I have been looking for this also, and it seems that we need a boot.img that lets us use apps2sd (modules) also some scripts to run the process... ill see what i can dig up.

got it, and it's a good version of ROM (1.1) but i also don't know what to understand about apps2sd :-(

i see fat partition, but not the 500mb partition created with linkconn recovery boot :-(

adb shell

# df

df

/dev: 76812K total, 0K used, 76812K available (block size 4096)

/sqlite_stmt_journals: 4096K total, 0K used, 4096K available (block size 4096)

/system: 131072K total, 85896K used, 45176K available (block size 4096)

/data: 197376K total, 41732K used, 155644K available (block size 4096)

/cache: 91520K total, 1416K used, 90104K available (block size 4096)

/sdcard: 1440524K total, 1233564K used, 206960K available (block size 4096)

EDIT: still nothing found to make apps2sd work, or to see effect of this app... :(

you cant see your extra partition as its not mounted. df & mount only show mounted partitions. use fdisk -l devname instead.

in my mind no modules are needed as ext2 support is kernel-included (unless acer retire it). could you tell me wich modules you are thinking of. For me we just needed to add an extra script on init.

I will have a look on monday.

I tried APPS2SD. I think it works.

I post my procedure like this.

First, partition created with linkconn recovery boot (it will lost SD all data).

And then check partition in recovery mode by ADB shell df.

You will see /system/sd is mount.

Reboot into OS.

In Android you won't see in "df" command, but the "/system/sd" can be found.

and use ADB shell follow below command. Can be found internet:

mkdir /system/sd/app

# cd /data

cd /data

# cp -a app /system/sd/app

cp -a app /system/sd/app

# rm -r app

rm -r app

# ln -s /system/sd/app /data/app

ln -s /system/sd/app /data/app

# reboot

reboot

My prcedure is a little defferent. Because I don't have "cp" command. So I...

ADB pull /data/app app

ADB push app /system/sd/app

ADB shell rm -R /data/app

ADB shell ln -s /system/sd/app /data/app

ADB reboot

That's it.

You procedure seems strange. ADB push /system/sd/app (maybe you forgot on parameter) but the principe is good.

On monday, I will try to work on it too, so apps2sd works directly from recovery console. Ext2 partition backup with nandroid seems to works and reco is now compatible with both 1.6 and 2.0

Yes, your are right.

It should be "ADB push app /system/sd/app"

Mean push app directory back to /system/sd/app

You should check those files copy correctlly! Then remove (rm) /data/app directory.

Good luck to you.

New procedue for safety:

ADB shell ls /system

(Check is there a SD directory?)

ADB pull /data/app app

ADB push app /system/sd/app

(All /data/app have a backup in your PC, you still can restore to /data/app if you have problem!)

(Chcek the COPY is OK?)

ADB shell ls /system/sd/app

(All app show here)

(Continue to remove /data/app)

ADB shell rm -R /data/app

ADB shell ln -s /system/sd/app /data/app

ADB reboot

will try tomorrow :(

but as linux user, you do nothing more that create a symbolic link from /system/apps to sdcard ... my question is : what apps2sd do exactly?

because in my mind, such should be possible whitout "apps2sd" thing... :-)

The fact is that the sd card ext paritition in which apps are stored is not automaticaly mounted on boot. So the link points to nowhere. ACR and Community rom inclde sd card parition mounting, so the are able to work.

I included infos for developer in my recovery post.

In fact there is a bug in community rom. Ext partition is not mounted on boot. I have opened an issue for that.
