[Q] A2SD question

[koker93]

2 questions
1) is A2SD usually brewed right into ROM's?
2) should I see my internal storage size actually increase if it is working, or does it just make it easier to move things to SD?

One of the reasons I rooted, like everyone else I would guess, is because of the relatively small internal storage on my EVO. I read somewhere that you could get the EVO to think that a 512meg partition on the SD card is actually more internal storage but have been unable to get google to tell me how to do it...

U should get more internal memory

1) the rom description will say if a2sd is baked in, or if the rom supports it. If a2sd isn't baked then download the zip (which I can post if you want), then flash the rom, then kernel, then gapps, then a2sd. It will reboot 3 times then check the internal memory.

2) it won't show any more internal memory, just that less is being used, as a2sd basically tells the phone where on the SD card to look to find the apps

I'm fairly certain I have it working. I using classic, which has it built in. Think so anyway. I installed an a2sd app and it shows the ext3 partition and that its being used. I suppose that when I start to approach the app load I had before I rooted the phone ill know.

Thanks for the answers guys.

Have you partitioned the SD? If not then you're not using a2sd. Let me know and if not I can help.....

Could do (in terminal emulator)

su
a2sd remove

If,after the phone reboots, you have less free internal memory, you know it worked. After verifying that, then go back to term emulator and

su
a2sd reinstall
