Root Gingervillain apps2sd working properly?

[extremejoe]

using gingervillain rom

i wanna know if my apps2sd is working properly

quick system info says yes

but when i install a new app my phones internal memory goes down

have i messed up?

 

[SUroot]

Ok.

did you read the first post in the gingervillain thread on XDA? Did you move your dalvik cache to EXT?

i didn't no

how's that possible?

Thought I'd hinted to that already

read the first post in the gingervillain thread on XDA

Or read the FAQ for apps2sd+ in my sig. Look for the dark tremor section

will i have to flash the rom again?

cus i've got everything running nicely at the mo

 

[SUroot]

You have to do this in the rom.

 

[extremejoe]

You have to do this in the rom.

so download that terminal thing - type the code in and all should be fine?

 

[SUroot]

Yeppers.

 

[extremejoe]

so will my phones internal memory still go down like it says in your sig dan?

i don't want to be getting that low internal space error

 

[SUroot]

It will always go down. App cache is still there, but when I moved Dalvik cache, I saved 40-50MB.

But essentially it will still go down, but slowly.

so we'd both eventually run out of space? and get low space error?

 

[SUroot]

You may never run out of space. Depends what you install etc.

I dont think I will though

I have a custom Partition Layout. Gingervillain is small (150MB) and Mine is stripped even smaller (115MB there abouts).

The system partition is 250MB, so you've wasted 100MB there already (more

I have stripped my rom down and got 120MB for /system and 25MB for /Cache so now my /data partition is 293MB

 

[extremejoe]

i think i've done it dan - regained loads of space

so do i leave default install location to internal memory?

 

[SUroot]

Excellent and yes

 

[extremejoe]

Excellent and yes

cheers man

helpful as always

if you allow me one quick, dumb question regarding GV and app2sd

i did the "app2sd cachesd" thingy from xda dev already

I set the default installation to "external" (in settings > Cyanogenmod > Application > install location)

but i can't use widgets from apps unless I go to manage apps and "move back to phone" (in Manage applications). Is that normal? Or am I mixing something up here?

 

[SUroot]

it should be set to "internal" as a2sd script uses SD-ext, operating by moving "internal" apps to the EXT partition.

"External" is the FAT32 partition, as with "move to SD" in froyo. Set it back to internal
