Apps2sd on htc hero g2

hi there
hope u people are fine...
my question is what is the max size we can keep on ext. partition on sd card
i have 8 gb card
currently i have 512 mb on my ext partition but still whenever i install more apps it give error memory is very less and phone works very slow it is always aroung 54- 72 mb only to before starting any app or game i have click on task killer
is there any solution to this...
or any rom which can solve this isssue currently running 1.5 froydvillain
because of this issue i have started hating my hero
please let me know any solution to this

Simple solution back up ur EXT - partition & format it. Otherwise Download Quick system info App from the market & Check your App2sd is working correctly or not ..

thanks for your reply
what should be the size of ext3 partion if i have 8 gb memory card ???
512 mb or more

i think it doesn't matter you can make 512 or 1024 Mb also .. but just too not sure

the size of the ext-partition should not be the problem...
format your sdcard (back it up first)
and be sure to create an ext2 partition just to be on the safe side
some kernels do not support ext3+
(not sure if ninpo's kernel does)

Should support it, but use EXT2 to save the life of your SD card

Your dalvik cache is filling up your on board memory.

very low internal memory - american android 2.3.7 MAGDLR NAND

I have american android NAND MAGLDR installed in my HD2. But I have one problem with low internal memory.
Briefly: I have very low internal memory. About 50 MB only despite the fact that I have moved all my downloaded market apps onto my SD card. Preinstalled Android apps like MAPS, facebook and so on Im not able to move to my SD card. But there are still updates of this apps and Im afraid of that there will not be any free space for them in the while because 50 MB is really very little.
is there any option how to solve this problem?

Search in the american android thread about data2sd script or an a2sd+ script, when you get there, there should bin instructions on how to install it, as it varies for different roms.

I made ext3 partition cca 800 MB and swap partition cca 133 MB on my SD card by using MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition.
Then I have put my SD card into HD2 and by using MAGLDR I have installed american android 2.3.7 NAND.
But problem is it shows that my internal memory is still the same (as was before I made ext3 partition 218 MB total and 159 MB free)
I believed that when I create ext3 partition it will increase my internal memory. But it did only that some space from my SD card disappeared.
Could somebody explain me why is that, what did I wrong ?

Depending on the script you are using, internal memory wont show an increase. If you want to see if its working use titanium backup. The reason for this is different scripts use different symlinks and linked directories.

titanium backup dont show me anything like ext3 partition
I have no idea what I did wrong .. I did it in accordance with instructions witch was written in american android FAQ

could somebody tell me please how could I use a ext3 SD partition in american android 2.3.7 NAND? Im working on it 60 hours and I dont know what I do wrong because my android is not able to mount that partition:
here is what I did:
1. operating system wm 6,5 HTC HD2
2. flash MAGLDR 1.13 and choosed option 5. flash USB
3. run american android setup (ACA setup exe) and installed it
4. took my SD card 4GB and by using minitools partition wizard i created:
- HD2 partition, primary, FAT 32, cluster 32k
- sd-ext partion, primary, ext3, 800 MB
- linux swap, primary, 128 MB
5. then I insert SD card into HTC HD2 and restart
6. android, titanium backup, android commander are not able to detect any ext3 partition
7. Link2SD was able to detect this partition and install apps in there but when I restarted my phone all apps installed in sd2 partition just disappeared. So now link2sd just shows there is something on sd2 partition but Im not able to see it nor use it
could somebody tell me what I did wrong ?
How could I run data2sd script or a2sd+ script on american android rom ? (I have looking for it on the thread but I didnt find instructions)
or tell me another option how to free internal memory of phone for american android 2.3.7 NAND CM7,2

[Q] Internal Memory Low Space on ICS 2.4.27-HWA

I have installed MIUI.us-Leo-2.4.27-HWA.ZIP in to my HTC HD2. Everything is working fine except Camera and phones internal memory is very low, only 25MB resulting cannot update any existing applications.
My phones total internal memory memory is 151MB and available is only 25MB.
SD card total space is 15GB and available is 9GB which is fine.
Total downloaded applications are 26 only, so it is not that I have too many application downloaded.
I moved most of the downloaded and other applications to SD card by using titanium backup. Few could not be moved for unknown reason as it does not give me option to move.
Can anyone please help me to increase my internal memory to at least at 70 or 60MB please.
Would appreciate your help.

i have used a few MIUI roms & did not have that problem
what is the data.img that you used?
are you using NAND rom? in that case what was the size of the partition you used, did you follow the recommended size?

Yes, it is NAND ROM. The recommended partition was above 200mb and I used 250mb, so it was okay.
All I need to increase my internal space at least to 60 or 70mb so that application update can be done.
Many thanks

The ROM suggested 200, but you installed 250. You just lost 50 worth o internal storage.
You'll need to install an A2SD script, in order to be able to use your sd card as an internal storage. (of course, after making an ext2 partition )

Marvlesz, I looked for 200MB partition but could not find anywhere. That's why I installed 250MB. There are only 3 options they gave which is 150MB, 250MB & 400MB. Please suggest me in details how I would be able to do ext2 or ext4 using A2SD

Increase HD2 internal memory

hi guys new user of HTC HD2 here (previous motorola defy user)
so I got this phone yesterday thru swapping, and this phone is awesome, but I was rather disappointed with the internal memory. Mines got 186mb of application space so I always get memory full prompts. I know there is a mod to increase the size.
I flashed paranoid android this morning and boy is it good looking
I just want to increase my internal memory and Id be happy with it
what's the maximum I can a lot to it?

OK first things first,
Are you familiar with the 'stuff' of the HD2? MAGLDR bootloader, ClockworkMod Recovery(CWM)? sd-ext partitions?

well I'm trying to learn this terms but this is gonna take a while I think,
the Previous owner has installed magdlr 1.13 and clockworkmod and I have flashed paranoid android rom this morning. So I do have a recovery
sd-ext partion not so much

**okay okay, you will need to do a lot of research about your device and using it to its full potential; too much that it can't be explained within one post **
but here is a method I found in xda of performing a sd-ext partition within cwm:
> GO to advance and then partition SD card
> Remember this will wipe the sd card so back everything up if need be
> Choose how much space you want, 1024mb is recommended, on the partition then then choose 0MB for swap
>PLEASE NOTE PARTITIONING WILL WIPE THE SD CARD!
>and hey presto your done
> from here you can install link2sd and your set to go. -note, you will need to read about link2sd before use. just search it
There are many benifits of this using EXT-Partition such as you apps will automatically transfer to your partition meaning you will free space on your internal storage!
apologies if there's any misinformation there, quite tired :$
Sent from space..

ah I see, so basically the sd card will be detected as and internal card and I won't face memory full errors whenever uninstalling?
but I can just use link2sd app to transfer apps to sd card manually right?
I was wondering why I only have 186mb of internal memory wherein in GSM arena it says at least 512mb.
what I want to do is a phone modification to increase it, just in case the sd card was corrupted, I still have my apps on the phone memory
thanks for the reply though, if you can add something feel free :victory:

It says 186Mb because when you flash CWM, you also partition your NAND to run Android. Essentially, the storage you get is 512Mb-CWM partition size, although normally it's lower as there are probably things other than this installed to the NAND.

Thank you

Well it depends on the partition size you're currently using. If it's already the minimum for your ROM then no you can't increase the storage by repartitioning the NAND, but if it's any more than the minimum then you can increase this, by reflashing recovery with the correct size. Make a full backup in CWM first though.

so I reflashed 150MB recovery partition and flashed AOKP build by xylograph
now I have 217MB of internal memory
what should I flash so I can have more space?

the less is your recovery partition - more internal memory you get. Minimal recovery partition can be about 100 mb for some light roms I belive. So you can get 50 more mb than you hav now.
You've mentioned 300mb earlier, even if you get your desired 300mb it's gonna get filled up very soon.
I would advise you as was mentioned above to borrow 1gb from your sd card for sd-ext partition. Most of the roms support from the box (without intsalling any additional apps or scripts) sd-ext partition and install apps by default on that partiotion, Paranoid Android does, for instance, actually 80% of the roms do as well...

I don't know if it means anything, but you could look into a US HD2. Its got 1024 mb internal memory! That's double!

ok maybe ill experiment with this sd-ext partition
never had to deal with tgis when I was on defy

try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661892

I installed AOKP in NAND & had only a few 100mb's available, I just used Link2SD & moved most apps/ games to SD. SD has no ext. part. yet. will do it latter when i get a 32gig card, now just testing a 4gig SD

[Q] HTC HD2

hello everyone
I have my htc hd2 several times already reinstalled with android,
Until recently, no problems but now after installing setup by rebooting I went to see internal storage 0.0 B free therefore can not install apps.
Have different android versions even tried it first did.
When I go back to windows I see free internal memory.
I also used MTTY_ver_1.42 and badblock that I had got away.
Do hspl 2.08, radio 2.15, magldr 1.13, cwm-recovery 5.0.2.6.
android versions I have tried are:
NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V3.3a-(Android 2.3.7)
TouchWizMOD_v2.1
NexusHD2-Jelly Bean-CM10.1_V2.4
One-S v1.1
Slimroms_LeoV8.0.
Who can help me?

What is your setup? Are you using "DataOnEXT"? NativeSD? Do you have an EXT partition on your sdcard? What's the system partition you created?

Wait, what do you mean by "go back to windows"? How do you have windows and still able to install android in the NAND?

I mean back to the original ROM install windows again.
When I look at memory I see that there is free memory.
If I then continue walking to android is set up from the outset, I see all the steps after the installation of internal memory 0.0 Kb

... I'm confused.. Where exactly do you see this 0kb? And why are you even looking at it? And why would you even flash WinMo after having Android? They have don't share internals. In fact, installing WinMo erases Android and its bootloaders. (Unless you're running NativeSD, which yet again, resides in the sd card and is NOT affected by the internal storage)
If you can't install apps, maybe the 4GB partition is full? (though I doubt that)
But have you tried a fresh install? (formatted SD card, all partitions?)

if I have installed android and I look at settings and memory than I see in internal memory 0 Kb stand when I want to download an app I get the message that I have no free internal memory.
The reason I had installed the original windowsrom was because I wanted to completely put out android again, I had the idea that it might be good what went sadly was not.
I formatted my sd card several times already and ext4 partition remains the same.
I also tried native but also the same.

Your problem is weird, it's not common. You must be doing something wrong but I fail to figure out what. I searched but all I could find is "resize partition, format and reflash" and "thank you! everything works now!".

EDIT:
What do you mean by "ext4 partition remains the same" ? You must format that as well using A PC.

I use my PC to an ext4 partition to get the message but can not mount during install, I use mini tool partition wizard.
I have tried TWRP recovery.
But unfortunately still not the solution

OK, try this: Completely format the sd card and create only 1 FAT32 partition, don't create an EXT partition. Now insert the card into your phone and boot into recovery, go to "Partition SD card" and choose 2GB and (if asked) choose ext4. Choose 0 swap and select OK/next.
Now make sure your NAND is partitioned correctly (system & cache), then copy the ROM and flash it from recovery, choose DataOnExt. Report back.

I made 1 partition on my sd card of 32Gb. made there in TWRP after 1 ext4 partition of 4GB nand to due to the overview of the android ROM.

Okay, now I have no more ideas. If you're doing everything right, it should work immediately. Here is a quick guide on how to install android nand. I'm sorry, that's all I could do, I couldn't help.
You should wait for other suggestions, but in the meantime you can follow that guide and see if it works.

No, the RAM has nothing to do with your internal. Have you followed the guide I linked you to?
Also, try to delete an app (a preferably big one) and see if your NAND gets any more free.
