new version on top of previous

@ tkirton/OP
any suggestions on installing/using this version on top of the previous one? i'm thinking:

  1. return everything back to internal (also have dv cache on sd; btw, NOT returning things back to internal prior to flashing roms on top of another, especially for CM nightlies, always bootloops my phone - doing otherwise makes it work :confused:)
  2. flash the new dt update
  3. run dt commands as usual
thanks in advance for any inputs. again, well done, man! sending you beer money by weekend..

If you have already downloaded it, download again (first message now has the reason why...but in a nutshell, a serious error is in the original Beta 03 that causes erratic operations).

Then, just flash on top of the existing one...it should work.

But you could do your steps...it won't hurt.

^ yup, you & tkirton are correct. was thinking more on the lines of flashing over a rom over another..and yes, that thingy on sd capacity vs internal IS important. thanks!

@tkirton:
data2sd, WTF! what a surprise, man! but is there something wrong with this:
Code:
Data                    - [[COLOR="Red"][B]![/B][/COLOR]] Program Data on SD card.
                          [ ] Note: This is an experimental setting and
                          [ ]       could cause unpredictable results.
doesn't ! denote not optimal or something? everything works well though. on my legend, internal storage is only at 180/185 even when i add big apps :D

also, cachesdreset doesn't seem to work:
Code:
[ ] Apps2SD is launching...

That exclamation point I debated on for a while when I put that code in. The thing with that code is it's experimental, so I wanted to indicate that (if I don't, then I get a bunch of e-mails saying this option doesn't work if people get force closes). I didn't want to put an [X] as it's not broken. I'll change it...I'll put it as [ ]...simple code change.

As for cachesdreset, someone else noticed that as well. It's a missing asterisk on the case code (probably happened when I rebuilt the code...both cachesd and cachesdreset share the same code). It's back in there on the code I'm testing now and will show back up in Beta 04. In the meantime, if you want to clear your dalvik-cache, you can execute a2sd resetcache.

If you want to remove dalvik-cache from internal storage but you don't want to put it on the SD card, you could try the following command: a2sd cachepart. This will move your dalvik-cache to the /cache partition. Just make sure you have a large /cache partition (roughly equal to the size of your data partition).

i'm sorry but this made my htc legend slower with cache2sd... got bootloops when disabled cache2sd...

some questions/suggestions, bro:

  1. is data2sd out of experimental phase already? :D btw, i'm getting a couple of FCs (usually android.process.XXX -- forgot exactly what. sorry for this) on beta3's data2sd though nothing earth shattering to cause me to restart my phone
  2. any changes for data2sd from beta3 to beta4? help command doesn't say much
  3. any command to move apps, dalvik cache & /data to sd/sdext in one go? or is this too risky?
oh..and ah..you don't have a donate button ;)

From Beta 3 to Beta 4, the datasd command now runs the fix_permissions program (same one you use in recovery). This, hopefully, fix the force close issue.

There's no command to do app, dalvik-cache and program data at once. May create one in the next release.

Also, you can use a2sd fixapk to run fix_permissions on your programs.

The donate button is on my signature. Just click on Donate and it automatically goes to Paypal. Donations is not necessary for you to enjoy this product...never has been, never will.

Hey, just got a new 32gb micro sd card which I wanted to set up. I tried to partition via CWM, and it said it completed successfully, but it gave some kind of error when trying to wipe. So, I partitioned and formatted via my Ubuntu desktop and all seemed to go well. I did a full wipe, installed the latest CM7 Nightly (116) and installed A2SD beta4, but apps don't seem to moving to the ext4 partition. When I do "su a2sd install" in terminal emulator I get the "SD Card not mounted, Cannot reinstall applications to SD card" error. Is there something I'm missing, or some workaround for it?

How do you go about the installation of 2.7.5.3 Beta4/5 using CWM 3.x.x?
I don't know enough about upgrade/edify to convert the zip, is it a matter of decompressing & pushing the files somewhere?

use rom manger (from market) to install the ZIP File (FROM SD!)
after reboot use your pc and connect via ADB Shell
Run the command from Shell -> a2sd chachesd

Your Legend will Reboot and after your cache is on SD card :)

Work great in ogo2 ROM .. thanks a lot

Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
Hi,

I've been using ogo2's ROM. Previously I was using CM nightly #153. When using CM ROM Titanium backup app had showed the apps2sd partition (meaning I could see it's size and how much was used).

Now that I moved to ogo2's ROM I can't see the apps2sd partition in Ti. When moving from CM to ogo2 I wiped everything, including the sd-ext partition. Then installed ogo2's ROM and flashed apps2sd latest zip. Could it be that wiping the sd-ext patition caused the partition not to be ext4 as it was earlier and that's why I can't see it?
