Yo,,its cuz ur device has a LIMIT for apps in internal space i suggest adding an ext2 or Fat32 partition on ur sd card and use link2sd guides for it all over the forum,,search button is your friend

Thx, I will try looking at that Im running MiniCM9 on my phone, is there any way to do it there or is the only way link2sd ?

I recomend to use Swapper for root and swapper 2.
When I was in stock rom, I cannot install games which was 25MB+ (because of small RAM, not phone memory - this was still about 100MB free), although I had Link2SD enabled and all installed apks went directly to card.
Now using miniCM7 with both Swappers (first to create swapfile, second to use the swap file and virtually expands RAM) and I am able to install files around 50MB now... And the phone memory is still about 100MB (using native app2sd implemented in miniCM7)

There's no need to use Swapper/Swapper2 in Minicm7. The swap feature is built into the kernel. If you have swap partition, it is automatically detected and used.

Pardon me, but contrary to what you said, it did not work at all and did not give much hope for me. im using a swap program and i have a 150mb swap file on card and now it helps me to use the phone ram efficiently.
im on gingerbread arcmininxt t6
Thank you!

Do you have a swap partition or a swap file? Which kernel do you use? I am not familiar with your ROM, but, as I read, if It is built on MiniCM7, and you use nAa's kernel, you should enjoy swap without external program.

the same thing happened to me while i was trying to transfer my apps from my titanium backup. I deleted and then recreated my ext3 partition and the porblem went away. I think that when i jumped from one ROM to another, the apps stayed in my SD but didn't show up. As a result, with each restore they pilled up in my SD and covered all of the free space.
I may be wrong, but a recreation of my ext3 partition worked for me

Finally Got root om my 10g2 tab, now how tot use ext3?

Can someone tell me how (if possible) to use an ext3 partition to expand the internal and memory on this tab?
System memory is just 200mb so it starts wining about low space already..... It's running on gingerbread and is rooted.

okay... first of all backup your sd card.. then go to recovery mode and go to advanced->partition sdcard->set the size of the partition that you like.In case that this fails connect the sdcard to ur pc with a sd card adaptor and format it
Its not that simple, the current custom rom doesn't support a2sd+ yet..... Formatting is not the problem

Internal memory shortage!!

Although we can move apps to sd with rooted device but it still comsumes some memory form mobile. Is it not possible to move apps to sd without any consumstion of internal memory?

I dont think so...
Partition your SD and use link2SD if you're on stock rom or a2SD / s2e if you're on custom rom. Still, all apps use a small amount of internal storage. Also check if your cache isn't too big, I've recovered up to 40 MB by clearing cache every few months.
You can use "S2E" from market and tick all option including the data one but you will get a decrease in performace. For data you must enter in definitions and tick advanced for accessing it.
I am using Miracale v4 by itasoulas and using link2sd to move apps to sd but if i download heavy size app or games it takes much more internal memory so, i'm running out of internal memory.
If i do partition of my sd card to install app separately will it also consume internal phone memory?

I have made partition of sd yet. Im thinking of making it if I get any solution.
I used Link2SD and now have over 100mb free internal space. I partitioned the sd card to ext3, 1024mb.... works like a charm, no performance issues.. widgets are recognized as well.

get titanium backup and use the "Convert to system app" option...this moves the app to free ROM memory...this should give you at least 25-45 MB user memory

Forum ma search kar bo topic 6 enu upar
i choose manual to move app to sdcard from settings(no use any app for this),20 hd games+17 casual games + 35 apps i still have 70mb free memory,maybe s2e gives more free space but it isn't stable,sometimes when i unplug my battery because of lags,then my apps are gone,link2sd is rubbish,they just give me 40 mb space and unstable like s2e.
sorry for my english

Absolutely true, the only thing good is that it still keeps the app fast (+ widgets) and no hassle on connecting USB
Useful for just those 4-5 apps one wants
Even in link2sd no hassle in USB class 10 sdcard so its super fast :-D

You need a rooted Ace for this? And custom ROM?
Guys,
Sorry to ask a noob question:
I know how to partition the SD card to EXT, but does these apps mentioned, Link2SD etc, working with stock rom? And uprooted phone?
Thanks.
Yes.
But you need follow the tutorials that are posted in the forum (hit search).
In stock roms u need (i guess) another kernel that support inid.d scripts.
The only reason i love cyanogen is because of s2e, after move dalvin on ed-ext i have 160 mb and with all my apps (20-+) i have 140mb.
I don't know if on stock u can do what s2e does but there are another tricks. (Link2sd) for exemple.

Link2SD ?

I wanna try Link2sd and think the looks easy, but I need help to make the partision right on the sd card, anyone with an easy guide for this little task ?

easiest way is
1. go to recovery
2. partition sd card
3. choose the size of ext
4. choose the size of swap
5. reboot
6. done
Dont do demonics way probably bricks ur sd card this is the safest way
1.BACKUP EVERYTHING (JUST IN CASE)
2.download partiition wizard home (free from weebsite google it
3.connect sd card USING SD CARD READER NOT USB CABLE FOR PHONE
4.open pwh
5.choose ur sd card and delete every partition in it
6.creata an partition fat32 (will be regular files like ur music and so)
7.Create a ext3 partition (for apps)
8.click apply
9.copy ur items back to sd card P.S:the ext3 partition is invisible
10.open link2sd and choose ext3 as partition type
11.(optional) go to super user setting and choose to allow automaticcly instead of prompt
12.(optional)set link2sd to autolink apps
13.(optional)link ur old apps that take space
If u need any help at all pm me and rember to always backup. PLEASE CLICK THE THANKS BUTTON AND THANKYOU !!

Any proof that it will brick your sd card? If its not a safe feature then it wont be included the recovery right?

It wont brick anything for god sake. These are two differents ways of doing the same thing. I personally prefer the non cwm way... Just personal choice

Cwm partitioning perfectly fine for me on 3 different phones... Also I am on MiniCM9 3.0.3 and using link2sd... Which is also working perfectly fine. Although if it matters I upgraded my ROM from MiniCM7 without wiping anything, just had to reconfigure my ext4 partition with Link2sd after installing MiniCM9. And now most of my apps are linked to sd-ext partition... So what do you mean by Link2sd not working with MiniCM9?

In other roms i always use, but using this rom cant make work ext partition or swap, any sugestions?

[Q] Is there a minimum Rom free memory...?

I've done some research, but haven't found what I'm looking for. To cope with the memory limitation of my phone, I move some apps to Rom with titanium explorer. Does the rom use the rom partition free space for something? Writting cache, and so on? I have a Xperia J and a X10 mini pro, and they both have around 20 Mb of free space on the ROM. Is it ok? Is there a "safe threshold"?
Thanks

ROM is actually installed on /system partition, and by default its mounted as R/O (Read-Only). So cache won't be written inside /system partition and it will be stored in phone's internal memory. The ROM free space remains free like that which is unused space.

Thanks for you answers. Coolsandie actually answered what I really wanted to know: as system partition is a read-only partition, it doesnt write anything to it, so i can add apps to it as long as there's free space. Thanks

You can't increase ram or internel storage.
But you can create ext partition and link apps there via link2SD
And you may try to use swap partition if you want.

Man. it is so easy.
Just create a small ext3 partition to link your apps there.
You need your SD card to be fat primary partition ( except some MBs to be ext3 partition. )
Use mini tool partition wizard or do it from the recovery which will be easier for you.
and swap is not so important , set it to zero if you want.
27gb fat32 1gb for ext2.. Fast as hell and heaven.. I got 270-300++ internal memory.. 200mb ram.. Feel like trying swap but i scared my sd dead.. Hoho

Hmmm....you need to make 3 partition for your SD card if you want to use swap.....
First partition is FAT32 (must be primary) this partition is for your main storage....
Second partition is ext2,ext3 or ext 4 (must be primary) this partition is for install apps that link using link2SD or Mount2SD....
Third partition is Linux Swap....this partition is for swap (increase ram/performances)
Now all partition size you will make is depend on how you want it....basically 256mb for linux swap is enough but 512mb is recommended is you have SD sizes 16GB and above....for second partition 1GB is enough for installing apps....if you planing to install plenty of apps then 2GB is recommended only if you SD sizes is 16GB and above....for the first partition is what sizes left after your make all partition needed....
remember Swap will not be available right after you have partition is....you need swap scripts to make is available....

Nope.....you SD need to be formatted if you want to add other partition...beside adding partition means that your main partition (FAT32) sizes will be reduces...

Of course you can increase ram performance by increasing swap and can increase your internal storage by partitioning your sd card, but might decrease the read or write speed of your system as sd card is not as fast as internal memory of your phone
For detailed information just google around

hope can help u
first SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH . lol
im never login this account since 2 years ago.
to increase phone memory u can use application "LINK2SD" but, before u use it, i recommend u to make additional partition with ext2/4.
to increase ram maybe u can use with virtual ram. It not give big differents but for games it would be better.
i have MANUAL step to increase virtual memory ( such as adding secondary ram)
1. Download swap file ww*w.media*fire.c*om/?7pszmgi85sucuuc. Remove * . The password is "crescendo"
2. Extract it so from 800kb will be 800mb eace
3. Choose 1 from 3 files size for swap that u want ( up to you )
4. Copy file to /sdcard
5. U can type on "Terminal Emulator"
for example im using with 256mb size :
- to turned on swap
su
swapON sdcard/swap256
- to turned off swap
su
swapOFF sdcard/swap256
-) the green number can be changed and adjust it with size u want.
sorry if u dnt undestand. i cnt speak english well. lol
