Do you want to check??

- (root needed) Use the app Rootexplorer or ES File Explorer and browse to the places (/system/sd) if you see directories app, app-private and any-other directories a2sd is working. you can check which app has been moved to ext partition in app directory. If you do not see directories follow bellow steps.

I am not be held responsible for any lost data or turning your phone into a brick.

partitioning your SD card will format it and you will lose all data on the card. Please do yourself a favor and backup all contents of your SD card to your PC!

Typically it’s best to have a2sd setup before you flash a ROM

Back up all your data from the SD card to your PC

Clockwork -?creates ext3 partitions by default, if you are using latest ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.8 port for the HTC Chacha by adlx.xda's, I believe it creates ext4 partitions by default & limited size choices. I believe the options are 512, 1024, 2048, respectively

Boot into recovery.

Main menu in recovery scroll down to advanced press the enter button.

Now in the advanced menu scroll down to the Partition SD card option and press the enter button

When asked for the ext size, I recommend using 512mb or 1GB. There can be stability issues going over 1.5GB

When asked for the swap size 0mb, 128mb or 250mb, its your choice if you want to use swap otherwise select 0mb. (This Rom support swap)

Time to flash ROM.

To view the help of a2sd you need to have terminal emulator for android, Evey time you run terminal emulator you will need to type this command “su” (without the ” ) hit enter this gives terminal super user access.

Type a2sd check and hit enter again, It will display the settings for apps, private apps, dalvik, swap, zipalign, & low memory killer settings, it will also display suggested commands for each parameter. You can also type a2sd help for a list of all supported commands. It is very easy to use.

If you had already installed Rom, you may need to issue this command in Terminal Emulator in order to enable it

a2sd reinstall
Moves all current and future non-system apps to the sd card & performs a full reboot

How did you add ext4 and swap support to the kernel? I want to do that on an European ROM that i'm cooking, but it only supports ext2,ext3 and no swap (it's stock HTC kernel)

faizkalwar · Mar 2, 2012

you will have to build a new kernel to support ext4 and swap.

just Google it how to build kernel for android..
I think it is only possible in Linux.

Yes I know... but maybe you have patched HTC kernel sources for ChaCha, and added the code to support ext4 and swap... just want to know if I'm correct what patches you have applied.

faizkalwar · Mar 2, 2012

absolutely correct.

What is the recommended microsd class speed if I want to use app2sd and move all my apps/apps data/dalvik cache to sdcard? I don't know what is the limitation of the implemented app2sd in this rom. For what I know app2sd+ does that.

Thanks.
