I am only able to install 18 apps on the phone and im already running out of room. The phone also only lets me move 3 apps to the sd card. Shouldnt I be able to move more to the SD card? I have an 8gb card with at least 6gb left. help!
p.s Im running HTC Liberty S rom
i have been running with this app for about 6 months now without any problems. i have about 80 apps install and still have 120mb available.

S2E won't work with anything other than Cyanogenmod 7 ROMs.
oh, yeah, thought he was on cm7.

I actually just ran up against a lack of space on my SD card until I realized I had like 10 nand backups sitting there. Freed up like 4GB!

Even though I LOVE the Sense interface (long time WM user), this is the main reason I run CM7 (now CM7.1) It actually becomes a slight challenge to run out of room.
If you're phone is rooted you must use Move2SD Enabler. Read the warnings, follow the instructions and I use it with App2SD. I liberated a lot of MB from internal memory.
Try it and let me know.

running Aloysius V11 maps and my internal memory is getting full. How do I start using the apps2sd and get my memory space back? is apps2sd an app that i can download from th market? I searched and came up with nothing in the market.
No idea, it's easier to just flash a froyo ROM that has it automatically set up lol
i think the rom i'm currently using has apps2sd but i cant find anything that turns it on.
You have to partition your drive or some ****. I dono man.
KaosFroyo has it set-up, no partition needed.
Thanks guys. I'm not looking to change roms as Aloysius has been stable and fast enough for my needs.
I'm not looking for advice on other roms, just some pointers on how to get apps2sd going within this rom.
If its an actual app you buy or if only a custom feature in certain roms. In the description for the Aloysius roms it lists apps2sd so it does work or is included - just need some help on how to get it started.
I followed this script and it worked perfect for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715933
I know it's a lot to read, but I suggest reading the whole thread cause there's a lot of troubleshooting people did, and I think I remember reading somewhere in there about some people running it on Aloysius. I am personally running EE 3.0.
Hope this helps.
After reading through the Aloysius thread for a while, admittedly not a long while, it appears people are getting mixed results with a2sd. If you search the thread with "app2sd" there are some things people have tried. Some work, some don't.
I don't have Aloysius, and have no intentions of trying, but feel free to dig through 3 pages of results.
in the amon_ra recovery menu you it can partition your card for you (make sure you back up your files to your pc first), then you should have no problem running an apps2sd script like the Darktremor a2sd one posted above.
The other posters are right though, it's much much easier to use apps2sd with a froyo rom, as you just choose "send app to sd card" in the settings menu.

Mixed lemon and darktremor thanks for the tips and I will def read up on that thread.
A2SD is a scam. I can't get it to work on my phone, it looks like it's working and yet I only have 17MB of memory. People claim to have all sorts of memory (115MB - 150MB) free when they get A2SD working, but the most I have had is 80MB. A week later, all that space is out the window, and I haven't downloaded any more apps, so where did it all go, huh?

Is your dalvik-cache also being moved to SD? That's where all the memory is tied up. I had about 40MB free before I finally picked up a Class 4 card and moved the cache over. Now I'm at almost 140MB free, and it never changes.

Any noticeable difference in performance after the memory freed up?
Friends
I have searched on numerous fronts but have never found the solution to my problem. The issue is, on the vibrant I have 2 GB internal memory for app installation, with 512 mb ram (I think) to run the apps, in addition to 16 GB of internal storage for files and what not.
However, having 1.4 GB 'app' memory free currently, whenever I install any further apps, some of the existing apps start to crash/restart whenever I need to use them. For example, I use LPP, and when I install some more apps on the phone, LPP homescreen icons disappear whatever action I do (open an app, use an app, etc), and then they reload for about 15-20 seconds when I go to the homescreen again. I have about 35-55 MB RAM free at any given time.
My question is, why give 2 GB app installation memory when you still cannot use it to install apps since they start giving you all sort of problems? I am running stock t-mobile eclair and have recently rooted my phone.
you know what, i think all you need is a task killer or clean your phone or something.. just find a way to free up some space.. 35-55MB is hella low.
Hmm, whats the normal free ram for stock 2.1 vibrant supposed to be? I have not tinkered around with my phone much so am wondering how it could have gotten low to that extent. All the apps that I use are also well known and from reputable developers...
Got any clues?
dunno when i was running 2.1 i was always at 80-120 free range with apps running..
try getting a task killer and kill all running apps..
also check settings > applications > running services > tap and kill processes you dont need running
This still does not answer my question about why there is 2 GB of app memory available...? regardless of RAM..?

Incase people want 2 gigs worth of apps? and if i remember right you have 16gigs storage and then 2gigs of that is partitioned for apps

Yeah, but then what about what I wrote in my first post? It does not make sense if you can 'theoretically' install 2 GB worth of apps but renders the phone useless in function?
Anyone who is actually using close to 2 GB worth of memory for apps on vibrant/Galaxy S?? Would love to hear what you have to say.
Is it normal that on my p500 non rooted stock rom 2.2 (froyo), when i pick the "move to sd" option (on the applications>manage applications thing, you know), a small part of the app stays on my phone.
Like, if a 3mb app was installed on my telephone's internal memory(it would say like "app size : 3.00 mb" or something, and I move it to the sd card, then it would say like " app size : 959k" or something like that.
And i think these 959k is the part that stays on the internal memory, and the rest goes to the sd card.
Am I right, and if I am, can someone please tell me how to move the FULL app to the sd card??!!
Move full app is not possible, there always some of app's files will stay in internal memory.

Not unless you use a method like link2sd.

Even link2sd will leave some little bit of data on the phone's memory. I think you are looking for Darktremor's apps2sd. It works like a dream But has long boot times.

itll take more time to start up your phone
My phone boots up in like 4 minutes with apps2sd. 1 minute 30 seconds with link2sd. I think it has something to do with the Dalvik cache. Both work very well though. I found myself installing too much stuff that I wasn't even using...
If you really want lots of space for all your apps, apps2sd is the way to go. Just make sure to have a fast memory card (at least class 4).
Hello!
Do you think LG/Google will learn from their misstakes and enable Apps being Transferrable to the SD card? I Hope They do.

mistake? no friend, that was no mistake they planned that. ics was a major change in android and the apps to sd card thing is history now (at least in stock roms)
and the reason is that external memory can never be as fast as internal memory in running and executing apps. imo

internal memory is fast i agree, but it is still not faster than class 10 memory cards.
when i transfer data to internal memory it never went above 8 mbps....but with my class 10 memory card i can transfer with 16 mbps speed....so flash memory isnt always the fastest one

It is not history it's optional. It's a feature still embedded in ICS and Jelly Bean but it just needs to be turned on. They made it optional due to the devices like the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 which had no external memory. So having the feature would be pointless. It can be turned on though. I have a couple devices that has it work through your normal system settings.

The main issue with that is majority of consumers that are using these devices have no clue what a class is in relation to SD cards. Hell half of them think SD cards are SIM cards and vice versa and their pictures are on the SIM xD

I know the modern consumer is anything but "brilliant", but pictures on a SIM card? Lol. That may be a touch harsh, though it did get me to laugh.
On a side note, my current devices happen to be the exact same as yours. Fancy that.
Just rooted p769, installed app2sd and want to move apps. When run app2sd get this message:
"the device does not have a real primary external storage, or the primary external storage is emulated. Moving app to SD function may not be supported by this device."
any alternatives or any way to remap without app2sd or link2sd? I have not tried link2sd yet but it'll probably be similar. Would like to remap or move apps until JB/CM is available which will likely have it integrated.

I'll try it, thanks.
Now i have a total of 180 apps, most of them are system, pre-installed, removed most bloatware. Don't want to waste internal storage memory completely, would like to keep some apps in phone and have a few hundred megs free internal, the rest moved to externa sd. Hope it's possible.
On the JB there are app2sd but all data of applications is still saving in phone memory.

Are you saying they initially install on the phone but have the option to move to sd after they are installed or that the option is available but doesn't work to move apps to your sd card.

He's saying that the larger apps such as for example real racing still save the data files to the sdcard. Now the difference is that you can move the actual app to the sdcard.

Yes, sorry for my bad English. We need to root this phone. Jelly bean is great.
I'm so jealous because I have the p769. I hope lg will update soon. I'm hoping with in another week.
I saw this on another forum. Is this true? It would make it unusable to me, and I just ordered one before seeing this. Do we not have at least 12 GB free for apps?
"..an issue I do not know how to resolve. It comes w 4.3 pre installed but the internal storage is not unified (due to USB storage enabled) so just under 2GB is allocated as app storage. This being the setup on older android version we had the option to move individual apps to the secondary partition b within the app option but this being 4.3 this option does not exist so this really puts a damperbn usability of this device."

If you add what it says is available to the what it says I'm using, it totals 6.81 GB. I doubt that includes system apps, as I said I have a lot installed. I had to keep them all on the phone because the ones I moved to the SD card the widgets didn't load on restart and I wasn't getting notifications.
Hope this helps you.

But 6.81 is pretty bad - some 16gb phones have around 12 gb for apps. What in the world is taking up so much memory? I need to install copilot maps which are over 4 gb plus all the other software I use. Don't know if this is going to work for me. Heck - I have almost 5.52 gb free for apps on a 8gb moto-g phone

Well, screen shots of my internal file system storage. My phone is rooted so I could free up more space deleting some system apps I don't use like Facebook but people had to reinstall the system apps they deleted to get the last update to install, and I don't feel like messing with that. I just disabled them. Can you install your co-pilot apps on the SD card?
Sent from my MT2L03
No, I don't think the maps can be loaded on sd card.
Darn - I purchased without checking this out - figured if my 8 gb phone had 5.52 gb free a 16 gb phone would have around 12. My fault for not doing proper research. Everyone was saying how much they like the phone. and I let that sway me. Guess I will send it back as 6.81 gb free in 2014 is almost $99 phone territory.
Looks like copilot is downloading fine. I'll let you know if I have issues after it completes.
It gives you the option to use extsd as default storage.
You are showing 12.69 GB available internal storage for apps. Is this correct? Or is it the 10.50 that is available to apps?
Yes 12.69 available. But when I go into settings > manage apps it states 5.8gb for apps. I believe it uses internal/external for app data, so I believe you'll be OK
check in the copilot options. maybe it has the ability to choose where to save the map data
NOKIA HERE does ... and its awesome btw
