Hi. For some weird reason I still don't know, apps2sd refuses to work on my setup. I have tried AmberHome and this time, Megatron. Speed is amazing, but again, apps2sd is not working. I was using 1GB before for the sd partition. For the sake of following directions, I used 512MB, converted to ext4, then wiped everything. I flashed the rom and it happily booted. But it seems that the apps installed are still going to the internal memory. I mounted the sdcard on a Linux system and found out that the sd partition only has a lost+found folder. I am not sure which part I got it wrong. I am using an 8GB card. Any suggestions?:confused:

recovery kernel doesnt support ext3 and ext4 to partition at the time i made it there were no kernel sources.

Damn i was hoping to get better batt life. Sheesh..i saw little improvement with mintron
Interactive governor is to blame.

I already have a tweak to extend battery life on the version for PT people (Megatron is based on it but it uses the european KDZ as base).
If I'm not too lazy on exporting it to a EU V10C, you can expect a Megatron v2 with better battery life.

I can't figure out why not all apps install on the sdcard. I'm installing from the market mainly. I have the 512mb ext4 partition and the rest of the space is FAT32. Only one app from the last 10 I tried installing show "on SD CARD" under applications. How can I force all apps to go on the SD card? How can i read the ext4 partition under file manager in the phone? Tried 2 microsd cards still nothing..

Don't guide yourself from there.
Check your internal memory: is it >150MB?

Also, if you have adb installed, do this:
"adb shell ls /system/sd/", app folder there?

It's probably working and you're panicking over nothing!

Hmm, yes the folder is there.
Then it might be some browser or app cache eating my phone memory, I will check that.

That would be much appreciated. By now it seems like battery is drained quite fast, even in standby.

Please, don't be!! :)
Megatron is the best ROM yet as far as i'm concerned, the interface/menus are very zippy and the launcher pro looks terrible good. It should be the ultimate ROM. So yeah, having longer battery is a must. Right now the battery drains on 2 days average usage, but it's sure better then the default ROM. USB charging is great, if you use an PC charging the phone is not an issue.

Weird; try changing the SDcard to test if he's the one giving you trouble.
(Did you skip the step ext2-ext3 before ext3-ext4?)
Never skipped a step. In fact, I even repartitioned it just to make sure, and then converted to ext3 to ext4.

"adb shell ls /system/sd/" should return: dalvik-cache, app, app-private, lost+found (sometimes)
but more importantly, "adb shell ls -l /data/" should return the 3 symlinks.
Weird. Here's what I got now...
Code:
[email protected]:~$ adb shell ls /system/sd/
placeholder
[email protected]:~$ adb shell ls -l /data/
opendir failed, Permission denied
Now i'm lost.
