Dear Masters,
Need your help again.
I am using the application LINK2SD for transferring my applications to SD card. But what I see is, there is some memory still used from the phone memory even after moving that application.
So, I want to know what can be the reason for that and is there any way to move that data part to SD card?
Please do guide because as per me this is not making any sense in rooting the device as still my phone memory gets low.
Hope that solution gets resolved as always.

Sadly Link2SD cannot link app data, and so internal memory will still be taken up by this. The only way around it is to install JaggyRom (or else install a custom kernel with ext2/3/4 support and a data2SD script, but JaggyRom would be simpler I think) and use it's app2SD functionality instead of Link2SD.
There are various ways to move app data to SD, but they all seem to require the second partition on your SD card to be an ext partition, rather than a FAT partition, and ext partitions are not supported by the stock kernel. I have yet to come across any app or script which will move app data to a FAT formatted 2nd SD card partition.
Thanks
SifJar,
Thanks for your reply, I have already got JaggyRom in my HTC explorer and also downloaded APP2SD from play store, will this suffice? Or I need to add any Kernel or anything like that?
And what about the partitioning of SD card? can you put some light on that as I am a newbie to Android.
Thanks once again.

If you have JaggyRom, you don't need any app from Play Store. It comes with A2SDGUI preinstalled and has an apps2SD script already configured. All you need to do is create a second partition on your SD card. You need to connect your SD card to a computer (via a card reader, NOT your phone), get a partition manager (e.g. MiniTool Partition Wizard) and shrink your current FAT32 partition. Then make a new partition (not sure which is the best format, I think ext4, but ext2 and ext3 should work too) and make sure you also make this partition primary. (So both partitions will be primary). You'll want to make this partition reasonably large. Mine is about 700MB and I use about 500MB roughly with about 85 apps installed.
Once this is done, put it in your phone and start it. Then use A2SDGUI to move apps to SD card (don't move system apps, I don't think it will allow you to anyway), and I think it should automatically move any new apps you install in the future.

It is normal to have some kilobytes left there.I have a sensation and it always leaves some data on the phone and it isn't a lot.
The stock kernal can support ext2 partition so even without jaggyrom u can do it.

Hi all,
Does anyone know if it is possible to make a swap file on the internal SD card?
I have a 32GB internal but a class 2 16 external so this is my only option.
will it shoten battery life or general phone's memory/ productivity life?

If you want to have a swap file (swap.swp) this could possibly corrupt your fat partition. This is based on my own personal experience of course. I recommend use a swap partition honestly.
Just imagine mounting your sdcard to your computer to transfer files while your phone is still attempting to write to /sdcard/swap.swp. This can theoritically cause problems. And you don't want problems on your sdcard. A seperate partition is the safest way to go. But again... just my opinion.
NB: This mod will only work if the kernel you use has swap support built in !
Note that if you are using a rom based on Cyanogen's kernel it is NOT recommended to use swap at all. It will slow down your phone causing more problems than what it's worth. ('Swap grave' is how he put it.)

Are you sure this is for the internal SD card?

Hi all,
I have just purchased a N9330 Note 2 and I am wondering if anyone has managed to merge the phone's
Internal Storage (512M) and Phone Storage 1.68GB.
The Internal Storage will always run out of space (since it is only 512M) and the low disk space warning would come on.
I just want to merge these two together so I get about 2GB of space for Android to run from since I already put a 16GB micro SD
i feel the 1.68GB that is factory partitioned as a storage space can be put to better use and solve my low disk space warning.
Also I am trying to clear the Dalvik Cache from this phone. How do I do that?
I really hope someone can help me. Thanks!!
Sv: [Q] N9330 - How to merge the Internal Storage and Phone Storage
Also looking for a way to do this, as I'm not pleased with the current alternative roms.
This is exactly what I need to do. Please could someone help if they know. I need to update my Google apps that are required to be on internal storage and not on SD storage.
Common experts.. Reply..
I am looking for the same answer from pretty long time and done my homework but couldnt find a answer. Common experts, give us a way to combine internal storage and phone storage...
Cheers..
There won't be a way to combine them, but there usually is a way to swap the storage mount points so the phone recognizes the external as the internal and vice versa by messing with the vold.fstab file. Any method to extend your storage either via that method, or by using other ways like Links2SD or CronMod will all involve the phone being rooted.
You can easily merge/resize the storage size, please refer to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240954
Dalvik Cache can be cleaned using Titanium Backup or Link2Sd or any similar program.
Just remember to factory reset after resizing.

Hello i've a Samsung Galaxy I9100G with a 1.97GB Internal storage and 11.00GB USB storage.
So i saw this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2353551 and tried it with the pit files in there but those for i9100 and my phone got soft bricked and i set it back to my default pit file and now the phone is fixed but i have no idea how to edit my PIT file so i can install my apps and keep my files in there.This could be different i don't need much space for files in my phone i have 8GB and 16GB external sd cards so i just need app space in my phone.
I checked the post but it says to increase block size
but when i increase it shouldn't i be decreasing something else?
and if i increase the block size should i increase block count too ?
my DATAFS is 2.449.408KB but my UMS is 6.643.712KB where is the 11GB?
my hidden partition is 29.720.508KB how is that possible if i have a 16GB phone without my sd card inserted?
So in short i need my internal space to go up to at least 10GB so i can install what i want.
I attached my default pit to the post so if you can edit it or explain it to me how do i go about doing this i'll be greatful. :fingers-crossed:
When I format my android, it formats the internal memory, my question is this, can I use internal memory to install custom rom?
I appreciate your answer...
