Sorry, is this for me? I'm sure there is enough room in the /system partition because I haven't installed any apps and my sd has 8gb of storage. The ext partition is 512 mb. So I'm sure there is enough space. I have installed cyanogen 7.1 and miui. I can't make apps2sd work on either rom.
hello, created a rom with kitchen for htc explorer with a2sd enabled, working perfectly.
want to know how to add the beta 4 to it,
2.7.5.2 is the version pre loaded in kitchen and can't flash the beta4 .zip file. Tried copying data and systems files to my rom. It flashed alright but cannot get datasd work everytime, is that the correct way?
how could I do it?
many thanks

Hi Please help me i am not getting why this happening.
Here is what my config is
16 GB SD Card Class 6 (13.5GB FAT32 + 1.5 EXT3 SD-EXT Partition)
I flashed this Script using clockwork mode and I saw in Titanium Backup that SD-EXT is 1.5 GB and 1.4GB is free.I installed apps,used phone everything was fine.But as i rebooted all the software which were on phone memory disappeared.and shourtcut of those apps were glassy grey color like app is not installed...
What should i do to solve this ?

After flagging dt script, did you use terminal to enter the command to move apps to ext?
↖↗↖↗↖↗↖↗↖↗↖↗↖↗↖↗↖↗↖↗↖↗↖↗↖↗↖↗↖↗
No,i didn't did anything. I just flashed the script, and checked in a2sdgui that ad-ext is shown.
Then i just installed few apps normally and rebooted the device and after rebooting all apps in phone memory were disappeared,,,,,
Can anyone tell me step by step guide to proper installation of the script?
I my own modified stock Rom that supports init.d not cm7

need to read the OP pages
but they, as far as i know, are using their own versions--ia2sd--which kick in on 2nd boot

My sister has a Transform Ultra 2.3.4 that i just rooted via the one click method. Can i flash this beta 4 script our do i need to flash a custom ROM first?
Or does she at least need to have a custom recovery 1st?
Then again i don't know if that (1 click) method installed a recovery or not.

Hi,
several questions:
1. is the project abandoned? Since there isn't an update for a year now...
2. Can it be installed wihtout loosing the Data on the SD? e.g. resizing SD partitions from windows? How the had to be created?
3. What happens to already installed apps? will they be moved? can the be moved? Waht happens to apps wich are moved by gingers app2sd function?
4. can we install it wihtout clockwork mod? e.g. copy wiht root explorer and set permission - then a normal scrip should be also capable of installing- or is there more to be done?
5. what happens if the partiton runs out of space? Will apps go to internal memory then?
Even I already used it for some time now on my wildfire - still those question bother me since I just switched to a device where i don't have clockwork mod...

1) Most likely. Whatever is here is here. This shouldn't be too much as a problem as some report that this works with ICS. It would be nice if the low volume bug could be fixed... Maybe one day the dev will come back.
2) You can install/flash this just fine with no wipes. You WILL need to have an EXT partition (recommended ext3 or 4) for this to work. When you create the partition you WILL lose all data on SD. Backup everything on your PC first. As for how to flash, I would simply recommend to do it with a recovery (IE: AmonRa or 4EXT touch recovery).
3) Not sure if you can move previously installed apps. This script does not give the user an easy option to choose which to move to ext which is a shame... Apps that are moved on .android_secure (gingerbread's a2sd) can be moved back easily (and placed in the EXT by default) by going to settings>apps>on sd and click move to phone. It will usually move the app to the ext which the phone recognizes as internal.
4) Not too sure. The best way (obviously) is to flash the script via recovery but I am not the one to ask for moving files to /system. You can open the RAR file on your PC and view where the files are supposed to go and try to push them there. But when experimenting, back up lol.
5) If the partition runs out of space then apps will be installed to internal until that is almost filled as well. Then you will get the low memory error when trying to install. You must likely will not fill a partition as this script has many flaws when it comes to recognizing 'free space.' When I used to use it I would get 'low memory' errors when the partition was only half way filled.
Hope this helps. If you don't understand anything I said just ask.
Hi,
I've 2 questions:
1. I have a HTC Desire GSM that's running CM 7.0.3 and I've run the DT A2SD script to put my apps and dalvik-cache to the EXT partition on the sdcard. I wish to update to CM 7.10, and the instructions seem straightforward enough (nandroid, flash, that's it). I'm wondering if I need to do anything about A2SD for the update?
2. I wish to upgrade to a larger sdcard. How can I migrate from my existing sdcard to a new one?

boot to recovery mode
nandroid backup, only choose [android_secure] and [sd-ext]
turn on usb mass storage
move everything on sd to computer
turn off usb mass storage
turn off phone in recovery
switch hardware sd card from old to new
do not power on phone normally
must directly boot into recovery mode
partition sd card - your desired ext and space etc.
usb mass storage on
everything from computer to sd
usb mass storage off
nandroid restore (the one only with the two options ticked)
reboot phone - phew finished!

Thanks! So I assume flashing the CM7.1 update will clear my internal memory, that's why I need to reflash darktremor zip file? After flashing it will I need to run the a2sd scripts again after reboot to move my apps and dalvik-cache to my sdcard?1)
nandroid
wipe cache
wipe dalvik
flash update
flash darktremor
reboot
done
nah, flashing updates will replace files in elsewhere with new ones but not /data partition nor /sd-ext partition therefore flashing updates will not clear your internal memory. if people did not use any a2sd scripts then their apps and data will not be changed after flashing an update.
however as we use darktremor a2sd script, files in the /system partition and other places which are directing apps and dalvik to our sd-ext, are removed when we flash the update. so thats why we will have to flash darktremor zip again everytime we update our ROM. note that we dont have to do this when we update our kernels only.
no, you dont need to do anything related to the activation of darktremor after updating the ROM and flashing the script together. not in A2SDGUI nor terminal emulator. your apps and data will just be there and because you NEED to wipe dalvik before ROM flash, the dalvik cache will start to build up in /sd-ext by itself on first boot. thats why the first boot will be long.
For your reference so you dont have to try it yourself - if you dont flash darktremor together with the ROM, you will just get all android package icons after you boot the phone and none of your app with activate until you wipe cache and dalvik again in recovery and flash the darktremor zip, everything will show up correctly.
in case if you face force closes at anytime after you did things related to darktremor, run a fix_permission and reboot then everything will be fine!
do a quick search "how to install darktremor" or search this thread, got not much time enough to teach you from installing recovery to finish a2sd...

If I had figured it out, than why i had asked here.
I will be thankfull if u can guide me
thanks in adv.

after installation you can either install A2SDGUI or simply use terminal emulator or adb shell to execute the following commands

if you really think darktremor is too complicated, try using Simple2Ext if you are using a cyanogenmod ROM.
You can also choose Link2SD if you are not using cm7 (as i can see ur on stock)
darktremor a2sd is not simple, even android isnt. ive used ****loads of time to read and test by myself when i was a noob, too
good luck mate!Hi,
I did as you told, however I'm going into a boot loop with the following messages in logcat:
Code:
E/dalvikvm( 792): opt header write failed: No space left on deviceI then did a df in adb shell and it showed that my /data partition is 100% full. This forced me to reboot to recovery and restore to my old CM 7.0.3 backup, which was successful. When I do a df then, it shows only 89% used. Under Android storage settings, I also see that there's 16+MB internal memory left. Why am I left with 0 space in /data after applying the CM7.1 update and the A2SD zip file?
Thanks.
Try amarulz as2dx
that worked for me on both stock 2.3.6 and also on cm7.2
al of my apps were installed on ext4 partition on CM

Darktremor Apps2SD 2.7.5.3 Beta 04
Date of Release: January 29, 2011

Darktremor Apps2SD Fan Page ----
Darktremor Apps2SD Development Group
This is Darktremor Apps2SD, a multipurpose program that primarily allows a user to execute applications created for the Android OS on their Secure Digital card (with the proper setup...more on that later). But, Darktremor Apps2SD is all about stability. The goal is to be able for all users of the Android OS to be able to take advantage of a method to run their applications from a secure digital card.
But just because the Darktremor Apps2SD is all about stability, doesn't mean it isn't packed with features:
- Move applications (both free and paid) to the Secure Digital card.
- Move Dalvik Cache to run either from your Secure Digital card or from your cache partition and clears the cache on demand.
- Boot Loop Protection: prevents the phone from boot looping in the event the SD card could not be mounted.
- Dalvik JIT for faster performance on Roms which support it.
- User selectable sizes for the Dalvik heap sizes, allowing a user to freely optimize their system.
- Activate a swap partition on your SD card and sets how often the swap partition is utilized.
- Automatically fixes configuration issues.
- Users can check the free space on their SD card and check the installation to make sure all is setup correctly.
- Runs ZipAlign on demand...this makes your programs load faster.
- Built in help system for easy reference of commands.
- All features can also be reversed without repartitioning your Secure Digital card.
- New logging features assists in troubleshooting issues.
- Commands to set the Low Memory Killer feature at boot time. Great for those people who are the "set it and forget it" type.
- And more...
Darktremor Apps2SD is not the same as Froyo Apps2SD. Froyo Apps2SD creates a secure folder on the FAT32 section of your SD card (this is the section that you see when you mount your phone to your computer) and stores the programs there. This is nice as you don't have to do anything special with the phone, but it isn't backwards compatible with older versions of Android (Cupcake, Donut, Eclair) and, because of the way Froyo works, older programs not designed for Froyo will automatically stay on your internal storage (unless you install a program that forces the move to your SD card).
Darktremor Apps2SD takes a different approach. Based on the original CyanogenMod works, Darktremor Apps2SD uses symbolic linking to force Android into moving your applications to the SD card. Because Android will not allow anything to be ran from the FAT32 partition on your SD card (and, in Froyo, it will only allow you to run programs from a special folder), Darktremor utilizes filesystems called EXT2, EXT3 and EXT4. Each one of these filesystems is native to Linux (the operating system running Android), which allows you to run programs from them (same as, say, a computer running Ubuntu). This method is completely compatible with all versions of Android, including Froyo. In fact, you can run both the Darktremor Apps2SD and Froyo Apps2SD at the same time.

Known issue in DT 2.7.5.3b4
- Low volume bug across all medias.
- Temp but working solution ==> WIPE CACHE after u flash DT before u reboot. Thanks to mtw4991 for the solution!
Please try the above ONLY if u have EXT4 partition.
If you are using ext2/ext3, you may wanna see my post here. ==> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11950587&postcount=674
To boost ext4 performance, you may wanna enable data writeback (default setting = ordered). I did not put into script as its optional. Note that this is a ONE TIME command input only. Only when you repartition the ext4 then you need to input again. Reboot to see the results.
Instructions for Inputing EXT4 data writeback.
1. From terminal or adb
2. Input the command as per the code below.
3. Reboot device.
Credit ALL to tkirton. I just amend the scripts to suit my needsCode:su tune2fs -o journal_data_writeback /dev/block/mmcblk0p26

Shiyou, do this, in order, using Temasek's modified DT script at the bottom:
1- move all files from sd card to pc
2- format and repartition sd card to ext2=1/1.5gb, swap=0, FAT=remainder
3- convert ext2>ext3
4- convert ext3>ext4
5- mount sdcard in recovery and move sd card contents from pc back to sdcard
6- flash rom/kernel/gapps(optional)/modified DT script
7- recovery, run fix_uid_mismatches
8- wipe cache only(fixes low volume bug, dont' wipe dalvik)
9- reboot (go do something, this will take some time)
10- in terminal run the following:
11- su (get superuser permission)
12- a2sd check (make sure a2sd is running)
13- a2sd zipalign (only need to run this command once)
14- a2sd reinstall (will reboot) then;
15- a2sd cachesd (will reboot) then;
16- fix_permissions
17- reboot into recovery, wipe cache and reboot
Hope this helps
