Root app2sd question for a rooted phone ?

atmasters · Dec 23, 2010

ok I just rooted my phone with Unrevoked 3.2.1 today and want to be able to move apps to my sd card. I have read a few threads about flashing and roms but before I do this does anyone have a simple way to do this and the best rom ? I use Launcher pro and would hate to lose anything. For me right now it is all about memory

asking in the wrong section, should be in the rooting section
also read the faq there, youll find most of your questions answered

atmasters · Dec 23, 2010

I'm using LeeDroid's ROM. Sense, stable, A2SD+, better battery life. Me =

Do lots of reading in the rooting forum, the FAQs in DanFrance's sig and on XDA forums.
I found this thread very useful.

Great thanks for the info Were did you go to get the Rom ? Will it work with Launcher Pro ?

[FroYo Sense] LeeDrOiD V2.3b (17/12 l Official l OC&UV l FAST l STABLE l WWE) - xda-developers

I can't imagine it wouldn't work with Launcher Pro although I've not used it myself.

SUroot · Dec 23, 2010

Launcherpro will work on any rom.

Also people, please read my apps2sd+ FAQ. It gets worrying when people mention they want to move apps to SD. Reading the FAQ should clear that one up

atmasters · Dec 23, 2010

I still cant find a clear place to down load the rom from ??

oh ok lol sorry about that I see you posted that already. Just to be safe you have to down load this by a torant right ? I will read up more about this before I go ahead and do it. I just partitioned my sd card so I should be good to go I hope..

atmasters · Dec 23, 2010

how easy is it to use from Rom Manager ?

SUroot · Dec 24, 2010

It's too easy

No need to download via torrent. Just use Lee's dropbox area. It's in the wiki linked to in the first post on the xda site above.

ok I so want to do this I do not know why I am so nervous of doing it. I was scared to root my phone but that turned out to be so easy. I would like to try Lee Droid. Now when I do this will every thing still be the same If I use Launcher Pro ? By that I mean the Market and my maps contacts will still be there ?

Ok so I have read your thread on apps2sd and did the partition but I can not move all my apps to my phone memory since I do not have that much room ? if I have all my apps backed up in Astro will I be able to get them back and put them on my sd card ?

you do have that much room as it links secretly to you ext partition you created
i take it you created this partition then applied the a2sd script on a rom that supports it right?

I have not flashed a rom yet. I am backing up all my apps right now with Titanium then I am going to breath and flash a rom lol. Just looking for a good step by step instructions on this...

atmasters · Dec 27, 2010

one other question when backing things up to Titanium do I need to back up everything or just apps ? There is a lot of htc sence stuff in there..

its not good to backup system stuff or sense stuff
just apps you need etc

i was misreading you as i think you were misunderstanding danfrance.

once you have a rom that supports a2sd+ and its working
when you install apps make sure they are on the phone memory and if they are not then move them to the phone memory in "applications>sdcard" as a2sd+ works by linking to the internal storage.

backup your apps with titanium
wipe the device via recovery
install a rom with a2sd+ support
install apps from titanium
job done

I have made a partisjon on my sd card with ext3 and got the system installed on that partisjon.
I have a LeDroid ROM whith A2SD+.
Then I rolled back a Titanium backup of my apps and data.
With all my apps back, the internal memory got up to almost 60% full, even I moved my apps to sd-card.
I've tried to move apps back and forward between sd-card and phone memory, but the phone memory is still the same.
Read somewhere that apps moves automatic to sd if apps is installed in phone memory, it did'nt happen.
I have tried so much but I'm stuck!

Excuse my bad english writing.

Apps should be on internal memory.

So its 60% full. What's the problem? What does quick system info say about a2sd?

Rastaman-FB · Dec 27, 2010

ive noticed with titanium backup that before it restores a file it caches it in /data
so it appears you have no space left as all the apps are cached before it installs

if you do a reboot afterwards the a2sd script corrects it as the cache is cleared
