Guest zorm Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 You don't need to do anything else. Existing apps will have been moved to sd & any you install from now on will go to sd. App data & the Dalvik cache remain on internal flash however, so you will still see some decrease in available internal flash as you install apps.

Guest Snarkasm Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 On your device, open a shell (install Better Terminal or whatever you like), type su and hit enter to get to SU mode, then type "ls -l /data" and make sure that /app, /app-private, and /dalvik-cache are redirected to /system/sd/app or /system/sd/dalvik-cache, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nikosrs4 Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 (edited) it says system/sd/ etc for these folders but me too am getting internal space decreasing. it's weird nevertheless. Edited May 5, 2010 by nikosrs4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PaulW21781 Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Internal space will decrease slightly even with /data/app, /data/app-private and /data/dalvik-cache moved to the SD card, purely because /data/data still remains on the internal memory. Moving /data/data causes quite a few issues, so moving it is not recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Socrathyme Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I hope this thread still works. I made a partition on my SD card with Mini Tool Partition Wizard Home Edition, then applied app2sd. I am perplexed as to why my phone STILL claims it is running out of space, and won't let me install anything else even though apps are supposed to go now on the new partition at the SD card. Please help. i have flashed and updated rom from the online kitchen.. with ap2sd.. but after setting up my sd card partitions (ext3 5120mb) (rest on FAT32) and then installing an app, im still losing space on my internal...
