True or False: Apps2sd automatically works if phone has Fresh and partitioned card?

If I have Fresh 1.0.1 installed on my phone (which supports apps2sd), and I partition my SD card correctly, then all apps will be stored on my SD card automatically. Correct? There is no "choice" for me to make.
Just want to make sure I understand the process correctly. Partitioning the SD card through Clockwork recovery seems pretty straightforward.
Once that is done, my understanding is that the Fresh ROM will automatically move all my apps to the SD card. In fact, with a partitioned card, you HAVE to use apps2sd. The ROM gives you no choice. Correct?
thanks for any advice or confirmation on the above.

I never upgrade to 1.0.1, was testing different ROM's then. I am running CM6 at the moment, and I don't think I had to do anything at all for apps2sd to work, it automatically did, I didn't even make a partition.

You had to at least partition your card for it to work.

I don't have any memory doing it, but its possible that I did once I got my phone, getting ready for apps2sd.
But anyways, it seemed to work automatically once I got on a ROM that had apps2sd. I 'think' that there is a few options in the settings that you can toggle on where the apps go, I think the sd card defaults though, atleast with CM6.
Sorry for my memory, I smoke too much.

No need to apologize! I did not mean to come off as short, I barely know what I'm doing myself obviously.
From what you describe, it sounds like it is automatic. I'd bet that all of the ROMs that support apps2sd are just supporting the same .zip.
I just can't figure out why my card won't partition right. My partitioned space is "unmounted." My apps won't move over. I can't figure it out.

What are you using to try to partition it?

First I used ROM Manager's "partition" command with the Clockwork Recovery. When that didn't work I flashed Amon RA Recovery and used the commands from the recovery screen. Still no dice.

Yes. Although I never tried it WITHOUT upgrading. Meaning, am I supposed to have just left it as ext2?
Here is what happens when I check apps2sd.

Were you able to find a solution? I'm using a 8gb class 4 card, and tried exactly what you tried and got the same result.

[Q] How to create an Apps2SD partition.

I'm using ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.0.1 and i've seen a couple of guides where I go into the recovery and do some bits and bobs there to create it, but the only options I seem to get are to mount the sd-ext partition, which fails because it doesn't exist, or to format it.
I'm guessing there is a step beforehand i'm missing?
Thanks

download rom manager from market , open it , then create a ext3 partionion ... done
before you create a partition , backup your sd card!!

I had the same problem.
You can create the partition using the ROM Manager app downloaded from the market as yasars said.
Alternatively, if you want to do it manually, you can format the card on a *nix system. The Gparted Linux app lets you edit the partitions in a nice and simple GUI. Just remember the order of the partitions: first fat32, then about 512 MB of ext2/3/4 (ext4 may not be supported by all ROMs so better to use ext3) and lastly a swap partition of about 32 MB (totally optional). The size of the fat32 partition is whatever is left over after you've allocated the 512 MB for the ext2/3/4 partitions (and the 32 MB for the swap if you decided you wanted it). For instance, for a 2GB card, leaving 512 MB for the ext2/3/4 partition (no swap) leaves us with about 1.5 GB for the fat32 partition. You do the calculations for your card in your head or on paper and use those values in Gparted.
HTH.

Thanks for the help guys
I think i'll just get it up and running using the ROM Manager and if I find the need I'll do a manual version

Yes it should be a sticky!

Having a problem when I try to use ROM Manager.
I select the 512 for EXT and 32Mb for Swap and the phone reboots.
It then shows the big triangle with Mr Android next to it until I press some buttons and then I get the recovery screen with the following messages
Finding Update Package....
Opening Update Package....
Verifying Update Package....
E:failed to seek in /cache/update.zip (Invalid Arguement)
E:signature verification failed
Installation Aborted.
I don't have a cache folder on my sd card so i'm guessing it's looking in the internal memory?
Not sure what to do here

BACK-UP sd card before you do this.
For windows users
have clockwork recovery and rom manager on your desire
then format sd in windows.
put it in your desire and go to rom manager.
select Partition SD Card
select your space i used 32 swap 512 ext
than reboot and your sd card has the ext partition.
than put your files back on your sd card and Done

I had the same problem with ROM Manager. My solution was to downgrade ClockworkMod Recovery to v2.5.0.0 (in ROM Manager) and then partition the card. Worked on first try.
When you're done you can upgrade to latest version again if you want.
I don't think you should use a swap partition, so just set it to 0 MB.
Good luck!

Do i just need to find the 2.5.0.0 update.zip file and flash?

going to 2.5.0.0 worked
so now i have the ext partition do I need to do anything for apps to be installed there, or will they install there by default?
Also i've heard that the ext partitions can be 2 3 or 4. I'm presuming higher is better. How do I go about finding what mine is and how can I upgrade it if it need it?
Thanks

Hi, I'm also going to give your guide a go. Just one question, do I have to do it with the SD card still in the phone or can i do it with a SD USB adapter?

As long as you have an ext2/3/4 partition and the ROM you're flashing has A2SD support (check before you download the ROM), you are not required to do anything more. To check whether A2SD is working once you've flashed your ROM, download the Android Terminal Emulator app from the market and use the following commands
Code:
su
ls -l /data
You should see your app directory pointing to /system/sd/app and app-private pointing to /system/sd/app-private
I'm not sure which format ROM Manager defaults to, but you can always check the type of format used by mounting the card in Linux and using the GParted Linux app (you could use a card reader or use the 'Disk Drive' option in your phone to connect it to the computer). Also, ext3 should be fine for most custom ROMs. In fact, not all ROMs support ext4.

- Another quick way is to install quick system info from the Market, it tells you infos about your system, including the use of your a2sd partition.... ;-)
- About ext 2/3/4 I would advise the use of ext3, as ext4 is poorly supported by Roms (even those who pretend seem to have issues...)

Does the decrease of available internal storage means apps22sd+ is not working? I've partitioned twice and installed seperate 2.2 roms with apps2sd+ included and every time I install more things I see internal storage drop.
You should see your app directory pointing to /system/sd/app and app-private pointing to /system/sd/app-private

Not in itself, no. Those symbolic links mean that A2SD is working fine. However, from what I understand about the theory, even A2SD installs a part of the app into the internal memory. That may explain the drop you see. By the way, how much free memory do you see on your device? I usually have about 140 MB free on my Desire. I read somewhere that if A2SD wasn't working, that figure would be about 90 MB.

108 free total of 148
I just recently opened spare parts apps where it allowed me to change where apps2sd installs things. By default it was set to automatic and I'm guessing that was causing the problem. I set it to external and tried installing a browser while my disk was mounted and it wouldn't let me do it. Then I set it to charge mode and it installed normally.
Some roms probably default to external while some automatic.
edit: Just installed an app that I previously installed while using "automatic" and it still uses up internal storage instead of A2SD storage. Dunno what's wrong. I am using ext2 partitioned through rom manager.

Trouble with MIUI Apps2sd+

I'm having trouble getting apps2sd+ to work on the MIUI rom. I've used rom manager to partition the card and when i go to sd settings its showing the partition as apps2sd+ but when i download apps it seems to be using the partiton and the phone memory? Also when i go on titanium backup it doesnt show the partition at all???

Try using an app from the Android Marketplace called Quick System Info to check that is it working correctly. Your internal memory may still go down as only portions of the apps (i.e. data) you install are sent to the sd card's ext partition.

The partition worked but its saving all the app on the phone memory as well as the sd card

Thats impossible, the way apps2sd works, it moves the /data/app/ directory to the SD-EXT... as masdroid explaned, the reason your internal storage is decreasing is apps2sd dosent move the data/data directory, this remains on the internal storage, some apps use a large amount of space in /data/data/ some use none at all. but from what i have read, your apps2sd is working pefectly

I am having the same issue. When I use 'File Manager', I see a folder sd-ext but there is nothing in there.
I've already went through Systems >> Settings >> Manage Applications and moved all my apps (the ones allowed) onto the SD. I don't know where or what folder it's actually being saved in though.
I used ROM Manager to partition the SD card. I even went through 'Terminal' to do the commands that would push it to the ext3 but I'm still not understanding what I'm doing wrong.
I'm on the latest version of MIUI. Can someone please help me?

The MIUI rom has a2sd desactivate by default, you have to put -> a2sd reinstall in a terminal then reboot and finish with -> a2sd cachesd
EDIT: First you have to write -> su

You need to turn it on yourself

Hi anthack01, thanks for the response. So that means any apps that I have moved to the SD already (based on the cupcake process) will have to be redownload again?
Also, if I upgrade to a newer version of MIUI, I would have to do this process via Terminal each and every time?

The apps you moved to SD card (FAT32-partition) should be moved back on internal storage.
No, you don't have to do that (as far as I remember).

[Q] a2sd problems on ICS

Hey,
I've been using ICS (beta 0.4.2.1 now, beta 0.3.9 previously) and none of the a2sd scripts seem to be working. I tried to use the one you have to activate through adb, and today when I updated to 0.4.2.1 I chose another one from the installer. My phone still reports 148 MB of internal storage...
I've had a thorough search of similar threads, but you know how difficult it is to find any meaningful information on this forum; can someone please point me in the right direction? Thank you!

I flashed ICS and installed the bundled a2sd script and it worked like the script on Insertcoin. That is the system still displayed the data partition size of my hboot but the SD ext4 partition was utilised for apps. If you have titanium backup you can see the data usage on the home screen.
I also flashed amarullz script. This script did change the reported internal memory to my SD card partition size. I did not use it long so I can't comment on how it runs on s class 4 SD card.

You did not understand how A2SD works. It moves all apps (with A2SD+ also dalvik-cache) you install automatically to an EXT-partition (some of their data still remain in internal memory). But it does not increase / decrease the size of internal memory.
If you want to change the size of internal memory, you have to use a script which moves the whole /data-partition to an EXT-partition. The size of this partition is then the size of your internal memory. The name of this scripts is DATA2SD / DATA2EXT.

Did you ever get a fix for your problem?
I have something similar. Was running 0.3.9. and decided for a couple days ago to upgrade to a newer edition. Wiped data/factory reset, wiped cached and dalvik-cache, and installed the new version.
Used stock everything, activated a2sd and tried to start and install some apps from google play. Got a message that it was not sufficient space.
Did get titanium installed, and that reports the different "drives" correctly, but I still don't get it to work as it should. If I try to install from play, it says not sufficient space, even if I try to restore from titanium, still no luck.
Anyone got any ideas?

Start Terminal. Type:
su
a2sd install
yes (move dalvik-cache)
no (don't move appdata) (yes will make device slower)
yes (restart)
After reboot you have more space, but don't see it.
Start terminal
su
a2sd diskspace
gives the size of your sd-ext and how much is used

App and appdata are different things:
The App it's the "core" and are loaded in the RAM when you start them, so if you move them to sdcard you get a slowdown only on the boot of the app itself
The Appdata it's the data created and used by the program to run, likes databases and so; if you move it to the sdcard you get a slowdown 'cause the program continuosly try to access it.
someone correct me if I'm wrong, i'm still learning the stuff
Long story short: normal A2SD+ methods (like DarkTremor or m2sd) only move a part of /data, linking the files; you will NOT see the increased space but your Apps will occupy less memory.
Data2sd method like data2sd or Amarullz A2SDX will "swap" the ext space with the internal data memory, giving you a visible increase in your internal space.
TL;DR if you have a fast SD card you can go for the latter, else stick to m2sd wich is a new and good method to move application!
For partitioning, I suggest you to use 4ext touch recovery, you can install it on your phone from 4ext.net and flash your new recovery directly from your phone (you need to have S-OFF!); after you have your new recovery flashed:
make a backup of your SD card data (you have to format it)
Reboot in recovery
Go to "Tools"
"partition sd card ->"
"Remove all partitions and start from scratch"
Now you have to set, in order, you primary ext dimension, your secondary ext dimension and the swap dimension
I usually go for - 1st ext: 1024 -2nd ext: 0 - swap: 0
Select ext4 for your first ext partition
Now you are ready to use wathever a2sd method you want.
Hope this will help you!
Regards,
Ryther

Ahh I'm just going to leave this here.
All the ICS Devs have done a great job - Kudos to them.
But if you want a bugfree ROM which works well, for now - GIVE UP on ICS.
Go back to CM7 - it'll do you good.

Don't give up on ICS because SOME people have issues. I've ran an ICS build with a2sd working just fine no bugs whatsoever. I have not tried a data2ext script on an ICS build though so I don't know about that.

on stock android 4.2 u could actually use app2sd to move some apps to external storage
using Cyanogenmode 4.3 based Carbon MOD i found that i no longer can do that, tried app2sd and link2sd
i read somewhere that external storage is defined in system PATH variables, dont know how relevant that is but seems connected
but i honestly dont know yet much about the android platform to fix this issue myself, so i might be wrong
we need some pro tip help

Yes this would be awesome, but seems that cmod has gone moneymaking company and tries to make cmod to google standards which means they have been starting to remove/hiding features. Their goal now is to make installing cmod without cwm and to remove root or have it as optional feature. Or all this is what I gathered over the net, but I still hope some other custom rom could have this feature.
Edit:
All of the above may not be like that nowadays, and this is somewhat speculation since there hasn't(?) been an official statement from cm about app2sd support. Though emulated sdcard may require something different.

About two months ago I upgraded my Xoom to JB 4.2.2, and because space was limited, I hadn't noticed whether I could move operating programs to the external card or not. This was a custom rom. Well, I was using a 32 Gig card that was nearly full of data.
This last week, I invested in a 64 Gig sdhc card and upgraded my rom to Kit-Kat 4.4.2. Thus its also a custom rom, but now I find that though, for the most part, I can designate the external card to store and access data from, I can't run programs from it. Hmm!
Here I am with all this memory. Sure wish I had better management options.

Can I check with you what bug this fixes?
Ability to use app2sd?

I use FolderMount and works real well. No need to partitioning sd card.

I've gotten to getting Link2SD working on the GT-I9195 with nightly 20140402 KitKat.
Based loosely on [Tutorial/HOWTO] Convert Your External SD Card from FAT/exFAT to EXT4! (3 ways!)
1. Clear everything out of your external SD card. We're gonna be formatting it so you'll have to backup your data.
2. Boot up into recovery and have a working ADB environment setup on your computer
3. adb shell (Do NOT mount your /storage/sdcard1)
5. Check that you have fdisk and mke2fs installed (Type fdisk --help and mke2fs --help ensure they don't throw up errors)
6. fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk1
7. Type o and Enter to destroy the partition table
8. Type n to create a new partition. Make sure its Primary (p). Select first partition and choose how many cylinders you want to allocate to it.
9. Type n to create your second partition. Again, make sure its Primary (p). Leave cylinder allocation blank to use remainder of space by default.
10. Verify partition layout by typing p to show partition layout.
11. Exit fdisk and save changes by typing w
12. mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
13. mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
14. reboot
15. Once CM has booted up, check if your external storage partition 1 has been mounted. It should be mounted at /mnt/media_rw/sdcard1
16. Try creating a folder in /mnt/media_rw/sdcard1 and /storage/sdcard1 to test if your read/write permissions are correct.
17. Install DiskInfo from playstore to check if your second partition is visible
18. Once done, install Link2SD and select ext4 when prompted to ask what kind of filesystem your 2nd partition is.
19. Reboot after Link2SD installs scripts.
20. Voila!
Let me know if there are any issues. I modified several files while doing this so not sure if any of them affected.
Should #16 not work, try:
1. Going to /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml and adding media_rw group to the element that only has sdcard_r group in it.
2. Typing mount in Terminal Emulator (su) or adb shell and see whether your partitions are mounted. If you're not sure, post the output out here.
Final mount output (filtered with mmcblk1 or sdcard stuff):
Code:
/dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /data/sdext2 ext4 rw,seclabel,relatime,data=ordered 0 0

EDIT 2: *** IMPORTANT!! Do NOT select External in the App2SD option in Link2SD. Otherwise you will not be able to install any apps from the Play Store (Insufficient Storage error)

I use GL to SD on my Slimrom: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slf.ListglApp
It may not have fancy UI like FolderMount or Link2SD, and it slight complex to use. But it works on per app basis, without re-partition too.

Hi leripe !
I have got the same device and ROM like you and i would like to know if you have found a solution to move apps to the sdcard ?
Thank you in advance, regards.

If it non system apps, you can use GL to SD as I provide the link already above. It works.

Nope, sorry. I tried this tool and it work so never bother to look for another one.
If GL to SD doesn't have the app you want to move, you can manually link the app and the relevant folder at GL to SD settings. After you linked them, at the main page of apps you can tell it to start to move.

This thread shows up on google for me when trying to figure out why minitool partition wizard doesn't detect my phone at all. The guide I'm following says USB-SDcard reader is required but is that really true?? Surely there is a way to mount the SDcard at a low enough level to partition it without addition hardware?? Even if I have to mount it using TWRP recovery or something I would think it's possible. Anyone know?
