Hey!
I had some apps moved to the internal storage using the stock app2sd feature of Froyo... only to discover that some of them got lost after one or more reboots.
Data is still there but the apps are not installed anymore. Only way to recover them is to reinstall them from the market.
Anybody else facing this issue?
Cheers,
Kashban
for move the apk on internal memory
see applications
not all applications will be moved

Not sure it is the firmware problem or froyo problem.

I don't have these problems on A70, running 2.0.54.
But I don't have a ton of apps
Also, I've managed to fix WiFi problem on encrypted network.
Switch to AES (from TKIP), WPA2-PSK, channel 1, fixed IP (before was assigned via DHCP).
am I doing something wrong cause when I seem to use app2sd to move to internal storage it moves to the 8GB storage and not the 32 GB microSD card I have installed. what am I doing wrong?
I also had the problem with apps having issues, but I uninstalled app2sd and reinstalled and it seemed to fix the issue (the manual update cratered)
You are doing nothing wrong.
App2SD as Archos hasimplemented it uses the internal SD.
You can't change this.

so then the microsd card is just for my music and movie files?
can I even save ebooks(kindle, nook,google, aldilko) to the card or is that also just limited to the internal storage?
That up to that Software, not up to Archos or Android.

You cannot save to your SDCard. These apps work with "sdcard" which is the name for internal memory. The actual sdcard is sdcard\sdcard
What I do is keep all the epubs on the internal memory and all the pdf books on my 32GB sdcard. That works for me.
You seem to be working with / for Archos, may I ask you a few questions:
1) Will the next firmware offer the option to hide the soft buttons menu bar?
2) Is it possible to 'resize' the system (app) storage? Archos has 256MB RAM and 299MB of app storage. The Galaxy S, i saw, has 1.7GB app storage. Surely it does not have 1.7GB RAM.
Thanks
I want to create a second partition on my Xperia S in order to use Link2sd. Most of the help I can find are about using Minitool partition wizard. But Minitool does not work for me for some unknown reason. It just can not find the Xperia S.
Has anybody experience about that? Could you please tell how you did? I have rooted my phone but the bootloader is still locked.
i think we dont need to use the link2sd cause we have already a big size of storage. link2sd is useful when u have a external sdcard and your phone internal memory is @ small size, like my coby tablet it was only 8G then i bought a 16G external sdcard then i used link2sd. .

Thanks for your reply.
My thought was to increase the amount of free RAM which is often very limited on Xperia S although the internal memory is enough (we don't even have the option to install en external SD). I think that Link2sd could reduce the occupied volume in RAM, but I could also have misunderstand it.
Best regards

I am new on this, it is very possible that I got it all wrong.
As what I understand, the Xperia S has a limited volume of the internal memory reserved for installation of apps although the total volume of the flash memory in the phone is much larger. In that case it sould be a great help if there is a way to move more effectively away the apps/programs from the reserved volume to the flash memory. I suppose that is what the Link2sd should do.
Talking about the wasted RAM, I guess there is space for discussions here. As I said above, I am new in this area and it is best that I don't say too much stupid staff. But I have never heard people say that the money which are not used are wasted money.
Regards

You have 2GB for apps, and all game data is still stored on the virtual sdcard. I can run about 200 apps with no issues. About RAM: you shouldn't bother about free RAM, all RAM is used for your apps and it'll be freed in under .5 seconds when it's needed.
Thread moved to Q & A section, post in the relevant section next time.

??????????????????
By using an application that use the mass storage mode I can see the partition in Minitool.
Is there any risk to brick the phone if change the partition size of the emulated sd card ?

I want to know if it is possible to divide without brick. Some applications use the spacer of a large internal memory.
I have an Xperia P but it only comes with 2GB of space to install apps and games
link2sd doesn't work here because this phone lack of MicroSd
I have seen that for xperia s/t made a mod that makes a larger partition for apps
and I really wish to know how to have more space for installing apps on this Xperia P (Locked Bootloader)
I've tried Minitool Partition but only corrupts the memory (link2sd doesn't recognize 2nd partition) and ask for a format on the phone, also with CWM partition option
anybody can help me with this ?
Hi all,
I've just received my HTC desire x, checking the specs there is written
that the internal memory should be 4GB, but I have just 1GB.
the total space shows 1.09 GB (screenshot attached)
on the HTC website there's written
Total storage: 4 GB, available capacity varies*
and then *Available storage is less due to phone software.
Is it possible that the OS takes 3GB? Seems a bit too much for me...
Any idea?
Thanks all in advance

This is correct man. There is no issue or problem. The system takes ~3gb. Cos imagine when you are factory resetting your phone. The original OS file (called ROM) will reside in that memory with a whole lot of other backup stuff which you cant access.
This is why ppl use CUSTOM ROMS, cos we remove bloatware and other things.
What you see in that screenshot is same as mine and as other. Just buy an external card and it will rock
and please go to about > software update > PRESS CHECK NOW even though "Scheduled Check" is ticked cos there are updates and possibly u have one waiting also.

^ +1.
anyway i cant see why 1gb isnt enough for apps and games. if you have a sd card, it will be more than enough because of the ability to move apps to sd.

Thanks man all doubts vanished now,
does it mean that once rooted (I haven't seen any good rom around yet, please advise if you know any)
I can partition the internal memory? Or it's better not to partition anything for a smoother and faster phone?
Thanks again
Yes 4GB in these mount points:
dev - 303MB
cache - 251MB
data 1,1GB
internal memory (emmc) - 1,1GB
system/942MB
Plus a few more like radio boot and / mount point. It's up around 4GB.
i think you want this? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD
with that app. you will no longer have to worry about low internal storage again. i use that all the time on my previous phone who has low internal memory (400mb below). but with des x i dont need it. 1gb internal memory are a lot!

Is it possible to reformat partitions? Why not to have internal memory (emmc) - 1,1GB and system/942MB merged? I'm not using emmc, cuz I have SDCard for all my stuff, so 1,1 Gb are empty, but I have insufficient space on system.
After installing Lineage Os the System takes 36 GB of the internal Storage. Does Anybody have this Problem or better a solution to fix it?

It's a known bug in all Los based rooms, the amount of space shown taken up is incorrect. You should have noticed that when it says system is using 36GB on a 32GB phone lol. Instead of showing true system space used it shows total space used on phone memory (internal memory) plus what's used on your ext SD card. Mine shows 96GB used for system, so don't pay attention to it. Los actually only uses about 1GB of space. If you want get a root file browser and check for yourself
THX jeffsga88, didn't know this Bug, but that explains everything. :good:
Hi there,
I'm sticking with the oos rom...works ok no issues and no big needs for ultra customization.
but.
16Gb are not nough and since I dont' want to sacrifice apps, I'm looking for the rom that need less space on the internal memory...to free some space once installed...
are all the rom made equal?
Tnx guys!

It doesn't really make a difference. Get a micro SD card and use it to expand your storage.
I know I can use an SD and I do use an SD but actually on the internal memory there are 7gb of apps 3,26gb of other and less than 1gb of images, video audio and cache data.
the apps installed are not apps that I can move on the sd.

Well, what you bought is what you got.
Opx has only 16Gb int. memory which only left available less than 12Gb.
Doesn't matter if you flash N custom ROMs, it only has slightly different size (without inbuilt Gapps package). If you're so curious then go for stock AOSP/Pure Nexus ROMs which only has stock/less features.
Weird to me, what kind of apps/games installed on yours so your lack of memory? (seemed so).
I've 70 apps installed with only 1 game, and i still have plenty of memory left.
*If you're on rooted device then just delete any unwanted system apps/services using ES file explorer or kinda. Although that only free small amount of sizes in system memory.
So the trick is: Do not install way too many apps/games that eats memory a lot.

Get one of the nougat ROMs(I highly recommend Paranoid Android), format your SD card as internal storage and you won't have to worry about filling your internal storage up.

Hi Pune, did you try this approach? have you hever noticed any problem( slow down glitch anything) using apps from sd?
I'm really happy with my onyx, the only downside is the free memory....

You can root your OOS > remove all the bloat ( saves approx. 400MB) unroot ( if your not into having your device rooted) and perhaps move those image/video files to exSD.
Flashing a custom rom will probably save you 500 MB including gapps.
The smallest ROM right now would be AOSP-CAF
If you ask smallest rom in size it would be Slimrom, but it doesn't matter, since rom along with all system apps installed on system partition, system partition taking space from internal storage, IINM onyx has fixed 2 gb system partition built in...
Your only option is root your device, bought a micro sdcard and use apps called app2sd, link2sd or foldermount or some apps similar like that.

No I've not had any noticeable performance slow downs when using the SD card. However, do find a reliable ROM that does not have bugs when doing so. For that I'd recommend PureNexus despite the fact that it hasn't been updated for a while. It has been the stablest ROM I've seen so far with Onyx.
The size of the ROM doesn't matter. The device has a separate partition for it anyway. You could have a 600mb ROM and it would be no more intrusive than a ROM that's 300mb.
Another thing, using a ROM with more features does not mean you will suffer from a performance deficit. Enabling some of these features could however have an impact on battery life.
If the features themselves do have a performance impact then I think the ROM team needs to question why they implemented it in the first place.
At the end of the day, they all use the same partition so there's no use in worrying about it

Use Modded OOS, in that way you have both the original OOS with all the extra things removed by default and you would've 6-7 GB free space available on your internal memory. I am also using it. Give it a try
you should move to a custom ROM. They are very good and will save you many GBs of storage and RAM
