[OUTDATED] Darktremor Apps2SD version 2.7 Update 3r1 (2010-06-26)

I'm thinking that the class 2 is giving me headaches. I suspect the speed isn't fast enough for dalvik-cache, hence why you have an extremely long delay time. Not your fault...this particular issue is hard to track down.
What I would like is some program I can run on the phone that would measure your SD card and, if you were running class 2, it would prevent the dalvik-cache from being moved. Now that I'm past the ext4 issue, I'm looking for one. If I can find one, I'll integrate that in 2.6.1.
In the meantime, you can turn off dalvik-cache by typing a2sd nocache. I know that defeats the purpose of this version of A2SD, but it may make your phone more stable while sacrificing phone memory.
Then, once I get the program more stabilized for slow cards or you get a Class 4 or better, then you can run a2sd cache.
that workedim fine with that until I get a new card! still 80mb free on phone
No problem.
one problem
i use "a2sd nocache" and cache flag file is created on /sdcard indeed. after reboot Davlik Cache is back to sd card since /sdcard is not mounted yet while 04apps2sd is executing
Seriously? So I need to put the files back on /system/sd. Great.
I'll have a file for you to test in a moment.
I'm running the RegawMod and get constant FC reboots while trying to connect phone to PC to check adb...
It didn't take me phone too long to go from boot to home screen... def not 10minutes.
After phone gets to home screen, with everything appearing to be in working order, I plug in USB to test through adb. Once I do that the USB screen shows up, but freezes, then reboots...
Definitely doesn't work with RegawMod... tried a nandroid backup, redoing the entire partition sd thing, and re-flashing this zip... usb screen still freezes, then reboots. I have a class 6 8gig card, set swap at 64mb, and left the ext at 512 with fat set at remainder.
Any ideas?

I'm having problems setting up swap. I have a swap partition set for 32mb. I'm getting this error:

Okay...I'm still looking into this. I was trying to have a2sd make more exceptions for Fresh 2.0d, but I'm not having much luck. I'm going to try to force the SD Fat32 partition to mount...but I'm not sure how that affects the operation. I'm testing right now. Be patient.
Which ROM are you using? I think I'm having lots of issues with Fresh 2.0d (again).
Try the 2.5 version (http://www.darktremor.com/files/misc/a2sd-2.6-signed.zip) and see if you have the same problem. The operation of the code is basically the same (only difference core-wise between codes was the flag files and consolidating the mounts).
You don't have to have a swap file...but if you set one, don't set it greater than 64MB (performance degrades with anything larger). Typically it's 32MB.
this worked great for me on my 1.5 rom and it actually sped up the rom even more than it was, great work to the dev!
I got it working by doing a total wipe, then redoing all the other steps... instead of using the backups from MyBackUp, I just reloaded everything from market.
Who knows... maybe it had something to do with that.
Probably has something to do with Dalvik Cache. I have been fighting that since I put out 2.5.
I finally had to give up and go back to 2.5. I was unable, even after a wipe and clean flash of dc 2.0.7.2. I nuked/repartitioned my SD card. I wiped everything on the phone multiple times. All I achieved was constantly getting a rebuilt dalvik every boot. I don't know what's wrong, or if it was something I did. logcat didn't show anything wrong...just the rebuild.
Sorry Tkirton. Tried everything I could think of to get around it.

New Version 2.6.1
New version 2.6.1 available. This is mainly a fix to 2.6.
- Fixed a couple of bugs, especially the issue with the swap partition not activating.
- Relocated the flag files back to /system/sd
- Move the mount to the beginning of the file (so the ext partition will be available for all functions)
- Inserted code preventing the dalvik-cache from moving during boot for Fresh 2.0-based Roms (got into a boot stall during testing).

Introducing Darktremor Apps2SD 2.7 Update 3r1
Date of Release: June 26, 2010
This is Darktremor Apps2SD, a powerful program that 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.
- Activate a swap partition on your SD card.
- 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.
- Allows the user to easily clear the Dalvik Cache without booting into recovery
- Designed with all different phones and roms in mind.
- Built in help system for easy reference of commands.
- All features can also be reversed without repartitioning your Secure Digital card.
Not sure if you should use this program? Take a look at these roms that currently run Darktremor Apps2SD:
That makes 22 different roms across 6 different phones that uses Darktremor Apps2SD. And more roms have been tested and verified to work with Darktremor Apps2SD.1
Download http://www.darktremor.com/files/misc/a2sd-2.6-signed.zip and flash it like you would a ROM. I flashed it with RA 1.6.2...not sure if other recovery versions will work (been getting mixed results).
If you can't flash it, let me know and I'll guide you to manually push it.1hey guys!
is there a way to move apps to internal storage when i have flashed DT?
im using CM7 nightly and darktremor.
i want to move for example desktop visualzer to the interal storage.
thx for help
You would have to move the app to /system/app/
