I would recommend FLB 1.7

Guest Daz555 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 i am using flb mod 1.6 on 2.1 which i am happy with,but does not have a2sd,which custom rom is similar to this that has a2sd plz All FLB mods have A2SD enabled by default. You just need to partition your SD card correctly and it will start working straight away. As said earlier - the Ultimate guide is where you should go for how to do this.
Guest iwol Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 So can i still use a2sd and setup swap even withot reinstalling the flb mod and what the difference between 1.6 and 1.7 thanks

Only minor updates from 1.6 to 1.7. Check the FLB Mod1 thread as fibble is very informative. You will be able to check status of as2d after you have done the necessary partioning via the terminal emulator application: su a2sd check You can also use this to move your dalvik cache to sd to free up some more space: su (if not done already above) a2sd cachesd Edited January 27, 2011 by Daz555

Guest pinkstuff Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 i know nothing of apps2sd and the like but after i install my custom rom on to my pulse mini - i can have as much apps as i want - the internal memory reads 76mb and thats with hundreds of apps - i tried the same thing with different roms and even the stock rom and it filled up real quick..so i was not sure if the apps2sd did it automatically i am not sure..

On custom ROMs like FLB Mod, A2SD works automatically as long as you have partitioned your SD card correctly.
Guest Roger Barnett Posted November 21, 2011 Report Posted November 21, 2011 Hi there I am getting the same problem with internal memory filling and it's really frustrating. A2SD does not seem to work. Under 'phone storage' Total Space 90.25MB Available space 12.73MB (It has been as low as 9MB at times) I am running Cyanogen Mod Plus (Froyo 2.2) On my pulse. I have followed the Ultimate pulse guide and formatted / partitioned my 8Gb, Class 10 SD card as follows: The EXT2 Partion is 512Mb size, with a swap of 32Mb (these values were recommended). a2sd check yields the following:- # a2sd check [ ] Apps2SD is launching... __ _____ | \ | | | | |__/ | Darktremor Apps2SD 2.7.5.2-1 (2011-01-02) [ ] GetProp Command = /system/bin/toolbox getprop [ ] SetProp Command = /system/bin/toolbox setprop [ ] Mount Point = /sd-ext [ ] Starting Apps2SD Check Program. [ ] Checking for ext partition Darktremor 2.7.5.2-1 Apps2SD Status Report =================================================================================== Legend: [*]=Setting is correct [!]=Setting is correct, but not optimal. [X]=Setting is incorrect and needs to be fixed or option is not available. =================================================================================== Block Device - [*] Found - [*] /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 EXT Partition - [*] Mounted Mount Point - [ ] /sd-ext Partition Type - [*] EXT2 Support EXT2? - [*] Yes Support EXT3? - [X] No Support EXT4? - [X] No Apps - [ ] Linked to SD Card. [ ] No Apps2SD Flag File not found. [*] Programs run from SD card To run from internal storage, type a2sd remove Private Apps - [ ] Linked to SD Card. [ ] No Apps2SD Flag File not found. [*] Private Programs run from SD card To run from internal storage, type a2sd remove Dalvik Cache - [ ] Symbolically Linked. [ ] Dalvik to SD flag file found. [*] Dalvik runs from SD card To run from internal storage, type a2sd nocache To run from /cache partition, type a2sd cachepart Swap - [ ] Partition present. [ ] Swap partition: /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 [ ] No Swap flag file not found. [*] Swap starts. To deactivate swap, type a2sd noswap [ ] Note: Not all ROMS activate swap. So the above suggests that, although I'm installing apps on SD card, and Dalvik is running from SD, I'm still losing internal memory somewhere. I also performed a 'df', in case it reveals anything else:- $df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on tmpfs 53704 12 53692 0% /dev tmpfs 53704 0 53704 0% /mnt/asec /dev/block/mtdblock1 102400 99644 2756 97% /system /dev/block/mtdblock2 92416 78344 14072 85% /data /dev/block/mtdblock3 20480 1204 19276 6% /cache /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 468331 85246 358100 19% /sd-ext /dev/block/vold/179:1 7266048 552180 6713868 8% /mnt/sdcard df: /mnt/secure/asec: Permission denied /dev/block/dm-0 4164 2768 1396 66% /mnt/asec/com.adobe.reader-1 /dev/block/dm-1 5200 3300 1900 63% /mnt/asec/com.facebook.katana-2 /dev/block/dm-2 5200 3404 1796 65% /mnt/asec/mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser-2 /dev/block/dm-3 3124 1364 1760 44% /mnt/asec/novoda.tastecard-1 /dev/block/dm-4 20764 19104 1660 92% /mnt/asec/com.rovio.angrybirds-1 /dev/block/dm-5 7276 6004 1272 83% /mnt/asec/com.google.android.apps.maps-1 /dev/block/dm-6 6236 4524 1712 73% /mnt/asec/com.adobe.flashplayer-1 /dev/block/dm-7 5200 3732 1468 72% /mnt/asec/it.navionics.europeWest-1 /dev/block/dm-8 5200 3372 1828 65% /mnt/asec/com.ebay.mobile-1 /dev/block/dm-9 2088 676 1412 32% /mnt/asec/de.ub0r.android.websms-1 Can anybody see what am I doing wrong?
