Guest hillmie87 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Posted October 27, 2010 A total noob here, just got my desire yesterday and have been playing with root and custom roms. I even semi bricked it, lol. but luckily i've restored it to original setting and fix all issues. Now, I've decided to settle with AuraxTSense v7.9 Rom, and one of its features is app2sd. From my undestanding, app2sd is superior than a2sd+, correct? i've partitioned my sdhc memory card using paragon partition manager (around 6gb FAT32, and around 600mb for linux ext3). But i'm not sure what I'm doing, and how to determine that app2sd is working on my phone. basically, I understand what it's for, but i dont quite get how to use it. anyone willing to help?

Guest hillmie87 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Posted October 27, 2010 Not to self publicise but: http://android.modaco.com/index.php?s=&...t&p=1399997 I've read your post before, and it is indeed informative. However, after doing abit more research, i understand that phone memory should show higher available space than 98mb that i'm currently having, otherwise, my Apps2sd isn't working properly. grr. i'm still confuse whether ive done this correctly or not. Could anyone kindly write/point me to the latest method to get apps2sd+/a2sd+/apps2sd working on my htc desire?

Format the card properly (FAT32 then EXT3 and no blank space in between <-- I learned that the hard way) 2. Install rom 3. Use Quick system info or similar to check that A2SD is working You can use the last step to check if A2SD is working now. Edited October 27, 2010 by bpivk

Guest hillmie87 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Posted October 27, 2010 3. Use Quick system info or similar to check that A2SD is working You can use the last step to check if A2SD is working now. thanks, i've checked using quick system info, and the a2sd is there, i've tried installing flashplayer 10.1. before installing flash: sd card storage: free 4.7gb a2sd storage free: 475mb system storage free: 107mb internal storage free: 107mb after installing flash: sd card storage: free 4.7gb a2sd storage free: 475mb system storage free: 98.25mb internal storage free: 98.25mb which pretty much mean that my partition didn't work. I think... :P A complete noob here. sigh.
Guest woti17 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Posted October 27, 2010 thanks, i've checked using quick system info, and the a2sd is there, i've tried installing flashplayer 10.1. before installing flash: sd card storage: free 4.7gb a2sd storage free: 475mb system storage free: 107mb internal storage free: 107mb after installing flash: sd card storage: free 4.7gb a2sd storage free: 475mb system storage free: 98.25mb internal storage free: 98.25mb which pretty much mean that my partition didn't work. I think... : A complete noob here. sigh. no, that seems right, flashplayer stores a library with 7.4 MB + other data to internal memory not to sd root@localhost://data/data# >du -sh ./com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so 7.3M ./com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so thats quite right and plausibile, data is stored in /data/data which is internal memory - only the programs themself go to ext partition also as i said before - aura has system overlay so keep in mind that you get always the same memory for /system and for /data free, but its only one time free - for you as you said 98MB free - which you can use for /system rw or /data rw, but where ever you store it, both directories will have the same amount less space available
Guest [email protected] Posted October 28, 2010 Report Posted October 28, 2010 Some apps still need or use some phone memory for data...so the memory goes down.....maybe use a cache cleaner like CacheMate from market with kind regards..Alex
Guest hillmie87 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Posted October 28, 2010 ah, ok. cool. thanks for clearing the confusion guys. :P
Guest trstn Posted October 28, 2010 Report Posted October 28, 2010 Grab 'quick system info' from the market, that'll give you a breakdown of phone, apps2sd(+) and other usage.
