guess u could say its more risky than flashing a rom. Its not mandatory to do it but it would make sense to do so. Its your choice.

I will change my hboot but i don't know which one can i install to work with the Rom and the method of installation.
i have read the jcullum's thread of custom hboots and downloaded the custom hboots but there are many files and can't differentiate between them which is the more suitable to my device and which is the proper method for installing it
which i can understand it.is too move any hboot.img from any folder to SD card and flash it from recovery ?
if this right ? i wanna recommendation to the proper one for this ROM and more safe definitely

No u don't flash any hboot files through recovery. This is how to flash the hboot:
1. Go to http://alpharev.nl/ and download the PB99IMG for the cm7r2 hboot.
2. Once it has downloaded, rename it to PB99IMG and put it on the root of your sd card (not in any folders)
3. Boot into hboot(volume down + power). Wait a bit while it searches for the file
4. When it finds the file it will ask if you want to install. Press volume up to install. The reboot.
