Hi guys, regarding partitioning SD card to use Apps2SD+ features, can I set 1GB in the ext3 instead of 512MB?

Make swap=0, ext3= 1024, fat32 = balance

Is the above setting to be when using ROM Manager to partition? blush.gif

bryan_823 - for some reasons many developers don't recommend an ext3 partition more than 512MB...

I've had it set to 768MB but I saw in QuickSystem Info it's only 688MB - no idea why. But still it's very fast to me and no issue using it smile.gif But at the end of the day I guess 512MB is more than enough

Thanks for advice.

Btw, I just rooted my phone (Can see Superuser Permission in Application Menu). I have installed Titanium backup from Market but when running it, it say the following:

"Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This application will not work ! Please verify that your ROM is rooted and includes Busybox, and try again" rclxub.gif

Any idea? I tried install busybox also failed. hmm.gif

brayn_823 - How did you try to install busybox? have you tried to click on the "Problems" button in Titanium and click on "Yes, Do it" button?

The problem solved now. I had to upgrade my Titanium backup to a later version and install Busybox again, this time the busybox was successful. biggrin.gif

Hi guys, some questions on restoring backups. (I just rooted and flashed custom ROM)

Before flashing to new ROM I have backuped apps + data using Titanium backup and MyBackUp pro.

1) I want to restore back all apps which previously installed, the apps data and phone settings. Which program I should use for restore? Titanium or MyBackup Pro? If I use Titanium back which restore option I should choose?

2) I have imported all my contacts back, however, the contact links to FB were all lost. Any way to restore back the contacts link to FB or I have to manually link them 1 by 1 manually?

Please advise, thanks. smile.gif

Hi Benny, thanks for help.

Before that, there are a few options available when you Press Menu button > Batch:
1) Restore missing apps with data
2) Restore missing apps + all system data
3) Restore newer versions of user apps
4) Restore all apps with data

I just wan to avoid conflict or overwritten in some system apps which was a later version sweat.gif

It's because the SD card is mounted as Read Only.

To rectify:-
Just connect your phone to the PC, Connect the SD as Disk Drive.
Right click your SD drive, goto Properties, Run Scandisk under tools tab, Start it with Auto fix on.
Let it do its magic, safely remove your drive when finish and whoila~! Your Read Only woes are gone! wink.gif

P/S: I think this can be added to the FAQ.

Thanks, it solved my problems. rclxms.gif

Yes, i think this should be in FAQ. Programs/apps may not function properly if the SD card was mounted as READ only. I had lots of problems before this and most of them solved now. icon_idea.gif

Too bad was not able to take lenglui pictures during SIS Appreciation Nite at 1 World Hotel last nite cry.gif

But I just wondering how come the SD card was mounted as READ only. I was using the same SD card before flashing to custom ROM, everything was working well. Which part of the flashing process actually the system has set the SD card as READ only? hmm.gif

Hi guys, Im on NextSense5.3 custom ROM with A2SD+, still wondering how does the A2SD+ works actually.

I have installed some apps and noticed (From Quick System info) following:
1) Some apps are entirely installed into A2SD. (A2SD storage was decreased, no changes on Internal memory)
2) Some apps are installed into A2SD but also decreases slightly on Internal memory.
3) Some apps (Eg Rock player v7) are installed entirely on internal memory. (No changes on A2SD storage at all)
4) Some apps (Eg Rock player v7) has the option to "Move to SD card" (From setting > manage application). Should I move to SD card for such apps which have this option? It will move to FAT32 in the SD card right? (So the A2SD partition and internal memory storage will not be affected which in a way will safe more space?)

Anyone can advise? thanks. smile.gif
