a2sd check : a2sd status -displays information as where your apps/ cache/ data are placed
a2sd cachesd : to move Dalvik-cache to /sd-ext partition of sdcard you get at least 40-50 MB free on internal memory and I think that's great because this phone's internal memory is only 160 MB
a2sd nocache : move Dalvik back to the internal memory well do this if you experience low performance or system errors ( apps will crash) it is possible if you have a poor quality sdcard for me it works without problems
a2sd datasd : /data/data to /sd-ext/data to get even more free space
a2sd nodata : move back to internal memory
a2sd reinstall : move apps to external /sd-ext partition - it's not possible to move all apps
a2sd remove : move all apps back to internal
a2sd help : even more ! get a full list of commands available
NOTES
1. It is very important to move everything to sd-ext to get as much as possible free space on internal memory so move cache/application data/applications on sd-ext ! Above image is from my phone with ~ 40-50 installed apps -I got low-space message from phone of course; note that on some poor quality sdcards you can experiment crashes /hard-soft reboots then only solution is to buy a better quality sd card do not forget that important system files are placed/ cached here for now !
This is the way to keep hundreds of applications installed !
2. in order for a2sd to work on this phone as you know... firstly enter Recovery Mode and format sdcard to add an ext partition - in Menu select Advanced/ Partition SD Card
3.every app2sd app from Market work by pushing only parts of that app to sdcard it means that your internal memory becomes overwhelmed at one time... and some apps displaying a widget will not work (widget is not shown on workspace) well, a2sd has no limitations everything depends of your sdcard size and widgets will work just because this application uses an /ext partition not a /fat one - /ext is mounted to the system correctly /fat has some problems with "rights" so widgets will work only for this great a2sd application/ toolset in fact ! - thanks again Darktremor

Hi, is it possible to backup he whole thing after having moved the apps and cache to sd ?
ReplyDeleteWhen i put back a backup made before the move it works, btu when i try to put back a backup made after the move, it doesn't. And of course, it's after the move that i put all my apps since this is when there is space for them!
I would really appreciate if you or someone else could help me!
