Does app2sd install apps automatically to partition or does it give you a choice where to install?

If app2sd is on then apps will be installed to the ext2 partition.

No this is not an application which is installed to the phone. It modifies system settings to mount the selected folders from the sd card's ext2 partition.If you see /data/app and the other selected folders mounted in the check screen then it is working.

Thanks m8. What is the check screen?

Did you restart the phone after applied app2sd (menu 6) ?
When you selected the menu 1 or 4 did it showed Data Copying or unable to mount ext2 ?

If usb debugging is on and select menu 8 you should see something similar :

How the script works :
It copies the contents of the selected folders to the sd ext2 partition . It does not removes the copied files from the phone , because in the case of sd failure or sd removal the phone will be able to bootup. The removal process removes the files and directories needed to app2sd operate normally , but leaves the ext2 untouched.
To use it you need to turn on the USB Debugging mode on the phone .Create the ext2 if not exists .The first partitition should be FAT if your card is smaller than 4GB and should be FAT32 if bigger than 4 GB. The second partition should be ext2. Both partition must be primary.
Dont forget to restart the phone and turn off mass storage mode after creation of the ext2.Download the zip file , extract it and run autorootapp2sd.bat on your pc.
You can use app2sd even if your phone is not rooted.
The attached pdf contains the guide how to create the ext2.
MOD:
The script has the possibilities to turn on root. The root and unroot function is the same as 1 click root .

Thankyou so much :-)
you really helped me and it works too
and i really appreciate your help that you provided in your step-by-step guide
I am a noob in android ,can you please also provide me help regarding custom roms and cynogens ...i dont know what they are and are they safe?

Once again thanks man for your help

thx for the one-click. got one question though.

i want to use the recovery rom, it says u need to put the fat partition in the last. and is that compatible with your method?

i want to try all possibilities in my gt540

thx again.

Everytime I install app2sd, everything works fine till, for no reason, errors start to appear out of nowhere, so many errors I can't even use the phone no more. Every method I've tried leads to the same result. What could be wrong? :S

Joestone,

I seem to be having similar problems, I have installed the Australia Optus 2.1 update and using your app2sd I can't use #4 option keep getting errors. My #8 is attached but I only have 113mg internal available space? Would that be right as when I used the Baltic version I had 125mg.

too big a partition size, try making a smaller one, maybe around 400 meg., or the card is dying(Ext will use up the finite writes on a card, so can kill a card quicker, with all the journaling it does), faulty phone..you name it, roll a dice, for a problem, it could be a couple of things.
