Hi there is a person on here who i have seen on there profile who has 238 mbs of space on there x10 mini/pro on here can you tell me how you did that as i have app2sd on and my internal spaces is running at 98 mbs of space now i would of wrote to that person but i cant find the page no more
and i think this would help allot of users out who struggling for more space on internal space for more apps on there phone
can anyone tell me what i can remove on my system what is not needed sony comapainon for example how is that removed and is that a big file must be

Mate, you could write in a smaller font. I'm sure that anyone in here can read
Anyways, NONE can have 238Mb of free internal as the total amount of it is 220Mb.
However you could have more than 200Mb of free internal, if you move your dalvik-cache on your ext2 (as long as you have app2sd).

and moving the dalvik-cache is just as easy as moving other folders?
like cut and paste?
no scripts or anything to tell the system where it's gone to?

ozzy no mate, some scripting is involved..
issue these commands through adb shell:
Code:
busybox cp -a /data/dalvik-cache /system/sd/
rm -r /data/dalvik-cache
ln -s /system/sd/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache
In order to do this, you must have busybox installed (not the one from Titanium Backup) and a fast sdcard.

OK so yes i also have seen that person around, and same ive lost the page too. But i think what that person has done is move like 90% of apps in /system/app to /data/app which ends up being on sd with apps2sd. But i take no resposiblilty if you move something needed for boot or anything like that, i duno, and you brick phone.
Next, there are plenty of threads already asking this question and most of them with answers. Check these two out:

No space is earned by moving anything from /system/app, or /system in general.
/system is a different partition and does not count on your internal memory.
Try to move /system/app to the ext2 partition.The only result you will get, will be a very laggy phone, that will make more than 4 minutes to boot properly and you are still left with no more than 210 Mb of internal.
So don't mess with /system.
Regards, D_d
I did the mod but now i have 76 MB of free internal memory, why ? Is for the app data ?? If yes , there is a method to put the data\data folder in sd ?
i typed in adb but i got stuck in SE logo.
10min before i made a backup using xrecovery and backup all data.
can anyone make a new post with a complete tutorial about it?
thanks anyway :-D

Hi all,
I had installed a long time the cyanogem mod mincm6, now in version 3.01, but now i have a problem.
When i go to manage application, for example "adobe reader" with 5.54MB, and click in button "move to sd-card" show me the message error "Failed to move application. There is not enough storage left".
But i have 1.4GB of the extend type ext2 partitioned.
And no way wich i have 1.4GB of the application.
Have any application that manager this partition ?
PS: I dont have application app2sd, i use the native app2sd of the cyanogem.
PS2: I find this in FAQ, but i have 8.33GB free in sd card, and no way that have used 1.4GB in application in ext 2 partition...
I CAN'T MOVE APPS TO SD, WHY?
Can't move apps to SD?? -> Format SD Card or delete hidden folders on SD Card
Make sure you have 'Allow application moving' checked in settings>cyanogenmod settings>application settings

I think that anyone responsee because have a many many post about this. Whell, i repartitioned (erased the ext partition, formated, and copied all files back to sdcard). I have now 9.73GB free in SDCARD.
But i have moved only 20MB and show me same message "Failed to move application. There is not enough storage left".
Have any file controlled for the app2sd, have any folder or something that causing this error ?

Guys,
I think that the app2sd is moving the files to a partition that he created or thought or whatever, Not have explanation to it move less than 20MB and already say that the disk is full (9.73GB free ) .
Well, am I computer programmer and i programer in C / C + + too, i am developing for Android, and digging in to the internet to see if he has C code that "program", to see where is the problem.
The App2sd is not saving in SD. This is so real, that I searched on the SD the app that I sent to SD , "adobe", and not finding this "adobe" in anywhere.
Maybe some configuration file for app2sd, or whatever ... I found that app2sd uses /sd-ext, but not found anything with the root explorer, and windows not show the internal memory.
Also not found the link it to SD, alias, where is it? Anyone know? or anyone know how the shortcuts from the drawer? So I thought misinformation.
Guys, sorry for the outburst, but I want to see if I fix this as soon as I have many applications, very heavy, and to almost no memory.
PS: I Founded some information..... the froyo a2sd save in a folder named .android_secure, that only be showed in windows or another OS, the rootexplorer can't find file sin this folder. Well, after delete again this folder and others, i moved exactly 24MB and, after, the error was showed once again. This folder is not a partition, its only a single folder in a ocean of bytes, rsssss

Perhaps there's a limit to how much space you can use on the sd-card and if so, maybe you can find answers/help in another thread to how to make more space available (devs forum i guess)

But i not found in anywhere in the internet... i stay searching....

I'm having the same problem. To help you analyze it, install Titanium Backup Root. When you open the app you see the space left in:
-system
-data
-app2sd sd
-sd
I never understood why there is a difference between "app2sd" and everything else on the sd. And I don't know how to make the "app2sd" part bigger.
Ty Samuel,
Well,
System ROM: 22.1 MB Free
Internal: 113 MB Free
SD Card: 10.2 GB Free
But i think that same that app2sd uses Internal memory for cache or Ram memory, that have around 20 MB free, have space to move one application of the 3MB...
In this case, i need how much app2sd uses to move application on SD card.
Its very very stranger...
At,
Moacir Jr.
Huh that's strange.
I uninstalled Titianium Backup a while ago, I only knew that in v2.5 I always noticed that difference.
Well in v3.03 I don't see the app2sd part anymore. I have the same parts as you.
I'll test a little bit more and I'll let you know when I discover why "sd" and "app2sd" is not the same.
Well,
Guys, since as not working for me the a2sd with cyanogen, have any troble if i install and use link2sd with cyanogen 3.03 ? I question why i used lin2sd wich android 2.1 from SE, and works just fine....

There is a sizable thread over i9003 forum about editing vold.fstab to swap internal with external sd. I guess they were more desperate as i9003 comes with very small internal storage. But even our "16GB" isn't enough for many of us.
I'm on 2.3.5, and I've tried editing the file using vim, and have failed miserably each and every time.
Unfortunately, the fstab file for i9003 differs quite a bit from the one for i9100. Here are what I've noticed:
i9003:
mount_deep
mbr_policy
i9100:
format_option
otg subsection
They also have different sysfs path and mount point.
Any knowledgeable person/people wanna jump in and make the magic happen?
does no one else see the value in this?
Sure I do
For instance I applied the idea from ownwhere (here) but in the most simple way just to test it.
I tested it with the gameloft dir.
So first I moved /sdcard/gameloft/ to /sdcard/external_sd/gameloft/
Then I created back an empty folder /sdcard/gameloft/
and then I mounted the external_sd/gameloft dir in it with :
mount --bind /sdcard/external_sd/gameloft/ /sdcard/gameloft/
I used Script Manager free version from market to run this script at boot time (added a baaad sleep 60 at the top of it to wait for the system to finish the storages checks).
And this works for me. It will help me to wait for a true external_sd / internal_storage swap mod...
I hope it will also help other people here in the same way as it did for me

But you'd have to unmount every time you want to use usb storage, no?

Hello
Yes I need to do this if i want to use usb storage on desktop computer with the default system option.
But you can use apps like multi mount sd-card lite (free on market) to mount sd-card(s) on desktop computers and keep them mounted on the phone (read-only).
This way I didn't get any mounting problems but I didn't test very much so perhaps this can lead to mounting errors later on.
Maybe you have already tried this ?
I get massive slowdonws when copying large files with that widget.

Hi communtiy,
I don´t have enough app space on my Archos 101 G9 (HDD model)...
Android says I have ~100 Mb of 1,5 Gb free space for Apps! But my model has a 205 Gb HDD , soo there is enough free space on my HDD!
What can I do to make my app storage bigger?! App2SD don`t work I can´t move the Apps, and the Archos support sais it is for my security, and not a bug.
But who needs security ...
Is there an option to make my storage bigger (my tablet is rooted )?! It´s very important for me, because I need the app storage urgent

The problem is because even the huge size of hdd, /data/data is in flash. And every app you put on the tablet, the /data/data is growing.
a2sd isn't a solution, because hdd is slower than flash or sdcard.

Archos Support said:
"Dear Customer,
The Android operating system provides for storage of apps a special storage area, prior to system memory. This memory area, the programmers have limited the Androidsystems intentionally, so that the units can not be overloaded. The HDD on the models in addition to the available memory is intended for the use of media content.
______________________________________________________
Certain apps provide more or less reasonable way that this limit can be circumvented. They allow for example storing apps on SD card. The price is sometimes very high, because the SD card is tied much slower than system memory. Also, some apps do not work more if you outsourced in this way. Under certain circumstances this may damage the system. Archos enters therefore recommends the use of such applications and is recommended from the limited available system memory to accept and to be regarded as a liability limit of the system.
Sincerely,
Archos Technical Support"

Soo there is enough space, but Arochos don´t allow the user to use it!

Custom Rom!?
@surdu_petru
What´s about a custom rom, wich is modified for the HDD version?!
Is there a way to change the App storage values?!
Yes, it's possible, but I think will be almost unusable. Because the speed of hdd.
It's possible to mount under /data/data and/or /data/app with loop a file from /mnt/storage. But, I repet, the acces speed will be very very slow. So, we, wich have HDD version of tablet, must try to remain only with 1,5g flash. Or, change the original sata hdd with a new sata ssd which is thousands of times faster than a hdd.
...
Ok, i thought about changing my HDD to SDD, because of the speed and to avoid freezes in games and videos/music...
How can I change the mount path?!
First, you can try this (in a terminal console or after "adb shell"). Of course, first do a "su".
1. dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/storage/test_loop bs=1M count=1024 (create a 1024 file)
2. mkfs -t ext4 test_loop
3. mkdir /mnt/loop
4. chmod 777 /mnt/loop
5. mount -o loop /mnt/storage/test_loop /mnt/loop
Now you have a new mount point of 1GB.
Let see how moving /data/app and/or /data/data to this.
But not now, because I haven't the tablet with me.

But every boot you have to create mount once again.
Of course, but all need to pack in a nice script to automate entirely process.
Above I did only an intellectual exercise, is quite up to something concrete and functional.
Ok thanks I will test it in the evening
And I will try to write a sh script!
Maybe this is the right way?!
1. Full copy of data/data or data/app
2. dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/storage/data bs=1M count=1024 (create a 1024 file)
2. mkfs -t ext4 data
3. mkdir /mnt/data
4. chmod 777 /mnt/data
5. Delete app directory data [android don´t want that ]
6. mount -o data /storage/data /data/data [I think that won´t work ]
7. Your device is succesfully destroyed

I would like to know if this worked for you and if it did can you walk me through it.
Ditto, I'm pissed off BC I just rooted it not realizing its limitations with speed for apps. You'd think it could pre cache and keep the static data on the drive. Sucks man :/
Ready to Test!
Okey guys, I`ve upgraded my G9 with a 128Gb SSD...
It`s a great success:
HDD = 12 Mb/s
SSD = 30 Mb/s
Now I need more information how to move my Apps...
I looked into the root/data dir, but it´s seems to be a link to my storage (root/mnt/storage --> storage)
There aren´t apps in this dir , my questions where are they?
My phone is NOT rooted.
Few days ago, it started saying not enough storage space, uninstall some programs, 200 mb left free.
First of all, i moved what can be moved from phone to SD, and actually i was already doing that since i bought the phone (2 months ago), and still it didn't help.
So i uninstalled programs which can't be moved from phone, cleared all cache and some data, and had 240 mb free.
Now it's back again to 188 mb free! And i calculated the sum of the downloaded programs and they don't get past 100 mb! I don't understand? Why a 2 GB memory get used up like that?
Further more, one of the programs i had was 7 mb, and when i uninstalled it, it freed only 1 mb!
Do these programs gather some data in a way that can't be deleted?
first of all, moving apps 2 sd does not really make sense. then, your 2gb data partition, that is meant for apps stays empty, while you waste space on your sdcard, which could be used for files of all sorts, like music, pictures and video.
since obviously, in your case, something went wrong, you should format the /data/ partition. without root privileges, it is not that easy to do though. apparently, you are not very attached to your apps' data, since you said you deleted most of that. if you have backed up everything else, like contacts, calendar and so on to your google account, make a backup of your sms and then the sdcard to your pc through usb and perform a full factory reset, then when you set up your phone, your apps will be downloaded again and should not waste as much space anymore.
My USB storage is 12 GB, and SD card is 32: i am not worried about that. Actually i prefer nothing to be on the 2 GB of system storage, even apps! I just don't understand: what eats up the root partition like that? I don't want it to happen again. I will do what you said, but i need to prevent this from happening again. You know what could have done this?

Perusing your past posts, it appears you have an I9100G.
This may be of some interest to you. You will need root in order to even see if this is your problem, though; not to mention in order to implement the workaround presented in that thread.
why in the world would you want the 2gb data partition to be empty. it is on the same physical internal sdcard as the 12gb partition?

No no! I am not partitioning anything! The phone's settings are this way!? The internal memory is: 2 GB system memory: which has the system files, which are full and i can't access these 2 GB because they are system storage and i am not rooted, and 14 GB called "USB" Storage. I didn't do this partition. And i want to keep these 2 GB free for system only, not even apps or anything.
Edit: sorry i thought the thread was irrelevant, but it is relevant. But i don't understand: that dump file, what does it do? I am not following what thy are saying? Also i have another problem: I don't know how to back up my phone while Kies and my PC both utterly refuse to recognize my phone. I gave up on them. It's useless.

Edit: sorry i thought the thread was irrelevant, but it is relevant. But i don't understand: that dump file, what does it do? I am not following what thy are saying? Also i have another problem: I don't know how to back up my phone while Kies and my PC both utterly refuse to recognize my phone. I gave up on them. It's useless.

The issues are related. The dump file being generated is saved to the /data partition, which is part of the 2gb system storage. This is what is eating up your space in the 2gb. The 2gb is for system apps, installed apps, etc. The dump file is more or less an error log dump. It is supposed to stay relatively small, but on some versions of GB for the i9100G, this for some strange reason (that I don't know, since I don't have an i9100G) grows erroneously large.
The workaround detailed in the thread I linked above is to remove execute permissions from the dumpstate file. This has the effect of the system being unable to create the wifi dump file, thus no longer eating up the space on that 2gb partition.

Read only, either by adb or terminal. Now what? That G variation should be burned alive! I found the dump files, they are text logs for god's sake! And they are freaking huuuge! What the hell?

Perusing your past posts, it appears you have an I9100G.
This may be of some interest to you. You will need root in order to even see if this is your problem, though; not to mention in order to implement the workaround presented in that thread.

So if you see the file, I can only assume you are rooted? Then delete the file.
Follow directions in the linked thread to prevent further dump files from being created.

Ummm... I deleted the dumpstate file, and then when i do the adb trick or the terminal one, it says: Bad mode?

It really says "Bad mode"?
I take it you read post 10 of the thread I linked above?
If you are having issues with adb, then use option c from that post. You need to mount /system as R/W before you will be allowed to change permissions on the dumpstate file though.
EDIT: wait a sec. You actually DELETED the /system/bin/dumpstate file? Well, I wouldn't have done that, but that should also solve your problem, since now the file just doesn't exist, so no more dump files will get generated. It also would probably be the reason you can't change permissions on that file. Since you deleted it, it doesn't exist anymore, so you can no longer change permissions on it. ( :facepalm: )
The file(s) I was telling you to delete was whatever wifi dump files were in /data. NOT the /system/bin/dumpstate file. I was saying you just needed to remove execute permission from that file so it would be unable to generate any more dump files.

Oh! I misunderstood you. No of course i tried this adb thing before deleting it. And it said bad mode. Then i deleted it. Isn't this a file to give the command of making these dump files about wifi error? To hell with it! What would i do with that anyway? Nothing wrong will happen. It's like ending the dumprep.exe process on windows xp. And by the way, even when i did the R/W thing, it still said that the file is Read only, and i can't access its permissions. That I9100G is a pain in the freaking a$$: it always needs a "special" kind of everything!
Thank you very much anyway for your help That was too the point and very professional It's sure that you will have my thanks.

the entire storage inside the phone is one 16GB sd card which is built into the phone. there are different partitions on there:
your system is on the 1GB partition /system/, your rom, your system apps and settings are stored there.
then there is a 2GB partition /data/, that is exclusively for user installed apps and their data, from the play store for instance.
there are some other minor partitions and then there is about 12GB of "usb storage", shown as /sdcard/.
if you don't use the /data/ partition for apps, it will remain entirely empty and unused. and in the last sentence of the first paragraph you state you want it for the system, but that does not work, the /system/ partition will always be 1GB and not use /data/.
Another reason I asked and informed you of the fact that it is the same card is, some people think, app2sd is faster, or slower or makes any difference whatsoever to the system, but it is the same card, same speed, only that app2sd wastes space.
i know, this still does not do anything about your problem, but is meant purely for your information, so in the future you can make an informed decision, where what data goes and that you should use the data partition.
i currently have 130 apps installed (some of which are games of >40MB), all internally and use 1GB of the /data/ partition, at the most i had 340 apps (most of them rather small though) and it still was not full.
Delete sdcard and mount extSdCard 16 gb as internal memory.
How to? i have small memory on Samsung b5330 2GB only, and i want to install more apps... and some games, how to delete sdcard i don't need it and mount the extSdCard as internal. Thank you

Well, no reason to just disable it. You can swap them however, though with the limited available development for your phone, there doesn't seem to be any out of the box solutions. You'll either have to try an app like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.codlab.int2ext or follow a guide for say, an S3, and mod that to reflect the correct partition mounts and names for your particular phone and update. For some phones, a compatible kernel is needed for the swap. If that is the case for your phone, you are probably out of luck since there doesn't seem to be much of anything like that for you. Make sure to not only back up your phone, but internal and external storages before attempting this. Would also be good to be familiar with how to flash back to stock with Odin since that's about the only option you have to get back to normal if things don't work right.
NO problem
Is not a problem to do format with odin, i have root-it the phone, i have change some times andoid version on it, i don't care about apps, i have all apps on my pc. i tried more commands with terminal emulator.. no Lucky. i will try this app,
i try to modify "vold.fstab" but nothing changes except on start up, all apps has crashed. and i am sorry for my bad english.
I have a problem, now my extSdCard is same as sdcard folder, and sdcard folder has no changes. are the same... any ideea
Now finaly working, i have changed where normal i have to write path of internal name o /mnt/sdcard to extSdCard and for external i have write /mnt/sdcard now is working .. i have inverted the names.i have loot of memory now how to make the 2 gb of memory work as swap? or lass 512.. becouse i cant see it anywhere.:good:

Good job! As far as the swap - are you referring to virtual RAM swap?

Yes, Virtual RAM swap... i have made it on sd card
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/extSdCard/.swapfile bs=1024 count=94288
mkswap /mnt/extSdCard/.swapfile
chown root:root /mnt/extSdCard/.swapfile
chmod 0600 /mnt/extSdCard/.swapfile
swapon /mnt/extSdCard/.swapfile
But i can't find anymore the 2 gb sdcard, is only my ext sdcard working :laugh::laugh:

Yea, not so sure about that part, unfortunately. I haven't had to do that manually before that didn't already have an established method for the particular phone. Glad the main part is working though!

Any ideea to overclok CPU and GPU seems my kernel isnt supoport this, how to make-it to support :laugh::laugh:
On my pc i did overclok about 30%

That part will probably be pretty tricky because there isn't really any development for it, and almost certainly no source code to build the kernel yourself. Your best bet is to check out some other phones that use the same chipset that might have some development that you can kind of piggyback off of. These other phones would be similar: http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdamaster&posted=1&cpu=a21654
It looks like the Galaxy Y Plus (i9001) has a decent little development community. The guys there would probably be more helpful with figuring out stuff to do since it has a similar processor. Might try to befriend a kernel dev there and see if they could give you a hand.
